Chapter 039 Eating Kei in Front of Suzune / You Do It Too!
"Fine, since you've agreed, I naturally have no problem with it. But, aren't you angry at all?"
Shimizu Akira raised an eyebrow. After all, Matsushita Chiaki had kept it from Kei for so long and had confessed to her boyfriend behind her back. It would have been perfectly natural for Karuizawa Kei to get angry, give the cold shoulder, or start a cold war for a while.
"Well, I am a little angry about being kept in the dark for so long," Karuizawa Kei said seriously. "But Chiaki is one of my best friends, and she compensated me well for it. If she joins your harem, I think I can accept it!"
"..."
Just as she finished speaking, the sound of a spoon clattering came from nearby. A few seconds later, Horikita Suzune walked out with a cold face, still clutching a spoon.
"Akira-kun, you're quite capable. Already at number eight."
Shimizu Akira's mouth twitched. He hadn't expected that Karuizawa Kei, who usually lacked security, would be fine, while the tsundere Suzune would blow up instead.
He quickly explained, "Uh... actually, it's not that fast, is it? Look, I only started dating Kei in March this year, and now it's July. Four months have already passed."
Horikita Suzune glared at him and began to think seriously. In the past, this guy had a rhythm of picking up one girlfriend per special exam. Now that nearly half a year had passed...
Truth be told, the more she thought about it, the more it seemed it really wasn't that fast?
"In the first year... you collected seven over the whole year," Suzune murmured to herself, then shot him another glare. "Now in the first semester of the second year, you've collected one. Should I praise you for making progress?"
Shimizu Akira gave a dry cough. "There's no need to praise me. Don't talk nonsense; that kind of rule doesn't exist."
Beside them, Karuizawa Kei counted on her fingers, her eyes lighting up. "Then for your quota this year, are you still short by two?"
Shimizu quickly countered, "Ahem, you can't predict matters of the heart. How can you just say 'two'? Besides, giving me only two slots—isn't that a bit too few?"
Horikita Suzune glared at him intensely. "Then how many do you want? Is another ten enough for you?"
Shimizu blurted out instinctively, "That would be enough!"
The moment the words left his mouth, he met Horikita Suzune's murderous gaze. He sighed helplessly. "Suzune, what's going on? Why is the jealousy especially strong today?"
Horikita Suzune turned red and immediately retorted, "Who's jealous!"
"Then what did you mean by those words just now?"
"Exactly what I said."
"Exactly what you said means you're very angry. You've known about my harem for a long time. By now, you shouldn't be this upset. Why? Is it something I've done wrong lately? Can we speak honestly? Suzune, I promised Brother Horikita I would take good care of you."
"Now you're calling him 'Brother.' When my brother was here, you never called him that once..."
"I just... I feel like during this special exam, Karuizawa and I have been following you the whole time. We even sleep together. How do you still have time to go out and fool around? You're not taking us seriously at all!"
Shimizu Akira finally understood. So that was it. Thinking from Suzune's perspective, he indeed hadn't handled things correctly. He thought for a moment, then stepped forward and gently hugged her.
Horikita Suzune's body stiffened, and she raised her hands to gently push him.
"I'm sorry. It was my lack of consideration that made you feel lonely. I won't make any excuses for this; it's my fault. From now on, I'll come back an hour earlier every evening to spend more time with you two. How does that sound?"
Horikita Suzune waited a few seconds before saying, "If your daily points fall below twenty, I'm kicking you out."
"You have the final say; I'll listen to you."
Karuizawa Kei watched from the side, her eyes wide. Her first reaction wasn't jealousy but shock as she looked at Horikita Suzune.
"Horikita... you can actually feel lonely and act spoiled?"
"I am not acting spoiled." Horikita Suzune broke free from Shimizu Akira's embrace, her earlobes slightly red, though her expression had returned to its usual calm. "I am just stating facts. It's all this man's fault. Alright, let's eat. It'll get cold if we wait."
The three of them sat back down together. The atmosphere was much more relaxed than before.
"Anyway, back to business." Horikita Suzune cleared her throat and proactively started a topic. "When I went to the designated area check-in today, I found that Shinohara Satsuki from our class is temporarily moving with Ichinose. However, because her group only has one person left, her score is still quite precarious."
