Chapter 10 You're in a relationship? He looked at him like a pig eyeing a cabbage...

In spring, the morning sun is warm and pleasant.

As Takanashi Chika left the building carrying her sandwich lunchbox, she saw the man waiting outside—a man with beautiful blue cat eyes and a navy blue hoodie.

Scotland smiled at her; even his stubble seemed gentler when he smiled.

"morning."

"Good morning," Takanashi Chinatsu replied, looking somewhat puzzled as he handed her a three-tiered bento box.

“Gin asked me to make this.” Scotland handed the bento box to Chinatsu Takanashi, then took the small bento box from her hand and said, “It’s easy to become malnourished if you don’t eat well for a long time. I’m a pretty good cook, so I can make it for you every day if you like.”

"Really? You don't have a mission?"

“This is my mission,” Scotland said gently.

Last night, Scotland received a text message from Gin. As the head of the action group, Gin gave him the task without question.

Cooking for Chizuru Takanashi.

To take care of Chinatsu Kotori's daily life.

If possible, report any news about Takanashi Chika to him at any time.

Rationally, Scotland felt that the last point was the most important, but judging from Gin's tone, the last point seemed to be just a vague and insignificant accessory.

That's weird.

Although Scotland had long seen that Chinatsu Takanashi held a different meaning for Gin and might be Gin's weakness, isn't this too strange?

Pursuing someone is no problem, feeling sorry for your girlfriend not eating well is no problem, and finding someone to help with cooking is certainly no problem either.

but……

At least deliver it yourself!

What is Gin thinking? Why send him to deliver food? Isn't he worried that Takanashi Chinatsu will fall for him?

If you're going to be so attentive, at least do it yourself! Even if Gin claims he made the breakfast with love himself, Scotland wouldn't dare to call him out on it!

Scotland didn't understand, but he couldn't refuse, so he still sent the breakfast over.

“Gin cares about you a lot.” Scottish said dryly, trying to say a few good words for Gin, but the scene was so strange that he couldn’t understand it at all.

Chinatsu's expression was also unusually strange.

"You care about me, so you asked me to bring you breakfast?" Takanashi Chinatsu was completely baffled; this just didn't seem right!

Scotland fell silent immediately.

Ah...this...it seems...

Okay, that doesn't make any sense at all.

"Anyway, there's a hearty bento box." Scotland simply let go of her thoughts and gently winked at Chinatsu Takanashi.

Takanashi Chika smiled, then nodded to him and continued on her way to school.

I really don't understand what Gin is thinking. Occasionally, Chinatsu Takanashi would have such thoughts.

University classes are boring, but my classmates said that the school will invite the police to give a safety lecture in the afternoon, which is more interesting.

At noon, when Takanashi Chinatsu had lunch with Touya and Yukito again, the lavish three-tiered bento box instantly dazzled the two of them.

"Wow, it's deep-fried tempura!"

"There's even steak and tuna slices! You brat, you're eating really well."

"For dessert, there are cherry tomatoes and mango cake, Chinatsu-chan. Did you prepare all of this by yourself?"

"Don't be silly, Yukito, he can't cook at all."

Yukito and Touya chatted back and forth, while Takanashi Chinatsu stared blankly at her sumptuous bento box.

That's way too much!

With a balanced meal of meat and vegetables, plus dessert and drinks, is Scotland a chef? Or a nutritionist?

Although she guessed that Scotland, following Gin's orders, must have prepared something extraordinary, China was still surprised by how thorough the preparations were.

"It doesn't look like it was bought. Don't you know what's inside?" Touya noticed immediately and leaned closer to question him, "A heart-shaped bento? Although there are no hearts in it, Chika, could someone be chasing you?"

For a moment, Chizuru Takanashi didn't know how to answer.

I guess...maybe.

But things were a little different from what Touya had imagined. It was Gin who was pursuing her, but it was Scotland who was preparing the lunchbox.

How strange, they're so strange.

I have a feeling that I should never say these words.

"Silly girl." Touya's words were extremely sharp: "Someone like you who can't cook is easily lured away by a few bento boxes. Your soul must have been stolen by such a lavish lunch, right?"

"You'd be the one to be seduced by a meal!" Takanashi Chinatsu glared at him. Was she really that shallow? Besides, even if she were seduced, it would be by Scotland. Even if every man in the world died, she would never like Gin!

After observing for a while and confirming that Takanashi Chinatsu hadn't succumbed to the temptation of a bento box, Touya breathed a sigh of relief and quickly grabbed a piece with his chopsticks: "Anyway, give me this shrimp."

"You bastard Touya, put it down!"

"It's eaten! Awooo!"

"Chinatsu-chan, may I have some?"

“Of course.” Takanashi Chinatsu smiled at Yukito even while fighting with Touya, and then pinched Touya’s mouth, trying to pry the shrimp out of Touya’s throat.

"Hey, this is indecent assault! Doesn't anyone care if a woman is harassing a man?" After swallowing a shrimp, Touya deliberately raised his voice and shouted.

"Stop talking nonsense! You're the one who stole my things! Spit it out, spit it out!" Takanashi Chinatsu grabbed Touya by the neck and started shaking him.

Touya tilted his head to the side as she pulled him, and cried out listlessly, "I've been strangled to death, I'm dead." He stuck out his tongue.

"You bastard!" Takanashi Chinatsu was even angrier; this bastard was practically provoking her.

Touya couldn't help but laugh out loud. A shadow fell over him, and when he looked up, he saw a man wearing sunglasses looking down at him.

The three people sitting on the cushions were stunned for a moment. Takanashi Chinatsu was the first to react and excitedly shouted, "Matsuda-nii!"

When Matsuda Jinpei saw Takanashi Chinatsu again, she was still full of energy, and his smile was much more relaxed.

"Were you bullied? Or were you the one bullying others?" Matsuda Jinpei joked.

Chinatsu immediately let go of Touya and explained, "No, I was just playing around with my friend. We're childhood friends."

Matsuda Jinpei's smile faltered slightly.

Childhood friends...

He also had a childhood friend.

Soon, a smile returned to his face, and Matsuda Jinpei said with satisfaction, "That's great, you two have a really good relationship."

"Matsuda-nii, what brings you to school? Want to grab something to eat?" Takanashi Chinatsu handed over the bento box.

Matsuda Jinpei waved his hand, smiled, and squatted down next to Takanashi Chinatsu, saying, "I have a lecture at school this afternoon, so I came early to familiarize myself with the environment."

"So the police officer who gave the safety lecture was Matsuda-san! What a coincidence!" Takanashi Chinatsu was even happier, and she pulled Matsuda Jinpei's arm to introduce him to the two of them: "Touya, Yukito, this is Matsuda-san, a very capable police officer!"

Matsuda Jinpei glanced at Takanashi Chinatsu's hand that was around his arm in surprise, but did not struggle.

"Thank you for the bento." Touya said, subtly sizing up Matsuda Jinpei. This guy is several years older than Chinatsu, right? He thinks he can just steal my little cabbage with a bento box?

Matsuda Jinpei frowned and said, "That wasn't prepared by me."

Touya's eyes immediately showed even more disapproval. He was planning to take advantage of someone without even preparing a bento box?

A note from the author:

Touya: I do not agree to this marriage!

Touya: Do you think some pig outside can just root up the cabbage I painstakingly raised?

How about tearing up the Clow Cards with your bare hands?
