"Hey Zhou, aren't you too temperamental this time?

Looking at the ranking of the periodic examinations affixed to the hallway bulletin boards, the tree shrugs slightly.

Zhou tried to study and test after the study group. There was something simply so that I could be proud of myself, which was my first purpose... but above all, I was concentrating on getting that grin out of my head at midday, which is huge.

'... don't hesitate to waste it on me, so don't worry about it, will you?

Just remembering glossy whispered words makes me want to be bored.

The result of concentrating as much as possible on studying the lack of thought in those words and expressions - which would have led to this sixth place.

"No, I didn't think I'd make it this far."

"Good luck. Were you confident?

"... so-so I guess. We need to be able to take this again and again."

"Stoic Yamatsu..."

I don't want to be caught off guard and fall in the middle of the day because I could take it once. It doesn't make sense if we don't make sure that being at this top is constant.

Considering the upcoming college entrance exams, what a sarcasm to stop satisfied with this. It is not something that can be done with a burning blade, so I would like to focus on studying even in the sense of preparing for the future.

By the way, this time at midday, he is also singling out the top. Boulders are boulders, but because of our efforts from day to day, it's not something we can clean up with the word boulder.

"Fujimiya is sixth this time, isn't he?"

He smiles beautifully as the midday I came to see later noticed Zhou's name.

At midday in angelic mode, Zhou makes sure not to put the upset on the table and smiles lightly to show it.

Sometimes I feel gaze from the surroundings, so I don't have time to be shy of remembering the other day.

"Sounds like it. Good, good."

"Hehe. You've been working hard. I've been studying my time off."

"... oh"

"If you worked so hard, wouldn't you be able to reward yourself?

"Yeah, right."

Remembering the existence of the reward, I wanted to be bored.

Speaking of which, I was promised a midday knee pillow ear scratch. I normally forgot because I was kicking things out of my head, but they said they would let me in within 10th place.

Of course, you can refuse... but can you kick the happiness of having a girl you like spoil?

"... Happy first place for those vertebrae too. Shouldn't the vertebrae reward you?

"Right. But it's not a good idea to spoil yourself too much."

"I think the vertebrae can be a little sweeter because it's stoic to me. Well, that's not what I can say."

Speaking of which, I was supposed to get a reward, but I don't think I should reward you at midday.

I don't know what I should do for you because I have to go home and ask at midday.

At midday when the angel smiled, the tree turned small and said, "Why don't you do something?," he says.

I swear to my heart I'll ask you when I get home today because I'm going to do that even if you don't tell me.

"Oh, reward for me, is it?

If you go home, put on your apron, and speak to your midday back who's supporting dinner, you'll look back with a decent look on your face.

As for Zhou, I'm probably waiting after dinner for a reward. I'm subtly restless remembering the little devil's smile the other day, but apparently at midday I'm dying my expression with the color that I just didn't realize it was unexpected.

"I don't want anything else or this."

"Something you want me to do..."

"To Zhou-kun? Um, well, you want me to slice the cucumber there thinly with a slicer."

"Not like that.... If you don't, you don't have to force me to, but come on."

Though I don't feel like I've really received it because there's no greed, I don't really have to push it down so gently.

If you don't need midday, that's fine, but if there's anything you want me to do, I'm going to make it happen as far as I can.

They want the cucumber to feed on the slicer for now, so I wash my hands and cut it thin with the slicer I had prepared, but I'm sure this is just helping.

"Rub it with salt."

"Aye.... Are you sure there isn't one?"

"Nothing, because as far as I'm concerned, it's enough.... In the first place, I really think my wish is to fulfill it myself."

"A wish you really want to fulfill?

"What do you think?

As I raise my face from the slicer, midday is quietly causing my lips to arc.

The look on his face looked like the little devil's smile the other day for a moment, and he couldn't even look directly at it and dropped his gaze on the cucumber.

"... I don't know"

"Isn't it? So that's fine. It's okay if we keep going."

There were signs of a bitter laugh at Zhou's words.

At midday when I went back to cooking again with the air that wouldn't let me pursue anything further around, Zhou didn't know what to do but just kept slicing the cucumber thin.
