Vol 7 Chapter 6 (1/2)

The Sixth Question

“Yuuji…you actually thought of such a terrifying plan…”

“No, I didn’t expect the feedback on the su that, even I had to feel pity for them…”

“Well, Akihisa-kun…”

We returned to class F’s waiting area After taking victory from class A, we could look forward to a happy lunchtime, but for some reason, I just can’t feel happy

“Besides, I thought that ‘the 3rd years wouldn’t accept supplementary tests to continue theconfiscated’ If that daranny didn’t interfere, it wouldn’t have ended up like this”

“Well, Sakamoto-kun…”

Let’s ignore the Toko-Natsu group, we really did so overboard and cruel to the 4th batter seet any mental trauma…

“The way I see it, the principal seemed to find that this was too much After the match, she promised to set the summoned beasts back to hoas”

“…That was a tragedy”

“Well, Kinoshi+ta-kun, Tsuchiya-kun…”

Seeing that scene of despair, the principal probably felt that she’s not worthy to be an educator forsuch a cruel decision I can only offer my prayers to the four souls who lost their lives

“Okay, as for the match in the afternoon…”

“Well…PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!”

We tried to look away, ignoring reality, but we just couldn’t run away anymore Thus, the 4 of us could only look like we’re about to cry and timidly turn around to the person who spoke

““““…Yes””””

“Actually, I prepared bentos for everyone…”

Hie bento that’s wrapped in cloth Actually, I knew it…theto us, I knew that she was carrying some ominous presence of death to us I just didn’t want to admit it

“Really, Mizuki, you alork hard no matter what it is”

Standing beside Himeji-san, Minami scowled for some reason Seems like she’s really unhappy for some reason

“Eh, anyway, you two can sit down first”

Trying to move out of position to let Himeji-san and Minami sit down, Yuuji stood up and then turn around to walk to another direction

“Alright, I’ll go get drinks”

“Nonono, I’ll do it, Yuuji I’ll buy the drinks”

“You guys don’t need to say that I’ll handle the buying of the drinks”

“…I’ll buy it”

We just stood up without letting each other get up These guys—they definitely intend to use the excuse of buying drinks to get away, right? Those guys are despicable! Don’t they know any shame?”

“Haha, you don’t have to force yourself, Akihisa Don’t you need money to buy drinks?”

“No need to worry aboutpretty well now Besides, I’ofer There’s no one else more suited for this role then me”

“Hold on a ofer forability Letthan Akihisa!”

“…No, the ofer’s work is definitely h the darkness’”

Everyone tried to anchor the gofer role to get away froet away froive an excuse that the drinks in school were sold out and that I had to go out, I guess 3 people will be the sacrifices and get dealt with the devil once I come back

“You guys really dare to say that! Do you think you can beat et serious?”

“What nonsense are you spouting!? My running ability several hundred times better than you! You minor characters just need to stand aside!”

“It’s really sad that you’re calling me a minor character who doesn’t haveability”

“…Alright, stop yapping and let me buy it”

If you guys can’t understand, I’ll just show my ability to shut everyone up I’ll let you see my real hidden ability

“Ah, I prepared the drinks for you guys”

““““…………ahh……I see………””””

Minami’s earnest kindness made us cry

“Alright, hurry up and sit down”

After Minami joined in, Himeji-san sat with Minami

“We, well, Himeji-san, what kind of bento did you prepare?”

“Uu, uu, I, I’ forward to it…”

“Ya Haha, hahahahahahaha…”

“…My heart’s beating really fast, I can’t even control it…”

All of us feel the cold sweat floating down our backs, and Hi us see the contents inside

“Eh? That’s strange? Did you prepare a lot less than usual, Mizuki?”

Looking at the bento Hi Minami say this, I seem to feel that the measurement’s really a little too small Besides the multi-layered wooden box, there’s also another bento box that’s smaller by more than two times If I remember correctly, Hi

“Ah, yes Actually, it’s because I failed…”

Saying that, Hier wooden box What’s inside…are little triangular rice balls

“Actually, I made some other dishes, but…”

Speaking of which, the other lunch box should have so I see, because of the lack of side dishes, the bento this time is a lot less than usual

“Do you want to eat some, Minami-chan?”

