After I finished cleaning the cafeteria, I told my aunt Akane about the situation and asked her to let me take my meal home. If it were just Keiichi waiting for me, I would have asked him to come to the cafeteria and finish his meal while we talked, but that is not the case today.
I don’t have the thick nerves to relax while two girls I don’t have much to do with are waiting for me.
…… But I really did not expect this turn of events.
The fact that Saejima and Kohinata didn’t get involved at school was just the calm before the storm. Keiichi does that a lot.
I put away my cleaning supplies, greeted the cafeteria workers, and stowed the packaged katsudon my aunt had prepared in my bag.
I walked quickly to the classroom where my friends were waiting.

When I opened the door to the classroom of Class 2C, it seemed that the other classmates had already gone home or to club activities, and there were only three people I knew. For some reason, Keiichi was standing in front of the teacher’s table, and Saejima and Kohinata were sitting in the front row. They were in class.
“Great work!”
“G-great work!”
Keiichi says to me as I enter the classroom with a smile, and Saejima with an apologetic expression on his face. Incidentally, Kohinata was pointing her phone at me with her usual expressionless face. It’s too far away to see.
“Let’s see… …… ‘Good work’, huh?'”
I approach and read it out for her, and she nods her head, looking somewhat happy. Even I don’t know why she looked so happy in spite of her expressionless face. Was it the speed of the nod?
“Sorry to keep you three waiting. Though, if you had told us beforehand, we could have done a lot of things.”
Like cleaning another day and just getting a meal today.
I said, hinting at my dissatisfaction with the secret plan.
After all, I had never had a girl in my house before in my life.
At one point I told them not to get involved, but if a girl from my class is coming over, a high school boy of my age needs to be prepared: prepare some snacks, buy deodorant, and check to see if there are any items that might not be seen.
“Well, well, I’m the one who said let’s keep it a secret. If anything, the two of them were worried that Tomoki might get into trouble, you know?”
“So you’re the war criminal after all, Keiichi!”
“Haha, next time I’ll buy you a meal at the school cafeteria.”
This guy is always trying to catch me with a meal. …… I’m very thankful.
“A specific meal.”
“You really don’t hesitate, do you Tomoki? I’m going to increase my stock before I buy you a meal!”
So this is your second specific meal. I feel kind of good that I’m saving up.
After I handed down the verdict to Keiichi, I looked at the two girls who looked uncomfortable. Then I cowered my shoulders.
“You really don’t have to worry about what happened before, okay? This is my problem.”
The two girls – especially Saejima, who still seems to be regretting her mistaken accusation of me, I say, consciously trying to keep my tone as calm as possible.
I wish they would reflect a little bit to listen to others, but there is no need for them to feel guilty about me so far. Of course, there is no need to come to my part-time job or to my house.
But for some reason, Saejima, upon hearing my words, looked a little embarrassed.
“Of course I have that feeling. It’s the first time I’ve been to a boy’s house, so I’m simply looking forward to it.”
I see. …… So there’s curiosity, too. The fact that Saejima has never been to a man’s house is a bit surprising.
“Doesn’t Saejima have a boyfriend or something?”
“No…..I’m not really interested…..”
To my blunt question, she answered with a slightly troubled look on her face.
With Saejima’s looks and personality, I don’t think it’s surprising that boys confess their feelings for her, but is there a reason for that? Is there a reason?
I was a little curious, but I didn’t have time to pry any further, so I turned my gaze to Kohinata. She nodded her head.
I guess she is not interested in romance, just like Saejima. This is somewhat to be expected.
I might be a little shocked if Kohinata has a boyfriend.
–Ha, is this is the state of mind of a father thinking of his daughter! No, it’s not.
“Is this Kohinata’s first time in a man’s house too?”
I asked Kohinata with a self-deprecating grin on my face, and she nodded her head in agreement.
“Let me tell you something, there’s nothing to do at my house but play games, you know? There are four controllers, so there are things we can all do together. Is that even possible? I’m sorry, I don’t know what the girls usually do for fun.”
The reason there are four controllers in the room is because two friends from elementary school who went to different high schools still come over every once in a while to play. We have known each other for a long time.
“Of course it’s fine! I like playing games too, so we sometimes play at Asuka’s house.”
“That’s good. Then we’ll play games, is that okay with you, Kohinata?”
I confirmed this to Kohinata, and she nodded broadly. Then she handed me a candy she got sometime ago.
It doesn’t make my stomach growl, but I don’t mind this candy. It’s like a kind of word from Kohinata, too.
