*Ding dong ding dong*
Ah! Lunch break!
Echoing through the hallway, the sound of the school bell rings in each classroom. I can hear it in my ears.
You know what this means!
It means the time has finally come to enjoy something I have never experienced before! Finally, my lunch date!! WHOOOOOOO!!!!
*Ahem*
I need to calm down first. Many of you are probably cursing my wimpiness because of my overreaction. I understand that this is too much of a simp I am being. But damn! My spring has finally come after an eternity of loneliness. You would not get it unless you were in my shoes.
When the school bell rings, the shadow teacher quickly wraps things up and heads outside. Its job is finished.
Why does the shadow teacher have to be so fast? Because the lunch break is also the second scene for Rachel and Han. As for Kurokawa, it is not yet her time to shine.
"All rise!" Laura stands up and does her class representative job.
"Bow!" And the rest of the class follows.
Then, she turns back at me.
"Wait for me a little, okay!"
Of course, Laura's gesture has been incredibly off. Never in the past iterations that she been so friendly to me, yet it is too late to care anymore. Therefore I will wing it this time. After all, maybe there will never be a chance for me to get such treatment from her again.
"I'll wait!" Thinking about the reality I am in, I nod at her.
The girl returns with her shining smile. Her chocolate eyes light up similar to stars.
*Kuh*
I swear I just got a major heart attack from the sudden sugar load in my bloodstream. I have no idea why Laura is like this, but it is a nice change after so many trials.
After that small gesture, the class rep sits down to put her things away. Using this brief moment to observe my surrounding, I notice a couple of things.
Around the class, unintelligible murmuring sounds also start as the students start going out or grouping up.
Han should be waking up from his usual school nap at this point. Since "I Will Survive With A Harem Ending" is an eroge, there is no need to focus on school work that much. It is only the background for the main story. This is why Han is almost always asleep except for some events.
"Ugh! What time is it?"
Right on time, Han. The guy brings his head up. I can see drools are still on one corner of his mouth.
He will not wipe it himself, though. Rachel will gladly do that.
Hearing Han's voice, Rachel looks at him. A gigantic bento box is already on her desk. That crazy woman is really good at housekeeping, so a bento box of that caliber is nothing to her. Until now, Han has been taken care of almost entirely by her. From Han's laundry to food or waking him up in the morning, Rachel does all of the duties of a wife.
Lucky bastard!
"It's about time for our lunch, Han." His childhood friend smiles at him lovingly. "Here, dry your mouth." She throws a piece of tissue at the guy.
Hey! Rachel! Use your handkerchief! Is that how you should be treating the man of your dreams?!
I mean, she just tossed it like a piece of worthless paper. How is she going to get Han's love like that?
"Oh, thanks, Rachel! Yeah, I'm so hungry I can eat a cow. Let's go have lunch." Han catches the piece of tissue in midair and wipes off the trails of drool on his mouth.
Scratching his head, he stands up slowly. He looks sleepy, still.
"Should we invite the guys?"
Han calls out to his friends. Classmate A and Classmate B are making their way out to the canteen, trying to avoid the childhood friend.
"I wonder..."
Rachel's smile turns colder than ice right that instant. There is no way that crazy housewife would want a third party joining her lunch with Han.
"Hahaha! No need! We are going down to the canteen anyway." Classmate A laughs wryly. Cold sweats run down his forehead. Poor guy. I told you this already, but Classmate A will die sometime in the future because of his sister. Soon after, his sister will also be killed by Rachel.
Just want to make sure you remember, that's all.
Before Classmate B can utter a word, Classmate A has already pulled him out of the class. The two guys run away with literal smokes trails behind them.
"Aw, man! They always leave before me." The main character says while trying to call his friends back.
Why in the goddamn world would you want your friends to be with you and your future wife?!
"No worries, Han. We should respect others by letting people do what they want." Rachel also stands up with the bento box in her hands.
Oh really, Rachel?
Letting people do what they want, or letting YOU do what you want? The hypocrisy of this person is outstanding.
These two people are absolutely PERFECT together. I ship.
*Stare*
What did I do?!
"Should we invite Kurokawa to lunch, as well?" Han walks by the black-haired girl.
Do not be annoyed by his actions. This is according to the script. Han needs to spread his kindness to everyone once in a while to let the heroines know he cares about them. Do not forget, guys. His character has the world "kind" in it. I guess he has a compulsive disorder where he has to give kindness.
Ugh!
Immediately, Kurokawa waves her hand, saying no.
"You don't have to worry about me. I have my lunch sorted out already."
This is normal, though. At this point in the game, Han and Kurokawa still have not received a boost in their relationship. They are still merely acquaintances, so it is normal for Kurokawa to reject his offer.
I will tell you the story of that event later.
Boy, oh boy! Is it juicy!
"Oh! Okay, then! Let's go to the roof, Rachel. It should be nice and cool up there. Do you still have the key?"
*Tingling*
Rachel takes a key out from the purse and smiles.
"Great! You're the best!" He compliments her.
The roof. Where all protagonists have to go to create their stories.
Have you ever wondered why everything has to be on the roof?
Why not somewhere with just fewer people? For example, at the back of the school, under the sakura tree, etc.
Because it is easier to draw. Just staple the sky and some lines for the ground. That is pretty much it! The back of the school and under the sakura tree are places of confessions, not regular romcom backgrounds.
By the way, many things will happen underneath the sakura tree. You just have to wait.
Well, that is on the creator's side.
On the storyline's side, Han and Rachel can share everything easier without being watched by others sitting on that roof. They can talk about hopes and dreams and even share secrets. Rachel can be a doting girl while having Han all to herself.
Almost forgot.
Sex.
A rooftop is a good place for sex.
Rough, mindless, nonstop sex.
Not now, though. Today it will still be an ordinary lunch without any special events.
Oops! I am getting sidetracked again! Sorry about that.
After Han has walked by, Kurokawa is still not moving. Even though the bookworm has put the items on the desk away, Kurokawa will not move anywhere. She enjoys lunchtime with a book next to her meal. With Rachel and Han around, she will not be able to read them.
His presence is not enough for her to sacrifice her hobby in dark and gore fantasy novels at this stage.
Suddenly, I hear someone calling my name.
"Hey, C. Thanks for waiting!"
It is Laura. She is next to my desk.
"Why don't we have a nice walk around the school?"
She combs her hair to the back of her ear while leaning a little towards the right. Right after, the class rep puts both of her arms behind her and bends a little forward.
*Guh*
I feel shot in the chest by her charming and graceful gestures.
Ah, class rep. It is time for our lunch date, I see.
I must tell you one thing, though.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO NEXT!!!!!
SEND HELP ASAP!!!