"Shinohara...!" Karuizawa Kei frowned slightly. She had a decent relationship with Shinohara Satsuki; back when Ike Kanji wanted Shinohara's contact info, she was the one who set it up. "Isn't there any group in our class willing to take her in?"
"There are groups willing, but expansion slots aren't that easy to get," Horikita Suzune explained. "I've calculated it. At most, there are about five tasks per day that offer expansion slots. Today is the sixth day, which means only fifteen groups in total could have gotten them. With the top three of each task getting a combined six slots, there are only about ninety slots available on the whole island."
"Eh? So few?" Karuizawa Kei was surprised.
Horikita Suzune turned to look at Shimizu Akira, who was silently eating his rice. Still annoyed from earlier, she threw the topic directly to him. "You explain."
Shimizu Akira looked up and smiled helplessly.
"Well, Kei. It's only the sixth day; the exam isn't even halfway through. The school definitely won't open too many slots yet. Ninety slots might sound like a lot, but divided among twelve classes, that's only seven or eight per class on average. Not to mention the distribution is uneven. For example, I took three slots a couple of days ago and they're still unused. There are many groups like mine still screening members.
Wait a couple more days, and the school will open more slots. By then, groups with more than six people won't be allowed to participate in expansion tasks anymore, so naturally, someone will look to group up with Shinohara Satsuki."
Karuizawa Kei listened in a daze, taking a while to process it. "So... Shinohara just has to hang out with Ichinose and the others for now until someone frees up a slot later?"
"That's about the gist of it," Shimizu Akira nodded. "And Ichinose won't mistreat her. Following along for check-ins at least guarantees basic points."
"That's good then..." Karuizawa Kei breathed a sigh of relief but then frowned again. "But Shinohara must be very uneasy being alone, right? After all, both Ike Kanji and Kinoshita had accidents... I've asked many people, and no one has seen Yagami Takuya. Where is that guy hiding?"
On the night of the accidents, Shimizu Akira had told Kei and Suzune his suspicions, warning them to be careful. Thus, Karuizawa Kei knew who the culprit was.
"Well, probably hiding deep in the forest like Ryuen Kakeru did last year," Shimizu replied. "As long as one intentionally avoids designated areas, it's not easy to be found."
He recalled the intel from a few days ago about Yagami Takuya planning to meet Kushida Kikyou. He wondered if the two had met yet.
After dinner, the three cleaned up and crawled into the tent. They then stared at the single set of bedding, the one blanket, and the one pillow, falling into thought.
"Kei?" Shimizu Akira cast a speechless look.
Karuizawa Kei turned her face away and began to lie righteously: "Ahem, don't look at me! When I went, there was only one pillow left. It couldn't be helped. How about this: Akira-kun uses the pillow, and Horikita and I will just share it with you."
Horikita Suzune glanced at Shimizu Akira, hesitation in her eyes. But remembering that this man had dared to mock her for being jealous, she immediately turned away.
"I'll stick to my old way and sleep using my clothes as a pillow. You two do as you like."
Having said that, she ignored them both and crawled straight into the blankets. A few seconds later, rustling sounds came from under the covers as she took off her outer layers one by one.
On the other side, Karuizawa Kei's face was slightly red. In the past, she would have hidden from Shimizu Akira to take off her jacket, but after Matsushita Chiaki's guidance, she understood she needed to be more proactive. So, she took a deep breath and began taking off her clothes one by one right in front of him.
The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became delicate. Shimizu Akira was a bit surprised watching Karuizawa Kei undress before him.
"Kei, you..."
"W-what is it?" Karuizawa Kei's face was red, but her hands didn't stop. "I-I'm just taking off my clothes to get ready for bed! It's normal, right!"
Though she said that, her speed was noticeably slower than usual, and her movements had a certain deliberate allure. Shimizu Akira put a hand to his forehead.
'Matsushita definitely taught her this.'
Karuizawa Kei finally finished undressing, leaving only her bra and panties. She held a corner of the blanket, looking at Shimizu Akira nervously.
"U-um... Akira-kun, aren't you going to take your clothes off?"
Shimizu Akira looked at her and smiled. "I am."
He also began to undress. His movements were natural, without any hesitation. Karuizawa Kei peeked, her heart racing involuntarily. Soon, both were down to their underwear and crawled into the blankets.
