LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 73 – Preparation Before The Farewell Party For Graduating Students
After some deliberation, I decided on this particular spell!
As the days went by, it was finally the day of the farewell party for the graduates.
Since the farewell party had a dress code, rental outfits were prepared in the dining hall for the students from commoner backgrounds, making the hall a bustling place with fittings since the morning.
Although Althea had her own dress and could afford to take it easy, she was somehow helping out with the rental outfits in the dining hall. Naturally, Laila was there with her.
The reason for this was that after breakfast, while Althea was taking a walk around the dormitory, she spotted Precious Randall carrying in the rental outfits. When Althea called out to her, Randall, though surprised, responded with a smile that showed signs of fatigue. Concerned about her smile, Althea asked why she was tired, and Randall shyly explained that a staff member had caught cold, leaving them short-handed.
Upon hearing this, Althea hurried to the dormitory head and volunteered to help with the dress fittings. Of course, it wasn’t just Althea going alone; Laila accompanied her as well.
For Althea, who had always been helping everyone in the territory and town, lending a hand was not a burden at all. Rather, she interacted with the students from commoner backgrounds who came to borrow the outfits, saying things like, “Oh, what a design,” and “This color is lovely,” with delight.
Initially, the commoner students were surprised and hesitant to see Althea there, but as they watched her proactively engage with the indecisive girls, happily helping them choose and offering advice, more and more students began preferring Althea’s assistance over the store staff.
Even after noon, the line of students waiting for Althea’s assistance did not diminish.
Growing impatient, Laila approached Precious Randall and said, "We have our own preparations to attend to, so may we be excused?" Randall, who had been too busy with her work to keep track of time, hurried to Althea and offered to take over.
“Miss, thank you so much. We can handle the rest.”
“But there are still so many people…”
“However, you need to prepare as well, don’t you?”
With that, Randall addressed the students in line.
“Everyone, I am terribly sorry, but from this point forward, I, Precious Randall, will be assisting you. Please understand.”
Initially, some students grumbled, saying they wanted Althea’s help, but they soon acquiesced, reassured that Randall would assist them.
“Now that everyone has agreed… Miss, you’ve been a great help today. Thank you. I will properly express my gratitude another day. Please hurry now.”
With that, Precious Randall began attending to the students.
As for Althea, she returned to her room with Laila to prepare for the event.
