Visitor During Lunch.
“Hey, Beret. Don’t you feel lonely eating alone? It’s no fun.”
The fourth period class was over and it was time for lunch.
Just as I took out the sandwich I had brought in the classroom, Elena, who was getting ready to head to the cafeteria, spoke sharply to me.
“…Elena. I’m not mentally strong.”
“W-wait! I didn’t say that with the intention of attacking you like that. Please don’t misunderstand me.”
“I’m sure I’m mistaken. So, what do you want to say?”
From the look of her panic, she didn’t really mean to hurt me.
“What I’m trying to say is, you don’t have to bring food with you, you know? I mean. You’ll be alone because you would have already finished by the time the others get their food.”
“That’s right, but I don’t think the situation will change even if you use the cafeteria, right?”
“Why do you forget about me …Guess It can’t be helped, fine I’ll be with you there.”
‘Hmm!’ she said while facing away.
“Ahh… then if you can eat lunch with me, that would solve the problem, Elena.”
“Wh-what…?”
I was not trying to change my own behavior, but to make the other person change her behavior.
When I looked at her, she blinked rapidly, her eyes swimming.
“Y-you are inviting me…?”
“Yes.”
“Uhmm, don’t tell me but… you aren’t taking what I said this morning too seriously, right? My father is trying to get me engaged to you.”
“No. What does that have to do with me eating lunch with you?”
“You’re not thinking about taking a step to being my life partner, right? I’m just trying to be friendly with you so I can be one insurance for you…”
Elena gave me a skeptical look that said, ‘If you have an ulterior motive, tell me now,’ but of course I didn’t think about that. No, there was no point in thinking about it.
“Well, me and you are good friends to begin with.”
“!?”
“So I don’t think about that, and I don’t take it seriously…. Wai- Am I the only one who thought we were close? If so, then I just said something really embarrassing.”
“I-I also think… that way…”
The earlier authority was gone instantly. She nodded and acknowledged me with a shrug.
Being honest in her straightforwardness, she then began her defense.
“‘To know each other better?’ Is what I meant to say… Nothing else!”
“You didn’t have to say it with such embarrassment.”
“Y-you teased me first…! I’m getting angry enough.”
“Haha, I’m sorry about that.”
I have a feeling she’s already mad at me. ……
If I had let my heart out, I would have put Elena in an even worse mood.
“Huh…. I’ll think about it for now. How about three times a week?”
“Not good enough.”
“Two times!”
“Ah.”
I shouldn’t have said that. ……
As she said earlier, it was lonely to eat alone. It was just a shame that the frequency of eating with her decreased.
It was at that moment when I was thinking about how I could somehow get back to the original number of times.
“Uh mm… I-I-I-I-I’m so s-s-oo-oo-orry for the interruption!”
“What?”
“Be-Be-Be-Beret-sama! Luna-sama wants to see you…!”
“What?”
One of my classmates spoke to me (with fear).
I looked at the doorway to the classroom and saw Luna with three books in her hands and a sleepy look on her face.
“Thanks for telling me. Sorry.”
“Ah! Yes! Ex-Ex-Ex-Excuse me!”
And then, done with me, the classmate dashed away.
I wonder what kind of rumors have reached that kid’s ears… She looked scared in an unusual way though…
I was not surprised, but I was shocked, because I just had this kind of shocking situation.
“Well, I’ll take my leave since I’m called.”
“D-don’t tell me… That Miss Luna is….”
No wonder Elena sounded so confused. Luna was famous.
She never left the library except to go in and out of school. She spent all of her free time reading.
In other words, she had never visited someone’s classroom and called someone over.
There were a few students who did not know about this and Beret was one of them.
“In the first place, is she your acquaintance!?”
“Yes. Also, don’t be so surprised. Luna is also a student here.”
I was unaware of such a thing, so I went up to her.
“It’s been since yesterday. Beret St. Ford.”
“Hello.”
Luna’s expressionless face, constant voice, and books were still with her.
“I came here today because I have business with you.”
“Oh, what is it?”
“Excuse me. Before that, may I ask you something? There is something that is bothering me.”
After saying that, Luna turned to Elena, moving only her head.
“You are close to each other, aren’t you?”
“I guess. She’s closest to me.”
“I see… Is she your best friend?”
“Uh-yes?”
I feel like there’s a thorn in her voice…
In Luna’s case, I could not get a clue from her facial expression. It ended up as ‘well, is it my imagination?’
“Is it because you have a family relationship with Elena-sama?”
“No, it’s not that. It’s because Elena is the only one who will talk to me in the classroom.”
“I don’t know what you mean. You are a kind man.”
“Don’t you remember, Luna…? Lots of bad rumors about me?”
“I… forgot.”
She admitted in a small voice and nodded.
“I remember now. I understand why so many people are looking at me now.”
“I’m sorry about that.”
“No, it’s because I’m the one who approached you.”
Luna who came out to meet the Infamous Beret during school hours.
The two of them talking in the corridor would naturally attract attention.
“So, what is it, Luna?”
“I’m here in response to your invitation.”
“…”
This time, she accepted.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think Luna-sama is going to play with you…”
“Well, to put it simply, she prefers to read rather than play.”
“As a matter of fact, she has turned down all invitations, saying, ‘There is nothing better than reading’ you know…?
“Yes. It seems that with her words and actions, especially towards boys, she shuns them, saying, ‘I don’t want to waste my time playing with you,’ …Probably because she was persistently invited to play with them no matter how many times she refused…”
I had a conversation with Shea, who had a troubled look on her face.
Just as I was beginning to prepare to change my mind, sensing that I had already been turned down, I received a stunned response.
” —Sure. Either this week or next week.”
“Ehh?”
“I said I’ll join.”
“Y-you sure!?”
“Why are you surprised? You asked me to play with you.”
“Y-Yeah, but I also heard that you, Luna, don’t accept invitations to play.”
“Wh-what do you want to say… You don’t want me to join?”
“I’m not saying that. I’m happy.”
“Then don’t mention it anymore…”
“Uh-yeah.”
She… kinda looks shy…?
But her expression and voice hadn’t changed.
It was Luna who had defenses that didn’ crumble under any usual circumstances.
“Uhmm, I have one favor to ask of you before we play.”
“What?”
“I know it’s hard for you to understand, but I’ve been spending my days off reading books, so I don’t know where to play. So I would like to leave my escort to you.”
She looked at me with her eyes a little wide and gave me a strong, geeky stare.
“Of course, I’m the one who invited you.”
“Thank you very much. Then, you should decide the date and time as well. I have nothing else to do but read.”
“Okay.”
“Well, I’m done telling you what I wanted to, so I’ll take my leave.”
Luna bowed her head and took a step backward.
“Oh, Luna. One last thing.”
“What is it?”
“What’s that book you’re holding in your arms? The book you recommended to me the other day was interesting, so I’m curious.”
“I-I won’t tell you now. Well then…”
“Ahh…”
Luna turned around and quickly walked away.
At this time, Luna was holding three books in her arms.
The book in the middle, in a position where or one could see it, was about fashion.
It was she who was planning to consult the librarian during a break after this for the day to play together.
