"Stail, Tiara. Are you connected already?
"I'm connected!
"Yes, how about pride? Should I do it if it seems difficult to sail?
Tiara and Stale answer me by opening the door from my room.
And, Stone Stale, in one more word, it seems to me that I'm asking for help. Though I wonder if they are already waiting for me, I must appeal to Stale for help.... I'm pathetic.
There was a rattling sound of my feet and Stale came to my room. From the open door, I was in front of my desk, struggling, and I said, "How far have you been?" He laughs at me.
I peeked into the computer screen next to me and moved my mouse around with a familiar grip to get to the page I needed.
"I'm sorry, Stale. Even though Tiara connected me..."
"No, you're almost there because you've already reached the dedicated page. Tiara was frustrated when she started her computer."
From Tiara's room, who would have heard the voice immediately afterwards, "Niisama!" The angry voice jumped out.
I thought Tiara was definitely doing computer classes in class, but I bought a new one from the school, so I couldn't help it because the computer was different.
Even as I smiled, Stale quickly pushed my computer to the desired screen. As the screen of the loading mark turned around, Stale said, "Well, slowly," and went back to his room again.
Pride Royal Ivy.
I, the royal family of this country, am a senior high school student belonging to a school equipped with dormitories that is consistent from kindergarten to high school.
Our school, run by the queen's mother, is divided into disciplines in the same academic year. Me, Stale, and Tiara were enrolled in a department called "Social Studies," in which, as the name suggests, upper-class students who were promised a future, including royalty, belonged.
Our school's social education and exclusive school buildings, which require commensurate financial and academic skills to enroll, are referred to as the highest in the world.... well, anyway...
Now that I've been suspended from school due to a declaration of emergency, it doesn't make any sense.
"Ah, onee-sama! Welcome!"
When the connection was finished and the screen switched, Tiara waved in front of her room.
Starting with Stale, your face naturally breaks apart on a familiar face.
Now that a state of emergency has been declared and a solemn order to go out has been issued by the government, I am certainly one of them, the royal family. Having crossed the corner of the first ending, I now wonder if the virus is spreading, or if it's a bug.
I can see Stale and Tiara living together in an apartment near the school every day, but I can't see the school people unless I can see the mothers living in the royal palace. As a result of the unexpected lengthening of the dragging order, we had time to hold an online lunch party.
When I called in via SNS, I was surprised that the number of people gathered, so I had Stale choose the best video call service. On the other side of the computer, everyone but me was already on the small, separated screens.
"I'm sorry I kept you waiting. I'm the one who said it."
"No problem. I was surprised Arthur was able to get here before Pride."
"Ahh?! Yesterday you were so late on the phone!
Arthur across the screen roughed up his voice to Stale.
It seems that he is slightly out of position in the camera. Arthur said it was easy to connect when you opened the app on your phone. Though the screen is smaller than the computer, I wonder if it would have been better if I had taken too much time.
Arthur, who belongs to the Department of Knights, is the third grader above me. Unlike social studies, practical examinations are important, but they are just as challenging as advanced studies. Arthur, who comes across the school building every time he's off, is now separated from the dorm.
"Arthur, don't yell too much. I heard it from behind the wall."
"I heard it myself. Did you hear Senpai Alan?
"Uh, I'm fine."
Lower your head toward the screen as Arthur rushed to the words of Senpai Column, Senpai Eric, and Senpai Alan.
Sorry, I looked around the room caring about the surroundings.
They are all neighbors who live in the dormitory of the Knights School. After Arthur apologized to the wall and then to the screen and camera three times to make sure he wasn't used to feeling online yet.
"Well, Arthur and I all lived in the same dorm. I'm jealous because it looks fun."
Leon smiled again from a different screen after a friendly exchange between the four.
Fufu, he smiles joyfully. He's in the class next to me at school. A neighbor's royal family, but a brilliant prince who decided to take one shot at the best school in the world.
Even after I was unable to go to school due to a declaration of an emergency, he exchanged messages with me every day, but it's been a long time since I saw my face, so I feel strange.
In Leon's words, Senpai Alan waved "No" laughing.
