As the girls are still trying to get to know each other, I feel it's too early to drop the magical girl card. Let them have a perfectly normal lunch.

I don't think now is a good time to poke Evelyn about being a magical girl...

Hmm,

We are in the middle of a school day.

Edit:

Yeah, I think I agree, also I like your handling of being put on the spot better too.

The last part sounds to you like people don't hug each other enough here. Having been reintroduced to the wonderful word of mutual hugs, that kind of blasphemy is something you would be completely willing and eager to rectify... if there wasn't a table between the two of you. You silently curse the inanimate, contrived, interfering bastard piece of plastic and wood. Some day... Outwardly, you simply nod and motion towards Kishi.

This makes me want an Omake where Tamiko meets Sabrina at a Hug Junkies Anonymous meeting.

You lean back in a placating manner under the heavy stare of the two girls. A very nervous smile creeps onto your face and you can feel sweat forming on your neck as you try to make up some kind of excuse to avoid actually taking a side. Sadly, this seems to do nothing to alleviate the intense stares and you are forced to stutter out something.

"U-um... Sorry. Y-you lost me a long time ago. B-besides, I haven't even read that book series. I-I mean, I can't really say anything about it..."

This doesn't really have the desired effect as Kishi nods furiously and Evelyn humphs loudly.

"G-good, and p-please don't e-ever pick it up."
"No, you should take your time to go through them. You won't regret it!"


You sigh at the reactions and slump weakly on the table. Seems that those two can get into an awfully heated debate about their tastes in literature, meaning that if you want to be able to participate, you'll have to direct their attention elsewhere. You take a quick look around yourself to get some ideas. Since you are in the school cafeteria...

"...R-regardless, can't we talk about something else? F-for example, favorite subjects or food?"

The two girls pause for a moment to consider. You take the chance to let out a relaxing breath and think about your own favorites. With your previous experiences from school and not being acknowledged, you don't really enjoy coming here too much in the first place. As for food... Well, the meals during the last few days have been the most delicious ones in years, but that may be because you finally had someone to eat them with...

"Well, I have always liked P.E. myself, especially when we play team sports. I think we have that later today too! As for food, hmm... I like crêpes and anything with chocolate, I guess..."

You are broken from your thoughts by Evelyn, whose exclamation is soon followed by Kishi's more quiet one.

"I-I like history m-myself, and l-languages too... F-for food I t-think noodles are the b-best..."

Both of the girls are looking towards you expectantly, clearly waiting for you to add your favorites to the list.

What do you do?

[] Your favorite food?
-[] Anything goes (as long as there are others).
-[] Ice scream seems like a good choice?
-[] Uncle's cooking, how the heck does he do that...
-[] Fast food.
-[] Something else.

[] Favorite subject if your really had to choose?
-[] ...There really isn't one.
-[] Maybe arts, you can just focus on the drawing. And it reminds you of the times when you could spend time with Kimiko.
-[] Sports? If it isn't a team game or doesn't require to compete with others...
-[] Something else.

[] Avoid the question.

[] Delve more into the topics.

[] Talk about something else.
-[] Magical Girls.
-[] Movies.
-[] The afternoon.
--[] Plan something?

[] Write-in.

Some things you just can't escape...

This seems to fit. She seems to have a positive view of it already and it shows our association between favourites and company.

-[x]Geography

Art is too attention seeking as is sports. Our poor literature knowledge suggests it' not going to be a language and probably not something associated with bookish sorts like a science, nor history as that's associated with stories. Yet we've shown interest in other cultures and countries, it's a way of connecting with our overseas uncle and shows our desire to connect to other people.

Omake: Hug Junkies Anonymous
This makes me want an Omake where Tamiko meets Sabrina at a Hug Junkies Anonymous meeting.
Well, what do you know, I actually deliver! Now pray that Firn and Moid don't kill me for this travesty...

=====

"Hello everyone, my name is Sayaka, and i have a hugging problem."

"Hello Sayaka!"

"I think I will start from the beginning... It started off innocently enough with the occasional cuddle with Koko, and the goodbye hug with Mom. But before too long it started to become more common. I would greet my friends with a hug, and as stress from my work started to pile, it... It became a coping mechanism. I couldn't live without hugs, and before I knew it was my first solution to everything. I... I didn't think I could deal with the problems without hugging someone, whether the one in trouble was me or my friend. I have a problem, I know, but I can't stop! Thank you for listening..."

Tamiko listened to the blunette's story with interest. She could see the parallels on their descends into the madness of hugs: it was so similar with every one before her too. The ring of chairs was closing on her, though, and she rose from her seat to give her story.

"Hello every-"
"Hello everyone, my name is Sabrina, and I have a hugging problem."


Tamiko looked to her left in shock as the white-haired girl rose to stand as if she wasn't even there. She couldn't find it in her to protest over the action, though, it wouldn't do her any good here either. With tired resignation, Tamiko slumped onto her seat and listened through the various stories again.

Seems that there would be no help from here either...

Not entirely serious.

Well reasoned, looks good.

Though other cultures and countries might be closer to [o] Anthropology (understanding people and cultures - seems like something she would have a drive to know ? )

Anthropology is a bit more specialised than school subjects tend to be
