Chapter 399 Lunch Break

  Whether it's treating the wound or getting water for Eiri.

   Kato Yusuke's behavior has never been overstepped and unruly, just simply taking care of her.

   It is not only to repay the favor of the Sawamura family, but also related to the character of Yingli Li.

   Clumsy yet brilliant, childish yet pure and flawless.

   That's what makes people jealous, and therefore makes people lovable.

   In addition to her duplicity, she also likes to be brave, so she can't let it go, and she is instinctively willing to take care of her.

   As for Ying Lili's later twisting and sulking, he didn't take it to heart, after all, that was part of a girl's character.

   is like Shi Yu's mature black belly and Megumi's healing heart.

   As long as we start from the perspective of each person's character, then some behaviors are reasonable.

   And when I mentioned a certain senior, I couldn't help but think of the other person's evaluation of Eiri.

   - "Textbook-level arrogance".

   Kato Yusuke deeply agrees with this, and at the same time knows the relationship between the two who both recognize each other and are incompatible...

   After leaving the health room, I planned to return to the playground.

When    was about to walk out of the activity building, he happened to meet Leonard Spencer in a suit with suspenders.

   The other party was carrying a silk-print furoshiki full of bento, and was about to enter the room.

  The tall figure and the conspicuous appearance of foreigners are very eye-catching.

   Seeing him, Leonard Spencer took the initiative to say hello.

   "Oh! Isn't this Kato-san?"

   "Good afternoon, Mr. Reynard."

   Kato Yusuke stopped, first greeted him, and then asked, "Are you going to the infirmary?"

   "That's right, after all, it looks like Eri can't continue the game anymore, so Sayuri asked me to bring a lunch box from the car and prepare her to eat it in the health room. Do you want to come with me?"

   "Thank you, but sorry, I've already made an appointment with my friends, so I won't bother you."

   "Is that so."

   Leonard Spencer nodded, then said to him: "Then I won't be polite to you anymore, thank you for taking care of Yingri, brother Kato."

   "You're welcome." Yusuke shook his head at this, and then began to give directions, "The health room is the first room in the corridor on the first floor, you can see it when you go over."

"okay, I get it."

   The other party reached out and patted his shoulder, making an encouraging look.

   "Come on at the Games! As long as you don't do anything that makes Yingri sad, we will always treat you as family."

   After saying that, he raised his foot and walked forward.

   With his straight body and generous manner, he inadvertently showed the side of a diplomat.

   Kato Yusuke watched him leave, then turned around and walked out of the activity building and returned to the playground.

   helped the equipment group to pack up the props, and put the unused things into the sports warehouse.

   This is followed by a 1 hour 20 minute lunch break.

   Students will have lunch with their parents during this time to recharge for the afternoon team competition.

   Kato Yusuke took the key to the sports warehouse and walked through the campus alone, going to the canteen to buy some bread for lunch.

   Stroll to the atrium.

   Today's place is extraordinarily lively and crowded.

  The originally spacious space was covered with picnic cloths, crowded with students and parents.

  Some people were talking to their families, some people were watching the video on the camera, and some people were feasting on the sumptuous food in the bento box.

  The whole space is full of laughter and laughter, filled with colorful lights.

  Laughing and smiling is like a picnic during the cherry blossom viewing season.

   Yamaguchi, Takei, Kako,

   Shiyu-senpai, Nakano-senpai,

   Ahn Yee-ron, the baseball club's trio...

   Whether familiar or unfamiliar, they are having lunch with their families at the moment, which seems to be very enjoyable.

   Kato Yusuke stopped abruptly, turned his body silently, and prepared to enter the teaching building from the other side.

   At this time…

   "Yusuke?"

  Mei's figure appeared in front of him.

   "Didn't you go to deliver Eiri? Are you all right?" The girl turned her head to look at him, wearing a short-sleeved sportswear of the same color as him.

   Judging from the movement of wiping his hands with a handkerchief, he should have just returned from washing his hands.

   "Yes." Kato Yusuke nodded and replied, "Her parents are with her in the health room."

   "So oh~ so what are you doing now?"

   "Going to go to the grocery store."

   "Huh, canteen?"

"Um."