“Can I? Don’t mind me then”

““““AHHH!!!””””

Before we could even stop her, Minami reached out and stuffed a rice ball into her s would become like this, I would have stuffed the rice ball into Yuuji’s mouth

As we take a deep breath and look on, Minami continued to chew on the rice ball

That’s strange? Did so, happen?

“Mn, it’s just ordinary rice balls, it’s delicious”

“Really? That’s great”

Hiht?

“Oi, Himeji, how did you make these rice balls”

Yuuji seemed to harbor the same doubts as me as he couldn’t help but ask Himeji-san how these rice balls were estive system exceeds normal capability, so there should be some hidden secrets within this rice ball

“I didn’t add anything to it I just added salt to cooked white rice and pinched it to a triangular shape before wrapping it with seaweed”

I see With thatweird Maybe that’s the reason why Minami was able to escape safely

“The rice ball’s really normal, but I worked so hard on the side dishes…”

In other words, this box of rice balls is edible—no, that’s not right, they should be the highest quality rice balls that Himeji-san made from her beautiful hands! If I remember this, I won’t have to worry about it

“Itadakimasu, Himeji-san!”

“Ah, okay, please eat”

I pick up a rice ball from the bento box and put it in my mouth It’s just ordinary rice balls with only salt and seaweed added, but for some reason, it tastes really delicious

“I won’t hold back then”

“I’ll have some too”

“…Itadakimasu”

The rest all reach out and put the rice balls into their mouth It’s because we know of how Himeji-san would cook her food that we had to treasure this ordinary taste of the rice balls It’s like a lost traveler in a desert finding and drinking clear fresh water!

“Oh, oh yes, actually…”

“H?”

“No, well…uu, didn’t Mizuki just say that she failed to make her side dishes? Well…that, if you don’t mind…”

Mina behind

“Hm? Is that a bento? Isn’t that your share, Minami?”

“Ye, yeah But I just ate Mizuki’s rice balls, so…I’ll share this with everyone…”

While saying that, Minami opened the bento box in a rather stiff manner There are sandwiches of assorted flavors Besides the nor, tuna, potato and cheese sandwiches On the other side, there are pieces of fried chicken and oes too No matter how I look at this—this is one luxurious bento!

“Oh~your own share~”

“Even though you say that you want to eat it yourself, there’s quite a lot of serving”

“…How dishonest”

Yuuji and the rest showed a sinister look as they looked at Mina would be toofun of Minauys’ interests are really lousy

“I, I justtheh I, I can’t finish”

Can’t finish? Mina that

“Minami, you should tell me at this point of time I would help you finish it up WAAA—”

Suddenly, I felt an electric shock like pain from my back This, isn’t this…a protractor? Who used this to attack me!

“Yoshi+ Akihisa…I hate you! If Miharu can kill soreat…”

A voice of a girl fro hate to kill…didn’t you just attack me already!?

“This presence…it’s Miharu!”

“daive up on the ambush and strike now! ONEE-SAMAAAA!!!”

“I HAVE NO TIME TO DEAL WITH YOU RIGHT NOW!!”

Mina over here with dust as she gets off in another direction Woah, she’s really fast

“ONEE-SAMA~ ONEE-SAMA!~ O-…NEE…AHH…”

“DON’T, DON’T COME ANY CLOSER! YOU’RE BECOMING EVEN FREAKIER NOWADAYS!!!”

“WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, ONEE-SAMA? IF IT’S FOR ONEE-SAMA, MIHARU WOULD GLADLY FALL INTO THE FALLEN PATH!!”

“THAT’S THE REASON WHY I’M FREAKED OUT!!!”

Why did this happen? Looking at shi+ the test of courage

“Well, forget about it That’s how they build their relationshi+p”

“Ya, like Yuuji and Kirishi+ma”

“…Quite the good relationshi+p”

“It really makes me want to smile”

“OI, YOU GUYS! STOP ACTING LIKE IT DOESN’T INVOLVE YOU! DON’T YOU KNOW HOW THE VICTIM INVOLVED KEPT THINKING OF WAYS TO SURVIVE!?”

