[Extra] Making Rose's lunchbox


That day, Rose was busy in her kitchen.

She usually eats home delivery services and prepared foods purchased at local supermarkets. 

The cooking area, which had no evidence of being used, was dusty until today.

 It's use was limited, at best to boil water for a cup of noodles.

This has changed and all the equipment is now in full operation. 

I had to go to the same place by procuring and wearing a new apron.

A pot or frying pan is set on the stove to steam it.

Ingredients purchased at high-end supermarkets are lined up on the counter, and colorful vegetables and meat are waiting for their turn.

It's a very nice kitchen that fits in with a large living space.

Unlike that of ordinary households, the wide layout is an island type with a cooking table in the center.

 The area around the stove is also spacious, and the refrigerator is large with French door type.

" ... This looks good." 

The soup has been cooking for a few hours now, confirming its taste and smiling.

It's been a few hours since I started boiling. It's not poor quality.


302



I started to move around in a hurry. It is a product that has been put into great effort.

After confirming the result, Rose started the next dish.


303


It had already been several hours since she started working there. 

After school, she went to the grocery store and has been in the kitchen ever since, until almost the end of the day. 

What drives her passion so much is to make lunch boxes for her loved ones. 

Nishino lost his financial freedom after the graduation trip.

Daily meals are also provided in kind.

For him, she was making a lunch box to eat at school.

"I'm sure he wouldn't say it's bad ... "

The next day, Rose smiled with a creepy smile, imagining the sight of two people side by side on the rooftop spreading their lunch.

It's a must for her to attend the same school as him

It was a great event. Thanks to the rope, the enthusiasm was extraordinary.

Naturally, her feelings go ahead, and she begins to add hidden flavors to her dishes. 

" ...... Fufu, Ufufufufu"

A glass container taken out of nowhere.

The transparent liquid contained in it is poured into a pot hung on the stove .

Watching her slowly mix with the soup , she smiles even more.


304


Having prepared rice cakes at Nishino's home before her trip abroad, Rose was already getting a taste for the adventurous side of cooking. 

It was in a good condition.

Thanks to this, every single dish she prepared today was, without exception, filled with her love. 

The soup and liquid are completely mixed.

After confirming that there was no change in taste or aroma, her consciousness shifted to another. 

"Well, next time ... "

In my mind, the contents of the lunch box are gradually filled with food.

One item to leave.

" ... ... "

Rose suddenly noticed shortly after opening the refrigerator triumphantly.

There was a leak in the ingredients that I had bought in advance.

The number of ingredients on the shelves has been reduced, and it seems that she has noticed even more.

 It is the last dish, Yayoi ginger to accompany the yellowtail teriyaki.

Sweet and sour pickles combined with lower processing of fish only, was considered trying to pepper ginger, could not find the bottom line of the arrow ginger.

" ... I 'm in trouble."

If it was something you could get at a convenience store, you could immediately go buy it.

However, no matter where you go to stores in Japan, you won't find Yayoi ginger.

Her view is that even if you can get it, the root ginger may not be the best.


305


So Rose had no choice but to call the supermarket, which is open until midnight in Tokyo, from one end to the other.

Do you have Yayoi ginger? Are you dealing with Yayoi ginger?

Next we put in touch with to the next from.

But unfortunately I didn't get any good answers.

" ... "

Rose didn't have the option of giving up on the last dish.

Even if the fee is not accompanied by ginger, yellowtail teriyaki is possible.

However, because of his beloved personality, it was her personality that made her want to prepare anything.

Midnight tension

The chef operates the phone and makes a call to another place.

The target number was connected after waiting for five calls.

" ... What are you going to do at this time ? "

The other party is Francisca.

Judging from his mood-like voice, it seemed that she woke up while she was sleeping.

However, regardless of this, Rose continues his words.

Now she is full of her head by adding ginger to the teriyaki of yellowtail to enjoy the lunch time with Nishino .

"I 'm asking you no good, but do you have ginger in your house ? "

"Huh ? What do you mean ? "


306


"Yayo ginger"

" ....... Rose-chan, you mean I wonder are half asleep ? "

"There's ? Not there ? "

"You dare to ask my eating habits ? "

"Yeah, it was rude "

We understand that there is no mercenary, immediately call was finished.

