The breakfast passed in harmony.
No questions.
No doubts.
At least for now.
After finishing their meal, Kai and Ren walked out of the cafeteria.
“So, are you planning to keep that butterfly?”
“Yeah.”
“Think about a name then.”
Kai clasped his arms behind his head.
“And did…
you actually finish packing?”
Ren shook his head as he walked.
Sigh~
“Let’s do it in the evening.”
“…Got it.”
“Big Brother,” a voice called out.
As they turned, a little girl’s figure entered their vision.
Ren gazed at the figure.
Blue hair, big round eyes, and a chubby face.
Breakfast girl.
“Oh~ Ho…
if it isn’t our Ren’s little follower,” Kai said sarcastically.
The girl ignored him and walked toward Ren.
Kai glanced at Ren.
“Hey, Celesia.
What brings you here?”
Ren looked at the girl and crouched down.
Then he reached out and patted her head like he did in the corridor last time.
The girl simply smiled.
“The Director was calling for you, Brother.”
“…Where?”
“The Director’s office,” she replied.
“And that degenerate too.”
Kai chuckled at that.
“Let’s go,” he urged.
Ren stood up, ready to leave.
Then he noticed Celesia’s gaze linger on him.
More precisely, his collar.
“…Is there something?” Ren asked as he touched his collar to check.
“No…
Bye, Brother.”
“I will be leaving.”
With that, she waved at them and hurriedly left in the opposite direction.
She can fall at that speed.
Kai stared at him as if looking at an idiot.
“…Seriously,” Kai said.
“I told you to stop being so direct before…
Didn’t I?”
“But it is true.”
Kai loosened his clasped hands.
Grabbing Ren by the shoulders.
“When some girl looks at you and her gaze unknowingly lingers on you, you should cough to make her realize it, or simply touch that area.
You don’t call them out directly.”
“Why?”
“It’s called etiquette.”
“Since…
when do commoners need etiquette?”
Kai rubbed his forehead before pointing in the opposite direction from which the girl had left.
“The Director’s office is in that direction.
Let’s go.”
Some things are deeply ingrained in genetics.
