Chapter 6
My Entire Cla.s.s Was Summoned to Another World Except for Me Chapter 06: Seriously, that was a Flag!
Edited by JFantasyBooks
The morning of the third day since school began .
I was eating toast and coffee for breakfast, the TV on in front of me .
“This morning, we received information of an international terrorist organization that was able to infiltrate and hide within j.a.pan-“
The audio came in and out as I listened, trying to fight against the sleep that threatened to take me .
“Disturbing news… Be careful, Yato,” my mother warned; her expression was filled with unease .
“Hn…” I grunted by reflex, not really taking full note of her words . I was practically half asleep, and so, paid more attention to sipping my coffee .
A terrorist organization lurking in j.a.pan didn’t mean that I would encounter them, anyway . There was no need to be worried .
“Well then, I’m off . ”
“I’m off too . ”
“Be careful, you two!”
Leaving my mother behind, Karen and I headed to our respective schools .
With a cup of coffee and the dazzling sunlight, that onset of sleep that plagued me had waned, and I could finally think properly .
It was then that I began to think more about this terrorist organization .
Terrorists… . If this was a light novel, then they should be attacking our school… but that’s not gonna happen in reality, I guess .
There no way such an unrealistic event would . Out of countless thousands of schools, the chance for ours to be picked up was considerably low .
“I’m going this way . ” Karen said, bringing me from my thoughts .
“Hm? Ah, I see . later then . ”
I guess it’s pointless to think about it too much .
And with that thought, I continued onward to school .
ーーーーーーーーーーーーー
I entered my cla.s.sroom to find out that at least half of the students were gossipping .
Everyone have already made or joined a group so so no one among them bothered to speak with me .
“Ah, Kamiya-kun, good morning . ”
“Good morning, Kamaishi-san . ”
Right when I took my seat, Kamaishi who was sitting in front of me, turned her back and offered a greeting .
She was the only one in this cla.s.s who spoke to me .
I wonder if she’s made friends already .
“Kamiya-kun, did you hear today’s news?”
“Yeah, about the terrorist organization, right?”
“Mhm . They are already in j.a.pan . I wonder where are they hiding . ”
“Who knows? They might be right by your side, for all you know . ”
“Eh? S-Stop saying scary things!”
I chuckled seeing Kamaishi jump like that, and adding to that, her face showing such embarra.s.sment .
“Um, Hey, Yato, if it’s okay, can we eat lunch together today too?”
“Hm? Lunch… Sure thing . ”
“Yeah, of course, you wouldn’t… n? Wait . Yeah!?”
Kamaishi jumped completely out of her seat and ran up to me . She looked into my eyes, and I could feel her breath upon my skin… . Too close .
“Y-Yeah, sure . ”
“I-I’m relieved . I made too for just me to eat, so I panicked when I thought you may have refused . ”
So that’s why she invited me . I’m grateful to have another chance to taste her lunch box, though, at the same time, a question leaped in my mind .
“Kamaishi, do you have friends?”
“Eh?”
“No, I thought that if you had some friends it would be better if you asked them instead of me, you see . ”
“Hee… a… Th-That’s because… um～I… I still don’t have any friend…”
“That’s, pretty unfortunate . ”
I could tell I just stepped on a landmine asking her that . Her voice gradually thinned when she replied . Her expression has also turned downcast . I feel kinda bad for asking that . Although she should make an effort to make friends, it wasn’t my place to inquire .
And then the bell rang . It was time to start our lessons, giving an end to this awkward moment .
As a matter of course, I slept the entire time . There were some moments when the teacher woke me up, but I instantly make him step off with a perfect answer or two . And like that, noon came .
As the fourth bell tolled, I was roused from my sleep, giving a heafty yawn .
“I’m impressed that you can sleep this much . Do you sleep at night?”
Seemingly getting all accustomed to my behaviors, Kamaishi didn’t scold me for sleeping .
“of course I sleep at night, though it’s not sufficient . ”
“I wonder why your body requires this much sleep . ”
“Honestly, I don’t even know myself . No matter how much I sleep, I seem to shake it . I wonder why .
“Anyway, lets’s move quickly; we don’t have much time . ”
“R-Right . Wait for me . ”
Kamaishi hastily followed after me as I headed to the roof . And like that, it was the start of lunch .
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
We arrived at the roof and sat on the same bench as of yesterday . Kamaishi took out one of the two lunch boxes she made from her bag .
“Here, Kamiya-kun . ”
“Thanks, Kamaishi-san . ”
Without further ado, I opened the box to find a wonderful home made lunch inside . The main dish was croquettes and tamagoyaki, as for the side ones, wieners, cherry tomatoes and potato salad . All of them looked incredibly appetizing . To top it off, the rice wasn’t just plainly made, but was cooked with everything else . It really brought out my appet.i.te .
“This looks great,” I said .
