Chapter 201 ( Lunch )

Cloud, Chifuyu and Shizuka was walking to the courtyard so they could join Asuna and the others for lunch as usual.

"Is there any news from Erin?" - Cloud asked as he looked at Chifuyu, who was practically acting as his secretary.

"Since when am I your secretary?" - Chifuyu asked with a frown - "As far as I remember, I'm older than you."

". . ." - Cloud gave her a neutral look because he had already let on that in chronological age, he was much older even though his mentality matched the appearance of his body every time he was rejuvenated by the [Origin] System.

"No... she hasn't shown up yet, although I got a message with a raven saying that she'll be back in a day or two" - replied the black-haired girl while shaking her head.

"Thank you" - smiled the blond while looking at Shizuka, who was watching a bird through the window - "That ability is a problem at times like this."

"Hmm~ Did you say something, Cloud-chan?" - Shizuka asked as she gave her boyfriend a glance when she heard him speak to her.

"No... it's nothing" - sighed the boy as he saw Chifuyu's lip trembling slightly - "Something you want to say, Secretary Orimura?"

". . ." - Chifuyu rolled her eyes at him but kept silent as the 3 of them continued their tour.

"Ugh..." - Tamao could only sigh with regret at the sight of the mess in front of them - "Why do we have to do this!"

"Because that's the punishment Okina sensei gave us for skipping classes so often" - Rintarō replied while shaking his head. The task was simple, they had to take out the trash from all the classrooms and throw them into the incinerator, although there was a problem, "very small" problem, and this was that they also had to take out the trash from the bathrooms, the girls' bathroom included. This would normally be Tamao and Kousuke's dream but to their horror, they saw that inside the trash were "very personal" items from the girls that even them being limitless perverts, they couldn't stand.

"I won't be able to see my sister's sanitary items like before when she sent me to buy them..." - Kousuke muttered in terror.

". . ." - Rintarō just shook his head because he too had felt that this... experience, had been too much for some boys.

"Guys? What are you doing here?" - Marokichi asked as he saw how his new friends were in the incinerator.

"Marokichi?" - the 3 boys from class 1-A were also surprised to see their new groupmate.

"That's for us to ask you" - said Tamao as he looked at the messy haired boy.

"W-Well... this is the quietest place to eat lunch without anyone trying to bother me" - replied Marokichi while scratching his cheek.

"You're fucking bad, dude" - sighed Kousuke as he looked at his new friend - "Seriously, I should go to the doctor and ask him if there's a solution for your fucking problem because if this keeps up, you'd better become a monk or a hermit."

"I've thought about those options but they both have a downside" - sighed the boy with messy black hair and glasses.

"I meant it as a joke but it seems you took it too much to heart" - denied the blond boy - "Anyway, the doctor thing was serious"

"I went a few days ago before coming to Nangokuren and there is still no cure to my situation" - sighed Marokichi while shaking his head.

". . ." - Rintarō frowned when he heard this because he was becoming more and more certain.

Tamao and Kousuke looked at each other as they thought the same thing but since the boy didn't seem to be a bad guy, they decided that they wouldn't say anything and wait to see the results of getting to know him better, after all, a person could hide their true personality.

"Rintarō-sama?what are you doing down there?" - A female voice asked from the second floor.

"!" - Marokichi quickly looked down to the ground to prevent trouble while the others looked up, only to notice how Asuna and the two twins were watching them in surprise.

"!" - Tamao and Kousuke only got ejected backwards from a nosebleed as they saw how Asuna's huge breasts were slightly blocking her face from their perspective.

"Hello Asuna-san, Rumina, Rurina" - nodded Rintarō as he shook his head to get the huge mountains of his friend's subordinate out of his mind.

". . ." - Rumina and Rurina frowned as they gave a discreet glance at their leader's breasts, only to shake their heads as she wasn't interested in the boy they liked.

"Hello, Rintarō-san" - nodded Asuna calmly - "I see you have a new addition to your.... group..."

