"Is that so? Then, we excused ourselves first." Elysia gave Rosie a suspicious look, but she couldn't accuse the student council president any more than that.
"Wait! Wait, you're going back to the dorm, right? I heard you love cooking, and I happen to be able to cook a few things too. Can we stop by your dorm room for a visit?" Rosie did not stop there. She went straight to the point.
At that moment, Elysia stared at Evelyn. Yet, the latter just blinked with an innocent expression as if she had no comments or objections.
"Well, that's fine... However, Evelyn and I are in the girls' dorm, so..." Elysia gave Fran a brief glance to convey the sign to Rosie. She could not refuse the request if asked like that.
As if understanding what was not said, Rosie looked at her little brother with a smile. "Fran, isn't your order at your regular blacksmith ready? Why don't you pick it up?"
"Huh? As far as I remember, I've taken it to compensate for all the swords I broke." Fran did not immediately understand what his big sister meant by that. He only answered honestly.
"Stupid Fran, I mean, go home, please. Do you want to visit the girl's dormitory? Are you looking to die, huh?" Rosie stepped on her little brother's feet and spoke in a whisper-like voice.
"Oh, oh... Oh! I suddenly remember something important. I have to take care of it as soon as possible. All right, girls, see you next time." Fran immediately understood. He quickly made excuses and made a respectful escape from there.
Seeing Fran trotting as if in a hurry, Elysia could only smile wryly at that. She heard their conversation even though it was just a soft whisper.
Even so, she also couldn't make a fuss more than what had happened. Then, the seven girls came out of the training ground building. They walked together towards the dormitory area until they finally had to part ways. Elysia, Evelyn, Rosie, and Bianca say goodbye to Joanna and co.
"Nee, Ely, can I carry your cat?" Rosie requested after giving lots of attention to the white cat curled up in Elysia's arms.
"Yes, please treat her with care." Elysia allowed that after asking Vanessa's opinion. She handed the white cat to Rosie carefully.
"Oh my... You're so fluffy and clean. Ely takes good care of you." Rosie stroked the fluffy white cat attentively.
"Meow, mew." Vanessa replied proudly.
By the time they got close to the AA dormitory building, there was a pitiful squeak from near the tree. Instantly they stopped talking. With a hint of curiosity and a sense of oddity, the four girls slowly approached the source of the squeak.
It wasn't a ghost or unknown creature that would conquer the world, just a little wounded little bird. The bird's wing was broken, and the little one probably wished anyone's help.
"Oow, poor little one. Ah, you were injured, and your wing was broken. Is that why you can't fly?" Evelyn crouched down to pick up the poor bird, but Elysia stopped her.
"Eve, don't hold the little bird with your bare hands. Use this handkerchief to wrap it before you pick it up. The little one is injured." Elysia kindly suggested and provided a handkerchief. It was one of the handkerchiefs Brian returned to her in knight class.
Evelyn took the handkerchief, then wrapped the little bird's body then lifted it up. It was like a rolled little bird, but only its head popped out.
"Squeak... Squeak." The little bird squeaked but then fell silent. It was still alive, just feeling a little calm because the help finally arrived.
Vanessa only glanced at the little bird. However, the white cat's interest disappeared shortly after.
"Ely, let's take this poor little bird home. We can help this little one, right?" Evelyn made a request to her best friend. She felt compassion for the bird.
"Sure." Elysia nodded, and Evelyn smiled at that.
Shortly after, the two of them walked together towards their dorm room, and the two student council girls followed closely behind.
"Oh, you girls are back. O-ya, student council president and vice president came to visit?" Dory put the book she was reading to greet the girls who had just entered.
"Good evening, Mrs. Dory. Yes, Bianca and I came to visit Elysia and Evelyn's dormitory." Rosie returned the greeting politely.
"Oh-ho ho, alright, you girls are busy with your own things. This old lady is going back to reading the book." Dory chuckled before returning to reading the book.
Seeing the small talk only lasted there, Rosie turned her attention back to the two girls who were already walking in front. With the agility of the student council president, she immediately caught up with them. Bianca also followed suit.
*clack*
The door to room number 9AA was opened by Elysia, and the four girls entered in turns.
