Word spread quickly that Fuyusaki and I had started dating.
It was no wonder, since that day Fuyusaki was always with me.
When it was lunch time,
“Mitsui kun ! I made lunch ! Let’s eat together !”
During the class changing, she would say,
“Mitsui kun ! Next is the music room ! Let’s get going !”
After school,
“Mitsui kun ! Let’s go home together !”
in a voice that could be heard by everyone around.
My classmates were surprised at first, but after only a week, they are now dumbfounded.
With that kind of attitude, we are having lunch together during lunch break today.
My lunch is home-made by Fuyusaki.
“Hey, Fuyusaki.”
“What is it? Mitsui kun.”
“Um, maybe you shouldn’t have to call me so loud in class? I’m a little embarrassed…”
I’m embarrassed to be called out loud every time, so I made this suggestion.
“Ha, Mitsui kun doesn’t understand anything.”
Fuyusaki gives a small sigh and starts to speak briskly.
“Listen here ! I’m Mitsui kun’s [girlfriend] ! I have to show that to all the girls around you !”
“Wait !?”
She suddenly approaches me, and I back away.
But Fuyusaki continued, as she got closer and closer.
“If I don’t show off, the other girls might eat you up ! Are you listening !?”
“Y-you’re too close ?!”
Unable to bear it, I screamed and Fuyusaki realized was coming closer than she imagined, and her face turned red.
“I-I’m sorry…….”
“No, it’s fine……you don’t have to worry about that, I’m not popular, so I’ll be fine.”
Saying that, Fuyusaki puffs out her cheeks.
It also looks like he’s angry.
“……What is it?”
“Nothing !”
Saying that, Fuyusaki puts the croquette in her mouth.
That’s where I feel uncomfortable.
The lunch I’m eating must have been made by Fuyusaki.
However, there is no croquette in my side dish.
“Hey, I don’t mean to complain, but why is there no croquette on my side?”
I asked, genuinely curious, and Fuyusaki’s movements stopped.
“……Actually, I’m not very good at deep frying.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes…..I’m too careful, and end up getting the wrong amount…..so this is my mother’s.”
Apparently, she had slipped the croquettes made by Kanna san into her own lunch box.
“Fufu.”
I felt nostalgic and couldn’t help but laugh.
“W-why are you laughing?”
“No, I’m sorry. I just thought you were a child.”
I was just thinking of how childish she was.
“Mitsui kun, you used to be so happy with croquettes, too !”
“I don’t remember that long ago.”
I teased her further, and her cheeks swelled up like balloons.
(Crap ! That’s funny…)
When I teased her, she looked at me with a surprised expression and then smirked.
“Then, why don’t you try it for the first time in a while? You know exactly how I feel. Here, ah~n.”
Saying so, Fuyusaki takes the croquette between the chopsticks that she had just put on her mouth and brings it to my mouth.
(T-this is an indirect kiss, isn’t it?)
Unlike Hananoi, I blush with embarrassment.
However, I felt that it would be somewhat lame to withdraw at this point, so I put the croquette in my mouth as it was.
(……Flavorless.)
Embarrassed and nervous, the croquettes had no taste.
I glanced at Fuyusaki and saw that she was using the same chopsticks without a care in the world, looking satisfied.
(……I feel like a loser.)
Kenshiro continued eating as he was and didn’t notice that Reina’s ears were red until the end.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
While Kenshiro and Reina were having lunch together, Makoto was alone in the cafeteria eating the daily set meal.
Rikuto succeeded in asking Kinako out and they went somewhere.
It seems that they are getting closer somehow.
Makoto has other friends besides the two of them, but until now he has been eating lunch with Kenshiro and the others and did not feel like mixing with the rest of the group.
“Isn’t it lonely being alone?”
“……You’re all alone too, aren’t you?”
When he finished eating about half of it, Ayaka called out to him while holding the tray with the ramen on it.
And just like that, she sat down next to Makoto.
“….Are you eating here?”
“It’s up to me where I eat, isn’t it?”
“That’s true, but…..”
Makoto tilts his head at the fact that she went out of her way to choose the seat across from him when there were other seats available.
Feeling like it would be wrong to keep quiet, Makoto decides to talk about what happened recently.
“Come to think of it, you haven’t been coming with Ken lately.”
For some reason, Ayaka had been coming to school with Kenshiro since before the summer vacation.
But recently, that has not been the case.
The reason is obvious.
“Of course. Kenshiro is dating Fuyusaki. I feel bad for her.”
“That’s surprising. I can’t believe you’re concerned about that.”
As far as Makoto knows, the woman named Mitsui Ayaka is a selfish girl.
He never thought that she was holding back just because Ken is dating Fuyusaki.
“…It’s nothing, I just thought I’d change.”
“Change?”
He was actually able to guess what it was about.
“…I’m talking about becoming a normal little sister.”
Ayaka said what Makoto expected her to say.
