Not long after I t Yukino-kun, the word was spreading that Enjous younger brother had entered the Suiran primary school section.According to the rumours the boy was as good-looking as his older brother. Hordes of girls went to the primary school section to see him, and when they ca back they said he was adorable, which just fed back into the problem.But Enjou responded to it. With an unusually stern expression, he said,
My brother has a weak body, so could you please not cause such a fuss?
Thanks to that, the building rampage dissipated into nothing.
Yukino-kun even ca up as a topic in the salon, but I guess even Enjou couldnt treat the Pivoine mbers that way.
We had no idea that you had a younger brother, Enjou-sama. You should bring him here to visit, said the President.
Sure. Should we get the chance.
Apparently many girls have already gone their way into the primary school section to see him. They say he looks just like his older brother and is terribly cute.
He is cute, but my little brother has always been ill with asthma, so Im worried that hell have an attack if people cause too much of an uproar. I want him to have a nice, peaceful ti here.
Goodness! Why that is terrible. Then we will ask the Pet.i.t Pivoine to cooperate in helping Yukino-kun enjoy a peaceful school life. It wouldnt do to have fools loitering around him.
Please.
Enjou smiled, causing the girls gathered around Kaburagi and him to turn red.And so, with the President of the Pivoine as an ally, Enjou solidified his protection.
So Yukino-kun had a weak const.i.tution I suppose he was a bit pale.But huh. That scher cared so much about his younger brother. Didnt expect this side to him.
I was drinking milk tea when I t eyes with the devil in question. Urgh.
Kisshouin-san, I heard you t my brother?
Eh
I could feel a cold sweat forming. Could it be that the one who started all this was ?! Oh dear
Ah, yes, I happened to et him when I visited the Pet.i.t Pivoine. I was there to hand sothing to a girl there. The one who opened the door happened to be your younger brother. Truly, what a coincidence, I said, making doubly sure to emphasise that it was a coincidence.
Stop it! Im not your enemy!
Mm, my brother told . Thank you for keeping him company.
No need
Was he really thanking ? Unlike Yukino-kun, there was no trusting this guy.
Kisshouin, you t Yukino? interrupted Kaburagi.
So he knew him too. Well, it made sense considering he was best friends with Enjou.
Yes, well.
Hmmmmm
Um, he is very sweet and kind boy, is he not.
Hmmmmm
For so reason Kaburagi frowned.
Enjou was still wearing that unreadable smile as he thanked .
I was getting a bad feeling so I hastily retreated from the salon.
Right now I had a bigger problem than the incident with Yukino-kun. The 1st years were deciding which clubs to join. Honestly speaking, the Handicrafts Club was kind of a plain one. All the mbers were the quiet types, and there werent many of them either. Thats why I had to pull my weight to get new mbers!
Ever since becoming an official mber, I had pretty much co every day they were open. It made sense. I was an official mber, after all.
Today was no exception, as I hurried to the clubroom. My bag was filled with snacks that I had just stolen from the Pivoine salon, which I was going to use to entertain prospective mbers. Hows that for being a hostess!Generally it was forbidden to bring snacks to Suiran so this would probably give us quite the advantage. Hu hu hu
While I was making the club great again, so new students ca to look. I shot up. Fresh at!For split second they seed startled.Oh? How co? Were they nervous? Ohh! I know! Thats what the snacks were for!
With a smile, I beckoned the younglings over to a seat.
Co in, sit down. We have sweets, you know?
Eh-
How about so tea? We have so good blends.
Blends that I also stole from the salon.Despite the tea and sweets in front of them, the newcors seed to shrink in on themselves. What was stopping them from just relaxing and having a chat about club activities? Being the gentle senpai that I was, I gave them a heartfelt smile to help them relax. Smile smile. Hmm? Why did they keep shooting glances at the door? They had only just co.
Feel free to take your ti. Now co, eat up.
Umm But, eating outside the dining hall is And bringing sweets is against the rules as well
My! There is no problem, I guarantee. After all, these were taken from the Pivoine salon.
