For so reason, Sakura was quiet for a while. Just as she was about to give up on the idea, thinking that it would be bad to go by herself after all, Sakuras voice ca.

By that cafeteria You an the one you went to last night, right?

What other one is there?

Ah, yep. Umm No problem, I think. Yup. Might not be a bad idea.

It seed that Sakura wasnt against it. Lilia sighed in relief and got up. She headed for the cafeteria by herself.

Whats with this change of attitude?

Its not like Its just because the food yesterday was tasty, is that not enough?

Its enough of a reason. Rather I think its a good thing. Alright lets go quickly lets go!

Just as she was wondering if this was really that unexpected of a thing, it really was, when she thought about it. Lilia herself, if not for yesterday, would probably never set foot in such a place. Its just that she really couldnt forget the flavour of the cooking from yesterday. She wanted to at least completely finish a al there.

Ah, green peppers are no good! Make sure to ask for sans green peppers alright!

I know I know. Ill ask them about it.

Lilia held no small amount of anticipation, as she headed for the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was very crowded. You could tell that even just from looking inside while passing by the front. And that was enough to have Lilia give up.

Lilia. What about lunch?

Isnt it way too crowded Im good for today

Dinner is free for students to decide, but everyone has to eat lunch at the sa ti after all. Of course itd be like this. But, what now?

Lilia thought for a bit, and then she went into the room for nobles. There were already familiar faces of students whod taken a seat, elegantly drinking black tea or whatnot. It was worlds apart from the room beside it. Lilia was also until just the other day coming here to have lunch, so she wasnt about to say anything to the ones eating here.

Though, she just couldnt bring up the will to eat here.

Then its take out ti!

Teik aut?

Mu, so this doesnt get through huh How about, you ask the person at the counter if its fine to eat outside? They can probably make sothing like sandwiches right? Since they can make such good food.

I see, Lilia nodded. She quickly headed to the counter in the back and called out to the person standing there. When she asked if it was possible to have them prepare sandwiches, the person, while completely surprised with widened eyes, imdiately nodded with yes of course.

When she sat down in a nearby seat while she waited, she saw the three followers from before. It seed that they hadnt noticed Lilia yet, as they quietly continued to eat their al. As she wondered if they werent going to talk at all as they ate, she rembered that when they were eating together with her, they also wouldnt break the silence unless Lilia started a conversation.

Thank you for waiting.

Lilia looked up upon hearing the voice from behind the counter. A middle aged man who looked like a chef was looking at Lilia with a smile. In his hand was a small basket. When she received it, she could feel a bit of the warmth from inside.

Ive worked here for a long ti, but this is the first ti Ive gotten an order for a sandwich from this side.

The mans face looked quite happy as he said that. Though thinking it a bit strange, Lilia said her thanks and left the cafeteria. Even just holding it in her hands, a pleasant sll tickled her nose.

Lilia! Lets hurry and eat!

Yeah

She glanced around. The entrance also had a great number of students. Though it wasnt impossible, it would be hard to have a peaceful al here. Thinking a bit, Lilia decided to move soplace else.

Im coming in.

As Lilia said so and entered,

Bufu! Geho!

Perhaps from the shock, Ray choked at the sa ti. He stared fixedly at Lilia in a dumbfounded state. In front of him was a small wooden lunchbox.

You surprised Miss Lilia, whats the matter? he tilted his head as he inquired.

Without answering, Lilia put the basket in her hand onto the table. She headed for the stack of chairs to retrieve one for herself.

Here you are.

Before she knew it, Ray had taken a chair and placed it for her. Such quick movents, thought Lilia as she thanked him and sat down in that chair.

I dont really have any particular business. I was just looking for a place where I can eat my lunch peacefully, and ca here. Since were both here, shall we have lunch together?

With myself? Yes, with pleasure.

Ray seed overjoyed as he showed a full faced smile. Seeing his carefree smile, the corners of Lilias mouth also naturally lifted up.

After Lilia took out the white cloth from the basket, she put it to the side. Looking inside, it was packed pull of sandwiches. Uu, Lilia unintentionally let out a groan and knit her eyebrows. Did they think that she was ordering for multiple people?

Lilia offered a simple prayer, then brought a sandwich to her mouth. Carefully tasting it,

Ohh, delicious What is this, Lilia eat more hurry hurry!

Annoying

It seed that Sakura had really taken to the sandwiches, as she urged Lilia to keep eating.

Grinning wryly as she continued her al, when Sakura started to hum out a tune in her cheer, a smile spilled out from Lilia. And then when she looked up, her eyes t with Ray who was staring at her with a blank expression.

What?

When Lilia asked, Ray flusteredly shook his head.

No, well I was just thinking how you really seed to be enjoying your al

Sorry for being a bother, said Ray as he went to lower his head.

When Lilia took a sandwich from the pile and offered it to him, Ray tilted his head, so Lilia said, For you.

Eh, umm Is it really alright?

I wouldnt be able to finish all this just by myself. No need to hold back, so eat up.

Well then, said as he Ray took it, and quickly brought it to his mouth. He opened his eyes wide, and a mutter of its delicious leaked out.

Theres plenty more where that ca from, so please eat as you wish.

Saying so, Lilia moved the basket to the center of the table. Ray also seed to have stopped restraining himself and imdiately reached out for his second one. Seeing Rays smile as he continued to eat, it was sohow quite calming.

Wow this kids so calming, but more importantly these sandwiches are aweso! Lilia more!

Yes yes Then this one with the green peppers

Eh I-if Lilia wants to eat it, Ill, bear, with, it?

Im joking. Dont seriously cry alright

As soon as she ntioned eating green peppers, Sakuras voice started trembling. Like with what happened yesterday, why did she hate them so much? She started becoming curious about Sakuras past from this really unusual point.