   "Hmm...Although I may have misunderstood."

   Megumin put away his handkerchief, raised his foot and stopped in front of him, with a bit of thought on his beautiful face.

   "...Could it be that, Yusuke, are you planning to eat bread at noon?"

   "There are not many people today, so there should be leftovers for fried noodles and curry bread."

   "...Isn't that kind of a problem?" The girl blinked her eyes, and there was a bit of annoyance in her peaceful voice.

At this moment-

  “—Xiaohui~~~~”

   The melodious voice of a mature woman came from behind.

   Kato Yusuke glanced back and saw a long-haired woman who looked to be about 20 years old, waving at this place.

   The appearance of the other party looks somewhat similar to Megumi with long hair, but he is more mature.

   and then withdrew his gaze.

   "Your family is calling you."

   "...Ah, so it is."

  Mei waved his hand there without emotion, and then said to him again: "...Well, because there are very troublesome people inside, so I won't invite you over this time, okay? Yusuke."

   Kato Yusuke looked at her, and he was slightly flustered when he heard the description of "troublesome person" from Megumi's mouth for the first time, but he didn't go into it, just nodded and replied with a good word.

   I thought the girl would just leave like this, but the other party spoke up again.

   "Hey, Yusuke, may I ask you?"

  “?”

   "Although there are very troublesome people..."

  Meeting his gaze, Hui put his hands behind his back, thought about it and asked softly, "Or...even so, are you willing to come?"

After    finished speaking, she became quiet.

   A pair of clear and indifferent beautiful eyes swayed slightly, and the soft grass behind her back was clenched together, and her white and tender fingers were gently bent inward.

  “…”

  “…”

   The two looked at each other.

   Blank time enveloped them.

   A brief silence.

   Kato Yusuke took the lead to look away and replied in a low voice, "...Thank you, no."

   "...Well, that's it, that's good." Megumin nodded in agreement, "Then I'll go first? See you in the afternoon, Yusuke."

"it is good."

   The two who greeted each other passed by.

   Kato Yusuke walked towards the main entrance of the teaching building, while Megumi came to the tree in the atrium and sat with her family.

   Seeing her coming back, the woman with long hair said hello.

  "Welcome back~"

   "...Well, I'm back, Sister Hongmei."

   "You're so slow, Megumi~"

   "...because I said hello to a friend."

   "Well~ I saw it, is that the boy with short white hair?"

   "...Didn't you see it all?"

   "Ah~~ why do you react like you're annoying? It's rare that I came here to cheer you on."

   "Oh~ I see. So can we eat now?" Megumi said so, looking at the food in the bento box, trying not to let her eyes meet someone.

   However, when this abnormal behavior fell into the eyes of her own sister... Kato Hiromi, things couldn't pass easily.

   "...What's your obvious rejection? Don't you want me to come?"

   "Why, there's no such thing~" Megumi said, turning to look at her parents, and changed the subject as if nothing had happened.

   "I always think...Is today's dishes very rich? Mom."

   Mrs. Kato smiled softly and responded, "After all, today is Xiaohui's first sports meeting in high school. Mom will work hard and eat more~"

   "Hmm~Thank you, Mom."

  The girl was no longer polite to this, she reached out and took a bacon-rolled cherry tomato wrapped with toothpicks from the food box, and took a bite.

   "Ah~ this is delicious~"

   Kato Hiromi watched this scene and spoke again.

   "I said ~ Hui."

  “…?”

   "What was that boy's name just now? Tell me about it~"

   A brief silence.

   "...Is that something that I have to tell my sister?"

   "If you want to say it... it's not worth the information to make you so angry that you will never disclose it?"

  “…”

   "Ah~ and I remember that the boy was the one who danced in the morning, right? What~ Is the other party the type that Xiao Hui likes?"

   "Uh~ sister, you are so annoying, could you please be quiet?"

   Facing this sister who is six years older than him, Megumi subtly wanted to keep a distance, but she also unintentionally exposed her weakness.

   Kato Hiromi continued to tease her sister with a playful smile.

   "So, what's the name of the boy in your order?"

   "Tell you, basically, not only did you add accents where it wasn't necessary, but you also had a big misunderstanding."

