Chapter 24: Want Some? – Part 1

“Yo.”

Lunch break.

Kyouya slid open the clubroom door, holding his lunch box on the other hand.

“Hm.”

The person inside was Kirara. Her voice came from her usual spot on the sofa at the interior of the room.

Following a casual greeting, he headed to his own usual spot at the round table.

He opened his lunch box.

In fact, Kyouya had been feeling a little bit nervous.

Kirara was as mysterious a person as one can get, and he thought that might just be the first time he was alone with her.

Her height was around 180 centimeters, quite large for a girl. As for her body, let’s say she had a very voluptuous figure. Her short unruly hair perked up at both sides of her head. At first glance, it even looked like a pair of ears.

She was a girl of few words, so Kyouya still didn’t know very well what kind of person she was.

Munch, munch. Om nom nom.

As Kyouya thought about that, the girl kept eating.

It was only natural to eat a meal during lunch break, but in this girl’s case, she’d always be eating something, mostly meat. Chicken legs, spare ribs, whale strips, every day a different kind of meat.

That day she was eating an orthodox chicken leg.

It looked like something out of a Christmas feast. Several chicken legs were piled up on the large plate in front of the girl. Actually, it might be more appropriate to say several dozens of legs.

Every single day an abundance of meat would pile up there.

He’d heard that she was being sponsored by this butcher shop that dealt in all sorts of meat, from ostrich meat to frog meat. Apparently, the shopkeeper had promised Kirara a “lifetime supply” of meat. Something like being indebted with her for beating up some “bad guys”.

That story had come from Mao, so he wasn’t sure how far he could trust it. She could just be making it all up again.

“What’s wrong? Kyoro.”

He only directed a fleeting glimpse at her, but she got wind of it.

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

“Hm.”

The girl nodded, resuming her meal.

Kyouya returned to his lunch box too, but he still couldn’t stop glancing at the girl.

After finis.h.i.+ng one chicken leg, Kirara sucked her fingers clean. Kyouya was surprised to notice how adult-like her movements and her face were as she did so.

He’d always thought she looked childish, though he couldn’t really figure out women.

She does have a pretty side. He thought.

But what kind of beauty was that? Like Mao, who looked like a doll when she wasn’t talking or biting you? Or idyllic, angel-like Megumi? Or maybe like s.h.i.+on, who looked like a cool mature woman when she wasn’t doing anything that required common sense. None of those were really her type, but she was definitely a nice person, regardless.

When he came to himself, he and Kirara were eye to eye. Somehow, they’d ended up fixedly staring at each other.

“What’s wrong? Kyoro.”

Her ear-like hair twitched.

No, it was impossible for it to actually move. It just looked as if it moved, right?

After taking another chicken leg, the girl stood up.

She walked on Kyouya’s direction.

“Want some?”

She extended the chicken leg forward.

“Well… I…”

Kyouya started, looking up at the girl.

He’d heard it from Mao, s.h.i.+on and Megumi. Though Kirara was always eating meat, she had never offered to share it with anybody else.

It seemed Mao had once told Kirara to give her a chicken leg and picked one up for herself. Apparently a big fight broke out. At the time, Kyouya was still not a member of the club, so he hadn’t witnessed this great battle of beasts.

“O-okay. Thanks.”

He timidly held out his hand and accepted the present.

Kirara was staring intently at him.

Under that gaze, Kyouya opened his mouth wide and was about to bite down on the meat.

A slap came down on his hand.

“Living being. Show grat.i.tude.”

Kirara told him with a stern older sister look.

She closed her eyes and pulled her hands together in prayer. Kyouya followed suit. She never does that! In a slightly sulking mood, he thought about how he’d never seen Kirara offer a prayed to her food before.

Then he realized that all this time he’d only seen her in the middle of eating.

So that’s it. She only prayed once when she was about to start eating.
