Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy

Baking club that can’t bake – 4

When one gets ahead, that one jumps out, but when two start to get ahead, everyone has to move. It’s only a matter of seconds for two to become three, three to four, and a huge leading group.

That’s why Later’s sprint following Erich completely shook the game of Luise’s fight race.

Erich, who was trying to defend his title as the only hobbyist, could not stop Later. There is no justification to stop a member of the confectionery club from making confectionery. Rather, even with what he had blocked up until now, Erich was motivated. Let’s be content with enjoying the monopoly effect so far.

Erich and Later took up Louise’s sides, so of course the remaining three also participated in the confectionery. The confectionery club that couldn’t bake has finally evolved into a confectionery club that does.

To be honest, thinking like this makes me feel a bit embarrassed. It was a grandiose run that shook the game, evolution, but even if it was eventually done, it was a belated start to what should have been done in the first place.

‘The future of the continent is bright…’

Idiots, those are the main people of the continent. It seems that the future of the continent is shining brightly like the head of Section 3, so it can’t be seen.

As I stared at the six in a miserable mood, I met eyes with Later, who just turned around to move the plate. It was awkward to greet her eyes, so she nodded her head in response, and only then did she pick up the plate and go back to Louise’s side. Since our last conversation, Laterr has been so cautious.

I must be very embarrassed myself. Because my family asked me to stop giving them advice. At the time, Erich had an advantage, and if that situation continued, it was unclear whether the skirmish would continue, but honestly, it was ugly.

La Terre probably didn’t know at the time as it was desperate to stop Erich from drinking solo, but he must have realized it belatedly as his heart calmed down. A self-portrait that was uglierly ugly.

Of course I don’t care. Because it would be more beneficial for one person of interest to show a compliant appearance because of this. The small peace I gained at the cost of the other person’s dark history gave me great satisfaction.

“Is this really your first time?”

In the meantime, I heard Louise’s startled voice, and when I turned my gaze, Louise was looking down at the cookies Tanian made with admiration. It looks quite plausible as if it was plated on a plate. But do cookies need plating? Can’t we just put it in a bin?

“Thankfully, I am good with my hands. Besides, the sister taught me in an easy-to-understand way, so I was able to do it right away.”

Apart from my thoughts, Tanian seemed to be in a better mood than usual as he answered with a subtle smile, probably because he was getting Louise’s attention. It is a small happiness for a leading saint candidate who is evaluated as certain to become the next saint.

Isn’t it, considering that there is a saying to be frugal among the teachings of God, I think that’s right.

While I was immersed in delicate thoughts, the other members’ cookies were placed on the table one by one on a plate. Looking at it like this, it’s clear that Tanian did a good job. Outwardly, he was at the same level as Louise. Is this a talent?

The other guys are looking at Tanian’s cookie with a disapproving look, probably thinking the same thing. It’s a little bit like he’s jealous of Cookie, but I’m satisfied with this torture because he doesn’t seem to be in the stage of hating people yet. It’s okay if people don’t fight each other.

“Let’s eat now!”

Louise said as she collected the six different types of cookies the six made. Yes, this is the right club. Until now, it wasn’t a club, but Louise’s one-man show, free ride blocking.

While the members huddled together and reached out for cookies, I stood back a little and watched. The things I eat are sleeping on the shelf, so I don’t have to wear them. Louise must have big hands. To the extent that it seems that the speed of filling is faster than the speed of eating.

‘No, you bastards.’

And my cookie jar, which has never been empty since the club was founded, is scheduled to be full again today. Of the six cookies, only Louise’s cookie does not shrink.

They ate some of Louise’s cookies as a matter of etiquette, but at some point, they stopped touching them as if they had promised. At first, I thought I must have looked at it wrong, but seeing that the other plates are gradually emptying, I think I saw it correctly. The gourmet club is not here, so why are you taking care of gourmet food here?

I was embarrassed for no reason, so I sneakily looked at Louise. Thank god. I was worried about what would happen if I trembled with betrayal and shame.

“Did you leave me to eat? Thank you for thinking of torture this way.”

Still, Louise could notice if I kept neglecting it, so I sneaked up and took the whole plate. Today, the amount is a bit bigger than usual… Today, I will be full after eating only this.

As I picked up the dishes that we had been avoiding while looking at each other, the eyes of the five looking at me turned into the eyes of the person who held my hand right before I fell off the cliff. Louise was delighted with a big smile when I suddenly took her cookie.

“My older brother seems to like it, so I made more!”

Yeah, you can see that…

“Brother seems to have a warm heart.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Around the time when club time is over and the club room is quiet. After Later, Tanian remained and talked to me this time. Even with bizarre sounds that are far from me.

