Price of being too popular

As soon as Sawano finished speaking, they all turned around to look behind them. There, other college students popped out from somewhere.

Most of them are carrying folded long tables and stools to be set up in this wide, open clearing.

We parted in the middle to give way and as expected, they started putting those down – without setting them up. They’re definitely going to let us do it.

Not long after that, a few more college students appeared carrying small, portable stoves, cooking utensils, dishes, bowls, spoons, and chopsticks.

And obviously, there’s another group bringing in the food supplies. Meat, vegetables, trays of eggs, sacks of rice, and other condiments to be used in cooking are dropped in front of us.

Even without explanation, everyone was already expecting what they would say next.

“To commemorate this day and before we separate you from each other, you boys and girls are going to cook breakfast for yourselves.”
