#066 Ruby’s Diet

It was a refreshing morning in many ways. It could be said that I was in the most comfortable state since entering the second semester, having overcome the crisis of club closure once and not having any notable concerns.

“Ha-am, I slept well.”

The effects of the citrine coffee had all disappeared, so I was able to sleep and wake up feeling refreshed.

Since I didn’t have any classes to attend on holidays, I naturally changed into my maid uniform and opened the windows wide.

‘Now that I think about it, the birds haven’t been visiting these days.’

A few days ago, small birds sat around this window every morning and chirped that they were hungry, so I broke up some homemade cookies and left them there.

Strangely, I could not see any small birds after that day. That’s probably because migratory birds change locations frequently.

I enjoyed a moment of relaxation while brewing some warm black tea to drink lightly in the morning.

I’ve been thinking about trying other desserts lately. Things like Ruby’s favorite pudding and egg tarts.

Of course, there is a long way to go now, but I think we will be able to do it gradually.

At that time, I heard a scream from behind and my body flinched.

“aaahhh… !”

Ruby’s scream echoes clearly in the room. It was said that it was not normal for Ruby, who was always calm, to scream.

I stopped what I was doing and quickly got up and ran towards where she had screamed.

“What’s going on, lady…” !”

“I… The seat in front of the weight… “

Ruby stood on her scale, shaking and looking at her numbers.

“… Amber, what do you think? “Do you think I’m fat?”

“Umm… “

I opened her eyes and looked closely at her ruby silhouette.

Now that I think about it, the young lady’s jawline has become slightly rounder these days and it seems like the thin line she used to have has disappeared.

In addition to the bad habit of lying down during vacation, the recent binge eating of pudding seems to have been the cause.

As I was contemplating an answer, I cautiously opened my mouth.

“It looks like it’s a little steamed…” ?”

“That can’t be possible…” “

After hearing my answer, Ruby flopped down on her floor.

“I am finished. If I keep going like this, I’ll end up with a three-digit weight lump of fat… “

I thought about her as I watched her despair.

‘It’s strange. Apparently the original Ruby was extremely thin around this time of year.’

It occurred to me that maybe the fact that I was next to her Ruby was the problem.

In her original work, Ruby is a villainous daughter who is always wary of her surroundings and gets on her nerves whenever she gets the chance. Due to her twisted personality, she must have always suffered from chronic stress.

But because I stayed by her side, she grew into a noble lady with a fairly exemplary personality and behavior.

Now that she is no longer a villainous girl, she no longer has to be stressed, so she must have felt much more at ease.

As I continued to eat without worrying about anything, it was natural for me to gain weight.

‘If you think about it, I guess I’m responsible as well.’

I held out my hand to her and spoke with her expression filled with determination.

“I’ll help you lose weight, girl. Let’s do our best together!”

“… Really? “Amber will you help me?”

“Of course. “I’m your maid, right?”

It was I who allowed her to develop this lifestyle. So, I guess I have to take responsibility.

“Okay. “I’ll try my best…”

Thus began the effort to restore Ruby’s weight to its original state.

I made Ruby sit on the chair and took out all the pudding in the room and put it on the table.

“Starting today, I’m going to throw away all the pudding. “You feel the need to do that, too, right?”

“… “Is there even a need to throw it away?”

“Of course we have to throw it away! “If you don’t, you won’t be able to hold it in again and will run wild.”

Ruby said with a despairing expression as she threw all the puddings into the trash can right before her eyes.

“My puddings… “

“Please be patient. “When your weight returns to normal, I will let you eat again.”

Once the biggest cause was physically removed, the root cause remained.

If Ruby doesn’t change her overall lifestyle habits, even if she loses weight, she will quickly gain it back.

“First of all, it’s eating habits. Miss, you only eat two meals a day, right?”

“That’s usually the case. “I don’t eat breakfast most of the time, and sometimes I don’t eat lunch if I feel lazy.”

Ruby did not eat regularly, and she had a habit of overeating at one meal.

“Starting today, I will make sure to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner.”

“What? Then you won’t gain any more weight… ?”

“It depends on how much you eat. Do not worry. “There are many people around us looking for help.”

When thinking about regular eating habits, the first thing that comes to mind is diamonds.

I saw her every day, as if she was stuck in a routine, eating at a set time and following the exact portion size.

