Chapter 5
“Let’s eat!”
“Yeah . ”
On the roof, Kamaishi and I started eating lunch . A warm spring breeze blew from time to time, making it a perfect time to eat .
As to why we choose the roof? Well, Kamaishi felt somewhat embarrassed to be seen eating with me . Fortunately, nobody was up here when we came .
Sitting down on a wooden bench, we opened our lunch boxes .
“Kamaishi-san, your food looks good . Did you make it yourself?”
“Ehehe, that’s right . I made it at home . ”
Fried chickens, Tamagoyaki, Broccoli and more . Just from a glance, and my mouth watered . As expected from someone who can cook .
“Since my mom’s busy with her work most of the time, I always make meals in her stead . ” She continued .
“That’s impressive . ”
“Do you perhaps want to taste?”
Saying that, Kamaishi picked a tamagoyaki with a pair of chopsticks and brought it to my lips .
“You sure?”
“Yes, I’m a light eater in the end . Don’t be reserved and have a taste . . ”
Kamaishi brought the tamagoyaki closer, and I couldn’t stop thinking about what this was, or possibly could be . I was of course happy to taste her cooking and all, but wouldn’t this be an... indirect kiss?
I hesitated, my gaze shifting between Kamaishi and the tamagoyaki .
I mean, I knew Kamaishi . Knowing her, she probably didn’t even think of it . Gosh, airheads are scary . But still...
*Gulp*
“Well then, please . ”
I opened my mouth and let the tamagoyaki slip passed my lips .
“...... Hm, It’s delicious . ”
“Really?”
“Yeah, it’s on the same level as my mom’s cooking . ”
“Is that so . What does your mother do, by the way?”
“Cuisine researcher . ”
“Hmm... Wait... eeeh!?”
I knew why she was so shocked . My mother, Kamiya Shiori is a Cuisine researcher . Because of her young looks and work field, she often makes appearances on TV .
No need to mention that her culinary skills are way too splendid compared to the average, making me, the person who eats her meal every day, a bit too picky when it comes to tastes, but for me to praise Kamaishi’s skills like this, it must mean that she’s considerably good at cooking as well .
As a matter of fact, My father is a TV producer who met my mother, for the first time, at his workplace . They have seemingly spent a romantic time working together .
“Kamiya-kun, I didn’t expect your mother to be someone famous . ”
“Yeah, but I think you’re also great for making something as good as her cooking . ”
“T-That’s not true~,” Kamaishi blushed .
“Do you maybe want to taste mine too?”
“Eh? Is it okay?”
“Yep, I’m returning the favor . ”
I picked a tamagoyaki from my box and carried it to Kamaishi’s mouth .
“B-But, i’d feel bad...”
“C’mon now, eat before it’s too late . You must be curious about my mom’s hand cooking, right?”
The cooking of a Cuisine researcher... Maybe because she was interested, Kamaishi gulped, and before long, she opened her mouth and moved closer .
“W-Well then...”
And she bit down .
“mhm mhm... It tastes great . ”
“I know, right? . ”
Even if I say so myself, my mother’s cooking was delicious .
And we both had a fun time eating lunch together while talking about different things .
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Even after the last of it was gone, we remained sitting on the bench . The heat from the sun was warm and brought me in the ideal mood for taking an after-lunch nap .
“Fuaah~ I’m getting drowsy . ”
“You still want to sleep after all the time you spent on class resting?” Asked Kamaishi with a slightly shocked expression .
“We still have the afternoon classes . Will you be okay sleeping through them?”
“Don’t worry, I can do it . ”
“Why are you so full of confidence...?”
Kamaishi seemed to be wondering about how I could sleep for so long, but I have a secret plan . No problem . Well then, let’s spend a good time sleeping this afternoon .
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
(Third POV)
Afternoon lessons had begun, and at the same time, Kamiyama started snoring .
The teacher’s explanation worked as a good BGM, letting him sleep soundly .
“Well, Kamiya, please solve this problem . ”
“Ggu......”
“Hey, Kamiya, wake up!”
“Ggu...”
“Wake up!!”
BAM!!
“......Nnha!” Kamiyama winced as he rubbed his head, seeing the textbook the teacher had hit him with .
“You got some nerves to be sleeping in class, especially right after school started only a few days ago, don’t you? I assume that means you’re confident about knowing the material? I guess you can solve this problem then . ”
The teacher looked pissed as he pointed to the blackboard,
Kamiyama gazed at the equation on the blackboard, and within a few seconds he said,
“x=3”
“That’s...”The teached coughed . “That’s c-correct . ”
But just as Kamiya was going to put his head down, the teacher called him again .
“Wait, Kamiya . Try problem 03 on page 05 in your textbook . ”
“y=8, x=2”
“Uh... . Correct, again . ”
It didn’t seem as if Kamiya heard his classmates exclaim with a “Hoo!!”
Of course that was not true .
This was all Kamiya’s plan . As he leveled up, not only did his status grow, but different stuff as well . His attack points, defense, and of course, intelligence, which allowed him to memorize the entire textbook from just reading through it .
With this, he could freely sleep without the teacher’s griping .
And like that, he fell into a slumber, ignoring the teacher’s skewed face .
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
(Sayaka’s POV)
The first official day of school had ended . Currently, I was heading to the apartment where I live together with my mom .
“I’m back . ”
“Welcome back, Sayaka . How was school recently?”
“I collapsed because of the anemia, but I had a great time after that . ”
“You collapsed? What happened? Are you ok?”
“Yes, a fellow student someone helped me out, and I feel fine . ”
“If you’re sure, I’m relieved . Dinner is almost done, so put away your things and get ready . ”
“I understand . I will come back after I change . ”
After I spoke with my mom, I went to my room, placed my bag on the floor and jumped in bed .
(It’s been only two days after the start of school, but many things took place...)
As I thought about that, I began recalling what happened until now .
Collapsing because of my poor health .
Getting rescued by Kamiya .
Eating lunch with Kamiya .
Having a fun time talking to Kamiya .
Waitーmore than half of them is about Kamiya!!
As I was waved my legs in embracement, a sudden doubt popped in my mind .
(I wonder why I’m okay when I’m with him . )
Due to a series of events, I became bad at dealing with boys . I am not able to even look them in the eye, leave alone speak to them .
So why isn’t it the case with Kamiya? Come to think of it, I was able to talk with him normally from our first meeting......
“Could it be that... I am in... Kyah!! What am I thinking about!!”
I buried my face in my pillow and fell off the bed . Uu... So embarrassing saying it out loud...
After taking a while to calm down, I remembered when I tasted his lunch box . It was quite delicious . Should I say as expected from the skills of a cuisine researcher? One day, I want to be able to cook something that good .
Hm? Wait a second, come to think about it...
Was that an indirect-kiss?!
Kyah!!! What was I thinking about when I did that?! And thinking that, I buried my face in my pillow, rolling around in agony .
What should I do?...... Did he perhaps think me as a weirdo?
I had been driven by such uneasiness, but soon enough, I took back my composure and resumed my thoughts .
“He was quite amazing... in many ways . ”
Like how he can sleep right after finishing his self-introduction to the class until noon, or how his mother turned out to be a celebrity, and also the fact that he’s intelligent for someone who spends most of his time sleeping .
“I’ll... try to talk to him tomorrow again . . ,” I said to myself in my room .
