"Oh yeah, didn't onee-sama want me to make truffles again?"
Rei remembered that at eleven at night. After she slid into bed.
"Oh well, too late for that."
It wasn't like the Olympics or anything, but there should be significance in that she was able to hand them the presents. -Right, because Rei came that close to missing that entirely.
She felt a cold sweat just thinking about how she felt when she arrived at school. When she saw the students exchanging chocolates in front of Maria-sama. Yes, that was when she first realized she'd forgotten entirely.
She was so caught up in the treasure hunt preparations that she'd forgotten to prepare Valentine's chocolate.
Fortunately, she'd gone to school without Yos.h.i.+no today, because of the treasure hunt. After switching to her indoor shoes, she flew to the public telephone in front of the office and called her mother to buy flour and chocolate chips and other ingredients. But she just said it was because she didn't have enough for father and his students.
Her mother and Yos.h.i.+no's mother could almost read each other's minds, so she had to be careful with what she said. Yos.h.i.+no would find out in a heartbeat.
And when she got home, she baked the cakes. She didn't have time for intricate things, so she simply made plain pound cakes, sprinkled chocolate chips on them, and tossed them in the oven.
Three stacks each, two times. For a total of six stacks. Thank goodness they had a large oven.
But ma.s.s production of handmade cakes, aside from the amount of time it took, they really drained her energy. And she had to keep track of all the time and ingredients, so her mind and body both got worn out. Practice-swinging with an empty mind was so much easier.
When all was said and done, she'd managed to do a good job today.
"All's well that ends well."
She rolled over in bed and mumbled.
"Onee-sama probably won't remember what she said last year. And I can always make truffles for her next year."
Rei was just sleepy. Her body was begging for rest.
So the fact that Rosa Foetida, who was intending to continue studies in a different university, would be nowhere near Lillian Girls' Academy, "next year" didn't even begin to enter her mind.
By the way, she had no idea that her cakes for Yos.h.i.+no had been growing every year, too.
If one thing occupied her attention, everything else ended up being pushed out of her mind.
She seemed reliable, but she had a tendency to miss things.
Oh, sœur.
Both of them were on the mark with their a.s.sessment of Rei.
