// May 2 (Friday)
<0001>
// Lunch break... somehow, this thing happening right now during lunch ended up becoming a standard... *
<0002>
// I came here again after locking up Sunohara in the washroom.
<0003>
// This time, I wrote "Rugby Club Recruitment Interview Room" on the door.
<0004>
// There were three boxes laid down.
<0005> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Fujibayashi didn't make one today?"
<0006> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... uu... that is... no..."
<0007> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Hey, do you think it's okay to normally ask something like that?"
<0008> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh? Why?"
<0009> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "You have no manners. Think about Ryou's feelings a little."
<0010> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Eh...? Ah... it's okay. That is... it's my fault for making such strange stuff."
<0011> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Uh no... that wasn't what I really meant though..."
<0012> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "While yesterday's lunch was pretty tough to handle, you'd get better if you practice."
<0013> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "But... it's not good to hurt your stomach..."
<0014> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Oh yeah, what happened to Botan after that?"
<0015> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "He finally came to at night."
<0016> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "This morning he still seemed sick, and completely exhausted..."
<0017> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "It'd be good if he doesn't get any strange after-effects..."
<0018> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Aaau..."
<0019>
// Fujibayashi drops her head hard at hearing Kyou's words.
<0020> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... you're the one who doesn't have any manners at all..."
<0021> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Eh? Why?"
<0022>
// She didn't notice, huh...
<0023> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, we should leave the subject of Fujibayashi's lunch aside and eat lunch right now."
<0024>
// I forcibly change the subject, so as to keep Fujibayashi's image from starting to become like she's a terrible cook. *
<0025> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "I guess. I'm hungry after all."
<0026>
// Kyou spreads out the boxes.
<0027> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Today's main dish is a bit light. It's Kyoto-style meat and potato stew."
<0028> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "It's delicious even if it's not warm anymore."
<0029>
// Kyou says that gleefully.
<0030>
// She really has a big repertoire of cooking abilities, doesn't she?
<0031> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Even though I say Kyoto style, my 'style' doesn't really have any meaning at all."
<0032> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Ahahahahaha!"
<0033>
// She agrees with herself...
<0034> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Come, let's eat."
<0035> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."
<0036> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Thanks for the food."
<0037>
// We start picking out stuff with our chopsticks at random.
<0038>
// Lunch in the front garden.
<0039>
// With us three on a mat, and the lunch boxes spread out.
<0040>
// The people around us are probably wondering what's happening here.
<0041>
// Probably no one realizes I'm going out with Fujibayashi.
<0042> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... these vegetables are good..."
<0043> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "I soaked them thoroughly in kelp broth."
<0044> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "The amount of mirin I used is unbelievable~"
<0045> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "I'll show you carefully how to do it next time, so learn well!"
<0046> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Okay."
<0047>
// Quite the caring older sister...
<0048>
// In regards to that...
<0049>
// I stare at Fujibayashi.
<0050>
// She noticed that I'm looking at her, so she raised her head.
<0051>
// Our eyes meet.
<0052> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "... ah..."
<0053>
// She lowers her head and blushes again, as always.
<0054>
// A shy younger sister...
<0055>
// Even though they're twins, their personalities mirror each other.
<0056> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Hmm? What's wrong, \m{B}?"
<0057> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm?"
<0058> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "You were just staring at Ryou--..."
<0059> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Ah, maybe, I'm... in the way...?"
<0060> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No, that's not..."
<0061> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Y-you're not really bothering us at all..."
<0062>
// Fujibayashi stoops over and says that as if trying to interrupt me.
<0063>
// Kind of rare for her to do that.
<0064> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... umm... well..."
<0065> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "E-eating with lots of people is... ummm... more fun and delicious, so..."
<0066> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."
<0067> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Really...? Actually, it was bothering me a little bit~"
<0068> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "I was wondering whether or not it would be better to just leave the two of you alone during lunch~"
<0069> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "T... that's not it... umm... not at all!"
<0070>
// Well... if she says that with all her might, my position as her boyfriend will end up meaningless...
<0071> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... umm... how should I say this... onee-chan is onee-chan... so... that's why..."
<0072>
// Calm down...
<0073> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "So... uh... uhh... umm... so..."
<0074> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Y-Your lunch is great, and we're relying a lot on you, that's why... umm... well..."
<0075> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "For now, it means you're not really in the way."
<0076>
// I place my hand on Fujibayashi's head who couldn't think straight and speak in her place.
<0077>
// Fujibayashi looks at me almost instantly as if surprised and nods heavily.
<0078> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Uwaah, you're totally looking like a couple right now!"
<0079> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh?"
<0080> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Putting your hand on her head and talking in her stead. Doesn't that feel like you're on mutual understanding?"
<0081> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "T-That wasn't really a big deal at all, right?"
<0082> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "No no~ that was really cool just now~"
<0083> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "She was having a hard time putting it in words so I spoke in her stead."
<0084> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "In short, you understand what Ryou wants to say, isn't that right?"
<0085> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You should, right? That's normal."
<0086> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Who knows~"
<0087>
// Beside me, Fujibayashi blushes red holding the chopsticks to her mouth.
<0088>
// Kyou snickers at us, as if she's enjoying the situation.
<0089> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Ummm, Fujibayashi. You know, wouldn't it be better if you could honestly say what you think?"
