Ma~a, there’s no need to anxiously consider it, Hajime renewed his thoughts as he continued eating his meal. Yue and them didn’t particularly mind either.
But, it doesn’t appear that his classmates thought the same, some people thought it was rather interesting, some people felt slightly awkward, and some people were lost as to what to do and became restless. Although they frequently glanced over, they were reminded of Hajime’s previous statement that he didn’t see them as companions and much less held much interest in it, so they were hesitant to call out to him. By the way, Aiko was staring at Hajime for a different kind of reason.
[Ah~, Shizuku-chan! Over here!]
[Kaori. Can I sit next to you?]
[Of course]
Kaori was showing a friendly smile with Nointo’s cool face, Shizuku also naturally loosened her cheeks as she sat next to her.
At first It was still hard for the classmates to accept the fact that Kaori had changed her body but, the atmosphere of Kaori’s image and smile allowed them to loosen up. Even if her body has changed, Kaori’s peaceful atmosphere allowed her classmates hearts to relax. Or rather, when compared to the time when Hajime lost his cool, it was only slightly nerve wracking, there were many classmates who were glad that Kaori had returned.
*It’s funny cause the author didn’t mention Ryutaro here*When Shizuku sat on the seat, Kouki sat on the seat next to her, and Aiko sat on the opposite side, while Suzu sat next to aiko. Aiko was right next to Yue. The other classmates proceeded to sit on the other remaining seats. Suzu looked at Yue as she sat, [Excuse me…..for sitting besides Oneesama!], she said with a strangely tensed expression. Yue said, [......Why Oneesama?] while tilting her head.
When Kouki and them took their seats, the excellent maids of the royal palace began to move together and set the table. It was practically the same menu that Hajime and them had.
Then, at that time, over Yue’s head, Hajime and Aiko’s glances connected. At once, Aiko’s cheeks were lightly stained, she shamefully averted her eyes. Even still, she’d frequently glance back at Hajime, and secretly whispered out in a quiet voice.
[A, ano, Nagumo-kun…..sono, that thing from a while ago…..sono, if possible….]
Having to talk over Yue caused her to be a bit uncomfortable, most likely, as an adult, and, as a teacher, it was shameful to ask of Hajime so she kept quiet and decided to not say it.
Hajime guessed that Yue had decided to not mind it, and he thanked her within himself while looking at Aiko.
Suddenly her body was shaken and Aiko’s ears began to be dyed as well. There was a feeling that it was too late now that their eyes had matched up, Shizuku and them paid attention to Aiko’s appearance as she stared at Hajime. Fortunately, it was a blind spot for the other students so they weren’t found out but, the relatively close frontlines-group classmates saw it and were rather suspicious.
[About what, Sensei. Was there something?]
[Fu~e?]
Naturally Hajime had decided to pretend not to know anything. Aiko was momentarily dimmed by that attitude but, she guessed that he was willing to keep it a secret, with a wry smile, [No, it’s nothing], she answered. Although she was thinking that she was cowardly for having Hajime take care of it, she became happy and smiled because he was considerate.
When they saw Aiko’s state, more and more, the female’s began to turn their eyes onto Hajime. Only Yue was comforting Hajime by patting his shoulder, in addition, [Ah~n], as well. As expected of the true heroine. She was clearly different from the recent violent heroines of today.
Hajime was absorbed in his deep thoughts, as expected, Yue is the best lover! I don’t know how many times I’ve “fallen for her again”, Shia who sat on his opposite side began to tug on his sleeve.
[Hajime-san. Ah~n, desu]
It appears that rather than getting angry that her rivals in love seems to have increased, she judged that now seems to be the time for her to show her appeal. While blushing and glancing upwards, she gracefully presented a fork. At that point, she didn’t forget to also quietly draw her Usamimis closer to Hajime as well. She was wonderfully cunning.
Hajime had no hesitations since they’ve been doing it for a while, and consumed it in a bite. As Hajime chewed it in his mouth, Shia’s Usamimis were waving as if she was happy, incidentally, her bunny tail was also wiggling.
When such a spectacle was shown, Kaori and Teio couldn’t afford to stay put either. Both of them panicked and thrusted their forks into their food.
[Ha, Hajime-kun, me too, ah~n!]
[Master. Please eat mistress’s without delay. ah~nja]
[......Just this once]
No matter how many [Ah~n] were done, if the menu was the same then he’d get bored. That’s why, he gave out a warning, the 2 [Ah~n]’ed as they responded to Hajime. With that he consumed both with a bite each. Kaori and Teio both had soft and warm expressions. *
