The truth was that Evie came from a poor family that had no conditions to pay for the Yukihime High School tuition fees, but Evie was a genius student who passed the exam that Yukihime School graded to admit scholarship students. With her high score on the exam, she managed to get a 100% scholarship for her 3 years of high school.
"Guys, think about it." Olly continued, "With all the promotion that the student council is putting out for this festival, loads and loads of people will visit the school. This means if we spread street food vendors all over the festival venue, we will be able to get much more sales than we could if we only sell in our own stand."
It was only now after these words that everyone started to understand how amazing Evie's idea was.
"I see! You're right, president! I'm sure that the public will surely crowd all over the street food vendors."
"We could sell different kinds of food in each location. This way we can attract even more customers."
"That's right! We could sell cotton candy, fried bananas, crepes, takoyaki, dango, etc. We have so many options!"
"That's such a great idea! Good work, Evie!"
"Yeah, Evie-chan, you're amazing!"
Everyone looked at Evie with shining eyes as they all complimented her.
"Thank you, everyone." Evie replied with a soft voice and a blushed face, but a happy smile still was on her face.
When Evie first arrived at Yukihime High School one month ago, she carried the hopes of her whole family.
She and her family lived in a poor neighborhood of Elffire City. Her father and mother worked as street food vendors to sustain their 3 children. Even though, the food that the couple sold well, it was barely enough to sustain the family of five. As the oldest child of the family, since she was a kid, Evie tried to help her parents the best she could. She would help them in the street vending and even take care of her little siblings and the house while her parents were working.
For such a young girl, Evie had a busy life so far.
But even after being so busy every day with homemaking, Evie still managed to get high grades at school. That's why when her middle school hometeacher advised her parents that Evie should take the scholarship exam to enter Yukihime High School, her parents immediately decided to have their daughter do this exam.
At first, Evie didn't care much about it. For her, the most important thing was to take care of her family. She didn't care if she passed or not.
But Evie was too much of a genius that she aced the exam and managed to get a 100% scholarship from the school.
When her family received this news, they were so static that they shared the news with everyone they knew.
Yukihime High School!
That was the most prestigious school in the state!
Everyone who studied there became successful afterward!
And now their little Evie was going to study there!
But contrary to everyone's excitement, Evie was troubled at first. She argued that the school was too far from their house and that she wouldn't be able to take care of the house like before.
It was only after a conversation that lasted hours that her parents and little brother and sister convinced her to go study at the Yukihime High School.
It was only after this conversation that Evie realized that the only way to help her family was if she became a successful person. She knew that she was intelligent, so she would accumulate knowledge in the prestigious school and strive to get a better life for herself and her family! But when she arrived for her first day of school, one month ago, Evie became intimidated by everything she saw. Everyone looked so elegant, fancy, and rich!
She became insecure as she saw so many wonderful things that her family would never be able to afford.
For the first school week, as soon as the classes ended, she would readily leave the school. She wasn't even present when the student council was elected.
It was only during the second week of the school year that she heard someone from her class commenting how he was rejected from the Delicious Food Fan Club.
Evie had a big secret, she had an insane passion for cooking. Growing up with parents who sold street food made her admire cooks like idols. Even during the few times she had free time for herself, she would watch cooking shows or online free cooking classes. And she would practice these recipes as she cooked the meal for her little siblings. All in all, Evie loved cooking from the bottom of her heart.
When she heard that such a club existed in Yukihime High School, Evie forgot all of her insecurities and fears. On that same day, she went to the Delicious Food Fan Club to apply to
Without any surprise, Evie easily passed the test that her senpais proposed after cooking a delicious dish.
That was how Evie saw that no one cared that she came from a poor family and that she was a scholarship student. Everyone welcomed her with open arms.
After decades since the scholarship program, the students found it normal that several scholarship students entered every year. So, they didn't even bat an eye for it.
As she opened her heart to school, Evie quickly made friends with several people in her classroom. But her favorite part of the school was still the Delicious Food Fan Club!
There she had amazing friends who taught so many amazing things to her! Plus, she could even practice these cooking techniques in the club! It was heaven on earth for her.
That's why she was so happy when her fellow club members complimented her idea. What could be better than compliments from people who we respect and admire?
She was also happy that the reason for her passion for culinary, street food, could be used by the club to win the competition.
Just like everyone else, Evie really wanted to win the upcoming club competition.
"Okay, we'll see street food, but we can't sell normal food. We have to put our style in this food. We have to produce things that will make the public's eyes shine." Olly commented.
Just like that, they brainstormed various street food dishes with their own style.
Everyone there had their own cooking style and the addition of all of them could result in something bad or something incredible.
But there was one certain fact, everyone in the Delicious Food Fan Club would give their all to win the club competition.
There were 10 days before the festival, would they be able to finish everything they wanted
