Hira was added to the lowest rank of Kiyoi's group as an errand boy that could be utilized when it was convenient. Even though they still called him by the nickname "Hii-kun", unlike before, since that incident with Yoshida, apart from Kiyoi's group, the rest of the class now dared not call him by that nickname anymore. Hira was still considered a trash, but now he had been recognized by his peers as a complex existence: even if he was a trash, he was the king's trash.

"Two ham sandwiches, and something sweet as well. And then the usual cider."

As soon as the fourth period ended, Hira hurriedly ran to Kiyoi. Kiyoi then handed him the menu of the day, indirectly instructing Hira to purchase it from the school canteen.