It’s a co that those in the way of love should be kicked aside, so I guess we shouldn’t disturb them It’s more important to enjoy this lunch in front of us

“I’ll have some of Minami’s sandwiches then”

I pick up a sandwich and put it in my mouth This seems to be the tuna and potato flavor sandwich It’s nice to eat such things when ’s are little bits of corn, and there’s even ham slices in it These are added to mayonnaise, tuna and potatoes, and finally so This unexpected spicy flavor’s really delicious to me who likes to put spicy stuff in food

“Mn, it’s nice”

“Ohh, this is rather good”

“I feel that the fried chicken and omelets are nice too”

“…Very good”

“Minaood I have to work harder!”

While biting onto the sandwiches Minami prepared, all of us can only praise her for that Minairl in this aspect…if she didn’t exert violence that randouys That’s really a pity

“Today’s lunch’s rather rich Fried chicken to go with rice balls”

“Yea, I thought of going to the welfare club to buy bread for breakfast this et a chance to eat such a nice meal”

“…That’s great”

I chew on the fried chicken Minami prepared, and take another bite off the rice ball Himeji-san made Well, the rice ball Himeji-san made is nice as well The white rice’s cooked to perfection, and there’s the perfect amount of rice Even the force used to pinch the rice is just perfect This is the difference of eating hand- the ones froet sick of it

“Oh yea, where’s the drinks?”

“Speaking of which, Minami seemed like she took them away…”

Looking over at the sports arena, those two probably went to build on their relationshi+p I haven’t found out where they are anyway

If that’s the case, we can only buy our own drinks

““““…””””

Looking up, I exchange looks with Yuuji, Hideyoshi+ and Muttsurini

We quickly turn our backs on Hiin our janken They chose stone in unison, and I chose scissors Did I lose…damn it

“Sorry Akihisa~I want cola”

“I want tea”

“…Lemon soda”

These three guys look rather happy as they ordered the drink they want Everyti so them on my own…because the loser has to treat

“Okay okay, I got it What about you, Himeji-san?”

“Eh? What did you say?”

“I’ you what you want to drink Just treat it as payment for lunch”

“Ah, no need I’ll feel really sorry about this”

She prepared lunch for us and I only wanted to serve her a drink Himeji-san doesn’t need to find mindful about this and hassle with me

“Then, how about red tea? You love to drink that during lunch”

“Ye, yes”

“Then please wait I’ll come back with it later”

I get up from my seat and head to the school hurriedly If I don’t, they’ll finish up the lunch Forget about Minaravely mistaken if I think they would leave food for me

“Hm? Isn’t it Yoshi+-kun?”

“Ah, Kubo-kun”

Just when I was about to reach the vending uy from class A, Kubo Toshi+o back after buying his drink?

“You look rather hurried Why’s that?”

While saying that, Kubo-kun swept his fringe subconsciously I’m rather surprised that he would be bothered about his hairstyle

“I lost in janken, so I have to buy drinks for everyone”

“That’s a coincidence I was about to buy a drink too”

“Uu, I see”

Isn’t the canned oolong tea in his hand a drink?

“Speaking of which, I heard that class F beat class 3-A”

“As for what happened—I don’t knohether it can be considered our victory, but we did enter the finals”

“Really? Either way, that’s wonderful news”

Kubo-kun said that to uilty This feeling’s really unbelievable

But I got praised by Kubo-kun for not losing the h Besides, the Toko-Natsu’s pair not really one to be trifled with usually

“What about you, Kubo-kun? Are you going to take part in the main competition? Ah, is it because that you people didn’t have anything confiscated that you weren’t really motivated?”

“No, that’s not the case In our class, at least class rep Kirishi+ma-san, Kudou-san and me are rather enthusiastic”

“Eh? Is that so?”

Let’s not mention about Kirishi+ma-san and Kudou-san, I’m rather surprised that Kubo-kun would work hard for the baseball tourna

“Because I got a lot of things confiscated as well, like pillow, bolster, bathrooot confiscated”

Is a pillow a necessity to a high school student nowadays?

“If that’s the case, why…”

“We lost because the opponents were too strong And they were s to the subjects That 4th batter was ridiculously powerful”

“Heh, oh…their 4th batter…”

Speaking of the 4th batter, wasn’t that the pitiful person whose soul was sent to the netherworld while preparing to step up? Whether it’s the baldy-seranate or that 4th batter sempai, I really feel sorry for them

“Sigh, this can’t be helped I could only give up on those ites that aren’t related to studies anyway”

“Really? It’s a that Kubo-kun would think this way”

As for the attack on Ironet our items back In a way, that should be rather impressive

“No such thing I’uilty person after all”

“Eh? Really?”