<0090> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Huh...?"
<0091>
// Her shoulders tremble at my sudden words.
<0092> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It would definitely be better that way. You could surely and immediately fix your passive personality."
<0093> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "That's also true, it feels better when you speak out with guts and conviction!"
<0094> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... that... but..."
<0095> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Look, there you go mumbling again."
<0096> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Getting all that stress will someday burst your stomach."
<0097>
// As if, you fool...
<0098> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, Fujibayashi."
<0099> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Yes...?"
<0100> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What do you think of me?"
<0101> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Huh? Huh---? U... um... uh... that is..."
<0102>
// As her face turned red, her eyes alternate between Kyou and me.
<0103> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "\size{16}.........you...\size{}"
<0104> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm?"
<0105> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "\size{16}... I... like you...\size{}"
<0106> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Uh... no... not that..."
<0107> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "What's this? Trying to brag in front of me?"
<0108> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Like I said, not like that. What I meant was, I'm a delinquent, right?"
<0109> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Huh...? Uh... y-yeah... what about it?"
<0110> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "At the very least, I'm a problem child. What do you think about \bthat?"\u
<0111> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Uh... um... that..."
<0112> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "You're not... really such a bad person... I think..."
<0113> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's okay to tell me what you really think."
<0114> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... uu... but......"
<0115> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... Kyou, demonstrate how you'd say it."
<0116> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Uwaah, you sly idiot Yankee. It looks like you're walking down the shadowy dark path of life at full speed!"
<0117> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "You think that if you act bad you'll become popular? Completely out of fashion method, huh~"
<0118> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "But, wouldn't that make your existence worth nothing to the point where you're included in the life cycle of water fleas?"
<0119> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "If my words vex you, perform photosynthesis so you can exhale some oxygen."
<0120> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You trying to start a fight, girl?!"
<0121> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "What? You were the one who said to tell it honestly."
<0122> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It hurts when you go that far!"
<0123> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "I picked my words carefully."
<0124> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You picked that?!"
<0125> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... wawa... I don't think, arguing is good."
<0126>
// Fujibayashi looks at us in a daze.
<0127> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Ah, umm, there are times when the result of your fortune telling is bad, right?"
<0128> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "In short, it'd be better if you're also prepared to speak normally on those occasions."
<0129> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... uu... but... fortune telling... is fortune telling so..."
<0130>
// She helplessly droops her shoulders as she says that.
<0131>
// I wonder what I should do to make her more confident.
<0132>
// ... I'll try to use her special skill in fortune telling and make her clearly state the result...
<0133>
// I'll use mind control, and then I'll make her think about the result of all her fortune telling and let her talk about it.
<0134>
// .........
<0135>
// No good... her fortune telling is dangerous...
<0136> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Ryou's \bSwitch to Aggressive Plan\u~! Yay~!"
<0137>
// Kyou shouts that all of a sudden.
<0138>
// Holding a crab wiener on her mouth.
<0139>
// Fujibayashi and I give the stupid sister a suspicious look.
<0140> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "In short, we just need to give her confidence! Confidence!"
<0141> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Isn't that difficult?"
<0142> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "It's all right, I have an easy way of making her build up confidence!"
<0143>
// She says that, pointing her chopsticks at me.
<0144> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh? Me?"
<0145> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Yup. If she considers you more like a boyfriend, she'll definitely have confidence."
<0146> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "'I am not alone, this useless person is watching over me,' like that."
<0147> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Who's useless...?"
<0148> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Who else?"
<0149> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0150>
// I think of Sunohara for the time being...
<0151> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... so, exactly what's this plan to gain confidence?"
<0152> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "That's uh~ well... hmm~~"
<0153>
// She closes her eyes as she gazes at the sky, thinking about something.
<0154>
// Fujibayashi and I watch her carefully.
<0155>
// Kyou stayed like that for a while...
<0156> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Uwaah... it's too early for that..."
<0157>
// Her face suddenly blushes red, saying something that I don't understand.
<0158>
// She looks at us after keeping her eyes in the air.
<0159> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Y-You guys are still in school!"
<0160> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "You guys should try to be calm and not do anything silly!"
<0161> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What are you talking about...?"
<0162> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Eh... h... huh? Ahahaha, nothing at all, nothing at all!"
<0163> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Anyway, try doing \bthat\u, you know, \bthat\u."
<0164> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "?"
<0165> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "\bThat?"\u
<0166> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "What she couldn't do before~"
<0167>
// Kyou grabs an octopus wiener with her chopsticks and smiles like a cat.
<0168> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Talking about the 'Say, aaahhh...'"
<0169>
// I hear a 'pop' right beside me.
<0170>
// As always, Fujibayashi blushes red, looking timidly at me like that.
<0171> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "F... Fujibayashi...?"
<0172> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Uh... y-y-y-y... yes?!"
<0173>
// Even more, she's trembling like mad.
<0174> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Ryou, Go Go~"
<0175> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Uu... eh... ah... umm... well... uu... uu~"