The colour drained from their faces. Was that one girl over there trembling?
Ummm
Before I could say another word, the newcors shot up and made a break for the door as they repeated apology after apology.
Could it be that I was the reason? But how co? I was so friendly and everything. Far from eating the snacks I prepared, they didnt even take them with them
So more girls appeared after that, but they all had the sa reaction. Even though they were supposed to be having a look, they all left the mont they arrived. And not only did they not eat the snacks, they didnt even touch the tea. The worst one was when the girl shut the door the mont she opened it and ran. What the heck!I got a little annoyed after a while and wouldnt let the next one leave without eating the snacks, but the girl turned blue and muttered,
If I eat this Ill
Youll what? This isnt food from Hades, you know. Now co. Eat. Eaaaat.
With teary eyes, the girl nibbled on a madeleine.
She just swallowed, didnt she? She would never escape now.
One new mber, confird. It was ti to take her signature.
After a while, the Club President moved as far as possible into the clubroom.
Ehh~? But I want to contribute as an official mber of the club. Ill serve tea or whatever you need.
Then, the Club President ordered a line of club mbers to sit in front of like a wall, blocking from view.
But would we even get mbers now? I was worried. Maybe I really should Ah, I cant see. C-, Can you move?
Today I was going to eat with Ichinokura-san.He asked how I felt about j.a.panese food, so I OKd it. Where was he going to take though? One of those fancy, traditional kaiseki places? Instead he took to a kamashi place.
Ingredients and rice are cooked together in a pot which they are served in. Kind of like a slant-eyed paella. ntally a.s.sociated with what people were eating after the disastrous 1923 Kantou Earthquake. This is a picture of a fancier snow crab one.
When you ca down to it, kamashi wasnt sothing you would a.s.sociate with the image of haute cuisine, so I was genuinely surprised. I loved eating this in my last life though. Actually I just love rice in general. Viva el arroz!
Maybe this is a little plain for you. If youre not okay with this place, I was going to take you to a great Italian restaurant instead.
No, this place is perfect.
Kamashi~ Kamashi~ Apparently by choosing this kamashi place instead of so fancy French restaurant Ichinokura-sans opinion of shot up.Actually, this place was at least fancy enough to have private rooms, so it wasnt like we were slumming it up.
This place does amazing kamashi. I really wanted you to try it, Reika-san. My sister told that you seed to enjoy her paella, so I thought you might like this too.
My.
Exactly right!
There were so many different kamashi dishes on the nu that I just couldnt choose.
The red salmon and ikura one look sooo good~
Red salmon and ikura(salted salmon roe).
And the chicken one was such a close compet.i.tor.
Chicken kamashi.
The prawns were tempting too.
But you couldnt go wrong with the cla.s.sics like five-item gomoku
Gomoku kamashi.
I think Ill be ordering the red salmon and ikura set. What about you, Reika-san?
Then I shall go with the gomoku set.
It was a difficult decision. I didnt regret it though. I loved quail eggs. But still, that red salmon
When they brought us our food, besides the kamashi, the set al ca with chawanmushi, deep-fried tofu, pickles, and a clear soup broth too. I loved chawanmushi! And it had gingko inside!
And the broth in the kamashi was amazing! Choosing this place was the right choice! Hm, I think Id leave the quail egg for last.
Reika-san. If youd like, shall we co here again?
Holy h.e.l.l! What a wonderful idea, Ichinokura-san!
I carefully moved my quail egg to my chawanmushi, and then exchanged kamashi. Red salmon was great!
When I realised it, I had been speaking pa.s.sionately with Ichinokura-san about the kamashi and chawanmushi, and he was telling about his favourite foods too. Apparently he preferred taste over form. I totally get you, Ichinokura-san. I could really get onboard with his preferences.We spent our ti chapping happily about food, and began ordering one thing after another on the nu. The two of us finished it all. The matcha green tea ice cream for dessert was delicious too. Apparently they made it in this restaurant. How splendid.
When it was ti to go, we made a firm promise to do this again soti.
It seems like I had t soone I could show all of the real to.
