"Ahh......h Ahh......h

"M~~Delicious~~"

......

Moved by the deliciousness of the bento, on the one hand, Xia Na exudes a simple and happy expression, but on the other hand, she refuses to let go of the pineapple bun in her hand - so how serious is your obsession with the pineapple bun!

Because Xana can't spare her hands to eat, Yuji has no choice but to keep repeating the work of 'pinching' and 'feeding', although this work is a bit tedious, but as long as you look at the happiness on the girl's innocent and cute face, it seems that you will never get tired of it.

However, Yuji remembered the purpose of his coming here - a purpose other than 'feeding'

"Now, I'm talking about Xana," Yuji asked hesitantly

“...... What?"

"That、Morning...... I mean, if it were Xana, it would be easy to get into the class, to be more popular, to have a more relaxed and enjoyable school life, right?"

"Yes"

"In that case, why ......?"

"Because there's no need for that!" Shana stuffed the food into her mouth with her fingers, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, and explained calmly, "I'm not here to enjoy the reverence of others or to calm campus life or anything, I have a goal that must be accomplished by me!"

Again, that look, that lonely look on the roof on how many summer nights Yuji had seen, what was Xana's so-called goal, why did it look so sad, and so painful?

I hope to share it a little

"That...... What is your goal, can you tell me about it, and it may not be able to help, but I will do my best to do it......"

[No! Ordinary people better not get involved in the affairs of that world, that goal this child can solve by himself, Yuji Sakai, don't do superfluous stupid things!]

“...... Well, that's not what Yuji should do, your words...... Well, just keep it the way it is!"

It seems that Arastor also knows the 'goal', but not only Arastor's tone is serious, but even Xana says so, and Yuji understands that he can't do anything

"That's ......"

Looking at Xiana's happy expression again because of the food, people can't help but think that the sad and lonely eyes they saw just now were just illusions, but Yuji understands that that mood is just restrained by the strong girl. Although sad but don't want others to worry.,Goals, moods, and emotions are all carried together.,Occasionally, I enjoy a little happiness.,But when it's time to move forward, I'll still move forward decisively - a girl is such a strong existence.。

Yuji knew, whether it was Xana's mysterious identity as a fire mist warrior, or things that he couldn't use at all, but the powerlessness of not being able to do anything other than the small favor of 'feeding' still made Yuuji's heart clench fiercely.

It's a strange feeling, why do I care so much about the girl in front of me, is it just because she's my savior, or is it because of a girl of the same age who lives under the same roof......

Yuji couldn't help but start thinking crankily in his mind, and he didn't pay attention to the less and less bento in his hand after the 'picking' and 'feeding' procedures, and in the end-

“...... Bento, I'm done!"

Xana's dumbfounded voice rang out. When Yuji came back to his senses, he realized that the two bento boxes in his hand had been wiped out unconsciously, and even the portion that originally belonged to him had simply disappeared.

Okay, you can't blame anyone else for not noticing, but it's a stomachache story!

“...... This is for you, Yuji didn't eat anything at noon, right?"

After hesitating for a while, Xia Na handed over the pineapple bun as if it were some kind of treasure, and seeing that the girl looked like she wanted to eat it but had to resist the desire to hand it to him, Yuji couldn't help but laugh.

"Ah, it's okay, I've already eaten it"

A little lie.

A man's absence of anything is nothing, is it?

============================= divider =============================

All right.

It turns out that even if he is a man, after more than four hours of mental work, he will still be a little hungry, feeling the empty stomach pouch, after Yuji leaves the rooftop, he begins to think about where to forage for food!

There are also some leftover bread in the school commissary at this point, not only the appearance is rustic, but the taste is probably unsatisfactory, go to Beichuan and make do with them, so many people feel embarrassed......; The two girls felt that they couldn't pull their faces to open their mouths to them, and as for Hikiya Hachiman, there wasn't much pressure on Yuji to ask him for some food, but this guy was worthy of his title of 'invisible' small business, and when it came to his lunch break, he couldn't find anyone like a ninja, unless he showed up himself......

Alas, Yuuji, who muttered 'why is it so unreliable', had no choice but to go to the school commissary to buy that kind of ugly and unpalatable bread to nibble.

I went down the stairs and tried to restrain my stomach as much as possible, but even then I couldn't suppress the feeling of fasting

Just as Yuuji's stomach was 'growling' in protest, a voice came from under the stairs that he didn't expect

"Ahaha~~ See you again, Yuji-kun......"

"Yuuji"

"Mai and Sayuri" are two girls who also met on the day of the fireworks display. Speaking of which, it was precisely because of the fate of that chance encounter that they had become a relationship where they could call each other by name.

"You're here for lunch?"

The reason why I asked this is because Yuji saw the familiar lunch bag that Sayuri was carrying in his right hand, and I remember that the two girls also had lunch here when they first met, and they used the same lunch bag at the time, but the timing of his appearance that time was really embarrassing, so don't mention it.

"Ahaha~~ I remember that I was here when I first met Yu Erjun, the three of us are really fateful, it is rare to meet, how about Yu Erjun also come together?"

