As I am checking with Suminodo-san on what I should do during lunch, which the teacher had told me to do, Yuisa-san comes into my face.
“Hisa-kun~. What are you going to do for lunch!?”
“H-Hisa-kun!?!”
“Ah, that’s right. I’m Namazue Yuisa, nice to meet you chairman~. Please call me Yuisa. Namazue is like out of character, isn’t it?”
Before I could answer, Yuisa san called out to Suminodo-san, who reacted. But Suminodo-san looked at the blonde, gal-like Yuisa san with an astonished expression. Well, yes, her conversational tempo is amazing with a flow that makes you say whether you want to or not. Suminodo-san said, “Oh, yes, I see.” She said, “I’m looking forward to meeting you, Yuisa san,” as she was being led along.
“Hi-Hisa-kun huh, I wonder if you are good friends with Orikawa san?”
“We became friends this morning.”
“This morning?!”
Suminodo looks at me with an astonished expression. No, I don’t want her to look at me. I was a little surprised myself, because Suminodo showed a completely different appearance from the dignified expression and the soft and elegant communication that I had felt when talking to her.
“We saw each other in the morning when we were doing our daily run, and we talked a little then.”
“Yesyes, listen, Chairman, Hisa-kun didn’t recognize me–isn’t that awful?”
“……Yeah, Namazue san”
“Yuisa is fine! chairman!”
Suminodo-san squeezes and then opens her mouth.
“I don’t think Yuisa san had blonde hair, if I remember correctly.”
“I dyed my hair yesterday after the entrance ceremony! It’s good right!”
I sympathized with Suminodo-san who was stunned by the speed at which she was doing it. Of course Suminodo-san remembered what homeroom teacher had said in the morning, and once again looked over the school rules in her student handbook. Her actions were remarkably quick, and it took her only a short time to check the rules. With a look of astonishment on her face, Suminodo-san opened her mouth.
“I respect you.”
“I don’t know about being respected by chairman, but thank you.”
Yuisa-san looked happy as she said this, but Suminodo-san brushed it off and turned to me.
“What are you going to do for lunch?”
“Let’s go together. I’ll have to help you as soon as I’m done.”
“Hisa-kun, are you with chairman?”
“Oh, yes. Yuisa san, would you like to go to lunch with me? I hope you’ll forgive me if I can’t make much conversation.”
“I’m totally fine with it! I’m not having lunch today, so I’ll go to the cafeteria.”
“I wonder if there are any seats available in the cafeteria.”
The homeroom teacher explained that the cafeteria is available, but it is not very big compared to the number of students, so if you are unlucky, it will be crowded, so please keep that in mind.
“Yes, but we don’t have lunch boxes, and we won’t be able to start until we go to the cafeteria first,”
Suminodo-san urged the three of us to leave the classroom.
Hanaten had prepared a large lunch box, which was different from the one we had. When I told him I didn’t have a lunch box, he immediately took a large lunch box out of his bag.
“I’m sorry, my parents make it for me and my brother and stuff,”
“No, I don’t mind at all. Maybe I’ll start making my own bento tomorrow.”
After parting with Hanaten, I just walked with the girls, but Yuisa san stood out from the crowd. It’s because she’s blonde. And after seeing her stand out, everyone looks at the dignified Japanese beauty Suminodo as if she were the exact opposite. I was glad to see that I, a foreign substance, was not so conspicuous.
The school cafeteria was certainly crowded, but I understood why it was not that crowded when I saw the prices on the menu. The moment she saw the prices, Yuisa was convinced.
“It’s not that cheap except for the daily special, is it? I guess I’ll start eating bento tomorrow.”
“I’m okay with it, but as a student, it might be a burden if I eat at the cafeteria every day.”
“Well, it might be a bit expensive if you have to use the cafeteria every day.”
I answered safely, but I seemed to have some leeway. However, if I can save lunch, I can use it to cover travel expenses for taking photos, so it might be a good idea to have a packed lunch for lunch.
