On the other hand, the time goes back a little before Abel and the others participated in the recruitment event.
This is a coffee shop set up in a quiet back street in the western section of the royal capital where the students gather.
Eliza, a young girl with reddish hair, was waiting for her friend to arrive at the order counter to pick up her coffee and take a seat.
This place is Eliza's favorite coffee shop.
The shop seems to have been opened as a hobby by a woman who used to work as a court cook in the royal capital, and it can't be said that the shop is very prosperous in terms of customers, to say the least.
However, the shop has become known as a "famous shop known to those in the know" among some female students because of the high quality western sweets available at a reasonable price.
Here you go! Eri-chan~!
The one who appeared in front of Eliza with a tray of colorful western sweets on top of it was Yukari, a dark-haired, dark-eyed girl who belonged to the same class.
It's likely that there were many things that the same outsider students could talk to each other about.
Since the incident of "Haunt" that took place during gym class the other day, Yukari had come to be completely at ease with Eliza.
''Huh? Eli. Didn't you order any sweets?
As soon as she arrived at her seat, Yukari was left with an intense sense of discomfort.
As far as Yukari knows, Eliza's appetite is bottomless.
Especially when it comes to 'sweets', Eliza will gobble up an amount so much that as a person of the same s*x, it's a bit worrisome.
But what about now?
The only thing Eliza had on her tray was coffee, which didn't even contain sugar, and she didn't have the slightest trace of her usual appetite.
