"I said, what are we doing here?"

"Be quiet, don't let them find out."

Looking at the starlings and Okazaki's apricots bent over the front and hiding behind the bushes like a stalker, I could only shake my head and sigh.

"Isn't the beautification committee going to have a meeting?"

"That's going to have to wait a minute."

Aren't you the one who shouted "it's too late" and "you're going to be late" just now?

"Apricot, won't you eat it?"

I decided that it would be more important to fill my stomach than to waste time on this.

"Hmm~ You like to eat it, just eat it."

"Don't you use it?"

"I'm not hungry."

I looked at the lunch box in my hand, and then at the apricot squatting in front, and I suddenly understood.

I see, if it's true that eating without being hungry is just eating extra calories, at least I know that girls are very concerned about body shape and weight. But I didn't expect that I thought that lunch would definitely not be settled after being pulled away by Xing, but Xing actually took out a small model lunch box for me, as if this was originally her own share.

I still want to ask if Xia Xing's cheeks and ears are so red because the weather is too hot, but if I accidentally step on a landmine, maybe this lunch in front of me will be ruined.

So, I chose to ———— shut up.

"Na Quan, don't you think the atmosphere is super good now?"

"Atmosphere?" Chewing on the egg roll in my mouth, I crawled to the side of the apricot and cautiously poked my head out, "Where?" ”

That's right, as far as I can see, Starling and Okazaki are both silently eating lunch, but the only difference is that Starling eats the box made of apricots, and Okazaki eats the box made of Starling slowly. By the way, there is Okazaki's expression that has begun to turn blue, but because the starling is too shy, he has been keeping his head down and not noticing.

It's not so much that the atmosphere is good, but that the depressing is excessive.

"Sure enough, men are like this, GoodJob~ Tomiya!"

Man? GoodJob？ I think Okazaki's face is dying.

"Apricot, why is Okazaki's face so ugly?"

"Huh?!"

"What's wrong?"

"No, just wondering if you really don't know?"

"Know what?"

"Isn't your performance when you eat starling?"

"Acting? What am I doing with that? ”

I don't know why I have to use such a professional word as "acting" when I eat. If I had that special grade, you wouldn't know what I'm thinking.

"Because Peng also eats the box made by starlings, but the starlings are now eaten by me, and that kid usually doesn't go to the kitchen, and today is the first time."

"Oh~ that's amazing."

I can't see that Starling can make such a successful dish the first time, and it is an unexpected talent.

"That's what you think?"

"What?"

"You know why I didn't let Starling eat her own food?"

"Why?"

"Isn't Tomoya's expression the answer?"

After listening to Apricot's words, I stared at Okazaki's face seriously again for a while, "Unpalatable?" Not! ”

"It's not 'unpalatable', it's rude." Retracting the fist that smashed on my head, Xing shook her head helplessly, "That's another level." ”

I don't want to hear the person who hits someone say it's rude.

So, could it be that Okazaki wants to express to me that this is what he meant? Could it be that Starling's cuisine and Aunt Sanae's bread are of the same grade, but I didn't eat them?

"I'm sorry Tomoya, but isn't there a saying that "the chef's mind is conveyed through the food?" Looking at them, a complicated smile appeared on Xing's face, "I hope Peng can feel it too." ”

But apricots... Your expression doesn't look like "this is good".

"Thank you for your hospitality," I said, putting my chopsticks in the empty lunch box, clasping my hands together, "I'm full." ”

"It's so fast, hehe~ Are you hungry?"

"Sort of, I'll wash the lunch box and return it to you."

"It's not so polite, just give it to me."

"It's okay." Standing up, I pulled her up as if Xing had just grabbed me, "Let's go to a meeting." ”

"Huh? But starling..."

"Let's go, it's up to Starling to decide what to do next," I stared into her eyes seriously without Matsushita's strength in grasping the apricot, "If Starling can't take that step on her own, no matter how much we help her, there's nothing we can do to help her." ”

"Step out?"

"That's right, if Starling can't confess his heart to Okazaki, are you going to confess on Starling's behalf?"

"Ahh

"So, Xing, you occasionally try to let go of your hands and let the starling do it on her own."

"And, how about taking care of yourself?" Looking at Xing's thoughtful expression, I quipped, "Otherwise, when Starling gets married and has children, your sister will only have to participate in a blind date to see if there is a way to get married." ”

"Really, what an overly hypothetical! It's just a mere spring, and you dare to underestimate me! ”

"Isn't it?"

"Tell you, I'm very popular, all ~ all ~ don't worry!"

"Haha~ Then I'm looking forward to it." Pushing Xing's shoulder in the direction of the school building, I urged, "After all, it's a substitute meeting, and it's not a good thing to be late, right?" ”

"That's true."

"Then hurry up and go."

"Yes, yes... Don't push so fast, I'll go by myself! ”