Francisca had a straightforward feeling over the phone that she would call me in the middle of the night.

That's exactly right.

However, her irritation does not reach the person in question.

Rose's hand picks up another number from the address book.

Immediately press the call button to start the call.

This time, after waiting for about 10 calls, there was a reaction to the other party.

"... Rose, what time do you think it is now?"

Chairwoman, even in comparison with Francisca of still it was a sleepy voice.

She was curled up in her futon when she was already sleeping. 

Forcibly, it depends on the field caused by the ringtone of the terminal .

" Is there a Yayoi ginger in your kitchen ? "


307


"Huh ? "

"Yayu ginger. You are Japanese, but don't you know Yayoi ginger ? "

" ... ... "

I felt like I was ridiculed by a roundabout way, and the chairwoman was disappointed.

The refrigerator contains Yayoi ginger that his father picks with a drink.

She said several times at the supper that she couldn't bear to bite with miso.

When I eat is recommended, certainly was delicious.

The chairwoman is a woman who understands the taste of adults.

However, the situation where she was unilaterally disturbed by her sleep made her a little mean.

" Are there ? No ? One is enough."

" ... No."

"Yes, I'm sorry ."

Rose, who missed the time, was cut off.

Thanks to her, the chairwoman of the committee is the one who does not understand.

I can't help wondering if she and I are close enough to each other to be able to help each other in the kitchen.

I put the quilt back on, wondering about this and that.

Meanwhile, the blonde Lolita is in a hurry to procure Yayoi ginger.

" ....... "


308


Until half an hour ago, she had a picture in her mind of the perfect bento.

Now it seemed somewhat faded by the lack of ginger to accompany the teriyaki yellowtail.

If it had been a meal for myself, I would not have been so conscious of it.

So she quickly finished preparing the fish, and with the exception of the problematic ginger, she made all the necessary preparations for making a lunch . 

Only a simple work place to leave, write packed immediately cuisine in lunch boxes finish the work before  

"The more adversity, the more love you get."

She changes from her apron to her work clothes and leaves the house, saying something incomprehensible.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

After getting a taxi, Rose went to one of the most famous department stores in the city.

In the basement of the store, there was an unmistakable fresh food section.

It was a large shop with a large selection of fresh produce, which she was sure would be available there.

Of course, unlike a convenience store, the opening hours are long past.

But she had found love and she was not going to give up.


309


" ... That's okay."

I sneaked into the part of the interior through the employee's door.

The goal is a section that handles vegetables on the first basement floor.

For her accustomed to this kind of behavior, it felt like a simple task of sneaking in and getting one product for a few hundred yen .

It was a simple task for her to sneak in and pick up a few hundred yen worth of goods.

And if all else failed, she could always turn to Francisca for a financial solution. It would not be cheap, but she still wanted the Yayoi ginger.

She wanted to create the perfect lunch box for her beloved Nishino, the final piece of the puzzle.

With this background, she entered the fresh food section with great enthusiasm.

Her whole body was covered with a black rubber suit and his face was hidden by a face mask.

On top of this, he was wearing a work uniform borrowed from a locker in an employee's changing room.

His feet were in the blind spot of the surveillance camera It only takes a few minutes to move around. 

"Fufufu, there it is!"

When I see the products displayed at the vegetable counter, a smile comes to my face.

Yayoi ginger was lined up alongside other root vegetables.

Kintoki ginger from Aichi prefecture.

"This, this, I wanted this."

Just to do say so m she is reaching to the goods.

There's a lot of vegetables lined up in the vegetable section, so this is


310


There is no security either. At best, a transparent vinyl for cold storage is hung on it.

She received a few good-looking items and carefully placed them in a vinyl storage bag .

By putting this in a backpack with a change of clothes, the goal was successfully achieved. After that, no one can find it and just escape from the place.

" ... I got it easier than I expected."

Muttering without telling anyone, she returns her heels.

This time I started walking in the store to escape to the outdoors.

Watch of precious metals and brand products, such as bags, different from the floor that expensive products are treated, the basement of the vegetable aisle is the number of surveillance cameras also a rather less.

Thanks to her, she was able to move between floors without much effort .

Return to the original road without danger.