<0176> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Come on, \m{B}, get ready to open your mouth and say 'aaahhh.'"
<0177> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Uh... even if you force me to..."
<0178> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Ryou's getting ready."
<0179> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh?! Seriously?!"
<0180>
// I look over beside me in an exaggerated way.
<0181>
// Fujibayashi looks reddened with her hands shivering as she reaches out for the octopus wiener.
<0182>
// Slip...
<0183> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... wawa..."
<0184>
// She can't seem to grab hold of it.
<0185> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I don't think you have to push yourself?"
<0186>
// She manages to get the octopus wiener as I say that.
<0187>
// And then, she looks at me with those teary eyes.
<0188> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "U... umm... \m{A}-kun... umm..."
<0189> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "U-uh... a... a~"
<0190> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Fight, Ryou!"
<0191> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Please say a... aaahhh..."
<0192> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0193>
// I give a quick glance at Kyou.
<0194>
// She returns it to me with a faint glare, telling me to respond to her.
<0195> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... aaahhh..."
<0196>
// For now, I'll open my mouth.
<0197> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "........."
<0198>
// The wiener doesn't reach.
<0199>
// It's shaking right in front of my mouth.
<0200> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Come on Ryou, a little closer, just put it into that hole!"
<0201>
// Don't put mouths and holes together...
<0202> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Uu... ah... umm... umm... \m{A}-kun... your teeth look clean."
<0203>
// Where the hell are you looking...
<0204>
// Fujibayashi looks at me with a such a red face to the point where she looks like she's about to cry...
<0205>
// Her hand isn't moving.
<0206>
// Even then, keeping my mouth open like this makes me look too much like an idiot.
<0207>
// My jaw's becoming tired.
<0208>
// Something hit my teeth the moment I closed my mouth.
<0209>
// No, I'm chewing on something.
<0210>
// At the same time, I felt something hard in my mouth that was cold and slightly seasoned...
<0211> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah..."
<0212> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0213>
// Looks like she managed the put the wiener in my mouth.
<0214>
// Fujibayashi pulls the chopsticks out of my mouth in confusion, leaving the wiener.
<0215>
// I simply gnaw at the food.
<0216> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "You did it, Ryou."
<0217>
// Kyou looks at this with delight.
<0218> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... ha... wawa... wah..."
<0219> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Come on, you should also say something too."
<0220> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh? Y-Yeah... umm... I bit the chopsticks a bit, but are you okay?"
<0221> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Not that! Say something like, it's delicious or you're happy~!"
<0222> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Uh... well saying I am happy is somehow..."
<0223> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "For now, just say something!"
<0224> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Umm... it was delicious."
<0225> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Wah..."
<0226>
// Fujibayashi becomes embarrassed at my words, looking down at the boxes.
<0227>
// And then, she picked up an octopus wiener with the chopsticks and ate it herself.
<0228> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Ah!"
<0229>
// Kyou's sudden voice stabs at Fujibayashi.
<0230>
// Fujibayashi gives her sister a strange look.
<0231> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What's wrong?"
<0232> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Indirect..."
<0233> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Huh?"
<0234> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Those chopsticks were in your mouth, \m{B}."
<0235> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "...?"
<0236>
// Kyou points out that... those chopsticks were in my mouth, and then a few seconds later with food in Fujibayashi's...
<0237> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Indirect kiss."
<0238> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "------!!!!"
<0239>
// Fujibayashi's face burns deep red at those words.
<0240>
// Her body began shaking at that moment, almost to the point where her hair stood up on its own.
<0241> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... wawa... I... I... I...!"
<0242> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "J, j-j... just... now..."
<0243> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Just now... \m{A}-kun's... wah... wawa..."
<0244>
// This thing happened once before.
<0245> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Calm down, Fujibayashi."
<0246> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Yeah, there's no problem; it's not like it's intimate or anything."
<0247> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "B... but... but... I... I... something... like this..."
<0248> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "~~~~~~~"
<0249>
// As always, Fujibayashi gets up with her eyes rolling all around.
<0250> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "S... s-s... s... I'm sorry~~!"
<0251>
// And then she runs off with chopsticks in hand...
<0252>
// Her back disappears from our sight just like that.
<0253> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Ah..."
<0254> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "As I thought, it would turn this way..."
<0255> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "She's fast; her legs are pretty good, huh..."
<0256> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Surprising, isn't it?"
<0257> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Hey, you should go after her!"
<0258> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No... going would be useless. She's embarrassed, so she'll just run away."
<0259> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Ah... well... yeah... I... guess so..."
<0260> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Besides, there's the problem with the lunch boxes left behind."
<0261>
// I look at the lunch boxes, which are still half-full, as I say that.
<0262> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "\m{B}."
<0263> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm?"
<0264> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Fight!"
<0265> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You put in some effort too, damn it!"
<0266>
// And like that, our battle had begun.た。
<0267>
// We give it our best with the chopsticks, but it doesn't feel like it's getting less and less.
<0268>
// Despite that, our stomachs got bigger and bigger.
<0269>
// We're in a bad position... we might not be able to finish all this in time...
<0270> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Oh yeah, that's right. Hey, \m{B}."
<0271> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm?"
<0272>
// I lift my head up as I put asparagus-wrapped bacon in my mouth.
<0273> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Just wondering, what can you say about going out with Ryou?"
<0274> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "......?"
<0275>
// I gulp down and tilt my neck as I look at Kyou.
<0276> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What can... I say?"

