38 – Do you want to eat lunch together?

Even the devil would cry for normal classes on the day of the opening ceremony.

So you can take a rough look at the class for today. It’s all because of bad teachers. No fault of mine Cancer, no way.

Especially now, right before lunch time. It was a time when he lost his concentration even more.

Looking around, there seemed to be half the kids like me who had decided to listen. And the kids who decided not to listen at all occupied the other half.

Except for one person, Ina.

I looked at Ina with her sidelong glance.

Ina was taking notes in her notebook, taking down everything her teacher was saying. For me, it’s just great.

After class, it was time for lunch.

I was about to head to the restaurant when I saw someone waving at me in the hallway. As for who that someone was, it was, of course, Sarah.

What are you doing again? She stood still for a moment, then spoke to Ina, who was sitting next to her.

“Over there.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Do you want to come with me for a while?”

Ina smiles.

“What is it? Do you want to eat together today? Were you that lonely?”

“No, not that. It looks like Sera is calling from over there.”

As I pointed with her finger and told her, Ina’s gaze turned to my fingertips and to the direction where Sera was.

In that state, there was silence for a few seconds.

“Yes. I’ll follow you.”

When I went out into her hallway and winked at her, Sarah raised the corner of her mouth.

Sarah was holding something of her own in one of her hands. I don’t know what she is because it’s hidden behind her waist, but she looks like a square barrel.

“Hello? Long time no see, both of you.”

“It hasn’t even been 4 hours since we talked.”

“They must have been watching since they were in the same class, hasn’t it been a while?”

Is that so?

“So? Why did you call me again this time?”

Getting annoyed with her, she asked straight away. I didn’t know what was going on, but I wanted to quickly solve it and have lunch.

At my question, Sarah shook her head with a bright smile.

“Over there.”

She took a step back and replied.

“Why?”

“Do you want to have lunch together?”

“What…… ?”

Ina, who was standing at the back right, let out a startled sound. That’s a good reaction.

I crossed my arms.

“I don’t know, but at our school, we eat together by class. You and I are in different classes, so even if we go together, we will eat separately.”

“Yes. Of course I know that much.”

“How do you know today is the first day?”

“I got some rough information from her friend.”

What kind of friend do you even tell me how to sit down to eat at school?

“Oh, and I was also given the school rules. I just read it once yesterday.”

“I don’t even know where our school rules are written. You even read it.”

“Yes. Because you have to know the law so you can aim for gaps.”

“I thought you read it with the intention of breaking it.”

“Well, I checked the school rules anyway. There was no rule like, ‘All students must eat lunch.'”

Sera seemed to quickly find a gap. It’s great if she’s just a few hours into school and finds the missing parts of the school rules.

Still, well.

“I guess so.”

Coming to think of it, there was no way there was such a rule.

Because there are times when you have a stomach ache or just don’t want to eat. It is nonsense to force students to eat lunch and to punish them if they do not.

“So what do you mean?”

“Whoops. So I am.”

Sera pushed forward something she had been hiding behind her back.

“Today, I brought a packed lunch.”

What Sera held out was a lunch box.

“You brought a packed lunch?”

“…… Lunch box?”

Ina and I asked back at the same time.

“Yes, lunch box. Oh, don’t you know the lunch box?”

“You know, I was surprised.”

Why do you suddenly mean lunch box? Do you know what kind of picnic the opening ceremony is? If that was the case, it would have been funny, but considering what Sara said, it didn’t seem possible.

Earlier she asked if I would like to have lunch with her.

When I reached that point, Sera smiled and said.

“The two of us came to eat together.”

Sarah was looking straight into my eyes.

“I got up early in the morning and prepared everything one by one. While imagining a face that would make me happy.”

“Ugh… ….”

Ina made a sound of pain. It sounded like she had been hit by an unexpected blow.

Of course, it was something I hadn’t even thought of.

You said you made a promise in the past, but you made it clear that you would confront me. She thought he’d just come over during recess or talk to him after school. She never expected to do something like this.

Silenced at her loss for words, Sarah tilted her head and said,

“Why is that?”

