Chapter 255: Resolving problems with Elise? (I)

(POV: Lumiere)

Our time in the bustling cafeteria came to an end. 

I slowly rose from my seat, taking a moment to stretch my tired limbs. 

Ruri, always attentive, noticed my exhaustion and gently inquired, "Are you feeling tired, Professor?"

I admitted the truth, responding with a nod. 

"Yeah, I'm pretty tired today. Teaching can be really draining, you know."

Anastasia, with her no-nonsense demeanor, promptly chimed in. 

"A teacher mustn't succumb to laziness, dear 'professor'. You should really maintain your composure and perseverance."

This idiot... She put a lot of sarcastic weight on that "Professor". 

I scoffed playfully, countering her statement. 

"Honestly, I'm not lazy. Just merely tired from the long hours of preparation and late-night teaching drills I've been conducting to find the most effective way to engage Elise."

Stellaria sighed having finally eaten at least half of her food.
