"Hey, you, Ibarato. You two are still getting along today. I envy you. Oh, can I join you for lunch?

"I don't like it. I want you to be alone with your boyfriend."

As Mr. Barron put it, it was peaceful that day... but in a way someone who was not at peace visited at lunch.

I'm Senior Tatsuzu. He showed up before us yesterday today.

"... if it's okay next to me, I'm free, seniors."

Bassari and truncated by Mr. Nanami, his senior was depressed like a scolded dog.

... I feel sorry for him, and I pointed next to my seat. He sits next to me happy. [M]

"Yangshin..."

"No, look... we're the only ones here."

"Mr. Curtain Dance... After being impressed by your kindness, I'm a little shocked by that statement..."

Seniors held lunchboxes like I had twice as many. A glimpse of the contents...... fried, hamburger, grilled meat, tonkatsu...... lunchbox with plenty of chopped cabbage in the meat on-parade...... the amount of rice was unusual too.

By the way, my lunch today is dominated by shrimp fries. Shrimp fries were pretty much the first shrimp, and they were as splendid as they were served in a restaurant.

They didn't ask me for lunch yesterday, so I was looking forward to seeing what was coming, but this is more than I expected.

The excitement of the moment I opened my lunchbox felt like it had returned to my child's heart.

"My house, when it comes to celebrating, shrimp fries are a classic. It's a lunch to celebrate yesterday's battle victory."

I see that's why they didn't ask for your request yesterday......

Seniors who lost that battle are next door, but let's not worry about it for now......

"Sometimes, Mr. Curtain Dance... actually, today... it's you I have business with."

"Heh? Can I finish my lunch then?

"Oh, I don't mind.... By the way, I was wondering if you could swap one of my tonkatsu for an egg roll..."

"Sorry, I refuse to do that"

It is an instant answer.

Naturally, there's no way I can think of exchanging lunches that Nanakai-san made for me for people...

I guess the seniors couldn't do it either...... just a little nagging.

"... Senior, what are you doing here?

Nanakai spoke to the seniors herself when she let her grump toward them and her delight in what I said no to.

"Oh, Ibarato-san... I'm sorry to be alone. As I said, I have business with your boyfriend, Curtain Dance."

Since yesterday's battle, seniors have changed the name of Mr. Nanakai from "Mr. Nanakai" to "Mr. Ibarato".

I guess it's the bullying from losing the battle and the cleanliness from giving up on her already.

Hopefully, that cleanliness would have been demonstrated a little sooner.

"What do you want me to do? Yesterday's battle is over... and you don't have a senior to talk to me about, do you?

"Don't tell me you miss me so much. Even though... right, to get straight to you, I want you to be friends with me. So I was wondering if you could exchange contacts."

... Why would we be talking about that?

"Even though I have a handful, I have a lot of respect for you for beating me to the head of the basketball club. You were the man she deserved... that's why I wanted to be friends with you."

I just won using dirty hands, but apparently among seniors that's seen as the result of a decent battle.

Hmmm...... maybe this guy is pure for better or worse. My conscience hurts just a little bit.

"... and if you and Ibarato become friends, we might be able to get a little closer together as friends."

... I want my conscience back, which hurt a little.

I mean, around telling me that, I knew this guy was a little stupid.

I hate to tell you, seniors, but this guy is a dumb character, even though he's a long, handsome, basketball head.

"... Senior Sakatsu is the only one who specializes in basketball... I'm sorry about everything else... it's popular with girls that it tickles their maternal instincts."

Suddenly I heard Nanakai-san whispering near my ear.

The exhalation in my ear along with the words in my mouth makes my spine tremble in a different way than surprising.

WHAT IS THIS?! WHAT IS THIS COMFORTABLE ZOXO?!

I'm about to drop my lunchbox, but I can do something about it. Danger, danger...

I didn't know it was so destructive to have a raw, close voice than to talk on the phone...... I feel indescribably freaked out when my exhale hits my ear... it's going to be a habit.

Another thing, I made a new discovery today.

I am impressed by it alone, but Mr. Nanakai didn't seem to notice it.

"... Mr. Seven Seas... didn't get his maternal instincts tickled...?

I didn't have the courage to put my face close to Nanakai's ear, so I asked her in a whisper. Mr. Nanakai approached me again... and whispered in his ear.

"… at all…. When I confessed, my chest looked at me... and my maternal instincts didn't tickle me at all, did they?

It's a tough opinion.

Well, you owe it to me now, so you should be thankful that my senior just looked at my breasts. I saw Nanakai's face again and strengthened my gratitude to him. [M]

"So, curtain dancer. What do you say? Will you be friends with me?

"Um... I'd be happy to. However, Mr. Seven Seas will never give in."

