"Akibara-kun, what's wrong? You look distracted."
Getting his question from friends who were eating together, Hiro tried to be calmer and smiled again before answering, "Ah, not only that I haven't seen Fukuda for a while. Usually he is always the first to go to the cafeteria, seeing him always alone I wanted to invite him to join us."
The people around him seemed to have good intentions for Hiro. He was secretly happy to get a positive response. "You think too much of others, Akibara-kun. If Fukuda isn't in the cafeteria, maybe he's in class," commented a girl among them.
