K1 is off to her same shit again it seems like. -KAZU2

~·~·~·~

Today was the day. The day of the festival. And of course, everyone in your RS is prepared. Well, you do this every year so they're pretty much used to it. But there are some who still get nervous at the start of it.

You and your RS members made your way to the place where they held the entrance ceremonies. On the way, you've met with an unusual group of people. The elite ten. Of course, they would be the first person you'd see.

"(Y/N)!!" Terunori cheered as he saw you, running over to you and giving you a hug. Momo then ran up to you, smacking Teru away with her stuffed animal. "Hey!"

"Momo's turn." She said, also giving you a hug. But of course, you and her have a big height difference so her head reached up to your stomach. "This isn't working."

"Ahaha! That's because you're smaller, Momo!" Kobayashi laughed as you pried off the smaller third year. "Anyway! I'm gonna drop by your booth later or maybe tomorrow! So expect to see me later!"

"So you're not going to be setting up a booth?" You asked, making your way over to Teru, linking your arm with his. "Such a shame, I wanted to try your cooking this year around, as I wasn't able to attend last year due to..." You paused, turning to the timid first seat. "Circumstances..."

"I-I'm sorry..." The first seat muttered nervously. "I'm sorry.... W-w-why don't you c-come and stop by...?" He chuckled, taking something out of his pocket and handing it to you. "I heard from your grandfather that you're really talented... s-so... have this... a sign of friendship..?"

"..." You took a deep breath before calmly returning the invitation to him, making him wonder why you refused. "You know, Tsukasa-senpai, I feel like I'm bullying you and I feel really bad."

The three seat members stifled a laugh at your comment that made the white haired prince even more nervous and stutter as he apologized to you.

"I-It's fine..." You stuttered, feeling hella awkward and weird seeing the first seat like this. "Just... just don't talk to me before I say something I might regret. And also, my grandfather had already invited me to eat at a later date."

Terunori wanted to holler like a hyena, but he didn't want to be the first one to laugh. 'Why do you have such an honest mouth, (Y/N)!?' He asked himself, holding in his grin.

You really couldn't believe that this was the first seat. But his title isn't for nothing. He really is the number one student in Totsuki.

"Let's just get going..." You muttered and everyone nodded and now the five of you are on your way. On the way, another familiar face caught your attention. "My, my, Teru, there's your rival."

"Hm... looks like it." He replied with a smirk. He turned to Yukihira and gave him a smirk as you all passed by. "Well, he's nothing compared to me, is he now..."

"You never know." You replied with a smirk. "You never know."

"Hey..."

"Hey, I'm just being realistic." You said with a shrug, flickering his forehead lightly. "And don't worry, I'm cheering for you. This is the first time I'm gonna be showing favoritism, so be grateful."

"Aww, I'm honored~" He said with his usual grin. "

And so, as you five stopped when you were close enough in the stage and waited or the principal to finish his speech and the explaining of how the event functioned for the new students.

And came the song.

You did not sing that thing.

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

"Alright, is everyone ready?" You asked, adjusting your earpiece and your uniform. You stood in front of your 20+ members, they were the ones who are currently on duty, as they stood proudly and nervously.

"Yes, empress!" They all exclaimed.

"That's good then." You replied, looking over your clipboard where everyone's schedules and the menu. "We have until later tonight for the normal guest and then we'll have the special guest. Those who are on the morning schedule, don't slack off; it's the busiest time. Got it?"

"Yes!" They said once again.

"Now then, let the festival, benign!" You exclaimed with a smirk. Everyone all replied with their usual phrase and they all ran off to their places.

There were a total of five people on the bread production. Cakes and other sweets were also being supervised by five members. Five were on cleaning duty and the rest were on service duty.

You, Mitsue and Hano were in charge of candy sculpting to which you all alternate every thirty minutes. Along with the seasonal wagashi.

Your schedule... was packed.

You were in charge of various shops, of course that pompadour ass was helping you. You also needed to finish up delivering the ingredients to other shops, they were a lot and they all asked for specific dates and times. You really didn't know why though, it would've been easier to send them out early in the morning.

You also had to work like everyone else. From the candy booth, to the season wagashi, to the kitchen, and even cleaning.