"Yes... his name is Marokichi-kun" - nodded Rintarō as he watched the messy-haired boy say hello with his face still lowered.

"He's... peculiar..." - Asuna said while shaking her head - "Anyway, remember you can always come talk to us if you need anything, come on Rumina, Rurina."

"Hai!" - exclaimed the two twins as they followed their leader but not before looking at the boy one last time.

"We'll see you later, Rintarō-sama" - said Rurina with a slight blush while Rumina nodded without saying anything else.

"Rintarō! You have to teach us how to get girls!" - Tamao and Kousuke exclaimed as they lashed out at their friend.

". . ." - Marokichi for his part, just shook his head.

"What are you doing here?" - Ayane asked as she looked at Kyōka with a frown.

"He~? Can't I be here, Senseiryū?" - Asked the blue-haired girl with a calm smile - "As far as I know, I don't have to ask your permission if I want to see Cloud."

". . ." - Ayane was silent as the atmosphere became a bit tense.

"Hmm... It's interesting that you guys came" - Keiko said as she watched the third year girl's subordinates.

"We're just following Kyōka" - replied Honori as she shrugged her shoulders.

"I-I want to talk to Chifuyu-san..." - Misa said as she was ashamed of her words. She felt quera like the younger sister of the black-haired freshman girl, making her relationship a bit different from the one she had with the others.

"I just came for the food" - Chiyoko replied - "I heard that Shizuka-san cooks well."

"I-I just came to protect Kyōka-sama" - said Kako while averting her gaze - "I'm not going to let that blonde beast disrespect her"

"Yeah... whatever you say" - said Makoto while rolling her eyes at him - "Seriously, if it wasn't because I know you well enough from the time we spent for the Festival, I would think that you're in love with Kōgōryū"

"We think so too" - nodded Chiyoko.

Kako was about to defend herself but kept silent when she saw Cloud, Shizuka and Chifuyu arrived on the scene.

"Oh? I see there are more people gathered" - Cloud said with surprise.

"Hmm... I don't think the food I made, will be enough for everyone" - muttered the blonde nurse while shaking her head.

"Relax, we brought food too, so we can put it all together to share" - replied Makoto calmly as she took out a large four-story bentou.

"Where did you get that from?" - Keiko asked in surprise.

"I prepared it myself" - replied the black-haired girl as she looked at her friend.

"You know how to cook!" - exclaimed the blonde freshman girl - "Why didn't you ever say so!"

"Because you never asked" - replied Makoto calmly - "Not to mention that if you knew, you would ask me every day to cook something for you and I would lose valuable time to groom myself!"

". . ." - Keiko rolled her eyes at her friend but said nothing because part of what she said was true.

"I cooked something too" - Kyōka said as she gained everyone's attention - "What?"

"Do you know how to cook?" - Honori asked with surprise.

"Of course I am!" - exclaimed the blue-haired girl as she narrowed her eyes - "My mother taught me about everything needed to be a good wife, be it cooking, household chores, as well as flower arranging, classical dancing, among other things."

". . ." - those present stood in silence as they watched Cloud standing as if nothing was happening.

"Did you know?" - Kako asked in surprise.

"Of course I knew" - replied the blond boy - "She prepared lunch for me during our practices for the festival and I have to admit that it's delicious."

"Thank you" - smiled the Third year Dragon as she looked around - "Did you see? I can cook!"

". . ." - the third year girls were silent as they never thought their leader was a good cook, although in retrospect, Kyōka knew about traditional Japanese dancing.

"Sorry we're late" - Asuna said as she appeared next to Rumina and Rurina - "We were late because we ran into Rintarō-san and his friends at the Incinerators... I guess Okina-san punished them for something they did with cleaning the trash cans in all the classrooms."

"I guess it was because they had skipped their classes quite often" - said Chifuyu while shrugging her shoulders.

"Although they were with a strange boy" - said Rurina while frowning - "He was a boy with glasses and messy hair... the strange thing was that he didn't look at us, he always looked down at the ground, as if he felt guilty about something."
