Chapter 169 169
"Itadakimasu!"
Tenku and Setsuka opened their lunch boxes and said simultaneously. Tenku took one of the side dishes from the bento and ate it.
"Mmm... your food is delicious as usual. I'm very lucky to enjoy it for these six months. Thank You." Tenku looked at Setsuka and smiled gently.
"I'm glad that my food this time suits your taste." Setsuka felt a sweetness in her heart when she heard his praise. Her cold and aloof demeanor disappeared when she was with Tenku but returned after she separated from him.
"Your food is always delicious and suits my taste. So there's no way I wouldn't like it." Tenku smiled and started to enjoy the bento. He didn't realize he had become a glutton after six months of eating Setsuka's food.
"Then, you have to eat the bento until there's nothing left." Setsuka smiled with satisfaction when she saw Tenku eating the food she had made with enthusiasm. She enjoyed her bento slowly while keeping her eyes on him.
Tenku noticed Setsuka's gaze, and he stopped eating. When Tenku saw Setsuka's face, he found a grain of rice on the edge of her lips.
"It is..."
"It is..."
Setsuka and Tenku's hands moved simultaneously, taking the remaining rice grains from each of their lips. Tenku accidentally touched the girl's lips and felt their softness and suppleness. After that, both of them ate the rice grains.
Setsuka's face reddened, and Tenku became awkward. He didn't expect that he also had a grain of rice left at the edge of his lips.
"I'm sorry. I reflexively took a grain of rice from your lips because I used to do it to my little sister when we were kids." Tenku bowed his head to Setsuka. He feared she would be angry with him because he had touched her without permission. Tenku regretted that he had been carried away by his emotions.
"I also used to do that to Kohana and unknowingly took those rice grains from you. I apologize!" Setsuka also bowed her head. She blushed, and a beautiful smile bloomed on her face.
Setsuka was happy because this was the first time Tenku had intentionally touched her. What her mother had said was true. If you want to win his heart, you have to win his stomach first, and Setsuka's efforts for the past six months have not been in vain. Afterward, both of them raised their heads simultaneously and laughed.
"Ahaha..."
"Okay. You better finish your bento now because lunch break will end soon." Tenku reminded Setsuka after seeing that there was still a lot of food left in her lunch box.
"I understand. But you must help me." Setsuka nodded obediently.
"Help you?" Tenku looked at Setsuka in confusion.
"Since you like this food, you must eat it for me." Setsuka took one of the side dishes from her bento and gave it to Tenku. But she didn't put it in his lunch box but fed it to him.
Tenku was surprised by Setsuka's action. He didn't think the girl would dare to do such a thing. Even so, Tenku kept his mouth open and ate the food from her chopsticks.
"That's good." Setsuka's face blushed, and she smiled broadly. Then she took another food and fed Tenku again and again.
"I can eat it myself." Tenku complained because he felt he was being treated like a child by Setsuka.
"This is the last one." Setsuka looked at Tenku with a pitiful face. She learned that from Kohana.
"Alright." Tenku sighed when he saw her expression. He reluctantly opened his mouth and ate it.
"Ehehe." Setsuka laughed cutely when she saw Tenku eating the side dishes on her chopsticks. After that, she wanted to finish her bento quickly because the lunch break would soon end. But Tenku suddenly moved the chopsticks in his hand and took one of the foods in his bento.
"Then, now is your turn to taste it. I see you like this food more than anything else in the bento." Tenku intends to repay Setsuka's treatment of him. When he thought the girl would be embarrassed, Tenku was surprised to see Setsuka happily eating the side dish on his chopsticks.
"Thank You." Setsuka said while chewing the food.
Tenku stared at her silently and then smiled. After he had become closer to Setsuka in the past few months, his impression of her had changed. The first time Tenku saw Setsuka was during the entrance ceremony for the new students.
At that time, Tenku felt Setsuka was a cold girl who was difficult to befriend. It made her not interested in him. But now Tenku knew that his thinking was wrong. Setsuka is just like an ordinary girl; only her appearance and status make her different.
The cold and aloof demeanor from her was something she was born with, and it wasn't Setsuka who asked to be like that. She is a lovely girl once you get to know her better.
"We should hurry up and finish our lunch. I was worried that someone might come to the school rooftop." Tenku said softly.
"I understand. But don't you want to feed me again?" Setsuka teased Tenku.
