At Helbram's house....

Evangeline’s cleaning the house while Mikhail just came home.

“Oh? Mikmik, you're home! Has the contest started?”

Mikhail looks exhausted.

“Not yet mimi. The quiz bee will be held next week.”

“I see.”

“Oh? Mikhail, I have a question. Are visitors— no, an outsider such as myself, can enter?”

The boy looks surprised and doesn't want his mother to say that, still he keep his cool.

“Of course mom! Don't say such things like that! Also, the campus is open for all! After all, the most awaited roleplay about Liam, the Earth Shepherd’s tragic story is hosted in our school.”

Evangeline gasped. “Oh! That looks promising! I love to see such theatric shows, especially concerning our history!”

She looks excited.

“Anyway, when will it’ll aired?”

Mikhail looks at the calendar.

“According to the program posted by the SSC– it’ll be held on next week, Friday, 1 P.M. sharp.”

Evangeline clasped both hands.

“Ooh! Can’t wait for that!”

Her joyful expression suddenly shifts to gloomy and Mikhail noticed.

“Mimi, what’s wrong?”

“Back then, your brother’s dad is anticipating to watch such roleplay. He may be a busy man but I can tell that he was looking forward and never missed any of it when we were still a loving couple.”

She felt sad remembering her past.

“But, by the time I gave birth to your brother, he passed away due to an accident which— is eerily odd he was the only one died though."

She makes a fidgeting motion of her thumbs.

"He's so excited to greet your brother when I'm still pregnant.”

Mikhail didn’t speak.

“Anyway, I'd better stop reminiscing the past. If he was here, I'm sure he'll try his best to cheer me up."

Evangeline clears her throat.

"Now, back to the main topic. *cough* I heard that Rose and her officers were organizing this event!”

“Surely, that girl’s amazing.”

“Agreed.”

Evangeline smile and she seemed surprised of the boy's early arrival.

“Mikmik, you came home early. Is there anything that interest you?”

Mikhail removes his shoes and place them in a shoe rack.

“Well, the only thing I’m anticipating is the quiz bee and the roleplay. Beyond that? None.”

“I see.”

“Hmm… Speaking of cultural fest, I heard that your brother joins cafeteria.”

“How did I know? Well, he messaged me that he’ll be staying at their Class President Residence for 2 weeks.”

Mikhail raised a brow. “Oh? He did?”

“No wonder I feel something’s missing.”

“Oh, Cafeteria huh? That sure brings back memories!”

 She smiled.

“I used to join as a maid back then and I really like how peaceful the ambience is.”

She looked at him.

“I didn’t expect your brother decided to join that.”

Mikhail let out a smug. “Yeah, me too. I thought he'd join again at Sci-Math Quiz Bee Competition so he could solo all the rewards for himself but it seems my calculations are wrong, this time."

*clears throat* "So, mom, would you like to visit where brother worked on? I.. I could lead you there!”

Evangeline let out a brimming smile.

“Hmm… As much as I want to but perhaps I’ll consider visiting next Friday.”

“Ya’know, killing two birds in one stone?”

Mikhail put his hat on the hat rack.

“I see… I understand.”

At Sydney’s house….

“Alright, this will be a little trickier since it is my first time doing this on other person, but mark my words, I’ll transform you into something that no one would expect!”

Helbram looks suspicious.

“Maan.. Why do I feel chill down my spine?”

Sydney grabbed her cosmetics.

“Don’t worry, you’re in a good hand!”

And so, the make-up transformation begins.

Once the make-up’s done, she told Helbram to undress himself and Sydney takes on the tape and plaster it to boy's chest, mimicking a natural chest.

Helbram’s surprised and just comply.

Later…

Sydney wipes her sweat.

“Alright! I’ve did whatever I could and look at that! You look stunningly beautiful!”

Helbram’s face is not shown.

“I can’t believe this! What in Tophet is that level of skill?!”

Sydney rubs her nose.

“I guess you lost our bet huh?” She looks excited. “Now, all you have to do is fulfill what we’ve agreed till we graduate, geddit?”

“Damn it! I can’t believe I waged on ya!”

Sydney rubs her nose, again.

“Like I always said, I never lose on a bet. Especially when it comes to cosmetics!”

She felt relieved.

“Oh yeah? I forgot to ask. Will you do that voice acting of yours? Just for testing.”

Helbram speaks and she’s scratching her cheeks.

