1/3

Ah, Anzu-san. Are you going to have lunch now?

I just arrived, too… I was just wondering what to eat, so I've been looking at the menu board.

Anzu-san, have you already decided?

One of the daily set meals, maybe.

Ahh, the set meal with lots of spring veggies, right? I was just thinking that one looks tasty.

I think I'll have the same, then… It sounds like it'll be a healthy meal.

I'll have what I always eat.

Ah, there's a meal you always have, huh? I get you. I tend to have the same food every time, too…

It's much more comforting to just eat the meal you know is tasty, instead of a new one you've never tried yet.

I haven't yet.

Me too. I tend to decide something while lining up in the queue, but…

In the end, I don't choose anything in time, then go into a panic and choose something I don't actually like much… I'm betting the same will happen today.

Woah— I'm so sorry! A huge queue came up while we were chatting…!

Sigh… We should have lined up before talking, right… I wasted your time…

I'm so sorry for taking away your precious lunchbreak like this.

It's not a big deal.

Really? You seem so busy lately, so I thought I did something bad…

I know this is odd coming from me, but please make sure to rest whenever you can. Your health is important…

We should be able to talk more.

Uwaah, you're way too kind… You're trying to be considerate so that I don't get depressed, right…?

Thank you. I don't really have anything interesting to say, but if you're alright with talking to me, I'd be glad to have a chat.

Don't be so down about it.

I'm sorry for worrying you… Ah, all I've been doing is apologizing.

I seriously need to fix this negative side of me… I went up a school year by now, so I gotta get myself together…

3/3

We finally have our food. Alright, I'll go eat over on that seat.

…Huh? Am I keeping someone waiting? No, I was just planning to eat on my own…

You'd like to eat together? I'm fine with it, but are you sure…?

It'd be a nice opportunity to do so.

I see… True, I do feel like I haven't been able to talk to you much lately, Anzu-san.

It's nice talking to you, so I'll be taking you up on that offer.

There's some things I'd like to talk to you about, so…

Ahh, is there something you wanna speak to me about? Okay, I'd love to help.

You're always helping me after all, Anzu-san. I don't know if I can be much help, but I'd like to repay the favor.

Would you prefer being alone…?

Ahh, no, no! It's not that I don't want to be with you…!

If anything, I'm happy you invited me of all people to eat together. If it's not a bother, I'd like to eat with you.
