Eiji arrived at the BBQ station and there were a lot of people in there already waiting in line.
"Oh?! Eiji! Here! Here!"
Eiji heard Maila's voice who was helping the people line up in front.
Eiji saw a lot of familiar faces from the tournament that wants to celebrate their graduation along with their parents or friends lining up in the restaurant.
"Eiji, the others are already here and even Lime! And uh? ohhh??? You really are excited about wearing your swordsman uniform huh?!"
Maila teased Eiji, who couldn't help but blush a bit, but if you look around, nearly everyone with the same age as him were wearing the same outfit.
It seemed like, he wasn't the only one itching to try out their official swordsman uniform.
"Hahha don't worry everyone is also wearing it! Well, I couldn't because as you can see, I have to help with the restaurant! Hahah come in!"
"Thanks!"
Eiji thanked Maila, as the both of them entered.
They got a reservation pretty easily because of Maila.
And even when everyone is celebrating, she still has to work in the store, so thanking here is just a small matter for Eiji and his classmates.
"Hahha no problem! You go there first I'll come with you guys later!"
After taking him to the booth, Maila left and Eiji went in.
Everyone was happily eating and shouting.
And just as Maila said, everyone here was wearing their nagagi with the brooch and their swords.
"Hahah! Eiji! Come here! The Barbeque here is really good!"
"Yeah! I asked Maila about their secret recipe, but she didn't tell me!"
"Stupid! She's an idiot if she tells you the secret recipe of their famous BBQ!"
"What?! Huh?!"
Everyone was roudy and excited. They didn't drink alcohol as they were still underage, but because they were still kids they have too much energy in them.
Besides everyone else was also roudy, especially the parents who invited their friens to drink in celebration for their kids passing or something.
"Eiji!"
Lime smiled at Eiji. And patted the empty place beside here.
Eiji smiled at her and sat down.
"Were you guys here since a while ago?!"
"Not really, when I arrived, the others were just looking for the booth so I guess it's not that long ago!"
"I see.."
A few minutes later, the booth was silen as more food came in and they ate with gusto!
Eiji admits that it really was delicious!
Then after they ate, they just sat there and talked, as they drank their juice ls.
"So guys! Which department would you go?!"
Then Renji asked this question.
"Of course the Shimin Training Department!"
"Hahahhaah! You're Joking right?!"
"Hey! What does that mean?!"
Then once again the booth erupted with rowdiness.
It was mever ending and Eiji just smiled at them.
-----
After eating drinking some juice and talking about their future plans as well as small competitions in who would be the stronger one in the future, everyone left.
Lime and Eiji talked a bit after everyone left.
"Eiji which department would you go?!"
"Well..... I do have an idea where I would go, how about you Lime?!"
"Uuhhmm... I saw the letter, and the thing in there are the three departments, I wasn't able to get invited by the Shimin Training Department sadly."
"Hmm..!"
Eiji nodded his head. Getting into that department is very hard, even if you actually won the tournament, it still wouldn't guarantee that you can get invited!
"Well.. I have expected that though! So I will join the Warrior Department! Hehe!"
Lime smiled with confidence as he looked at Eiji.
"Hmmm!"
The both of them went silent for a while.
"Lime... You can do it!"
Eiji then smiled and cheered Lime.
"Hmm!"
"Eiji.. the next time we meet.... I'll be very strong then!"
Eiji nodded.
"Well then... Goodbye Eiji!"
"Hmm! Goodbye Lime!"
Looking at each other once again, they then both parted ways.
'Its okay Lime, In the future I'll just protect you! Regardless if you become stronger or even if you stay the same!'
Vowing in his heart, Eiji walked back to his dorm to take his things back to his master's and now would be also his own home!
