CH 40

Lunch break.

The four of us, Takayuki, Saegusa, and Shimizu, had decided to eat our lunches together again today.

As I was opening my lunch box, Shimizu-san handed one of the lunch boxes to Takayuki with a slightly embarrassed “Here you go.”

Takayuki happily accepted it, saying, “Oh, thank you.”

The two of them surprised me, Saegusa, and the rest of the class who were watching them.

I had always thought that it was only in the world of manga and anime that a girlfriend would make a lunch box, so I was very surprised at the scene that had just taken place in front of me.

And at the same time, I was filled with the thought, “Seriously, that’s nice.”

“Takayuki, ah, that’s…”

“Hmm? Oh, it’s Sakurako’s homemade lunch box, isn’t it nice?”

When I shakily asked, Takayuki smiled and boasted about the lunch box Shimizu-san had given him.

Shimizu-san blushed and smiled happily at Takayuki’s appearance.

–What is this? What kind of romantic comedy is this?!

As I looked at the two faces alternately, my heart was filled with excitement at the romantic comedy between the two of them that was now taking place in reality.

Shimizu-san then picked up a piece of fried chicken with her chopsticks from her own lunch box, her face reddening with embarrassment, and presented it to Takayuki, saying, “Here, Takashi-kun.”

I didn’t know Shimizu-san was such a bold girl! I was beyond bewildered at the sight of such a romantic comedy.

It seems that Takayuki did not expect this, and he replied with a small “O, oh” while his face turned red, and then he took a bite of the fried chicken offered by Shimizu-san.

At the same time, I could hear the disappointed voices of the boys leaking out from the classroom, “Ooooo, …….”

This is a dream come true from Shimizu-san, an extremely beautiful girl who is considered one of the two most beautiful girls in the school year. …… The shock to the boys who had feelings for her will be immeasurable.

“Well, what do you think?”

“Yeah, it’s good! Okay, well, I’ll return the favor, here!”

Shimizu-san shyly asked with an upward glance, to which Takayuki replied with a big smile that it was delicious.

This time, Takayuki picked up one of the fried chicken with his chopsticks and presented it to Shimizu-san.

Shimizu-san, who seemed to have never expected such a counter attack, turned red at once.

“A, aaaano”

“Just open your mouth and say, “Aah!””

“…… Uh, uhm, a, ahh.

To be honest, Shimizu-san was really cute as she opened her small and cute mouth as told, even though her face was bright red.

Then Takayuki put the fried chicken into her mouth.

At the same time, I could hear the disappointed voices of the girls in the classroom, who seemed to have unintentionally leaked out, “Ooo…….”

Takayuki, a fresh, athletic, handsome man with a bright, dazzling smile, is able to give you a dream tour, and the shock to the girls who had feelings for him will be immeasurable. ……

“you’re the one who made it for me, but what do you think?”

“It’s delicious, …….”

Takayuki asked with an embarrassed laugh, to which Shimizu-san, who was mugging and blushing, replied happily.

I was watching the two of them battle it out right in front of me, and I was smiling at the sight of them loving each other, but at the same time I was starting to get jealous.

I wish …… I could get Saegusa to give me this kind of ……, but then I remembered that Saegusa had shared meatballs with me on our field trip.

As I remembered this, I looked over at Saegusa-san, who was also watching the two of them making out right in front of me with a slightly envious look on her face, but with a smile on her face.

Then she picked up one meatball from her own lunch box with her chopsticks and glanced sideways at me, her cheeks turning a little red.

No, no way, ……!? I thought, but I was at once thrilled to see Saegusa-san like that.

However, unlike Takayuki and the others, Saegusa and I are not in a relationship, and I can easily imagine that if Saegusa were to ask me about my feelings in a classroom like this, it would be more than just a fuss.

While I was thinking about this and feeling nervous in many ways, Saegusa-san looked at me sideways and seemed to give up, then sighed once and took a bite of the meatball into her mouth.

I was a little disappointed, but relieved that nothing had happened.

But Saegusa-san suddenly smiled as she clasped her hands together as if something had hit her, and then she put down her chopsticks and took out her phone from her bag.

Then, just as I thought she was typing something fast and furious, she put her phone down on the desk and froze, looking a little red-faced and nervous as she looked forward.

What’s going on? I thought, and noticed that the notification light on my phone, which was on my desk, was blinking.

I opened my phone and saw that it was a Lime notification from Saegusa-san.

“Do you have time after school today?

I looked from the screen of my phone to Saegusa-san next to me, wondering if it was Lime who was typing so intensely earlier, and there she was, glancing sideways at me while looking forward.

I know it was because she didn’t want anyone around her to hear, but she was so cute that I couldn’t help but pout.

I know it was because she didn’t want people to hear, but I still couldn’t help but pout at how cute Saegusa was, even though she was right next to me.

She looked at me sideways and looked a little embarrassed, but then she checked her phone and her face instantly turned into a happy expression.

“Thank you! There is a place I want to go!”

Saegusa-san happily spoke directly to me.

I’ve been trying to communicate with her discreetly on Lime, but she was so happy that she forgot all about it.

Takayuki and Shimizu were also looking at me, wondering what was going on when Saegusa suddenly said something incomprehensible.

However, I couldn’t help but smile when I saw Saegusa smiling happily at me without seeming to care about such things.

“Well, let’s go there.”

“Yes! I’m looking forward to it!”

When I replied, Saegusa smiled happily as she clasped her hands together.

She was simply adorable today, just like an angel.