We sat down at a quick table in the midst of the bustle and noise and took our meals.
“Hmm, normal.”
“Yes, it’s normal.”
“Yeah, no problem!”
The three of us did not disagree with each other. The price is low for the volume of food, considering eating out and convenience store bento boxes. However, it is not cheap, and this may be the reason why the cafeteria is not overflowing with people.
Such a bustling cafeteria was quiet for a moment.
She entered through the door as if nothing was wrong and walked around the cafeteria. Even so, everyone who saw her was momentarily speechless, and as a result of this chain of events, the cafeteria became quiet.
She entered the cafeteria alone as if it was nothing, took a short seat at a vacant table by herself, and began to eat with beautiful manners. That was all.
But everyone was staring at her.
Sumimichi-san mumbled something, and the clock of three of us started to move.
“Shijonawate-san is very noticeable, isn’t she? No matter where she shows her face, if there are many people who have never met her before, they will be quiet for a moment.
“So she’s called Shijonawate-san. She’s very beautiful, isn’t she? Do you know her Suminodo san?”
“We have only met each other because of our families. We are the same age, but we have only said a few words of greeting, so I wouldn’t say we are acquaintances.”
“Hee, it’s a family relationship.”
Yuisa was not familiar with the idea of meeting face-to-face due to family matters, so it seems that she could only express such admiration. I haven’t been around much with Rinen due to family relations, so I couldn’t share what Suminodo-san had seen.
In junior high school, for a few months or so after entering the school, the atmosphere was similar to what it is now, but once that period passed, it never quieted down, as if people had become accustomed to seeing such things. In the end, no matter what kind of beautiful woman you are, once she becomes a part of your daily life, you will probably get used to her.
I realized that I had spent too much time on lunch. I finished the rest of my lunch together with Suminodo-san and separated from Yuisa san in front of the cafeteria, heading quickly to the homeroom teacher in the staff room.
“I’m sorry to bother you during your lunch break. Then, I’d like you to give me this and this for each of my classes in the afternoon. From tomorrow onward, the assigned teachers will be in charge of the classes, but if you have any problems, please follow up with them.”
“No problem. I understand.”
Taking Suminodo-san with me, we went to collect the information written down on paper. In the printing room, located a short distance away from the staff room, there is a shelf where grades and classes are listed. The two of us share the responsibility of carrying the stacks of papers there and return to the classroom.
Walking side by side with the slender Suminodo-san, the male students would tend to follow with their eyes her figure in the spring sunlight as she walked beautifully without a blur. I could see this clearly as we walked together.
“Hi…….”
“What’s wrong?”
“Speaking of which, why did you run for class president, Orikawa-san?”
“Oh, umm, I thought I’d try something I didn’t try in junior high school. It’s what I call my high school debut.”
“Yesterday, you said you were making your high school debut as well. Is it so different from junior high school?”
“Hahaha, it’s already very different. I am sure Suminodo-san would be surprised if she saw me in junior high school.”
Until I fell in love with Rinen, I was just doing my club activities with a half-hearted enthusiasm and spending time with Rinen. If I had time, I tried to spend it with Rinen. I understood that I must have looked ridiculous and disgraceful to the people around me after I was rejected. But I wasn’t strong enough to change that easily, and I couldn’t change the way people viewed me in junior high school in a short period of time.
That is why I am now in a different class from Rinen, even though we are in the same high school, and I am trying my best to build a relationship without Rinen.
I have yet to get to know Suminodo-san well enough to talk about the deeper aspects of our relationship, so please forgive me if I repeatedly use the term “high school debut,” which in a sense is only superficial.
“I am sure Orikawa-san has a lot going on too.”
“I’m sure Sumonodo-san does.”
I felt that my heart was warmed by her soft smile and affirmation. She stopped, but didn’t continue any longer. She looked puzzled at my words, but I replied that it was nothing and headed for the classroom, prompting suminodo san
