Chapter 14: Meet Again ~ Starfish Girl

No matter what time of year it is, the school commissary is always so popular. I finally squeezed in, but unfortunately the rest of the bread was only white bread.

"Hey~"

Looking at the white bread in my hand, I only sighed that I thought I was unlucky, who made me too slow?

When I passed by the garden, I saw Okazaki and Furukawa eating together as usual.

Hey~ The relationship between the two of them is really good, but then again, is Furukawa's body already better? It shouldn't be a big deal to look like this now...

After confirming that Furukawa's body is okay, if I continue to stay here, maybe I will disturb them, forget it, retreat and retreat.

Just as I turned to leave, I saw Apricot standing not far ahead.

"Hey, Apricot." Although I see that Xing plans to stay away every time, since I see that the other party does not greet him, it is rude, and it violates the basic etiquette of a gentleman.

"Ah, Izumi." Apricot looked at me as if she was scared by me, "What are you doing here?" ”

"It's time for lunch," I picked up the bread in my hand and waved, "Speaking of which, aren't you going to eat with the starlings?" ”

"Don't assume that everyone is your snail speed," Apricot clasped her hands to her chest and looked at me with a look of hatred, "I've finished eating with Starling." ”

"So, what are you doing here in a daze?"

"You're really rude, I'm not in a daze!"

Apricot unnaturally pin her head away.

It's suspicious...

I followed Apricot's gaze and saw Okazaki and Furukawa eating in the garden, "Are you looking at Okazaki?" ”

"Only, no! Why am I looking at them?! ”

"I'm sorry~ I misunderstood. But apricot you have no problem? The face is very red. ”

I didn't expect Xing's reaction to be so big, maybe I accidentally said something rude, right? It's really hard to understand~ Japanese etiquette culture.

"W-What! You, you guy. Xing blushed and glared at me, "It's you, what are you still standing here?" The horse's morning break is over, don't you go and eat the bread? ”

"Huh?! Is it already this time? I hurriedly looked at my watch, and then patted Xing's shoulder and ran past her, "Thank you~ Xing, I'll see you in the classroom later." ”

As I hurriedly left the garden, an apricot voice came from behind, "If you're late for a while, I'll make it impossible for you to see today's sunset!" ”

… In a sense, it's a strong threat.

It's choking on white bread, so I'm going to buy a drink.

Standing right in front of the vending machine, I felt like something was moving in the pocket of my jacket just as I was struggling with which flavor of juice to buy.

"What are you doing?"

When I looked down, I found that it was the girl who carved wood carvings in the classroom a few days ago.

"Ah~ahh When the girl heard my words, she hurriedly retreated a few steps away from me, "I'm looking for a knife." ”

"Oh, are you talking about this?" I pulled the newly bought knife out of my pocket.

"Please give it back to me."

Sure enough, you haven't given up yet.

"But is your hand wound healed?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it's better."

I looked at the bandages on the girl's hands and held my mouth helplessly.

"So, shake hands!"

"Okay... Not! ”

"It hurts, doesn't it?"

"It doesn't hurt."

β€œOK! High Five~"

"Dribbling... Whirlwind Shot ~ Pitched, Entered! ”

What is it? New shooting nirvana?

β€œYEAHο½žβ€Γ—2

"Woo..."

As soon as she finished high-fives, the girl squatted to the side and cried over her high-fived hands.

"Well, sorry, it hurts, right?"

"It doesn't hurt at all."

Even though you say so, your tearful expression is not convincing at all.

"But aren't you crying?"

"What a faux pas! Neighbors often say that Kazeko is a brave child! ”

That's a kind neighbor... Thank you, Mr. Neighbor.

"Alas~ I'll obey you," I handed the knife to the girl, no matter what I do, this guy will definitely not say that it hurts. "This is a new one I bought for you, the previous knife has a gap and can no longer be used, this one should be regarded as an apology for me robbing you of your knife."

At that moment, the bell rang for the preparation of the lesson. For a moment, I thought of Xing's message just now... Ah, I feel like my head is bigger.

"When the bell rings, I'll go first."

Just as I was about to leave, the girl suddenly ran up to me and shoved something into me.

"That, this one for you!"

"Eh, thank you... Yes?! ”

When I looked up to thank the girl, she had already run away.

"That's a lot of speed...", sighing at the girl's speed, I looked down at the gift I had just gotten in my hand, "But then again, what is this?" … Could it be that this is what she used to call a starfish? ”

To tell the truth, the uneven five-pointed star carved by the owner in my hand is more inclined to be a star than a starfish.

"Suffered! You need to hurry up and get to class!! ”

Not thinking about whether it looked like a starfish or not, I hurriedly put the wood carving in my pocket and ran towards the classroom at full speed.

At least one thing I know now, if I don't get back to the classroom before the bell ends, I probably won't be able to see the sunset today.
