You’re always glued together at meals, too... Are you dating?” Hanemio answers her friend’s question: No. “We’re just meal buddies.” Her friend sighs with relief. “Thank goodness. That guy’s a huge jerk. You’d be better off staying away from him.” Hanemio tilts her head. “Huh? But I think Osamu is great. He’s a really good guy.” Her friend: “…” #Maybe Inarizaki has a second Miya Osamu# #Something worse than our sweet, adorable friend being swept away by a handsome jerk has happened# #Kashino Hanemio, maybe you should get your eyes checked# - Kashino Hanemio really thinks Osamu is a great guy. First, he has a big appetite and can finish any food she can’t manage. Second, he looks so satisfied no matter what he eats that he makes her hungry, too. Osamu probably likes the food she brings him, too. They both get what they want, so naturally, they become meal buddies. “If we’re meal buddies, shouldn’t we exchange LINE IDs so we can share recipes later?” Hanemio nods. “Let’s go out together this weekend. There’s a restaurant with really good food.” Hanemio thinks for a few seconds, then agrees. “Hold my hand so you don’t get lost.” Hanemio doesn’t refuse. “Give me a hug. The food was delicious today.” Before Hanemio can figure out how that follows, he’s already hugging her. ...Mm. Although Kashino Hanemio still doesn’t understand the logic, she thinks Maybe she kind of likes being hugged by this gray-haired fox. One day. He eats a piece of pudding she gives him, but his eyes stay fixed on her lips. “Osamu?” The fox doesn’t answer. Instead, he leans in and, after a moment, smiles seductively. Like a carnivore that’s been eyeing its tender, sweet prey for a long time, he finally bares his fangs. “Can I kiss you?” - Much later, Kashino Hanemio realizes two things. Osamu really can be a bit of a jerk in certain ways. Especially when he develops an [appetite] for her. 1. Oblivious sweet girl x handsome jerk. 2.
