Mia’s Diary of Delusional Dreams

The Fourth Day of the Fifth Month

Now that the student council elections are over, I can enjoy my meals in peace.

Today’s dish was sauteed moon turkey. The mushrooms on top were juicy and really good. Desert was a tart made from continental strawberries. Now I’ve officially tried everything on the academy’s desert menu. Mission complete.

I feel like we need some more variety though. Time to see how my plan to overhaul the cafeteria menu is going. The people demand reformation!

The Fifth Day of the Fifth Month

Today, I had some really rich fettuccine Alfredo. There’s a slight tartness to it that keeps the flavor interesting. I just can’t get enough of it. A masterpiece. Highly recommended!

For desert, I decided to start at the top of the menu again and do another lap. Which means I had Belluga chestnut cake. It’s shaped like a little mountain and covered in lots of chestnut sauce, which makes my tummy happy.

Cake really is the king of all foods, isn’t it?

The Sixth Day of the Fifth Month

Today, I tried this stuff called “fruit salad.” It had lots of sweet fruits, which were really tasty. The honey-based dressing was really good too. It is called a “salad,” which originally put me off. I regret this lapse in judgment. So I’ve made a resolution to keep an open mind and be more adventurous with trying out food.

The Eighteenth Day of the Fifth Month

I’ve been writing about nothing but food lately, so I decided to be serious and write a proper entry today.

After receiving Ludwig’s message, I immediately began the journey back to the capital. Currently, I’m in my carriage, and we’re a few days away from Lunatear. The journey must have taken a toll on me or something, because I don’t remember drifting off, but I woke up in Anne’s lap. I had a wonderful dream while I was sleeping though.

In my dream I was a schoolteacher! There was this really big library. It was magnificent. Made Saint-Noel’s look like a joke in comparison. There were lots of flowers decorating the place, and there were books from wall to wall. Oh, if only it hadn’t been a dream, or I’d bring Chloe and Elise and show them the place. They’d love it. It was that amazing.

Anyway, I was there teaching lots and lots of people. Even that stupid four-eyes who always makes fun of me was impressed by how smart I was. Imagine that! Ludwig admitting defeat! Oh, sweet moons, it felt so good! So so good!

Frankly, I always thought that teaching other people stuff sounded like a chore, but now that I’ve tried it, it’s actually pretty easy. I must be a natural, because everyone was solving their equations so quickly. Whenever I explained something, they got it immediately. It was that simple.

It’s honestly a little scary how brilliant I am.

And it got me thinking. I never considered the idea before, but maybe I’d actually be a pretty good teacher. It feels like an option worth exploring. The dream felt particularly real too. I might have an innate gift for this kind of thing. With my expert instruction, maybe the research into cold-resistant wheat will go faster too!

I should discuss this with Ludwig. I’m sure he’ll be on board.

The Eighteenth Day of the Fifth Month, Night

My plan to personally wield the pointing stick at my academy has unfortunately fallen through. Anne was opposed to the idea on the basis that it’d make me too busy and she was worried about my health. Understandable, but still, it’s a shame.

I must say though, she was adamant. I’ve never seen her try so hard to stop me from doing something. She must really care about my health.

I’m so lucky to have her.

In any case, that’s that. If Anne says no, then it’ll have to be a no. I suppose I’ll clean up all the other problems first, like the famine and the Chaos Serpents and stuff, and once I have some more free time, I’ll give this idea some thought.

After all, it’d be a terrible waste to let all my talent for being an educator go unused.