"Ohh, so this is Ely's dorm room... It's no different from other silver class dorms. Didn't none of you put your personal belongings here?" Rosie briefly scanned the room as if she was looking for something.
"It's there. Eve has a lot in her room. What do you expect to be here, President Rosie?" Elysia responded with ease, wondering why that question had arisen.
"Well, like a piano or something, maybe?" Rosie tried to guess, even though it was one of her little sister's favorite things.
"Piano, hmm..." Elysia suddenly remembered her music class from the past. She was good at playing it, but maybe that ability had faded with age.
"Ely, can you help me fix this little bird?" Evelyn was already sitting on the sofa and asking for help. She didn't know what she should do.
Elysia came out from her reminiscence at once. She helplessly smiled when she heard that and approached Evelyn. "It's not for fixing. It's healing, Eve."
"Ah, well, that. Can you heal this poor little bird? Look, one wing is broken, and its body is injured." Evelyn put the bird on the table.
"Fine, but only one person is in charge of this. You and President Rosie can cook dinner. President Rosie, can you? You want that, right?" Elysia looked at the student council president with an adorable gaze. It delivered a critical hit in Rosie's eyes, but Elysia didn't know it.
"Uhm, leave it to me. Also, please just call me Rosie if we're not in public. Oh yes, you can also call me big sister. Big sis is nice too." Rosie patted the upper part of her chest confidently.
"Uhh... Why?"
"Well then, please call me Rosie." Rosie immediately thought it was too much by asking Elysia to call her big sister or big sis.
"Rosie." Elysia only granted the student council president's wish, who looked at her hopefully.
"Yes! That's pleasant to hear. Come on, Evelyn, Eve, we have dinner to cook." Rosie smiled with a joyous expression, then pulled Evelyn to the kitchen. Meanwhile, Vanessa was only put on the sofa by her.
Bianca looked at Rosie and Evelyn's back with a few thoughts. She didn't remember Rosie could make a homemade dish. Even so, she could only wait for the results later.
Realizing she couldn't cook and didn't know what to do, a confused Bianca just sat on the sofa to watch the girl cleaning the little bird's wound.
By that time, Elysia had already taken out a first aid kit from a nearby storage cabinet to help her little patient. After the wound was cleaned and treated correctly, she took care of the broken wing by placing two sticks and wrapping it with a light bandage.
Now, the little bird could heal by itself. It was only a matter of time for the bird to fully recover.
'Ely, why don't you heal that love bird with Healing Magic? That way, the bird can fly right now.' Elena suddenly asked in confusion after Elysia had finished acting as a vet.
Elysia froze for a moment at that question. Even so, she was quick to defend her actions with common sense. 'Sister Elena, that doesn't mean I don't want to help the bird heal instantly, okay? The help will be appreciated for the process, not the result. Besides, Evelyn wants to take care of this little bird for a while.'
'Hehe, is that so?' Elena gave a teasing smile.
'Really.'
'Alright then.' Elena just closed the case. It also didn't really matter.
"Elysia, you are gifted as a medic." Bianca praised with admiration when the bird had been manually bandaged and treated.
"Is that so? Thank you. Uhm, Senior Bianca? Vice President Bianca?" Elysia responded out of courtesy. Unfortunately, she was confused by the name.
"You can call me Bianca the same way you call Rosie. But in public, please call me Vice President Bianca, okay?" Bianca smiled lightly.
"Alright..." Elysia just obeyed without question. She got off the sofa and returned a moment after.
The peaceful and serene bird was placed into a small cardboard box, which was perforated for ventilation. The handkerchief was used as a base for the bird to sleep.
After that, Bianca and Elysia exchanged several conversations peacefully. It was what Rosie wanted, but the girl was busy in the kitchen with Evelyn.
"Eve, what should I add to this curry sauce again?" Rosie served like Evelyn's assistant in the kitchen.
"I've added the others. It's just a teaspoon of turmeric powder, half a teaspoon of ground coriander, and a little red chili flakes." Evelyn gave instructions while taking care of the rice.
"Oh, okay." Rosie did what she was told.
In the next few moments, Rosie just did what Evelyn told her to do. Until the chicken curry was finished. However, something unexpected happened afterward.
"Ah!"