"That said, the room is separate, and I can hear the sounds of life from the wall occasionally, and now it's the same as you. Instead, Leon is bustling with help, right?
"I do live here, but it's not as lively as it sounds. That's why I'm so happy to talk to Pride and everyone."
I can see a cup on Leon's screen with a smooth smile on Senpai Alan's words.
Probably the usual butler. "Thank you," said Leon, thanking outside the camera is as elegant as ever in the house.
Normally Lotte and Marie would come to clean the house and Jack would come to the escort, but they're all waiting at home for a declaration of emergency. The drawer cage is also in the cage, and it will be okay for about three people for a while. We also followed Father's intention. Unlike Leon, who lives alone, this one is managed thanks to Tiara and Stale.
After Leon, Tiara talked to them, and in the next moment, a number of surprises rang out from most of the screen: "Only three people".
Like Leon, he thought we had a helper in the house. Arthur said, "I didn't hear you!" and yelled at Stale.
"This apartment itself is a well-managed building in collaboration with the Knights. In case anything goes wrong, the Knights will be on their way."
So Stale calmly explains that it's okay and starts brewing tea across the screen.
The fragrance of black tea also arrives in this room without heart. When Stale stood up with the pot in his hand, he turned to me and Tiara on the screen and said, "I'm going to deliver the tea because it's boiling." After Marie and the others stopped coming, Stale was in charge of drinks. While only Stale sat in the middle from the screen, Column Senpai finished his forehair with his fingertips.
"Is His Majesty King Cedric's brother having a good time...? How are Kings Lance and Joan?"
"! Ah, I am just like His Royal Highness Prince Leon. I talked to my brothers this morning, but there's nothing wrong with my health."
Thank you for your concern, and I am relieved by Cedric's words.
I hope King Lance and the others are well. I was particularly worried because King Joan seemed somehow weak. Neither the Kingdom of Anemone nor the United Kingdom of Hanazu has changed from our country, but I am glad to know that we are safe.
Cedric, who had said nothing earlier, shook his shoulders in response to a call from Captain Column. Cedric's eyes are slightly swimming as Stale delivers me a nice fragrant cup.
I could only tell from the screen that I was staring in one direction, but... I think I was obsessed with Tiara, who had seen her face for a long time.
Cedric, who emigrated to Japan and decided to move in with top grades, is in the same class as me, but he has rarely been able to meet Tiara himself in the middle third year class. And he didn't make any contact with Tiara during the school holidays.
She regularly contacted me and said, "How are you?" "How's Tiara?" After the emergency declaration, Tiara was busy interacting with her friends at SNS. She stared at her smartphone with a difficult face every day, but never heard from Cedric.
Cedric says he hasn't responded since he sent a message to Tiara on the first day of the emergency declaration asking if he's okay or not feeling well. As usual, Cedric is backing Tiara's unreadable read-through attack. It is not Cedric who Tiara is in frequent contact with, but a girlfriend or Prime Minister Gilbert....
"Tiara! What's wrong with you? Look scary.
"Do you have a fever? My face looks a little red just now!
Sefek and Chemet shout out their faces from a single screen.
Because they both live together in the primary and secondary sections, they participate with one camera. The two men, whose faces approached the camera as if they were concerned about Tiara's health, were all up on the screen.
I can see that Tiara's face is definitely on fire. It was rare in front of Tiara's fever suspicion that Cedric was "hot or hot" and the camera was shaking.
Tiara, who shook her head sideways, raised the cup of tea that had been delivered to Stale small and shouted, "It's just warmed up with tea." The voice came from the door to my room. I wonder if Tiara is also opening the door. Unlike the dormitory, it's such a thick wall that it sounds so sticky.
I was worried about Sefek and Chemet, and the seniors of the Knights Department looked warm without heart. Senior Eric, Alan, and Column, who belonged to two or three years of college, are Arthur's seniors, and are excellent quasi-knights who have refrained from joining the Knights.
It's time for lunch. That's enough time. "
Eric pointed at the clock that was hanging behind him, smiling as if he were looking at something smiling.