“No…rather, there’s an indescribable wall…”

At that moment, Kubo-kun looked away for some reason and muttered

Here we go again I feel that mysterious chill that ca from

“Oh yes, Yoshi+-kun…”

“Hm? What is it?”

“Can you please look at this 5 yen coin?”

“Hm? I can look here…”

Kubo-kun pulled out a 5-yen coin that’s tied to a thin string What is he trying to do?

“Yoshi+-kun…”

“What is it?”

“Reach your hand here”

“Eh? Isn’t that too sudden? Even if you want , I…”

“Ahh, nothing Sorry I have no intention of treating Yoshi+-kun like a dog”

I tried my best to hideattached to it, see

“…It’s troubling that I couldn’t get that hypnotism book from Kirishi+ma-san…”

I didn’t hear what he said clearly, but I felt that I just lost 10 years of my life

“Ah, got to hurry! Yuuji and the rest are going to finish off the food!”

“Really? Sorry to bother you Let’s get the drink”

“Mn, sorry, Kubo-kun”

“No, don’t mind it, Aki-ch—sorry, Yoshi+-kun”

While talking to Kubo-kun, I felt a chill down my back as I couldn’t help but tilt my head But I still sped up to buy the drinks

Then, after buying the drinks, I said goodbye to Kubo-kun and returned to where everyone was

“THE RICE’S THE CULP—!”

Leaving those words behind, Hideyoshi+ collapsed onto the floor

“Please have some of it♪”

“Ha, haha, ha…hahahahaha…”

“…(Tre violently)”

As Himeji-san smiled, Yuuji and Muttsurini looked absolutely terrified as they tre this,at me to ‘run away now’

“Too bad they sold out on cola I have to see if there’s any place else selling them—”

“Oh, Akihisa! You finally caet about the cola Just sit down first!”

“…(Nods head as if he’s arlic)!”

da me to hell!? That bastard!

“Sorry Yuuji, I’ofer job well, o out of the school gate, I have to buy the cola back!”

“Nonono, I don’t really want to drink cola that much You don’t have to work so hard More than that, you have to sit down no matter what”

“I can’t do that I’ve already pro it back My sense of responsibility wouldn’t allow o of those arhtly?”

“Hahaha…don’t say it I told you to sit down, you bastard!”

“Hahaha…anyway, I told you to let go, you scum!”

“Well…Akihisa-kun, aren’t you holding onto a can of cola?”

That da Heme down!

“…Akihisa, you’re really indecisive”

“WAAAHHH!”

Muttsurini suddenly kickedme to collapse onto the floor The actions of of these two and the corpse of Hideyoshi+ lying not far away are telling et away

“Anyway, it’s been tough on you, going out on your way to buy drinks for us Have some rice balls first”

“Ah, okay…”

Yuuji smiled as he passed me Himeji-san’s rice balls I reht?

I reach out for a triangular rice ball and toss it into ht

“…Che, he’s alright…”

“…Lucky him”

The two guys standing besideon now?

“You three, no need to hold back Have some more”

“Ah, thank, thank you, Himeji-san”

“Is, is that so…then”

“…(Ss saliva)”

As Himeji-san told us to eat oing on? I suddenly feel an o us…

“Hi, Himeji-san…”

“Yes, what is it?”

“Did you—add so special in these rice balls?”

I just ate some normal rice balls, but since Yuuji and Muttsurini are definitely terrified, and after seeing Hideyoshi+’s corpse, I’’s amiss

“I didn’t haveBut…”

“But?”

“2 of theredients I used to make those side dishes”

At this moment, Himeji-san’s bento box became a landmine

“I prepared dessert too Please have more”

“““Ha, haha, ha…”””

Yuuji, Muttsurini and me can only hold onto the rice balls in our hands and let out a dry laugh However, we couldn’t e to eat it Oh, oh yea, I should say so the time on

“We, well, Hi of which…”

“Yes, what is it?”
