If Guang is the only one who moves forward, but he stops moving forward, one day he will be left further and further behind.

"But, speaking of which, has Kobuki-san been kept in the office for so long? You haven't come yet?"

Kita glanced at the time.

A third of the lunch break has passed.

Many students have already had lunch, but there is not even a shadow of Kotobuki Hikaru here.

Even if he was scolded by the teacher, he wouldn't have wasted so much time.

squeak-

When the girls were confused, the door to the rooftop suddenly opened with a creak.

"Ah...I've been waiting for a long time. I wasted some time in the office."

The familiar figures of the two girls appeared in front of the door.

"It's too slow, Kotobuki-kun, I've kept Koichiri waiting for too long!" Kita expressed his dissatisfaction directly.

She said that she had waited too long for Yili, but in fact she thought it was too long.

"Sorry sorry."

Kotobuki Hikari forced out a slightly forced smile.

The words spoken by the head teacher in the office still lingered in his heart.

So much so that I felt a little bad.

Goto Kazuri seemed to see something wrong with Kotobuki Mitsuru...

But can't tell.

Maybe he just felt depressed because he was scolded by the teacher?

But with Guang's character... he would never get angry because of something like this.

Goto Ichiri just stared at the figure walking towards him, silent.

"There is also a love bento specially prepared by Xiao Yili today. Hmm...I am also very curious about what the bento made by Xiao Yili will be like."

Kita leaned her body towards Gotou Ichiri and looked expectantly at the lunch box wrapped in a tablecloth.

"Hey...thank you so much."

Gotou Ichisato untied the knot of the tablecloth and took out two bento boxes, one large and one small.

The bento box underneath is more than three times the size of the small bento.

Although it is said that boys eat more, is this too exaggerated?

Kita was a little shocked.

Obviously Kotobuki Mitsuru is not the kind of big guy who joins sports clubs like judo clubs and kendo clubs. How on earth can he hold so many things in his stomach?

Opening the lunch box, the scene inside was revealed.

White rice takes up half of the lunch box, and there are some small compartments separated by it.

It's not that kind of high-end cuisine, just ordinary, simple egg rolls, meatballs, steaks, and fried fish belly.

After all, for the current Goto Kazuri, wanting to make that kind of high-end cuisine is just a dream.

“Still delicious as always.”

After just a few bites, Kotobuki gave him positive praise.

"Eh... I thought Kotobuki-san was the kind of person who grew up eating at high-end restaurants and had no interest in home-cooked food like this."

Kita squinted at Kotobuki Mitsuru who was eating in small bites.

It seemed that he wanted to see with his eyes whether Kotobuki Mitsuru was speaking from his heart, or whether he was just complimenting Goto Ichiri.

"Although it's almost the same, I'm not spoiled to the point where I can't get used to home-cooked food."

After being praised, Goto Ichiri lowered his head, his cheeks were red, and he was trying to hold back his laughter due to shyness.

But the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Sure enough, it's because this is a bento made by Xiao Yili himself, right?"

"Yeah...that's right." Kotobuki nodded unabashedly.

Every day at school, the girl he likes prepares lunch for him, which is definitely something that all boys would envy.

"No... don't say such embarrassing words!"

Goto Yili made a slight sound like a mosquito from his throat in embarrassment.

"Don't be shy at this time, Xiaoyili!"

Although he said that staying here would disturb them both.

But seeing the relationship between the two getting closer, Kita himself felt very happy.

It didn't take long for Kotobukimitsu to finish all of Noda's bento.

Even Goto Kazuri and Kitana's palm-sized lunch boxes haven't been finished yet.

"Speaking of which, why did Kotobuki-san stay in the office for so long? Is it because the teacher made things difficult for us?"

Kita spoke curiously.

"However, like Kobuki-san, whether you come to school depends on your mood, and no teacher can bear it!" Kita couldn't help but start preaching.

"Just think of it as a lunch box made by Xiao Yili. I will come to school more often! Without you, Xiao Yili would be lonely eating alone at noon."

"I...it doesn't matter to me!" Goto Kazuri denied.

But the next moment, Goto changed the subject. "But...if possible, I still want to have lunch with Hikari..."

"I already know I was wrong. Starting today, I will definitely increase my attendance. There is nothing I won't miss."

In fact, the reason for Kotobuki Mitsuru's absence before this was basically very simple.

