Chop! Chop. The rice moved around my mouth, tickling my taste buds as I continued to taste Ria’s latest bento. “This one gets 10 billion points,” I announced and Ria literally jumped for joy. “Though presentation wise, it’s a 5.I love what you did with the rice however.”

“Thanks,” Ria blushed. “I used some of broth typically found in the ramen, to steam the rice. It helped better infuse the flavour. The meet I used ground ham to make a pattie..”

I think I tuned out as I continued to eat. She definitely used her chemistry understanding to create this and that gets me excited. Plus, it was delicious.  “Excuse me,” I placed the bento down, the student council president entering the lab. “Oh, just the two of you this lunch?”

Ria nodded. “Yes, the other members are taking part in lunch time study classes,” Ria explained. “How can we help you miss President?”

The president stopped, sniffing at the air. My lunch! “Oh wow, that smells good,” She praised ogling over it. “Did you make this Ria?” I watched as the president took a pair of clean chopsticks from her bag and took a bite of the meat. “Oh wow, Ria this is awesome”

MY LUNCH! “Hey, what are you doing here?” I tried to get her attention as she continued to eat my lunch.  “And stop eating my lunch!”

Embarrassed the president stood tall and took a step back from the bench.  “Apologises, gluttony got the better of me,” She laughed nervously. “But I’m here to ask what the science club will be contributing to the school fayre this year?”

“We never par-take,” I replied bluntly.

“How does an extra 10% increase of budget sound?” The president had an evil gleam in her eye.

I whipped my head around to Ria, “So what shall we do?”

She sighed, putting a finger to her chin. “I’m not sure, I've never been a part of a school fare before.”

Oh yeah, England. I’d nearly forgotten, it feels as if Ria has been here all along. Just then, the president snapped her fingers. “Ohm, idea,” She giggled. Such a quick transition from evil to charming. “How about you put on the café this year? We haven't got one yet and with Ria’s bento I'm sure you’d be super popular.”

“You still making those sweets using liquid nitrogen?” Ria nodded. “Excellent, you can show the other club members how to make them. Miss president, we’ll do the café this year. On the condition of 15%”

I heard Ria sigh again.  “I think I can make that happen,” The president nodded and bid us a farewell.

“Is it really fair to ask for such a bigger budget just for particplating?" Ria asked curiously, reaching into her bag and pulling out a couple of sandwiches.  She handed me a sandwich before she got rid of the bento. “Though, maybe it is a fair trade, not like I understand these things anyway.”

“Ah, it’s fine,” I assured. “I’m excited actually. We have an excuse to use liquid nitrogen in the lab. Kukuku.”

“Mad scientist Senku is back.”
