Chapter 2111: The Moon Banquet Festival 2

As a student of the Tootsuki, Alice also needed to join the Moon Banquet Festival, but unlike Erina, who chose the Uptown Area, she would open her booth in the Main Street Area.

There are 120 stalls across the Academy each year. The area designed for the festival is divided into three locations where students can set up their stands based on the social class level of the dishes they are selling.

The Main Street Area is located at the front of the Academy. Dishes in this area are standard festival foods and quick meals to eat while walking. The typical credit range of customers in this area ranges from around ‎500 yen to 1000 yen. In addition, the number of booths in this area is 60 booths. This area has the highest number of customers.

The Central Area is located in the center of the Academy, where the school's culinary labs are located. This area specializes in restaurant-level dishes that feature specialized ingredients and tools. The typical credit range of customers in this area ranges from around ‎1000 yen to 5000 yen. In addition, the number of booths in this area is 40 booths.

The Uptown Area is a highly exclusive area located at the top of the Academy. Dishes here are high-class luxury-style cuisine. The typical credit range of customers in this area ranges from ‎5000 yen and up. In addition, the number of booths in this area is 20 booths. Only the highest paying guests go to this area, and most people who run stand up here are extremely renowned, even outside of the Academy. As such, members of the Elite Ten Council generally set up their booths in this area.

As the champion of the Tootsuki Autumn Election, it wouldn't be weird for Alice to open her booth in the Uptown Area. Unfortunately, she was too late to set up her booth since she was annoyed by Yukihira, who suddenly caught everyone's attention by challenging Terunori Kuga, who was part of the Elite Ten Council.

Alice had always loved to be at the center of attention, or rather, it might be because she had always lost to Erina that she didn't want to lose to Erina, which was why she wanted to be the best among the 1st year, becoming the talk of everyone, but she didn't expect that someone that she had beaten on the Autumn Election would suddenly rise into the star and brought all the media on the Tootsuki to him directly which made him so annoyed!

Still, Alice also didn't really think too much and talked about something else, such as whether they would go somewhere after the festival or whether they should have a date in Danish to visit her father and mother.

Listening to Alice's talk that jumped from one to another, Haru was really speechless, but at the same time, he felt that Yukihira's protagonist halo was really strong.

Even though Yukihira might have lost against Alice in the Autumn Election, it didn't mean that his protagonist halo was diminished. On the other hand, it became stronger during the Moon Banquet Festival since he lacked an appearance during the previous arc.

However, it was normal since the media had always sought entertainment and the news of Yukihira deciding to challenge Terunori Kuga from the Elite Ten Members became hot news directly that bombarded the entire school.

Yukihira, even though he had lost against Nakiri, had never been underestimated by everyone in this school. After all, he could enter the Autumn Election, so without a doubt. He was one of the strongest students in the first grade.

Haru didn't think too much about Yukihira since he knew that Yukihira could deal with his own problem somehow. However, he could see Kurokiba's gaze on him, pleading for his help. "So, Alice, what about you?"

"Well, at first, I didn't plan to join, but this time, I'm going to open a booth together with the Shiomi seminar," Alice said generously, as if the fact she opened the booth meant that she would bring salvation to humanity.

"Huh? Then you, Kurokiba, and Hayama are going to open a booth together?" Haru was surprised.

"Yes." Alice seemed to be proud that she could get 2nd place and 3rd place in the Autumn Election as her goons. "What do you think?"

"Well, if you're happy, then I'm not going to say much, but which area are you going to open your booth?"

With how luxurious Alice's members were, Haru didn't think that it was weird if she decided to open her booth in the Uptown Area.

"We will be open in the Main Street Area," Alice said without hesitation.

"...Really?" Haru was dumbfounded.

"Um." Alice nodded then asked, "What's wrong?"

Haru then looked at Kurokiba, who also gave him a tired sigh. Still, when he looked at Alice's eyes, he noticed her pride and confidence, so he knew that he shouldn't say something and decided to believe in her. He then patted her back gently and said, "I'll go to your booth when the festival starts."

"Of course!" Alice smiled brightly then kissed Haru's cheek. "I'll give you a big portion later." She then moved closer and whispered. "Should I give you a bonus too?" She felt happy that Haru didn't question her ability. Instead, he decided to believe in her since she knew that even though there might be a problem during the festival, she knew that she would be alright since she was confident she could sell a lot of food during the festival!

"Oh? What kind of bonus?" Haru asked with interest.

Alice wanted to say something, but...

"Cough! Cough! Alice, can you go now? I need Haru's help right now," Erina said as she crossed her arms, staring at Alice in a dangerous light.

Alice and Haru forgot that there were a lot of people around them, and they didn't flirt in a private place. Instead, they flirted in Erina's booth, which made Erina furious.

Alice could only laugh sheepishly while hugging Erina, which caused Erina to be more furious.

Haru also smiled, but then he noticed his smartphone vibrated, not because of the quests, but because all the members of the Group Chat were talking to each other regarding the dangers that three members of the Group Chat encountered almost at the same time.

Haru knew that it had been a while since he had joined the Group Chat, so he didn't feel surprised when some of the members of the Group Chat had reached the climax of their stories, but he didn't expect that three members of the Group Chat would meet the climax of their stories almost at the same time.

"So, what should we do?"
