「12」
When it came to lunch at shi+nonome Academy, people had their pick of box lunches, the cafeteria and the ristorante
Of course, even it was called a ristorante, it wasn’t official
All payh student ID cards
Carrying cash on campus was prohibited after all
Their reason was that coins and banknotes were covered in bacteria
I was as to school if you didn’t knoho’d handled them
Well, the students here sees with a card, so there was no sense of incongruity at least, but I was still surprised
There where IC chips embedded in the ID cards and the student’s families received a monthly invoice
By the ere they ristorantes and not a French restaurant? Well, on top of the basic etiquette course we received once aetiquette The official policy was that in exchange for taking part in a proper French dinner twice a year, students didn’t have to eat in the cafeteria
It’s not so to be envious of
It was quite a harsh class
Personal tastes weren’t adhered to at all And furthermore, you weren’t allowed to drop the class
People with food allergies had specially prepared food that resembled the meals of the rest of the class so that everyone could take the same lesson
Theaspect was that you would be forced to eat the saain until you mastered proper etiquette
That wasn’t a probleh-class japanese food, but western meals had more quantity to them
If you were a perfectionist, you couldn’t help but try to
You had to tepidly chuckle and s the 『The meal was delicious today well』
No ht they were finished, food would continue to be placed on the table until their etiquette was perfect
At first, the students were fascinated by the class, but by the 3rd time the class ca the food and after the 5th time, in September, they would look like their souls had started to leave their bodies
In addition to authentic French cuisine, the course also covered japanese, Chinese, Mediterranean and Nordic courses, as well as catering a buffet
No one ever expected eating to be considered a penance until it happened
For that reason, norhter in comparison, to allow for the casual enjoyment of the food
Since I wanted to eat and quickly return to the classroom, I settled for a sandwich at the café today
It was a popular menu item, rich in variety, and it could easily be packed in a box and eaten in the courtyard when the weather allowed for it
When it rained, there was no bending to such whims
Hayate and I had arrived at the café early when Ariwara raised his hand and pointed out a less crowded café section
I placed a coffee and sandwich on my tray and sat doith the others
“Are you having just that, Mizuki-dono?”
Tachibana cast an anxious glance at my tray
“Ah, yes I wonder if this is too much……”
“I don’t think you need to diet, or rather, don’t you think that isn’t enough? At least add another dish, like a salad or soup”
Are you uely shook my head
“I don’t have a lot of time I have some business to take care of in a little bit”
“Hey, ere you and Ooka about”
Ariwara see as he spoke
“Huh, what? Sharing an u with my umbrella when I stepped out of the car What kind of ru around?”
“…… Ah, so that’s all Well, it’s fine then I guess they’ll disappear soonLet’s awara’s latest assault”
After I had wiped my hands with a ipe, they now stopped just short of touching the bread
My appetite had diminished
“Was Chiaki spoken ill of?”
“It was generally favorable Rather, ossip took on an envious tone…… froed you”
“My sides”
“…… Hey there!”
Ariwara, let out a resentful groan
Girls liked BL, but it didn’t seem that all man liked yuri
Of course, it was limited to the second dimension
“Isn’t that sexual harassment? I think Mizu-chan can use a little more meat on her bones”
After a s the sound of so lettuce
“…… Chiaki”
“Yes This is poison tasting I have to make sure that this is okay Its safe to eat, Mizu-chan”
The diminutive beauty happily chuckled as she extended her hand for a second piece of my sandwich
“Chiaki!! Don’t eat other peoples food! You have your own food, you glutton!!”
Chikage caught his sister by the neck and dragged her away from the table
“Since Mizu-chan doesn’t eatpoisoned”
Chiaki reetic
Just what kind of world did I live in?
The threat of poisoning wasn’t normal
“Sorry, Mizuki-dono This fool continues to trouble you”
Chikage apologized for his sister e soup on my tray
“Accept this as an apology Receive it without reserve”
Chikage, truly a capable child
Was it the natural order for hi!?
How exasperating e such an unreasonable child?
However, potage was easier for someone who’d lost their appetite to stomach than a sandwich
It wasn’t like the two of then had planned it
“Thank you, Chikage If you don’t mind, would you like to dine with us?”
By accepting the potage, Chiaki'S behavior ater under the bridge
It was obvious that all of this would be troublesome in the outside world
“Hm”
“It doesn’t bother e to sit next to me”
Chikage hesitated for a moment before he reluctantly plopped down in a seat next to me
“Excusehere Don’t annoy Mizuki-done, idiot!”
Chikage scolded a disgruntled Chiaki
I could see the dumbfounded looks on Ariwara’s and Tachibana’s faces
“Th…… This is more troublesome than I expected……”
Tachibana looked at the brother tasked atching over an eccentric older sister with a degree of respect, and Chikage seemed a little embarrassed by it
“It’s better to struggle now rather than pay the price later Wouldn’t you agree, Tachibana-kun?”
I blatantly directed a glance towards the culprit as I asked my question
“I am aware of the proverb, but I would like to be able to choose what my problems are”
“Certainly I’d hate being poisoned……”
Tachibana wryly smiled in response to Chiaki’s irrelevant answer
“What is the basis for your poisoning theory, Chiaki?”
Unless her assuain
“If Mizu-chan was poisoned, it would be a great loss for hue, take a whiff yourself!”
As an aspiring aesthetician, Chiaki was sensitive to scents
She was easily able to recognize the fragrance of other people and had the ridiculous notion that I had a unique healing fragrance
Her brother Chikage also had a sensitive nose
At Chiaki’s instance, he brought his face close to my collarbone
“True Mint and eucalyptus? Neroli then?”
Mint and eucalyptus had sterilizing and sedative effects
Also, they lowered surface temperature and raised internal temperature
In other words, they were painkillers
“It’s aronew”
“Huh, is that so”
