Ten minutes later, Mai Fukawa looked helpless across the toilet stall.
"Ma Yiyan~ Are you okay? It's been ten minutes—"
"Wait a minute! Mai Mai, my stomach still hurts~"
Hearing the sound coming from the cubicle, Fukawa Mai couldn't help but sigh silently. She carefully arranged the makeup on her face and the folds of her clothes in front of the mirror, while thinking of what happened ten minutes ago.
Ten minutes ago, Shiraishi Mai, who was still chatting and laughing, suddenly squatted down again holding her belly, frowning and gasping, indicating that her stomach suddenly hurt and she wanted to go to the toilet, and then rubbed it hard. I took the girl to the toilet, but as soon as I entered, the door was closed and she didn't come out for ten minutes.
Mai Fukawa didn't doubt the authenticity of the matter. After all, every girl has experienced this kind of sudden stomachache, especially when it comes, even drinking a little cold drink may trigger it, so Shiraishi Although Mai's performance was a little sudden, the possibility was not small - at least it was much more realistic than the lie that stubbed her toe just now.
Faced with her friend's sudden physical discomfort, the girl with a gentle personality did not wait impatiently or simply walked away. Although there was a factor of time passing when she asked, she was more worried. She asked questions from time to time, which was also worried. The other party really just fainted inside because of poor health.
After a while, there was still no sign of the girl coming out. Mai Fukawa couldn't help but worry: "Mai, are you not feeling better yet? Will it become more and more uncomfortable if this continues? Do you want me to help you to the infirmary? take a break?"
There was silence in the cubicle, and then the girl's voice sounded again.
"...It's okay, Mai Mai. I actually feel better already. I should be almost there in a while -"
"But--"
"It's really okay. I'll be out soon. Just wait for me."
In the cubicle, Mai Shiraishi was dealing with this while putting one hand on the door and thinking hard about countermeasures with a frown on her face.
Ten minutes have passed, and it seems that it has almost reached its limit. If it drags on any longer, no matter how naive Mai Mai is, she will notice that something is wrong. After all, if she is really uncomfortable, why won't she go to the infirmary to take a rest? Woolen cloth? It was just a few steps away, and the girl agreed to accompany him.
But if we were to go out like this, what excuse could we use to delay the process? In the past ten minutes, Mai Shiraishi was not idle. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and asked about the situation in the lounge. According to people familiar with the matter, Baiyunshan was still in the lounge at this time and was now pretending that nothing was wrong. If you go out, the result will only be a failure——
In the end, after pondering for a long time, Shiraishi Mai couldn't think of a good reason, so she could only walk out of the cubicle in desperation.
Seeing that the girl finally appeared safe and sound, Fukawa Mai was relieved for a moment, then touched the lunch box in her hand and said quietly: "Mai, you finally came out, my lunch box is almost cold-"
Shiraishi Mai smiled coquettishly, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she asked: "Since the bento is already cold, how about we not go to the lounge at all?"
"That's not possible, I still have to go to the rest room."
Mai Fukawa shook her head decisively.
"なんでやねん（Why）~"
Mai Shiraishi couldn't help but blurt out an Osaka accent that was infected by her relatives and friends.
"If you don't go to the lounge, why don't you go to the corridor? This always feels weird-" Fukawa Mai said matter-of-factly.
strange? What the hell is weird?
Mai Shiraishi couldn't help but complain in her heart, what's going on with your natural tone, Mai Mai? Listening to what you say, there is no natural justification for why you want to climb a mountain because the mountain is right there? Please, are you mistaken? What you are doing now seriously violates the rules against love. Once discovered, the consequences will be disastrous! Why do the reasons that come out of your mouth sound as if this is a natural thing to do? Hey!
And if you tell me so openly, aren't you afraid that I will accidentally leak it? If you accidentally talk in your sleep a few more words while sleeping, the matter may be completely exposed, and you will be finished by then, Maimai!
A burst of complaints came like a storm, and Shiraishi Mai also felt a little tired and couldn't help but sigh.
Fukawa Mai was a little confused when she saw this, so she carefully poked the opponent's fair arm, and then whispered: "What's wrong with you, Mai? Why do you feel so tired?"
nonsense! It’s not all because of you!
Mai Shiraishi rolled her eyes, then secretly grinded her teeth, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.
It seems that there is no other good way. Although this may be unfair to Mai Mai and may make her sad, for the sake of the overall situation, this move is imperative!
sorry! Mai Mai! I will apologize to you later!
Mai Shiraishi gritted her teeth and suddenly took action while the other party was not paying attention. She snatched the bento from the girl's hand with a snap, then hurriedly took a step back and distanced herself.
Faced with this unexpected situation, Fukawa Mai was a little at a loss, but she had always been gentle and could not do anything drastic, let alone just reach out and grab. She could look at the other person blankly and said: "Mai. , what are you doing?"
