Chapter 2081: Gathering for Lunch

Chapter 2081: Gathering for Lunch



After the first period, Shio told me to rest and not escort her this time. She was being considerate of my mental strength that I used to answer all those foreign words in her quiz.

Likewise, the girls who crowded around me also behaved a little, worried that I toasted my brain for listening to a lesson at the same time as answering a pop quiz exclusively for myself. They're that thoughtful. Or are they?

In any case, I used that time to immerse myself in their comfort. In particular, I found Mio who let me rest my head on her chest as well, just like with Hana earlier.

Aya offered it as well when Mio returned to her seat and I naturally took it up.

I'd scold myself if I rejected my adorable Aya's thoughtful gesture. I'm not particular about the size at all, it's the comfort it can bring!

Alright. Who am I explaining to?

Other than that, Chii exhibited her goofiness by massaging my back but I took advantage of that by pulling her arm to my front, turning it into another comfortable embrace. This time with an additional bonus of seeing the fake gyaru blushing closely.

As for the rest, they either cursed at me like Satsuki, shook their head like Nami, or giggled like Hina and Saki. There were all sorts of reactions including our other classmates.

Was I being high-key by doing that? Maybe, but I guess I don't care anymore.

My brain must've really gotten fried from Shio's quiz.

Following that, the next period flashed by in a blink.

There's nothing much to note other than the teachers noticing my presence. They were all informed about the reason for my absence so there wasn't any problem on that part.

Unfortunately, I couldn't ask them to make a quiz for me to catch up with the lesson so I relied on my girls who didn't hesitate to review the previous day's lesson with me.

Eventually, lunch break arrived.

Nami, who especially made a lunchbox for me, was the first to stand up as soon as the teacher left our classroom.

With her bright smile that seemed to radiate a homely aura as she brought a tall lunch box covered in cloth over, everyone's attention was stolen by her.

They probably wondered what was in it and why it was that tall. Whether she prepared it herself or not.

My other girls also never expected it as they looked at her with a hint of surprise and awe. "Come on, Ruu. Let's eat. I especially asked my mom to guide me to cook this for you." Saying all that for everyone to hear, the girl earned a lot of their praises and of course, a few boys frowned at her blatant display of affection.

In any case, none of those were relevant to her as she was only waiting for my reaction.

"I should thank Auntie Kasumi next time. Your hands seem fine after making this."

"Mom was too strict! I spent an hour slicing the ingredients with a knife. She made sure I would do it perfectly."

"Ah. I can imagine that scene." I let out a short chuckle which immediately put a pout on her face.

I glanced behind me and smiled at the two.

"Because you're not a stranger to me. Besides..." As I trailed my voice there, my eyes focused

on the orange-haired girl who couldn't look at me properly.

I went to her first and she didn't say anything when I showed up in her classroom. She silently followed me.

"... I want to make it up to Yuika-senpai. Can I apologize for yesterday?"

As my tone turned softer, the girl responded with a quaint nod. Seeing that, the green-haired Minori-senpai didn't say anything else.

She told me she was going to come and talk to me today. It'll be bad if she shows up in our classroom and I'm not there, right?

This way, she didn't need to look for me anymore. We can slip away and step outside for a

moment for that talk.

"Yayoi-san prepared a huge lunch box but I'll apologize in advance because..."

"The room will be rowdy?" Minori-senpai finished my sentence.

And I guiltily nodded.

She let out a sigh before chuckling, "That's the least we expected from you... You seemed to

be so confident that gathering a large group of people and it's all women at that, was nothing

special... Maybe that's what sets you apart from others."

"Am I being praised?"

"And criticized. Are you sure you can keep everyone in place?"

"I am. Watch me, senpai."

I shrugged before slowing down my steps to put myself in between them.

I acted cheekily like this to check how they would react and sure enough, they had a differing

reaction.

Yuika-senpai was still wary of me. However, it's not the same way as before anymore. Perhaps the events of yesterday already washed away her prejudice against me. Minori-senpai, on the other hand, didn't care at all. She only confirmed that Yuika-senpai wasn't distressed. That was her reason for coming. To also protect her. I'm just a second thought to her. Or maybe third since there's also Haruko who took care of them before I
