Characters: Hosho Isagi & Kawai Hikaru

Title: While bathing in the warm sunlight

-Back of Campus Buildings-

Hosho: (...... The canteen’s packed…… There are so many people when it comes to lunch time……)

(I can’t p-possibly reach the cashier through this thick crowd……!)

* * *

Hosho: (...... It’s a good thing that I made my lunch from yesterday’s leftovers.)

(There aren’t any people around if it’s behind the school buildings. I can rest easy……)

…… Oh, Mister Carp…… Can I eat here with you?

This is your share. It’s probably not good for you to eat too much of it, so I’ll only give you a little……

Cat: Meow~

Hosho: Oh, I haven’t seen you around before…… Nice to meet you. If you’d like, here you go.

Cat: Meow~

Hosho: It’s okay. Please have it.

Sparrow: Chirp Chirp~

Hosho: Hello, are you hungry?

You should be able to swallow this, so here.

Sparrow: Chirp Chirp~

Hosho: Are you all full? Well then, I’ll also…… Oh.

(There’s almost nothing left……)

???: Jeez~ I figured something like this would happen.

Hosho: Huh……? Oh, Kawai-san.

Kawai: Here you go.

Hosho: Huh? This sandwich is……

Kawai: I saw you going out to lunch during the break.

And I guessed that there would be a high chance of you avoiding the cafeteria, and heading for the back gardens or behind the buildings in that sort of situation.

Hosho: (I was read like a book……)

Kawai: By the way, there was also a 62% probability that the animals would approach you in the case that you went behind the campus buildings!

After that, it was just a matter of it being you, Isagi-kun.

I predicted that you would give even your share of the food to the animals when you saw them.

It was all behavioral inference based on statistics!

Hosho: …… I’m sorry for making you take such meaningless data…..

Kawai: It’s a hobby of mine so don’t worry about it!

That aside, I was given a bunch of sandwiches and now I’m in a pinch.

So I was thinking of maybe getting you to eat them with me.

Hosho: …… Are you sure?

Kawai: I said that I was in a pinch, didn’t I?

So think of it as helping me out here, kay?

Alright, so will it be eggs? Or is ham better?

Hosho: Eggs is fine……

Kawai: Here you go then! I’m gonna eat one too. Aaaah mhmm!

Hosho: …… Thank you.

The timid university student appreciated that the other male had tried to not make him feel bothered by it by saying that he was in a pinch.

All the while, his heart filled with warmth as he genuinely enjoyed their lunch time together.
