When I, a streamer with some more than 10 registered subscribers, announced my retirement with a face-reveal; as all my viewers were the Madonnas of the school, I ended up losing my current place at school all in all. - 18_ A gorgeous girl in shadows

Lunch break.

For me, it’s a blissful time.

After all, I can be all alone during the lunch break!

After all, I can never get to be alone during class.

Sometimes I am even forced to do group activities, turning it into a hell for me at times.

Yes, that’s exactly why! the time of the lunch break, when I can be get to be all alone, for an introvert like me, is akin to be in heaven actually.

And without further ado, I immediately left the classroom with my phone and lunch box in my hand.

Eh, Why did I leave you ask?

That goes without even saying. It’s because I feel very empty in heart when I’m all alone in the classroom eating lunch during lunch break.

The place where I am heading is the spot that has been popular in Light novels for an introvert taking lunch, the rooftop … unless it’s actually the spot under the stairway of our school building.

If I could go to the rooftop, I would without a doubt, but I can’t no matter what.

In a Light novel, there are scenes where the main character, who is always a gloomy and inattentive character, goes to the rooftop to eat his lunch alone during lunch break or after school.

Then, by complete coincidence, there is this sudden event with the madonna of the school, who usually never visit’s there, happens to have come there, and then the situation develops into a romantic comedy….

But for this all-real world, such a development is just impossible to have been prepared for.

Actually, I have been to the rooftop, but only once in the past, because, the moment I saw the scene up there, I decided to never set foot in there ever again.

The sight I saw in that rooftop was the sight of Riajuus having completely dominated that place.

Some were kissing, while some were treating each other food saying ‘aa~ahn’ from their bento boxes, and some were even getting a little too naughty.

No wonder, it would make me not want to go there.

With that, I arrived under of the staircase, which was almost always occupied solely by myself.

The place beneath this stairway is almost never visited by anyone.

Therefore, the first time when I discovered this place, I still remember that pleasant memory where it was so dirty and that I had to spend a lot of effort to clean it up.

I’ve been supported by this place for about a year now, and I still don’t remember even a single person ever having coming to this place here. It was safe place to that degree.

Okay then, now, Let’s sit on this chair that I brought from an empty classroom and eat my lunch as usual.

Here we go~.

Fuu~. I feel so calm and comfortable in here.

After all, this place is heaven for me. It’s the only place in school where I can relax.

I put my hand on the lunch box that my mother made.

This bento, that has always been made by my mother, and as she even works as a chef in a high-class restaurant, it tastes damn good.

I wonder what side-dish she has for me today.

Teke teke teke teke teke…ten!

Wow, it’s roast beefuu!

Wow, looks so appetizing. Makes my stomach tingle in delight.

Well then, ittadakimasu.

“Fu~n fufu~nn…”

Suddenly, a shadow of a person appeared in front of me.

“Eh?”

Eh, eh, who? The person who would have known and come to a place like this should have been only me.

And moreover, the person who came in was a girl wearing a school uniform.

She was wearing a red ribbon, which meant she was in the same grade as me.

“Nn? Eh, Who are you?”

No, that’s something I’d like to ask.

I mean, who the hell are you to come into my territory without permission?

“Tha– that should have been my question I think.”

“Me? I’m Kageno… no, it’s better that I don’t introduce myself.”

When I took a closer look at her, she was extremely well-dressed.

Her beautiful, shiny, black hair reaches down to her waist, and she looks absolutely gorgeous. Or something like that.

“Nnm, but if you want me to tell you my name, I will tell you after you introduce yourself. Since you are probably of the same race as I am.”

“Etto,… I’m Uminagi Hiroto desu.”

“?!”

The woman who introduced herself with only ‘Kageno’ had her shoulders tremble greatly.

“Sorry, can you say your name once again?”

“I’m Uminagi Hiroto desu.”

“I understand. I think I can get along with you fine. Right, do you have your smartphone with you?”

“I —- I do, though.”

“Then let’s exchange our contact information. This must also be some kind of fate.

Eh? The development is so sudden that I can’t keep up with it at all though?!

I, right now I am being asked to exchange my contact information with her?

After Shizuhara-san, now this person as well? Am perhaps in a dream?

By such a gorgeous person….

This must definitely be a dream.

If it’s a dream, I have no choice but to go along with it until the end.

“I, I don’t mind. But what’s your name?”

“Ah, that’s correct. I am Kageno Otoha, class 5, year 2. My dream is to become a powerful person who works in the shadows. That is exactly why I am walking around in the shadows like this everyday during the lunch time! I would like you to remember this, and Hiroto and I are friends from today onwards. I’m a friend to you from this day on. However, I have to warn you about one thing. You must not have romantic feelings for me. The reason is, because I have to marry the person who is my admiration that’s why.”

O, —oh….

A —A powerful person in the shadows, heh.

This person, could this person be perhaps a Chuunibyou? That who is said to be very rare among girls, that Chuunibyou?

And saying that ‘I should not develop romantic feelings for you.’

Don’t worry, Kageno-san,

With this statement itself, it went down to Zero.

And with that, she and I finished exchanging contact information.

“My favorite color is ‘BLACK’ got it!”

No besides, I DIDN’T EVEN ASK FOR THAT!
