Bless all of his wonderful friends. Niou for giving this silly rumor exactly the degree of seriousness it deserved, Yanagi for sharing the joke with him, and Sanada for being Sanada and missing it. The combination is too much for Yukimura's irritability, and after a moment to process it all, he has to cover his mouth as he breaks into quiet but hearty laughter. He'd needed that.

After a few moments, he lowers his hand and starts to unpack his lunch. "I see. I'd like to spend lunch discussing other things, but I don't mind a moment of fact-checking." That's his tacit request to Yanagi to keep the subject brief alongside his assent to fill in whatever gaps his friend has. "The premise itself is flawed: Von Aegir-san briefly put her hand over mind in a gesture meant to comfort after the subject of hospitals came up. I don't think she was prepared for how it was going to be taken by the class."

After a brief pause, Yukimura sighs. "Even so, I hadn't imagined it would go this far. What a problem..." That invitation for tomorrow wasn't going to help things, either, but he could deal with that later.
