👑 Delivery Coming Through, A Stealthy Snack, and Hope For Forgiveness 👑

"What is it? A delivery of silks from your home?" Kalim said as he looked over at the boxes.

"Oh, it's nothing so fancy. Um, my hometown produces a lot of apple based goods. So I suspect these are all, ah...apple juice." Epel said.

"Dude! Forget the Mostro Lounge, we could run our own drink stand with this much product!" Ace exclaimed now waking up the sleeping crow.

"Caw! How dare you wake me up! And I was having such a good dream too..." Kanzaburou said as he glared at Ace.

"Oh, there's a letter in one of the boxes. Let's see..." Epel mumbled as he picked up the letter and read it. "We had some unsold stock near its sell by date. You can share it with your friends at school. Fer cryin' out loud! Don't push yer stinkin' overstock on me, Meemaw! A...ahem. I mean, I can't believe they have so much they didn't sell." Epel quickly said as he cleared his throat.

"That's nice of her to send this to you." (Y/N) said as she looked over at the boxes.

"If they're sending you this much stuff, you must come from a real rich family." Deuce said.

"Huh?!" Epel said as he looked at the blue haired male in shock.

"Ooh, I think I get it. Are you so dedicated to your apple juice brand that it's all you want to drink?" Ace questioned.

"N...not at all, honest! Everyone's welcome to have some. It's 100% apple juice, no preservatives. It's loaded with vitamins, and Vil...probably won't yell at you for drinking it. Tastes real good, too!" Epel said.

"Yep. You're a total apple juice freak." Ace said.

"Ah, aha ha..." Epel laughed and smiled at them.

"Merci, Monsieur Pommette. I happily accept. Tell your family merci beaucoup on my behalf." Rook happily said.

"We can't leave the foyer blocked off with all these boxes. Let's get them to the lounge, at least." Jamil said as everyone started moving all the boxes to the lounge.

"I appreciate all of you helping with those boxes. Thanks, uh...very much." Epel said as he stared at the boxes in the lounge. "Why don't we open one up and quench our thirst?  The citric acid and polyphenol in apples works wonders for fatigue. It should be the perfect drink after a hard day of dancing and singing rehearsal...I think." He said as Deuce grabbed one of the bottles and opened it.

"Ooh. There's a nice, tangy apple smell already, and all I did was pop the cork." Deuce said.

"What a piquant aroma. I shall partake as well." Rook said as he drank some of the juice. "Why...c'est bon! This is exquisite, Epel!" He happily said.

"Let me try a sip." Kalim said as he tried the drink. "Ooh, that is good! It's like I'm drinking an apple in liquid form!"

"It's 100% apple juice, so that's literally what you're doing. Mm...it is quite good, though." Jamil smiled.

"You should try some too (Y/N)." Epel said as he handed the female a bottle.

"Thank you Epel." She said as She eyed the bottle curiously before drinking the juice. "It's so good, thank you!" She happily said as she grabbed a cup to give Kanzaburou some juice. "Here you go Kanzaburou, drink up."

"Y...you're welcome." Epel smiled as he watched as (Y/N) happily gave some to her crow.

"Caw! Thanks Tomioka sama." Kanzaburou said.

"If apple juice is all it took to make her that happy I should have done it first..."

"She looks even prettier when she smiles!"
