Book 1: Chapter 8: part 4
When it was lunchtime, I got out of my seat with a goal in mind. Then I headed to the cafeteria.
“Where are you going?”
After having noticed me rush out of the classroom, Kushida followed. Stopping in front of me, she leaned over and looked up to me.
“Because it’s lunch, I thought I would go to the cafeteria.”
“Fuun. Is it fine if I go with you?”
“It’s fine, but you have a lot of other people you can ask too, you know.”
“Even though I have a lot of friends I can eat with, you have no one. Also, although you would usually talk to Horikita-san first, you didn’t say anything today. Didn’t you say yesterday that you were worried about something in the staff room? What was that?”
As usual, Kushida was listening to the surroundings; or rather, observing her surroundings. Honestly, I thought it would be annoying if someone was always, but I think it’s fine if it’s Kushida. I only got to know her secret by chance. I won’t do anything bad.
“I can tell you, but will you promise not to tell anyone else?”
