Ordinary people can also be the protagonist in a comic strip

Realizing this, Wu Tina hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage and walked over.

as predicted.

When Lorraine, who was not far away, noticed her approaching, he immediately showed a look of joy and stood up and waved to her.

[Hey, you are waiting for me after all? ]

Wu Tina was a little glad that she didn't choose to take a detour because of social phobia, otherwise the other party would not be able to wait for her and would definitely sit there alone until dark, right?

When you think about it this way, it’s quite pitiful.

-

When the distance between two people is shortened to the point of being face to face.

With a warm and friendly smile on his face, Lorraine handed the lunch box in his hand to the other party with both hands and thanked him.

"I've been waiting for you. Thank you for your lunch box. This is the most delicious lunch box I've ever had in this world."

"Eh???"

Does that mean her bento is the most delicious in the world?

Isn't this too exaggerated?

Wu Tina felt a little embarrassed, but she took the lunch box handed back by the other party and replied with a little joy, "Actually, it's just a very ordinary lunch box. There's no need to praise it to that extent."

"No, I'm serious."

Are you serious?!

Is her bento really that delicious?

She has been eating it for so many years, how come she didn't notice it?

If my mother heard this, she would definitely be very happy, after all, the bento she made herself was praised as the most delicious bento in the world.

Wu Tina thought so.

-

Lorraine's voice sounded again.

"I have carefully cleaned the lunch box. Now, I return it to its original owner."

"It's okay if you don't have to be so formal. I thought you would throw it away after eating it."

"This lunch box has been with you for quite a while, right?"

"Ah, well, it did take longer."

Wu Tina has always liked this lunch box and has been using it for several years.

I vaguely remember that this lunch box was given to her by her mother.

So I keep using it.

After hearing her words, Lorraine also replied with a smile.

"Then you can't throw it away. Every old item carries a lot of unique memories. Whether it's good or bad, I think they are all very important. It's better to return them to you as much as possible."

"Thank you."

Wu Tina was really happy to see that her things were treated so cherished by the other party.

Perhaps this man was not as bad as she had once imagined.

The reason why I fought with others in the first place.

It should be due to many special reasons, right?

She thought so.

-

"Since the things have been returned to their original owners, I won't bother you anymore. I wish you a happy life. Goodbye."

After delivering the lunch box.

Lorraine said this, gave a friendly smile, and turned away.

But at this moment.

Wu Tina looked at the figure that was about to leave in the sunset, and suddenly stretched out her hand to keep him, shouting, "Um..., please wait a moment!"

"Ok?"

"Can you tell me...your name?"

"Eh?"

"Ah, that..., if it's inconvenient, forget it, um, I'm sorry..."

"Lorraine, this is my name."

"Lorraine..."

Wu Tina repeated the name in her mouth, and seeing the other person's smile reflected in her eyes, she also became bolder, raised a smile, and responded, "Hiiragi Wu Tina, this is my name, please teach me."

Lorraine remembered the same thing.

"Then see you later, Miss Wu Tina."

"Will we meet again?"

"It's not good to be associated with someone like me."

"Mr. Lorraine... is he a bad guy?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't think a bad guy would wash the lunch box so clean and then return it to me."

"It's better to be more cautious towards strange men, Miss Wu Tina."

That's all for this.

Lorraine's footsteps did not stop. In the sunset, he gradually went away and disappeared from Wu Tina's sight.

Looking at the direction the other person left.

Wu Tina was still standing there in a daze, with the other person's gentle voice echoing in her mind, and she felt a little strange.

-

at this time.

She accidentally shook the lunch box in her hand and heard a colliding sound inside.

"Ok?"

Is there anything else in the lunch box?

She is curious.

He casually opened the lunch box that he had lost again. The moment he opened it, he saw two chocolate energy bars that seemed to be bought from a convenience store lying inside.

There was also a small note next to it.

There is a short line of text written in clear handwriting on it.

【I wish you a happy life, kind lady. 】

Looking at the small note in my hand.

Do not know why……

Wu Tina couldn't help but laugh out loud. It seemed that the other party had left her a small gift of thanks, and she was very hungry now.

Pick up one of the chocolate energy bars, unwrap it, and put it in your mouth.

Ok……

Really delicious.

For the first time, she felt that the chocolate energy bars sold in convenience stores were so delicious and left a lingering taste.

……

……

[End of memories]

-

Thinking back to when the two of them first met.

Wu Tina couldn't help but sigh. Four months had passed without her noticing. Time passed so quickly. She clearly remembered that for several days afterwards, every time she used that lunch box to eat, she would remember that it was a lunch box used by a man, and then she would fall into an inexplicable shy mood.

Not only has the lunch box been used, but the chopsticks must have been used as well, right?

Although it was cleaned very well, Wu Tina would feel very shy every time she thought about it.

After all, for her, this kind of thing...

It's all the first time.

Wu Tina knew.

From then on, Brother Lin's figure was completely imprinted in her mind and could not be erased. After all, every time she ate her lunch box, she would think of him.

-

The calendar on the desk catches the eye.

Isn't tomorrow the weekend?

Wu Tina suddenly noticed this.

"Brother Lin must still be worried about building a new home, right?"

"It just so happens that there's nothing special happening tomorrow."

"Why don't you go over and help? Brother Lin will be very happy, right? Oh, right! - Let's make some bento boxes and bring them over. This time, make them yourself, and bake a new and better batch of cookies and send them over for Brother Lin to try."

Thinking of this, Wu Tina suddenly became full of energy.

-

Early the next morning.

She got up very early and started busying herself in the kitchen so happily that her mother thought she saw a ghost.

"Wutina? What are you doing in the kitchen so early in the morning on the weekend?"

"Ah..., um..., making bento..."

"Making lunch? You want to go out?"

"Uh, um."

"Two lunch boxes, for whom?"

"Ah, this..., keep it a secret..."

Seeing that her daughter was mysterious and unwilling to say anything.

Mom laughed out loud.

"It's for Brother Lin anyway."

"Eh!!!——Why do you know this, mom?"

"It seems my daughter has reached this age too."

"What are you talking about, Mom?"

"Remember to add more meat and vegetables. Your brother Lin loves them."

"Ah??? Mom, how do you even know this?"

"Keep it a secret~"

"How can this be!——"

well.

Wu Tina's good mood disappeared in an instant. What she was more concerned about now was why her mother knew so much about Brother Lin's affairs!

Mom smiled but said nothing.