“Didn’t you show consideration for Sister Louise today as well?”

Tanian’s words with a grin were even more difficult to understand. Because you don’t know what I cared for? If you don’t know that, you’re a jerk. I am not yet an intellectual degenerate.

“If you knew that was considerate, wouldn’t you have eaten together?”

Bastard, it’s the worst thing to know and not do.

In a situation where everyone turned away, I was able to put the plate down only after I finished eating the cookies on the plate. The kid who said he made more because he seems to like it is staring at me like that, how can I get off halfway?

Tani An smiled a little and bowed his head as his brow furrowed slightly at the sweetness he could still feel in his mouth.

“I’m sorry, brother. There are some things that are difficult even with hard work. I will pay more attention in the future.”

“I’m really looking forward to that.”

“Haha. I’d say it’s a minister, but if it’s okay, can I tell you about your future path?”

At those words, my body stopped arranging the scattered dishes.

“Ahead?”

“If you don’t mind.”

If you have to compare the road ahead that Tanian is talking about, it’s like going through four weeks. Instead, since it is a world where gods and divine power exist, its reliability is considerably higher than that of the entire world of possession. I hadn’t received it until now because it was possible only for a few priests with excellent faith and holy power.

“Please.”

By the way, the future that the next saint looks after? It is unconditionally beneficial even if you eat raw flour instead of cookies. It’s an opportunity to find even a small clue about my twisted luck and luck.

Tanian, seeing my change in demeanor, burst into laughter again, then hardened his expression seriously. Perhaps it was because he had heard that he looked out for the way ahead, but he seemed to see a professional who was faithful to his duties, so his trust rose. I’m sorry, I thought I was a sly guy until now.

“Actually, I saw the brother’s future from the first time I saw him. Sometimes, just by looking at him, I could see his future.”

“I see.”

“And such a case is a road ahead that even blessings cannot interfere with.”

“…….”

What is it, why are you so anxious?

When I looked at Tanian in silence with a strong feeling, I shrugged her shoulders and continued.

“I have good news and bad news, but it doesn’t matter which one you hear first, so I’ll tell you in turn.”

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll listen.”

“No impossible trials will come to you, brother.”

“That’s good news.”

Even now, sometimes it’s hard to breathe, but if a catastrophic ordeal comes to me, I might really go crazy. Tanian’s words gave me a little hope, so I felt relieved.

“Instead, a near-impossible ordeal may come.”

This sh*t.

I managed to stop the swearing at the tip of my neck, which almost came out at the time difference hope torture. Tanian must have been a bit sorry for saying that, so he took care of himself before I protested.

“I thought a lot about whether or not to tell you something. Blessings are useless, so there is nothing that will change just by listening, and it is not accurate to say that the future is the way to go in the first place. How can we, as created beings, see through the affairs of people who have been ordained by God? I kept quiet because I thought I would disturb my mind with the talk.”

That was the right idea. My heart is very confused right now.

In place of me, who couldn’t bear to open his mouth, Tanian shyly opened his mouth. No, stop. I’m afraid of what I’ll hear now.

“I’ll say it again, the road ahead is not accurate. We can see the road ahead, but we don’t know if it’s the road we saw properly. In fact, there are often records that the previous Pope or Cardinal saw the road wrong.”

“I see.”

That’s so comforting…

Tanian left and I was left alone in the club room.

“Even if a heavy trial comes to you, you can overcome it with your own abilities, so don’t be discouraged and go forward.”

Tanian’s last words lingered in my ears. In fact, rather than talking about the road ahead, he added that the purpose was to support this. I wanted to say it until now, but I didn’t have the opportunity, so I said it now.

But the road ahead could be wrong. It’s worse than what you’ve seen, so isn’t it possible that an impossible ordeal can come? Then can I get over it if I’m not frustrated?

I let out a sigh. I thought today would be normal and pass safely, but out of nowhere, the candidate for the saint said, ‘Let’s sell you, twisted like a dog. It’s a bit difficult, but there’s no way. Regret.’ I heard the same sound.

Of course, as Tanian said, the future that people see is not accurate. Just think that you heard some unpleasant words from the fortune teller in your previous life. But the fortune teller is Nostradamus. Damn.

I almost sighed again, but then I closed my mouth and stood up. Well, when did you ever think that my salesperson was good? I felt a little more at ease thinking that I heard the obvious story. Expectations are disappointing in the first place, so what was I expecting?

After clearing my mind like that, I went back to the dorm and finished the day—

“Inspector General. That…”

When the vice principal came to the club room the next day, it was clear that Tianian’s words were a foreshadowing of the work to come.
