In the tense situation, Shota Komori was sandwiched between Shizuku Natsukawa and Mayuka Takamine.
(I can’t believe they’re making me eat lunch in this atmosphere. To be honest, I can’t even eat because my stomach’s shrinking–)
–Clack.
Mayuka Takamine opened her bento box and a heart mark was drawn on the rice.
(WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Wait… Mayu-nee!? What a thing to show! I’m happy though! I’m very happy! But even if we were a fake couple, this is right in front of–)
–Puck.
(Ahh!! Natsukawa-san’s chopsticks! They’re brokeeeeen!! What’s more, she clicked her tongue!? What? Why is this like a war between ex-girlfriend and current-girlfriend!? How did this happen!? When did this happen!?)
“Let’s start with the egg rolls, okay Sho-chan? Here, ahhn.”
(So this is h**l, huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!??)
Looking from the side, it was definitely an enviable situation.
However, none of the boys were jealous.
What they wanted was to be unconditionally popular. They had no desire to be caught in the middle of a pressure cooker with no appetite.
“Um… Mayu-nee? I can at least eat my own side dishes.”
“Here, ahhn.”
(Your eyes seem fixed!? Why!? But anyway, I can’t help but feel like I should open my mouth!)
Shota Komori was reluctant to say ‘ahhn’ in front of his classmates.
At any rate, Shizuku Natsukawa was right beside him. The silent pressure was simply terrifying.
However, Mayuka Takamine didn’t seem to be willing to back down either.
“Ahhn (Just do it!)”
(This is bad! I’ve got to do this!)
His voice was two tones lower than usual, but he made up his mind.
“Aghh!”
A voice leaked out from Natsukawa, as her beloved opposite s*x had been fed to by another woman.
Mayuka Takamine watched the scene unfold and pursued him further.
“Delicious?”
“It’s…good. Yes.”
Shota Komori answered shyly.
Shizuku Natsukawa, feeling threatened by the situation, hurriedly entered the fray.
“How about some of my egg rolls?”
“Um…”
Komori couldn’t read Shizuku Natsukawa’s intentions.
He wracked his missing brain in confusion.
(A bento for me, a servant…? HAH! So that’s what this is! You want me to taste it before you give it to your boyfriend!? Well, if that’s what you mean–)
“–If you want to check for poison, leave it to me!”
( ( ( (Check for poison!!?) ) ) )
After being a servant, the next step was to be poisoned. The students’ hearts leapt at the disturbing sound.
( ( ( (What is Komori being made to do? What has she been making you do!?) ) ) )
There was no longer any feeling of jealousy between them. There was only pity. (T/N: As they should. Poor MC…)
(Wh-What do you mean by check for poison!? That makes it sound like I have another man to feed!)
(Hmm? Check for poison he said? Why would he use that word in this situation…? Oh, I see. I think Komori believes that Natsukawa has a man. It’s not good for me to have that misunderstanding cleared up. Natsukawa probably feels uncomfortable with his choice of words too. I must do whatever I can to cover this up.)
“Wh-What do you mean, check for poison–“
“–Nee~, Sho-chan. How about an octopus sausage next?”
“Huh!?”
Mayuka Takamine pushed with, “Ahhn,” to distract Natsukawa.
Natsukawa became impatient.
The words that came out of her mouth were,
“Taste this first!”
( ( ( (KOMORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!) ) ) )
The classmates had the same wish.
Komori. Please be okay.
“O-Okay. I got it, Natsukawa-san.”
Komori had no choice but to obey because she was so determined.
When Natsukawa, who was supposed to have a boyfriend, gave him a big “ahhn,” he was confused but took a bite of the egg roll.
“H-How do you like it?”
Natsukawa was moved by the long-awaited ‘ahhn,’ but her nerves got the better of her until she asked him what he thought of the taste.
After tasting the food properly, Komori swallowed it with a gulp, and evaluated it as follows,
“D-Delicious…!”
(Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! What’s this? I feel like I’m going to cry already. I feel like I’m in heaven just because he said it’s delicious. I see. So this is love. You must be an idiot if you have it.)
Shizuku Natsukawa smiled as if a daifuku had melted in her mouth. (T/N: daifuku is some kind of mochi filled with something sweet.)
She was so happy that she was drooling.
When she acted and behaved in a way that didn’t seem like the “Ice Princess,” Shota Komori became concerned and,
“Um, Natsukawa…san? You’re drooli–“
“I didn’t make this for you, Komori-kun!”
( ( ( (What a blatant tsundereeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!) ) ) )
“Th-That’s of course, right? It’s. Not. For. Me. Aha, hahaha…”
This bento was not made for Shota Komori. He had no doubt in his mind that Natsukawa had a boyfriend, and he let out a dry laugh.
If there was any mistake on Shizuku Natsukawa’s part, it was here.
(T-This is bad. I can’t help but grin. I can’t look at Shota-kun directly with my normal face like this!)
She was so happy that she had lost her mind.
If she had been in a normal state of mind, she would have been able to think about Shota Komori’s strange behavior.
However, there was no way that Natsukawa, who was in a state of euphoria, would have had time to recognize it.
(Oioioi… Komori’s pouting, and she’s just letting it go and being happy about it. I thought it was possible, but she’s a real piece of work when it comes to love. Whatever. This is more convenient for me.)
“Ahh, but for me, it was nice to be able to enjoy both flavors. Mayu-nee’s was sweet and Natsukawa-san’s was salty. It’s hard to pick a favorite.”
“”Eh!?””
Shota Komori’s impressions, which he said casually, are commonly referred to as–
“”Which seasoning do you prefer?””
–an unnecessary comment.
(Oh no! I stepped on a landmine!!)
