Just as the phone screen was about to dim, a new message popped up.

Harumi: Is it in the same class as Naoko?

Naoko smiled.

Naoko: Yes.

The same sentiment was probably transmitted to his side, she thought.

Putting away her phone, Naoko looked left and right, and quickened her pace to leave the empty hallway.

Outside, on a bench in the corner of the atrium, a girl was waving to her.

"Naoko—this way."

She walked over, sat down next to her, and took the bento from the other person's hand, "Thank you, Kazumi." ”

Opening her share of the bento, Kazumi Suzuki took a bite first, and then asked, "What did Naoko ask about when she went to the teacher?" ”

"I have a friend who is going to transfer to Tsu High School in the second semester, so please ask me to ask his class."

"Eh, transferring in the second semester?"

"Hmm." Naoko opens the bento.

Kazumi thought for a while and said, "I always feel a little embarrassed to transfer schools at this time." ”

Naoko asked casually, "Why do you say that?" ”

"What do you think, at the end of the first semester, and after the summer vacation, the various small groups in the class have basically taken shape, and it is difficult to fit in, especially on the club side;

And then there's the cultural festival, and everyone is very busy, so there is little time to make new friends.

If you help out a little while preparing for the festival, you may be able to make a few friends after the festival is over. But it's hard to say about this kind of thing, and if the personality is not good, you will even be isolated......

If you can't make friends in the second semester, it's even harder in the third semester. I can't make friends when I get promoted to second grade next year and reassigned to another class! ”

"It's so pessimistic, and beautiful." Naoko smiled.

"No, no, Naoko is very popular in school, and I probably don't feel it, but the real social situation of high school students is so cruel......"

And Meiman's face is serious, if you ignore the rice grains at the corners of her mouth, and the flowering intestines in her mouth.

"It's better to get your friends ready early."

"Can't you make friends?"

"Of course."

"Okay." Naoko didn't refuse her kindness, "I'll tell him." ”

The two continued to have lunch.

Because the department was busy and was not allowed to eat, many members of the handicraft club came to the atrium.

After saying hello to another girl not far away and taking a few more bites of food, Kazumi suddenly noticed that Naoko next to her was looking at the bento and was distracted.

At one point, she stared at the two grains of rice on the chopsticks and whispered:

"There's nothing wrong with that...... It's enough for me to have the spring sea...... Chunhai also only needs me ......"

“……”

It's too heavy!

Kazumi only felt that the air pressure around her body and even in the entire atrium had become a little lower.

Although she had long discovered that Naoko occasionally unconsciously exuded a heavy aura when she was alone, it rarely reached this level.

Who the hell is that "harumi"?

She was already beginning to regret her mouthful.

"That! Having said that, at this year's cultural festival, what is the work that Naoko prepared herself? ”

In order to reverse the heavy atmosphere, Kazumi bluntly brought up a new topic.

According to the custom of the handicraft society, during the cultural festival, in addition to completing a work that is common to all members, each member of the department must also prepare his own personal work.

"All I'm good at is sewing puppets and making small things like cloth."

Naoko came back to her senses from her trance, naturally took her words, and continued to eat the bento.

"I'm going to make a group of small animal puppets, with the theme of the zodiac."

"That's ......"

"Hmm."

Seeing that this topic was about to end here, Kazumi squeezed out another sentence: "I feel that this theme is a bit ordinary, and it is not easy to be noticed, and it is a pity that the puppets made by Naoko are very exquisite, and it is a pity that no one cares." ”

Naoko smiled, looking unconcerned, "That's not bad. ”

"Does Naoko usually watch anime? Why don't you do some of the more popular characters recently, such as Little Boqi......"

"—Naoko."

The appearance of another person interrupted Kazumi's words.

She turned her head to look and saw that it was a short-haired girl in a basketball uniform walking towards her, and her eyes lit up.

"Takigawa-san!"

"Yo." Hikaru Takikawa smiled at her, then sat down next to Naoko.

She pointed towards the gymnasium, "I saw you when I came out of there, and I felt that the back was a little similar, and it was really Naoko." ”

"Light." Naoko smiled at her.

"How did you come to school today?" Hikaru Takikawa asked.

Kazumi hurriedly replied on the side: "The members of our handicraft club are all here today!" ”

"Craft Society, to prepare for the cultural festival?"

"Yes!"

Takikawa looked at the others in the atrium and said casually, "It's really hard." ”

"Did Takikawa-san just finish training too?" Kazumi looked at the sweat on her face.

"Well, it just ended - sorry, the smell of sweat is heavy."

"No, no, it's okay!"

