*Sigh*

I don't wanna go to school...

Why do they have all these stupid attendance rules...?

*Sigh*

But I guess I should go since I have work today.

Grr... An's busy with committee stuff for all of lunch... After getting myself to come to school too...

Alright, in that case...!

Aha, found him!

Li'l Bro!

Hm...? Akiyama. What's up?

An's busy with committee stuff, so I decided to go look for someone else to have lunch with...

Wait, Li'l Bro, why are you having bread in class? Where's Toya?

He's also busy with committee stuff.

Also, I was hoping to scarf down my lunch and take a nap. So, if you don't mind, scram will you?

What?! You meanie!

We're supposed to be lonely buddies.

Actually, I just remembered something...♪

Mafuyu stayed over at your place the other day, right? I bet you were pretty surprised to see her.

Yeah, her...

It was pretty rare for Ena to bring a friend over. The last time she did was when Momoi visited.

I guess you know all this already, huh?

Yup. Including the part about you two trying to lovingly feed each other carrots.

Geez...

In my defense, she instigated by putting one on my plate first.

She knows that I hate them, which makes her the bad guy, right?

Haha! That's totally something she'd do!

Also, I didn't know that you get served the things you don't like.

Sometimes. Does your family do things differently?

Yeah. I really don't like mushrooms, so my mom usually makes sure there aren't any on my plate.

Seriously...? We're not allowed to be picky at our house.

To be fair, Mom usually flavors things in a way that makes them easier to eat.

Hey, that's pretty clever of her!

Your mom is so nice.

She is...

But the glazed carrots she made to other day were too sweet.

I thought you liked sweet stuff.

That's not the problem.

Haha.

Ah, Akiyama, there you are.

We need to talk about your supplementary classes!

Aww... But I still haven't had lunch yet.

It just so happens that I have yet to as well because I had to look for a certain someone. Anyway, you're coming with me...

Oh man...

Just go already...

Here, take this sandwich.

What?! I can have this?!

You haven't had lunch yet, right?

I can just go buy more, so you can have it.

L-Li'l Bro!!

I promise to take your side the next time Ena tries to do something mean to you!

Thanks, I guess.

Akiyama!

C-Coming!

Thanks for the sandwich, Li'l Bro!

I'll savor every bite!

You're welcome.
