「Itadakimasu ♪」

「Itadakimasu」

「……Itadakimasu」

From the right, Asakura-san’s 『Wafu Spaghetti』*, class rep’s 『Udon and inari sushi meal set』*, and my 『Ankake chahan』*…… (Andou)

「None of us ordered the specials!」

「What of it? Andou-kun…… if you suddenly make a ruckus, you’ll be a bother to everyone in the cafeteria」

「But that’s cause it’s class rep who said something like 『I want to eat the specials so let’s go to the cafeteria together ♪』! And yet, why are you eating udon?!」

「Not really, I only said 『There’s a new specials that’s on sale, let’s go and try it?』 not something like 『I’m going to eat the specials』!」

「Even so!」

「Now, now, Andou-kun, calm down please?」

「Don’t 『Please?』 me! Asakura-san, why did you order spaghetti also instead of the 『specials』!? You came to the cafeteria because of the 『specials』 too, right?」

「T-that is……」

T-this is bad…… I came to the cafeteria not because I wanted to eat the 『specials』, but to eat 『Andou-kun』—— eh, no, no! My purpose was to eat together with 『Andou-kun』…… Besides that, if we were to eat together, with the special menu 『cabbage roll stuffed with spring cabbage & spring cabbage soup meal set』, the broth will smear all over, making me look unsightly, and while my favorite food is hamburg* and curry*, I am reluctant to order it since Andou-kun might find it childish. The dish which seemed most likely to make me look elegant when eating is spaghetti, I definitely won’t say this aloud. (Asakura)

「Andou-kun, please understand how Asakura-san feels」

「Class rep?」

「Hey! C-class rep!」

「Look, over there, Yamada-kun is eating the 『cabbage roll stuffed with spring cabbage & spring cabbage soup meal set』 specials, please take a good look at him」

「…………」*stare—-*

「…………」*stare—*

「Oho—–! Is this the rumoured  『cabbage roll stuffed with spring cabbage & spring cabbage soup meal set』? Itadakima~su! Yup yup…… When I eat the cabbage, the faint flavour of it begins to overflow, till it feels like my entire mouth is being covered by cabbage…… the soup is….. has a diluted cabbage flavour, the taste is like having cabbage with hot water……  I wonder why I ordered this」

「Ne? Do you think you would want to eat it after you see that?」

「Then, why did you invite me!?」

「It’s about our previous conversation. Because Andou-kun is a 『Loner』, as the class representative I’m helping Andou-kun to find a suitable 『friend』, am I not?」

「That’s none of your concern…… also, who is this suitable 『friend』you speak of?」

「What are you saying?? Isn’t she already here? It’s Asakura-san」

「「Hah！？」」
