Dinnertime.
Shika, who was reading some manga while relaxing on a chair, heard a knock on the door.
"Please enter."
Rather than the maid whom she expected, the person who entered was a handsome boy.
Seiji smiled. "Shika-chan, I’m here to eat dinner together with you."
Shika paused in surprise for a moment, before a smile slowly bloomed on her face.
"Thank you…"
"There’s nothing to thank me for; I just wanted to eat together with you."
Seiji brought two trays of food over and placed them on the table.
"I… haven’t eaten together with anyone for a terribly long time," she informed him in a soft voice.
Seiji’s hands paused in midair upon hearing this.
"That’s why… thank you," Shika said, gazing directly into his eyes.
Seiji turned around and patted her on the head.
