"Sienna!" I sobbed in her arms the day before the party.

"He burned my clothes and running shoes," I played with her arm.

"There, there." She ruffled my head when she got up on her tippy toes.

"Enna, I know you're always on my side," I rubbed my face on her clothes, making them wrinkled.

"I heard what happened, in fact, everyone here did," Delia walked up to us.

"It was quite aggressive of them to mention the upcoming trade deal, but they had no choice with what happened," she hugged the untaken arm of Sienna.

"You guys are exaggerating this," I hid myself behind Sienna.

"It's actually a big deal," Ben came up to us.

"In fact, we helped them cover the rest of the incident with some other upcoming news," He sighed from the headache of handling the gossip.

"From taking a t-shirt off?" I whimpered to appear more pitiful.

They were making a pretty big deal from just pulling up my t-shirt that had a tank top underneath. I had to continuously listen to Luke's lecture before escaping to come to this meeting whenever we were alone together.

My meetings were Shelly and Ellen got cancelled as they suddenly got busy. It was clear they were using the space-time barrier to conduct more meetings. At the end, I couldn't even refuse Luke's nagging out of guilt when he appeared to be losing sleep with the rest of the fraction to cover for this incident.

My assumptions became confirmed when Shelly blushed from a tiny yawn during class. Ever since I kicked myself out of his fraction, I was never invited to any of their meetings anymore. Although, I was only invited once before kicking myself out.

When most of the members sat in their respective seats, I sat down on my own beside Sienna and on my other side was Ben. I was excited to report the results of my expedition with Sienna. I stored a couple of samples of the drinks we personally made in the winery that we were going to report on today.

"The first thing on the agenda is covering for one of our members," Alice led today's meeting as well.

Well, it was a surprise. I never knew even the neutral fraction would talk about it in their meetings where only necessary items were included. I clung tighter on Sienna's arm as I waited for Alice to finish the first item.

"Some of the news was diverted by increasing the intensity of other rumors of the rights to secure land in the sixth district," one of the high school students reported.

"We also increased the tension between the minor fractions," Henry added.

"And raised suspicions about the lack of control another major fraction has over appointing their new leader," Ben finished off what they tried to do.

"So how much is it covered?" Alice turned to ask all the members.

"Even with the help of the most powerful fraction, it couldn't be fully contained," Alice concluded from the silence that loomed over the room.

The amount of news to cover up the incident was unbelievable. This could easily top the headlines on the newspapers if they were revealed in my past life. But, wouldn't it be fully hidden if something as 'scandalous' as my incident like the revolutionary drinks we created was to be revealed?

I stood up to interrupt Alice who discussed other strategies with the members around her so they could cut the gossip. They lifted their heads in amazement from me breaking the protocols during the meeting. But I knew we wouldn't be going anywhere with this rate.

I pulled out the goblets as Sienna couldn't take her sights off the delicious drinks that called her with its fragrant aroma. I placed one tiny shot in front of each member with my mana as the glasses wobbled from the lack of my control. The smell instantly overtook the room like we were inside a flower field full of vibrant, blooming wildlife.

"These are the drinks Sienna and I personally created from brewing mana inside," I announced.

"Brewing mana?" Ben questioned me, unbelieving.

"Try it," I passed the cup closer to him.

Ben studied the glass after his eyes lit up from the unique taste that left a pleasant aftertaste instead a bittersweet end. The other members mumbled praises of the new invention as Sienna and I smiled from our accomplishment. The drinks appeared prettier than the basic beverages I remembered downing during social week.

The petals made the beverage appear it was blooming inside the cup like it was still alive. Sienna transferred most of the finished goods to me since she claimed she would drink all of them on her own otherwise.

"This is extraordinary in how it replenishes a tiny portion of your mana," A member exclaimed.

It did? I was surprised they had no such things such as potions from all the mana present in this land. Maybe it was because of their advanced technology that had no need for these kinds of things. The table was filled with more chatter until Alice had to remind them several times that they had to get to the other items in the agenda.

When the clatter had calmed down, they looked at me in a new light where if I was a troublemaker before, I was actually valuable to them now.
