Chapter 397: Starry Academy Days – V

The gazes lastly stopped when Meggie and Emma reached the cafeteria.

Even so, Meggie held Emma shut and nonetheless stored a pointy eye out.

Since Hoshigawa Academy was a mixed college, the cafeteria was full of college students from each the center college and highschool parts. Or was it junior excessive and senior excessive?

Meggie did not actually take note of these distinctions, so she wasn’t too certain. However anyway, since there have been so many individuals round, it was simple to mix in and keep away from consideration. Particularly when Meggie pointedly pulled up her hood to cover her face.

Emma nervously glanced at Meggie’s raised hood and stated, “I-Is it wonderful to put on that right here, Meggie?”

Meggie led Emma to the again of the lunch line after which stated, “It is wonderful. I imply, do you see a few of the loopy outfits individuals are sporting?” To emphasise that time, Meggie pointed to a desk in the course of the cafeteria.

To start with, since Hoshigawa Academy was a mixed college, the shared services have been giant. The cafeteria itself was the dimensions of a small mini mall and appeared rather a lot greater on the within than the skin (it truly was, however nobody actually questioned it).

However though the cafeteria was giant and full of college students, there have been nonetheless fairly a number of college students that caught out.

Just like the desk Meggie was pointing at.

A younger male highschool scholar with gravity defying spiky hair sprayed with gold and purple highlights brandished a bizarre disc bracer on his left arm.

Throughout from him, one other male highschool scholar brandished a fancier wanting bracer that regarded like a blade. That man’s hair was regular, brown and neatly combed. However he wore a white lengthy coat with dragon decals that appeared to have built-in followers to maintain it swaying in non-existent wind.

“It is over! I play Field of Greed letting me draw 5 playing cards!”

“You idiot! I activate my lure card, Magical Bandana!”

“Hah! I activate *MY* lure card, False Vibes!”

“IMPOSSIBLE!”

…

Meggie regarded away from the weirdos taking part in a kids’s card sport so dramatically.

Emma giggled after watching the 2 overly dramatic card gamers after which stated, “I suppose you are proper.” She took a go searching once more, pausing at some extra stand-out college students. “It could possibly be rather a lot worse.”

Meggie glanced at a loopy man with a bowl lower munching on an eclair whereas doing bicep curls with a pull-up bar. Pointedly ignoring him, she nodded and stated, “Undoubtedly.”

Since Hoshigawa Academy was a college for ‘particular’ college students, it appeared like there have been fairly a number of… attention-grabbing college students round.

‘Mother and Dad actually could not simply do regular issues, huh?’

Meggie bit again a sigh after which targeted on the duty at hand: grabbing meals.

They’d made quick progress by the lunch line and received to the half the place they may decide up trays.

Meggie grabbed one and handed it over to Emma. “Right here.” She let go of Emma’s hand shortly after handing the tray over and stated, “Do not get misplaced now. I am completely going to depart you behind should you disappear.”

“I will not, Meggie!” Emma gave a livid nod and stated, “I can not let my first good friend in my entire life throw me away!”

…Oh Heavens. Emma was considered one of *these* ladies?

Meggie felt like she had simply signed herself up for lots of drama later… however that was a later drawback.

Proper now, they needed to clear up the meals drawback.

So Meggie pointedly shoved the ideas of how Tsuki was completely going to be jealous of Emma, Emma was most likely going to be clingy, and the way Dad was TOTALLY going to make enjoyable of her.

Dad had a means of creating the meals style filling with out being overbearing, and likewise simply… heat? One thing about his meals all the time made the individual consuming them really feel higher.

In distinction, this burger was good, but it surely felt a bit ’empty.’

Nonetheless, it was positively higher than any random quick meals or grasp chef of this world might make.

Meggie was certain of that.

And to substantiate that thought…

Emma sniffled as she chewed on her burger. Wiping away her tears, she regarded up at Meggie together with her watery crimson eyes. As she did, the heart-shaped pupil in her proper eye appeared to glitter a bit, though it was blurred together with her tears.

“It is so good…! Ueeeeeee…!”

“H-Hey!” Meggie grabbed a serviette and reached out to wipe Emma’s tears. “I-It is only a burger! Cease crying over junk meals!”

“However junk meals tastes so goooooood. Ueeeeeee!” Emma was inconsolable, crying after which taking massive bites out of her burger between sobs.

“Hah…” Meggie determined to surrender and return to consuming her meals.

It would not be the primary time she noticed individuals sobbing out of gratitude whereas she was consuming.

…She would positively want if this was the final although.

The awkwardness was killing her on the within… And he or she thought seeing Huge Sis Alphy act candy in actual life was cringe sufficient. Sheesh…

“S-Sorry…” Emma sniffed and wiped away her tears earlier than blowing her nostril with a serviette.

Meggie grimaced after which handed a few of hers over to Emma. “Right here. You want them greater than I-“

Emma instantly grabbed them and blew her nostril once more.

‘…Woman. we’re consuming right here, proper…?’

Meggie glanced at her burger after which quietly set it apart.

Dad was coming to choose her up, so Meggie might get extra later.

She wasn’t actually within the temper to eat anymore after seeing Emma break down like that… particularly after the lady blew her nostril.

Emma sniffed after which pulled herself collectively. After cracking open her soda can, she took a number of sips to relax. “Hah…” She let loose a weak smile and stated, “Sorry once more. You have been so good to me and all the things and requested me to eat lunch like this and I fell aside…”

Meggie waved her hand. “It is wonderful. Uh… Life occurs?”

That was what Dad stated, proper?

Yeah, let’s go together with that.

Emma laughed after which smiled. “It actually does…” She picked up her burger once more and took a sluggish chunk, savoring the style. “…I by no means thought I might have the ability to eat one thing like this.”

“…It is only a burger.”

Emma giggled and stated, “Proper. It is only a burger. And these…” She opened the field of fries and took one out. After munching on one, Emma let loose a happy sigh. “And these are fries… So tasty.”

…Was this a Dad factor that Meggie received? Why was the primary good friend she made at school such a weirdo…?
