Back To the Beginning
Sweetness of Hard Work

"Well, do you know why we're here right now?" jack asked us behind him.

""Party!"" answer us simultaneously.

We have been living a busy restaurant life for over a week. I didn't expect that the effect would last this long. At first I only suspected that the effect of the promotion would last only two or three days, but the statement could last much more than that. That is because we maintain and improve the quality of our service and food of course.

Therefore, doing a party is worth celebrating.

The raw materials warehouse, the place where all the groceries in this restaurant came from. It's small, not too small. Although not as large as the factory warehouse I usually see, the area here is enough to be the main living room. Maybe because the shelves are lined and lined, which are filled with many foodstuffs, making this place as if small when seen at a glance.

When I went deeper, Jack was sitting on a table near the entrance with his funds.

"Then, take the ingredients as you like! we're going to party tonight!!"

"Why should we party in our own place? why don't you go out there? to that fancy, shiny, charming place?" foys walked over to Jack.

"Why do we have to spend a lot of money on it? we better use it to enlarge this place first. Anyway we still have a lot of ingredients here, it would be a pity if not used," explained Jack.

"All right, I don't have a problem with that. But, who's gonna cook for the party tonight?"

"Who else?" jack looked at the two people near me.

"Huh? Me?" nick asked and Eli put a curious face next to him.

"Yup, you two. Nick and Eli. Who else has above-average cooking skills other than the two of you?"

"But I've been cooking all day, when should I do tonight too?" nick said he objected to Jack's idea.

"It's okay... This can be a match, right? A match to determine who the best cooks are here. What do you think, Eli?"

Jack is clearly trapping Nick with Eli here.

Challenged to compete, Eli immediately agreed to a proposal from Jack without thinking.

"That's a great idea!! Finally, the moment I was waiting for came! Brother Nick let's fight! I will beat you this time!" exclaim Eli.

After declaring war, Eli rushed around and began looking for ingredients to make food that could defeat Nick by nightfall.

"Jack, you.." said Nick, feeling trapped.

"All right! We start!" exclaimed Eva, wanting to quickly begin.

Everyone in the room cheered then dispersed and started down the hundreds of groceries available on the shelves. So did I, Noland, and Chloe. We tried to look around at what ingredients were available and imagine what food would be created from those ingredients.

While walking through the rows of shelves I saw Eli and Foys were busy in the part of the place that seemed to be filled with various types of sacks containing flour. Looking for references, I approached them.

"Oh, Arthur, Noland, Chloe. Have you chosen what you want to do?" ask Foys to us.

"It's not yet, I'm still confused. What about you guys?" reply manyu.

"As you can see, I seem to want to make flour-based food! I want to eat some crunchy bread tonight!" obviously Foys.

"Bread?! I want to try it too" said Noland to get an idea from Foys.

"Then take the necessary ingredients to make the bread of your dreams... You can ask Eli if you're confused. His homemade bread is among the best here" Foys told us.

"Sure! I'm sure I can beat Brother Nick with my bread!" eli received the compliment with pleasure.

Eli watched the various types of flour in front of him carefully and earnestly. He really meant it to beat Nick.

"By the way this is our first party to invite others, outside the family. So be proud of you" said Foys.

"We appreciate it very much."

"Hehe's kidding! you don't have to be stiff like that. After all, we think of you as family too. Isn't that right Eli?"

"That's right!"

Eli replied firmly then without warning suddenly stood up and threw a handful of flour at us.

The white flour grains flew in the air and hit each of us in the face.

"Hey! Eli what are you doing?!" snapped Foys.

"What harm? It's party! the party started earlier!" eli said as he continued his ignorance by crossing out Foys's face with his flour-filled hand.

"Hey! Eli!!"

Angled with emotion, Foys grabbed the nearby flour and hit back at Eli with the flour. That way, the faces of the two of them were already exposed with flour.

Seeing that Foys was hooked, Eli laughed happily and continued his prank. He threw back Foys' flour, and pelted us again with flour.

Seeing this, I saw an opportunity to get closer to the two of them.

"It's exciting, like," I said. I hurried over to the sack of flour near me.

"... Arthur?" noland was confused by my attitude.

I grabbed some flour in my hand.

"Receive this!" seruku by following pelting flour.

Replies happened long enough between the four of us. Our fun and laughter cannot be contained until it is heard by others. Jack and Nick came and saw our behavior.

"Hey you! don't waste food on useless stuff!" jack shouted as he approached us.

Still in a flour-throwing atmosphere, Foys unwittingly threw the flour hard at me but missed so much that it hit Jack's face behind me. With our faces and clothes covered in flour, we slowly realized Jack's whereabouts.

"You guys...!!!"

We're really going to get in trouble this time.

Jack walked quickly towards us, as we ran away from him. And be a new game, a game of chase and catch.

Nick and Chloe look at this incident from a distance while astonished and Eva looks ready with the ingredients that are already in the basket in her hug and is walking back to the kitchen.

This made me forget to do my main purpose. I can't waste any more time. Too much time has been sacrificed to seek certainty.

Tonight is just about to begin, and it will be very long.
