When the bell rang, Shishio knew that it was time for a break, and he thought of meeting Saki, but he did not expect her to come to his class.
He was about to approach her, but ...
"Oh, Oga-kun."
"Hmm?" Shishio, who had yet to get out of his seat, looked at Nanami, who was calling out to him.
"What's wrong, Aoyama-san."
Even though Nana wasn't talking to Shishio, she still cared about him, so when she saw Nanami suddenly calling out to him, she felt curious and wondered what was happening.
Nanami was a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you for the onigiris earlier. After I wash the bento box, I'll return it to you."
Nana raised her next to her eyebrows.
"You don't have to think too much. I just did what everyone in that situation would do." Shishio shook his head and said, "You can return the bento box to me directly without washing it."
"No, no, I can't do that." Nanami shook her head and felt too rude if she did not wash the bento box.
"Well, if you say so. But what do you think of Onigiri? It doesn't feel too bad, does it?" Shishio asked.
"Eh, good." Nanami had to admit that her onigiri taste was so good that it made her wonder if Shishio wanted to become a chef in the future.
Still, her tears made the onigiri taste a little salty, even though she wouldn't say it.
"But I've eaten your bentom. What will you eat?"
"Well, I'll buy some bread or go to the cafeteria" Shishio said briefly and glanced at Saki who was outside the classroom.
He smiled as he looked at her expression and wanted to tease her even more, acting as if he did not see her there.
"Um, if you don't mind, what if I treat you?" Nanami suddenly asked.
"What?" Shishio's surprised.
Nanami was a bit embarrassed, and her face was red.
"I mean you don't have anything to eat right now, do you? I feel bad about bringing you your lunch, so if you don't mind, how about I treat you?"
"Are you sure?" Although Shishio likes something free, and he also doesn't mean to be treated by a girl, he knows how difficult Nanami is to get her money from various part-time jobs, and she doesn't mean to be treated by a girl, so it was very surprising to him when he heard that he was going to go there to treat him.
"Ms." Nanami nodded without hesitation and said, "You have also bought me bread before, at least, let me treat you to lunch or something because it feels a bit uncomfortable because I have always been the recipient."
"Aoyama-san, you don't need to think too much. I have never thought of helping you with such intentions before," Shishio said as he shook his head.
"I know." Nanami nodded with a smile and said, "But I want to."
"..."
Shishio looked at Nanami for a while and wondered if this girl did not love Sorata anymore.
He thought for a while, but suddenly his name was called.
"Shishio!"
Shishio turned around and saw Saki calling his name.
"B - Can you come here?" Saki asked with a red face as she felt embarrassed to call out to him so suddenly.
It was her first experience to do something like this, but when she saw Shishio talking to Nanami, she couldn't help it, and she somehow felt that this man was teasing her!
Saki then quickly changed her expression into a cold expression, which caused everyone who looked at her curiously to waste face because they felt that she was scary!
Shishio looked at Saki with a smile, then looked at Nanami again.
"Well, Aoyama-san, someone called me now. Let's talk about your future treaty, but I'm really anticipating it."
"Ms." Nanami nodded with a smile, but inwardly, she felt sad.
Seeing her stand up and walk towards Saki, she has the urge to take her shirt to stop her, but she is just her classmate.
What right does it have to stop him?
Nana did not stare at Nanami anymore and looked at Saki and Shishio, who were walking out together.
"It's okay, Na?" ask Mea.
"Did Kawasaki-senpai have any connection with Shishio?" ask Maiko.
After all, the shadow Saki had in her mind was a pretty cold yet kind girl because even though Saki might appear to be showing a cold expression, it was a pretty cool one, she had been helped by Saki when she was almost choked by drinking soda in the arcade before.
In addition, Saki patted her back and stroked her back, which made her impression of Saki quite good.
"Well, it's okay, they might have something to talk to each other about, maybe .." said Nana, but then her face flushed red as she thought about her conversation with Saki earlier when she thought about dating Shishio together.
Touching her lips, she recalled the feeling when Shishio took her first kiss.
He could still feel his heart pounding, and it was very pleasant and comfortable at the same time.
He wanted to do it again, but when he thought about the problem between the two of them ...
"Why did you touch your lips?" Mea asked with a puzzled expression.
"Are you sexually frustrated?" Maiko asked with a bit of confusion.
"....." Nana thought that she really wanted to slap the butt of her friends at that moment.
He then glanced at Nanami and raised his eyebrows.
'He can show such an expression, right?'
---
Shishio walked up to Saki and asked in a seductive tone, "Did you miss me so much?"
Saki snorted and swung her head, almost slapping her ponytail at Shishio.
When his ponytail happens to be near his nose, Shishio always wonders why girls always smell good.
"Saki?"
"...I - I brought you lunch," said Saki with a reddened face and felt a little embarrassed, showing the two bento boxes in her hands.
"Ms." Saki nodded and said, "I've promised you before, right? Anyway, I'm your secretary."
"Not a girlfriend?" Shishio asked.
