Chapter 109
"It seems I don’t remember that moment."
Erika, with a serious expression, recalled the events of the previous night and explained the situation to me.
"I came following the student council president after we got a report from . The head of the academic department was already there. Then, I watched the president have a conversation with him, and the president went inside while the teacher came out and said something to me."
Erika also met with the head of the academic department.
"I think the teacher gave me a piece of candy to cheer me up... but I don't remember what we talked about. I can only remember this now."
"Candy?"
"They said it was a commemorative candy to be sold during the 100th anniversary opening event."
"Commemorative candy for the 100th anniversary event, and the student council didn’t know? Where is it supposed to be sold?"
"They’re planning to sell it at the village’s restaurant or cafes. It seems like they outsourced it."
"Isn't that strange? If it's for the 100th anniversary, it's a big deal, yet the student council doesn't know about it? How could they have outsourced it like that?"
"Yeah. It didn't really raise any suspicions."
With Erika's response, a silence fell. Both of us became more serious.