“Hehe, I ended up making too much because I was chalk full of spirit at the time . ”
“Full of spirit? Did something good happen?”
“Eh? Unn, don’t worry about that . C’mon now, eat some before it’s too late . ”
“Well then, let’s dig in . ”
Taking a pair of chopsticks, I picked and carried a good amount of cooked rice to my mouth . .
“How is it?”
“Mhm mhm…… Hm, it’s delicious as expected . ”
“Really!? That’s a relief . ” Kamaishi sighed, clutching her chest slightly, showing an eased expression .
It was truly good . Given my pallet and having tasted my mother’s cooking for years, it wouldn’t be hard for me to guarantee it . She doesn’t need to be nervous to this point .
In the end, I emptied Kamaishi’s lunch box .
“Thanks for the meal, Kamaishi . It was delicious,” I said as I licked my lips
“Fufu, Glad to hear it”
As I gave her back the empty box, Kamaishi looked happy .
Okay now, Let’s onto the next one . This time, I took out my lunch box .
“Wait… are you still going to eat ?”
“Yeah, I shouldn’t leave it untouched . ”
Actually, I was already full, but I just couldn’t leave this one untouched . My mother was quite strict when it came to diets . What would she think when she noticed I didn’t eat it?
She was a cuisine researcher, after all . That means her cooking is professional and delicious, however, despite all, she’s the type who was terribly severe about leaving something on your plate .
My mother wasn’t the kind to get angry, but once she does, she was simply…frightening .
I still remember when I had once left some food on my plate . Yeah…I was traumatized in the end .
That’s why I should not leave this lunch box as it is . Else, there will be no tomorrow for me .
“Did I perhaps do something unnecessary? . ”
“No, don’t worry about it . It was my choice in the first place . ”
With that last word, I began eating once again . It’s pretty delicious . Though, no matter how tasty it gets, it can not change the fact that I’m full . My stomach doesn’t accept it resulting in my hand that was holding the chopsticks to halt .
“Is it fine if I eat it with you?”
Kamaishi offered me help .
“Are you okay with that?”
“Yes, it’s my fault, to begin with . besides, I want to try your mom’s cooking again . ”
Honestly, her offer is appreciated . I guess it was impossible for me to finish it alone, after all .
“Well, then please . ”
“Yes, leave it to me . ”
“here, take a bite . ”
I grabbed one of the side dishes using my chopsticks and carried it to Kamaishi’s mouth .
“Eh? I-Isn’t that…”
Maybe because she understood something, Kamaishi stopped her moves and switched her sight between me and the chopstick while looking all shy .
Don’t tell me, did she realize that this would be an indirect kiss? Even though she didn’t notice anything yesterday, why now? How troublesome; I guess I will press her to eat it .
“What’s wrong? C’mon, hurry up . ”
“Eh, Aa, yeah . ”
Kamaishi resolved her feelings and opened her mouth while her face was bright red .
Good, let’s continue this way .
“Here, another one . ”
“Y-Yes .
Kamaishi, with a red face, kept acting blind to that fact as she resumed eating my lunch .
I was somehow able to eat some of it as well until we finished the whole box . When I was eating from it, Kamaishi looked like she wanted to say something, but instead remained silent as her face turned even more red . Of couse, I turned a blind eye to that .
As I was taking a long breath after finishing lunch, Kamaishi who was sitting next to me was feeling exceedingly embarra.s.sed .
“Uuu, who thought we would be doing it today too……”
“Well, I think that it is indeed embarra.s.sing to do something like that . ”
“Of course it is…… wait, Kamiya-kun, you knew about it?”
“Well, I mean…”
Rather, there’s no way I wouldn’t know about such an obvious thing .
“Since you didn’t realize it yesterday, I thought it would be fine to do it today too, but apparently, my judgment was poor . ”
“Anyone would realize it normally!”
“You didn’t yesterday . ”
“Th-That’s because… uuu, you bully . ”
Kamaishi almost dropped in tears from the embarra.s.sment . She seemed pretty cute, however, I didn’t want to ruin the mood by saying so .
It was when I turned from her, that my eye caught something . Turning, I noticed several black cars enter from the school entrance .
“What’s that?”
“What’s wrong?”
Hearing my mutter, Kamaishi followed my gaze to turn and look at the same direction .
An armed group wearing masks left from the cars and rushed inside the school building .
Their movements were fast and agilem resembling that of a well-trained soldier .
Wait, wait, don’t tell meーーーー
PAAM!!
KYAAH!!
Just when I started having a bad feeling about the current state, I heard a gunshot and shriek coming from below .
Following the gunshot, I could also hear something similar to an angry voice as well .
I recalled the morning news .
You gotta be kidding me… terrorists?
Discerning the situation, I blamed the thoughts that I had while heading to school .
Seriously, my words were a flag!
