Author's Reincarnation in a Fantasy Setting - Chapter 341: Sweet Tooth

After that, I went with Anya and a few staff members who showed me to a room. This was just a room that was temporarily allotted to me since I wanted to take a bath and stuff.

During the time it took to take me to the room, I noticed the infrastructure of this building. Surely, it was just like loli_pop had planned.

The hallways were plated with metal walls and flooring along with bright magic lights. This was a place entirely different from the rest of the world and didn’t fit into the medieval setting of the world.

“Phew, that felt good,” I mumbled to myself as I held my hair. I was done taking a bath and doing that after such a long time felt truly refreshing.

And of course, the bathroom here was modern too along with everything else. It hardly felt like I was in another world.

I took the towel and dried myself, wearing a pair of shorts and getting out afterward.

“Done?” Anya asked. She was sitting on the bed waiting for me.

“Yeah,” I replied while I took the clothes given to me by the nurse and wore them. It was a loose pair of a shirt and trousers.

Also, I was the one who’d told her to wait for me so that I could go to the cafeteria later with her but I never thought she’d wait here. Not like I had a problem with it though.

“Should we go?” I asked when I was done combing my hair and applying some perfume.

“Sure,” she replied and stood up. During the time we were in the room she was speaking less than usual. I didn’t know why was that but a lot of things have been happening, her mind was probably occupied with something else. With that reasoning, I didn’t ask either.

Although if it had been because of a reason as cliché as getting embarrassed since I was changing in front of her, I would’ve been fairly disappointed. I was her brother after all.

After that I went with her toward the cafeteria since, of course, I was hungry. I hadn’t been paying attention to this fact for quite a while but now that I was in a safe environment, I couldn’t help but notice just how hungry I was.

We went through a couple of hallways and then came out into what seemed like the cafeteria of this academy building. Although I didn’t know if calling it a cafeteria was even right or not.

I mean, if going purely by size it was as big as the lobby of a hotel. The food stalls were lined up on the sidelines while the seats and tables were placed at the center.

“This is the café,” Anya said as we stopped in our tracks.

“Are the classes not going on?” I asked when I saw that there were still a good number of students present in the cafeteria.

“No, they are. But the classes in this academy have a different schedule than our previous academy. Some classes are running while some are off. That way classes are going on most of the time,” she replied.

“Ah so it’s like that,” I replied.

“What about the money?” I asked as we walked toward the food stalls.

“The students here aren’t charged anything, you can eat whatever you want and however you want,” she said.

“But I’m not sure if I’m a student or not,” I said. “But then again, if they don’t notice it I won’t be the one to remind them.”

Actually, it was true. I really didn’t know if I was an official student at this academy or not. Technically all the students from the Zaforths magic academy who had managed to survive were enrolled here, but I was not sure.

However, if they didn’t know whether I was a student or not then I was going to use that fact to my complete advantage.

And following just that I went to the food stalls and picked up some dishes for myself.

I took ten donuts, two pancakes, an apple pie, a few tiramisus, one banana split, three lava cakes, two strawberry shortcakes, one chocolate cake, and a large cup of cappuccin had to take Anya’s help to bring all of this stuff to a table, but in the end, I managed somehow. Once everything was transported to the table I sat there with a fork in my hand, ready to dig in.

“Aren’t you going to eat?” I asked.

“I just ate a while ago, I’ll only have some tea,” she said pointing toward the cup of tea.

‘Ehh? So my sister is on the tea team? How disgraceful,’ I thought to myself while taking a sip of my coffee.

When I was done with a few sips I moved toward the main course. I started with the tiramisu, then a banana split, then one shortcake, then a few sips of coffee, and the apple pie. I took a breather afterward and then began with the chocolate cake, then a lava cake, the remaining tiramisu and banana split, then another shortcake.

‘Fucking hell these are delicious!’ I exclaimed inwardly. All the dishes here were a thousand times better than anything I’d eaten before.

A weird sort of warmth spread throughout my body as I continued to eat these dishes.

[Oh no? What do I see here?]

‘Hmm? What is it?’

[You are blushing, aren’t you?]

‘What the hell are you talking about? Me blushing is the last thing you’d see before you die. No, actually you won’t see it at all.’ .

[Hehe~ But I just saw it!]

‘Don’t lie, it’s no use.’

[I’m not lying! Why would I lie? I really saw you blushing. It was just for a moment when you were engrossed in eating. Only for a second, it appeared on your face. Normally people wouldn’t have been able to see it but I did, since I’m always watching you!]

‘You sure it wasn’t just your imagination? You are low on mana, you sure that you aren’t hallucinating or something?’

[How rude! I’m sure of what I saw. And I expect to see you blushing more. You looked adorable~!]

‘Agh shut up now.’

[Still, putting that aside. You sure have a sweet tooth, don’t you?]

I was going to deny that too, although I couldn’t when I looked at the table in front of me.