"I - I don't agree!" Saki suddenly became panicked, and her face was extremely red.
"Then let's have lunch together," Shishio said without hesitation, wondering what kind of lunch Saki had prepared for him.
"Um, follow me. I know a quiet place," Saki said and immediately left while pulling Shishio's hand.
He wasn't good at getting along, and he wasn't good at communicating either, but even so, he forced himself to come to Shishio's class, even though it felt uncomfortable for him.
Still, regardless of that, she knew that she needed to meet him, and she wanted to meet him as soon as possible!
Looking at Saki, who was pulling her hands excitedly, looking at the smile on her face, Shishio felt a little guilty, but he quickly shook his head and followed her because he knew that he could not return and he had to step forward no matter what.
---
Leading her to a quiet place, Shishio observes the location where Saki took her and must admit that this place is quiet.
Surrounded by many trees, there were many leaves scattered on the ground, and there were several benches built around it.
"I didn't know that we had a place like this at school," Shishio said, looking around curiously as he could see that there were only the two of them here.
Still, he wasn't too surprised, considering this place was a bit far from the cafeteria or the bakery food truck, and most of the students would eat in class.
"Well, you've only been in school for a week, so it's normal for you not to know this place" Saki said and sat on the bench.
Shishio also sat next to him naturally and asked, "Have you eaten here yet?"
"Not really, but sometimes I'll stay in class," Saki said briefly.
"....." Shishio thought that this girl was really a loner and said, "Let's eat together from now on."
"Ms." Saki nodded shyly, especially when she clasped her hands.
"So, should we eat?" Shishi asked.
"okay." Saki nodded and felt a little nervous, taking out the bento box she had prepared.
"Here, I've prepared for you."
"Thank you." Shishio took the bento box expectantly and opened the cover directly, but he had to admit that the bento box Saki had prepared was very simple and plain.
"...Is that clear, right?" Saki asked while sighing.
"No, I'm happy with that, but isn't it a problem for you to make me bento like this?" Shishio asked.
In his previous life, he had never had such an experience.
Even if she had a boyfriend before, she only cooked at home.
So during his high school time, he would eat in the cafeteria because it was convenient.
Shishio has to admit that the tradition of this country where girls cook bento for boys is quite unique and new to him.
But, regardless, the plain and simple bento, she was glad Saki made this for her.
Saki shook her head and said, "I'm used to it, and I don't work at night cafes like before, so I have time to prepare a bento for you." She looked at him speechlessly and said, "Stay, even though you have hired me, I really haven't done anything yet, which makes me uncomfortable to accept your money, so at least, I'm not, I want to help you with something as simple as this bento. ."
Shishio looked at Saki for a moment and asked, "So this bento is from Saki as my secretary or Saki as my girlfriend?"
"W-what difference!? And I haven't agreed to be your girlfriend!" Saki's face was red once again, and she thought this man really liked teasing her, right?
"Of course it's different. If Saki is my secretary, then you're doing this out of obligation, if you're doing this because you're my boyfriend, then .. I don't need to explain it, right?" Shishio asked. Even though he knew the answer, he only wanted to tease her because it was so much fun.
"Th-That's not very important, is it? Eat up!" Saki was very embarrassed and felt annoyed, wondering why she had always been ridiculed by someone younger than her.
"Yes yes." Shishio smiled and ate the bento Saki prepared.
She has tasted the food Saki prepared in the past, and of course, it feels fine, but maybe because she knows Saki's feelings towards her that makes this bento taste very special.
"How's that?" Saki asked with a bit of nervousness.
"Enak," Shishio said without hesitation.
"That's great..." Saki sighed in relief and also started eating.
They dine together, enjoy their surroundings while talking about their respective classes because Shishio did not know much about Saki when she was at school.
After all, he was older than her, and he was in his 2nd year.
She wanted to hear the story about Saki in her first year, but she could imagine that she would be very haughty.
After all, it was a very pleasant conversation with Saki that exploded from time to time, showing the shame of being ridiculed by Shishio the entire time.
Saki looked at Shishio, and even though she was teased by him the whole time, it was really fun, and she thought it was really fun to be with him.
As for her confession yesterday, she still felt conflicted as she was not the only one, but now, she was pretending as if it had never happened.
Saki then thinks about her conversation with Nana last night and wonders if Nana didn't say anything to Shishio.
He also wondered if Shishio did not know what was happening. If so, then he is grateful.
He knew that he was sneaky enough to do this, and even though he knew that he might not be the only one in the future, he wanted to monopolize him alone now, and if possible, he wanted to, it will happen in the future.
Shishio put down the bento box after they finished eating and said, "Thank you, Saki."
"Um, no problem." Saki shook her head with a helpless expression.
"Well, Saki, we've had lunch, so may I ask you?" Shishio asked.
"What questions?" Saki asked normally and did not think too much about what Shishio wanted to ask because he had asked her many questions before.
"Can you tell me why you're so close to Nana?" Shishio asked without hesitation, wondering what happened between Nana and Saki.