“Hmm.. sounds a little masculine. Could you make it lightly soft?”

Helbram speaks once more and Sydney is flabbergasted.

She gives a thumbs up.

“Alright! You’re all set! It’s time to go.”

1 P.M.

“Hello guys! We’re so back!”

Sydney greets them gleefully and Café Staff 1 sees them.

“Welcome back Pres Sydney and Sir Hel– !”

Suddenly, a beautiful maid came in and most of the male staffs blushed and the female ones jaw dropped.

“Wait… is that-- Helbram?!” Café Staff 2 looks shocked and Helbram replies.

“I am!”

All the Café Staff females were stunned.

“Wow! His voice acting’s great.” Café Staff 3 approaches Sydney.

“Pres Sydney, are you sure this is Helbram?”

Sydney nods.

“Yes my ladies and gentlemen! This is legit Helbram!”

They checked again and suddenly –

“Come on! Don’t get closer! Ya’ll making it weird!”

Thus, they’re all shocked and the Café staff 1 reacted.

“Can’t believe it! She's really HIM!”

Café Staff 2 looks at Helbram again.

“Pres Sydney, your make-up skills are a whole new level!”

“Oh stop it you guys! Don’t make me flatter.”

She stopped blushing and clap.

“Alright everyone! Time to set up! We’ve got minutes left till opening, so move, move, move!”

They all salute.

“You, Helbram, just sit there and do nothing.”

“Fine.”

Helbram just give himself a rest.

“And oh, keep that voice acting of yours till the end of the shift, geddit?”

Helbram rolls his eyes.

“Fine! Fine! I get it! Just… let me be at peace.”

And so, everyone starts preparing.

“This is way uncomfortable.” He wondered. “Who would’ve thought having a double-layered artificial lash could be this heavy?” He complained.

“Also, Pres Sydney wants me to wear a long-haired wig and my chest felt like squished because of that bra and tapes.”

He breathes.

“Not gonna lie, it feels uncomfortable. Not just that but she also wants me to wear a 3-inch high-heel shoes and added 1-inch fake nails.” He felt uncomfortable.

“Maan! This is torture! I don’t get why women likes to wear these! No wonder Rose likes to act a Lesbian because being a girl is too much!”

He looks at them.

“And I have to do this for 2 weeks?! Give me break!”

Later…

The cafeteria opens and surprisingly, their first customer were Fredrick and his buddies. Helbram grossed out but tend to comply.

“Hey, Pres Sydney? Where’s Helbram? I don’t see him anywhere! Did he, perhaps, run away?!”

Frederick jokes and they all laughed.

Suddenly, he saw Helbram on the corner but unaware it was him.

“Hey, you chick over there! Come here and serve us!”

Helbram draws near.

“Hello lovely sirs, this is Senior High Cafeteria. What service would you like us to offer?”

Buddy 1 can't stop staring at him and to hide his idolization, he acts sour.

“Where’s your damn menu? Can’t you all be – ”

Helbram already expected it so, he offered them the menus.

“Here’s the menu, lovely sirs. Take your time ordering.”

While they’re ordering, Fredrick can’t get off his eyes from Helbram.

“Who in Tophet is this chick? She’s so gorgeous!” He wondered.

Helbram noticed Fredrick’s been staring at him. So, he looked at him and wink, making him blush.

Minutes later….

Helbram finished listing their orders.

"I have listed all your orders, lovely sirs. Please be patient with us!”

Helbram’s going to leave but then, Fredrick hold his arm.

“I want you to be the only one who’ll serve our orders, beautiful lady.”

Helbram grossed out so he raised his arm in girly manner. 

“I, Helena, will adhere to your plea.”

He left and Fredrick’s buddies start gossiping.

“Damn dude! That Helena chick is so beautiful! I want to get her number!”

Buddy 1 expressed and Buddy 2 reacted.

“No fair! She’s mine bro! Can’t you see she winked at me?!”

They’ve become noisy, disturbing other customers so Helbram puts his finger on his lips.

“Please no shouting within the cafeteria, masters!”

He warns and they apologized. Helbram took their orders to the chefs and Sydney goes to him, whispering.

“It seems that Fredrick didn’t recognize you.”

Helbram roll his eyes.

“It is and it disgust me.”

Sydney giggles. “Hey, hey... Chill! Just act your role and he won’t suspect a thing.”

He sighs. “I really wanna play his feelings but I’m in no mood to do that. So, I can’t wait for those thugs to leave.”

