"W-what are you doing to Sofie!" A voice interrupted Sofie and Yue Wan. Most likely spotting the direction of a certain someone's hands were going.
"Tsk…" Letting out an annoyed sound, Yue Wan turned around and inspected the unwelcome person who just showed up.
Sofie was surprised at the sudden loud voice and turned around to look who it was.
Xiao Yao was standing behind them while pointing angrily towards Yue Wan for some reason. The bag in her right hand was slightly lifted and it looked like she was about to throw it at any given moment.
Upon seeing her, Yue Wan quickly escaped out of the front door followed closely behind by the bag Xiao Yao was carrying.
Sofie just ignored their unique actions as their way to show friendship for one another and stood up, ready to get something to eat. "A-are we going to get something to eat now?"
"Yes, we will go now." Calming down as she heard Sofie's voice, Xiao Yao answered her and went forward to pick up the bag she threw towards the escaping Yue Wan earlier.
Hearing Xiao Yao's answer Sofie happily walked out of the now open front door. Xiao Yao was not far behind, as she followed after Sofie soon after picking up the bag on the ground.
…
The journey to the dining hall was quite lively, as Yue Wan ended up joining them sometime on their way. Resulting in both her and Xiao Yao constantly bickering at each other like an elderly couple.
Sofie mostly ignored the two bickering and only had food in her mind, she could officially call herself a foodie with her ability to ignore the two bickering behind her in the face of food. After all, their bickering was not quiet at all… Earning quite a few curious looks from nearby disciples heading towards the dining hall as well.
…
As they reached the entrance of the dining hall, Sofie was shocked at how many people were present at the moment. Even the filled-up dining hall in the morning was nothing in comparison to the crowd latterly standing in front of the dining hall at the moment.
"W-why is there so many people…?" Sofie asked in a shocked tone of voice, as she helplessly looked at all the people standing in front of the dining hall.
These people all had to eat! Did this not mean there would be less food for her? What was she supposed to eat?
Heartbroken by the thought that she would not be able to eat anything, Sofie looked even more dispirited with the passage of time.
If any of the elders or other disciples of the sect could hear what she thought, they would most likely start coughing up blood. The biggest sect in the area did not have enough food for its disciples? What about the weaker sects in the area? Were they supposed to be starving?
"Ah, Sofie! And… Xiao Yao? Are you going to get something to eat?" Hearing the familiar voice from behind, Sofie turned around like a starved person looking at their saviour brining them an entire banquet worth of food.
"Senior sister Ling Yue!" Letting out a cry of happiness, Sofie, under the astonished eyes of both Xiao Yao and Yue Wan. Jumped directly into her and hugged her tightly.
Ling Yue was astonished as well, as she had no idea what came over the little junior sister in front of her all of a sudden.
"W-what happened? Why are you suddenly jumping at me?" Ling Yue asked with a questioning look, as she observed the little junior sister tightly clinging to her waist not knowing whether to laugh or cry at the sudden unexpected assault.
"Senior sister, did you not take me to a good place to eat yesterday?" trying to look as adorable as she could at the moment, Sofie tried something she never tried before. Turning to act spoiled like a kid her age should, Sofie had reached new heights in the realm of cuteness and was close to reaching the pinnacle.
"Y-yes?" Ling Yue faltered slightly in front of the onslaught of Sofie and stuttered a bit in her answer.
"C-can we go there again?" Sofie did on last attack and squeezed even closer to Ling Yue, as she cutely looked up at her. Starring innocently into her eyes.
"O-okay, we ca-"
"STOOOOP!"
having already given in to the cute creature in front of her, Ling Yue was interrupted by a loud voice coming from the side of Xiao Yao.
"W-wh-where do you think you are taking my Sofie!" The voice angrily sounded causing the nearby disciple, who were earlier charmed by Sofie's behaviour to look her way.
Yue Wan stood righteously with her head high in the air as she angrily looked towards Ling Yue like she had taken away something that belonged to her.
The surrounding disciples faces soon turned ugly especially the males. Yue Wan was especially known in the sect for her like towards cute things and girls were definitely cuter than boys. This had caused her to ignore all the male disciples while "protecting" the female disciples from them.
The amount of relationship between disciples had therefore dropped since Yue Wan entered the sect, which caused the male disciples to hate her, as she always seemed to appear and interrupt them whenever they tried to confess to a female disciple.
The male disciples already in a relationship were happy they mustered up the courage to confess before the self-proclaimed "protector of all cute things" appeared in the sect.
This time it seemed one of the new disciples were off the scales in cuteness, causing her to turn against girls as well… Sighing to themselves. Many of the male disciples lamented over their sad fate.
Hearing Yue Wan's voice, Ling Yue quickly glanced at her before questionably looking down at Sofie.
"S-she is living in the same house as me and Xiao Yao, a… roommate?" Sofie saw the questioning look on Ling Yue's face and quickly answered. Not completely sure what Yue Wan was considered.
"Ah, I see. You live together with Yao as well… Seeing as both your roommates are here. Let's eat together in the dining hall instead, as it is easier." Saying so, Ling Yue moved towards the crowded entrance and entered with Sofie in tow.
Sofie, at the moment. Felt like she should have ignored the idiot interrupting her plan to get food.
Said idiot was happily smiling, as she entered the dining hall after Sofie and Ling Yue. Xiao Yao on the other hand let out small sigh at a certain someone's behaviour and quickly followed behind the slowly disappearing figures of Ling Yue and Sofie.
…
The inside of the dining hall was crowded, but Ling Yue still easily found an empty table with enough room for all four of them.
The way to get food was somewhat different compared to the morning, as you had to choose something on a menu and wait for a servant working for the sect to come with it.
"Did anyone here order the extra-large steak dinner menu?" A servant popped up, as he was carrying a large amount of food in his relatively small hands.
"ME!" Excited at finally seeing her food arrive, Sofie did not have time to admire how the servants managed to navigate in the busy dining hall.
The servant was a little shocked as he looked at the tiny figure of Sofie, but quickly recovered his smile and left the food in front of her before leaving the table.
Xiao Yao and Yue Wan looked shocked at Sofie devouring the meal in front of her at record speed.
How does all of that even fit inside of that tiny body?
"The portions around here are really small… Ling Yue, can I get more?" Sofie said as she stared at Ling Yue with shinning eyes.
"Hm? Of course, just eat as much as you can!" Ling Yue already used to Sofie's ability to eat a lot said gently as she returned to eating her own meal.
""HOW!""
A sound came from the side as both Xiao Yao and Yue Wan speechlessly asked at the same time.
