Lunch break.
I was alone in the classroom, killing time by playing with my phone.
Akasaka is playing basketball in the courtyard with his friends from the basketball club, and I have no one else to talk to.
This is the daily life of an introvert.
Guh~…….
My stomach growled.
Come to think of it, I’ve been so busy with all the strange things since this morning that I completely forgot about lunch.
I….don’t have the lunch box Mom made for me. I should buy some bread at the store today.
I grabbed my wallet and got up from my seat.
I went out into the hallway and headed for the cafeteria.
It was lunchtime and the cafeteria was packed with students.
Wow, there are so many people……
It’s a hard environment for an introvert.
I wade through the crowd and manage to get to the shelves lined with bread.
Which should I choose, yakisoba bread or melon bread……?
When I was struggling with indecisiveness,
“Hm? It’s Kagenon ! What a coincidence !”
A voice came from behind me, bright as the sun.
I turned around to see Hina Megumi chan standing there.
Her soft brown hair was shaking and she was smiling with wide-open eyes.
Her uniform was slightly out of place and she wore a cute bracelet on her wrist.
She is truly the epitome of an extrovert, a beautiful gal-type girl.
And above her head…
[Hina Megumi: 121/100 (overflow)]
Wow, it’s still buggy……
And it’s up by 1 from when I looked at it earlier.
Why is that?
“Did Kagenon come to buy bread, too?”
“Ah, y-yeah. You too, Hina chan?”
What’s “Kagenon”?
Is it my nickname? I’ve never been called that before.
I mean, she’s so close !
Hina chan, standing right next to me, peeking into my face.
The scent of sweet shampoo wafted through the air, and my heart jumped.
“Yup ! Megu forgot her lunch today. What are you buying, Kagenon?”
She calls herself “Megu”…….
She sounded like a gal.
“I’m trying to decide between yakisoba buns and melon buns…….”
“Ah, I get it ! Both are delicious !”
Hina chan laughs without a care.
It’s dazzling…..!
Is this the aura of introverts……!
“Oh yeah ! Then, go for this one !”
Saying that, Hina chan picked up a loaf of bread from the shelf.
It seems to be the new chocolate coronet.
“I had this yesterday and it was really good ! I’ll share it with Kagenon !”
“Eh? No, but…..”
“It’s fine, it’s fine ! Here you go !”
She pushes a chocolate corone into my hand without asking me if I want it.
Wait a minute !
Why are you giving me bread?
I don’t understand !
“T-thank you……Hina chan.”
I thanked her with a wry smile, and she smiled at me.
“You’re welcome ! By the way, Kagenon is kind of cute !”
“……….Eh?”
Cute? Me?
What’s this girl talking about?
I’m a normal (rather plain) high school boy, 172 cm tall, you know?
There shouldn’t be any cute elements anywhere, but……
The numbers above Hina chan’s head fluctuated with a beeping sound, leaving me confused.
[Hina Megumi: 125/100 (overflow)]
It went up again !
And 4 at once !
I don’t know what’s going on anymore !
Gal’s thought process and distance, it’s really scary !
“Well, Megu’s off to the register ! See you later, Kagenon !”
Hina chan waved her hand and disappeared into the checkout line.
All that was left behind was the chocolate corone in my hand and it confused me.
“……What in the world is this…..”
Did I do something to Hina chan, too…..?
I don’t remember anything at all……
The beautiful girls’ likability bug, it’s getting serious…..
