As soon as I said that, June just looked at incredulously before she had a mont of realization. It was one thing to have a very low chance of success and it was another if she just went for it. Besides, it's not like she'd get stabbed in the leg just for asking permission, and the worst they could say was no.
"I… Huh. I-I can just ask, right?"
"Yep."
"Huh."
"So…"
"Kinda hungry though… Wanna co to the cafeteria?"
"Sure, a few of my guys would probably be there anyway."
"Few of your guys?"
"It's not like Kaley and I were the only ones who got here. You've seen the old man with your parents, right? He's with too."
"Uh… Makes sense, I guess. C'mon, I wanna get so extra breadsticks!"
"Alright, alright— Don't pull!"
With that said, the two of us made our way to the cafeteria which was located on the first floor at the right wing, and obviously enough, everyone else was present except for Oscar. It seed like their separate eting wasn't over but in regards to people gelling together, my trainees/cadets were bonding well with the kids their age over on their separate table.
But funnily enough, both tables called for us and as I was inclined to sit with Tatiana and the rest, June wanted to sit with her younger brother and sister.
"Ah—"
"Umm—"
I'd definitely ruffle so feathers—though not as serious as I put it—but since the tables they were on was just close to each other and we have plenty of fucking space, I hold onto June's shoulder for the mont as I addressed everyone:
"C'mon, you fucks. Is this young VS old? I'm in between! rge those tables for fuck's sake!"
Saying that, all they'd need to do is stand up for a bit and do a little push so they did just that and looked back at . However, much to their shock, I just gave them an approving smile before I took June with to the kitchen.
"W-Where are we going?!"
"If you're that hungry, you should help the cooks— Is this the right way?"
"Y-Yeah, but I don't know how to cook!"
"Then you'll learn fucking now! Oh! They are making so breadsticks— Anyone need any help?!"
At that point, Kaley and Eden who were now wearing frilly aprons turned around and dragged us into the depths of hell—just kidding, it was just pretty hot inside while wearing protective gear—and made take over the frying station.
To my delight, we were frying different kinds of vegetables dipped in so light batter so I just put several at once and made June take care of flipping them over because the leafy vegetables would always float.
"What?! Why—"
"Just flip them over if they change color! It's like a rhythm ga, no?"
"W-Which color?!"
"Very light golden brown!"
"Haah?!" Explore more stories with m,v l'e-
"HmM~ Around #D3B683!"
"Oh! I got it!"
Kaley and Eden were shocked to fuck, "HOW?!"
I chuckled, "Trade secret! It's level two now, June! So vegetables fry faster than others! Watch out for them!"
"Wha— There is! There's— Oh god, there's another one too!"
"Great job! Great job! Focus! Here's another batch!"
"AHHH~! I can't watch over them all at once!"
"Hah! It's ti for a switch-up! I'll take care of the frying but make so more of the batter! The recipe's taped on the wall!"
"Wha— This is too much information at once! What the fuck?! You're literally doing everything yourself! You don't even need !"
"Yeah, I do! Chop so more vegetables! I can do more batches!"
"W-W-What am I even doing— I-I'm overloading! I'm literally running out of RAM!"
"This is a test, June! Do fucking well and I'll give you a recomndation!"
"What?! For real?!"
"Of course!"
"THEN IT'S FUCKING ON!"
As soon as she rolled her sleeves and put her ga face on, Eden simply stopped talking and just moved to wherever I told her to move. She'd respond with simple nods or would just get right on it and her way of removing speech freed up so space in her RAM, and she was able to keep up with for a good 30 minutes before she felt the strain.
I was pleasantly surprised that she was able to last that long but since we may have made more fried vegetables than necessary, I took it as a necessary stopping point so she could cool down while I could help with the nice sauce Kaley and Eden were making for fresh eggrolls that were saved as is.
We usually call it "Lumpian Sariwa" in our language and it was basically eggrolls with vegetable filling topped by a sweet/savory sauce with crushed peanuts.
And yeah, after a short bit, we began serving the ones in the cafeteria while the rest of the staff packed lunches for the ones in the checkpoints, in their separate rooms, or for eating later.
However, the funny thing was Quinn never looked so defeated seeing only vegetables for lunch but she cried tears of joy when Tatiana pulled out her reserve of beef jerky and bacon. They just ate it with the al we prepared for them but on the other hand, my new apprentice, June, never looked so out of place because she was smack dab in the middle of my main group.
I did introduce her, albeit briefly, but my group could be a little intense, especially when it cos to lunchti.
"You okay, June?" Eden who already blended in nudged her younger sister.
"I-I'm alright, thanks for asking…"
Quinn leaned back and turned to , "Fresh at?"
I rolled my eyes, "Our exchange students and no, pace yourself."
"Eh, we'll see about that~"
Eden asked, "See about what?"
Kaley cut in, "That's… That's sothing umm… We shouldn't talk about while eating… And with other people… Right, Quinn?"
Quinn lightly chuckled, "Sure~ Is it just or does this thingamajig taste like at?! Like what the fuck?!"
Eden smiled brightly, "Right?! It depends on the seasonings but it's jackfruit that hadn't ripened yet!"
"Oh? Looks like at too with all these fibers and shit…"
"Mm-hmm! They're what we have closest to chickens— We do have them but we need eggs more."
I chid in, "Well, as we've talked about earlier, we'll solve that little problem of yours with a small top-up. You'll taste different things when you get to my place so there's that."
June then turned to Eden, "Right… Umm… Can I also co?"
"Hmm? You want to? Of course! I an, you should still ask Mom and Dad but I'm sure they'll say yes."
"Really?"
I chuckled from the side, "I told ya."
