Chapter 29: Breakfast With Acquaintance

"Saguaro my dear, could you please take out the bread from the oven?" The sweet voice of a middle-aged woman reasoned inside the kitchen.

She had pale skin that was mostly entirely covered by her brown pastry outfit, but they still weren't able to cover her wide hip from the world. She had green hair that was styled in a curled side ponytail, while most were hidden by her beige chef hat.

"Right on it my lovely Katy." The person who responded to her was a more burly man, where if anyone dared to tell this man wasn't a bodybuilder or an ancient general, then he would be regarded the same way as if someone told him that the sky was red. The man also had a tchick mustache across his face and curly black hair that made him look like an extremely intimidating man. But this impression would be completely destroyed after seeing what he was wearing, a pink shirt with white stripes in a linear shape. And over it was an apron where we could read 'Don't Worry, I'm a Pro-fry-onal!'.

"Lovely Katy?! Since when I'm only you're lovely Katy? What happened to my precious honey?" Katy complained humorously as she took a tray of uncooked cookies and put them into the oven.

"Well it disappeared as my love for you when you said that no one would eat my sandwich!" Saguaro grumbled in fake anger as he reached for the burning hot bread deep into the furnace without even bothering to wear mittens to protect him from the burn. However, despite his enormous hand, he made sure to grab each piece of bread as delicately as he could, to make sure not a single bruise tarnished their appearance.

"Well of course they won't! Do you realize what time it is!? Do you really think there exists a single teenager who would be ready to wake up at 6 am when they don't have any school!?" Katy argued back, but it didn't mean she stopped working, as she reached for some floor and some chansey egg.

Saguaro sulked toward her reply, but he didn't argue back, knowing very well that he couldn't refute her point and anything more would be in bad faith.

He could only sight and look at the sandwiches he put so much love into them and that were sadly starting to cool down on the table. He prepared them in advance because he thought that some students would wake up early to eat, but he completely forgot the clientele he was facing.

For the first years, the only candidates who were selected to pass the test were those under the recommendation of the people who invested in the academy. So to put it shortly, only the children of the rich were allowed to participate. And despite all of the goodwill Saguaro was willing to give them, he wouldn't consider them as the more willing to wake up so early. Of course, he heard that there were fewer students who joined the academy than expected, but he still considered that most, if not all of them were under a rich patron.

But that was only the impression he was under.

*Swift*

For the first time since they got there, both cooks stopped their work and looked over their counter in shock.

When Saguaro was able to identify the new arrival, he immediately threw a smirk toward his wife who rolled her eyes toward his newfound cockiness.

"Well, it seems I was right in the end."

"Please, you believed it as much as me."

"It's not time to debate on such an obvious matter, we have students we need to feed!" The burly man denied all of his previous opinions to move ahead of their counter to greet the students.

The group was easy to guess of course, it was simply the member of the dorm of Luciel.

'Hmm, blindfold, wearing white hair...ah! He must be the kid Joy warned us about...what is he doing waking up so early then? He should take more care of his health.' Saguaro thought, but he still made sure to keep his brightest smile when they advanced toward him.