  Mei said in a troublesome and apologetic tone: "Why can we make such a strange guess when we only said one sentence?"

   "Hmm~~~~ Maybe it's because you keep covering up, making people feel suspicious, right? And..."

   Kato Hiromi added with a smile: "The phrase "just said one sentence" in your words is not necessary at all, it's a bit superfluous~"

"…Well."

  Mei was momentarily speechless.

   To her, the person in front of her is not only a relative who is more troublesome than her parents, but also a great pioneer who has made countless outrageous actions that made her a little dumbfounded.

   After all, from the time they were still living together at home, only she knew how many reasons the other party used to go out at night in order to stay with her boyfriend.

   It's like "going to a friend's house to study and prepare for the exam", "going to a friend's house to write a graduation thesis", "going to a friend's house to get together with girls" and so on...and so on.

   "In 90% of the truth, if you mix in 10% of the lies, you won't be able to easily get through the gang." - I couldn't help thinking of what the other party had taught me.

   She thought for a while, then put on a tone of indifference and a little impatient, and said.

   "...His name is Kato Yusuke, he's the student council president of our school, and he's also my classmate, that's all."

   "Hey~ that's how it is."

   Kato Hiromi glanced at her, nodded and said, "Hey, if you confessed earlier, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened at all."

   At this moment, the father of the two interjected.

   "Okay Hongmei, don't bully Xiaohui anymore, let's eat quickly."

  “Yes~~”

  The kind-faced Kato's father looked at his little daughter again, "Do you have a team game in the afternoon, Xiaohui? Dad, I brought a camera, and I will take it for you clearly."

   "Hey~~ No, it's so embarrassing." Hui said reluctantly.

   Upon seeing this, Mrs. Kato spoke out to help.

   "Really, don't put any strange pressure on the child's father, Xiaohui will be nervous."

   "Yes, is that so?"

  Mei didn't say anything to refute this, but just started eating silently...

  …

the other side.

   Kato Yusuke also came to the canteen in the teaching building, and successfully bought a fried noodles bread and curry bread.

   As expected, today's commissary business is very quiet, there is absolutely no popular scene on weekdays, and it is only open for the convenience of some students.

   Seeing him come to buy bread, the aunt who had nothing to do even gave him a coffee pudding, which was very enthusiastic.

  The kindness was difficult to accept, and Kato Yusuke also accepted.

   Then came to the first floor and bought a bottle of oolong tea from the vending machine in front of the cafeteria.

  Different from the commissary, the canteen is closed today.

   Kato Yusuke took bread and drinks, and was going to find a quiet place for lunch.

   His first choice was the Student Union Room.

   But don't want to go through the lively atrium corridor.

   So I decided to take the corridor on the second floor to the activity building.

   I went upstairs along the north stairs next to the cafeteria, but between the platforms on the first and second floors, I met an unexpected person.

   "Huh~ President Kato?"

  A petite girl was sitting alone on the steps, holding a bag of red bean bread and milk in her hand, eating silently here.

   Looking at each other, the other party also saw what was in his hand.

   A pair of smart eyes first blinked twice, then smiled.

   "What a coincidence~ Do you want to have lunch together? President~"

  “…”

   Kato Yusuke glanced at her and said, "Go to the student council room."

   Then continue up the stairs.

   "Okay~" Shinjoka nodded happily, stood up from the stairs, reached out and patted the dust behind his sports shorts, and then walked beside him with his hands behind his back.

   "I didn't expect to meet the president here~ I thought the president would have lunch with Sawamura-san and the others, so lucky~"

   "...Let's gossip less."

   "Yes~~ I'm just a little excited to see the president, sorry."

  “…”

  The two climbed the stairs together and walked towards the event building on the empty corridor.

  Even though there is a layer of glass, it can't stop the noise outside.

   "It's really lively outside."

   looked at Shinjoka outside the window and said, then turned around with a smile and asked, "Can I hold your hand? President~"

   She stretched out a hand, but was blocked by Kato Yusuke.

   "…go your way, or go back."

   "I'm not going back~~ After all, I don't have a place to go except the president's place~"

   "Then be quiet."

   "Okay~~"

  …