You were quite used to it, really. You've been doing this for years. Nothing ever goes wrong, and if there was, just like two years ago with the clumsy junior student, you just take care of it yourself.

"Yes?" You asked, listening to your RS members who were in the farms. "Ah, that. Yes. Send them out to them." You listened to their reply as you watched the service team do their job. "What? They want extra?! Well tell them they can suck my ass and work with what they asked me to give them."

"Ahaha... another one..." One of the students muttered as they watched walk off to the front of the path. It was where the entrance was, they also had free samples there and advertisers.

"Looks like it..." Another student muttered with a sigh. "They buy ingredients and find out they're lacking, and ask the empress for more..."

"Guys, get back to work!" The one incharge of the service staff inquired, pushing them off to get back inside. "We'll get in trouble if you guys slack off!"

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

"Hm, looks like everything's going well." Masafumi hummed with a smile as he watched over the school on top of the building. "Hm... I better buy something from dear (Y/N)'s booth now before they run out..." He chuckled, taking his phone and calling one of his men on his phone. "You know what to do."

{Leave it to me, Masafumi-sama.}

"Take one of everything." He said with a straight face, raising his hand to reveal various tickets on his hand. "And get something for you guys too."

{OHH!! Thanks a lot, Masafumi-sama!!!}

Honestly. This guy. He's too doting. He's honestly one of the reasons that you have such a huge ego. But that ego can be backed up. 

Because at the end of the day, as the clock hits 6 PM, and the MC announced the top three of the central area. 

Your booth stands at second place, right below Terunori's.

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

"She's sulking." Mitsue commented as the special guest for the night finally left. 

"She's sulking alright." Hano nodded with him, the other RS members behind them as they watched drink hot chocolate with an angry pout on your face. "Call the eight seat. Hurry!" She exclaimed, slapping Mitsue on the shoulder. 

"On it!!" Mistue replied with a chuckle, containing his anger. He immediately opened his phone and contacted said boy's number. "Hello, good evening eight seat! Congratulations on taking first place!" He said with a smile. 

{Oh, it's you, Mitsue-chin! Thanks! What's up?}

"Yes, can you please come here." Mitsue said with a straight tone, a complete 180 from his previous tone. "The empress is sulking." 

With that, the Terunori hanged up, leaving your RS members to wait. And wait they did. For the past ten minutes they watched as you grumbled curses under your breath, Hano refeiling your chocolate and adding more marshmallows and whipcream. 

The door of the building burst open and came in Terunori running, still on his uniform with some of his RS members following behind him. 

"(Y/N)!! Are you okay?" He asked with a laugh as he stepped inside the lounge. But the moment he did, he felt a cold shiver run up his spine. "W-what?" 

"Hmph." You pouted, turning your head away from him as both Hano and Mitsue went out, taking the others with them to prepare for the next day. Terunori sat next to you, trying to get you to talk. "I hate you." 

Terunori laughed and snuggled with you, taking your hot chocolate and taking a sip. "Sorry, sorry, I guess I'm just better than you!" 

"Hm!" You raised your hand and gave him a bonk on the head, snatching your cup from him. "Don't talk to me." 

"Aaaah. I'm just trying to cheer you up~" He whined, resting his head on your chest, giving you puppy dog eyes, slightly tugging on your cold dead heart. "Come on! You were pretty close to my score, so just do your best next time!" 

"..."

"(Y/N)~" He called, running his finger on your neck and down to your collar bones. But you still did not react. But he was not going to give up. He leaned closer, his lips brushing against yours lightly. "Can I get a kiss~?" 

"..." You bit the inside of your lips, trying to contain your grin. He looked so adorable and so hot at the same time you [you need a word censor]. 

"Please, mon amour~" 

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

"Alright, everyone back to work." You said, walking into the kitchen, tying your hair up and walking over to sink, washing your hand. "We have to start preparing for tomorrow!" 

"Ah, she's back..." They sigh in relief. 

"What did you do?" Hano asked, pouring the flour on the industrial mixer and turning to Terunori who was finishing your cup of chocolate. 

"Just a little something." Terunori replied with a smirk, leaving the others to wonder what happened. You guys wonder too, cause you don't know what happened.
