Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:GT Volume16 Chapter1 (section)

===Part 5===

Nevertheless, the time had come to eat it.

(It’s not all that bad really. I mean, curry rice and scrambled eggs are both fine. So why does it feel like disappointing reheated leftovers?)

Kamijou munched on the egg curry that was maybe better called “curry rice topped with an omelet that has already been destroyed before you can spit it open with your own spoon”.

He still had a mission left to complete.

He could fill his own belly by eating the food here, but he still had to secure food for Index and Othinus waiting back in his room. However, it would be far too conspicuous if he bought a ticket and then brought the tray up to his room.

(I guess I’ll have to do what I did yesterday. I’m just afraid they’ll get tired of eating the same thing day after day.)

Humans had a tendency to go back to a solution that has worked once before. As long as Index and Othinus didn’t protest.

And so he focused on one corner of the dining hall.

Fortunately, they had breads and such for sale there separate from the meals meant to be eaten in the dining hall. Based on the handwritten display, they were meant as snacks for anyone studying late into the night.

Each item cost 100 yen.

There was a collection box like for a charity as well as a phone reader.

They all looked cheap piled up like that, but maybe you had to choose carefully to get your money’s worth.

Regardless, he was glad to have items you didn’t have to eat in the dining hall since he couldn’t bring Index and Othinus to the dining hall to eat. There were a wide variety of breads, but Kamijou selected the larger ones that looked like they had a lot of veggies inside. Like the stir fried meat and vegetables bread. …He didn’t think of stir fried meat and vegetables as something you ate with bread, but then yakisoba wasn’t really something you ate with bread either.

He felt a tug at his shirt inside his uniform.

Courtesy of Othinus.

“(Grab the whipped cream French bread. I want to eat that. Not the chocolate bread or the cream bread. It has to be the whipped cream French bread!)”

“(What are you planning to do with a bread about as big as you are, Othinus? Hold it like a body pillow while you eat it? Now that’s a form of divine entertainment mankind would never even dream of.)”

But whatever.

He also grabbed a croquette bread and a curry bread before noticing eyes on him.

And not just from one person.

“?”

He shouldn’t have turned around.

The girls were glaring at him.

He had noticed a lot of pressure on him, but was this why?

He looked down at the bag of breads he was holding. He knew Index’s gluttonous appetite well, so he had at least five in there…

Fukiyose Seiri kept her voice low, speaking on behalf of them all.

“Weight. Do you have any idea how much we have to deprive ourselves for that cursed word? And then this damn inconsiderate boy has to show up and start stuffing his face. And to make matters worse, he doesn’t even hesitate to go for the whipped cream French bread that all of us want to eat but can never actually let ourselves eat…”

(They have the wrong idea here, but I can’t exactly tell them these are for Index and Othinus in my room!!)

“Honestly, I force myself to take long baths every day to sweat off as much weight as I can and then this growing boy has to do this in front of me.”

“That’s just a sexy woman who loves bathing. Are you trying to take beauty so far you turn yourself into a dried shiitake? Besides, what’s the point of spending hours naked in the bath when drinking a single glass of water will cancel it all out?”

They started throwing things.
