After Practicing S*x With My Childhood Friend I Don’t Even Like, I Started Becoming Popular With Beautiful Girls. However, for Some Reason, My Childhood Friend Starts Acting Cold - Chapter 28 - Very Troubling…

Chapter 28 – Very Troubling…

“Well, that’s all for today.”

The morning classes were over and lunchtime arrived.

There are three main ways to get lunch at Mihama Academy.

The first is lunch boxes. This is mainly the impression of a group of mild-mannered girls who spend their lunch break in the classroom. 

The second is buying bread. The boys who have more than enough strength will dash to the store to fight for the bread.

And the third that remains is…

“Amakawa~kun~ Let’s eat at the school cafeteria~?”

Yes, in the cafeteria.

“Yeah. I’m coming.”

I got up from my seat and joined Himesaki.

Mihama Academy is famous for its cheap and tasty cafeteria.

Many students say they decided to go to this school for this reason.

In particular, the limited menu, which appears unexpectedly, is popular among pupils.

Well, it seems like there are landmines from time to time…but that’s the charm.

Such a cafeteria is a sanctuary where only the top caste riajuus are allowed to set foot.

It’s a bit of an exaggeration to say that it’s a place I don’t usually have much to do with.

I’m more of a purchasing bread type(I don’t participate in competitions and buy leftovers at random), but today, Himesaki seems to want to eat the limited menu, so I’m going to accompany her.

“……Kyaa…!?”

“Whoa.”

As I was leaving the classroom, I almost ran into a female student who had just arrived.

“Sorry. Are you okay?”

“……Ah.. Ye-ye-ye-yes… I’m…fine…”

The girl staggered a little, hurriedly moved away from us and spoke in a surprisingly low, muffled voice.

“I see. That’s good to know.”

“……Yes…”

The girl’s hair is so long that it covers both her eyes. She seems to have little presence.

In each her hand was a cute package that looked like lunch boxes.

I don’t recognise her from this class. She’s probably come to have lunch with a friend.

When the conversation breaks off, the girl scurries and turns her head, discreetly looking around the classroom.

“……Eh… Not here…?”

But she can’t seem to find the person she’s looking for.

“Are you looking for someone, by any chance?”

“……Eh… u-um… Ye-yes…”

The girl’s eyes, faintly visible through the gap in her bangs, wandered extremely.

She’s probably a shy person.

Moreover, unlike Kohaku who used to completely refuse conversation and try to be a lone wolf, she’s the type who acts timid and uncertain.

Then maybe it’s better to stop talking to her?

But I feel it’s somewhat pitiful to leave her alone.

At any rate, I’m not getting anywhere.

I sent a gaze to Himesaki to take over when——

“……U-Um…”

The girl started speaking.

And she looked at me, not at Himesaki.

“…You are Amakawa Suzume-san…right?”

“Eh? Yea-yeah. That’s right…”

“Um… Well… I was wondering if you know where Shin-ku——Utsui-senpai went for his lunch break…”

“Utsui? You’re looking for Shin?”

“……Yes.”

I see.

This is what they call the “Shin Girl” as rumored, huh!

Apparently, people call the fans who chase after the handsome Utsui Shin by that name. I’ve been hearing about it in rumors since last year.

I want to punch that bastard at least once!

“I think Shin would be in hell. Right in a few seconds.”

“……Eeehhh…!? Tha-that’s… troubling… That’s very, very…troubling…!”

“Eh, wha, wait…!”

The almost-blindfolded girl, though as reluctant as ever, showed more determination than before.

When she stares at me with a tearful face, I felt sorry for her all at once.

“Hmm.”

Himesaki next to me tapped me on the side.

She had a rare, slightly angry face.

Even if it was about Shin, it was not good to say something that would bother girls in front of Himesaki.

I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, I can’t live with myself anymore if Himesaki abandons me, forgive me…!

“I, I’m just kidding! Haha! Just kidding!! Ahahha~!”

“Please forgive, Amakawa-kun~ Are you okay~?”

“……Hi, Hiie…”

“Ah…”

When Himesaki reached for the girl’s head, the girl looked terribly scared and avoided it.

Although the type is different, if you have the same communicable disorder as Kohaku, it’s NO GOOD to suddenly touch her.

I-I get to stroke Kohaku’s head after building a relationship of trust!