The mattress was large enough, but there was only one blanket and one pillow. The three lay side-by-side in silence.
"Um..." Karuizawa Kei spoke softly. "Akira-kun, like usual, why don't you sleep in the middle?"
"Okay."
Shimizu Akira moved to the center, with Karuizawa Kei on his left and Horikita Suzune on his right.
11:00 PM.
The sleeping Shimizu Akira suddenly felt his arm being gently hugged by something soft and warm, followed by a light tug.
"Akira-kun~" "Akira-kun~" "Wake up..."
Warm breath tickled his ear as someone whispered to him. He opened his eyes to find Karuizawa Kei lying beside him, looking at him with flushed cheeks.
"What is it? Need to go to the toilet?" Shimizu Akira assumed she was uncomfortable like the other night and asked naturally in a low voice while reaching for his jacket.
Karuizawa Kei quickly shook her head. "No, it's not that..."
"Then what's wrong?"
She pursed her lips, peeking at the silent Horikita Suzune next to them. Then she leaned in closer.
"I... I just want to be... intimate... with you..."
Shimizu Akira was stunned, not yet having reacted. The next second, Karuizawa Kei grit her teeth, silently repeating "I can't lose to Haruka and the others" in her heart, mustered her courage, and leaned in directly.
Soft, warm lips pressed against his.
Once Shimizu Akira recovered, he smiled slightly and opened his mouth, responding tenderly. Karuizawa Kei's body trembled, and she went soft all over. Her hands climbed to his shoulders as she responded clumsily.
After a few seconds, Karuizawa Kei panted and asked softly, "How does it compare to that woman Haruka?"
Shimizu was speechless. "Even this has to be compared?"
Why did this line sound so familiar? He instinctively turned his head to see Horikita Suzune on his right, breathing steadily and completely asleep. He remembered now—last time, Suzune had compared herself to Kikyo.
Karuizawa Kei was relentless. "Of course! That woman always mocks me."
"You both feel very good to me," Shimizu Akira said.
"No, just tell the truth."
"When I'm kissing you, my mind is full of you. How could I have the heart to compare anyone else?" Shimizu Akira lied smoothly.
Karuizawa Kei's face turned red instantly. She looked at him with watery eyes and asked happily, "Really?"
"I never lie." Shimizu Akira added silently in his heart: Except when saying sweet nothings.
Kei had a sensitive personality; she wasn't as easy to handle as Suzune. If he said Haruka was more proactive and bold, she'd definitely flip out on the spot. Sweet talk and a direct approach suited her best—tailoring the teaching to the student.
Karuizawa Kei reached out, took Shimizu Akira's hand, and placed it directly on her body. "Then as a reward... you can touch here however you want."
Shimizu Akira almost laughed. He could clearly feel his hand pressed against her stomach, his fingers even touching her navel. Who puts their boyfriend's hand on their belly?
Still, with the blanket for cover, Kei was indeed much bolder than before. Shimizu Akira's palm remained flat against Karuizawa Kei's soft stomach.
"Can I continue?" he asked tentatively.
Karuizawa Kei nodded shyly. "You can! We're a couple, why wouldn't it be okay?"
Shimizu Akira suppressed a smile, his palm moving slightly on her belly. Karuizawa Kei's body jerked as if she'd been struck by lightning, and she curled up.
"It tickles..." she murmured softly.
"Then am I allowed to touch or not?"
"...Yes."
Shimizu Akira's palm slowly moved up the curve of her waist. Karuizawa Kei's breathing became ragged, her hands tightly gripping his arm. However, the next second, she stiffened completely.
Because Shimizu Akira had touched her scar.
"Kei?" Shimizu Akira looked at her with concern. "Are you okay..."
"I'm fine!" Karuizawa Kei shook her head while looking at him passionately. "On the day you confessed to me, during our first date, Akira-kun told me that this is proof of me moving forward. I'm very happy now; I'm not sad at all."
She wasn't lying to him.
"Kei, you're very strong," Shimizu Akira praised.
"Hehe..." Karuizawa Kei showed a proud little expression.
Before the happiness could last long, the large hand on her body had unknowingly moved to a higher position. Karuizawa Kei's body stiffened again.
"B-but..."
"Can I continue?"
"Yes..." Her mind was full of Shimizu Akira; she wouldn't say no to anything.
