Today’s school lunch includes green pepper.

Sora notices its smell before taking a bite.

He moves the pepper to the side of his plate.

The classmate beside him eats one piece.

Sora says that green pepper tastes too bitter.

His classmate says she disliked it last year too because it was bitter.

She eats a small piece together with rice.

Sora asks whether that changes the taste.

He chooses the smallest piece on his plate.

First, Sora smells it carefully.

Sora takes just one tiny bite.

The pepper is still bitter.

Sora tries the rest of the piece with rice.

It tastes less bitter than before.

He does not eat every piece of pepper on the plate.

The teacher says learning a new taste can take time.

His classmate smiles without asking him to eat more.

Sora finishes the foods he already likes.

He says he may try one piece again next time.

Sora feels proud that he chose the small bite himself.
