When a suspicious voice pointed it out, Tatsumi shook his head vigorously.
“Well, let’s talk about it another time then. By the way, what do you normally do for lunch, Konno-kun?”
He was relieved when Yamanoi changed the subject.
“Uum, up until now, I would eat the lunch I bought at the convenience store at the park.”
When he asked why, the three of them got quiet.
“Um&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;?”
“I see&h.e.l.lip;..by yourself?”
“No, recently with a friend.”
“What’s your friend like?”
Since he had thought about Kusamakura earlier when they were talking about romance, he couldn’t relax.
“He’s a friend that just happens to work near by.”
In the end, he gave them that innocuous information.
“Hmmm&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;I see. So he’s a friend of yours.”
“What?”
“Actually, we called you to this lunch meeting today because we were worried about that too.”
Tatsumi tilted his head, unsure what they meant.
“Worried?”
“Whenever I see you outside, Konno-kun, you’re always with some sketchy person. Every time I go out to eat, I go by the park you’re always at. But since you can’t see, I wondered if you knew that.”