For the same reason as Yui Yuki's before, Yuji intends to refuse tactfully

"No, I've been—"

Mutter~~

"-Ate ......"

......

Well, this TM is embarrassing

"Ahaha~~ Yu Erjun really likes to joke...... How about coming along?"

“...... Yes."

However, fortunately, Mai and Sayuri didn't mind too much, but they kindly relieved him, and at this point, Yuji no longer held on, and kept up with the two, anyway, it's a free lunch, and it's not rubbed for nothing.

Watching Sayuri skillfully take out the napkins from the discarded desks, neatly spread them on the floor, and arrange the lunch boxes in the lunch bags in turn, Yuji already understood that this place was probably the usual lunch place for two people, right?

"Sa, please use!"

"Oh~~ This is really a rich meal!"

Take the chopsticks that Sayuri gave me. Looking at the three boxes in front of him full of more than a dozen good-looking dishes, as well as two boxes of rice balls wrapped in seaweed as the staple food, Yuji couldn't help but admire.

"Ahaha~~ It's over, but the meal is really fragrant when everyone eats it together," Sayuri said modestly, and didn't take credit for it.

"Well, it's like hiking, it feels good. ”

The preparation for lunch was completed, and Sayuri and the two sat down opposite each other, and Mai on the side had already picked up his chopsticks and folded his hands

""I'm moving!"

With their hands folded, the three of them began to enjoy a hearty lunch.

Yuji took an omelet out of the lunch box and put it in his mouth

En~~ The taste is salty but not astringent, the fried egg is tender and not tough, the entrance is melting, the heat is just right, and the subtle numb and spicy spices are like the finishing touch, which is really an excellent technique

"It's delicious, are these dishes all made by Sayuri alone?"

"Why does Yu Erjun think so? Maybe it's a dance?"

Looking at Mai, who was already focused on the bento, Yuji shook his head

"No, because Mai doesn't know how to cook at home."

Looking at Sayuri, who seemed to be surprised, 'Why do you know?', Yuji talked nonsense calmly

"Actually, Mai and I have already agreed that I will be a househusband at home in the future, and she will go out to work, so Mai will not cook......"

"Ahaha~~?" Sayouri lightly covered his small mouth with one hand, and looked at the two of them with a complicated gaze that didn't know whether he was surprised, envious or lonely, "Mai and Yuji-kun, it turns out that they have already agreed on a future relationship?"

As the saying goes, 'I'd rather ruin ten marriages than split one pair of hundreds', I always feel as if I have done something unforgivable!

"Dance~~ If it's not, you have to say no!!What if Sayuri really believes it?" Yuji was a little crying and laughing, when it comes to this kind of thing, he can still put all his energy on the bento, and I have to say that in some ways the dance is really powerful.

Finally taking her eyes off the bento, Mai looked up to find that Yuji and Sayuri were both staring at her, "...... No. ”

"It's too slow!!"

Ignoring Yuuji's spitting, Mai put the chopsticks to her mouth, staring at the lunch box in front of her with a straight gaze, and Yuji followed her line of sight to look over-

"Do you want sausages?"

“...... Yes."

Yuji put three small sausages in the shape of an octopus in the small saucer that he danced.

Watching the dance is like a non-stop in his hand, taking small bites of sausages into his mouth. The usual iceberg beauty turned into the eating appearance of a hamster like this, which is really a cute taste of contrast.

Soon, the little sausage was wiped out by the dance, and he put the chopsticks to his mouth again

"Do you want an omelet this time?"

Nodding and nodding~~

"If you want it, say you want it, if you don't want it, say no!"

Since Mai basically doesn't speak, and even if she says it, she only has a few simple words, and her facial expressions are only kept to a minimum of a few variations, Yuuji literally breaks a glass heart, and finally has to use her favorite food as a 'threat'

“...... I want to"

"What do you want??"

"Omelette"

It's not easy to finally say it smoothly!

"Yuji-kun, what are you doing here??" Sayuri looked at Yuji suspiciously

"Don't you think it's a great sense of accomplishment to be able to speak, and I'm even happier than getting a perfect score on an exam!"

"Ahaha~~?" Sayuri still doesn't understand, because there are too many perfect scores?

Yuji turned around and faced Mai again

"If you need anything, just say it, and I'll help. In addition, it's not good for girls to have such stiff expressions all the time, so you have to smile more!"

Mai didn't move her chopsticks immediately, but stared straight at Yuji and asked, "Laugh?"

"That's it," Yu Er's index fingers against the corners of his mouth, and he showed the dance a slight upward lift

"So?"

"Hahaha~~, w, dance, what kind of strange expression do you have!"

Yuji almost burst out laughing, the guy who usually has been expressionless makes this kind of funny action, and the power is simply devastating.

Smack, the hand knife complained, and it fell on Yuuji's head.

"Yuuji, it's too much!"

"Huh, what's going on?"

"Mingming...... It's the same as Yuji, but he makes fun of me!"

"It's because you learn from me that you laugh at you, hehehehehe......"

Syllable~~

"Pain~~"
