Rin is sweet to Towa, for the others, salty
“……Kenichi, Tokiwagi-kun. I’m off.”
The classroom begins to buzz with the arrival of Fuji-san in the classroom.
The effect of this is apparently causing confusion in the neighboring classes as well, and you can hear the murmurs.
However, it is not only the buzz caused by Fuji-san’s arrival.
It is the fact that Rin, standing behind her, is smiling and holding two lunch boxes and waving her hands toward us, which is the cause of the buzz.
It is so gorgeous and eye-catching that it gives the illusion that only there are flowers fluttering in the air.
The sight was so gorgeous and eye-catching that one could be forgiven for thinking that it was a “real”.
Such a figure was there.
When our eyes meet, she blushes with happiness …….
It stands out even more, doesn’t it?
“Haha! I’m not sure how much time we have left to study now. This is no time to study, right, Towa?”
“I guess so…….”
I put away my study gear and packed my bag.
Then I said, “Well, Kenichi, let’s go.” and Kenichi looked at me with a puzzled look on his face.
“What is it? You’re not coming?”
“I’m going, but ……. you’ve become more obedient at school.”
“I’ve always been obedient.”
Leaving Kenichi smiling bitterly, I go out into the hallway.
As I went out into the hallway, I noticed that students were coming out of the entrances to the classrooms like whack-a-mole, observing us.
I guess they want to confirm the truth of the rumors.
All I could do was sigh as I was subjected to so many stares.
But Rin didn’t seem to mind.
As soon as she saw me in the hallway, she came close to me and hugged me, squeezing my arm against her abundant twin dunes.
The tremendous destructive force made my pulse quicken with a thud.
“Towa-kun, let’s get going! Today’s bento is something I’m very proud of, and it’s called “Tempura Gozen”.”
“Gozen is ……. Ah, so that’s why it’s so big.”
“Well, it’s the first day of the second semester. I was really fired up. In my bag, I have prepared some salt and some tempura sauce.”
“Aren’t you too prepared?”
“No, it’s only natural. By the way, I also brought a thermos bottle for the soup that Towa-kun likes, so it can be served warm anytime!”
“Isn’t that beyond the scope of a bento?”
“Fufu. I’m just elaborating a little bit.”
As if demanding praise, Rin moved her head closer to me.
At that moment, I felt the people around me getting very aggressive.
Rin, perhaps concerned about this, stood back up with a clean posture.
She then apologetically lowered her eyes.
“Towa-kun, I’m sorry. This is school, and I didn’t want to do this kind of thing…….”
“No, well, I feel like it’s a little late for that. I mean, is Rin okay?”
“When you ask me if I’m okay, you mean ……? I’m fine as usual.”
“I see. I hope so.”
I put my hand on Rin’s head and stroke it once.
Then Rin’s expression changed to a smile, as if a flower had bloomed.
She snuggled into my arm and made a cute “Ehehe~” sound.
I can’t …… help it.
It’s really …….
I feel a lot of stares from people around me, but Rin, who has the immunity, seems to have decided not to care anymore.
“Wakamiya, I think you’ve upped your strength since the summer.”
“…… Rin is the strongest now. There’s no one to stop her.”
“Well, it sure feels different here, doesn’t it?”
“…It’s not fair.”
Inspired by Rin, Fuji-san grabs a bit of Kenichi’s shirt.
She is probably embarrassed and somewhat reserved.
Kenichi, noticing this, took hold of Fuji-san’s shoulders and pulled her close to him.
Then he ruffled her head a little violently and laughed with his usual fresh, handsome face.
“Then let’s go. It’ll be fun, like a double date at school.”
“Only we’re just going to have lunch, though.”
“Ha-ha-ha. Don’t say that~”
The four of us walk side by side.
The scene is two beautiful girls, one handsome guy, and one mob.
It was inevitable that people would look at me strangely.
As for me, I was prepared for it and I would go in with an open mind, but Rin is the problem.
Whenever someone comes close to me with a grinning, malicious look on their face, she makes a threatening sound as if to say, “Do not disturb us.”.
I chuckled at the same old Rin.
In the midst of all this, there was a guy who naturally interrupted us…
“Wakamiya-san! May I have a word of your time?”
“No, not at all.”
However, Rin turned down the person who spoke to her in a second.
The person who spoke to her and his friends stood there stunned, as if time had stopped.
The pattern, if I were to use a template, would be that someone would show up to tangle with us in a situation like this…….
I feel like crushing the seeds of this pattern every time.
“Wakamiya-san with me…”
“I decline.”
“Don’t be with Tokiwagi…”
“I don’t want to be with you.”
It’s roughly like this.
My antagonists pop up like mass-produced characters.
Rin handles them all…….
I’ve never seen this before.
No, I just don’t know if …… that’s the Rin at school.
She is bland, plain and salty.
I thought she’d be a bit more friendly…….
I guess not.
She’s always smiling, which is Rin’s way of getting around in the world.
But in this case, it’s about me, so she’s angry and letting it slide.
That makes me feel even worse.
Maybe I had a complicated expression on my face, but Rin looked at me and poked me lightly on the cheek.
“Is something wrong, Towa-kun?”
“No, I was just thinking that Rin is a person too……”
“Mmmm. The way you say it, it sounds like there’s something wrong with me…….”
“No, I’m not. Well, that …… thanks for everything.”
Rin smiled at me without saying a word and squeezed my arm even tighter.
Kenichi and Fuji-san looked at us warmly, and I couldn’t help but laugh.
