Chapter 257: [Bentou]
"Oh, it's not a loving wife bento!? It's really different, okay!?"
What's with all the misunderstanding because of this!?
But I already knew she was posting photos on Twitter.
Checking my oshi's tweets is a duty.
However, lately, with browsing restrictions, it's been disrupting my daily routine.
Anyway, forget about that.
"Um, right, let's get back to the topic!"
What were we talking about again?
Wasn't it about Iroha-chan liking Ogu too much?
Right, it was about how the reason for the American stay was a "honeymoon" (U.S.)
"No one was talking about that!? It was about the cafeteria!"
Why does the comment section always unite at times like this!?
I make similar comments when I'm on the viewer's side!
However, Ogu and I definitely aren't in that kind of relationship not yet anyway.
But the cafeteria seems quite fancy.
They must drink tea and stuff.
If Japanese school cafeterias were this fancy
"No, it's not like a tea time vibe. It's more like a big food court. However, there's one clear difference from Japanese school cafeterias. It's insanely spacious."
That's the American quality for you.
Of course, it varies by school.
At least in the high school I attend, there's no need for a "seat-grabbing game".
I remember in my past life as a student, I was wandering around with a tray because I couldn't find a seat.
On the contrary, there are enough seats for everyone, so it's become almost like assigned seating.
While classes may be scattered, gathering at the same table for lunch is the norm.
"The menu had burgers, fries, nachos, and tacos. But I haven't eaten any because I bring my bento."
If it were just for myself, I wouldn't bother with the hassle of homemade. But since I have to make lunch for Ogu too. There's no choice.
You don't have to eat cafeteria food. It's terrible (U.S.)
Why don't they make it a bit more delicious? (U.S.)
I envy Ogu who gets to eat Iroha's homemade bento every day (US)
In America, are people who bring their bento like Iroha-chan a minority?
There are people who bring their own, but it's totally different from bento' in Japan (US)
Mine is free, but it's so bad I have to bring my bento (US)
"This isn't like Japanese bento no wonder. Even though I just made it simple, it attracts so much attention."
It's just a typical obento packed with whatever's available, common in Japan.
"But when I bring it here, girls who eat together always bombard me with exaggerated questions like What's that!'" or A jewelry box!?'"
Is that what you call "simple"!? (U.S.)
I thought Iroha put tremendous love and effort into making it for her beloved wife (US)
Isn't it that with love, you don't feel the effort is "that much"?
"No, really! I didn't put that much effort into it!"
Obento I thought it was just a fantasy in anime, but it's actually real! (U.S.)
Every time bento' appears in anime, I shed tears of envy (U.S.)
My obento is just crackers and sandwiches in a Tupperware (U.S.)
"Come to think of it, maybe everyone was using Tupperware."
It's better than my Lunchables every day! (U.S.)
What's that?
They're sold in packs bento-like thing? (U.S.)
I used to eat those with small pizza crusts, pizza sauce, salami, and cheese (U.S.)
Are they that good?
Maybe slightly better than middle school cafeteria food, I guess (US)
It seems everyone had some kind of grudge about their lunch.
Thinking about it, Japanese school lunches might have been really high-level.
I don't have any particular likes or allergies, so I never had trouble.
"Oh. Also, lunch breaks weren't really lunch breaks. Sometimes I eat in the classroom during class."
During class!?
I usually just ate apples during class (U.S.)
That's a common sight in America, right? (U.S.)
It's not just students; even teachers do it.
They'd nibble on apples during class, or sometimes students eat lunch while others are taking tests.
"It's quite interesting comparing meal situations in different countries."
But Iroha-chan, you mustn't eat food given by others too much (U.S.)
Also, don't take your eyes off your drinks (U.S.)
There are incidents of people getting drugged every year (U.S.)
"Eh. Ogu told me to bring a water bottle, but I never thought there'd be such reasons."
Good job, Ogu (U.S.)
Especially cute girls like Iroha-chan are more likely targets (US)
Be careful enough (U.S.)
Even if I got targeted, I have excellent bodyguards.
In fact, the other party might end up worse off!
***
It was right after that stream.
I received a call from Mai.
"Ogu-san is so unfair~! Mai has never received a handmade bento from Iroha-chan!?"
"Well, you had school lunch until we entered high school."
"Ugh! I can't wait until we enter the same high school!"
"Why am I assumed to be the one making it!? I'm not Mai's mom, you know!?"
"Then, even if it's Papa~!"
"That's no good either!?"
Angu Ogu, it seems like things have gotten troublesome again!
Anyway, for tomorrow's lunch, even if it's tampered with, you don't have the right to complain, okay?