I took the young lady’s hand and went to the dormitory room where Diamond and Amethyst were staying.

Dia listened to our story seriously and nodded her head trustingly.

“Yes. If that’s the case, please leave it to me. “I am confident in calculating calories.”

“Thank you, Diamond!”

“… “Umm.”

Ruby was reluctant to leave her diet to her Diamond, but she didn’t have much of a choice.

Dia looked at the clock and said with a smile.

“It’s time for lunch in 5 minutes. Shall we go to the restaurant together?”

We headed to the restaurant according to the meal schedule set by DIA.

‘Delicious smell… ‘Are you eating today?’

A delicious smell is wafting from outside the restaurant. The academy’s cafeteria was crowded with students even on weekends.

It has always been very popular as it offers unlimited, high-quality, delicious meals.

I first picked up the tray and put as much food as I could eat, and then Ruby picked up her tongs.

Dia stopped her hand and took the tongs away and said.

“Wait a minute. “I’ll give Ruby something to eat.”

“… Okay.”

Ruby, with a very dissatisfied expression, quietly waited for Dia to serve her food.

After a while, Dia said as she placed Ruby’s tray down on her table.

“After calculating Ruby’s height and weight, this is a meal with the exact number of calories needed.”

What was put on the plate were two pieces of lettuce and one egg.

The amount was so small that even I was a bit surprised, so of course Ruby couldn’t stay still.

“Dia, are you kidding me… ? “How are you supposed to fill your stomach with something like this?”

“Yes? That’s her amount of ruby. “Her calculations were correct.”

Even on Dia’s plate, there was only half an egg. Not one, just half.

I looked at it and asked her with a puzzled look on her face.

“I usually only eat that much, Diamond… ?”

“Yes. “These are just the calories you need to survive.”

After waking up from a miserable meal, we said thank you to Diamond and parted ways.

“Thank you for your help, Diamond… “

“Not much to say. Also, if you need my help, please come anytime.”

After I let her go, I was lost in her deep thoughts.

‘I can’t leave it to Diamond…’ ‘

I felt like I needed to find another mentor.

Dia’s method may be perfect in theory, but if she fed Ruby this diet every day, she would definitely get sick from the stress even before she lost the weight.

‘Who else is good at self-management?’ ?’

At that time, with good timing, she ran into Amethyst, who had just finished eating.

“Hello! Ruby and Amber, what are you doing here?”

Although she was known to be a glutton, for some reason she had a slim body without any flab.

‘Okay, if it’s Amethyst… !’

I asked her, her face filled with hope.

“Ame, how much do you eat at one time?”

“Um… About 3 servings? But why is that happening all of a sudden?”

“It’s amazing… ! “If she eats like that, is she able to maintain that body shape?”

As I looked at him with reverence, Amethyst looked at us closely and smiled brightly.

“I understand why you are asking. “Are you worried about your weight?”

“Yes… ! That’s right!”

“Okay. I’ll tell you a secret. Follow me.”

Amethyst took the lead and started walking somewhere, and I grabbed her hand.

“Thank goodness, lady! If you follow Ame’s secrets, you might be able to lose weight!”

“… “Will it really be that easy?”

“First of all, you have to get to the bottom of the scale. Now, follow me.”

The place we arrived at, almost dragging Ruby who didn’t want to go, was a large open space in the backyard of the academy.

A large and spacious vacant lot that is usually used as a place for students to practice combat.

“Ame. “Is this really the right place?”

As I looked at her with puzzled eyes, Amethyst nodded her head confidently.

“Yes! “If you just follow what I tell you from now on, you will be able to have fun and lose weight.”

What a fun diet. Could the two words coexist?

Amethyst extended one hand to each of Ruby and I and said.

“You both take my hand.”

As soon as he held her hand, Amethyst shouted loudly.

“Come on, run over there!”

“Yes? “Suddenly?”

Ruby and I had no choice but to be dragged awkwardly by Amesheet, who suddenly increased his speed without any time to say anything.

Ruby, out of breath on the way, tapped her shoulder and said,

“Amethyst… ! Take a break… !”

“What? It’s only been 5 minutes. “Nobles lack willpower.”

“It’s willpower and all, but I’ll die before then!”

She had no choice but to run through her clearing until she was in tatters, held by Amethyst’s hand.

‘But why do I have to run too…? ?’

The price of trying to achieve easy weight loss was too harsh.