She hates it, but I don’t think she hates it that bad… Maybe…

“But that Shin… I wonder where he went…”

I’ve tried to invite Shin out to lunch many times since the start of the new school year, but I’ve never been able to catch him.

He leaves the classroom before anyone else and returns later than anyone else just before the afternoon classes start.

I never have any idea where he went.

It’s also possible that he’s refraining from disturbing me and Himesaki’s lunch time.

“Sorry. I don’t know either. I’ll ask him next time if you want——”

“…Is, is that so? Then excuse me…”

“——Ah, wait!”

Before I could finish, the girl bowed her head and left the classroom quickly.

“She’s gone~”

“Yeah…”

In the end, I didn’t even know her name.

“Ah! Ahhhhh~~~!!!”

“Whoa!? What’s wrong this time!?”

“The cafeteria! If we don’t get there soon, they’ll run out of the limited menu~!”

“Seriously, is there a fixed quantity for the limited menu!?”

“The shortcake set meal this time is limited to 30 portions~! L-Let’s go quickly, Amakawa-kun~!”

“Yea-yeah…!”

With a fluid motion, I ran towards the cafeteria, pulled by Himesaki’s hand.

However, I feel like I heard some disturbing words…

Shortcake…set meal? Ehh??

“Do you want to eat shortcake…?”

I’m pretty sure that’s a land mine menu…

10 minutes later.

“Delicious~! The strawberries are sweet~ Maybe I’ll have another bowl of rice~!”

Himesaki shows a sweet expression that embodies the feeling of having one’s cheeks fall off.

The lineup of the set meal includes Shortcake (side dish 1), Shortcake (side dish 2), white rice, miso soup, salad, and Shortcake (dessert).

Eh? …Eehhh? (Say no more)

If Himesaki is happy, that’s all that matters.

“He-heh… Good thing we made it in time, yeah?”

I looked around and nobody was eating from that menu.

I went with Katsudon. A reliable and classic choice.

“Do you want some, Amakawa-kun~?”

“N-no, thank you.”

“Don’t say that, ahhn♪”

Eh!? Ahnn!? Ahnn, you say!?

That ahnn where, if a beautiful girl gives it to you, will give you an infinite recovery buff that will heal you in an instant from any injury!?

However, on the spoon that Himesaki held out was cake and rice that was carefully placed on top.

Wha-what should I do…!?

“A-ahnn…!”

Yes, my desire won.

“Yes, ahhn♪”

Just a bit more, just a bit more until I get Himesaki’s ahnn…!

“Arghh——!? Oww!!”

Suddenly, a stabbing pain ran through my side and I turned around.

And there, my childhood friend, who is the “angel” of the school, was present (laughing).

On her left hand is a tray of school cafeteria food that looks like it has been completely eaten.

In her right hand, she holds a pair of chopsticks.

“Idiot.”

She mocked me in a low voice so that Himesaki couldn’t hear.

“Kohaku, you——”

“Nomm.”

In a split second, Kohaku bit into the spoon offered by Himesaki.

“Ah, Kohaku-chan.”

“Nom, nom, nom… Eh, what’s this, it tastes sweet… Eh…What…?”

“How is it~? Kohaku-chan, is it good~?”

“Eh? Ah, yes! Moeka-san’s ahnn is delicious!”

“I see~ That’s good~ Ehehe~”

“Ye-yes… Ah, I have to go now… See you later.”

“Yes, see you later~”

Kohaku instantly finished assessing the situation and began to withdraw from the situation.

“Hey, wait, Kohaku…”

I reached out to grab her, but it sadly fell through the air and Kohaku escaped with a cool look on her face.

Was it that bad…?

Well, she managed to keep a cool expression… There are food like rice cakes out there, too.

It’s probably because Kohaku isn’t very good at sweets.

I’ll try too!

It’s not fair that only Kohaku got Himesaki’s ahnn!

I stared at Himesaki with firm determination.

“………”

“……? What’s wrong~?”

“Eh, no, well…”

“Nnn~♪ The cake set meal is delicious~”

……Huh?

Apparently, Himesaki was satisfied with her ahnn to Kohaku.

She’s already preoccupied with her own food.

After that, Himesaki never offered an ahnn moment to me.

Whether that is fortunate or unfortunate, I don’t know now.

But for some reason, I felt that today’s katsudon was a bit too salty.
