Vol. 4 - Chapter 255 - Welcome Party and Celebration! A party must be extravagant!



A crisp sound of glass clinking played from our seats when I held my glass up high in the air and took the lead.

The current time was Sunday, 7:00 p.m., and a Welcome Party \'n\' Celebration was going on in the guild room of Eden.

Although I don\'t know who made it, a board inscribed with [Guild Eden\'s 3rd Welcome Party \'n\' Celebration] was adorned above the home shrine where Sachineko-sama was enshrined, which enlivened the mood even more.

A great number of dishes were lined up on the table, now larger than before after our guild became E-ranked.

But of course, not to be forgotten was today\'s party star.

Initially, we only planned a celebration for our first Intermediate dungeon exploration. Just the single achievement of clearing an intermediate dungeon was more than enough to raise the guild\'s value in the academy. The achievement alone holds the same meaning as the guild becoming larger. It\'s impossible that we wouldn\'t celebrate.

But that\'s when Ekaterina joined our ranks as a new member, and it turned into the topic of setting up a celebration for her joining too.

Albeit, I wasn\'t so sure when thinking about how we weren\'t able to set-up a welcome party for Lulu, Celia, Shizu, and Pamela since we were busy as bees at that time and didn\'t have leeway in our schedule. I was wondering if this would make them unhappy or make them think they were treated unfairly.

Apparently, working myself to the bone and doing everything on me to train them at that time worked out in my favor. Celia and Pamela said they have already received more than enough care.

Hence, I was able to hold a welcome party without it bothering me. I was a little worried when I asked everyone in the chat if everyone was free and found out that everyone only had leeway to move freely today, but we made it by moving quickly.

I looked at the Welcome Party \'n\' Celebration I was able to host safely in satisfaction and turned to the sole member who looked out of tune.

"Are you having fun, Ekaterina?"

Incidentally, I suddenly found myself calling her without any honorifics in the process of helping her out. Ekaterina didn\'t seem to mind that either, so I decided to just call her that.

Ekaterina turned to look at me with an expression that stated she still hadn\'t fully digested all the circumstances.

"Zephyr-san. It\'s so strange. I\'m not sure what I\'m doing here."

It seems like her memory drive has crashed. Who could be so cruel as to put her in such a predicament?

Or so I would say, but I guess the cause would only be that maybe I forced her to move a bit too much without giving her time to catch up with the situation.

A party cannot function without its party star; let\'s first restore bring her to her senses.

"Remember, Ekaterina. What did you do today? Try to remember what you had done in front of the Dragon Crystal statue."

"Hmm. A dragon statue…Statue... T-That\'s funny, I feel like I was daydreaming. However, it was a nice dream to see I actually got ‹Master-Planner Princess›."

"Because that wasn\'t a dream."

She couldn\'t even boot up her memory drive properly. Just who\'s so cruel to such an innocent girl…?

"For now, how about you check your status?"

Ekaterina\'s eyes widened as she checked her status in response to my call.

"Wha! I wasn\'t daydreaming? I really got the Master-Planner Princess job! What in the world!?"

"Does reason matter anymore? Congratulations on your successful job transfer to your dream job."

"Huh? T-thank you very much?"

"Today\'s a memorable day because Ekaterina has joined Eden. A lot of delicious dishes have been prepared, so eat to your heart\'s content. Oh, I will introduce you to our members."

"What! Eden. I Joined? Oh, that\'s right, I forgot and joined the top guild in the flow, and my mind can\'t even keep up with everything!?"

Alright! It seems she has finally been booted up.

I was finally able to make her catch up with the situation, though it sure did take a lot of time.

"Great, now let\'s begin with an introduction. The first is Eden\'s sole healer一一"

"Her Highness Lana!? N-NO more please, I\'m just on the verge of exploding, Zephyr-san. I request a timeout!"

So echoed Ekaterina\'s scream.

Unfortunately for her, and because she was the party star, the inevitable came to meet her by herself.

Lana came before us with her entourage of Shizu, Pamela, and Ester in tow.

"It\'s been a while, Ekaterina! We\'re now members of the same guild, let\'s look out for each other\'s backs, okay!"

"U-Understood! It would be my pleasure too, Your Highness Lana!"

"Do you two know each other?"

"Yup, we just kind of know each other, so I\'m happy that we can also become friends here."

According to Lana, while there are three Duke families in this Shiatona Kingdom, Ekaterina\'s family was located far away. That\'s why she was barely acquainted with her.

Ekaterina, the Duke family\'s daughter, came to study at this academy because it was the most prestigious of all.

I see; no wonder Ekaterina was so restless and down. I can\'t say I don\'t understand her low mood this morning.

