Chapter Ten: The Girl's Gratitude Cannot Be Refused

Saeko Busujima gently brushed the hem of her skirt and slowly sat down next to Ryuji Kurosaki, opening the exquisitely crafted wooden bento box in her hand.

On the left side of the table were several golden-brown fried shrimp tempura and plump meatballs as the main dishes, accompanied by equally golden-brown tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet), and finally garnished with bok choy and broccoli.

On the right are glistening, translucent grains of white rice, sprinkled with sesame seeds and corn kernels.

The entire bento box is clearly layered and looks very appetizing.

Then look at the fried rice in your hand. If you weren't adhering to the principle of not wasting food...

Ryuji Kurosaki wanted to throw the fried rice in the trash.

"Kurosaki-kun, if you don't mind, would you like to try my bento?"

Saeko Busujima turned her head, her smile full of tenderness.

"May I?"

The bento box was clearly Saeko Busujima's lunch, and Ryuji Kurosaki felt a little embarrassed to eat it.

"Of course, I've prepared a lot of bento boxes today, so could you please help me finish some of them?"

Saeko Busujima seemed to sense Ryuji Kurosaki's embarrassment and carefully explained.

"Then I'm not welcome!"

Ryuji Kurosaki then picked up a fried shrimp tempura.

Saeko Busujima watched as Ryuji Kurosaki put the fried shrimp tempura into his mouth, and her expression began to tense up.

She seemed worried that her bento box would be unpalatable to Ryuji Kurosaki.

Click~~~

Although it was fried shrimp tempura taken from a bento box, the thin golden crust still retained its crispness, and the snow-white shrimp meat inside was also very bouncy.

When you bite into it, the aroma of oil mixed with the sweetness of the shrimp bursts on your tongue.

It tastes just as good as that of a top chef.

Especially compared to that fried rice, it's like comparing heaven and earth.

"good to eat!"

Ryuji Kurosaki immediately gave Saeko Busujima a thumbs up.

“That’s great. I was worried it wouldn’t suit your taste, since I made all of this myself and there are still many shortcomings.”

Saeko Busujima also seemed relieved.

"Absolutely not, Busujima-kun, you're too modest. With your culinary skills, many chefs are probably not as good as you!"

Ryuji Kurosaki smiled and replied with certainty.

"Kurosaki-kun is so kind."

Hearing Ryuji Kurosaki's praise, Saeko Busujima blushed slightly on her delicate face.

Especially when the warm sunlight falls on her, paired with that blush, she is exceptionally beautiful.

"Gentle? You're the first person to call me gentle."

Ryuji Kurosaki thought of those guys who feared him and shook his head with a self-deprecating laugh: "Speaking of which, thanks to your bento, otherwise today's lunch would have been torture!"

I also tried the other dishes in the bento box, and each one tasted quite good.

With these dishes.

Ryuji Kurosaki finally finished the fried rice.

Of course, I didn't finish the whole bento box.

After all, it was Saeko Busujima's lunch.

Ryuji Kurosaki's emotional intelligence isn't that low.

The rest of the bento boxes were naturally eaten by Saeko Busujima herself.

"Kurosaki-kun, I haven't properly thanked you for what happened last time."

Saeko Busujima said as she closed the bento box after finishing the last grain of rice in it.

"No need to thank me, it was just a small favor. If you really want to thank me, this meal would be enough. By the way... I didn't cause you any trouble, did I?"

Ryuji Kurosaki waved his hand, indicating to Saeko Busujima not to worry too much.

He only killed those guys because of the mission reward.

And they went too far.

It is highly likely that Saeko Busujima, one of the parties involved, will be implicated.

"The police just took a statement from me, there's no trouble at all, please don't worry. I didn't reveal your identity, and I also emphasized the situation at the time, so the police shouldn't come looking for you."

"That's good!"

Hearing from Saeko Busujima that he wasn't being targeted by Uncle Hat, Ryuji Kurosaki felt a bit relieved.

