I looked at the clock hanging on the wall and noticed it was close to noon. I wasn’t starving, but I had a slight hunger pang. Just then, Himeno approached me, her hands clasped behind her back.

“Senpai, let’s have lunch together.”

“With me?”

“Everyone turned me down…”

I thought it might be workplace bullying, the type where someone is being mistreated. I looked around the department and realized it was just my unnecessary worry.

Himeno seemed to be gesturing and cheering for a friendly female colleague who often had lunch with her. I wondered what they were cheering for.

“In that case, I guess I’ll join you.”

Unable to resist Himeno’s cuteness as she rubbed her head against my shoulder like a cat, I decided to have lunch with her.

I couldn’t help but notice the empty seat next to us.

“We’re done with our morning work, but Ren hasn’t come back to the company yet.”

The chief rested his elbows on the desk, covered his forehead with his hand, and sighed.

Himeno and I exchanged glances and approached the chief. We asked him with concerned expressions.

“Chief, what’s wrong?”

“Oh, I just got a message from Kaganuma saying he’ll be heading back directly. He said to be lenient since he secured a contract. If he’s going to do that, I wish he’d let us know in advance.”

Himeno offered some cliché words, whether she was genuinely worried or not, to the chief who was burdened with a headache.

“That’s tough. Well, Chief, I’m going to have lunch with Senpai now.”

“I also plan to have lunch. I won’t let you have it your way.”

“Can I go to the rooftop first?”

“Hold on!”

“Please wait!”

Unexpectedly, we ended up on the rooftop with our arms linked together…

The company rooftop was open to employees as a place to relax, but it seemed that most people went to the company cafeteria, so it wasn’t crowded.

“That spot looks nice.”

I pointed to a bench that was empty and quiet.

With me in the middle, the chief and Himeno sat on either side. They both took out lunch boxes from their bags. The chief’s bag had a cool black-and-white camouflage pattern, while Himeno’s had a cute warm-colored flower pattern.

As for me, I only had a plastic bag. I took out an onigiri that I bought at a convenience store on my way to work.

This morning, I made excuses like feeling nauseous, but the truth is, it’s hard for me to stomach Miku’s meals as long as she keeps deceiving and betraying me. She’s probably doing her best to hide it, but I just can’t bring myself to throw away the bento she made.

“Senpai… that’s not enough. You’ll get hungry. Let me share my side dishes with you.”

The chief offered me a delicious-looking simmered taro potato with a homey aroma, whether it was a family recipe or not.

But I didn’t have chopsticks.

“Oh, it seems you don’t have chopsticks, Ren. Open your mouth. Ah~”

Realizing that, the chief used the chopsticks that were likely to have touched her beautiful lips to feed me.

*Chomp!*

“It’s delicious for one of the chief’s side dishes.”

However, before the taro potato reached my mouth, Himeno had already eaten it, savoring every bite.

“Himeno! What are you doing?”

“I’m taste-testing it! I have to check if the chief added anything weird for Senpai.”

“I stayed up all night for Ren’s sake… Ah, never mind.”

The chief had made it for me in the midst of her busy schedule… I was on the verge of tears.

What’s the point of Himeno taste-testing it? Even though she’s a noblewoman.

I shamelessly asked for the chief’s side dishes.

“Thank you very much. I’ll gladly accept them.”

“Then, I can’t let Himeno steal them again. Next time, I’ll feed you mouth-to-mouth.”

“Huh?”

“Well, if you don’t like it… I was just joking.”

“That’s right, it’s poison! It’s the lewd fluid of the chief sticking to it!”

“Don’t be foolish. Compared to Himeno’s fluid, it’s pure holy water.”

“Then, my fluid is even more pure, pure, pure!”

Ah, our department really has good communication. It’s amazing that the boss and subordinates can talk to each other like this! 

I told Himeno that I wanted to eat the chief’s side dishes, so she made a woeful expression, lowering her eyebrows like a waiting dog.

The chief skillfully used her chopsticks and brought the taro potato to my mouth. As soon as it entered my mouth, I could taste its rich flavor, and when I lightly pressed it with my tongue, it turned into a paste, leaving behind a lingering taste as it smoothly went down my throat.

“Chief! This is amazing! It’s delicious!!! It could rival a high-class restaurant!”

It made sense that even Himeno, who had probably eaten various delicious dishes, praised it.

“Ah~ Senpai, please let me have some too!”

Although it sounded like she wanted to eat Himeno herself, it was probably just a mishearing due to the slight breeze on the rooftop. Her bento had octopus-shaped sausages, which were equally adorable.

“It’s so good!”

It looked like a regular octopus sausage, but the quality of the ingredients and the effort put into cooking it were evident. The juiciness bursting out when I took a bite surpassed that of a domestic beef steak.

“Such childish dishes…”

The chief, who didn’t know the greatness of Himeno’s bento, seemed to think I was just complimenting her. She laughed oddly through her nose.

But…

Himeno sat on one side of me and eagerly offered a cute bento box to the chief.

“Oh, alright. Let me peel off this disguise. It’s deliciooouus!”

In the end, I received a treat from both of them as they praised each other’s cooking skills and vowed for further improvement.

Since Miku’s meals no longer went down well for me, I was grateful for the delicious bento from the chief and Himeno. They were the only ones I could express my gratitude to.

After enjoying a pleasant lunch together, the workplace, without Ren, continued smoothly with a cheerful atmosphere.

“Yuzuki, are you free later?”

“Why don’t you come to my place?”

As I received invitations from both the chief and Himeno, another notification popped up, informing me that Ren had shamelessly entered my house.

“I’m sorry, both of you… something urgent came up…”

I conveyed the need to make it up to them, then hurriedly went to a nearby manga café with a pre-set laptop in hand. I logged in to my avatar, “Nekone Netora,” and prepared for my first Vtuber live stream featuring NTR (netorare) content.

I selected a thumbnail that prominently displayed Nekone Netora’s character and chose to make it publicly available.

What?! 200,000 viewers already?

The stream hasn’t even started yet!

Did they all receive notifications or something? Even though it was a guerrilla stream and the loading screen was still displayed, it seemed like everyone was waiting in the nude or something. The listeners gathered so quickly.

It’s not exactly comparable, but the number of viewers was on par with world-class big artists’ live shows…

However, when I saw Ren on the camera, I burst into laughter in the small private room.

Ren, what are you doing becoming a tuna!!!
