4-60: The True Nature of Earthlings (1/3)

Because he is someone(something) that exists within the extremity of that.

After visiting Nara Park and Todaiji Temple, then listening to an interesting story from a monk from Saru Temple, it was now time for Garesto Academy to use the line at Nara Station to go to their next destination, Kyoto City.

They were currently eating ekiben while on the train.

Hamu hamu, amu, goku, amu, ngu. Fresh made is good, but bentos have their own charm, Shinichi said.

This was an exclusive route prepared just for their field trip, so the trip wont take them long.

In fact, they would need less than an hour to get to their destination, but they were so busy during their earlier tour that they couldnt find the time for lunch.

They could have taken time out to eat, but that would have delayed their schedule by too much, so they chose to have it while on the train instead. This would also allow them to have a taste of Japanese culture.

The chirashi is as good as ever, I see. Get me the makunouchi next.

Kyui.

Even the students from countries without a culture for bentos and the Garestonians were favorable to the idea, but no one was as favorable as Shinichi.

Thats not the appetite of someone who was so sick just awhile ago, Icchi.

Myuhi, who had already finished her own lunch, looked at the boy with dismay. Already, he had piled up six empty lunch boxes, but he showed no signs of stopping. After passing his seventh lunch box to the amaryllis, he was about to start his eighth.

The school at most provided two lunches per person, but he bought more with his own money.

Its precisely because I was sick that I have to eat like this. I need to get my strength back immediately or Ill get tired.

You know, Icchi, I wonder why Sometimes youre more Garestonian than Earthling.

He expended more energy while he could in order to compensate for the expended energy.

Such expenditure of energy during peace could result in a lack of energy when an emergency occurred.

That sort of thinking and the way he seemed to immediately digest what he ate reminded Myuhi too much of the warrior-class of Garesto.

Fu fu, in any case, its good that hes healthy now. I think its wonderful how he doesnt leave even a single grain behind. Food is important and ought to be consumed thoroughly! Aristel said.

Wow, Ari-chan, spoken just like the lord of a territory, but you know This guy here is just a glutton.

Aristel watched from right beside as he ate and savored his food.

She seemed impressed from the bottom of her heart, but Myuhi just felt as though she was seeing Shinichi in an overly positive light.

But of course, Aristel wasnt entirely wrong.

Ngu Hina, you make it sound so bad. Even I would like to have a normal persons appetite, but my overall stamina is just too small! No matter how much I conserve my energy, mogu mogu, I use it all up right away, mogu mogu.

As he finished his eighth lunch set, he resentfully pointed out that his capacity was too small compared to them.

You were suffering so much, yet look at you now. Dont blame me if I find myself thinking that way Also, you shouldnt talk while eating.

She was smiling as she said that with dismay, but her eyes were searching earnestly.

She was there for him when he was sick, but when he asked her to tour in his place, she couldnt say no.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

After all, he was the one that wanted to visit that temple the most.

Because of that she suspected that he mightve been acting, but it seemed that wasnt the case.

But Shinichi knew that there was more to it than just that, so he didnt dig into it any further.

Both girls knew that other people wouldnt be able to calm down if they were around, and Aristel also wanted to be able to rest her mind while on the train.

Shinichi knew all too well how exhausting it was to have to always be wary of your surroundings.

I know it cant be helped, but whats with this lineup full of interpersonal problems?

Frire wore a complicated look, as though she couldnt figure out whether to be sad that there were so many people with problems or happy that there were people just like her.

The noble lady smiled, the boy shrugged his shoulder, the fox girl was all grins, but

Isnt it fine? I mean you might not actually have it all together, but you all look fine on the outside, so

Being told that by someone who has no intention of even fixing that doesnt make me happy

Thats true, Shinichi laughed as he piled up his tenth lunch box.

He opened a plastic bottle and poured tea down his throat, then exhaled loudly as though hed been refreshed.

Unfortunately, he wasnt actually full, hed just merely finished everything hes purchased.

Hmm, looks like you really are fine now. But in the end, just what was that?

When Frire saw how he was acting, she seemed relieved and asked him that question, a question that stemmed from her sense of duty as a teacher to know if he had any issues regarding his health.

Shinichi could feel her sincerity and concern from the way she looked at him, so he groaned and responded sincerely as well.

It was one of his traits to respond sincerely and honestly to anyone who approached him with such a sincere reason.

Hmm, how to explain? Putting it simply, holy places like that with a long history behind them are bad for me.

Thats why despite the perfunctory tone of his voice, he honestly confessed about his weakness.

But of course, that was also him trying to make use of peoples tendency to be skeptical.

Unfortunately

I see, so it was a problem of location.

Huh, Fudonecchi, are you really going to accept that just like that!?

Frire accepted the reason he gave without questioning it.

Myuhi was shocked and threw a tsukkomi, while Shinichi was so shocked he couldnt even pick up his jaw.

Hmm, so youre also bad with places where the air doesnt feel right.

Apparently, Frire found his answer to be a natural fit with her.

This is why people that live according to their intuition are so problematic Shinichi said.

Is that really all there is to this? Myuhi said.

Myuhi looked at Frire with a complicated mix of jealousy and envy, but Frire just tilted her head.

Frires intuition indeed played a part in her accepting Shinichis answer, but beyond that, she also trusted him deeply.

Though he might hide things from her and fool her from time to time, Shinichi would never deceive her with malicious intentions.

Thats why she was able to sense the sincerity() hidden behind his words.
