Food Stall (6)

"You have to be kidding me!" They found themselves covered inside the failed batter, making their clothes all sticky.

"You better come out!" A member pounded on the door.

While I had already put a filter to get rid of the smell in our club room, it wasn't the same for the rest of the building. Since the trash bags were open outside our door from their kick, the smell got worse as it intensified. Seeing through the camera that we had installed on the door, I gasped when I discovered the entire floor was covered in the failed batter. There was an entire landfill of garbage bags rolling to different parts of the floor.

"I'm calling the people from the mana research club!" One of them stomped up the stairs.

All of us stiffened, knowing we may become a goner once they discovered that the smell was coming from us. Trying to hide the evidence by secretly transferring some of the failed batter we didn't put into the trash can from the opened windows into the room beside us, we cleaned the room. The president was great in acting ignorant ever since the last incident together. Plus, the people couldn't approach Oili disrespectfully since he came from a powerful family.

While transferring the batter, I winced when I accidentally dropped it on someone on the ground again. Quickly transferring the rest, I decided to duck down while doing the spell. With Sienna also helping while panicking, the number of victims increased. It happened to be another day where the dance club had another competition after dropping out of the other one. Ruining their makeup and outfits once again, we sighed in relief when we had transferred everything before they came marching back up to our room.

"Is it you this time?" Yulee screamed at the members from the club room beside us.

"It's this club again!" The members felt falsely accused.

"Try opening the door to their room," Oili shouted, pushing the blame to them.

Since the members in the room beside us thought they had nothing to hide, they proudly opened their club room. I watched Yulee's face scrunch in anger as she discovered the rest of the batter inside their room. Meanwhile the two club members froze, shocked how the batter ended up in their room while they were gone. Finding more victims joining Yulee, almost slipping on the ground from the batter, they yelled that they would report this to the school.

"Our competition!" Yulee gritted her teeth.

"The water must have come from this room last time!" The mana research club members felt sorry towards the music club that didn't exist anymore.

"I can't believe you destroyed the painting we got from the art club!" A member from the decorating club yelled.

"It's from the room beside us!" One of them refuted.

"Why don't you try opening their door?" A member knocked on our door.

"Is there anything you need from us?" Our president opened the door while we hid behind the shelves.

All the victims found this room oddly sparkling clean, finding no evidence of us cooking half an hour ago. Apologizing for disturbing us, they continued to yell at the club members beside our room. I high fived my friends, finding ourselves narrowly able to escape from the blame. We will continue making the rest of the batches of takoyaki tomorrow. Tiptoeing out of our room while everyone else was focused on yelling at the people in the room beside us, we sprinted once we closed the door.

Far away from the club building and near the café, Delia began to spray some perfume on us to get rid of the batter smell. Even Oili and our president followed us after locking the door behind them. Waving them farewell before they headed to run to the high school section of the campus, we all entered the café. We had a new sense of appreciation for the delicious cakes that we had taken for granted.

"It was a close call," Sienna groaned.

"Where should we clean the dirty plates and bowls next time?" I wondered since I didn't remember cleaning the blenders yet.

"There's a portable dishwasher from the second district, I already cleaned them, afraid they would check," Cillian sighed.

"Then let's continue tomorrow," I took a bite of my cake to comfort myself.

This was how we managed to complete making all the food we were going to sell to the rest of the students. The design club managed to deliver us the disposable packages we placed each of the food inside. Sadly, they looked like they were never going to collaborate with another club again. We only stopped making more food once the food and agriculture research club ran out of money to supply more ingredients.

"Where should we sell them?" I wondered since Luke couldn't find out.

"One of us will need to keep an eye on him or we need to take turns," Delia pondered on our next moves.

"I think we should sell them for a week. Since there's around seven of us, we can each take one day in the week," Cillian suggested.

Everyone nodded, finding it fair since none of us wanted to cover for each other. Since Sienna and Henry had already experienced trying to cover for me during social week, they knew how hard it would be. This was why I was taking the first day to make it easier on the rest of them.
