It was just starting to beco cold when the snow began.I had been excitedly hoping that with all this snow school would cancelled, but alas, no such announcent ca and so I had no choice but prepare to head out.
It was probably quite hard on those who were commuting by train but I was fine and dandy in my car.Honestly, there wasnt anything more dangerous than wearing loafers on a snowy day. And it got into your shoes too. Tis were hard back in my old life as a commoner.Only primary schoolers would feel happy about snow.
As I was watching from the comfort of my car, I saw a number of people slip on the snow. It sure was dangerous.
Most students are Suiran were driven, but a few of the ones that lived close-by would walk with friends. I caught a few of them here and there. The loafers were sinking into the snow so they were having a hard ti of walking.Despite that, there was a student walking properly through it.
It was Wakaba-chan. Wakaba-chan was wearing rain boots.
Not the plain ones that fishmongers wore. On the side of her boots were flower patterns.
Still, I could respect that she chose practicality over fashion. Just what youd expect from her.
Wakaba-chans nose was all red, and her face was buried in her m.u.f.fler.
m.u.f.flers
I had the sudden urge to knit a m.u.f.fler.I was almost always dropped off by car so there really wasnt much reason to own one. Except as fashion, that is.I imdiately headed to the Handicrafts Club with so yarn.
Knitting was popular here in winter, so plenty of them were sitting around with knitting needles.It sure looked fun. I wasnt very skilled so my knitting was loose or crooked in places.
Knitting, Reika-sama? Could it be that you had a tangle again? asked the senpai who beca the new Club President.
No, I was simply thinking of trying a m.u.f.fler this ti.
My, a m.u.f.fler. For your own use? Or were you thinking of giving it as a present to sobody?
I had not truly considered it I just wanted to make one.
Im pretty sure even Oniisama or Otousama would be bothered if I foisted one of my m.u.f.flers onto them. I had bought so of the softest wool, so I planned to just unravel it at ho later.
Ummm Speaking of which, Reika-sama, I need to speak to you about sothing.
What might the matter be?
The Club President seed like she had a hard ti finding the words. I had a bad feeling. Everybody else seed to be glancing this way too. The feeling was getting worse and worse.
Youve really been coming to our club a lot, Reika-sama
Yes
Uohhnn, was it finally ti? After a year of nonchalantly coming here, it was about ti that sobody asked what the heck I was doing here. Despite her gentle face, it seed the Club President could deal with conflict.What was I going to do? Huh. What if when she evicted , I just pretended not to hear
Reika-sama, would you like to join our club?
Eh!?
The President gently handed an application form.
Last year on the last day of club activities, all of us discussed it. You seem to love handicrafts, and you helped us with the bouquet for the school festival, didnt you? So we wondered why not have you join us officially.
They were talking about that during that tea party I wasnt invited to!?
May I truly join the club?
Yes, of course.
But did you not find a bother at first?
No, not at all!
The Presidents eyes were swimming. I knew it
Um, we would be happy too if you joined us, Reika-sama, one of the mbers spoke up.
Really? I looked around, only to find the other mbers nodding with smiles.
After a whole year, I finally got in! I could get rid of the Provisional now!
I gripped the application form tightly in my hands.
I shall join the Handicrafts Club! I declared.
Everybody clapped in welco.
Happy! So happy!
My mood suddenly sky-rocketed. So happy I was that before I knew it I had stood up and placed my hands on my hips.
Then as an official mber, I shall spare no effort in working for the club. My first act will be to negotiate with the student council, claim the budget that we deserve, and guarantee a larger and better club room for us!
Eh-, n.o.body really asked for that
Leave it to , everybody! The most conspicuous location shall be allocated to us, next school festival!
Reika-sama, were happy the way we are!
And being sowhere too eye-catching is a little
Please, Reika-sama! Please quit this
My new club mbers stopped in a panic.
Oops. The happiness almost ran to my head. The new Club President was already half pulling at my application form. What are you doing? I wont return it now. Ill bring it back tomorrow with the stamps on it. Accept it without crushing it, okay?And to that last girl, you werent telling to quit this club, were you? Im not leaving this place until graduation.
Today, Kisshouin Reika beca a full mber of the Handicrafts Club. Uhohooi!
I texted Aoi-chan and Sakura-chan about my acceptance into the Handicrafts Club.
Im so happy for you! I knew they would see what a good person you were! ca Aoi-chans heart-warming reply.
After silently pressuring them for so long, no wonder they folded. As always, stubborn persistence will win the day, said Sakura-chans. Sharp-tongued as always.
After that, Sakura-chan mailed about Maihama-sans situation. Apparently at Yurinomiya she was all but boasting that she was Emperors girlfriend. She told everybody about how Emperors mother, and the woman he idolised as an older sister had already approved of her.
Uheeh~
Maihama-san sure was running her mouth, just because she went to a different school. Had this happened at Suiran she would have been lynched in a day.
Even though she had only co to pick him up from Suiran the one ti, according to Sakura-chans information, she had gone to the Kaburagi house a number of tis.
Anyhow, maybe thanks to Enjous encouragent, Kaburagi was slowly getting better. The damage still seed quite deep though because he hadnt taken care of Maihama-san yet.
Being perfectly honest, I think the best way to get him his energy back would be to hold a s...o...b..ll tournant.It wouldnt be surprisingly, considering the way he treated cavalry battles. I could already see him gathering an army of follows, and shouting Left and right wings, flank them!I doubted that the school would organise a s...o...b..ll tournant just for his sake though.
Going back to Maihama-san though, she was kind of like a mini Kimidol-Kisshouin Reika, wasnt she.
After officially joining the club I wanted to be a model mber, so I made sure to co each day and furious knitted away. Thanks to that my scarf had beco oddly long and was kind of a weird shape, so I converted it into a lap blanket instead.Once it was done though it wasnt very good, so I gave it to Otousama.Of course, the tanuki got ahead of himself, and said Reika is such a daddys girl, p.i.s.sing off.And then I heard from his secretary Sasajima-san about how he was running around showing the thing off, so right now I was in the middle of deep, profound regret
By the way, a reminder that they used emails with their phones over there. Like, they never used SMS texting, it was always a changeable email-address registered to the phone number.