"I already know that. I set up a battle yesterday, but I'm going to find my next love."

Looking for your next love...... does that still make you feel like Mr. Seven Seas?

But maybe this guy is trying to blow it off and form a friendship with me as one of those bullies.

Around there, I think it's very masculine to be like a sportsman. It's something I don't have.

I exchange contact details with my senior...... I remember at that time that my icon remained a game character as usual, but Nanakai seems to still be fine, and I'm going to leave it like this.

The senior icon was basketball.

"Well, then, I've accomplished my purpose, and I'm going to be rude... Yes, Mr. Curtain Dance... aren't you willing to join the basketball club?

"I don't have one. If you go into the club, you'll have less time with Mr. Nanakai."

This is the line I saw in some piece. Seriously, though, I don't like sports clubs in the first place. I can't believe I'm in a club...

Seeing her face for a moment on the sidelines would be fine, as she seems to reason with Mr. Seven Seas for a bit.

"Well, I envy you. Call me whenever you need anything. I'll talk to you whenever I want, and I have a club, so I don't always... you're welcome to invite me to play."

"Thank you. Thank you then."

That's how the senior leaves with a refreshing smile.

Some female students are gone from the rooftops so that they can follow them... and maybe find their senior's new love and doing it surprisingly quickly.

When we drop off the seniors, we resume lunch.

"I can finally be alone with you two. Yangshin might as well be with his senior."

Even though we are alone... there are still people around the rooftop, Mr. Seven Seas seems to be just a little angry.

Well, it certainly may not be funny to say that the person you hooked up with and your boyfriend will get along...

But, well, somehow, I can't hate that senior. I may have sprung up companionship because I fought like a boy comic book......

"I'm sorry, Mr. Seven Seas. Did I make you nervous?

"... I'm not anxious or anything, but I was wondering if it would be funny to just be seniors"

Mr. Nanakai pointing that way with Pui is pointing his mouth. What a cute thing to say.

But somehow... somehow, but it looked like there was a color of anxiety in my eyes that looked at me.

Maybe it's my fault... if you're referring to the line I thought about yesterday, here it is.

... Are you sure you want to tell me? Though I thought about it myself...... honestly, a little...... no, pretty embarrassing...... No, but... now is the only time to say it.

"Don't worry, Mr. Seven Seas. Like yesterday... even if someone comes out and tries to take you away from me like a prize... I will never let you go... no matter what you do."

... too many crummy lines while I...

Shit, my spine's getting cold. No... keep calm... At least stay calm until you hear from her... Hang in there......

"Yangxin..."

I heard Mr. Seven Seas. Just whine my name small...... and......

"Pup......"

Called out......

"Ahahahahahahaha!! What, that line is so cool!! After all, Yangshin looks much better than a senior or something, but... I can't find out, his face is bright red!

I touch my own cheek when I'm told. [M] Apparently the whole face turned bright red before I even noticed it myself. My face gets more and more red after being pointed out.

... So I'm laughing and I send my gaze to her... and she also notices that her ears are turning bright red.

"... Nanakai-san is the one with the bright red ears. Happy to hear from me?

"That's not natural, is there a girl who doesn't like it when her boyfriend tells you such a good thing?

GOOD... I've eaten a counterattack again... in this situation it's totally bad for me... I don't feel like I can win.

My face turned bright red as we ate lunch next door to each other and she was turning her ears bright red.

I was wondering if it was the wrong time to say it, but accidentally she followed my flank.

"... I think I had a little too much lunch. Will you eat it?

When I say that with a slight bar reading, she offers an egg roll in her lunch box.

I'm her favorite egg roller for lunch. [M]

I've bothered to offer it... pinched to chopsticks.

"... didn't you, uh, not because you had a lot of my lunch?

"You don't have a choice. I'm so hungry... there's nothing left, right?

... Sure, if you're hungry, you can't help it.

I cheek her offered egg roll.

This is the only thing that made me feel ashamed... happy.

Then, after lunch, I gave her a lunchbox... and she stuck with me perfectly.

Put your arms together and let me keep your weight. [M] I feel comfortable with its weight...... I'm just a little embarrassed by the gaze from around me.

"Mr. Seven Seas... what...?

"Is that a reward for saying something nice to me? Let's talk like this till after lunch break."

"... are your friends good?

"Those two were so uptight about feeding their boyfriends some handmade lunches they'd made in a while... they'd probably be out of school again"

"Those two boyfriends are a mystery too... Well, okay. … So let's keep talking."

"Yeah!"

Seeing her full smile as she stuck together perfectly... I was glad I said that line to her, even if I was embarrassed. I thought...

Later...... as the man who said the embarrassing line on the roof with no shame in his face...... it became a bit of a topic...... really, it was another story that I would regret only a little...
