"What happened?" Evelyn anxiously approached Rosie, who suddenly shouted.

"Oh, Eve, this. Earlier, I tasted this curry sauce, and it wasn't spicy at all, so I added a little chili powder. But the bottle has a problem, and the chili powder is all in. Look." Rosie showed Evelyn the empty chili powder, then pointed to the bright red curry.

"..." Evelyn was speechless.

The dish was spoiled just because of that, and when everything was ready to be served... Having dinner with something so red and spicy, she didn't want to suffer.

"Something happens?" Elysia came to the kitchen to check together with Bianca.

"Ely, look." Evelyn just pointed to a pot of red curry like lava on a volcano.

Elysia and Bianca simultaneously glanced at the pot, and they were immediately dumbfounded. It was the main course of their dinner, but it became a difficult situation for the curry.

Curries were usually yellow or slightly brownish in color, but this one was just red. They didn't want to eat spicy food, which might be more intense than spicy...

As if she knew what the three girls were thinking, Rosie immediately took the spoon.

"It's not that bad, I suppose. It might be red, but that doesn't mean it's too spicy. Let me taste it first." Without hesitation, Rosie scooped the curry soup, put a little into her hand, then tasted it.

Once, twice, and three times, she felt the red curry tasted good, and her tongue would testify to it. A problem would no longer matter as long as it was delicious.

"En, don't worry. The curry isn't spoiled because of the chili powder. It's delicious and not too spicy. Please wait at the dining table, and we'll eat together." Rosie announced with pride and joy.

"Is that so?" Evelyn muttered as she examined the empty chili powder bottle.

After finding no irregularities, such as an expired product, she put it on the table. She just considered it not spicy, 50 grams of chili powder mixed into about 300 grams of curry, and Rosie could confidently state that.

Therefore, the dish was served at the table, and the girls sat nicely on their chairs. The girls believed in Rosie and her tongue just like that.

Unfortunately, regret came afterward. The girls besides Rosie only needed one bite to find out the authentic spicy taste of their dinner. The curry's redness was the same as the chilies' spiciness that tortured their tongues and mouths. Their lips were slightly red, and so were their faces.

"Uah, spicy! Water, water... Gulp, gulp..." Bianca was the first to express her agony. She drank a glass of water instantly.

"Uu... This spicy?" Evelyn did the same. She also immediately drank her glass of water after one bite of torture.

Elysia was only silent for a moment, but she quickly connected her sense of taste to Elena.

'Is it spicy, Ely? Uah, what are you doing, Ely!? Ah, wuah, ahh... Spicy, spicy... My tongue is burning! Ely, help...' Elena also suffered from the same thing in the Soul Realm.

'En, we suffer together.' Elysia immediately fled to the storage cupboard to get some milk, pour it into a glass, and drink it.

After that, she returned to the dining table. "Here, drink this milk to neutralize that spiciness."

Elysia poured the milk into Bianca and Evelyn's empty glasses. The two girls who were suffering drank a glass of milk right away. Luckily, they had only eaten one spoonful, and one glass of milk was able to make the three girls relieve the hot spicy taste.

'Ely, you meanie.' Elena expressed her protest with few tears because of the spicy taste earlier.

'I feel the same. We are fair and get along well. Don't we often share our senses?' Elysia didn't feel guilty about that. She often shared her senses with Elena when she was eating.

'Very well, I can't blame you either. See, isn't it just Rosie and Vann that don't feel spicy? This is strange... Is our food being hijacked?' Elena relented as they both suffered a moment ago. The suspicion came when she realized only three girls were suffering, but the others were just eating peacefully.

"Rosie, don't you taste the spiciness? The red curry is that hot, and you said it's delicious?" Bianca delivered her protest with a sullen expression.

"No, really. It's delicious. Look, I've finished my curry. I wonder why the three of you suffer from panic disorder just because of that one spoon of curry." Rosie held out her empty plate with a smile.

"Pa-panic disorder, you say? That red, hot curry, and you said it's delicious... Fine, you and your tongue are just weird." Bianca didn't want to argue anymore and ate something other than curry. At least, the side dishes and desserts were still there.

Hearing that, Elysia glanced at the cat, who had also finished eating the spicy chicken curry.

'Vann, don't you taste spicy or anything?' Elysia asked curiously through their connection.

