-185- You're only allowed to look at me!

"I want this, um, and also this."

Orianna and Lorona stood in front of the food counter, looking at rows of food, feeling their hunger grow.

Mainly because. There are so many varieties of food!

"Excuse me, what is this?"

Orianna pointed to a bunch of brownish-red things with skin and asked.

Carrying a large spoon and wearing a mask, the woman replied, "This is lamb."

"Lamb?!"

Orianna exclaimed, then immediately asked, "How much is this?"

"Twelve copper coins."

A palm-sized wheat bread is three copper coins, a blueberry bread is ten copper coins, and an egg is four copper coins. A bottle of milk is also four copper coins.

In comparison, twelve copper coins can buy a wheat bread, a bottle of milk, and an egg.

But..This is lamb!

Orianna can only have lamb during Progress Day.

After all, lamb is very expensive, especially the kind with skin and bones.

Although not a greedy girl, at this moment, Orianna shook her head and quickly said, "Please give me this!"

"Your bowl."

The woman, who had gradually become familiar with the business, shook the spoon and calmly said to the excited Orianna.

Orianna quickly handed over her plate, then watched as the woman scooped a large spoonful of meat for her.

There were at least seven pieces!

"Di!"

Placing the student card on the glass again, after the instrument inside made a sound, Orianna also saw how much money she spent for lunch.

Gold: 0

Silver: 0

Copper coins: 90

In Orianna's plate, there was lamb, a warm wheat bread, some vegetables, a few red berries, and a bottle of sweet juice.

And all of that. She only spent 27 copper coins!

This is something Orianna wouldn't have dared to imagine outside.

With Lorana happily finding a seat, Orianna clasped her hands together, sincerely feeling happy.

Today, she can go through the day without her father Corin's company.

She doesn't have to worry about doing something to anger Corin.

When she was freely walking on campus, Orianna freely enjoys the air and environment of Twin Cities University.

And now, during lunch, she can even have lamb!

There's also a bottle of juice that looks delicious, although she doesn't know the flavor.

"Wow!!!" 

Lorana's plate also has lamb. Taking a bite, Lorana holds her cheek with her hand, revealing a happy expression.

"This is amazing!"

Lorana exclaimed.

Orianna also picked up a piece of lamb. After putting a large piece of lamb into her mouth, Orianna showed the same expression as Lorana.

"I really love this place."

In the affluent area, Orianna thinks that a meal like this would cost at least several silver coins, but now, she only spent twenty-seven copper coins, less than half a silver coin, to enjoy treatment similar to nobility.

The sense of happiness comes from the heart.

Orianna once again felt lucky.

She is lucky that she sneaked out and took the exam for Twin Cities University; otherwise, she might still be at home listening to Corin's nagging.

Being controlled by her father, she wouldn't have been able to come here.

Thinking about this, Orianna quickly asked Lorona, "Can we still come to the cafeteria for dinner?"

Lorona, chewing on lamb, already having eaten three pieces, nodded while eating and said, "I think so. I saw in the campus manual that the cafeteria is open from 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m."

"10:30 p.m.? Will it still be open that late?"

Orianna widened her beautiful big eyes, her slightly rounded face showing astonishment.

"Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and there's also one called supper."

Lorona improvised, then told Orianna, "It seems to be for the teachers who are still doing experiments at night in the school. There was no such place at Piltover University. Teachers often went hungry during experiments. Supper is prepared for those planning to do experiments at night."

Orianna nodded and asked, "Got it, but what is supper?"

"It seems to be a term invented by Twin Cities University." Lorona also didn't know what supper is, but just by looking at the description, she felt it would be interesting.

Recalling the cafeteria section mentioned in the manual, Lorona said to Orianna, "The cafeteria sells different foods at different times. In the morning, it's egg bread, milk, and fruit. For lunch, it's meat, bread and vegetables. Dinner should be the same as lunch, but with one or two additional dishes. Then, supper is some light food."

Orianna: "Hmm, then I'll come for dinner tonight too."

Smiling at Lorana, Orianna proudly said, "I have quite a bit of pocket money. Tomorrow, I'll recharge another ten silver coins."

Even if she eats like this every meal, she'll spend at most one silver coin a day.

But selling one doll could earn her ten silver coins if she's lucky.

Although creating a finely crafted clockwork doll that can move on its own takes Orianna a week or even longer, it allows her to be self-sufficient.

Adventure or going out? Eating is more important!

"At night? Orianna, we don't have classes today. After the opening ceremony, we can go home. Tomorrow is the official start of classes. So, aren't you planning to go home in the afternoon?" Lorona asked.

"I won't go back." Orianna immediately shook her head. "I want to wander around the school in the afternoon."

"Then I'll join you. I don't plan to go back so early either."

The two girls glanced at each other, their eyes forming crescent moons as they both smiled.

At that moment, the cafeteria suddenly became noisy.

Orianna and Lorana quickly looked toward the source of the noise.

Then, they saw a group of people entering.

"It's Councilor Talis!"

Lorana exclaimed and then saw Zevi, who had grown her hair and was wearing a jacket. "And, our dean too, Orianna."

Orianna and Lorana are students of the Department of Engineering, directly under Zevi.

But unlike Lorana, who looks at both Jayce and Zevi, Orianna's eyes are fixed on Mr. Linwin, who is sitting on a wheelchair, talking and laughing with two person.

Because Mr. Linwin's words at the morning opening ceremony inspired Orianna.

Perhaps more people liked Professor Heimerdinger's words, believing that holding onto everything from yesterday would make tomorrow worse. So, one must bid farewell to yesterday and move forward toward tomorrow.

But Orianna prefers Mr. Linwin's words. It is precisely because of holding onto everything from the past that has shaped who she is today.

So, she has been watching Mr. Linwin.

Mr. Linwin also noticed Orianna's gaze.

This girl with beautiful golden hair, a slightly round face, and a pair of beautiful big eyes, Mr. Linwin recognized her.

It's Orianna.

But just as he was about to greet her, the sound of grinding teeth reached Linwin's ears.

Bending down, he looked at Powder, who had lowered her head and was staring at him. Two long braids hung in Linwin's hands, and Powder reached out to cup Linwin's face with her hands.

With an annoyed look, she said, "You're not allowed to look at other women."

"You're only allowed to look at me!"

Linwin: "..."

Then he was about to shake his face to break free.

It must be admitted that this action, this kind of eye contact, made Linwin a little embarrassed just now.

But before Linwin could break free from Powder's hands, Powder released them herself.

With a big stumble, Powder stood firm and looked at Kai'Sa, who had just walked in front of her. 

Angrily gritting her teeth, Powder said, "Hey!"

"Kai'Sa, what were you doing just now, bumping into me?"

Kai'Sa turned her head back, her pretty face showing innocence.

"Sorry, I didn't see you. I didn't mean to bump into you."

Mr. Linwin: "..."

Mr. Linwin: "?"

Powder was on his left side, and Kai'Sa had just been on his right side.

Then the person on the right bumped into the person on the left and claimed it wasn't intentional?

No, Kai'Sa, you did it on purpose!

And Kai'Sa, how come you're like this!

This is not you!

I can't believe you're really like this, Kai'Sa!