To be sure, it's just noon. Originally, I took the time to have lunch with everyone, but I talked to them first.
Well, while returning it, I arranged the meals I had prepared to enter the camera. Looking at the screen, everyone else's lunches are lined up in front of the camera. Leon and Cedric are cooks made by their usual chefs. Unlike school, both tasty home-cooked dishes seem delicious.
"Alan, you're eating like that again...."
Hah... while exhaling, Senpai Column wrinkles between his eyebrows.
It seemed that Senpai Alan had just returned to the camera with a hot yakan. On the table is a stunning pile of cup ramen. Does the fact that it has just been loaded mean that all of this is one meal?
Senior Column said to me, "What?" Alan began to open the seal from the top cup of ramen. The word "special offer" looks big on the lid.
"No, I mean, come on, it's hard to make. Lunch, takeout, everything's expensive, right?
"I think the total amount of the cup ramen is higher...."
I fully agree with Lieutenant Eric, who is a bitter smile. At the very least, I thought it would be cheaper if it was a bag of ramen, but I think perhaps the trouble is at the top. Arthur said that Senpai Alan can cook himself, and I think it's better to train than that. Senior Eric said that he only cooks at cooking receptions held by dormitory members of the Knights Department. I wonder if cooking for myself is a troublesome type.... I'm kind of worried about my diet.
"Physical fitness is a knight's rule. Don't miss that much work."
"You can do columns even if you say that. It's a lunch box distributed in the dorm cafeteria, isn't it?
Enough? Rather, Captain Alan points to the screen as if he were worried.
Looking at the column captain's screen, one plate of lunch was placed on the table with it warmed up. Even if the dormitory is in a clandestine state, the dormitory cafeteria will distribute lunches for each room to students who wish to do so. Of course, then the nutritional balance is also weak. However, it seems that the neck is quite expensive and the amount of rice that cannot be replaced is small.
As evidence, Arthur and Eric are arranging lunch differently than Column. Senpai Column said that the amount of exercise is just right.
"Is Eric and Arthur handmade?" Asked Column Senpai, Eric waved his hand to the side to be humble at first.
"I've bought a lot of soba noodles myself. Even if it is made, it is about the staple food system and juice. I still have trouble every day."
Even so, I arrange the side dishes properly to maintain a good balance.
Besides, I think it takes a lot of effort just to cook rice and make vegetable soup. In the current way, perhaps even one person cooks their own fried rice, yakisoba and rice bowls.
"I think it's good enough," praised Leon, pointing to one side of the screen as "more than that."
"As always, Arthur won't let go. Did you make them all by yourself?
"Ah, no! I'll make it and leave it for the rest of yesterday. That's what I do during the day."
Arthur raised and lowered his shoulders as he stared at the screen impressively.
Column Senpai also waved his hands "It's not a big deal", and on the table, there is a pile of soup and vegetables that seems to be delicious.
It seems that for Arthur, whose parents are small restaurants, cooking is not even a hassle. Besides, I just heard that it was made and put away. It is great in itself that we are already making stockpiles.
"Ah! Alan, how many dishes would you like? I'm going to deliver it now."
"Seriously! Wow, that's so helpful! Please!"
"Arthur, I'm sorry, but please share the vegetables with Alan. And when I see you, I want you both to wear masks."
Arthur disappeared from the screen once he had properly cooked, masked and hand-washed.
Captain Alan also said he was going to get it from himself, and left Jacquard with the hot water and disappeared from the screen.... after all, dormitory life seems very pleasant and envious. Should I still ask my mother to go to the girls' dormitory in school?
When everyone somehow shut up about Arthur and Senpai Alan's disappearance, they just whispered, "Wow! Did you make all of this again?" "No, it's easier to make all that stuff all at once..." Both voices leaked. I stroke down my chest today that Senpai Alan's healthy diet has been secured.
They came back almost simultaneously, but it was spectacular that Senpai Alan stacked up three large tappers next to the cup ramen tower. Instead of serving it on a plate, Rentin is happy to keep the lid open as it is. It's the same pile as Arthur on the screen.
