(Not having friends or eating alone is lonely…)
Anyway… why is it necessary for me to eat a different meal all by myself? I sighed inwardly with that thought.
However, looking around, it was clear that someone else had taken the dishes to the serving area for me.
I took my seat, looked at the faces of the three girls, and observed who the culprit was that served me (???).
“……”
(Oh… all three of them are the culprits…)
All three of them expectantly turned their sparkling eyes towards me, hoping for praise.
“Azumi-chan, Renka-chan, Yuki-chan, did you do it for me?”
“Y-Yes!”
“Of course, it’s yours.”
“Eeep, I did it too.”
Yeah, just as I expected.
“Azumi-chan, Renka-chan, Yuki-chan, thank you for doing this. But from now on, I’ll help too. Let’s prepare together.”
“……..”
When I said that and smiled, the three blushed and became fidgety.
Girls of this age are honest and cute (lolita, etc).
While having such a conversation with my group members, the signal to start eating was given and I started eating.
Today’s lunch was meat pasta, roll bread, pineapple salad, and milk.
I don’t have any likes or dislikes personally, so I enjoyed the meal that was served to me.
“Yoruto-kun, do you have any food you dislike?”
“Yeah. I don’t have any likes or dislikes.”
“S-Amazing… I- I can’t eat tomatoes.”
“I-I can’t eat bell peppers…”
“I really can’t eat pumpkins. By the way… I heard that boys are picky eaters, so I’m surprised. Yoruto-kun, you’re amazing.”
While talking about that, the teacher stood up and headed towards the wall with a bundle of poster boards.
“Is that… morning drawing?”
“Yeah, maybe. U-Um, Yoruto-kun… could you look at the picture I drew later?”
“I-I want you to see mine too…”
“M-My drawing… please look at it too…”
“I would be happy if you looked at mine too.”
While saying that, I enjoyed the meal with the three girls.
… As expected, it’s a normal meal with everyone rather than eating alone like a feast.

“…It’s amazing.”
After the meal, the first words I spoke when I saw everyone’s drawings were that.
No, everyone is good.
I can understand that it’s somewhat inevitable that you can’t identify what my drawing is about.
But… what I meant by “amazing” wasn’t about that.
Everyone, without exception, including Azumi-chan, Renka-chan, and Yuki-chan, who I haven’t even talked to yet, drew a boy in their picture.
(…This… is all me, right?)
My appearance is somewhat well-kept, but I do have a few distinctive features.
First of all, my hair. It seems that most kids in this world have black or brown hair.
Mother has brown hair, and Reina-san has black hair.
And looking at the other kids in the Momonga group, it’s the same. Most of them have black or brown hair. From that, it’s safe to assume.
By the way, Nee-san has light brown hair.
On the other hand, mine is gray.
It might be closer to black, but it’s not black.
Plus, my eyes are a light purple color, so it’s a distinctive appearance, to say the least.
… And the pictures of boys in front of me all have gray hair and purple eyes without exception.
There’s a possibility that they might be relatives of these girls, but… it’s unlikely.
“Oh… the boy in this picture is…”
“…It’s Yoruto-kun!!”
Yeah, I knew that.
I didn’t confirm out of a slim possibility.
“…Haha, everyone is really good at drawing.”
That was all I could say while looking at the definitively good drawings.
No, isn’t everyone too talented?