'The spicy taste won't stop me from finishing my food. Is it spicy, master? It's just red. May I have one more portion?' Vanessa just licked her mouth when she answered. Instead of spiciness, she asked for more.

'Will you finish my curry, Vann? I can't finish this hot red curry. You can add more portions later as usual.'

'With pleasure, master.' Vanessa instantly agreed to the offer.

Hearing that, Elysia shifted her plate and let the white cat finish the red chicken curry plus rice. As for her, she ate side dishes and desserts for dinner.

Evelyn had no other choice either. So, apart from Rosie and Vanessa, the girls couldn't afford to eat such spicy food. To avoid redundancy, the one who finished the spicy food was none other than Rosie and Vanessa.

After that dinner, Rosie exchanged some pleasant and light conversations with Elysia, Evelyn, and Bianca. She decided to take another approach because she could not find Elysia's background and origin after the many ways she did to gather information.

It was no longer an attempt to find out about the what, why, etc... The staunch student council president was just trying to get to know Elysia better in the right way.

Her decision had overlooked several things. However, because of that, the truth would reveal itself to the light at the right time. Not one or two things at the same time, but all at once.

As the night wore on, Rosie and Bianca said their goodbyes to the room masters. Only Elysia, Evelyn, and Vanessa were left in the dorm room.

"Oh yeah, how about the little bird, Ely?" Evelyn suddenly thought of the wounded bird.

"The love bird is fine. Medical treatment has gone well." Elysia responded as she walked back into the living room and sat on the sofa.

"Really? Oh, the little bird is bandaged and seems to be sleeping." Evelyn also went to the sofa and sat beside her best friend. She peeked at the little bird in the cardboard box on the table, then closed it again.

"Yes, let the love bird rest. If it gets better tomorrow, we can feed it." Elysia advised her friend.

"Ely, why do you call this little bird a love bird?" Evelyn nodded with a calm smile and leaned back against the sofa.

"Well, that is the character of this bird. As far as I know, this type of bird is often close to and loves each other with birds of its kind. Especially if the lovebirds already have a partner." Elysia shrugged her shoulders after saying that. She didn't know much more than what she said.

"Ooh, I see... Then, why is this love bird bandaged, Ely? Don't we need to use Healing Magic?" Evelyn nodded and asked innocently like a little girl who was receiving new knowledge.

"I think this treatment is better. That way, you can treat the little bird as a temporary pet or maybe your real pet. Uhm, did I get it wrong, and you don't want this little bird anymore, Eve?" Elysia assumed from her perspective. She thought Evelyn would like to take care of the little bird for a while.

"Un, that sounds good. We'll take care of this love bird. In that case, let's find a name for this little bird." Evelyn had the full approval of her best friend's decision.

"What about Tweety? This little bird tweeted for help, right?" Elysia quickly came up with a name.

"Oh, yes! It's a pleasant name. I can only think of the name Lovy or Levi because you told me this little bird is a love bird, Ely." Evelyn clapped her hands with a smile. The right name had been decided for the bird.

Since Tweety was sleeping, Evelyn immediately shifted the topic to what happened this afternoon. "Ely, your Luveeda was burst into pieces. Do you feel lost?"

"That's fine, Eve. I got it for free too. Who would have thought that Luveeda could break suddenly." Elysia waved her hand lightly at her reply.

"Uhm, let's go to the Mage Association again tomorrow. I want to request a Luveeda for us. My mother will definitely grant it when she finds out that her beloved daughter is proficient enough in magic. There will be no such thing as a backlash, repercussion, or anything." Evelyn caught Elysia's hand with a gentle smile.

"Alright, we'll be leaving tomorrow. Oh yeah, by the way... What do you think about the etiquette class? It's tonight, right? Ah, maybe we're too late for that." Elysia took out the square clock from her Space Bag and sighed softly.

"Oh, that. In my opinion, I no longer need that class because etiquette and manners have been taught since I was a child. After all, etiquette classes are only for students who wish to participate in the banquet while gaining knowledge and experience around it." Evelyn thought for a moment before explaining that.

"And again, we shouldn't take the etiquette class in the first month like this. There will be lots of students who will approach you for a dance and the like. That's annoying, my big brother said so." Evelyn didn't forget to add further information.

Meanwhile, Elysia just nodded in understanding and ignored Elena, who threw some protests about the injustice.
