Chapter 90 - 87: Each Holiday
The meals on the luxury cruise ship are mostly buffet-style, which most students use.
I wasn't particularly hungry, just a little peckish, so I bought a sandwich and tea at the shop. Thinking it might be nice to eat on the deck while gazing at the sea for once, I began searching for a suitable spot.
Then, I spotted a bench facing the ocean. However, it seemed someone had already claimed it. If it was someone I knew, I figured I could ask to share the seat.
The person who turned around at the sound of my footsteps was Nanase. Apparently, she was the one who'd gotten there first.
"Ah, H-Hyakkiya-senpai!"
She had just taken a big bite of her sandwich, so she looked at me while trying to keep the filling from falling out. Seeing her hurriedly chew made me feel a little guilty.
"Ah, sorry. Should I come back later?"
I said it, but knowing Nanase's personality, there was no way she'd agree to that.
"P-Pwease, f-feel fwee!"
Determined not to spit out what was already in her mouth, she quickly resumed eating.
"Gulp... Um, sorry. It's just that, well... I was in the middle of eating."
