The morning classes quickly passed, and August found himself reliving his student life from the past.

However, the feeling now was completely different compared to his previous self.

Before travel, high school was the most exhausting period of his life. He finished all the courses in the first half of his first year and started learning second-year knowledge in the second half.

For this, he had to borrow books from upperclassmen to have more time for revision before the college entrance exam.

Now, with a playful mindset, August faced much less pressure in his studies in this world.

As the bell rang for the lunch break, a large group of female students approached August.

Their intention was to have lunch together with August, but he declined them all, citing prior commitments.

August then left the classroom and went straight to the student council.

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

"Come in."

After knocking, August heard Sona's voice from inside.

August pushed the door open and entered. In the student council, Sona was reviewing some documents. August felt quite moved, it was already noon, and she was still working.

"Hey, good afternoon, Sona."

"Hmm? August? Why are you here?"

Seeing August, Sona was surprised. She hadn't expected August to return.

"Well, I had nowhere else to go. You're the only one I know in the entire school, so I came to find you."

"Oh? I heard something. Our school has a new prince, far surpassing the school previous prince. Girls are lining up to find you."

"Stop gloating. I've had enough trouble this morning."

"If other guys hear this, they'll definitely want to strangle you."

"No choice. It's just my charm."

Sona sighed. She had come to understand some of August's personality.

Although he was noble and the only descendant of demon clan, holding a transcendent position in the Underworld comparable to her own father, he was quite casual, almost lazy.

However, he was someone you could get along with, and he would extend a helping hand when needed.

"By the way, Sona, can you help me with something?"

"Go ahead."

"I just arrived in the human world, so I don't know much about things here. Can you help me buy a few smartphones, the highest configuration, the best performance?"

"Smartphones?"

"Yeah, and also some computers. Get me a few with the best configurations and performance."

"Uh…"

Sona suddenly remembered something. This guy was known for living a reclusive life in the Underworld.

Ever since he took over the demon clan, it seemed like he hadn't left his territory much. Now, in the human world, he was asking for smartphones and computers, which made Sona subconsciously think of the otaku community in this country.

Otaku.

Can't blame her for overthinking, August really resembled them too much, and he had a history.

"What's wrong? Are you in trouble? If so, I'll go buy them myself."

"No problem. How many do you need?"

"Hmm, let's go with five phones and five computers."

"Why do you need so many?"

"Well, it's obvious. Everything needs a backup."

"Backup four times?"

"I have money."

He took out the bank card given by Sirzechs. August checked it and found one billion yen inside. 

"That's not what I meant."

Sona was somewhat helpless, covering her forehead. After all, she was a princess of the Sitri family, how could she be short of money? For her, money had lost its meaning and was just a number.

"Alright, I'll prepare everything for you. I'll have them sent to you in the evening."

"Sure, Sona. As expected, you rely on friends when going out."

Sona wanted to complain instinctively. The number of times he actually went out was scarce.

"Okay, as a return favor, I'll treat you to lunch."

Sona subconsciously wanted to refuse because her peerage had already gone to get lunch.

But the next moment, she saw a variety of delicious dishes appearing on the student council's table.

Top-notch steaks, seafood soup, exquisite desserts like tiramisu, various cream puffs, daifuku, and more.

"You..."

"Come over and eat together. If it's not enough, I have more here."

Saying that, August took out a whole lamb skewers, roasted suckling pig, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted fish, and a bunch of other hearty dishes.

"President, I'm back to eat..."

Coincidentally, Shinra Tsubaki walked in, and then she saw a table full of food and desserts.

Now, Shinra was stunned. Goodness, so much food. Was there a feast?

"You're back. Let's eat together."

"Lord August? Why are you here?"

"I came to have lunch with you guys."

"This is lunch?"

Shinra broke into a cold sweat. So many dishes for three people? They couldn't finish it in a day.

"August, where did you get all this?"

"I had it prepared in advance. Besides food, I also have drinks."

He took out coke, sprite, orange juice, milk, 82 Lafite, and a jar of premium white wine.

This left Sona and Shinra speechless.

Are you really come to study?

Isn't this too much food and drink for a casual meeting?

"There's too much. How can we finish all of this?"

"Well, Sona, why don't you call your peerage? Let's eat together. It'll be lively with more people."

"We can only do that. Shinra, go call everyone. It's also a chance for everyone to meet August."

"Yes, President."

Shinra nodded and went to find the others.

"August, what were you thinking, carrying so much food and drink with you?"

"Well, this. I've had it stored in my personal space for a long time. In my space, time is frozen, so no matter when I take it out, it looks just like when I put it in. So, I brought a bunch of food."

"You..."

Sona was speechless. Although magical spaces for storing items were not uncommon in the Underworld, one dedicated to storing food was quite unique.
