Volume 1 - CH 1.2

Time flew by and it was time for lunch break.

As soon as the teacher who had just been in charge of the class left the classroom, the desks rattled and groups of students formed to have lunch.

As I took out the lunch box my mother had made for me from my bag, I heard a beautiful voice in the classroom that sounded like a bell being rung.

“Excuse me. Is Sasaki here?”

The classroom, which had been quite noisy, became quiet as soon as the voice echoed.

The voice was coming from the entrance of the classroom, where a female student was looking around the classroom, looking very regal.

To say that the girl is a stranger at this school might be a bit of an exaggeration, but considering her position, it is hard to say that she is generally wrong.

She is the president of this school and her name is Iori Honjo, a senior girl.

“……Ah, there she is.”

Iori Honjo – let’s call her Iori for a moment, since it’s been so long —- having found Shu, she heads straight for him, but in the meantime, several boys try to stand up to talk to her, but all of them stop, as if they have given up.

The reason for this is that Iori’s cold atmosphere overwhelms them, making it difficult for them to talk to her.

But even Iori’s expression relaxed slightly when she saw Shu.

“I don’t know what’s going on with you not responding right away.”

“……No, I just felt like I might get into some trouble.”

“Don’t say that, Shu-kun. Can you come with me? Take your lunch box with you”

“What about my veto—“

“No”

“My veto….”

There was no veto, or so he was told, and Shu let out a big sigh and stood up.

He looked at me and Ayana, but I guess he didn’t want to disobey Iori any further under the circumstances, so he was quietly taken away.

As I watched their backs as they disappeared, I felt a gaze fixed on me, and I turned my attention toward it.

“….Ah~”

The true identity of the gaze is Ayana.

She was holding her bento with both hands and staring at me, while her friends on either side of her giggled and smiled at her.

I felt the steel in Ayana’s eyes that she would not eat lunch unless I asked her to, and I beckoned her to come over.

At that moment, with a big smile on her face, she ran up to me.

“What is it, Towa-kun!”

“Well, you already know it, dont you?”

“I can’t understand unless you tell me. I’m an idiot.”

If Ayana, who ranks in the top single digits in her class in every regular test, is an idiot, then most of the class, including me, are brain dead.

I get up from my chair and make room for Ayana to sit by borrowing the empty seat next to me.

“Shall we eat together?”

“Yes♪”

It was a wonderful smile that could make the opposite sex fall in love with her.

(……The destructive power is too much)

I’m on the verge of sinking into the energetic reply and the smile that seems to captivate everyone.

Even though I understand what’s going on in this world and have sworn not to interfere with the two of them, I still get nervous when I see a smile like that.

“What’s wrong?””

“Nothing. Let’s eat quickly.”

Finally, I started having lunch with Ayana.

“I was so excited. Yesterday—-“

“Heh. That—-“

I was eating my lunch while chatting with Ayana, but apart from the girl in front of me, I was thinking again about Iori from earlier.

(Iori Honjo, …… A cuckold heroine in the senior slot)

Yes, Iori is another one of the heroines in this world.

I don’t know how she came to like Shu or not, but even so, that cold beautiful student council president recognizes Shu as an equal friend and her feelings should sublimate into a love affair between now and the beginning of the original story.

However, the scenario of eroge is a tough one, because even such a girl will eventually be cuckolded.

(As I recall, she goes off to college and joins a yarisaki club. It happens all the time.) [TL: university club for socializing and having s*x]

It is a common practice in the erotic entertainment industry to join a yarisaki club and be assaulted.

The story starts off on a high note in the eroge industry: a girl joins a yarisui club without realizing that it is such a club, is given a considerable amount of alcohol at a drinking party, and then is photographed while she is asleep.

There are many things I would like to say, such as to be on the lookout for such a circle, or to do some research about it beforehand, but basically, erotic heroines tend to have a few screws in their heads, so it’s useless.

“?”

As I was sorting through the information about Iori in my head, I felt something touch my feet and I looked up.

“Ayana?”

“…… Ehehe♪”

Ayana was taking off her slippers and rubbing her own foot against my foot.

It tickles a little bit, and if anything, it’s very embarrassing to have this done in the classroom.

The other classmates didn’t pay any attention to what was going on under the desk, so it was completely just me and Ayana.

(……Why is Ayana so …… appealing?)

Ayana’s gaze at me is somewhat passionate,……I don’t know if this gaze is called hot because I have no experience with it, but even so, there must surely be a meaning to this gaze that stares at me while touching my body like this.

“……Ayana?”

“Yes. What is it♪”

When I called out her name, Ayana leaned in to close the distance between us.

The two desks are between us, so it is impossible for her to get close to me. Still, if I reached out my hand, even just a little bit, I could touch Ayana’s cheek.

“……..Ayana’s bento looks delicious.”

“Eh? My bento?”

It was a hard time for me to stare at her.

I was not averse to being stared at by a beautiful girl like Ayana, of course, but I knew that in a classroom setting it would stand out and might make Shu feel uncomfortable later on, so I forced the topic.

“Would you like to try some?”

“Is it okay?”

“Of course.”

I decided to have an omelette as the lunch box was presented to me.

I was so excited that I could not wait to see what she had in the box.

So, this is truly Ayana’s homemade lunch box.

“Amu……mogu……yeah, it’s delicious.”

“Thank you.”

The omelet that Ayana gave me was moderately sweet and right to my taste.

“If you like, I can make Towa-kun’s lunch too.”

“For real?”

For high school boys, a handmade lunch box made by a girl is something they yearn for.

I had a temptation dangling in front of me that made my heart flutter a little, but I still didn’t nod my head.

“No, thank you. I’ll pass. My mom seems to enjoy making bento every day, and she says it’s more fun to make than anything else.”

I was a little reserved, but that was the main reason.

“….Of course. It’s a little disappointing, but I don’t think I can compete with the taste of that bento.”

“But it’s true that it was delicious, you know? I would eat it anytime if I could.”

These were words without any falsehoods or pretenses.

After Ayana thought about something, she whispered something like this.

“If that’s the case, please call me anytime. For Master’s sake, I’ll always head over there♪”

“…… Master?”

Who’s master…….

Ayana, whether or not she knew I was stunned or not, continued to speak with a slight flush on her cheeks, which caused me no small amount of bewilderment.

“Master is Master. Even if you try to treat me like anything other than just a bento, it’s totally fine… Kyaa♪”

“……………”

I am not trying to be clueless, but I don’t have any idea what she just said.

When I hear Ayana’s words and consider her appeal, or her touch on my body, I feel like something is connecting.

(…… I don’t think so, but Towa Yukishiro? You’re not going to tell me that you’ve already done something to her, are you?)

I shouted grandly in my mind.

Ayana went back to her normal self soon after that, but I had to think about it for a long time.
