Chapter 133: Seven Days
I drove to the door of the office of the student council president, which is a place that I come to many times almost every day. Seeing that the lights in the room were still on, Randall sighed and knocked lightly on the door.
"Knock knock—"
"Please come in." A girl's voice came from inside the room.
Randall opened the door and saw Nina approving the documents without looking up.
"I'm still working hard so late, staying up late is not good for my skin." As he spoke, Randall walked over to his desk.
Hearing Randall's voice, Nina looked up in surprise, she didn't expect it to be Randall.
"This half, here you go." After a flash of surprise, Nina split the stack of papers next to her in two and pushed it to Randall across the desk.
"You're welcome." As he spoke, Randall smiled helplessly, and simply took the stack of papers and put them on his desk.
Tonight is destined to be a long night for them.
……
Day 2.
Nina, who was lying on her desk, was awakened by the soft sound of the door opening, and she opened her somewhat confused eyes to find that it was Randall who had entered. He carried two handy paper bags in his hand and placed one of them in front of Nina as he walked over. "Are you awake, let's eat something." He said.
Nina rubbed her eyes and looked at the paper bag, wondering when she fell asleep. Looking at the sky outside, the sun was still only half smiling.
Silently opening the paper bag, Nina took out the food inside: a cup of porridge, two pies, and a cup of soy milk. The porridge is packed in a paper cup, and it is very convenient to open the lid and drink it slowly. The paper cup is tilted, and Nina tastes it lightly, which is just right salty and fragrant. A warm cup of porridge in the morning is also a very good choice.
"Knock knock—"
There was a knock at the door.
Because the door was not closed yet, the two people in the room saw that the person knocking on the door was a girl dressed in white.
"Ellie." When Randall saw the person who was coming, he looked at the girl at the door with a surprised expression. "You're up early!" He was surprised to say that it was only 6 a.m., and the average student hadn't gotten up yet.
"Randall! When did you get back? Ellie was surprised to see the tall blonde figure, saying that she had been worried about Randall's safety all these days.
"Just came back last night." Randall replied.
"What's wrong with your eyes, are you not feeling well?" Ellie asked worriedly, looking at Randall's bloodshot eyes.
"It's nothing, I stayed up late last night to approve the documents and take a break...... That's it. Randall yawned as he spoke.
When Ellie heard this, she glanced at Nina, who was sitting and eating pies, and found that her eyes were also red, and it seemed that Randall was not the only one who stayed up late. Ellie looked at the papers on the table, the stacks of papers standing out in the somewhat spacious room.
It turns out that everyone in the student council is so busy, Randall, they haven't even had time to rest......
"What's the matter?" Nina said after taking a sip of soy milk, it's a little early now.
"Hmm." Ellie nodded, then pulled out the golden egg that Gloria had given her. Then she told the two of them what happened last night and introduced the origin of the golden egg.
"So there's no way to open it right now?" Nina dragged her chin with one hand and said flatly.
"Well, but I'll figure it out as soon as possible. Aren't you going to take a break? "Ellie had tried to stay up late, but after only half the night, she was already in a daze, and she couldn't even recognize who she was doing.
"Wait a little longer, and we'll go rest in a moment. Let's talk about how to open the golden egg now. Randall said he wanted to study it while he was eating. But what he didn't expect was that the girl in front of him rejected his kindness at the next moment.
"No-okay-"
Ellie took the golden egg back into the ring and shook her finger at Randall, "The most important thing for you to do now is to rest, I'll take care of the golden egg." ”
"But......," Randall wanted to say something like "there are many people and there is great power."
"That's it, I'll solve the mystery of the golden egg soon. You have to get some rest. With that, Ellie turned around and left neatly, not even giving Randall a chance to keep it.
Looking at Ellie's back as she left, Randall sighed invisibly and said to Nina, who was eating the second pie on the side, "Aren't we taking the game too seriously." ”
Nina tugged at the corners of her mouth noncommittally, as if smiling, "Try harder next time." ”
……
Leaving the president's room, Ellie walked alone on the stone path of the academy. The sun had revealed its full body, and the light it emitted illuminated all of Osford.
Ellie didn't expect Nina and Randall to stay up all night last night, and the only reason she woke up so early was because she had to get up to make breakfast. After breakfast, I thought of waiting for Nina in front of the president's room, but I didn't expect the door to be open, so there was a scene this morning.
Seeing that the two seniors were so busy that they didn't even have time to sleep, Ellie's heart couldn't help but feel a little distressed. She didn't know what the members of the student council were doing on a day-to-day basis, but now that she had some ideas of her own, maybe Nina-senpai and Randall just wanted to relax when they competed. As for the golden eggs, after seeing them like that, she really couldn't bear to let them do any more superfluous things, so let them have a good rest during those times.
The academy gave the students a week off yesterday to give the Osford warriors more time to solve the mystery of the Golden Egg, while the rest of the students were more incidentally given a week off. Not having to go to class meant that Ellie didn't have to face her classmates, which made her relieved when she got the news of the holiday. The defeat in this competition made her feel a knot in her heart, she felt that she was competing for Osford, but she suffered such a heavy defeat, even if everyone didn't blame her, she was embarrassed to face them. You must know that when she knew that Ellie was selected as a warrior, her classmates gave her great encouragement.
It's still early, and there's no one walking around outside. Ellie didn't want to go back, she wanted to walk outside, she didn't know where she wanted to go, maybe she just wanted to get some fresh air outside. While walking and thinking about the future development, she walked without purpose at all at this moment, she was immersed in her own small world and couldn't extricate herself. It wasn't until she was stopped by Melina that she realized that she had actually walked to the church of the medical department.
Ellie knew that Melina loved to sit in the chair in front of the door and read books, and would do so every morning, with a wide variety of types of books.
"Good morning, Miss Melina."
"Where are you going?" Melina asked, seeing that Ellie was in a trance and looked absent-minded.
"Ah...... Not...... It's nothing, go around outside......" Ellie said with a blushing face and some embarrassment.
It's really ...... to be stupid and be seen by someone familiar with it It's so sad......
PS: Carvin, I feel like I'm going to break......