Looking at Kazumi who was inexplicably excited beside her, Naoko gestured with her eyes, intending to exchange places with her.

And Kazumi stared at Hikaru Takikawa, not noticing her gaze at all, and then asked, "Doesn't Takikawa-san eat lunch?" ”

"Ahh......h

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, "Actually, I forgot to bring a bento." I'm thinking about whether to go outside the school and find a place to fill my stomach. ”

Kazumi's eyes suddenly brightened, "If you don't mind, my bento can be given to Takikawa-san!" ”

"That's not going to work."

Hikaru Takikawa stood up and walked up to her, "How can I make you hungry." ”

"Takigawa-san......"

Kazumi looked up and smirked, her body and mind were about to melt.

Naoko watched from the side.

Very good at pleasing girls.,People can't help but want to rely on.,This is the other side of Hikaru Takikawa.。

"But ......" Hikaru Takikawa lowered his eyes and swept Kazumi's lunch, "It should be okay to eat a little bit of an egg roll, right?" ”

"No problem!"

"In that case, it's rude."

She picked up an egg roll with her hand and put it in her mouth.

"Hmm...... It tastes really good. Ah, don't worry, I just washed my hands. ”

"One more piece!"

"Is that okay?"

"Of course!"

"Then let's have another piece of this."

"Takigawa-san, try this barbecued pork again!"

"Looks good."

Hikaru Takikawa picked up a few pieces of food and put them in his mouth, and after eating them all, he licked his lips again, still a little unsatisfied.

She looked at Naoko next to her, who had already picked up a small half of the bento and put it on the lid, and handed it to her along with the spare chopsticks.

"Naoko ......"

Naoko only showed a light smile, which also made people feel extremely gentle, "You're welcome." ”

Hikaru Takikawa looked at her for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he only picked up an egg roll and put it in his mouth.

"One piece is enough."

Naoko took back the lunch, the smile on her face unchanged.

"So be it." Hikaru Takikawa licked his fingertips and finally smiled at the two of them, "Thank you for your hospitality, I won't bother you." ”

Until she walked away, Kazumi was still looking over there.

Takigawa-san...... It's really handsome. ”

Naoko didn't squeak and continued to eat the bento.

It's not that she can't feel the special charm of Hikaru Takikawa, nor is it that she can't understand her extremely high popularity between the opposite sex and even the same sex, but occasionally finds that her gaze at her has a deep meaning, which makes it impossible for her to be as unreservedly immersed in the other party's thoughtfulness as Kazumi next to her.

Is it because he is too sensitive and careful, Naoko thought to herself.

"Ahh

Kazumi suddenly let out a dry sound.

Naoko turned her head to look at her, only to see Hikaru Takikawa walking around the atrium for half a circle, and then sitting next to the other two girls.

Then, as if what had just happened here was repeating itself there, she was enthusiastically "fed" by two admirers.

It's like using your charm to cheat and cheat everywhere......

"Could it be that the bento I made wasn't delicious enough?" Kazumi looked straight over there, and Naoko didn't know if she was mourning herself or complaining to her.

"I'm probably worried that I'm eating too much, but I'll make Kazumi hungry." Naoko said.

This sentence reached the heart of the heart, and Kazumi immediately turned her head and nodded, "I think so too!" ”

Naoko smiled, "Let's continue eating." ”

"Uh-huh."

The two of them continued to eat their lunches, but neither could fully concentrate on them.

And Hikaru Takikawa, who distracted them, was like a butterfly that had stumbled upon a large garden, picking from place to place, stopping at every flower she encountered, but none of the flowers could keep her focused.

As the first flower to be "eaten" by her, Hemei's face is not only satisfied, but occasionally reveals a bit of grief for being abandoned;

And after Naoko watched it for a while, she only felt that the athlete's appetite was really not small.

It seems to be a bit stretched......

Feeling the fullness in his abdomen, Hikaru Takikawa squeezed out a smile to the girl next to him, "Thank you for your hospitality, it's almost time for me to go back to training." ”

"Is enough enough? Don't Takikawa-sans need to eat a little more? ”

"No, I've been ...... Filled with your love and passion. ”

"Ahh

Waving goodbye to the two girls who couldn't be named, Hikaru Takikawa walked towards the gymnasium. The afternoon training didn't start so early, she just wanted to find a place where no one was there to lie down for a while.

As she was about to leave the atrium, she glanced back.

Naoko, who was originally sitting on the corner bench, and another girl, had disappeared at this time, and had probably returned to the club department.

"Naoko ......"

Recalling that calm and gentle face, Hikaru Takikawa felt both regretful and full of anticipation for the future.
