Scaramouche was always making "adoption" jokes. For example, he would jokingly tell his friends "adopt me", and everyone knew it was a joke and could call him "son" or something, a kind of joking roleplay. Of course, Scara was joking too, but maybe it wasn't subconsciously.

But you noticed something. Maybe that "adopt me" friend wasn't joking subconsciously, he was just looking for someone who could be a parental figure for him. Even if it was a joke.But even he didn't realize it.

You just wanted to understand whether your thought was true or not. Now you're walking at the school hallway with Scaramouche at lunch break.He was talking to you about the teachers making the exams so difficult, and suddenly you asked him "did you eat your lunch today?".

He raised his eyebrows. He wasn't expecting such an irrelevant question.

"Ha-What??Where did this come from now?"
