"You've lost your perfect attendance bonus for this month."
Zhao Bai lowered his head to make a record, drawing an X on the calendar as he spoke regretfully to Rita.
Rita couldn't shake the feeling that Zhao Bai was taking pleasure in her misfortune.
Before the maid arrived, the knight was already there. Fu Hua meticulously sorted through the account books, then cast Rita a puzzled glance. A maid arriving late was simply unheard of.
"Please don't look at me like that, Lord Fu Hua."
"Mm..."
Although Rita was late, work had long since begun. Today's specialty was still beef. Zhao Bai took beef ribs and grilled them to medium with Heavenly Fire Judgment, serving them with fresh cherry tomatoes and rosemary. The tender beef burst with juice.
Of course, there were also people who wanted it well-done.
Since it wasn't that kind of processed beef pieced together from scraps, it was difficult to keep it juicy when cooked well-done. Zhao Bai experimented a little, and only about one out of every three pieces came out right.
The rest were dry, inedible garbage.
Only an idiot would waste ingredients like that. Fortunately, St. Freya's students were all reasonable little angels. After a brief explanation, no one made such requests anymore.
Business was as booming as ever today.
Anti-Entropy's Quantum Space was holding a council meeting.
The leader Tesla and the leader Einstein were having a disagreement. Though most of the time, it was Tesla throwing a one-sided, helpless tantrum, it was still rather noisy.
"Why did you shove a lollipop you'd already licked into that guy's mouth?!"
Her red twin-tails bounced as she raged helplessly.
Einstein's tone was always calm and flat, just like her perpetually unkempt hair. She replied, "Why? I'm looking for the reason myself right now."