Sydney pats him.

“Hey, don’t be like that to our customers?”

Helbram just shake his head.

Later….

“Here are your orders, masters.”

He placed them accordingly.

“Enjoy your food.”

Fredrick tugged Helbram's clothes.

“Wait, may we have the honor to get your contacts? Your social media?”

Helbram felt grossed out.

“I’m sorry, but according to the rules here in Cafeteria, our staffs are forbidden to share our personal information to our customers. Please do abide the rules, dear masters.”

Helbram left and Buddy 1 looks disappointed.

“Oh shucks man! What a let-down!”

Later…

Fredrick and his buddies made their leave.

“Thank you for visiting us, dear masters!”

Helbram gave them a flying kiss and some of Fredrick’s buddies were heart struck.

“Too bad boss, we found no trace of that nerd there! Perhaps he swapped places with their other shift.”

Buddy 1 looks disappointed and Frederick clicked his teeth.

“I agree. Tch! What a let-down. I want to make fun of that nerd so bad though.”

“But hey? At least we got selfie on that chick!”

Buddy 2 shows their picture with Helbram and Buddy 3 looks hyped.

“Yeah! Wouldn’t you agree boss?”

Fredrick keeps staring at his pic with Helbram.

“Helena, huh?”

Back at Cafeteria…

Sydney congratulates Helbram.

“Wow! Your acting is a whole different story Helbram! Great job fooling them!”

Helbram scratches his cheeks.

“I merely do a thing.” He said. “Perhaps they’re just blinded on how amazing your work of make-up that is.”

Sydney let out a confident smug.

“Hey, hey! Don’t flatter me too much or I’ll melt!”

“Then, I’ll just put you in freezer so you will become solid again.”

Helbram crosses his arms and Syndey glares.

“That’s one heck of a nasty pun, Helbram.”

Later….

The day has ended, the cafeteria staffs bid each other’s farewell. Sydney let out a great exhale.

“WOAH! What a day!” She said. “I can’t believe your transformation could blow up our cafeteria’s reputation!”

“Well, I guess it was all thanks to your outstanding skill in make-up, Pres.”

Sydney felt embarrassed.

“Oh come on, don’t flatter me any further Helbram or I’ll smack your head due to excitement.”

Helbram rolls his eyes.

“Whatever.”

“Anyways, I haven’t seen Rose lately.”

Helbram looks around. “Yeah, that’s what it means to be SSC Pres. Too busy in everything, especially when there’s an event.”

“Yeah…. Glad I didn’t win from that position though.” She smiled.

“So, let’s rest for tonight. We still have to repeat the same procedure we did today.”

Helbram puffed his cheeks.

“Yeah, yeah… I know.”

And so, Helbram and Sydney continue doing their daily routine for two weeks. But in that span of time, a lot has happened.

First, when Mikhail’s quiz bee is up, Helbram’s watching in a live broadcast. The moment he won, Helbram let out a loud cheer, shocking the entire cafeteria.

He was in Goth Butler attire so it’s still fine. That behavior of his made the girls fell harder.

Second, the grand finale of Culinary contest is up. It started in morning and it ended in afternoon. The battle’s intense but thankfully, Bryan secured a 3rd place.

Rose did everything so the event goes smoothly.

As for Helbram, he did as what he is meant to do.

Though, at every end of the day, he’s all beat up, like he went into war or something. But throughout those rough days, finally, it is the last day of their school’s cultural fest.

Also, the awaited moment of the Roleplay has come.

At noon…

Evangeline and Mikhail were at the entrance.

As expected, there are lots of people attending.

“I guess you were right, Mikmik. A lot of people are eager to watch the roleplay of Liam, the Earth Sphered’s Tragic Story.”

Mikhail is licking his ice cream.

“Told ya!”

Evangeline looked around.

“With this much crowd, are we still be able to watch it?”

“Don’t worry mom, with Rose’s performance lately as SSC Pres., the school earned great reputation thus, big-time sponsors came and donated important stuffs for the school.”

“Which means, there are bunch of big TVs installed within the campus.”

Evangeline's eyes widened.

“Wow! That’s one heck of a great achievement!”

Mikhail fixes his eyeglasses. “She sure is.”

He looked at his mom.

“Mimi, the roleplay starts around 1 P.M. , let us stroll in the food stall section and their entertainment area.”

And so, they start strolling.