Mai Shiraishi snorted, opened the lunch box, broke the disposable chopsticks in half, then looked at Mai Fukawa with a serious face and said: "Sorry Mai Mai, I suddenly feel a little hungry. One minute I can’t wait any longer, so now I have to borrow your bento to fill my stomach!”
"But--"
Mai Fukawa's gentle expression was filled with grievances. She pouted and was interrupted by the other party before she could finish her words.
Mai Shiraishi said seriously: "There is no but! Mai Mai, although you are temporarily blinded by other reasons and do not know the seriousness of this matter, but believe me, I have absolutely no intention of harming you. What I have done is Everything is for your safety. Therefore, I must eat this lunch!"
Mai Fukawa still refused: "Isn't this a line that Ichiku-chan and Sayuri often say!"
"Ahem!"
Shiraishi Mai almost lost her breath, her face turned red with embarrassment, and then she said loudly: "This is different! They said this because they are greedy. There is an essential difference between them and me!"
"What's the difference?"
"Oh, you'll know it later anyway!"
Shiraishi Mai waved her hands not wanting to explain more, then took a deep breath, looked at the opened lunch box and said in a low voice like a pilgrim: "Maimai, you have to remember, every bite I take is for you. If one day You understand, but don’t forget my sacrifice!”
"etc!"
Mai Fukawa spoke up again.
"what happened again?"
"Ma Yiyan, are you sure you want to eat here?"
Mai Fukawa glanced at the surrounding background and said with a strange face: "Are you sure this is a suitable place? If you are really hungry, I can't give you this lunch, although it is a pity - but you are here Wouldn’t it be good to eat here? Why don’t we just eat in the lounge?”
Shiraishi Mai was silent for a while, then suddenly sneered triumphantly and hummed: "Mai Mai, Mai Mai, I don't see that you can also use scheming tactics. You have learned the trick of delaying the attack. Yes, there is progress."
"What kind of delaying strategy?"
Mai Fukawa was confused.
"Stop pretending, Mai Mai! Do you think I don't know what you are thinking?" Mai Shiraishi said with a proud face, "You just saw that the lunch box was about to be eaten by me, so you wanted to stabilize me first and then take me with you." If I go to the lounge and suddenly attack, you still have a chance to make a comeback, but unfortunately, I have already seen through your thoughts!"
"ah?"
Mai Fukawa was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Hey, I guessed it!"
But Mai Shiraishi couldn't help but laugh smugly, and said happily.
"It's okay, Mai Mai, just wait until I finish eating this and buy you a bento to apologize. In short, you can't even think of walking into the lounge with your bento today!"
After saying that, without waiting for the girl's reaction, he made a simple gesture of opening the lunch in front of him.
"いただきます~"
It has to be said that this bento is very generous in terms of side dishes and ingredients. The main dish is perfectly prepared top-grade Wagyu beef barbecue, accompanied by simmered carrots and brightly colored tender stir-fried spinach. The steaming fresh salmon soup looks appetizing.
The only pity is that the place she is in at this time is the toilet, and Shiraishi Mai has already eaten to her full. Therefore, even though she knows that the bento in front of her tastes good, she still has no appetite and can only frown. He frowned and gritted his teeth. Well, it is indeed cold and the rice has begun to harden slightly.
It can be seen that Shiraishi Mai's face does not seem too happy. Now even Fukawa Mai is a little confused. Mai has been tossing for so long. She originally thought that she was greedy for her lunch, but now it seems that this is not the case. thing, then why did she do it? Just looking for yourself to have fun? Mai is not such a bad person, is she?
Mai Fukawa couldn't help but said worriedly: "Mai looks like——"
"I'm fine! I just don't like anyone seeing me while I'm eating!"
Shiraishi Mai quickly made up an excuse, then turned her back and continued to gnash her teeth at the delicious bento in front of her. In order to reassure the girl, she also pretended to eat with gusto, as if she really ate it with gusto.
Mai Fukawa wanted to say something else, but when she saw the other party like this, she could only sigh softly.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the entrance behind the two of them.
"Maimai, and - Maiyan? What are you doing?"
The two subconsciously looked back, only to see Sayuri Inoue, who had been absent from the lounge just now, timidly standing in the light of the entrance, looking inside curiously but timidly, looking between the two of them. After wandering back and forth, he finally settled on the girl who was eating her lunch.
Mai Shiraishi wiped her mouth subconsciously and replied: "What are you doing? Eat."
"Have a meal--"
Sayuri Inoue repeated. Due to the light, she could not clearly see the movements of the girl not far away. When she heard this unexpected answer, she couldn't help but froze in place.
Immediately, her eyes widened in an instant, as if she had received some shocking and terrible news, and her entire spiritual world was greatly impacted, just like a character in a horror movie who saw an extremely terrifying existence with her own eyes, and her face quickly turned pale. , his body began to tremble, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Eat! Maiyan! You, you are actually in the toilet-"
Before she could finish her words, poor Lily Girl rolled her eyes and was frightened to the ground by the terrible news.
The remaining two Mai looked at each other, silent for a moment.
