Three days later.

Thursday, 4:30 PM.

All the classes had ended.

Today was the regular meeting of my second club, Foodie Exploration.

Aisha glanced at me and left first, evidently not wanting others to see us leaving together.

Following her cue, I waited about five minutes before departing. To an outsider, it might resemble a secret romance.

I packed my bag while conversing with Noctar.

"Are you taking care of yourself, Theo? Even if you don't train, make sure to take the elixir regularly. It's most effective if you take it an hour before bed."

"Yeah, I take them every night before bed. But I haven't noticed any effects yet, and they don't taste good either. When can I expect to see results?"

"Hmm, for someone like you, Theo, you should see effects within a month. Our ancestors who went to the side of the War God proved it themselves."

"Alright, I'll keep that in mind."

"Great, stay strong. I'll go ahead. See you tomorrow."

With those words, Noctar and the orcs left the classroom.

Just as I was about to leave,

"Hey, you."

Piel approached me.

"What's up?"

"Why haven't you been coming to the training grounds lately?"

Then, Piel coughed awkwardly, looking embarrassed.

I recalled my words to Piel last week, urging her to overcome her struggles and not to mention despair.

Considering she's talking to me again, she must have taken it well.

I decided not to mention my poor physical condition.

"I've been busy with club activities lately."

"Really? What club?"

Piel widened her eyes in surprise.

"Foodie Exploration. I have a regular meeting today, so I'll be going."

With that, I left the classroom.

"!"

Aisha, who had been peeking from a distance, quickly averted her gaze.

Approaching her, I asked,

"What are you doing?"

"Well, since you were taking so long, I thought something might have happened."

"Really?"

"Of course! Anyway, what took you so long?! Even though I'm the next club president! We're going to be late... Luckily, I booked our reservation a bit late!"

Aisha seemed unusually flustered. I felt like teasing her, but that would only make her upset.

I matched my pace with Aisha and said,

"There was a reason for it. Anyway, I have a question."

"What is it?"

"Why do you have Foodie Exploration meetings on Thursdays? Wouldn't Fridays be better?"

Of course, all the club members are underage, so they won't be drinking alcohol, but why not Fridays?

Wouldn't it be better to enjoy delicious food at the end of the week, as a way to wrap things up?