Shimizu Akira then applied a bit of pressure.
"Ah..."
Karuizawa Kei let out a soft whimper like a kitten. As if wary of the "sleeping" Suzune nearby, she instinctively covered her mouth with one hand. However, Shimizu Akira's movements were gentle, and the warmth from his palm made her go limp.
"Akira-kun..." she whispered his name.
"Hmm?"
"I... I feel so strange..."
Shimizu Akira looked down at her. Her eyes were watery and her lips were slightly parted, as if she didn't know what to do. He then said, "It's not strange. It's normal. I really like how you look right now."
"Do you really like it?"
"Really."
Karuizawa Kei breathed a sigh of relief. "Then... are you comfortable?"
"Hmm?"
"Should I... unfasten the strap...?"
"...Alright."
Karuizawa Kei's hand reached gently behind her, fumbling for the strap. Even with the blanket's cover, her movements were very slow. Shimizu Akira didn't rush her, just stroked her hair encouragingly.
Finally, the strap was unfastened. Karuizawa Kei bit her lip and slowly turned around to face him.
"Akira-kun... you... you continue."
"..."
Karuizawa Kei felt her body getting hotter and hotter. She couldn't help but whimper again. This time, the sound was even more...
"..."
She quickly peeked at Horikita Suzune next to them, who remained motionless. Karuizawa Kei breathed a sigh of relief, but her body grew tighter.
"Akira-kun..." she whispered his name.
"Hmm?"
"My body... it feels like it's not mine anymore..."
"It's not strange. This is normal too."
"Really?"
"Really."
Karuizawa Kei relaxed slightly, but soon couldn't help but make a sound.
"Mm."
"Alright, let's pause for a moment... or I won't be able to hold back."
"I want to continue..."
"But right now we don't have..."
"I bought them. Small umbrellas... right under the blanket."
"You bought them?"
"Mhm... Chiaki said it's better to be safe than sorry."
"Uh."
"Akira-kun, do you think Horikita will suddenly wake up?"
"Well... let's try to be as quiet as possible. Also, I think it would be better if we went outside."
"...No! Without the blanket, I'd be too shy! I-I'll just be even quieter!"
Karuizawa Kei bit her lip again.
"Mmph!"
The next second, tiny sounds escaped uncontrollably from between her lips. She was so ashamed she buried her face in the pillow, but her body was honest.
After an unknown amount of time, Shimizu Akira finally stopped. Karuizawa Kei lay limp in his arms, gasping for air.
"Akira-kun... I... am I very useless... being so easily..."
"It's fine. You're cuter this way."
Karuizawa Kei was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Really?"
"Really."
"Then... should we keep it from Horikita next time too?"
"Well... I think it's better if we do it privately. Although it is exciting and has a sense of transgression, if we get caught, we'll definitely die a horrible death."
To the right, Horikita Suzune remained motionless. But if someone could see her face, they would discover it was even redder than Karuizawa Kei's. Moreover, her hands were death-gripping the blanket.
She hadn't slept at all. Not from the beginning to the end.

Day 7 of the deserted island.
Karuizawa Kei, who usually loved to sleep in, woke up at 6:00 AM today. She felt refreshed and full of energy; her long-standing insomnia seemed to have been completely cured overnight.
"So intimacy really is that comfortable..." she couldn't help but mumble. "No wonder Haruka and Airi are always looking for Akira-kun."
No, perhaps "dissatisfied" would be a better description. As long as the desire is satisfied, the whole person feels comfortable.
She was getting ready to get out of bed when she noticed Shimizu Akira was gone. Her boyfriend was likely out for morning exercise, so there was no need to worry.
The moment she lifted the blanket, she realized she was currently completely naked.
"Ugh..."
The images from last night flooded her mind, and her face turned beet-red. She began to dress in a flurry.
'My voice wasn't that loud last night, right? Luckily Horikita Suzune didn't wake up!'
She instinctively glanced to the side and froze. Horikita Suzune, who usually woke up at 6:00 AM sharp, was actually still sleeping. Karuizawa Kei finished dressing. Remembering that it was usually Horikita who woke her up, she decided to do it herself for once.
She gently pushed the other girl's shoulder. "Horikita... wake up..."
