CH 82

Living together – confirmed to continue.

“…… Phew.”

It’s been a long time since we’ve been together, but with the help of everyone and their magic, Lida and I have been able to continue our sweet life together. I’m really grateful to everyone.

When we left the principal’s office, the lunch break was over. We all went back to our classrooms, but Lida stopped in the corridor.

“I’m hungry, Oojirou.”

“Yes, it’s hard to go to class without eating something.”

“Let’s go to the canteen. There’s a bun machine. We can buy some from there.”

“That’s a good idea. Let’s go.”

It doesn’t matter if we skip a bit of class. I was more than happy to be living together now, and I wanted to share that joy with Lida.

When I entered the cafeteria, it was supposed to be empty. Unfortunately, there was a person ahead of us.

“Azusa, president ……skipping class.”

“Oojirou, that’s exactly what I wanted to say to you.”

“I agree with Azusa.”

It seems that they were also hungry.

“Okay, everyone cooperated, so this is on me.”

“””Really!?”””

The three of them are surprisingly happy. It depends on the flavor of the bun, but it’s only 150 yen a piece.

“There you go, you can choose! Cream, chocolate, melon, strawberry, peanut ……, you name it.”

Lida bought the chocolate flavor, Azusa the cream flavor, and the president the strawberry flavor. I don’t have enough money to buy one for me …… aaaaah ……!!

“Uhhh …”

I didn’t have much money in my wallet… Damn it, I bought a drink and now I’m broke. I don’t want to look uncool.

“What’s the matter, Oojirou?”

“No, it’s nothing, Lida.”

We take a seat at a suitable table and are immediately served some buns. But I don’t have anything to eat.

“Why don’t you eat Kamishiro-kun?”

“No, president. I’m not hungry…….”

But at an inopportune time, the stomach rumbles with a guu ……. In front of three girls …… it’s embarrassing ……!

“Oojirou, your stomach is rumbling.”

“…… Ugh, ugh.”

“Oh, I can’t help it… Half a loaf.”

Azusa shared her half-eaten cream bun with me. Seriously? She’s a deity!

“So, feel free to take it …….”

When I tried to accept it, Lida and the president offered me half a bun.  In front of me, Lida and the president’s buns, also uneaten.  It’s the buns that they each had a bite of. …… Hey, hey, hey, indirect kissing.

Aside from Lida, even Azusa and the president are ……!　

What kind of reward is this? I’m not going to say no to this. I’ll take this as a favor.

“Thank you, Lida, Azusa, President.”

When I thanked them, they all blushed. Um … It’s hard for me to eat when I’m so embarrassed. But you can’t beat the hunger.

I ate the buns, savoring them gratefully.

Class is over, after school.

We were left in the classroom, and Lida and I began our activities as the homecoming club.

“Today, Azusa-chan has a part-time job.”

Lida, who sits on my desk, gives me that information. Oh, right, the shop at the boat race track. Azusa is too cute in her maid outfit. I want to take a picture of her next time.

“Let’s go and make fun of her sometime.”

“I like that!”

“You want to go boat racing again?”

“Yes.”

There is a bit of silence as we talked about these other things. If it is ……, isn’t now the right time, me?

I have to confess.

I sit up quietly and look at Lida.

“…… Lida.”

“…… Yes.”

Lida’s cheeks were red and her eyes were moist, as if she was waiting for me to confess. A slight look of anticipation.

If this is the case, …… this is surely the way to go.

I gathered up my courage.

I hugged Lida, who was sitting at my desk.

“Lida, I love you ……!”
