After a bit of a fuss with the principal.
I finally thought I could have a leisurely lunch... but then I realized that it was here.
"Hime...? By the way, where is my lunch?"
Apparently, she even prepared one for me.
However, when I thought about it carefully, I realized that she had been empty-handed the whole time and hadn't brought anything that looked like a lunch box.
I was so engrossed in chatting with Hime that I had completely forgotten about the bento until this very moment.
So where is it located?
"I think he'll be here soon."
"You're coming... Did you order delivery to school?"
"Delivery—that's certainly an attractive idea. I might try it sometime, but not today. I'm talking about someone bringing me lunch."
Oh, someone's coming.
Someone who brings Hime's lunch, huh... Simply put, it seems like she's the only one who could do it.
Hime's family is at this school.
This is my older sister, Hoshimiya Hijiri.
"--!"
Since I'm good friends with Hime, I knew we'd meet somewhere someday.
But I never expected it to happen at this timing, so I wasn't mentally prepared.
What kind of face should I make?
Because that's what Hime said yesterday.
"Please marry my sister!"
Of course, I don't take it seriously.
But if her sister Hoshimiya knew what Hime had said... she was a little afraid to meet her.
What is Hoshimiya-san thinking?
I can only hope that Hime hasn't told him about it. If it's just our first meeting, I should be able to get away with it somehow...!
With that thought in mind, the time finally came.
『Click!』
Suddenly, the door opens.
A beautiful female student with black hair came in without knocking.
"Knock knock! Sorry Hime-chan. I had to go to the bathroom and I'm a little late."
The girl carrying the bag was undoubtedly Hoshimiya Hijiri.
We were in different classes, so I had never spoken to her. But I knew her face...that's how famous she was.
After all, Hoshimiya-san is a beautiful person.
She has a different kind of cuteness to Hime, a more mature charm... Anyway, her outstanding looks make her very popular with boys.
"...Yohei-kun, I'm sorry. My sister has a habit of knocking with her mouth."
"No, that's fine, but...erm, um..."
Anyway, let me introduce myself first!
I was excited and was about to introduce myself, but before I could say anything, Hoshimiya-san took the initiative.
"Oh. Oh, by the way, there's a boy here today... Oh, don't say bathroom! He went to pick some flowers. Sorry."
...This guy is really laid back.
I was taken by surprise, or perhaps it was a bit of a letdown... Anyway, I was definitely put off.
"I told you this morning that Youhei would be here today... were you too sleepy to hear?"
"I, I was listening. Big sister is a reliable person... I see. I see, so that's why there was an extra bento today."
"...Yohei-kun, I'm sorry. This is my older sister. She may be a little flawed, but she's beautiful, so please forgive her."
"I don't think that just because she looks pretty is a reason to forgive her... well, it's fine."
Maybe a little?
Perhaps because of her beautiful appearance, I had the impression that she was a reliable person, but... perhaps Hoshimiya-san is even more gentle than I imagined.