Some overslept... When I woke up in the morning, I was already late, so I simply didn't go to school.

Or maybe it was because I was working hard to retreat and compose music, but I felt that compared with work, the importance of going to school was still relatively low, so I simply stopped going.

"However, although the teacher did criticize me for leaving me in the office... the main reason was that she forcibly gave me a commission."

Kotobuki Mitsuru sighed.

As expected, we still need to discuss this matter with everyone...at least let them know the inside story.

"Commission?"

The two girls blinked blankly.

"Are you asking Kotobuki-san to participate in some math competition?"

"That's not true!" Kotobuki Mitsuru denied. "I wouldn't agree to it if it was this kind of thing."

"What could that be..."

It's something that the teacher can do personally and ask Kotobuki to do.

Both of them racked their brains and couldn't figure out the reason.

"It's about the school's light music department."

"Light sound department?"

The two girls were even more confused.

"Why does your class teacher care about the light music department..."

"I just found out that our class teacher seems to be the instructor of this club."

"Eh......"

Not surprising.

"The light music club... I remember it was a very small club, with only a few people in total. We didn't even recruit a single freshman last year."

Social officer Kita also knows a lot about the school's clubs.

But she only knew a rough idea about this club, which had almost no popularity or even any sense of existence.

"Could this be the kind of plot that often happens in anime? In order to save a club that has been abandoned due to lack of members, Kotobuki-san is asked to join the club to revive the glory of the light music club?"

"No, no, no...this kind of thing will not happen in reality." Kotobuki Hikaru shook his head.

"It is said that their director came to me alone and wanted me to help... so he contacted me through Hiratsuka-sensei."

"Help?!" Kita said with worry on her face. "Our band has been very busy lately... Kotobuki-san probably wants to join the club, so we'd better refuse this!"

"It's impossible for me to join the club, but...even though I was asked to do so, the class teacher has given me a death order, and there is no room for refusal. Moreover, I still don't know what it is that I need to help with. ...At least you should know the content before making a decision.”

Kotobuki Hikari gave Kita a reassuring expression and emphasized again. "There's no way I'm going to delay the work of our own band just because of high school student club matters."

However, even with such assurance, both Goto Kazuri and Kita still had worries written on their faces.

"What's that?"

"I will go to the club to discuss the specific matters after school, and their director will tell me."

"Then...if Kotobuki-san agrees, the band work..."

"I've almost finished writing the new song, so don't worry, since it's just a request from a student, it won't waste too much time."

"..."

There is no room for rejection, so you have to bite the bullet and accept it.

"Little one mile..."

While Goto Ichiri was still in a daze, she suddenly noticed that her arm was poked.

Kita's whisper also sounded in his ears.

"Be sure to keep an eye on Kotobuki-san after school... and never let outsiders take him away."

Chapter 2 Genius Painter

Enjoyed the lap pillow for a while at noon.

So much so that Kotobuki Mitsuru and Goto Kazuri were late again during class in the afternoon.

But thanks to the few breaks during the lunch break, the two of them were obviously in better spirits in the afternoon.

At least I no longer have to be punished by the teacher for falling asleep during class.

There are cliques among students.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and people form groups. When there is no need for collective activities, humans will rely on mutual attraction to form barriers between small groups at any time.

Strong people will be ostracized by small groups, and generally speaking, only weak people will join groups to keep warm.

However, there is an essential gap between being excluded from a small group and being unable to integrate into the group.

Kotobuki Hikaru didn't know what kind of situation he was in.

If he said he was ostracized by the group, that was obviously not the case.

At least for most students in this class, Kotobuki Hikaru has never felt their malice, let alone rejection.

But if you say you can't integrate into the group, it doesn't mean you can't.

It's just that now I have no interest in having a good relationship with other people.

Forcibly blending in with the surroundings will only affect the speed of my piano playing...

Chinese class is still boring.

Or maybe it's because of the generation gap that most students can't stand the old teacher's teaching methods. In addition, it's almost time to get out of school, and gradually the students in the class start to feel sleepy.

Ding-dong-!

As soon as the bell announcing the end of school rang, the energy of the students was awakened.

"Hey, do you want to go to my house to play games later? I just bought the Kirby vs. Nergigante that was released yesterday."

Kotobuki Hikaru's position is next to the back door of the class.