<0279>
// Answering's a bit troubling.
<0280>
// Am I having fun with Fujibayashi...?
<0281>
// Certainly for the past week, Fujibayashi's been with me.
<0282>
// But, something like that isn't all that special.
<0283>
// Even though we're lovers, we really haven't progressed at all.
<0284>
// But, being with her, I got to know things I didn't know about her before.
<0285>
// If I didn't know any better, I probably would have seen her as a normal classmate.
<0286>
// At least, I have now come to understand that she can pull out some courage to step up to me.
<0287> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "... is it boring...?"
<0288>
// Kyou, anxious at my silence, asks that.
<0289> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... no, for the time being... I guess it's fun."

// \{\m{B}} "If I didn't go out with her, maybe I wouldn't be here right now."
<0291> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "She might be a really shy person, but watching her give her best for me is fun."
<0292> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "There's her fortune telling, her strange stubbornness, how she gets all embarrassed at trivial things..."
<0293> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "How her cooking is terrible, her unbelievable running speed..."
<0294> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'm sure that if I were just her friend, I wouldn't have known all that."
<0295> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's like you said; that's something you'll know if you go out with someone for the first time... I think."
<0296> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "At the very least, this past week's been pretty worthwhile."
<0297>
// Kyou listens silently to my words.
<0298>
// After that, she looks over at the lunch boxes for the time being as she thinks of something.
<0299>
// I don't know what was reflected in her eyes.
<0300>
// But when she brought her head up again, she was the same old Kyou.
<0301> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Well~ somehow it felt like you just bragged to me~"

