"Let's eat lunch first, Yoshino. Things will eventually work out. It's not a solution for us to keep worrying like this."
Yoshino, who had a headache all morning, still couldn't think of a way to go back and face the carnivorous Suzuya Yuriko tonight. In order to change her mood, let's go eat lunch.
"We can only do this for now. Ruiko, it's time to get up. Let's go have lunch together."
She gently pushed Saten Ruiko, who was Crane on the table sleeping. This guy has been Crane on the table all morning.
It seems that the brain enhancement yesterday went quite smoothly. Now, as long as she eats some biscuits with her spiritual power added, she should be energetic.
It's just, why don't the teachers come to take care of it? Saten Ruiko sleeping in class should be a very serious situation, right?
"Huh? Hmm~ It's Yoshino. Haha~ I clearly went to bed very early last night, Ruiko, but why am I still so sleepy when I wake up today? If it weren't for the reason of going to school, I really want to have a good sleep in a warm bed."
Saten Ruiko rubbed her eyes in a daze, stretched greatly, showing her figure that could despise most adults, attracting the attention of many boys in the class.
"Are you okay, Ruiko?" Seeing Saten Ruiko's tired appearance, Yoshino was a little suspicious that she was too anxious.
Saten Ruiko's system is just an ordinary girl. Is it too much to do such a strengthening behavior on her body?
Thinking like this, Yoshino reached out and rubbed Saten Ruiko's temples, secretly using her spiritual power to help Saten Ruiko cheer up.
"Hmm~ Yoshino's hands are ice-cold and very comfortable. Ruiko, I'm starting to get energetic. Thank you, Yoshino." The ice-cold feeling made her head start to become clear.
It's really strange. I was so dizzy just now, why am I awake now?
Does Yoshino's hand have some kind of magic? A few presses and her groggy head started to clear up.
"We're going to eat, do you want to come with us, Ruiko? Yoshino prepared a lot of delicious dishes today, do you want to try some?"
Shiina made an exaggerated expression with its hand, wanting Saten Ruiko to know just how delicious Yoshino's bento was. However, it was an undeniable fact that Yoshino's cooking was indeed very tasty.
"Eh~ Is that so? That really makes me look forward to it~ But because I wasn't feeling energetic this morning, I, Ruiko, didn't prepare a bento. Now I still need to go to the school cafeteria to buy bread to eat."
Awkwardly scratching her head, Saten Ruiko had nothing to eat. Having slept all morning, her stomach felt flat, though she had slept very comfortably.
No, no, no, you were comfortable, but the teacher in class today was not. If it wasn't for Yoshino being right behind you, trust me, young lady, you would definitely be unlucky today.
"But it's already been a while since class ended, do you, Ruiko, have the confidence to grab bread in the cafeteria battlefield at this time? If you can, Ruiko, you're really amazing."
In this past month, Shiina had also witnessed what the Neon cafeteria looked like at noon; it was a true battlefield.
If Yoshino, with her small frame, were to go in there, who knows what would happen.
"Ahahaha~ You're right, Shiina. If I go to the cafeteria now, I probably won't be able to buy anything and will just waste time."
Saten Ruiko had also witnessed that scene; even she, full of energy, felt a little intimidated when she saw that terrifying sight. This option definitely needed an X mark.
"Th-that, Ruiko. If you don't mind, why don't you eat bento with Yoshino? Uiharu has Disciplinary Committee Member work today and can't join us. Yoshino doesn't have such a big appetite, so we can eat together."
Hesitantly taking out her bento, Yoshino, with her spirit physique, didn't need to eat much. Maintaining three meals a day was just a habit left over from her previous life.
The portion prepared today was perfectly fine to share with Saten Ruiko.
"Eh! Is that okay, Yoshino?" Saten Ruiko looked at Yoshino in surprise.
As a good friend, she knew that Yoshino made bento. Every day when she and Uiharu Kazari ate bento with Yoshino, Yoshino would also share her cooking.
When she tasted it, she immediately felt completely defeated in terms of feminine charm. At the same time, she envied the person who would have Yoshino as a girlfriend and enjoy Yoshino's cooking; they must be very happy, right?
"It's no problem, let's go, Ruiko."
Now, not only did they need to eat bento, but they also needed to resolve Saten Ruiko's problem first.
Although exposing her abilities so early was a bit unfair to Shiina, if it was for the kind Saten Ruiko, Yoshino felt it was all worth it.
"Then let's go!" She naturally put her arm around Yoshino's shoulder and left the classroom under the gaze of her classmates.
After they left, Accelerator, the class monitor—no, rather, the head of the cheering squad—came to the front of the classroom and began his speech.
"Yahahaha~ Yoshino's cooking is truly delicious. This fried shrimp is so good." Saten Ruiko, eating the fried shrimp with a broad smile, praised Yoshino.
It really was a treat, Yoshino's cooking.
"It's so good that you're satisfied, Ruiko." It was a chef's happiness when her cooking could make others very satisfied.
Looking at Saten Ruiko happily eating her meal, Yoshino, who had been about to speak, thought of the Aerial Surveillance System that Academy City's Chairperson, Aleister Crowley, used to monitor Academy City. This thing could expose many things.
'Yoshino, can you make sure the surrounding Aerial Surveillance System can't receive the footage from here?' If he saw it, Saten Ruiko's future life might be a bit dangerous.
'Don't worry and go for it, Yoshino. I'll take care of everything.' With the power of the necklace, Shiina indicated that these were not problems. 'Leave it to me.'
'Mm, thank you, Yoshino.' Now there was nothing to worry about.
"Ruiko, Yoshino wants to ask you a question."
"Hm? What is it?" Saten Ruiko looked at Yoshino with a puzzled expression. Is something wrong?
"If, if I could give you superpowers, Ruiko, would you be willing to try?"
"Eh?" Saten Ruiko was stunned for a moment.