“I thought you were doing all sorts of things.”

“Because I started late, I have no choice but to catch up by doing something like this, right?”

“…… Hmm.”

What kind of reaction should I show? I’m grateful, but it’s also burdensome. I’m sorry, but it’s also a bit annoying. My head was cluttered with many thoughts.

“How can I believe that and eat it?”

Ina squeezed through that gap.

“Huh? How do you believe?”

“That, that’s it. For example, could you have been poisoned?”

“No. Common sense wouldn’t have poisoned you.”

She told me that she was waiting for something else, but she put on a shocked expression.

“What, what. Do you really want to eat this bento?”

“No. It didn’t mean I wanted to eat…….”

I don’t really want to eat, but I heard he even packed a lunch box for me. It was a pity to throw it right away. The food is also worth it.

But this is unacceptable. Ina is watching, and even if she isn’t watching, eating food made by another woman is a stabbing thing.

But Sera did not waver in the slightest.

“Well, I thought it would be like this.”

Sarah snorted at her.

“So.”

Then it takes a step towards us.

“I actually made 3 servings.”

“For 3 people?”

“Yes. As I said this morning, I also want to get close to Ina. I thought it would be good to take this opportunity to talk.”

“Ah… ….”

Looking like this, Ina didn’t seem to have anything to say.

If I’m involved, Ina is wary, but in the end, she’s weak-hearted. Ina is the type of person who can’t abandon someone who approaches her kindly.

It was like that in front of other kids, and the ‘real Ina’ that I showed in front of me.

“The three of us eat together. How is it? Is this okay?”

At Sera’s question, Ina just remained silent. And since Ina was still, I had no reason to say anything.

Sera grinned as if she had accepted the fact that she hadn’t rejected it as an affirmation.

“Okay. Then let’s eat together.”

Sarah looked very happy, probably because things went the way she wanted.

Anyway, since we decided to eat together, we must take the next step.

Where should I eat lunch boxes? Of course not in my class classroom or Sera’s classroom. I can’t do it because I feel like I’m going to pierce my body because I can’t catch other people’s eyes.

“How about eating on the roof?”

“It must be locked.”

The school rooftop door being open is something that happens everywhere in comics and light novels. And even if it’s open, wouldn’t it be better indoors because it’s hot?

Then it’s obvious that it’s the remaining candidates. It was the only place we could go anyway.

As expected, there was no one in the newspaper department’s office. Few people come after school, and there is no reason to come just because it is lunchtime.

“Are you both members of the newspaper club?”

“How else would you know that?”

“A friend told me about this too.”

“I don’t know who he is, but he has wide feet and a light mouth.”

Sera, who looked around at her room, turned her head and asked.

“Then did the two of you get close here?”

“Well, that’s how it is.”

Because it was mainly here that Ina pranked me.

“I see~ Seeing just the two of us in a small space, love sprouted~”

“It’s not like that.”

“Okay. I’ll have to ask my friend if there’s a place on campus where he can lock up a man.”

Everyone makes scary noises.

Sarah opened the lid of her lunchbox with the tail of her mouth raised. A lunchbox prepared with rice and colorful side dishes. There must have been a lot of hard work involved.

“Um… ….”

“How is it? It looks delicious?”

“Well, it looks delicious.”

“Huh~ I see~”

When she answered honestly, Ina pouted her mouth and said.

“Looks delicious~ You can eat food made by other women too~”

It looks like he’s already angry before he even eats the flatbread. Um, I’ll have to apologize separately later.

Anyway, you can’t come all this way and not eat. I was about to take the chopsticks Sera gave me and pick up her food, but Ina grabbed my arm next to her.

“I’ll try it first.”

“Well, yes.”

“Because it might contain poison.”

“There is no need to worry about that.”

However, Ina picked up her egg roll with a face as if she had eaten her king’s meal first. Then she brought it to her mouth with her trembling hand.

Mum-mum, the small mouth moves.

“How is it?”

Sarah asked with her face, which contained her smile.

She answered that question.

“…… Delicious.”

She muttered indignantly.