As everyone sat down again, Leon tilted the teacup as he gazed across the screen.
"The prides are all here. Did you make it with Pride and Tiara today?
"! I made it with my sister. I wanted to bake a hot cake like a picture book."
"My sister and Tiara are good cooks, and I'm being helped."
Tiara, I can only feel everyone's gaze coming from across the screen in Stale's words.
Our plates are stacked with three levels of hot cake. I'm glad that Stale would praise me, but I secretly wonder if this would have been a black burn without Tiara.
Since Lotte and the others stopped coming, we've been cooking more and more, but so far we're not relying on each other. It's a nutritionally balanced offering based on vegetables and side dishes, thanks to tears and two cooks.
Still hot cake, chicken salad, soup. And I think it's quite a good lineup with Stale's tea. I thought that sweet lunch would be tough on Stale, but when I suggested it, it was pretty good.
You're good, it looks delicious, amazing, and everyone praises you, making your body tickle. Of these, I think Arthur is overwhelmingly self-catering.
With that in mind, I glanced at everyone's lunch again.... my eyes stopped at one point.
What happened to Sefek and Chemet's dinner?
As you can see, only two screens are lined up with rice.
I just have a cup containing a drink. Everyone else stops looking in one place. I wonder if it is warming up.
We can't afford to cook without the youngest two, and everyone gets set up. Then, at the same time as Chemet ate, "Ah, uh," Sefek began to check his phone. It seems that the customer is using Chemet's smartphone for the camera now. "It's almost time..." said Sefek.
"! I'm back!"
Kemet turned to the other side of the room and played a voice.
Furthermore, if Sefek's eyes were to shine, the sound of chatter appeared from the other side of the room. Probably even heard the lock open earlier.
Welcome back! And as I raised my voice, I saw the footsteps of the person I saw again from the door behind them. I put two plastic bags that looked heavy on both hands.
"Val! The one who bought me the cake, the strawberry one!
"Thank you for shopping! I have half of it!
"Now go to the convenience store. Chemet, it's not that way, it's that way."
Val, who handed over a convenience store bag to Rushing Chemet, was apparently out.... I'm ordering home caution at school and in the country right now.
Sefek, who received vinyl from Chemet, lined up lunches, fried goods, vegetable juices, salads, shortcakes, and yogurt in turn from the convenience store bag. I wonder if the two of you have specified the product, or if it's not junk.
"Well done on part-time work! How was Mr. Bayle's shop?
"Ah? You can't crush me while you can afford to hire me every day. It was difficult for me to manage my business, so I went to lunch today."
Chemet drank a glass of water and approached us.
Is it possible that you are not aware of the fact that your eyes are not open? Is everyone else thinking the same thing? They wrinkle and gaze between their eyebrows, but they don't say a word. I feel a little sneaky.
Val sits on the floor with Sefek and the rest of his shopping bags at the same time as he sits at a table where the camera shows his face. The contents of the three convenience store bags peered into her face together with a loud noise. All canned beers in the same package are tight... "
"" "Wait a minute!" "
Hold on a second. I almost cried together with Stale, Arthur, Column, and Eric.
After five shouts Val finally noticed our presence, he raised his face. He raised his eyebrows surprisingly and finally turned his eyes towards the camera.
That explains why Sefek was an online lunch party to Val as he approached the screen. Chemet rushed to hide Val's beer outside the camera's range, but it was too late.
"Val, you must be 18 years old. Why are you buying alcohol? Stop it now."
"I don't suppose you let Cefek and Chemet drink, but you're the only one who can destroy the liver." "Don't drink grandly in front of them."
"What was that conversation in the first place?"
"Don't go out in such a hurry. Don't go out in vain! And buy ingredients instead of liquor.
"In general, Teme is working with Pride, right?"
Starting with me, Stale shouted, Column and Eric pointed sharply at him, and Arthur pointed his finger at the screen.
Val lives with Cefek and Chemet, but instead of replacing my living expenses, which include both tuition fees, he works mainly for Mr. Gilbert. He is also our prime minister who serves as an aide to his father, the king's aide... secretary.
