The long box is not big, and it is not a luxury product. At best, it is the same as one bought in a 100-yen store, but it is very clean after cleaning.
The two ends of the box are designed into circular arcs, which makes it very convenient to buy and carry. If Kato Yusuke's only dissatisfaction is that it cannot be heated in a microwave oven, because the wood will collapse.
And compared to the Japanese cold lunch box, he still prefers hot food.
It's not that he's picky. After all, after more than ten years of experience, he has long been accustomed to this lifestyle physically. His thoughts are purely due to some psychological factors.
The lid of the wooden box was lifted.
The dishes inside look very rich.
Rice takes up two-thirds of the space, with a layer of fried beef rolls with shredded onions spread flat on top, and the portion is quite large; the remaining one-third is filled with several pieces of tamagoyaki and the same cold dishes.
There is a partition between the side dishes and the rice.
in addition.
In order to prevent the transfer of smell, the bottom of the side dishes is also very thoughtfully wrapped with a piece of colored paper, which shows the degree of care of the maker. It is not comparable to the kind of bento sold outside.
Takei Ichiro and Yamaguchi Takashi silently looked at the bento in Kato Yusuke's hand, and after a long while, they spoke.
"...Is this a love lunch?"
"...It's a love bento."
"...For Kato?"
"...It seems so."
"In other words... it's that one, right? That one?"
"Ah, I know what you mean!"
The two exchanged glances with each other, and their expressions suddenly became serious.
"Hey, Kato——"
They looked at Yusuke Kato, crossed their hands on their chests, Ichiro Takei even pushed up the non-existent glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said in unison.
""Have you got a girlfriend?""
For some reason, the atmosphere suddenly turned into interrogation mode.
…
"You must not ignore these two people."
That’s what Kato Yusuke thought and did.
"Click, click..."
"Chew Chew... Chew Chew..."
"Hmm...is it spinach?"
"Chew Chew... Chew Chew..."
He just ate the bento from the box with relish, looking very calm. From time to time, the chewing sound of teeth crushing food could be heard from his mouth, and he expressed his thoughts while eating.
"tasty."
He praised, his eyes shining slightly.
It seems that sesame oil has been added to the spinach. It tastes refreshing, crisp and tender without losing the taste, and is very appetizing.
He picked up his chopsticks and couldn't help but take another mouthful of rice.
The rice that has absorbed enough water is not only clear in grains, but also very full. Although it has cooled down due to being left all morning, it is very chewy, and there is still a hint of sweetness on the tip of the tongue after eating it.
That guy's craftsmanship is really good.
Sayu's face unconsciously appeared in Kato Yusuke's mind, and his eyebrows softened. Of course, this was purely because of the delicious food.
It's just that other people don't think so.
Ichiro Takei and Takashi Yamaguchi on the side saw that Kato Yusuke had been acting as if no one was around him before, but now he showed such a confused expression, which confirmed some of their inner guesses.
"Kato..."
The two of them walked around behind Kato Yusuke, and then stretched out their hands in unison.
"Be prepared to wake up——!"
One person aims at the neck, and the other person aims at the left arm.
The two worked together to tightly tighten Kato Yusuke's body parts.
"Okay——! It's time to get on! Takei!"
This is what Yamaguchi said.
"Understood——!My brother——!"
This is what Takei said.
"Go-!!!"
The bodies of the two were ignited with passionate flames, and the prelude of exciting music vaguely sounded in their ears.
The veins on the forearm were stretched out, and the well-developed biceps (which did not exist) were bulging like small hills. Takei and Yamaguchi hugged Kato Yusuke's neck and left arm tightly, and then exerted force in the opposite direction at the same time.
"Uh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh -!"
The loud slogans echoed in the classroom, but...
I broke it off...I couldn't break it off.
I tried to break it apart... but still couldn't break it.
The sound of shoe soles scraping against the ground was endless. God knows how they made such noise with the silky indoor shoes on their feet.
"...Have you had enough trouble?"
Kato Yusuke sat motionless on the chair, a deep tic-tac-toe appeared on his forehead, and said to the two of them with a black line on his face.
"Give up, Kato! We will never give up until you confess!"
"Even if you say that, I don't know what I'm going to confess."
Kato Yusuke was speechless.
"You bastard, you must have a girlfriend, right!? We agreed to be single together, but what about the promise between men? You traitor!"
Yamaguchi shouted, and while exerting force on his hands, he did not forget to remind Takei on the other side.
"Hurry up, Takei! As long as you can knock this guy down, I will treat you to any number of bowls of ramen——!"
"real!?"
Takei was stunned for a moment, then showed an excited look on his face, and roared with great energy.
"Power! It's coming out——!"
"Ola-o-la-o-la-o-la-!"
“Wood big wood big wood big wood big—!”
Paji——
There was the sound of something breaking in his mind. Kato Yusuke's face was wrapped with black lines, and a ferocious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"almost……"
"Just stop it—!"
He stood up suddenly, his tall figure standing proudly in the classroom, and the two people he was hugging were also lifted up, with his feet hanging in the air like a pair of pendants.
At that time, Kato Yusuke still didn't know that what happened that day would become the dark history of his life.
The classroom door was opened.
Snap...
The sound of something falling to the ground was heard, and standing outside the door was a girl with gradually dilated pupils. She was looking at the three people entangled with a broken expression on her face.
The atmosphere fell into a deathly silence.
"Wait a moment……!"
Kato Yusuke stretched out his hand.
"Excuse me for disturbing you...!"
The sliding door was quickly closed, and panicked footsteps sounded from the other side of the door and gradually faded away.
Only the bag of bread was left alone on the ground.
