A peaceful week has passed, and today is Friday.
As I was eating my lunch in the classroom as usual, I received a message on my phone.
The sender was Ayame san.
I thought it would be troublesome if Haruto saw it, but I did not need to worry about that.
He had already finished his lunch and went to the gym to play basketball, calling it a voluntary practice.
He ate a huge meal, but he didn’t pass out and moved around like a maniac. That is Fujisaki Haruto.
He unlocks his phone and checks his messages again.
Ayame san’s icon is a two-shot photo taken with Haruto in his childhood.
……How clingy is this guy?
[Hey there ! I’d like to thank you for the other day. Asahi kun, are you free tomorrow?]
[I’m free.]
[I’ll treat you to a nice meal, so please come to the station for lunch.]
[I’ll be looking forward to it.]
The other day, I gave Ayame san some advice on how to manage her over-dependence on Haruto, and this time, it seems she was thanking me for that.
I didn’t give her very good advice, so she didn’t have to thank me, but when I heard “a nice meal” my heart was shaken.
The gravitational pull of good food is amazing.
As I finished replying to Ayame san’s message, I suddenly noticed Hinayo sitting next to me.
She seems to be in a kind of low spirits this week.
It’s like she’s staring at her phone screen the whole time and sighing every now and then.
I should go talk to her.
“Nishimeya san, you look kind of down, what’s wrong?”
“Hee !? N-no, it’s nothing……?”
“Really? If you have a problem, I’ll listen to you.”
“No, no, I’m fine.”
“You don’t look fine to me.”
“I-it’s no big deal. Well, erm, the location is not…..not that……that’s right……! I’m a little bit worried about my part-time manager, he’s a bit strict.”
“Part-time job, you mean at that karaoke place?”
“Y-yes…….”
“I see So you’ve been depressed.”
“W-well……”
No matter where you go, there are always people that don’t like you.
The more you worry about those things, the worse it makes you, so I think it’s better to just have fun and forget about them.
“I think the best thing to do at times like that is to just have fun. You have a great high school life, so it’s a waste to waste time worrying.”
“Y-you’re right…but I don’t have any friends so I don’t really have many opportunities to hang out…”
“Then, won’t you go out with me tomorrow? I’ve got to go out for lunch at noon, so it’ll be after that.”
“A-are you sure?”
“Yeah. We can go shopping, to the arcade, whatever.”
“T-then, a movie…….or something? There’s something I wanna watch, but… if I’m alone, I’ll just have to wait until it’s released.”
“A movie sounds good. Let’s go see one with a great sound.”
“T-then a screening time in the evening would be good. I’ll contact you again once I’ve made a reservation…!”
“Yeah, thanks. I’ll leave that to you.”
It was Saturday after all.
Ayame san treated me to lunch, and then Hinayo and I went to the movies.
It’s always better to have a lot of events.
I spent the afternoon in the classroom with a smile on my face.
……I was a little concerned about the way Hinayo looked at her phone with a mysterious look on her face from time to time.
I bet the manager is a stubborn and annoying person. Poor girl.

It was just before noon on Saturday and I was waiting for Ayame san in front of the station.
She said it was a [nice meal] so my expectations were quite high.
My stomach was in perfect condition. I was ready for sushi or yakiniku.
“Sorry, did you wait too long?”
“Hello, Ayame san. I haven’t waited that long.”
“Really? I always end up arriving at the last minute, so I end up making everyone wait.”
“I’m like you, so it’s fine.”
“I see. That’s just fine then.”
While we were chatting like that, a minivan with the name of a restaurant on it stopped right in front of us.
……I’ve seen this restaurant name before. It was a Chinese restaurant with a good price !
“So this time, we’ll have a pickup and drop-off service.”
“Really……! It’s like a VIP !”
“I know, right? It’s so rich and luxurious.”
“Are you sure……? It looks really expensive.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. This Chinese restaurant is affiliated with the company I work for, so they offer a company discount. And lunch is very reasonable.”
“I-I see……!”
So, thanks to Ayame san’s kindness, I got into the minivan of this expensive Chinese restaurant.
I love Chinese food.
Even if it is just fried rice or stir-fried vegetables, it is completely different from the kind I make at home.
I wonder what they serve…….
For me, if they serve karaage or yulinchi, it’s a win. If they serve Peking duck, I might die.
Deep-fried chicken is my favorite.
With my heart dancing in my chest, the minivan headed for the restaurant.
The vibrations of the car caused Ayame san’s breasts to dance much more than my own, though.