The first floor I visited, near the employee aisle.

Suddenly, I saw something moving in her sight.

" ... ... "

Like her, she is someone who has turned her whole body into black.

I had a large bag hanging down, and I could see him wandering over there and wandering around here , checking the surroundings without being busy.

It seems to be a man from the physique.

Wearing a cap.


311


The age is uncertain because the face cannot be confirmed.

First of all, he was a person who looked like a thief.

" ... I 'm sorry,"

Rose thought after confirming the appearance.

Her eyes seemed very unreliable when she seemed unfamiliar with her appearance.

 If he was caught at this time, it could affect the ginger hunter who was also sneaking in at the same time .

" .... ... "

She had two options. Ignore or get involved.

 "I don't know what to do if left unattended ... "

After a little thought, Rose decided to choose the second.  

To suppress the feelings before I go any further toward the lunch making, her steps are moving in such a way as to wrap around to the rear of the target.

 It's a quickness that doesn't make you aware of it even though it's in the dark.

Yet it has such aware of her existence against the stomach opponent, approached sound without any in the whirlwind.

Then, when the man's attention moved to the front, he put a knife in his neck.

" ... "


312


With a small moan, the subject's lower body loses power.

It seems that he regained his consciousness with a single blow.

The unsupported body fell to the floor as it was.

" ... It looks okay. "

Also , check the bag that the man got.

The contents were almost empty, as can be judged from the feeling that it was lifted without resistance to the go.

It seems that it was used to invade the place, and it contains only small tools such as tonkachi and cloth tape.

Apparently it's been a while since the invasion. After confirming this, Rose moved on to confirm the surroundings.


Then, at the end of the aisle, I found a half-open door.

When she hits this, she holds a man in her arms and goes down the corridor.

Then, I checked the inside of the room with a careful look, as if looking into the inside through the gap .

As she expected, there was a trace of a man sneaking in from the outside. A room that seemed to be a warehouse, the window glass was broken.

"I wonder if I'll let you use it,"

Fortunately, she escapes outdoors through a broken window.


313


A man and a man's bag are also thrown out together.

Since it was on the ground floor, I didn't have any trouble with this.

After safely escaping from the building, she dragged the man into the shadows and changed her clothes on the spot .

Take off the employee uniform and the black rubber suit and change into plain clothes.

The clothes I was wearing until then are replaced with plain clothes in the bag I was carrying.

" ... Well,"

the next thing I took out was the phone.


She quickly manipulated the screen to launch the calling app.

Select a target from the past history and make a call.

After making a dozen or so calls, the line was connected.

What was returned from the other party was a very moody voice.

"Rose-san, if I have a grudge, I'll ask you tomorrow at school ... "

"Oh, I'm sorry. I made a mistake."

" ... ... "

I was going to call Francisca, but I mistakenly hung up on the chairwoman.

Since two people were lined up and down in the call history list, it seemed that a slight shift in the tap position interfered with Shimizu's sleep .

It is Rose who made a mistake.


314


It is unbearable as a chairwoman who was caused by a mistake.

The anger at Rose springs up in my heart .

Thanks to that, even if I try to sleep, I can't sleep, and I end up spending several hours in agony until the next morning .

Meanwhile, Rose summoned Francisca again.

This was a little more responsive than Shimizu, and I was able to connect in a few calls.

"Rose-chan, what's this time ? I'm sleepy."

"I came across a thief at a department store in Tokyo."

"Eh ? "

"It looks like an amateur. The window glass is broken, so please clean it up."

" ... What are you doing ? "

Francisca was stunned over the phone.

The voice echoed. I'm just saying I don't understand the meaning.

I have secured the criminal, so I wonder if I could have a car and a person move in from there.

I have a lot of other things to do, so I don't have time to deal with detailed procedures.

If you leave it as it is, it will cause various problems. 

"Wait a minute ! Where are you now ? "

"I'll send you location information. This is also a necessary job to secure [normal]."


315


" ......... It's really early tomorrow! I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this. ! "

Rose hung up, listening to Francisca's screaming voice.

Rose, who joined Obasan as planned, handed over the man at the scene.

" ...... I'm sure you've heard of it "

"Yes, that's right."

A look of confusion crosses Francisca's face as her partner shares with her what happened and how it happened.