Horikita Suzune opened her eyes groggily, her head feeling heavy and her sleepiness lingering. She picked up a nearby mirror and looked; in the mirror, distinct dark circles hung beneath her eyes.
Karuizawa Kei saw the dark circles and was stunned for a moment, but then something clicked, and a look of embarrassment surfaced on her face.
"Horikita... did you not sleep well last night? Why are your dark circles so heavy?"
Horikita Suzune stared expressionlessly at herself in the mirror, silent for a few seconds. "I didn't sleep well."
"U-um... was it because you weren't used to the new blanket?"
Horikita Suzune looked away, her voice flat. "Probably."
She certainly wouldn't say that the noise from next to her had kept her from closing her eyes all night. Those tiny, suppressed, yet impossible-to-ignore sounds...
Horikita Suzune took a deep breath, pushing those images out of her mind. "Where's Akira-kun?" she shifted the topic.
"He's probably out for morning exercise," Karuizawa Kei said. "He's like that every morning; I'm used to it."
"Mhm."
The two finished dressing, the atmosphere in the tent inexplicably subtle. As they walked out of the tent, Shimizu Akira happened to be running back from a distance.
"Morning." He wiped his sweat. "You're both awake?"
"Mhm!" Karuizawa Kei met him. "Good work on your morning exercise, Akira-kun!"
Shimizu Akira smiled, his gaze landing on Horikita Suzune and lingering for a moment. "Suzune, you didn't sleep well last night?"
Horikita Suzune turned her face away. "A little."
Shimizu looked at her and couldn't help but feel a cold sweat.
'Wait, did this person listen the whole night and not sleep at all?'
As expected, in the real world, "completely failing to notice" simply didn't exist. Rather, it would be strange not to notice—it wasn't like Suzune had drunk any drugged tea.
"Uh... then rest more today. Don't push yourself too hard."
"Mhm."
The three began to prepare breakfast. Karuizawa Kei hummed a song while helping, her mood fantastic. Horikita Suzune silently went about her business, only occasionally casting a cold glance at Shimizu Akira.
Shimizu Akira saw this and felt helpless. He'd just comforted her yesterday, and now she was unhappy again? He thought about it and, without a word, reached out to pull Horikita Suzune into his embrace.
"What are you doing!" Horikita Suzune struggled briefly.
"Last night, did you hear Kei and me being intimate?"
"W-who heard! I didn't!"
"Then what's with those dark circles this morning?"
"That's... that's because I wasn't used to the new blanket!"
"Lying isn't good, you know."
Beside them, Karuizawa Kei finally reacted, looking at Horikita Suzune with wide eyes.
"Wait! Suzune, did you really hear us last night? Can you tell the truth? No lying!"
Faced with Karuizawa Kei's questioning, Horikita Suzune hesitated before speaking the truth.
"...I heard."
"Aaaaaah!" Karuizawa Kei covered her face. "This is so embarrassing! It's all Akira-kun's fault! How is Horikita going to look at me now!"
She didn't even eat her food, raising her small fists to start pounding on Shimizu Akira.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault." Shimizu's mouth twitched, letting her pummel him.
"Though I can't stand this man," Horikita Suzune spoke calmly, "it was you who proactively woke him up last night and you who proactively seduced him. Also... halfway through, he clearly invited you to go outside, but you refused. He told you to be quiet, but instead, you got louder. You were the one who prepared the small umbrellas too. So, strictly speaking, the responsibility is more yours."
Karuizawa Kei froze. Then her eyes quickly filled with mist, and her voice even carried a sob. "Wuwu... how can I face anyone now... it's so embarrassing... my 'gal' image is ruined!"
It was the first time Shimizu Akira had seen such a girlish side of Karuizawa Kei. Even though she was pitiable, he somehow felt... what should I do, she's so cute? He really wanted to tease her.
Horikita Suzune rubbed her temples and let out a helpless sigh. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Actually... a few days ago, when I was in private with this man, we also hid it from you and were intimate in the tent. So, I suppose this is my deserved retribution."
Karuizawa Kei's crying stopped abruptly. She looked up, her eyes still red, but her face had been replaced with a look of shock.
"Wait...! Horikita, what did you just say? You and Akira-kun... already..."
Horikita Suzune turned her face away. "...A few days ago."
"A few days ago?! Which day specifically?"
"Just... before you bought the blankets."