To be honest, I know that I work as secretary to successive prime ministers, and I don't think it's Gilbert who has real power from behind.
Although the remuneration was supposed to be quite a bit different from that of shoulder replacement, he was still working in secret today, apparently on a part-time basis after school. Because I was a former ex-con who had left school early and worked, it might not be suitable for me not to work.
Instead of trying to get Val to take them over, I transferred them to my school's "general school"... but sometimes I'm really worried about whether they're okay with their lives alone. Most of the time I enrolled him in school, but if I didn't, Sefek and Kemeto wouldn't go to school.
Val didn't care at all that he had to go to school, and he didn't listen to the word "compulsory education" many times. In general education, it is not so difficult for students to enroll in general education if they have money, recommendation or academic ability.... well, the proximity of the school building, where all the successors of the upper classes gather, and the identity discrimination between some students are so intense that it is a bit unpopular every year. My mother also said she wanted to improve it.
Hmm...
Val glanced back at us with his troublesome face beside Sefek, but walked away from the screen as he got tired on the way.
I grabbed the beer that I had just bought with dignity to keep it open. Pushy! Shortly after the plug is opened, he snorts his throat in front of us and drinks it out.
Even if we screamed, Val, who emptied the can at once, was there for the first time spreading a nasty smile at us. I'm already a convicted criminal. There are no hands or feet on the screen.
"Val, if you don't have that much money, why don't you just stay with me? I'll rent you an empty room.
"How many times do you want me to say that to you?"
Val threw up after repeated interactions with Leon.
He lives with us in a cheap room, not in a school dormitory. Since I met Val, Leon has offered me a place to stay, but I've been turned down every time. Leon also admires being a roommate, so he would definitely like you to come.
"When you can earn, what do you want to earn? I wonder if they're out there somehow."
With that said, Val takes the croquette out of the convenience store bag and hits it before any of us.
He broke his leg in front of a low table and opened the second can again. In the meantime, Chemet and the others were finally ready, and the dishes were arranged. By doing the "please" action, we start eating as well as flowing.
"I haven't been out much, but... well, I guess everybody's shopping. How's King Cedric's brother?
"That's what I'm talking about. I can get anything by mail or outsourcing without going out right now."
Cedric shook his head at Leon's throw.
After all, the two helpers are like that.
"You might be out there somewhere... When I buy vegetables and so on, the expiration date is really short, so I go to buy them in bulk."
"Instant is easier than the expiration date."
No, it's... and Eric laughs half way at Senpai Alan's words.
A cup of ramen is no substitute for vegetables. I still know about frozen food and canned food.
"That's what you say, Alan. You often go out early in the morning, right? I saw it outside the window yesterday."
Column gives his forehair a sharp glance.
Alan, who was shouting low, was now pouring hot water into the ramen before chopsticks were placed directly on the tapa. They're going to eat Tapa's lid instead of a plate.
"It's okay because there's no one in the early morning. I knew I'd be dull if I didn't run in."
I wonder if the convenience store that opens early in the morning is the strongest one, telling Alan that I bought a cup of ramen on my way home. If you run in anyway, if you go to a cheap supermarket a little further away, you'll save money, and I suggest, "Whoa! A bright reaction came back.
"Well, I'll get the ingredients, Arthur. Can you make them again? I have the cost of materials."
"Good! I'll help you."
Stunning gift and take. I'm so jealous of Arthur's cooking.
Arthur, who is fully committed to Senpai Alan's proposal, even accepted the request to tell him if he wants to eat anything. When I'm done solemnizing, I'd like to see your partner again.
"Arthur, say no whenever you're burdened. Don't spoil Alan."
"It's okay. It's just two people. It doesn't really change three people."
"Wait, Arthur. What do you mean, two people?"
Stale frowned at Arthur, who refused to speak to Column.
As a result, Arthur's shoulders shook as easily as possible. It is possible that Arthur is just eating for two people, but apparently this reaction is different. At least the dormitory is not allowed to live in a single room.
Arthur distracts himself from the camera with his cramped face, and he doesn't respond with any excuse or search. However, I found that the dripping from the cheeks to the neck was more common than before.
