Chapter 73 – Just Like That Night (1)

　　There were three things that the remaining four students at the Academy were tasked to do during vacation:

　　Guide the construction workers to the rooftop early morning. Maintain the worker’s break room. And finally, when the students returned to their dormitory, lock all the doors completely. Professor Hill sometimes came to check up on them, but while he was skilled at academics, he was poor at taking care of daily life. Instead, Louise preferred to enjoy tea with him.

　　Then, a gift arrived. The caretaker, who had gone home for the summer, sent a full load of potatoes along with an apology that she couldn’t be there. Louise couldn’t believe the caretaker used such an expensive mail service. How much of her salary did it cost?

　　The four brought in the potatoes and imagined the caretaker’s thick paycheck envelope and how she would spend it. After that, they set to work sitting around a table stripping the potatoes of their skins. Claire was a quick learner and was skillfully peeling the cooked potatoes, while Dean ate half a potato then washed the other half. He didn’t eat because it was delicious, but because it was too annoying to peel.
