I think it was probably Shinyo who suggested to Hime, "Let's sit on my lap."
This kid always clings to me like this. Well, since there are two of us today, he's being a bit reserved and sitting on the edge of my lap instead of in the center.
I guess he really likes Hime.
I felt a little happy when I saw Shinyo giving up half of her space.
(I wonder if he's a nice guy to his friends?)
Maybe he's the type of person who only finds it annoying when it's someone of the opposite sex that he likes.
Come to think of it, my sister was like that too. Although she was very affectionate towards her boyfriend, she was kind to me, her younger brother, and the friends around her. It seems that blood runs through Shinyo's veins too.
(But even so... it's so light.)
Looking at it this way, they're both really small.
I thought this as I looked at Hime and Shinyo sitting on my laps.
It's very light, so it's not too hard to support the weight of two people.
It may be difficult to maintain this position for long periods of time, but it seemed like it would be no problem for the time it took to eat a snack.
"Yo-chan is really good at it."
"Yes. Shinyo was right... it's very comfortable to sit on. I think it's a top-quality chair."
No, it's not a chair, is it?
Although I was a little unhappy about being treated like furniture, I didn't dislike the situation so I accepted it without saying anything.
Well, one reason is that Shinyo-chan is always like this, so I'm used to it.
Furthermore, Hime looked so happy that I couldn't bring myself to be unhappy.
"On Yohei-kun's lap... hehe"
I often sat on his lap during class, so maybe this position is more comfortable for him.
With a face like that, there was no way I could put it down, so I decided to just eat my snack as it was.
"Let's eat!"
Shinyo immediately started eating the sweets.
A box of consommé-flavored potato chips has already been opened. Next to it is a box of pointed corn. I wonder if we can finish two of them... well, I guess it'll be okay for three people.
"Yo-chan, Koharu likes black."
"Yes, yes. A drink."
As requested by Shinyo, I poured some dark carbonated juice into a plastic cup. Next, I turned my attention to Hime, who was sitting on my left lap, and asked her which one she wanted to drink.
"...I've never tried either of them."
"Huh? Is that so?"
Hime, are you the type who doesn't even drink juice?
Come to think of it, she said she had never eaten sweets before meeting me, so I guess juice is the same.
"Mei usually makes sweets and juice or orders them for me, so I don't eat store-bought sweets very often. I do enjoy cakes, cookies, tea, and fruit juice after meals, though."
I see. That's what it was.
She brought cookies again today, so I guess Mei usually prepares a lot of things for me.
Eating too many sweets can be harmful, so if you're concerned about your health, it might be best not to eat them frequently.
Well, I eat it every day, but I need to control myself.
"Hmm. This is the best for potato chips after all."
But maybe just for today, I can forget about my health.
Shinyo-chan is usually restricted by her sister, but today she seems to have been given some freedom. She was feasting on the devilish combination of potato chips and dark carbonated juice.
Well... it's okay to have a day like this every once in a while.
