Chapter 17

"We were so worried!" Her classmates told her and (F/N) couldn't help but laugh, since most of her classmates were standing around her

"Sorry, sorry, and thank you for worrying. I am all okay now. I also rested well." She responded

"There will be quizzes today, will you be okay?" They worriedly asked

"Akashi mentioned about it, and he sent the notes last night." She responded "I hope I'll be okay though"

"You will, you are smart so don't worry" Sae assured her "but the teacher might give you extra lessons though."

"Ah yeah, I will be having extra lessons this week" she chuckled "but well, it's fine."

"(F/N), here, the copy of my notes." Akashi handed it to her and noticed the grinning face from their classmates "what?"

"Well, it's really fresh seeing Akashi-sama like this" they responded

Akashi sighed then turned to (F/N) and remembered the messaged he received the night before

"During lunch, go there right away. Also, I will make lunch for you, so don't bring lunch, okay?"

He then again remembered what his father, and servants responded when he asked what he talked to (F/N)

"It was our talk. If she didn't tell you then I won't. It's a talk between me and my future daughter-in-law, right? So don't ask about it."

"Our apologies, Seijurou-sama. We were ordered not to tell you what we know about their conversation. However, rest assure, after his talk to (F/N)-sama, he take a like of (F/N)-sama."

"Akashi?" (F/N) called him back to his senses "are you okay?"

"Yeah, I am. I just remembered something" he responded then patted her head and left to his own seat

Not long after, their teacher arrived.

~lunch~

"I went here as what you told me, but you arrived 3 minutes after."

"Sorry, I bought drinks." (F/N) responded as she sat across him then opened two lunch boxes and handed one to him "I hope you will like the taste though. It's kind of different from before, so I hope the taste is okay"

"I can eat everything-"

"Except for wakame, right? You don't like seaweed, so don't worry, I won't put them on your lunch."

"How did you know that I hate wakame?"

"Your father- Ah..." she responded but stopped, then smiled at him

"Somehow, that smile is really irritating"

"Well, well, don't worry about it. In exchange..." she gazed away and shyly told him "I will make lunch for you, everyday"

Akashi silently looked at her face that turned red, and he couldn't help but smile to himself "everyday is too much. Once in a while is enough, so-"

"I don't mind"

"Eh?"

"You gave me lots, and I will be receiving more from now on for sure. So, I don't mind making lunch for you. You need to be healthy, and I want to see your reaction eating the dishes I prepared. Also, if I experiment a new dish, you can have them and let me know where I can improve"

"I see" Akashi chuckled "I am a Guinea pig"

"I don't mean about that-"

"I'm just joking. I don't mind eating them, in contrary, let me do it. I want to have them first than others" Akashi smiled then noticed the lunch box on her side "you even made two different lunch box"
