Because of Aiba, we ended up having lunch with this huge group led by Hoshikawa.
Lots of tables were pushed together, and Hoshikawa and her entourage of girls sat down.
For some reason, Hoshikawa came and sat next to me, while Aiba just casually took a seat across from Hoshikawa.
The lunch meeting began in secret.
“Hoshikawa-san!! That MV the other day was seriously awesome…!! You’ve got a live coming up, right!? I, I already bought my ticket!! Good luck!”
“Thanks. I’ll do my best.”
Aiba seemed to see this as his chance and started chatting away nonstop with Hoshikawa.
As for Nanase, she looked less than thrilled, but she still brought my lunch box over and fed me.
Don’t look at me like that.
This was a situation Aiba brought on, and there was nothing I could do about it.
“Um… Kurose-kun and Nanase-san, you’re… dating, right?”
Hoshikawa said that after seeing Nanase feeding me my bento.
“Ah, yeah. I guess so.”
“We’re dating”
Nanase asserted it strongly, which was unusual for her.
Hoshikawa nodded without breaking her smile.
“Oh, really? I’ve never dated anyone before, so I kind of envy you. It feels so… youthful~”
“Huh, Hoshikawa-san hasn’t dated anyone!?”
It was Aiba who reacted to Hoshikawa.
“Y-you’re joking, right…? H-how could a beauty like Hoshikawa san never have dated… I mean, this isn’t some manga plot device…”
“Nope. I really haven’t dated anyone before? I’m embarrassed to say.”
“S-s-seriously!?”
Aiba cut in sharply.
The girls around them were completely taken aback.
“So, so, so, you mean it’s not because you have to act that way as an idol, or because of your agency contract, or… something like that…!?”
“Nope. That’s not it. I really have no experience.”
“S-s-seriously!?”
Aiba’s breathing grew heavy, puffing out his cheeks.
The girls around them were totally grossed out by Aiba’s lack of tact, though Aiba himself was completely oblivious.
“So, so, so, that means… that, that… Hoshikawa san… still, still hasn’t… had any… male experience… in other words… she’s…”
“Hey!?”
“That’s downright rude!?”
The other girls finally stepped in to stop Aiba, who was about to say something outrageous.
Hoshikawa was wearing her usual idol smile, but her cheeks were slightly twitching.
“Oh, right, Hoshikawa. Why are you in this class today? Did you have something to do here?”
Unable to watch my best friend run wild any longer, I tried to change the subject before the atmosphere turned hellish, turning to Hoshikawa.
“Ah, yeah, um… I usually eat in the cafeteria… but I guess I felt like a change of pace? Something like that.”
“Hmm.”
Hoshikawa replied somewhat hesitantly.
Maybe there was some reason behind it.
I decided not to press further.
“Anyway, that’s amazing, Nanase-san. That bento looks super delicious.”
“Eh, ah, yeah… Thanks.”
“Kurose-kun must be so lucky to get to eat Nanase-san’s bento every day.”
“Yeah. Thanks for always making me such tasty lunches, Nanase.”
“U-uh-huh. You’re welcome.”
Nanase nodded, her cheeks flushing slightly as if embarrassed.
“I kinda want to know more about you two. What do you like about each other?”
“Eh…?”
“Huh…!?”
Nanase let out a startled gasp.
“I’m curious, you know. I’ve never dated anyone myself, so I kinda have this longing feeling? If you don’t mind, I’d love to hear about it. Kurose-kun, what do you like about Nanase-san?”
Hoshikawa asked with an expression full of keen interest.
“Um, well…”
This is bad.
I should have prepared an answer for a situation like this beforehand.
There was no way I could say I confessed by lying to stop her suicide.
I desperately tried to come up with a safe answer.
“W-well, how she makes me feel calm when we’re together… or something…?”
“Hmm. That’s it?”
“No, it’s not just that… but how do I put it… Nanase’s charm is… hard to explain…”
“Like, you’re just kind of drawn to her?”
“Ah, yeah! That’s it! That’s exactly it! I’m just kind of drawn to Nanase!”
Hoshikawa gave me a great pass, so I ran with it.
Hoshikawa’s reaction was ambiguous—I couldn’t tell if she found that answer convincing.
“So that’s how it is. Learned something new.”
“Hahaha. I hope you find someone like that someday too, Hoshikawa…”
“…Yeah. I guess so.”
“…?”
I thought there was a weird pause, but it was probably just my imagination.
“What about you, Nanase? What made you fall for Kurose-kun?”
“Me!?”
“Yeah. If you don’t mind, would you tell me?”
“Um… I…”
Nanase looked at me.
After a moment’s hesitation, she opened her mouth as if gathering her resolve.
“His kindness, his coolness, the way he needs me and thinks about me. The way he told me he liked me. His mannerisms, his scent, the way he talks, his profile, his voice… I love everything about him… I’ve been thinking about Kurose-kun all the time… Huh?”
Nanase snapped back to reality.
Her face flushed rapidly as she looked down, finally murmuring.
“Th-that’s… how I feel…”
“Waaaaaah!”
Hoshikawa’s eyes sparkled.
“That’s wonderful, Nanase-san. I think it’s… really great.”
Something seemed to strike a chord with Hoshikawa, who gazed at Nanase with an admiring look.
“You’re loved, huh?”
“I’m jealous~”
“Take good care of her, boyfriend~”
Nanase’s confession was well-received by the girls around her too.
“Hahaha. I, I feel kinda embarrassed…”
Caught off guard by Nanase’s unexpected confession of feelings, I scratched my head and forced a laugh to cover my embarrassment.
