Chapter 214: Something’s……Coming- (2/2)

Just as Kohaku had said, he was only worrying about that.

His way of thinking was that there was no more troublesome thing than trouble without malice or harmful intent.

「It be best to make the two of them yours as quickly as possible, Husband」

「Right」

Nodding, he walked alongside Kohaku.

After a bit, he realized what Kohaku was saying.

「Kohaku-san? Right now, did you just say to make them……」

「Does Husband not wish to do do？ Make the fifth that lass」

「……Did you know about this？」

「Aye, vaguely」

「Was I…easy to read？」

「Although the first person to realize it been Aoba」

「Aoba？」

Taiyou was surprised, wondering why Aoba’s name would come up here.

As they were doing this and that, the two of them made it to the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was lively. The place that could fit one hundred was almost full, and it looked as if there were not free seats.

When they were standing at the entrance, searching around to see if any seats were open…

「Yo, well if it isn’t the rare combination」

He turned around to whoever talked to him from behind.

「Youran!?」

Taiyou was astonished.

Youran was behind him.

Unlike in the morning, she was in her twintailed-uniform from when she was attending there.

The way spoke was also from that time, so she looked no different from the average student.

There was also the fact that being next to the Eternal Little《a young girl at first sight》, Kohaku, made her stand out comparatively less.

「Whatcha doing here？」

「Innit a cafeteria? I just came to eat here for lunch」

「Here？」

「Yup」

「That’s a shock……I so thought that you’d be eating something way better」

「Well see」

Still preserving her smile, Youran looked at Taiyou with contrasting unamused eyes.

「I don’t like your so-called『better things』. Whenever I eat those sorts of things I have to have at least two people test it for poison, so I can’t even eat anything that’s heated up」

「Wow, foretasters? But why two at the very least？」

「Well, one of them might very well have an immunity to poison. So do you really think I’d be able to tell if that person was a traitor or not？」

「……That sucks」

Taiyou spoke from the bottom of his heart.

「Welp, I’m used to it」

Youran spoke while grinning.

As they were standing while talking, there was an open table near them seating four, so Taiyou sat there.

「What’re you gonna eat？」

「Since there’s no one to taste it for poision, preferably something that’s warm」

「Then I’d say ramen. You good with ramen？」

「Fine by me」

「And Kohaku-san？」

「I be wanting the same as Husband」

「Got it」

Taiyou nodded, leaving the two at their seats as he proceeded to first go to the meal ticket vending machine, buying three ramen meal tickets there.

「……Ahhh」

The moment he began leaving the vending machines, something flashed in his head.

It was the kind of flash that a human from another generation might have in a robot anime.

He bought another ticket of the same type, bringing a total of four tickets to the counter, handing them to the older woman.

After waiting there for a bit, he set the four finished ramen bowls skillfully on the tray (they were light, but he had difficulty with the balance), and returned to their table.

「Yep, figured」

Just as he had anticipated, in addition to Kohaku and Youran, Leticia was there as well.
