an ibamido a day keeps the big sad away

Ibara usually doesn't wear shorts, but when it was particularly hot in their dorm, he had no choice because his legs felt uncomfortable and sticky. Midori has never seen him wearing anything that exposes more than his ankles and he just stared for a moment wondering if what he's seeing is real.

🐍: I wasn't interested in an little competition like this at first. But with all the unexpected twists and obstacles popping up, I ended up having quite a good time~♪ Whether it's brains or brawn, I don't lose. Ahaha!

Assuming these are sent by the same person (ᵕ ´ᗜ`)

Awawawawa... That's so cute. Midori definitely knows a lot of vegetable dishes and which veggies would be the best to use for a soup. He's not a very good cook, but he can make the basics. Midori would notice that Ibara doesn't usually have proper meals and offers him something warm and comforting to eat.

Ibara would be so ??? at it. He's not used to being taken care of. The last time someone cooked for him and made him a nice, warm meal was back when he was in the military with Yuzuru. And we all know how that ended!

The soup was Papa Takamine's recipe which he made a point to teach both his sons (Nii-san has made the soup for his wife). Ibara couldn't bring himself to decline because Midori was giving him the puppy eyes and accepting the meal would be rude and accepting could get him in Midori's good graces and to his senpais and to Eichi to an extent

(He was thinking business and tactics again.)

"I'm Midori Takamine from RYUSEITAI. Hmm, I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to say here..."

"My family runs a greengrocer, so I help out there a lot. I guess that's why I've come to like vegetables... Oh, but mascots are still my favorite ♪"

"On the other hand, there are a lot of things I'm not very good at... Ah, maybe I shouldn't bring that up. Sorry... I always end up thinking negatively..."

Q: What was the last text you sent to your unit members?

🐍: His Highness Hiyori sent me several photos with His Excellency, so I replied that, if he planned to post them on social media, the fourth would be best.

🥕: Since my parents sent over a lot of vegetables,I messaged the others in the unit to see if anyone wanted some. I'll bring them over later.

Midori texts rarely, but casual in texting style.

Q: What subject are you best at?

🐍: Honestly, what l excel at doesn't quite fit within the confines of school subjects. Politics, economics, management, information science, statistics... let's just say those are my areas.

🥕: I'm not sure if I'm actually good at math, or if it's just the only subject I can handle... Either way, I'm terrible at everything else, so I thinkit's just a matter of what clicks with me.

Midori leans more towards Science, but not so very good in academics overall. (Along with Tetora. Where's that "Nobody in Ryuseitai is smart" line.)

Q: Where would you go on a first date?

🐍: Why not try bouldering? It's an effective way to get some exercise. Even if you're a beginner, I can teach you step by step.

🥕: No matter where we go, I think I'd have fun as long as I'm with someone I like... though, personally, I'd be even happier if the place had mascots.

Midori prefers to decide on date locations with his partner and seems to be perfectly fine with both indoor and outdoor activities.
