After swallowing the chicken nuggets, I gave a thumbs up to the starlings.

"Is it really that good?"

"Yes!"

After receiving an affirmative reply from me, and watching me eat the chicken nuggets deliciously, Okazaki picked up a chicken nugget with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm!"

"How does Okazaki feel?"

"Hmm~"

Is it so delicious that you can't talk about it? Okazaki, this kid... It's really easy to be moved.

Looking at Okazaki, who had bent over and had already reached the ground with his head on the ground, I patted his back and explained to the starling sitting opposite.

"Okazaki, this guy was actually moved like this~ Starling, not bad!"

"Yes, yes?" Blushing shyly, Starling smiled shyly, "It's great that you guys like it." ”

“…”

"Okazaki, what's wrong? The face is so ugly. ”

looked at Okazaki straightened up, but the expression on his face was no longer the giggling he had just now, but... It's like stepping on it and blowing it up.

"Izumi," Okazaki asked in a whisper, leaning over my shoulder, "really... Delicious? ”

"yes."

“…”

"What's wrong?"

"No, that." After a pause, as if after an inner struggle, Okazaki said to me with a conscious expression, "Actually, the smell of that chicken nugget..."

"Hey! What are you two talking about? I don't want to do anything bad again! ”

"No, even if we want to do bad things, how can we discuss it in front of you."

Although I admire Okazaki's courage to express that he wants to do bad things, the focus is on the "we". Okazaki boy, when did I do something bad with you?

"And what exactly are you trying to say?"

"W-That..."

Okazaki was actually a rare speech, what an incredible scene.

"That?"

"Xing, come over here."

"Huh? Wait, wait! ”

Looking at Okazaki, who was whispering behind a tree with an apricot on the side, I asked blankly to the starling on the other side.

"What's wrong with him?"

"Hehe," Starling shook his head with a dry smile, "maybe I have something to tell my sister." ”

"Really?"

Forget it, it shouldn't be important anyway.

Picking up the chicken nuggets and putting them in my mouth, I decided to focus on the two lunch boxes in front of me.

After all, instead of gossiping about Okazaki and Apricot, it is better to solve the problem of stomach rumbling first.

"Ahhh~ It's terrible!" After saying something to Okazaki, Kyobe hurriedly ran back, "I almost forgot!" ”

"Sister?"

"Xing, what are you doing?"

"I just remembered that the beautification committee is going to hold a meeting at noon today, and it will be time soon."

"When will you become a member of the beautification committee?"

I remember that the beautification commissioner was not teak? When did Xing not be the squad leader and become a beautification committee?

"Didn't Makoto call in sick today? As the class leader, of course, I will go to the meeting instead of her. ”

It's true that this is like the style of apricots.,Serious and responsible in whatever you do.,Although there is an unexpectedly gentle but slightly stern character.。

"That's right," I said, nodding at the apricot, and I continued to lower my head and eat, "Come on, then." ”

"What are you talking about? You have to come too. ”

"The urn is Mo (why)?!"

"There are two people participating in the class committee, so you have to come too." Without giving me a chance to shirk, Xing brutally grabbed my wrist and pulled me up, turned his head and shouted to Okazaki, who had been touching his neck as if his throat was uncomfortable, "Izumi and I have something to do and I'll leave first, Tomoya, you have to have lunch with Starling." ”

"Huh?"

"You know what? Good! ”

“… Yes, yes. Okazaki shook his head and sat down, and muttered quietly, "The eyes are really fierce and painful!" ”

"Then please," I don't know if it's because I heard Okazaki's muttering, and I always felt that the apricot patted Okazaki's back was completely merciless, "If you dare to bully Starling, I'll stick disposable chopsticks between your fingers and nails." ”

"Got it, got it!"

It is worthy of an apricot, and there is no pause in the slightest when such a terrifying word is spoken.

"Ah~ That's right!" As soon as she took two steps forward, Xing immediately turned around and whispered in Okazaki's ear, "If it's a waste of food, of course, you don't mind if you can't even drink porridge for lunch?" Well~ I mean I'm going to break your jaw, so please be sure to finish the lunch that Starling has worked so hard to make! ”

"There's no way to survive on either side!"

"Then," straightened up with satisfaction, and Xing smiled gently at the starling, "Starling, we'll go first, and my friend will have lunch with you." ”

"Ahh

"Bye-on!"

"Wait a minute! I—my lunch~"

Heartily waved at Starling and Okazaki, and Apricot grabbed my arm and ran towards the school building at full speed.
