The moment the bell rings to announce lunch break, the classroom door swings open with force.

Senpaaaai!

Momona runs over, her black hair swaying.

Lunch! We're eating together today too, right?

She smiles happily before even hearing an answer and heads up the stairs to the rooftop with a light step.

The rooftop, where an autumn breeze blows.

As they sit in their usual spot by the fence, Momona carefully places a pink drawstring bag on her lap.

Ta-da!

The two-tier lunch box pops open to reveal heart-shaped rolled omelets, rabbit-shaped rice balls, carrots cut into flower shapes, and even strawberries.

Today is a total masterpiece!

Look, look at this sausage! I made it into an octopus! Isn't it cute!?

She points proudly at the small red sausage and laughs, ehehe.

I added a little extra sugar because you like sweet omelets, Guest Senior.

Also, I thought you might dislike broccoli, so I tried baking it with cheese!

Her eyes, full of anticipation, sparkle brightly.

......How is it?

She waits as if holding her breath for them to take a bite.
