「Here we go, Andou-kun, 『Aan』 please?」
「Come on, even Asakura-san is willing to feed the loner Andou-kun like this…… Won"t you hurry up and accept it?」
Currently, a lot of male students filled with murderous intent glared at me at the cafeteria… Cla.s.s rep pressed my back, Asakura san tried to feed me while saying 『Aan』……
How did this happen? (Andou)
ーーーーーーーーーーーSometime agoーーーーーーーーーーー
Ki~n ko-n ka ka-n ko-n♪
It"s lunch break! Now, let"s invite Andou-kun! (Asakura)
「Aa――」
「…………」*clatter！*
Alright, lunch break! Let"s go to the convenience store. (Andou)
Hey! Andou-kun is about to leave to corridor! Isn"t he moving way too fast!? Waiiiit! Andou-kun, reviens-moiiーーーーーiii!* (Asakura)
「Andou-kun, may I have your time?」
「Eh, cla.s.s rep! What"s wrong? Why are you ambushing me at the door……」
Eh, cla.s.s rep!? Why is cla.s.s rep talking to Andou-kun in the cla.s.sroom? (Asakura)
「Actually, did you know that 『cabbage roll stuffed with spring cabbage & spring cabbage soup meal set』, which uses plenty of limited-time spring cabbages, will be sold at the school cafeteria starting from today?」
「What"s with that splendid meal set with vegetarian appeal that uses only spring cabbages…… I didn"t know about that though, so?」
「Since this is a good chance, why don"t we eat at the school cafeteria together?」
「Eh！」
Heeeeeeeeeeeeee! C-Cla.s.s reeeeeeeeep! You, you"ve deceived me by saying that you don"t like Andou-kun, right! How cruel! Even though you know how much I"ve wanted to invite Andou-kun for lunch, you still s.n.a.t.c.hed that chance right in front of me…… Cla.s.s rep! You"re a Devil! Satan! Geez, super Satanachia!
Cla.s.s rep, I"ve misjudged you―――― (Asakura)
「Additionally, if you don"t mind let"s eat lunch at the cafeteria with Asakura-san too?」
「By all means, let"s go together!」
「Ha!?」
Cla.s.s rep, seriously an angel*! Thank you Cla.s.s rep-sama! I believed in you! Half of this is on behalf of cla.s.s rep"s kindness, but finally I made it through! (Asakura)
「Wait a minute, cla.s.s rep! W-why should I eat lunch together with you? There"s no reason to……」
Yes, that"s it! How many times have I been concerned about the reason to invite Andou-kun for lunch……How, what kind of reason will cla.s.s rep use to persuade Andou-kun……? (Asakura)
「Eh, do I need any reason? Then because we"re cla.s.smates, that"s enough isn"t it?」
「「Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!」」
You"re kidding….. Right? Eh, so cla.s.smates can eat lunch together without any reason? Since I"m a 『loner』, until now a "friend" is a completely alien being to me, so even if you told me that….. I won"t get it, y"know!? (Andou)
No way…… So it"s actually fine to invite people without any reason, what a blind spot. As expected of cla.s.s rep! She can calmly pull off something I couldn"t do! (Asakura)
「Eh…… You"re kidding, right? Cla.s.s rep, with that reason?」
「That"s right. Asakura-san?」
「Y-yes! That"s right! There"s no need for a reason to invite cla.s.smates for lunch. It"s something obvious, isn"t it?」
「Uh, didn"t Asakura-san also sound surprised just now……?」
「Are you sure……? Andou-kun won"t eat lunch together with us? Even though it"s a rare chance to eat with Asakura-san too?」
「Uh…… Well, I"ve always eaten outside the school…….」
「By the way, I won"t take any reason to refuse, you know? This is cla.s.s rep"s order.」
「Then, why did you ask!?」
Fufufu, somehow it"s working, I"ve managed to invite Andou-kun and Asakura-san for lunch.
I"ve noticed it! Even if I keep performing my duty for Asakura-san"s love consultations as usual, it seems unlikely for their relationship to develop any further. That means Asakura-san"s consultation will keep increasing. In that case, ideally if I help by tricking them to stick together, I"ll be relieved of this burden. Then I will earn Asakura-san"s trust and my position in cla.s.s will be firm. This plan is sure-fire ! Fufufu…… The two of you, prepare yourself for this lunch break, ok?
I did it! Finally I"ll have lunch with Andou-kun! I"m looking forward to this! What shall we talk about? (Asakura)
c.r.a.p…… Just by spending lunch break with the fairly popular cla.s.s rep I"ve been getting aggro* from our cla.s.smates, furthermore, by spending lunch break together with the most beautiful girl Asakura-san I"m getting too much aggro from the whole of male students in school that I can"t stomach it.………… (Andou)
To be continued
TL Notes:
Because me and Agni as the translator for Loner and Juliet are being busy with IRL, the translation will be much slower. Thank you for the understanding.Reviens-moi means come back to me, since Asakura-san actually said "come back" in English in the raws.As probably some people guess, it’s the same as Subaru’s from re:Zero’s “maji tenshi” moment lol. To be exact it was “Iinchou, maji tenshi!”Aggro: (Online gaming, MMORPG slang) To become aggressive towards the player’s character. In this case Andou-kun consider people around him as monster and sees him as a target lol. In the raw the word used is ‘hate’ which is a term used in Final Fantasy games as j.a.panese counterpart of the western ‘aggro’ term.
