The cries of the diggers echoed throughout the bamboo grove .
I was so focused on digging the bamboo shoots that I couldn’t hear the sounds of others around me . All of my five senses had been honed to a degree where it was as if I could detect the presence of the bamboo shoots…! Not exactly, but before I knew it, there was a mountain of bamboo shoots in the wheelbarrow .
Hmph . There was no bamboo shoots that I couldn’t dig up!
However, I couldn’t sense anyone around me . It seemed that I had gone off quite a bit in my pursuit of more bamboo shoots .
The sound of the trumpet sounded far away .
It was the signal for everyone to gather together .
I took Sisie with me and we quickly returned to where everyone else was .
Most of the other students had already gathered together .
And there were so many bamboo shoots .
Speaking of which, what happened to the match?
I looked towards Angie and Marietta and my eyes widened with surprise .
Both of them had ama.s.sed a large mountain of bamboo shoots…but Angie’s mountain was easily twice as big .
Oh…even I would not have been able to collect so many .
It had looked like they were just playing, who would have known that she had it in her to collect so many…I was very impressed .
She must have been a bamboo shoot farmer in her past life .
As for my rival, master Alfred…
Master Alfred’s eyes met mine and he laughed . Then he thrust his chin towards Angie’s mountain of bamboo shoots .
He gave me a triumphant smile when I realized it .
So that’s what had happened…
Alfred had given all of his bamboo shoots to Angie .
But then why did he try to compete with me?
Also, even if Alfred had given all of his bamboo shoots to her, it still shouldn’t amount to that big a pile .
Where did all of those bamboo shoots come from…?
I look around me and catch sight of George .
But George wasn’t holding any bamboo shoots either .
As I stared at him for a while, George came walking up to me with an apologetic expression .
“I’m sorry . I was thinking about giving all of my bamboo shoots to you, but you were nowhere to be found . Angie asked me, so I gave them to her . ”
“Oh, is that right…I do not mind that, but I am surprised that you George, were rooting for Angie . ”
I had no idea that George liked Angie at all .
If anything, I thought he was closer with Marietta, as they often played jump rope together .
I asked him about this, and he looked confused .
“Root for? What do you mean?”
“Yes . Today is the fight between Angie and Lady Marietta . And you decided to side with Angie?”
My head was starting to hurt .
“George . Did you not hear the instructions this morning from Sandy?”
George’s eyes were s.h.i.+fting uneasily .
“Today was a compet.i.tion for them to see who could dig up more bamboo shoots . ”
Now George was sweating profusely .
“It is fine if you gave them to Angie, if you were supporting her, but to give them away without thinking at all…”
George’s face went pale .
“There is no point in apologizing to me . There is nothing to do now, anyway . But! If there is ever another match like this, I hope that you will think long and hard about which side you will be supporting as one of the judges . ”
However, I now had a vague idea of just why master Alfred had challenged me .
It was probably so that George could not give me any of his bamboo shoots .
However, I now had a vague idea of just why master Alfred had challenged me .
It was probably so that George could not give me any of his bamboo shoots .
I don’t know if me going so far off was within his calculations, but as I was very serious about this challenge, I would have likely refused to accept them anyway .
“Sorry to keep you waiting! We will now announce the final count! The winner of this match! It is Angie!!!”
Sandy’s voice boomed, and Angie began hopping around happily .
Marietta’s face was contorted with anger .
I really didn’t care about the winner, but master Alfred must have wanted Angie to win .
But again, I didn’t care .
Though, it also meant that master Alfred had already been captured by Angie, but what was surprising was that she even had time to go and do that .
After all, it did seem like she never left His Highness’ side .
But I also felt bad for poor Marietta .
And it was mostly George’s fault .
Indeed, it was more important than ever for me to create a place for ladies who have lost a match .
With this new resolve, I picked up my bamboo shoots .
Of course, it was to cook them with rice .
Though, I would need to remove the harshness first!