"Ha~~~"

Ryuji Kurosaki dozed off at that moment: "It's easy to feel sleepy when you're full!"

Ryuji Kurosaki, who was feeling a bit nauseous from carbs, muttered to himself as he glanced around the rooftop.

I want to find a place to sleep.

As a result, apart from the bench where he and Saeko Busujima sat and the piles of miscellaneous items, there was nowhere to lie down on the entire rooftop.

It was agreed that every school's rooftop would have sofas brought in by delinquents.

Where's the sofa?

Upon closer examination, Kamakura No. 3 Middle School is not a bad school in the strict sense.

It is more inclined towards ordinary schools.

It's just that there are some downsides.

No matter what, I can't sleep on the floor, it's uncomfortable.

"Kurosaki-kun, if you don't mind, you can sleep here."

Just then, Saeko Busujima, who had already put away her lunchbox, put her legs together.

She patted her thighs, which were covered by the pleated skirt.

"Really?"

"Well, consider this my way of expressing my gratitude."

As soon as Saeko Busujima finished speaking, Ryuji Kurosaki noticed that the pop-up panel had reappeared out of nowhere.

[Task detected: "The Girl's Gratitude"]

[Quest Description: The girl doesn't know how to express her gratitude, she just wants to do what she can for you!]

[Completion conditions: Accept the girl's gratitude and take a nap.]

[Completion Reward: Stamina +3.]

Ryuji Kurosaki looked at the mission.

It seems I can't refuse.

"Then I won't be polite."

Ryuji Kurosaki immediately lay down on the bench.

The touch from the back of my head was soft.

It also provides sufficient support.

It has just the right amount of elasticity, making it more comfortable than any other pillow in terms of firmness.

A faint, youthful fragrance lingered in her nose.

Ryuji Kurosaki slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.

A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling the hair and hem of clothing of Ryuji Kurosaki and Saeko Busujima.

The entire rooftop was so peaceful.

There was no commotion.

...........

It wasn't until the afternoon bell rang.

Ryuji Kurosaki slowly opened his eyes.

I felt refreshed and invigorated after that sleep.

I haven't slept this well in a long time.

Why can't we see Saeko Busujima's face anymore?

What exactly is obscuring my vision?

Congratulations on completing the mission "The Girl's Gratitude"!

[Reward: Stamina +3.]

The panel pop-up window did appear.

Chapter Eleven: The Murder Duo

At this moment, Ookuchi Yuuji and his companions, who had just finished lunch, were strolling along the riverside path, cigarettes dangling from their lips.

Before long, five delinquents, puffing on cigarettes, were seen squatting on the grass under the bridge not far away.

These delinquents were also wearing the uniforms of Kamakura No. 3 Middle School.

Seeing Yuji Ooguchi and the others approaching, they all stood up and greeted them as they came forward.

"Brother Xiong, you've arrived!"

"Good afternoon, Brother Xiong Er!"

They were clearly old acquaintances.

"Oh, good afternoon!"

Yuji Ookuchi, who was smoking a cigarette, stopped and nodded to the five delinquents.

They were all delinquents at Kamakura No. 3 Middle School.

Although we're not in the same group.

However, they are not in a hostile relationship.

Because Ooguchi Yuuji's position as the leader of the delinquents at No. 3 Middle School was not just a boast.

Those five delinquents had already been beaten into submission.

These bad actors are now led by Yuji Oguchi.

"Brother Xiong, I'll just say what I have to say."

"I heard that your Group A got an incredibly talented transfer student today?"

"You still want to acknowledge him as your boss?"

At this moment, the five delinquents all stared at Yuuji Ooguchi.

After all, Yuji Ooguchi is their boss.

If Yuji Ooguchi were to acknowledge someone else as his boss, wouldn't he just become the subordinate of that subordinate?

"Yes! But we haven't officially paid our respects yet; they haven't agreed, haha!"

Yuji Ooguchi scratched the back of his head and said with a smile.