You can find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the most out of their life. 

The location is a narrow alleyway a short distance from the department stores where the riot took place.

It was a weekday and the date had long since changed, so there was no sign of anyone around.

They are talking on the street, but what they are saying is not what Francisca imagines. 

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea. And what does this have to do with "normal"? 

"You don't even know what that is? "

"Yes, I don't know. I'd love to know"

"It's on his lunch menu, of course."

316


" ... ... "

Francisca thought this was a bad guy to say.

In fact, Rose's head is a flower garden.

"Rose-chan, maybe you called me a while ago ... "

"Is there any other reason ? "

" ... Yeah," "I'll deliver it to him."

It's a lunch, but I can't get rid of it .

So you can't decide not to go get it because it's so close to your house ? I'm sure ginger will be happy because he can eat it . 

"Wow "

" ... "

Looking at Rose, whose eyes were shining brightly, Francisca decided to refrain from further complaints .

In this situation, he decided that no matter how much he said, he would not have an ear to hear .

However, even so, she is busy.

"I tell you, isn't this free ? "

"I don't mind, please use it to earn your pocket money."

" ... Well, if you say so, I don't mind."


317

 

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea.

In the meantime, Rose was happy to have paid the price, which was not cheap.

The crotch obasan thought to herself that she would keep arrow ginger in the fridge from now on. 

In the morning, Rose got up early to finish her lunch.

Since she came home at dawn, she slept less than three hours. Even so, she 

She had a big smile on her face. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one with a smile on my face.

Then came the lunch break. As soon as the lesson was over, she left the classroom. The destination of the hurried footsteps is the neighboring second year A class.

The lunch box was put in a bag and left in the classroom.

I had to get Nishino before I could start.

I had to find the target and take her out to her lunch seat.

Just as she left the classroom, she was lightly bumped on the shoulder by another student in the corridor

318


Rose, who is an exceptional physical specimen, does not seem to be in the least perturbed.

She only shook her head lightly as an act of respect for her surroundings.

On the other hand, the person who hit her lost his balance and stumbled backwards. 

"Kyah ...... "

On the other hand, the person who hit him lost his balance.

On the other hand, the person who hit him lost his balance and stumbled backwards.

The other side stumbled backwards.

I'm not sure what to do.

I'm not sure what to make of it. It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your vacation.

"Hey, isn't it good to run in the corridor? "

" Ro, Rose ... "

The chairwoman was annoyed to hear Rose's voice.

The reason why she had to run in the corridor was due to the person in front of her.

 She had slept through the night last night because of repeated phone calls, and today she had overslept and had not had time to prepare her lunch. 

Thanks to this, I had to make a dash for the shop at lunchtime. 

Like many other high schools, the lunchtime shopping is also very busy at Tsunuma High School.

It only takes about ten minutes of delay before all the good bread and lunch boxes are sold out.

What is left are items that are not good enough for a lunch menu in terms of taste and nutrition.

In the classroom, a good friend is waiting for her with her lunch.

319


"Whose fault is it that I'm running ......"

I can't help but raise my voice in irritation from lack of sleep.

Rose, on the other hand, slips past Shisui without a care in the world.

"I'm sorry."

"Oh, hey ..."

The chairwoman of the committee is waiting for her, but she is not going to respond.

It's the most important moment of the day. I'm not sure what to make of it.

After parting ways with Shisui, Rose went to the Class 2A classroom to check on Nishino's whereabouts.

As soon as she walked in, the man she wanted to be with appeared in front of her.

She had just stepped out of the classroom doorway and into the corridor. 

The sight of his face almost made me smile.

The day before his death, Rose had received a call from the hospital that Nishino would be discharged today. 

The day before her death, Rose received a call from the hospital that Nishino would be discharged today.

And it was easy to predict that the school-loving person in front of her would show up at the second year A class as soon as possible. 

She felt a warmth in her heart at the predictable outcome. 

Now all I have to do is lure the stubborn man to the roof. 


320


Desperately trying to control her impatience, Rose takes a step towards Nishino. 

"Oh, Nishino-kun?"

"..."

"I wonder if I didn't have to rest? You're not sick."

And so, once again today, she smiles strangely at the man of her dreams.
