Realizer of Death : The Reaper

Chapter 178 178

After Tenku left class 2-B and managed to escape from Kirika, he brought Kohana to the school grounds to buy some snacks after hearing the little girl was hungry. Kohana buys lots of food and drinks using the money she wins from the casino.

Tenku smiled when he saw her cute face, like a hamster that filled her mouth with lots of food. The little girl looked like her missing sister, Haruna.

"What are we going to do next, big brother?" Kohana licked the leftover snack in her hands and asked.

"Since it's already noon, we should have lunch. What do you think?" Tenku looked at Kohana and cleaned her lips with a handkerchief.

"Yes. I agree! I'm still hungry after eating those snacks." Kohana nodded vigorously.

"Then..." Tenku wanted to take Kohana to the cafeteria for lunch because Setsuka didn't make a bento today. But his smartphone rang before he could finish his sentence.

Tenku took out his smartphone and read the incoming messages. When he read the contents, he smiled slightly.

[Please come to the school rooftop. I have made a bento for you and that little girl]

"What's wrong, big brother?" Kohana asked after Tenku stopped his sentence and smiled while looking at his smartphone.

"Your sister has made a bento for us. Now she is waiting for us on the school rooftop." Tenku told her the contents of Setsuka's message.

"Yay! We're going to eat big sister's bento! Then, what are you waiting for!? Let's go now, big brother!" Kohana jumped happily and grabbed Tenku's hand excitedly.

Tenku smiled and followed the little girl. He entered the school building secretly so Kirika wouldn't find them. If the girl saw them, then it would be very troublesome. Tenku is sure Kirika came to Suisei High School for him, but he still doesn't know her true purpose.

Not long after, Tenku and Kohana arrived at the school rooftop without being found by Kirika. Tenku opened the metal door slowly and was mesmerized when he saw Setsuka. She looked so beautiful with her maid uniform fluttering in the wind showing her white and smooth thighs. Setsuka wasn't alone in that place because Kaede accompanied her.

"Big sister! Sister Kaede!" Kohana waved her hand at them. Her voice brought Tenku back to his senses.

"I'm sorry for making you wait." Tenku walked up to Setsuka and said apologetically.

"No. You don't make me wait. I just got here when I sent you a message." Setsuka replied and smiled.

Kaede was shocked when she saw the exchange between the two. The atmosphere between them changed completely and felt very intimate. Tenku and Setsuka chatted casually and looked so close.

The coldness on Setsuka's face melted instantly and was replaced with a beautiful smile. It was like the two of them were already in a romantic relationship. But Kaede heard from Setsuka that they hadn't reached that stage yet.

(I didn't expect their relationship to develop to that extent in just six months. If it happened to other girls, then it would be natural. But Setsuka was born with a cold and aloof personality. So it's difficult for her to get along with others.

It took me three years to get her to talk to me. But Tenku got along well with Setsuka in less than a year. No, it couldn't be said to be close but intimate. Although the two are still not dating, it is already impressive.

I can feel that Setsuka's feelings are getting deeper for him. Besides that, I can also see that Tenku has the same feelings as her, but he doesn't realize it yet. It looks like I'll have to give them a little push)

Kaede pondered and observed the interaction between the two. After that, she suddenly grinned after thinking of something.

"Cough! I apologize for interrupting your conversation. But my presence won't disturb your quality time, right?" Kaede suddenly said and teased Setsuka.

"What are you saying, Kaede? You don't bother us since we're only having lunch here." Setsuka blushed and replied. Then she turned her eyes to Tenku.

"You don't mind if I invite Kaede to have lunch with us, right?" Setsuka asked Tenku. Even though she was sure that Tenku wouldn't mind if Kaede joined them for lunch, she still had to ask his opinion.

Tenku was slightly surprised by Setsuka's words. He thought the girl had asked him to come to the school rooftop to give him a bento. But Tenku didn't expect that Setsuka had planned to have lunch with him.

"Of course, I don't mind. I should be the one asking that question to you. Will my presence not disturb your lunch?" Tenku asked in return.

Setsuka has known Kaede much longer than she has known Tenku, and they have often had lunch together since middle school. So the outsider in that place should be Tenku and not Kaede.

"You don't need to worry about that. I came because I wanted to have lunch with you. I'm bored if I constantly spend my lunch break in the student council office or cafeteria, especially when we're in maid uniforms. We will become the center of attention of the students. I'm fine with that, but Setsuka is different. She was uncomfortable when the men looked at her. Of course, that doesn't apply to certain people." Kaede smiled at Setsuka.

