The Hero Who Returned Remains the Strongest in the Modern World - Chapter 82

Side: Morishita Daiki

“Morishita-kun? Sorry, I didn’t make an obento for you today.”

That was what Senpai said to me while on the way to school.

Well, senpai has difficulties waking up so she often doesn’t make obento.

With this and that, I arrived in the classroom and I called out to my neighbour Lela.

“Hey, Lela? What’ll you eat for today’s lunch?”

“Aah, I won’t eat the cafeteria’s food with you today.”

The day I didn’t have an obento from Abeno-senpai I decided to go have lunch with Lela but that was rejected too.

Well, once in a while I should buy bread at the store… and, while thinking that, the homeroom teacher Serafina opened the clattering door and entered the classroom.

And then, lunch break came.

While I had been eating a pork-cutlet sandwich alone on a bench in the courtyard, I had my breath taken away by a shocking scene.

Abeno-senpai and Lela were going to sit on a bench, lunch should’ve started just a moment ago.

By the way, I’m not noticed by them.

“Fufu, here… it’s a bento.”

Lela receives a bento from Abeno-senpai and Abeno-senpai gets a sandwich bundle from Lela.

“Hehe, have a sandwich.”

The two finished exchanging the food that seemed both have home-made them and had ecstatic smiles.

“We really have become friends.”

“Un. We are friends…”

“It might be strange saying this… I think that it’s good that Linford showed up.”

“Why?”

“Thanks to that long blond-haired guy, we became friends, that’s why.”

Aa, a lot of this happened to both of them that I don’t know about the Linford’s case.

And Lela began hitting Abeno-senpai’s shoulder softly.

“There! Take this!”

“What’s wrong?”

“I had always thought about it. Our breathing is perfect, our thinking is the same, as I thought we’re best friends!”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“Hey, Kaguya-nyan?”

Did she say Kaguya-nyan!?

“What is it— Lela-pyon?”

Lela-pyon!!?

While blushing they were looking awkwardly at each other.

Not good—

I don’t know exactly where to tsukkomi.

And then, Lela talked while putting Karaage made by Abeno-senpai into her mouth.

“We’ll be friends in future too, right?”

Abeno-senpai nodded.

“Naturally, we’re friends forever”

Friends Forever!!?

Finally, I fell from the bench which I had been sitting on.

While standing up I thought about giving a tsukkomi but I sighed lightly and shook my head left and right.

Well, both of them didn’t have friends and they longed for this kind of relationship.

So, various situations led to this…

It’s not about falling in love but rather yearning for friends.

“It’s fun, isn’t it? Kaguya-nyan.”

“Yeah. We’ll go shopping next Sunday.”

“Hehehe.”

“Ufufu…”

I’m having bad feelings at both of them laughing while looking at each other, but… there aren’t problems with them getting along with each other.

And, I finished eating my sandwich and left the courtyard.

“Listen for a bit! What’s going on with Abeno Kaguya!”

Monday.

As soon as I came to school Lela called out to me.

“What’s wrong?”

“We became friends after this and that happened.”

I know that and saying it will make it more complicated so I’ll leave it.

“So?”

“That woman… She chose Ramen Gorou for our shopping lunch! I seriously can’t believe it!”

“Wait, seriously?”

It seems, Abeno-senpai made a blunder.

Then, Abeno-senpai entered the classroom and headed straight to me.

“Just a moment, Morishita-kun? It’s about Lela Sakaguchi but what’s wrong with her!?”

And then, they both noticed each other’s existence and started glaring at each other.

“I don’t want to be told that by you.”

“That’s my line. Not putting garlic in Ramen Gorou… It’s blasphemy that goes beyond meaningless!”

Is that why you’re snapping for!?

That’s completely your personal opinion.

The food there is delicious enough even without garlic.

“Rather, why did you add more garlic!?”

“I always have extra garlic in that store.”

Erm, Abeno-senpai previously ordered even more that the top was like Mt. Everest… Well, since then she should’ve paid attention to it.

“Do you even understand what I’m saying!?”

“What do you mean?”

“Stimulating food is impossible for me!”

“What exactly?”

While her shoulders were trembling Lela said.

“I have hemorrhoids.”

Now that I remember, that’s right!

Certainly minced raw garlic is harsh.

“Rather, a shopping lunch at Ramen Goro can’t be serious for two high school girl students! I want a normal girl shopping where we buy things at a stylish shops and then eat lunch at a stylish coffee shop in Daikan’yama!”

“Daikan’yama? Did you just say… Daikan’yama?”

Abeno-senpai had several veins showing on her forehead at those words.

“What’s wrong, Abeno Kaguya?”

“Can you stop saying those since it reminds of my relatives and my sister. Every time Daikan’yama is said… I get appalled.”

Well, a lot of things happened between her and her family.

So it’s not unreasonable for her to have unpleasant feelings.

“Then, leaving that place aside, I want to talk about love with a friend in a stylish cafe!”

“I want that, too.”

“Oi, you two want to talk about love interests…? Despite looking like you aren’t interested in?”

“Eh…” “Oh…”

Both of their cheeks got red and looked at me embarrassingly.

Erm, I then noticed.

Judging normally they certainly look like they have no interest in it… But, they clearly had conveyed their feelings to me.

This was a slip of the tongue.

“Ah, no, that statement didn’t happen! Forget about love interests!”

Close.

Just a little more and I would’ve stepped on a landmine.

And, both of them had awkward faces and shook their heads left and right in settlement.

“Then, what kind of shopping is good for you then? What lunch is better than Ramen Gorou?”

While looking about to explode, Abeno-senpai yelled with a desperate feeling.

“Eating in Akihabara’s maid cafe and then shopping in a doujinshi special shops!”

I know she’s a gamer, but… It seems she’s a serious otaku.

Lela is at a loss of words when she heard those words.

It seems that statement is a bit of a shock to a girl who yearns for Daikan’yama.

Lela’s mouth for a while was opening and closing.

And then, Lela shouted to Abeno-senpai like she wouldn’t lose.

“Erm, I too want to go there, but!”

You want to go too!?

Aah, come to think of it she said that she also reads novels.

“Then, then, Akihabara is banned! Aside from that, what also is good!?”

“Eating Horumonyaki at a Yakiton-shop while drinking cola!”

Just like some middle aged guy!

Everything goes for this woman!

Rather, where did the high-moral cool woman setting vanished to!?

“Horumonyaki!? You’ll eat skewered Horumonyaki for lunch!?”

At this statement even Lela is drawn back.

“Anyhow! I don’t want to be something like friends with you anymore!”