After the exchange with Lana was over, I introduced her to other members.

Ekaterina would be the cornerstone from here on and would guide everyone, so I want to make sure she gets everyone right.

I was tagging along with her, considering she might be anxious alone.

"I\'m b-beat."

"Eating delectable dishes at such a time would undoubtedly revive you like a fish released into water. This is my recommendation."

After the introduction, I take dishes from the item bag.

They were still piping hot because they had been in the item bag until now.

"However, girls prefer sweets at such times. Why a steak?"

That\'s right, as Ekaterina said, I had taken out steak. It may be just as she said—it\'s not something to serve to a girl when she\'s tired.

But I believe in this.

"Give it a try. This is a cooking item, so it would bring you to your feet in no time. Plus, it\'s delicious."

"Haa, then I will try once. 一一chew...... This is so delicious, can I have one more bite?"

"Of course. Eat to your heart\'s content."

"This is really delicious. I feel like my lost energy is also recovering quickly, what type of dish is it?"

"Fufu. Don\'t be surprised to hear this. This is a dish made from the meat of a rare monster known as Golden Topple. It\'s called Shining Dinosaur Steak. Aside from temporarily increasing your HP, it\'s a potent item that also grants you temporary sleep and other types of aliment resistance. By the way, it was hunted by none other than our excellent Alchemist Hannah."

She\'s feeling all lightened up because of the sleep resistance. Her eyes were shining.

"Golden Topple\'s meat!? Ah, by Hannah, Do you mean that famous wondrous child Hannah? To gorge myself on rare monster meat... Was it really okay for you to give it to me?"

"Of course. You\'re already a member of Eden. Rather, what do you think we\'re doing right now? It\'s party time, there couldn\'t be a better time to enjoy them. Nevertheless, if you still feel bad, just try to give your all for Eden."

"...... You\'re right. To be honest, I\'m still all floaty about the situation. I can still feel my feet freezing up from fear; what if the Master-Planner Princess job I got and my joining the top guild Eden, whose entire members are from Combat Department Class 1 was all a dream that would vanish the moment I woke up in the morning?"

"Haha, I guess even if I say to take it easy since it\'s not a dream, that wouldn\'t remove your apprehension, huh. Well, it will dawn on you tomorrow. Since you\'re in Eden, I\'m going to make you go through hard training, don\'t forget that."

"Fufufu, if it\'s not a dream, as you said, I wouldn\'t hesitate. I swear to work hard for Zephyr-san, for you have saved me from the abyss I was helpless against. So I hope you can support me just as well, Zephyr-san, ok?"

"Huh? Ah, you can think of me as reliable as an immovable boulder?"

Hmm, I kind of feel the atmosphere around her changed suddenly. Was it my imagination?

"Umm, my familiar kin called me Rina. I, by all means, hope Zephyr-san calls me so too."

"O-Oh. Then, Rina?"

"Yes!"

When I tried calling her by her nickname, Ekaterin… no, Rina replied with a smile so beautiful I felt it might have eclipsed even the beauty of blooming flowers.

Maybe she kind of feels nostalgic, right? Huh, wrong?

Just as I was shaken up from Rina\'s reaction, a shadow appeared from overhead.

"You there, Zephyr! What are you doing, acting all chummy with the new girl! Rather, haven\'t you been too close to her for quite some time? Distance, immediately!"

What? But I don\'t remember doing anything at all, though?

"Zephyr, I was thinking it\'s a good time for you to gather with the others as well. Even Ekaterina-san might not be able to rest with you around her all the time."

Even Sierra came. Eh, why is even Sierra\'s tone kind of feel like blaming me?

"Excuse me, I don\'t particularly mind even if Zephyr-san is he一一"

"Geez, you\'re making all the dishes I\'ve worked so hard on cold, so come with me Zephyr. I will quickly serve them. Also, let\'s eat with Sachineko-sama too. Sachineko-sama would also like Shining Dinosaur Steak."

In the end, Hannah grabbed my hand and forcefully took me to the other side of the table.

Even Hannah seems to be in a bad mood?

Rina had tried to say something in the end, but it was drowned out by the sudden voice of Hannah, so I couldn\'t hear her out.

Afterwards, I was taken to Lulu and other members\' seats and made to eat lots of dishes.

As expected of the guild specializing in cooking (in search of the perfect balance between taste and buff), all of the commissioned dishes were great, but aren\'t you guys overfeeding? I can\'t eat anymore. What, do you feel I can still eat? I\'m just imagining, right?

Finally, I wasn\'t let off until my stomach was so bloated that I couldn\'t move.

In this way, Eden\'s 3rd Welcome Party \'n\' Celebration came to pass.
