“Ange?”
“!”
Ange seemed to have been napping for once,
so she opened her drowsy eyes.
“It’s lunchtime. Aren’t you going to eat?”
Mutsuki smiled bitterly at the girl’s sleepy
look and handed her today’s lunchbox.
Only then did she realize their lunch break
had started.
It was midsummer and they only had two days
until summer break. Her window-side seat was not exactly comfortable with the sunlight
falling directly on it, but it was cool enough even without the air
conditioning because a typhoon was approaching.
With the sound of the rain and the chilly
wind reaching her through the opened window, it was hardly surprising she had dozed
off.
“You have some sleep in your eye.”
Mutsuki chuckled and pulled out a
handkerchief.
Without taking the handkerchief, Ange
sullenly wiped her eye with the back of her hand and turned away with a
lopsided frown on her face.
This was the usual for her, so he returned
to his seat.
“Okay, time to eat, time to eat. We’re in the
middle of the period of growth that has to support our futures, so this is
another way to enjoy our school life to its fullest.”
His childhood friend Sakae walked over with
a ton of bread in his arms.
“Let’s push our desks together~ Outta the
way, Sakae. Mutsuki-kun, over here, over here♪”
“Sure.”
“Deh heh heh heh heh. Ange-chaaan. Let’s
eat together.”
“Th-that’s fine.”
