Himegi-san a Bride from the Future Begs Me to Confess My Love to Her Again - Volume 2 Chapter 1.3

Me, Princess’s Sister, and a Bunny Suit 3

“Oh, I’m glad it suits your taste, Ouji-kun.”

” ….. “

I want to praise myself for maintaining a poker face this time.

What should I do?

I don’t want to put any more of this bento’s contents into my mouth.

I’d rather eat a milk-soaked rag than consume this object.

“Then, I think I’ll eat some too.”

Himegi-san said this as she opened the lid of another bento.

“…Himegi-san, that…”

I point to her bento with trembling hands.

“Hm? Oh, this one is made by our regular maid.”

That’s unfair! I want that bento too…

But I can’t say that. Not with her looking so happy and content.

I could never ask her to swap bento; it would be like killing myself.

Besides, everyone in the classroom is watching us.

If I refuse this bento now, I’ll make Himegi-san lose face. As her boyfriend, that’s the last thing I want to do.

Yes, I am Himegi-san’s boyfriend.

It’s my responsibility as her boyfriend to deal with this object!

Even if it kills me, I’m going to eliminate this thing—with all my body and soul!

“Why are you taking a fighting stance?”

“…It’s out of respect for the opponent I must defeat.”

Let’s begin this endless battle between light and darkness.

Right now, I am both the sorrowful Ouji and the angry Ouji.

Having made up my mind, I eagerly stuffed the dishes from the bento box into my mouth.

Yes, I faced them all with love and courage: the onigiri with its squishy texture like warabi mochi, the chicken karaage flavored like watermelon, the broccoli that popped and sizzled in my mouth, and the mini tomatoes that were as hard as rocks and smelled like ginkgo.

Doing my best not to chew, I intentionally increased the amount in each bite and washed down all the dishes with tea.

Of course, with every bite, sweat poured out of every single pore, unpleasantly streaming down my face.

Weird! Despite all the sweating… my body started shivering from the cold.

It’s still April, right? Why is it so cold today?

Why is my body shivering so much???

And then, after a hard-fought battle, I finished all the dishes.

Yes, I emerged victorious. I had perfectly vanquished the embodiment of evil from this world.

As a boyfriend, I had perfectly cleared one trial!

“Cough, cough… cough”

Ah, that was close, too close.

I almost unleashed the sealed demons into the world.

“Ouji-kun, I don’t like it when you eat too fast.”

“Sorry, I couldn’t stop myself because it was so delicious.”

True to my words, both of my arms were shivering uncontrollably.

“…it was so delicious that you’re shaking?”

“Yes, I’m so overcome with emotion that I can’t stop shaking. Thank you for the meal, Himegi-san—”

“——There’s still some tamagoyaki left.”

Himegi-san points at the turquoise-colored tamagoyaki with a bright smile.

Damn it! I thought I could gloss over this with enthusiasm. Seems like I can’t escape this final boss.

“…Is that tamagoyaki made with matcha?”

“Matcha? No, it just has mentaiko rolled in the middle.”

“Mentaiko, you say…”

No matter how I interpret it, that color doesn’t come from adding mentaiko.

“Takashi also likes this. Right, Takashi?”

Himegi-san seeks agreement from Takashi, who is sitting at a distant seat.

“….Yeah. …I really like Touka’s tamagoyaki…”

You liar! Your eyes are darting around!

And Your face has gone pale with fear! You look completely traumatized!

“…is that so? If you like it that much, Takakyun, would you like to eat this tamagoyaki?”

“…Ah! Sorry, I have a date with Kanako today.”

Takakyun shook his head vehemently, rejecting my offer with all his might.

It seems that eating this tamagoyaki would make it impossible to have any plans after school—it’s that dangerous.

Honestly, my instincts are telling me that this tamagoyaki is very risky.

Now, what to do with this tamagoyaki…

I gaze at the two slices of tamagoyaki in the bento.

Two slices, huh… One slice is already too much to handle, and there are two…

“…Hmm?”

At that moment, my eyes met those of a male student.

“Nakajima-kun, do you want a slice?”

“—Huh?”

At my sudden suggestion, Nakajima-kun is greatly surprised and flustered.

He clearly hadn’t considered that he’d be roped into this.

“No, no, no! I… I’m not hungry right now…”

“Oh, is that so? If you’re not hungry, all the more reason you should eat this tamagoyaki.”

I can’t believe Himegi-san herself is recommending it to Nakajima-kun.

The proposal of an innocent beauty cornered him.

By the way, it seems that eating this tamagoyaki will improve your appetite, according to Himegi-san.

What principle causes this improvement in appetite?

“Ah, ah, aah… No, I’d feel bad taking it from Ouji…”

“Don’t worry about him. Here, go ahead.”

Himegi-san grabs the turquoise-colored tamagoyaki with blue chopsticks and gently places it in Nakajima-kun’s bento.

“It’s delicious, you know.”

Himegi-san smiles warmly at Nakajima-kun.

“…Thank you.”

When the most beautiful girl in the school smiles at you, most guys can’t rudely decline.

Clearly, Nakajima-kun couldn’t say no, resigned himself, and accepted the mysterious object A.

Well, he probably didn’t want such an angelic smile in this kind of situation anyway.

“Itadakimasu…”

Perhaps having steeled his resolve, Nakajima-kun hesitantly, yet confusedly, puts the turquoise-colored tamagoyaki into his mouth with trembling chopsticks.

The sound of Nakajima-kun chewing reaches my ears.

He swallows with a gulp.

Then, he drops the chopsticks he was holding onto the floor as if he’s a toy that’s run out of batteries, becoming completely motionless.

“Na-Nakajima-kun???”

After a few seconds of silence, he slowly opens his mouth.

“…It’s…it’s delicious.”

That’s what he says. Despite its appearance, it seems to be delicious.

“Eh? It’s delicious?”

“Yeah. It’s really delicious.”

Really? Even with such a creepy color, it’s actually tasty???

“Isono, you should try it too…”

He said this while staring intently at my face.

“Huh? I-Isono???”

“Yeah, Isono, you should try it too.”

“…I’m Ouji, though?”

“Isono, this tamagoyaki is really good!”

“…Ah, okay…”

The personality of the male student who had been earnestly dedicated to baseball seems to have broken down. I think this because his eyes were extremely wide.

W-w-wwhat should I do! Will I end up like him too?
