"This is the cafeteria of 'Oransei Gakuen'"
"..."
The place where I was brought to you was a fashionable and very large space that was completely different from the cafeteria I knew.
Simple chairs on many round tables arranged like a coffee shop terrace.
At each table, students are having a good time chatting and eating.
: There is a cafeteria in my high school, but it is a general cafeteria that is everywhere and not so beautiful.
Ryo laughed as she was amazed at the scene in front of her.
"Hahahahaha! Everyone is surprised at first! But that's not all? Look, look at this."
"e?"
The next thing that Ryo showed was the menu table.
And when I saw the menu, I was stunned again.
First, the types were overwhelming.
Japanese, Western, and Chinese are commonplace, and there are also Spanish, Russian, and so on.
Food was also prepared for each religion.
"It seems that the food here is made by chefs who worked at a three-star restaurant."
`` Three stars !? ''
I opened my eyes to Shingo's words.
No, no, no money to eat such high quality! It's impossible to continue eating even if you can pay now!
Ryo grinned grinningly, thinking that she could read my thoughts.
"Would you like to be even more surprised?-The food here --- all 500 yen?"
――――
I had no choice but to really speak.
Oh, is this heaven?
Can you enjoy three-star class cuisine with one coin? I don't understand it anymore.
"Well, although it costs 500 yen, there are certainly some students who are living alone and are financially strict. This is" Student's Daily Lunch "that is prepared for such students."
"Daily lunch?"
"Oh, the content changes daily so I can't choose, but the price is ... free?"
"..."
I already knew it at the class stage, but it was clear here.
This school is too different from others.
After listening to the words of Ryo and Shingo, we decided on a menu, and when we received the set, we sat in a nearby seat.
Ryo is a crab tomato cream pasta, and Shingo is a tonkatsu set meal.
I heard that it was 500 yen, so I chose the hamburger set meal of Japanese black beef because it seemed as expensive as possible. No, I want to eat a little luxury.
"Let's eat!"
"I have you"
After the pre-meal greetings, we concentrated on each meal.
I put the hamburger in my mouth, and I hardened it to such a good taste.
, Nanda Kore.
The gravy is dough! Fluff in your mouth! Pu, delicious!
The hamburger was so delicious that I lost my vocabulary.
Looking at me as I was eating my meal, Ryo and others were laughing and eating their own things.
"Hey, hey ... look a little!"
"Who is that boy ...?"
"Transfer student?"
When I was eating, I suddenly noticed that the surrounding area was noisy.
"What is it? Isn't it something?"
"Huh? There's Yuu?"
"Because I'm there? Oh, it's a different school uniform.
"..."
"Hmm? What happened?"
"... No, nothing."
"???"
I think that Ryo saw it with eyes like "Hey, really?"
When you are eating while chatting, Ryo asks you as he notices.
"Speaking of which, is night club a club?"
"e?"
"This school is very strong in sports and all clubs are strong?"
"is that so……"
"So, if you are doing club activities in a high school where Yuya is going right now, I wonder if you will enter there."
I'm normal, but I don't do club activities.
It was a difficult life just to pay the club fees, and I was not allowed to forgive such a youth in the first place.
In addition, if you do athletic club activities with my current body, it will probably be difficult.
I responded to Ryo with a bitter smile.
"I'm sorry, but I don't play club activities."
"Hey? Really? It's surprising."
"What about Ryo and Shingo?"
"I ?? I'm home too."
"Huh? That's right. I wonder if you're doing athletic club activities ..."
It may be prejudice, but I'm surprised that Ryo's appearance was like a refreshing sportsman.
Then, Shingo-kun told me with a laugh.
"Ri, Ryo-kun is good at a variety of exercises, and he was recruited from various places at the time of enrollment.
"That's right !? Then why?"
I asked while thinking that there was something like a manga, and Ryo answered nothing.
"Hmm ... I wanted to try a lot ..."
"various?"
"Oh. I played soccer in junior high school and went to a pretty good line .... After entering this school, I thought I would like to play soccer but also to experience a lot, so I ended up going home."
"But I'm really involved in various club activities as Ryo-kun's assistant, and I'm getting great results each time."
"Stop it because it's shy."
Ryo laughed shyly as she was shy.
It's really like a manga resident. It's not a bad thing, it's a really good guy and it's a popular guy.
"I see ... Is there such a style ..."
"Yes. If you enter this school, you can experience many things without forcing club activities. In that sense, Shingo's club activities have changed."
"Hey? @What department do you belong to?"
When I asked so, Shingo-kun told me with a smile.
"Bo, I belong to the game club."
"Game Club !? What is a game ... video game?"
"that's right"
Seriously ... can I bring this school confidently? I thought that I was free to do accessories and hair colors, but are they allowed to do so?
Shingo told me why he was surprised at the freedom of the Uranus Academy.
"Well, of course I can't do it during class, but I can use games and smartphones during breaks. There are no people who play with smartphones and games in class, so even though it is high school, there can be a game club. ''
"Huh ..."
I just sighed.
In other words, this school trusts students and allows smartphones and games.
But most importantly, the students are working hard not to betray their trust. There is such a thing.
I heard a lot of other amazing stories, and I was able to have a very fulfilling lunch.
***
After school, I visited the school director's office and talked to Mr. Hojo.
"So how was it? This school is"
I told him with a gentle smile what I thought honestly.
"... It was amazing. The classes were easy to understand and the facilities were enriched. But the most impressive thing was that the students were very lively."
Yes, all the students at this school were shining.
Everybody is bored at the high school I go to today.
Students who are adolescents in club activities often say that during the daytime classes and during breaks, they are “loose” and “want to go home”.
But I haven't heard that word since I came to this school.
No, I'm not saying nothing, but I haven't heard it yet.
Everyone seems to be having fun and enjoying this school from the bottom of their hearts.
I felt it strongly in today's experience.
Hearing my words, Tsuji nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes. I'm glad to have you say so .... So how about? Why don't you go to this school?"
"... Is it okay to let me go?"
Is it worth it to attend this school?
I have not found anything I am good at or proud of.
A better child than me who doesn't know anything ...
She thought so and gently said as if she had read in my heart.
"Yu-kun. Your value is something you decide, and others can decide."
"e?"
"And you're worth it now to attend this school ... do you think so?"
"…………Yes"
I answer after a while.
"But I think you're worth going to this school."
"Ah……"
When I heard the words, I looked straight at him.
"It's okay. If you want to find value and you can't find it ... just find it at this school. You have time."
――――
Tsukasa's words came straight into my chest.
And ----.
"Um ... this is me, but if you like please let me go to this school"
"Of course! We welcome you."
I would go to this planet again.
