The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL]-Chapter 379: Festivities

Noah Emory did not expect this kind of turnout or gathering.

Frankly, he and Theo worried about what to wear and about etiquette, which they knew Ada and Princess Kira wouldn’t have issues with. But as commoners, they couldn’t help but worry, as this would be their first party at the invitation of actual elite nobles.

But what was this? fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

The cadet blinked around as he looked at the insanely festive atmosphere, where people were too relaxed to be mistaken for uptight people.

Though maybe that was an overstatement, as a particular area was rife with people standing at attention while waiting for those two huge mechas to direct them towards glory.

Now, Noah knew he should really stop being surprised, but it was one thing to take commands from a mecha, and another thing to see that the supposed pilots and owners were out there sitting at a huge table while their mechas did their OWN thing.

Yes, those were definitely not the sounds of Luca or Xavier’s voice, so just what were they?

However, he had no time to dwell on those questions because Jax suddenly went up to them to invite them over after handing them their very own grilling supplies.

Beside him, Princess Kira gasped at the items because she didn’t think they’d all be given their own. But now she understood why the people around those mechas didn’t thin out!

It was because they were being given the chance to cook and eat their food whenever they felt like it.

"Ada! You must go there and learn how to do this! We must not fail!" said the Princess, who took stock of everything on her plate.

Now, Theo was looking at his and had to ask Jax about anything else they ought to know, which got the redhead grinning.

"Theo, see that side? So you’ve got a few items on your plate that don’t need grilling, like the grilled fish that was prepared earlier."

"But the stars of the show need to pass through that side to shine."

"However, it would take a while, so I suggest you remember exactly where you placed your food on the grill while you munch on the grilled vegetables!"

"Though there’s also a fresh salad section if you want that or fruits!"

Jax knew there were really so many things to talk about, but if he went into detail about the best way to get the perfect grill marks, then the poor guy won’t be able to eat anything!

But before he left them to check out the place, he reminded them to look for Luca later, as he had a few things he wanted to give them and, well, warn them about.

"..."

The cadet then disappeared after a signal from D-29, who gave Jax a bit of special treatment as he didn’t have to stand with everyone else to know if his food was ready. And although it came with a promise of greater viewing technology from his family, the redhead thought it was all worth it. (?!)

And it was, because today was such a good day to celebrate, as the list kept on getting longer.

For one, when they finished making the boxed lunches for the guards on duty, a few of them nearly cried after learning that they’d basically be able to eat at their own convenience, and as a party favor, they’d be able to take home the lunch box provided they returned the skewers.

Second, despite the tears of the envious, the people of House Kyros who managed to attend the actual celebration were clearly in agreement in glorifying their Lords.

Because they soon realized why the guards outside needed such compensation.

The area by the river suddenly had chairs and tables, and by the time they got there, it was already saturated by the smell of various food.

In fact, the smell had been so strong that the people had to look for something to munch on while waiting, or they’d likely eat their own arms off.

But the wait wasn’t that long, especially when many of them were busy copying the homework of those next to them.

After all, when their Young Lord said that they could try to experiment on their seasoning, a few people got so nervous that they had to go around checking the faces of those people who had already cooked theirs.

However, then came the genius that was their Lord, who decided to try something new this time around.

Luca had actually been eating bits here and there and was curious about how to further improve the food.

He was aware that they only had limited things right now, but surely there had to be something right?

Something that he could particularly gift to his mother for today’s event.

Now, Xavier, standing beside him, noticed how the little chipmunk kept shifting around and finally asked if there was a problem.

"I’m fine, but do you think you could cover for me as I go to the kitchen?"

"To the kitchen, why, what’s wrong?"

"I just thought of trying something out with the lobster, but I’ll have to clean a few more so I can try it," whispered the little cook to the leaning giant.

"Do you just need them cleaned? And which ones?"

Luca thought about it and figured it would be best to use that one, "I’m going to clean the spiny ones."

"Then you just stay here, I’ll do it for you."

The little chipmunk suddenly leaned back in surprise. "No, no! I’ll do it, you shouldn’t have to work anymore!"

"It won’t be working, and it wouldn’t take long, or do you think I’m too slow?" Xavier teased as he tried looking melancholic.

"No! Of course not! But you already helped out a lot earlier." He shook his hands at him.

"This much wouldn’t be difficult at all. Besides, if you suddenly disappear from here, your parents would worry, and they might suddenly stop the festivities. We wouldn’t want that, would we?"

And that was a real possibility given how much those two would worry about Luca, which was understandable.

The argument was valid and concerning, as Luca thought more and more about it. In the end, he had to agree that it would be best if Xavier did it instead.

But he didn’t expect that the prince would really return so soon. Well, of course, he wouldn’t take that long, for it was not beneath him to use his abilities to clean several lobsters for his wife.

It was just that maybe he should’ve cleaned a few more?