After a while, Arthur squeezed out his whispering voice as if he had given up.
"... Senpai Harrison. Actually, I've been delivering dinner for a long time...."
I nodded loudly at Arthur's words with a strong face and a distracted gaze, as almost everyone was convinced, not just me.
"I know it's too much to take care of, but..." he explains.
According to the story, he had been in contact with Senpai Harrison on his phone since the issuance of the outing solemn order, but he came to the room worried that he would only return the word "no problem" if he was not feeling well or even eating. Then I guess he was almost on a hunger strike.
"Instead of food, he didn't leave any condiments or instant food in the room. Please go out and buy some rice. Clark is not allowed to go out in an unnecessary hurry. I don't even want to leave the room."
And Arthur, who explained that there was a need for food procurement and that it was urgent now, has regularly put the dishes together since then.
I've been eating together in the dorm until now, but I don't feel comfortable having Senpai Harrison buy a dorm lunch that is a little expensive right now. It's more economical for each other to get half the money I made, and Senior Harrison won't die. That's what Arthur said at the end of the day.
"... I'm sorry. That's why I see Senpai Harrison so often...."
"Well, you're not coming with me because you're going to see me again.
Senpai Alan lightly passes on to Arthur, who is depressed and self-conscious.
In fact, it's not that kind of problem, but I don't point out to Arthur who hangs with his long enclosed hair, neither Senpai Column nor Stale.
Instead, I want to work here if I think you helped prevent the dormitory students from starving to death by taking care of seniors at Knights College even though they were on leave. I see, for Arthur, who is used to cooking, there is too much to cook. He's a pretty good eater too, but he still had enough money for Senpai Alan.
"Well, I'm glad Senpai Alan will be shopping next time! It's hard to shop more often. I go out almost every day, so I can't talk about people."
Anyway, I'm going to throw in a conversation to clear the air.
And he said, "And Pride?" Arthur raised his face with a strange expression. While I regret that I accidentally confessed to changing the story, I affirm one thing. On one of the screens, Stale's mouth smiled a little. The smell and cheeks are loosened as Tiara remembers.
"Almost every day... it's really hard to shop for three people."
"No, well... the cooks are still doing their shopping about once a week..."
The words clouded Leon's mind.
Me and Tiara alone have their limits to the weight, but they have stale. With three hands, I was able to replenish enough of it once a week.... but there are some things that cannot be refilled together regardless of the weight.
Beginning with Leon and waiting for my words, it's a little more difficult to say in front of everyone. I consciously moved my mouth to wonder if a princess in one country could say such a thing.
"Look... lately, there's been talk of butter on TV...?
He raised his eyebrows and nodded to me as convinced by Column Senpai, Leon, and Cedric's news team.
Since the declaration of the state of emergency began, various products have become thin. There are various reasons for being resistant to viruses, preventing them, and increasing resale, but butter was also one of the thin products. So whenever I bought butter at the supermarket, I also weighed myself in bulk. I went to buy butter one by one every day. Because, without exception, I am one of the reasons for its thinness.....
"I enjoy making sweets.... follow"
After spending a lot of time at home, I got caught up in making sweets that I couldn't normally make.
I mean, there are tears at home now, and if I don't get this opportunity, I can't make them easily because I'm busy with school life.
I fell ill with the pleasure of making the sparkling confectionery I saw in the book. Even today's hot cake. I can't thank Tiara and Stale enough to help me make and consume.
If it hadn't been for this time of year, we could have split up with everyone on the other side of the screen, but unfortunately, it's difficult now.
On behalf of me, Tiara explained what kind of sweets she made one after the other. Everyone seems stunned by the wide range of raw cream and butter consumed, from handmade ice cream to cake and tart. Or do you just want to hear about Tiara's handmade sweets? I feel like I could hear someone's cockroaches and throats.
"... I hope the school starts again soon."
After Tiara gave her last name for the cake, Eric's soft voice echoed several consents.
I agree. At that time, I want to behave like everyone else with this forged confectionery making skill.
The online luncheon of the day ended safely, hoping that the situation would end soon.
