The Classmate Who Is Adored by Everyone Smiles Teasingly Only at Me-Chapter 4V1 . - Infinite Possibilities of Ice Cream

Infinite Possibilities of Ice Cream 4

“Shōhei, I’m going to escape. Are you coming too?”

“Ah, sorry. I have a bento today.”

After the fourth-period class, Sōma approached his best friend, who showed him an elaborately wrapped bento box, looking apologetic.

“I see. Can’t be helped then.”

He tried asking other close classmates as well, but they all flatly turned him down.

“I guess I’ll escape alone.”

To ‘escape’ literally means to slip out of the school premises during lunch break and go out to eat.

It seems to be an underground tradition passed down at this high school, where students who despair at the school’s meals escape for outside food.

Of course, it’s a clear violation of school rules, but the teachers seem to turn a blind eye unless they catch them in the act.

This probably speaks to how terrible the cafeteria and the school store’s food tastes.

While Sōma is picky about the taste of sweets, he doesn’t fuss as much about regular meals.

Nevertheless, if he continues to have disappointing food every single day, he’ll get tired of it and start longing for something delicious.

That’s why he tries to escape and eat out at least once a week.

“Oh, Sōma, if you’re going out, get me some snacks. Buy some potato chips for me.”

As Shōhei, who had already opened his wrapped bento, said that, Sōma’s other friends chimed in with their requests:

“I want mint chocolate ice cream!”

“Coke!”

“I want peach gummies!”

Other classmates also jumped on the bandwagon and started making requests one after another.

“I’m fine with you paying 100 yen for each delivery.”

“Ichinose, that’s too much, isn’t it?”

“Don’t be silly. It’s reasonable as compensation for the delivery service.”

“Ichinose is such a cheapskate. A real scrooge.”

“I think you guys, who are trying to squeeze money out of classmates who are just going out to have lunch, are the real scrooges.”

While casually dismissing his classmates’ comments, Sōma left the classroom and headed for the back gate.

There’s no other route to leave the school during lunch break.

Despite that, he had never seen a teacher watching this place.

It could be seen as evidence that the school turns a blind eye to students eating out.

When Sōma arrived at the back gate, there were people already there.

“Watch your step.”

“Yeah, thanks.”

A boy and a girl who seemed to be upperclassmen were helping each other climb over a shabby iron gate with light blue paint peeling here and there.

“Tsk.”

Unconsciously, he clicked his tongue when he witnessed it.

It was clear they were a couple, and the reason for leaving the school was probably not just because they disliked the school meals but because they wanted to have a meal together in private.

For Sōma, who had never had a girlfriend, it was not an enjoyable sight to behold.

Full of envy, he tapped his toes on the asphalt ground while waiting for the couple to get over the gate.

“Well then, shall we go?”

“I’m really looking forward to having lunch alone with you, Yū-kun. It’s been a while.”

“I do too. I’ve reserved a private room. Let’s take our time.”

“Yeah!”

While saying that, he watched the upperclassmen, holding hands as they left, with a disgusted expression on his face.

“What’s up with them? Are they going to eat or just fool around? They should make up their minds. Damn it, I’m going to have the large serving today.”

Muttering such things, he quickly crosses the cold, rough-feeling back gate.

Escaping multiple times has made him good at jumping over the game.

“Sōma-san.”

As he checked his wallet to see how much money he had left, he heard his name called from the direction of the back gate.

He tensed up, thinking it might be a teacher, but it wasn’t.

Running towards him while shaking her brown hair, it was Chika.

“What’s up? Don’t tell me you’re going to ask me to buy something for you too?”

Breathless from running, she extends her hand as if asking for money.

“Oh no, it’s not that. Um, can you take me outisdewith you?”

“….Outside?”

He widens his eyes. It was an abrupt and unexpected request.

“I want to have lunch outside too!”

“Weren’t you always bringing lunch from home?”

I remember Chika having meals with Miki and others in the classroom during lunch breaks.

“I told my mom I don’t need a bento today. I predicted that it would be a day when Sōma-san goes outside, so I took the chance and followed you.”

She adds with a smile.

“Don’t go predicting people’s eating habits. Anyway, what about your partner Saito?”

Even after looking behind her, I don’t see the figure of the black-haired model student.

“I told Miki-chan that I have a stomachache and will go to the health room.”

“Again with your lame lies.”

When the truth comes out, Sōma will surely be the one to take the blame.

“I always bring a lunch box and have never eaten outside. I’ve wanted to try it ever since I saw everyone in class doing it, but Miki-chan always said no.”

“Well, she is the vice president of the student council.”

As the vice president of the student council, she wouldn’t support breaking the school rules.

“That’s why I’m asking you, Sōma-san. Please take me with you.”

“Just so you know, it’s a clear violation of the school rules. Don’t blame me if we get caught and scolded.”

“It’s okay! It’ll be a new experience for me. I’ve never been scolded by a teacher before.”

“That’s too positive of a way to look at it.”

Though he finds it exasperating, if she’s prepared for the consequences, it’s too pitiful to refuse her.

“Alright. Let’s go together. Climb over the back gate and come this way.”

“Understood!”

With quick gestures, Chika cheerfully lifted herself onto the iron back gate.

He was worried because he didn’t think she had good physical skills, but she unexpectedly leaped over the gate with agility and landed firmly on the ground.