"So... so you two already... before I bought the blankets, you already..."
"It was just some hugging and holding," Horikita Suzune turned away. "It wasn't anywhere near the step you two took last night—not by a long shot!"
Karuizawa Kei covered her flushed cheeks again. "So you really heard everything! You even know what step we reached! No, no, this makes me seem even more shameless!"
Suddenly, a brilliant idea hit her steaming brain. "Since things have come to this, the only way I can be completely at ease is if you and Akira-kun also have an intimate night!"
"Huh?!" Horikita Suzune doubted her ears, her face turning beet-red. " I would never do such a shameful thing as you two!"
"No! You must!" Karuizawa Kei said righteously. "That way we'll both have leverage over each other, and neither of us will tell!"
"I won't say anything! I never lie!"
"Lies! You just lied!" Karuizawa Kei retorted immediately. "You clearly heard us, but when I asked you, you pretended not to have. I don't trust you!"
"..."
Horikita Suzune was stuck, her lips pursed, unable to speak. She glanced sideways and saw Shimizu Akira with an "enjoying the show" expression, and she suddenly got angry. "You say something!"
Shimizu threw up his hands, looking innocent. "I think Kei has a point."
"What did you say?! You're actually on her side?!"
Shimizu shrugged innocently. "I'm just speaking the truth. Although Kei's logic is a bit skewed, it does make sense. If you both have leverage over each other, then neither can speak of it."
"Exactly, exactly!" Karuizawa Kei nodded repeatedly, looking at Horikita Suzune triumphantly. "See, Suzune, even Akira-kun agrees!"
Horikita Suzune grit her teeth. "You two... teaming up to bully me?"
"No, no." Shimizu quickly waved his hands. "I just think this is best for everyone. To be fair, you heard Kei's voice the whole time. In the interest of fairness, letting Kei hear yours too isn't too much, right?"
Horikita Suzune stammered, "How... how is that the same! I was forced to listen! It's not like I eavesdropped on purpose!"
"But you still heard it," Karuizawa Kei added. "And you just admitted it yourself—you heard everything and even know which step we reached."
Horikita Suzune was speechless. She had indeed heard it. Seeing her waver, Karuizawa Kei immediately pressed her advantage.
"Suzune, just agree! You're going to... do that... with Akira-kun sooner or later anyway. What's the difference between one day sooner or later?"
"T-that's different!"
"How is it different?"
"I... I'm not mentally prepared!"
"What kind of mental preparation do you need for this?" Karuizawa Kei tilted her head. "Look at me, last night was my first time too. Just let nature take its course!"
Horikita Suzune was blocked by her words. Shimizu Akira looked at the two and couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and continued to hold Horikita Suzune tight.
"Suzune."
Horikita Suzune struggled a bit, failed to break free, and gave up. "What?"
"Kei is right. Just let nature take its course. You don't need to feel pressured. If you don't want to, I can wait."
Horikita Suzune looked up into his eyes. She was silent for a few seconds, then said in a small voice. "...It's not that I don't want to."
Shimizu raised an eyebrow. Karuizawa Kei pumped her fist excitedly beside them. "That means you want to!"
"I-I didn't mean it that way!"
"Then what did you mean?"
Horikita Suzune was asked with such embarrassment and annoyance that she simply buried her face in Shimizu Akira's chest and said softly. "Think whatever you want."
Karuizawa Kei froze for a moment, then cheered. "Great! Then tonight we'll..."
"Not tonight!"
"Why?"
"Because... because there are tasks today! And... and I need to prepare!"
Horikita Suzune didn't want to look at him. Shimizu laughed and rubbed her hair. "Fine, we'll talk once you're prepared."
Karuizawa Kei leaned in and whispered, "Then can I continue with Akira-kun tonight?"
"No!" Horikita Suzune suddenly looked up. "Tonight you go sleep on your own side!"
"Why!"
"Because... because I need to prepare!"
"Then you prepare yours and I'll sleep mine. What does it matter?"
Horikita Suzune was speechless. Shimizu Akira looked at the two of them, laughing uncontrollably. "Alright, alright, stop arguing. We'll talk about tonight when tonight comes. Let's eat first. We have tasks to participate in after breakfast."
"Hmph!"
"Hmph!"
Both snorted simultaneously and bowed their heads to eat.