"Are you okay if I feed you? Usually, you would do that with your boyfriend. If someone else saw it, they might misunderstand it, and some weird gossip about you would spread. After all, I'm the weakest student at Suisei High School." Tenku warned Setsuka.
"Hmm... I think feeding each other is not only done by couples. Siblings, friends, parents, and children can do it. Can't we be considered friends now? I don't care if some weird gossip about me spreads in the school. If they don't touch me directly, I'll ignore them and think of them as air." Setsuka responded calmly and then opened her mouth wide. Her actions forced Tenku to feed her again.
"Alright… alright…" Tenku sighed after he heard that statement and fed her again. He wanted to reject Setsuka's words but didn't want to waste time arguing with her.
They fed each other until the food in their lunch boxes ran out. If someone saw them, they would think that the two people were in a romantic relationship. Tenku didn't know if it was right or wrong, but he was enjoying it now.
After finishing their lunch, they quickly returned to their respective classes. Setsuka was reluctant to part with him, and unexpectedly Tenku felt the same way but didn't realize it.
Setsuka walked with light steps towards the student council office carrying two empty lunch boxes. At first, Tenku wanted to take it home as usual and wash it clean, but Setsuka prevented it and took it first.
Tenku could only comply when Setsuka was getting stubborn. Over the past six months, their relationship had become very close to the point that they were no longer seen as senior and junior but best friends. During that time, Tenku learned about Setsuka's nature and habits.
Setsuka opened the door of the student council office and saw Kaede having lunch with Satoru and a female student with long brown hair. She was Ayumi Kinoshita. She is a second-year student and is the treasurer of the student council.
"You're back, Setsuka? Your business seems to be going well after I saw your expression." Kaede smiled warmly when she saw Setsuka was in a very good mood. She has returned to being cold and aloof after being separated from Tenku. But as her best friend, Kaede could tell that Setsuka was happy.
"Yes. More or less. At least there has been some progress." Setsuka quickly admits it.
Kaede knew that her best friend had gone on vacation with Tenku and Kohana to Lake Motosu. She also knew what Setsuka had been doing for the past six months. When Kaede heard that Setsuka wanted to make bento regularly for Tenku, she didn't stop her and instead supported her. Kaede was sure this method effectively got a man's heart. As long as her best friend is happy, Kaede will be satisfied.
On the other hand, Satoru and Ayumi were confused about what they were talking about. The attention of the two was fixed on the lunch box in Setsuka's hands. After the Golden week vacation ended and they returned to school, the two often saw Setsuka carrying two lunch boxes. But they thought that one of the two bento belonged to Kohana.
"Did you finish lunch with your sister?" Ayumi asked.
Setsuka just smiled in response to her question. She didn't confirm or deny it. Setsuka sat down on her chair and looked at the three people.
"After the three of you are done with your lunch, please call the other student council members because we will be holding a meeting to discuss the cultural festival and the idol that will be performing at Suisei High School." Setsuka said in a formal tone.
The three people looked at each other and nodded simultaneously. They had known Setsuka for a long time and noticed she was now in serious mode as the student council president. After the lunch break ended, the students returned to their respective classes, and the student council meeting began.
At the same time, Tenku sat lazily in the classroom and listened to their homeroom teacher's words. Hayate gave instructions for them to discuss the cultural festival next week. The meeting was presided over by the class representative, Chisato Fukuda.
Several students voiced their idea, and they debated them long enough to come up with five selected events.
Dance
Concert Bands
Maid Cafe
Theater
Haunted House
The students must vote to choose one of the five events as their program at next week's cultural festival. They wrote down their choices on paper and put them together. Chisato checked them and read them in front of the students.
The competition between two of the five events is fierce, but Class C finally gets its program for the cultural festival based on voting. They will build a haunted house. After deciding on their event, the students quickly prepared and intended to turn the classroom into a spooky place.
"So we're going to have a haunted house?" Takaya said weakly. He looked disinterested when he saw the voting results.
"I prefer maid cafes over haunted houses." Noboru replied, and Takaya nodded in agreement as he had the same thought. Tenku wanted to respond to their words, but he was interrupted by a girl's voice.
"Alright, stop complaining and start preparations for building the haunted house. We must make spooky decorations for this place and scary ghost costumes." Chisato walked up to the three people and glared at them.
Tenku and Setsuka opened their lunch boxes and said simultaneously. Tenku took one of the side dishes from the bento and ate it.
"Mmm... your food is delicious as usual. I'm very lucky to enjoy it for these six months. Thank You." Tenku looked at Setsuka and smiled gently.