"Stop teasing me, Kaede! You'd better help me set up a place for lunch!" Setsuka's face turned even redder, and she pulled Kaede before she said something even more embarrassing to Tenku.

"Ahaha... Alright! Alright! You don't have to drag me like that." Kaede chuckled when she saw how cute Setsuka was when she was blushing.

"Then, I will also help." Tenku said.

"Don't forget about me!" Kohana added in high spirits.

Setsuka nodded in response to her little sister's words. She took out a picnic mat and a large food basket. Tenku had seen those two things when they visited lake Motosu, and he didn't expect Setsuka to bring them out at school.

After that, Kaede and the others worked together to prepare a place for their lunch. Tenku spread a picnic mat, and the three girls served food from the basket.

Setsuka didn't make a bento today. He served a variety of side dishes and desserts on many plates. It was the same as she did when she, Kohana, and Tenku went on vacation to Lake Motosu.

"This is..." Kaede was stunned when she saw the various kinds of food served before her. She felt that today's lunch was extravagant.

"Aren't you cooking too much food, Setsuka? I'm not sure we can eat all of this." Kaede glanced at her best friend and asked. She often sees Setsuka cooking at home or making a bento for school. But she only made one or two dishes at that time.

"Hmm... I thought I didn't cook too much. I also made the same amount of food when we vacationed at Lake Motosu. Isn't that right, Kohana?" Setsuka threw that question at Kohana. The little girl looked at the food before her with sparkling eyes and drooling.

"Ah, yes! Big sister made many foods when we vacationed at Lake Motosu. Isn't that right, big brother?" Kohana wiped the drool on her mouth and answered. After that, she threw that question to Tenku.

"Yeah, she's right. The amount of food now is the same as what we ate when we picnicked at Lake Motosu. In that case, We'd better enjoy our lunch now since Kohana looks quite hungry already." Tenku smiled and stroked Kohana's head.

"I agree!" Kohana quickly responded.

"Ahaha... Why are you throwing questions at each other? You three look like a family, and that makes me jealous." Kaede said to Setsuka.

"Okay, we don't need to talk about that. We should eat before lunch break is over. We still have a lot of work for today's cultural festival." Setsuka tried to divert their conversation. She tried to hide her embarrassment at Kaede's words, but her blushing face betrayed her. That made Kaede laugh with satisfaction.

"I understand! Then..." Kaede felt addicted when she saw Setsuka's expression now. She wanted to tease her again and again. Unfortunately, Kaede didn't have time for that because Setsuka's words were true. After lunch, they had to return to the maid cafe and hold a student council meeting today.

"Itadakimasu!" Setsuka and the others said in unison, and they started to enjoy their lunch.

Unlike her lunch with Tenku a week ago, Setsuka didn't dare to act aggressively this time because Kaede was with them now. She didn't mind if Kaede teased her when they were alone. But it would be unpleasant for Setsuka if her best friend spoke in front of Tenku.

"Wow... This is so delicious! Is it because your cooking skills have increased again!? Or because you made it by pouring your feelings into this food!?" Kaede opened her eyes wide when she tasted the food. She complimented her best friend's cooking skills but didn't forget to tease her.

Kaede hasn't eaten Setsuka's food for a long time and is surprised that the taste has changed drastically, much better than in the past. She could confidently say that Setsuka's food was not inferior to food cooked by professional chefs.

"If you tease me again, this will be the last time you enjoy my food." Setsuka glared at Kaede. She used the threat on her little sister, and it worked.

"Alright! I won't tease you anymore! But you should make a bento for me once in a while." Kaede said and then ate the side dishes in her bowl.

"I will do it if I have free time." Setsuka replied without even looking at Kaede. As usual, her eyes were locked on Tenku, who enthusiastically ate the food she had made.

"You have time for him but not for me." Kaede complained, but she was happy that Setsuka agreed to her request. Once a month was fine as long as he could eat such delicious food.

Setsuka just smiled when she heard Kaede's words. But then she was confused when she saw Tenku's face suddenly change.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go now." Tenku put down the bowl and quickly jumped off the school rooftop.

"That is dangerous!" Kaede said worriedly.

"Big Brothers!" Kohana screamed in panic when she saw that.

"Wait a minute..." Setsuka tried to stop him, but her sentence was interrupted by a knocking sound from the school's rooftop entrance.

"Hello! Is anybody there?" a girl said from behind the door, and Setsuka's face darkened upon hearing that voice.
