Chapter 214

After finishing lunch, Clael returned to the staff room and resumed his paperwork.

There should have been a fair amount left, but... perhaps he had been energized by Reina's bento. He managed to finish earlier than planned.

While Clael was working, Reina waited for him at the sanctuary.

Apparently, she had cleaned while she waited. The sanctuary was now completely spotless and gleaming.

"Oh... amazing..."

"Ah, Clael-sama. Are you done with work already?"

When Clael entered the sanctuary, Reina turned around with a radiant, sun-like smile, holding a rag in one hand.

"Yes. Sorry to keep you waiting. Still... you really went all out, didn't you?"

Looking around the sanctuary, Clael let out an admiring sigh.

The sanctuary's floor, ceiling, stained glass, and all the furnishings like the chairs and organ were sparkling.

It wasn't just a matter of dusting and polishing—it had been purified by the Saint's blessing.

"It's like a holy land... well, I suppose it's a bit late to say that now."

Reina's power was already known throughout the academy.

At this point, no one would be shaken by a miracle of this scale.

"So, about today's plans..."

"We're going to buy clothes together, and then go to the restaurant, right? I'm really looking forward to it!"

"About that... thinking it over, I realized the restaurant might be a bit difficult."

"Eh...?"

Reina's joyful expression instantly shifted to one of confusion.

Feeling sorry for that change in expression... Clael shared his thoughts.

"That place is a high-end restaurant frequented by nobles, and I don't think they'll let us in without a reservation."

Clael was, after all, a member of the Byrne Marquis family and a Saint who had established a certain position at the Grand Shrine.

He likely had more than enough qualifications to make a reservation... but even so, waiting one's turn was inevitable.

"We won't know for sure until we check, but... if we can't get a reservation, we'll just have to give up. Maybe next time."

"No way...!"

Reina looked as if her world had ended.

She must have been really looking forward to the high-end restaurant... and he completely understood how she felt.

When it comes to food, it's even harder to compromise.

"So we can't go to the restaurant...?"

"Ah—well, I'm thinking we could at least check, just in case..."

"Let's do that! I'm sure it'll be fine!"

Reina clenched her fists with both hands and leaned in toward Clael.

"Probably, definitely, absolutely we'll get a reservation... so let's go eat together!"

"Eh, ah... okay. Just don't get your hopes up too much, alright?"

Just in case, he made sure to warn her clearly.

He planned to check if they could get a reservation, but... he hoped it wouldn't end in disappointment for Reina.

"Ah, there are people from the shrine who came with me as guards to the academy, so I'll have them check for us!"

"Understood. I'll come after locking up, so let's meet at the school gate."

"Okay!"

Reina dashed out of the sanctuary.

After securely locking the windows and entrance of the sanctuary, Clael followed after her.

He sent someone from the shrine to check the reservation at the high-end restaurant... and as it turned out, there was an opening, so they were able to book a table.

Apparently, someone had suddenly canceled.

The reservation had been made by a nobleman, but his bedridden child had just awakened, making dining out impossible.

It was a stroke of unexpected good fortune.

Clael was once again amazed by Reina's incredible luck, as if it were a miracle from a goddess.