// \{\m{B}} "I'm saying, you want to go home together?"
<0345>
// I say it again.

<0351> \{\m{B}} ""

<0352>
// I carelessly said it.
<0353> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah..."
<0354>
// Her eyes widen at that moment.
<0355>
// Though she's blushing, her face seems happy yet shy.

// \{\m{B}} "You're coming with us?"
<0370> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Ahaha, I'll decline. I'd feel awkward butting in when you finally have the chance to be together alone."
<0371>
// Kyou exaggerates her smile, saying that.
<0372> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Besides that, you have to do what we talked about at lunch."
<0373> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "At lunch...? That date thing?"

<0378>
// We both walk to the shoe lockers.

// We remain silent as we walk shoulder to shoulder.
<0380>
// The sounds of the indoor shoes tapping against the hallway floor.
<0381>
// The girl next to me really bothers me...
<0382>
// Even though we're walking in silence, it felt like it's just made Kyou's presence much stronger.
<0383>
// For some reason, it feels like the distance to the shoe locker is far...
<0384>
// All I do is just glance beside me as I look forward.
<0385>
// With unwavering emotion, Kyou was walking with a normal look on her face.
<0386> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Hmm?"
<0387>
// Kyou turns to face me as she notices my glance at her.
<0388> \{Kyou} ""

<0389> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nah, nothing."

// \{Kyou} "Did you say something?"
<0398> \{\m{B}} ""

<0399>
// A flash of white light hit my eyes for about two seconds.
<0400> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It still hurts..."
<0401>
// I lean against the wall as I pat my head.
<0402> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "That's because you were saying rude things!"
<0403> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "A person who calls themselves cute should be confronted with a proper tsukkomi though."

// \{\m{B}} "All right. Next time, I'll only think about it."

<0411> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I see..."
<0412>
// To tell the truth, I feel more at ease if she's around when Fujibayashi and I hold a conversation...

// \{\m{B}} "Well, take care then."
<0414> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "You too, escort Ryou back home, okay?"

<0419> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Later, bye bye!"
<0420>
// And then she waves her hand, going home alone.
<0421>
// I sigh as I watch her leave.
<0422>
// Not before long, Fujibayashi finally came out of the school building.
<0423>
// Somehow, she looks depressed, tottering towards me.
<0424>
// I was thinking she would come running up here, saying something like "S-sorry for, keeping you, waiting"...
<0425> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yo."
<0426> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... sorry for... keeping you waiting..."

// \{Ryou} "No... it's nothing... it's all right..."

// Saying that, she sighs.
<0430> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Even if you say so, you don't sound convincing."
<0431> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "... sorry..."
<0432> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Let's go for now."
<0433> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "... okay..."
<0434>
// We were walking without any particular conversation.
<0435>
// I sort of expected this kind of thing.
<0436>
// Fujibayashi's behavior is hard to understand.
<0437>
// Is she hiding her embarrassed face...? It doesn't look like it.
<0438>
// Fujibayashi, still depressed, walks tensely beside me.
<0439>
// I match up her walking pace.
<0440> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... hey, Fujibayashi."
<0441> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Eh... ah... yes...?"
<0442>
// She looks up as I call her.
<0443>
// Somehow her eyes look sad.
<0444> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What's making you feel down?"
<0445> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Did something happen after I left the classroom?"
<0446> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "It's not... anything important..."
<0447>
// Her gaze falls to the ground once again.
<0448>
// Her walking speed dropped a bit as well.
<0449> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It might be useless for me to listen, but if possible, could you tell me?"
<0450> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'm your boyfriend right now, so wouldn't it be sad if all I did was watch you as you feel depressed?"
<0451> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... u... sorry..."
<0452> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'm not really criticizing you, so you don't have to apologize..."
<0453> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "If you tell me, I can give you advice. You'll feel more at ease compared to keeping it all to yourself."
<0454> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "........."
<0455>
// Fujibayashi nods silently at my words.
<0456>
// She gripped onto the handle of her bag tightly, making its portion become whiter. *

// \{\m{B}} "Well, if it's hard to say, then it can't be helped."

<0463> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "After you... left the classroom, \m{A}-kun... I... did something..."

// She suddenly ended up saying disappointing words.
<0470> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Uh... umm... I know that it's a weird kind of fortune telling, but... but... umm..."
<0471> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "That was the first time you called me out on your own, \m{A}-kun... that's why I was nervous... and anxious... and... and..."

<0473>
// Fujibayashi desperately apologizes with a face that's about to cry.
<0474>
// I see.
<0475>
// That's the kind of person she is.
<0476>
// The reason for her passive personality is because she doesn't have self-confidence.
<0477>
// That's why she wants to rely to something.
<0478>
// And this time, she picked up fortune telling as something to rely on.
<0479>

<0488>
