"This is for you, Yusuke." She pushed one of them over.

"...Thank you." Yusuke Kato whispered his thanks and reached out to take the chopsticks.

Open the lid and there is curry pork chop rice inside.

On the other hand, the girl's place only had curry and rice, but no fried pork cutlet.

Upon discovering this difference, his movements stagnated slightly, then returned to normal.

As if he knew his doubts, the other party took the initiative to speak.

"Hmm~ I think boys would prefer this kind of filling food, right? But it's a bit hard for girls to tolerate."

Hui said casually, with a calm expression on his face.

Kato Yusuke nodded and started eating with chopsticks.

First, I had a piece of fried pork cutlet cut into strips. The golden outer layer was drizzled with thick dark brown curry, and the appetizing aroma of spices wafted through it.

Then bring it to your mouth.

——Crack.

The golden skin makes a crisp sound when you bite it with your teeth, and the crust coated with bread crumbs has a crispy texture.

As soon as you bite into it, the pork is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Juice immediately overflows. It is extremely tender and has a rich aroma of oil, which forms a wonderful combination with the crispiness of the dough.

Click, creak.

After chewing a little, the moderately salty curry just neutralizes the greasiness in your mouth and wraps your mouth with a gentle flavor.

Then swallow it, the full amount of calories makes your stomach feel satisfied instinctively.

He lowered his head and looked at the gap in the fried pork cutlet.

Dark brown, golden, white and tender.

In a rich combination, the pork tenderloin inside is slightly juicy.

The dough seems to use two kinds of bread crumbs. You can see two kinds of particles, one thick and one thin, which makes the texture crisper.

"Well, how about it?"

"tasty."

"Hmm~~That's good."

A faint smile bloomed on Hui's face, and she also moved her chopsticks.

"Hey, let me say... Yusuke?"

She seemed to have thought of something and said: "I have thought about it, because you seem to be completely unable to take care of yourself, so I will go to your place to help after school recently."

Kato Yusuke frowned slightly, "...you don't have to go home?"

"Hey~~ Well, of course I have to go back in the evening, but I can go back after dinner."

"..."

"Ah, if this bothers you or troubles you, forget it."

"...It's not like that either."

"Hmm~ So it's no problem?"

no problem?

It seems there is, but it seems there isn't.

Kato Yusuke ate his bento silently, and he couldn't explain clearly.

He looked up at the girl and thought to himself.

The other party also looked back at him calmly.

The long eyelashes sway slightly, clinging to a pair of quiet and beautiful eyes, like grass growing on the banks of two clear waters.

Suddenly...

"Wait a moment."

Hui gently stretched out a hand towards him, touched the left half of his cheek near the corner of his mouth with her fingertips, and then withdrew her hand again.

"Sticking rice."

She said calmly, brought the rice on her fingertips to her mouth, and ate it.

Kato Yusuke moved his lips, but felt that the cold and soft touch was still vaguely on his face, like a stone falling into a windless lake, causing ripples.

"So, how about it? Does Yusuke think it's okay?"

A brief silence.

"……good."

"Hmm~ Then I'll excuse you for a while."

After such a short interlude, the two returned to the topic.

"Speaking of it, Yusuke?"

"Um."

"As for Friday's sports meeting, I'm just looking at the arrangements. Do you want to see the specific timetable?"

"good."

"Then wait a minute, I'll take it out...here, give it."

"Thanks."

Kato Yusuke reached out and took the form, which listed the detailed arrangements for the day of the sports meeting.

◇

【8:50】Admission procession (all members)

【9:00】Opening ceremony (all members)

【9:10】Preparation for exercise (all members)

【9:30】Throwing ball game (first-year students)

(A game in which a ball is thrown into a basket at a fixed location)

…

Thorough, detailed, meticulous.

After reading it, Kato Yusuke thought about it and returned the form.

"...What else is left to prepare?"

"Basically no more. People from the News and Broadcasting Department are responsible for hosting, and there are also dedicated students who are responsible for preparing the props for the sports games..."

Hui thought for a while and said: "What we are talking about is basically ensuring that the sports meeting can be held smoothly and hoping that it won't rain that day~"

"so……"

Yusuke didn't say much more about this. The other party did a good job. It seemed that all he needed to do was be a mascot and participate in the competition.

The two of them were eating and chatting when they didn't realize that a figure suddenly appeared at the back door of the classroom.

Until an urgent voice blasted in my ears...

"Kato~~~~~~~~~~!!!"

An Yilun appeared out of nowhere and stood beside the table, raised his hand and put his shoulder on his shoulder, and started yelling without caring about the occasion.

"—I heard it from Kasumigaoka-senpai! What on earth is going on when she said you don't play games anymore? Is this a joke! Absolutely—it's a joke, right!?"

"...Ah, it's An Yi-san." Hui whispered. Although she was startled by his sudden shouting, she still greeted her politely.

"Oh, hello, Ghana... Wow! It hurts, hurts, hurts! My hand is going to break! It's going to break!"

An Yilun also let out a scream of pain, while Yusuke let go of the hand holding his wrist with an expressionless expression.

"...I'm sorry, I have an instinctive reaction to people suddenly appearing from blind corners."

"Are you Brother Geer?! And Brother Geer will only take action accidentally. Don't take action casually after you react!"

An Yilun also exaggeratedly covered his pinched right wrist with his left hand. First he complained with a look of resentment, and then hurriedly asked.

"Forget it, let's put this aside for now. What's going on with our game plan?"

As he spoke, he pulled up a chair and sat down, turning a blind eye to the unfinished lunches placed on the table by the two of them.

Kato Yusuke frowned and replied: "...I encountered some situations here, and I don't have the budget to do that at the moment."

"So you gave up playing games, right?" An Yilun also asked, and after seeing him nodding, he felt relieved and let out a long sigh of relief.

Then he started complaining again.

"So that's it. You should have said something like that earlier. I was so worried that I didn't even have the mood to discuss the game with Hiyan, so I ran over immediately."
