chapter 20

The next day.

Something happened during lunch break.

The class was in a stir and all of their sights were pointed towards the front of the classroom.

“Hello.”

The very Abeno-senpai who’s a beauty with F-cup breasts and placed somewhere in the top of the caste in the school has entered our classroom without any context– Rather, she came here to meet me so naturally there will be a commotion.

And then she walked in a straight line to where I was.

“Morishita-kun? Have you had your lunch?”

“Not yet, why?”

She took out a small package from her satchel.

“I’ve made bentou for you, too. Well then… Let’s eat together in the courtyard.”

I froze for a bit and stood still on the spot.

Naturally, my classmates who were looking at the situation and heard that they also got frozen.

Because she’s a girl who has her own fan-club after all.

Rather… If there’s a god of destiny then he has no intention of letting me spend my school life in peace.

“I-I-It’s not like I made it just for you, t-t-that’s why don’t get any weird ideas about it!”

“A tsundere line out of nowhere however, it’s not moe since you told it with your usual expressionless face…”

She wears a stiff expression on her face that’s being called cool beauty from everyone.

But, since I’m the only one aware of unfortunate interior, I can’t see anything but an iron mask.

I left that aside, and then I open the bentou to see what’s in it and it had octopus sausage, bacon with asparagus, boiled spinach with soy sauce and karaage. (TN: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karaage)

“ Sorry for asking, but what’s with the sudden bentou?”

“It’s for the level up matter… It’s for the one-sided debt. Well, I don’t think I can repay it back with just this much…”

Hee, while thinking there’s no place for her being cute, I asked her again.

“But, didn’t this bentou take plenty of time to prepare?”

And then she laughed and flicked her long hair.

“All of it is frozen food. I just microwaved it. The time it took it’s 10 minutes.”

“It’s all over the place! You could’ve lied that it was home-made at least!”

While being dejected I put the bacon with asparagus in my mouth.

“How is it? Is it tasty?”

“It’s normal”

Well, it is frozen food.

Maybe my mother’s dishes are too good… And I became speechless.

Abeno-senpai was crying.

“What happened, senpai!?”

“Despite making the bentou until the early morning… you said it’s normal… heartless…”

“Er!? Didn’t you say it was frozen food!?”

“I was hiding my embarrassment. I didn’t want it to be thought as I seriously made it for you.”

“By the way, until how early in the morning?”

“2 a.m”

“That time normally for the world isn’t early morning but rather late at night!”

“I’ve also hid it from embarrassment. I didn’t want it to be thought as I seriously made it for you.”

“Despite making it and giving it to me can already be called as serious decisions you’re being stubborn at weird places!”

“There’s that, too.”

She took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

Rather, she had been crying in the call a while back, this girl surprisingly might be innocent.

“Hey, Morishita-kun?”

“What is it?”

“I’ll stop being stubborn just for this lunch break… I’ll say it once, so listen well with your ears, okay?”

She went silent for a bit.

And then while breathing deeply she talked.

“Thank you… You helped me a lot.”

She had a gentle smile and offered her right hand to me.

Her silky long black hair was glittering in the spring sun and her magnificent beauty stood out even more like she wasn’t made in this world.

Her smile… even if it was just for a second, I cannot help but agree that it has gripped my heart.

I offered my right hand in return.

We did a firm shake and with a smile I talked to Abeno-senpai.

“Senpai’s smile… It’s really charming.”

Abeno-senpai’s cheeks reddened for a bit and she went silent.

Rather, normally she’ll only be silent for 10 seconds.

Huh? I became confused.

Honestly, I didn’t expect this reaction from her. Usually she would call me bastard or pervert or shameless…

“Senpai? Aren’t you very obedient today?”

Abeno-senpai lightly sighed while putting the octopus sausage in her mouth.

“Isn’t it okay to be like this from time to time?”

“This is also one of the faces of senpai…”

“I’ve decided to only be obedient at lunch breaks. I’m truly thankful, Morishita-kun.”

“Don’t mention it.”

“In the future, if something happens to you… I will put you as priority over everything and I’ll help you. So hereafter, if there’s something troubling you… Remember that you’ve created a huge favor for me.”

“Huge favor… You’re exaggerating.”

“It is what you did…”

“By the way, this karaage is delicious.”

“Well, I do have confidence in making it.”

“I’m sorry for saying your hard made bacon with asparagus is normal.”

“It’s not bad apologizing normally.”

“However, it’s also senpai’s fault for saying it was frozen food.”

“That’s because-”

And like that we were talking about random things-

And then we slowly ate the bentou and we returned to our own respective class.
