Ririna was a high schooler now. Despite my apprehensions, she didnt go on a rampage like three years ago, and she didnt have problems making friends either. To my surprise she was actually doing pretty well for herself. She had rounded up the External Students and was ruling over her own clique now.
And since she wasnt just so External but my younger cousin, apparently even the Pivoine mbers in her grade couldnt make a move against her. Using my na like that while I had no idea. What a terrifying girl.
I had asked her friends before to tell if she ever went crazy again, but things seed to be fine for the mont.
Although, I did receive one report before that she had b.u.t.ted heads with so undercla.s.sman. Despite my worries though, it turned out just to be Bird-Brained Katsuragi so I ignored it.Later, Ririna ca up to breathing excitedly.
I wasted that idiot! she boasted, like so kind of thug.
Kind as I was, I decided not to ntion birds of a feather.
Anyhow, I hoped she wouldnt do anything to harm my reputation here.
In primary and middle school, the girls of my grade had only two major cliques; mine and Tsuruhana-sans. Ever since we entered high school though, all of the new Externals were leading to a new, third faction being born. It wasnt sothing you could afford to ignore.
Also Fellow Stalking horse was getting more and more popular amongst the girls. Even though we were both stalking horses, how co the guys were all avoiding !? Wasnt this unfair? I want to be popular too!
Thats what I had concluded, when a few days later I saw Ririna in the cafeteria surrounded by boys, giving such a shock that I couldnt stop trembling.
What was it just
Wondering if there wasnt at least one boy interested in , my eyes darted around the crowd but every single boy I t eyes with looked away in fear.
Oh no What if I was the Village Chief forever
I had a ray of hope though. Mao-chans party was coming up.After she invited I checked my schedule, only to find out I was free indeed. When I told her she was so happy she started clapping. How much cuter could she get!
And what was even better was that Ichinokura-san would be coming too. Ichinokura-san who had treated delicately like I was a princess. A ray of light to sooth the discomfort of my heart!
It was making weird noises, actually. Was it because I hadnt used it for a while? Maybe it was too old?
Anyhow, I was exercising while watching inforrcials. Oohh So of these looked interestingBefore I knew it, I was off the stepper and on the phone, ready to order.
Today was Mao-chans birthday party so the mont my cla.s.ses were finished I rushed to her house.The party had already begun at the Sawarabi household, and Mao-chan was surrounded by cla.s.smates.
Reika-oneesama! You ca!
Happy Birthday, Mao-chan, I said as I held out my present.
It was pretty hard finding sothing for a little girl, but after a lot of searching I decided on a finely ornanted music box that looked like so sort of antique.
When you opened it up, a little prince and princess pair danced to Soday My Prince Will Co.
I had been really worried about whether shed like it, but when she opened it up her eyes sparkled. Hahh, thank goodness.
Isnt that great, Mao-chan?
Yeah!
Sitting next to Mao-chan was Yuuri-kun, the boy who rang the bell with her during the sumr party.It seems like Mao-chan didnt need to wait for soday since her prince was sitting beside her. Kuh-, so I lost here too
Where was my prince candidate? I looked around but unfortunately he still hadnt co due to work reasons. I had so carefully done my hair too
Anyhow, apparently they had already done the cake cutting, because a waiter brought a slice. I thanked him and then took a bit. It was delicious. Shockingly, Mao-chans mother had made not only this cake, but the rest of the food too. Normally people in the upper cla.s.s left the cooking to full-ti chefs or maids, or so I had thought.
I tried so of the other food next. All of it was just delicious. Not only did it taste like a professionals, but sohow it had that tough of a mothers ho cooking, which just made it all the better.
The Sarawabi family was powerful enough to get Mao-chan into the Pivoine. There was no way that Mrs. Sarawabi couldnt hire sobody else to do this. But her cooking skills were amazing regardless!
I was shooting the food a look of respect when Mao-chans mum, Inokura-sans older sister, smiled at and said,
Cooking is my hobby.
Her hobby, huh. How niice. I wasnt very good at it. Well, not that I was terrible either.
In the future, if the Kisshouin family ever collapsed, the ch.o.r.es would probably all fall to . I doubted Okaasama could cook. Id never even seen her stand in the kitchen before. In that case, I had no choice but to do my best.
I wish Mao-chans mum would take as a student.
My first act as a prospective disciple was to sample all of the masters cooking.
At first the primary schoolers had kept their distance because they didnt know , but after seeing happily chatting and eating with Mao-chan and Yuuri-kun they gradually ward up to . They started calling Oneesama too. They were all so cute!
They all listened enthusiastically as I told them stories of my ti in primary school. When I told them about how you could beco a hero by winning Suirans cavalry battles, with glittering eyes one boy said,
My Oniichan said the sa thing! Theres a legendary man called the Emperor! Both and Oniichan are aiming to be just like him!
Uwa
The children brought food to , telling how this or that was delicious, so I thanked them and tried it all.
The spinach quiche was yummy.
So was the at pie.
Mmm, and the seafood paella.
Mao-chan and all the other cute little kids kept bringing my yummy dishes. Aahh~ Im so glad I cae~
I was chewing on so bruschetta when Ichinokura-san ca here from work.
Haruto-niisama! Youre laate! complained Mao-chan, but she hugged him all the sa.
Sorry, sorry, he apologised, handing her his gift.
Haruto-niisama! she said as she held the gift. Reika-oneesama ca too!
Reika-san?
He discovered surrounded by children.
So youre here too, Reika-san. Thanks for coming.
I am grateful to have been invited. I truly had a good ti today.
I gently dabbed away the tomato sauce on my lips and gave him a smile.
Mao here kept everyone about how she hoped you would co, Reika-san.
I am honoured.
Mao-chans mum ca over with a plate of food.
Haruto, you must be hungry after work, she said, handing him the plate.
Mind if I sit next to you? he asked . Have you eaten too, Reika-san? Neesans cooking is pretty good, you know?
Yes, I had so. Your oneesama is truly a splendid cook.
You dont seem to be eating all that much though
All I had in front of was the bruschetta. After all, I had already cleaned everything else up.
I ate more earlier.
Really?
Speaking of which, I was supposed to be one of those girls without much appet.i.te, wasnt I. I was thinking of furthering that impression when an unexpected curveball was thrown at .
Reika-oneesan really ate a lot just now, didnt she! one of the children innocently exclaid.
Maybe they had ant to support since Ichinokura-san was doubting my words. They started talking about how I ate this dish, and that dish, one after another.
Ichinokura-san seed dumbfounded.
I wanted to dig a hole and bury myself Embarra.s.ssingggg!* The small eater character transford into a ga glutton!
I see. So youve eaten quite a bit, Reika-san.
Yes.
I wanted to run.
Thinking about it, I may have eaten more just now than any normal girl would. And at sobody elses house too.
After thinking for a mont, Ichinokura-san smiled brightly.
Then shall we go sowhere to eat together? I like people who can eat.
Eh!
The Heavens had not forsaken !!
Thank G.o.d I was a such a glutton!
A few days after the party, when I went to the Pet.i.t Pivoine to hand over the photos, an angel of a boy greeted .
Kept you waiting, huh?
played Nier Automata all weekend.
