Hi guys! Looking for experienced cleaners or type-setters to help with the .
The Tosa Nikki (Tosa Diary) is a poetic diary written anonymously by the tenth-century j.a.panese poet Ki no Tsurayuki. The text details a 55-day journey in 935 returning to Kyoto from Tosa province, where Tsurayuki had been the provincial governor. The prose account of the journey is punctuated by j.a.panese poems, purported to have been composed on the spot by the characters.
The Tosa Nikki is the first notable example of the j.a.panese diary as literature. Until its ti, the word "diary" (nikki) denoted dry official records of governnt affairs, written by n in Chinese. By contrast, the Tosa is written in the j.a.panese language, using phonetic kana characters. Literate n of the period wrote in both kana and Chinese, but won typically were not taught the latter, being restricted to kana literature. By framing the diary in the point of view of a fict.i.tious female narrator, Tsurayuki could avoid employing Chinese characters or citing Chinese poems, focusing instead on the aesthetics of the j.a.panese language and its poetry.
Around the ti when each student was decided in their cla.s.s which events to appear in, Iwamuro-kun wanted to talk to .
Actually, Im slated to appear in the costu race again but
This ti his cla.s.s was going with Peter Pan as their the. Wasnt that fine? Youll get to wear cute outfits again, you know~?Ah, but I guess he wouldnt have been picked for Tinkerbell
My cla.s.s were pretty enthused about the Cinderella we did last year. Thats why they bugged to do it this year too I an, I dont mind of course but Ive been wondering what Nonose-san would think of that
Apparently this was about the maiden in love worrying about what his crush would think about his cross-dressing.
I think Nonose-san would find it funny and have a great ti.
Maybe. You dont think shed be disgusted?
Then what if you just didnt partic.i.p.ate then?
Ah, he was conflicted. I see, so he wanted to cross-dress that badly. There werent all that many chances for him to openly cross-dress after all.
Theres sothing wrong with , isnt there?
What do you an?
Its weird that I have so much fun dressing like a girl
Iwamuro-kuns expression was depressed. Eh!? Was he agonising over his secret hobby!?
That is simply not true! It hardly hurts anybody so you have the right to do what makes you happy! And you do not need to worry! The world is overflowing with n who secretly wish they could try being a girl!
Eh? Really?
Absolutely! Please think back. Think about last years cross-dressing maid caf. Do you not rember all of the boys who gleefully put on the maid uniforms? It was certainly not just you, Iwamuro-kun. Have you ever read Ki no Tsurayukis Tosa Nikki? Even a thousand years ago there was a senpai of your hobby. It is okay. You are not the only one, Iwamuro-kun. If you still feel worried then I will ask Nonose-san myself what she thinks about the cross-dresser in the race.
Youd do that!?
Yes, leave it to . I am absolutely on your side, Iwamuro-kun.
Master!
With a brighter expression than before, he told , Even if I end up as Wendy, Im going to curl my wig! before heading off.
I suppose I needed to track Nonose-san down now. Iwamuro-kuns awakening was probably in large part due to my temptations, so I felt a kind of responsibility for him.
I found her chatting with so friends in the cla.s.sroom.
Nonose-san, I said casually.
Yes, Reika-sama?
Actually, during the Athletics Carnival, would it be possible for you to take over the cla.s.s for the periods when I am partic.i.p.ating myself? I do apologise for this. I still feel bad for the ti we went on that excursion
Of course its possible! Ill help as much as you need to. Please ask whatever you need! she said.
Reika-sama, if theres anything we can help you with then dont ever hesitate to ask for our help! said one of her friends.
Thank you. Hearing that overjoys .
Her friends all agreed to help. Now was ti for the main topic though.
Speaking of the Athletics Carnival, apparently in the other cla.s.ses they have been having a great ti forcing the costu races female roles onto their boys. It sounds like fun, does it not?
Goodness! Is thats what theyre doing!?
Actually, the cla.s.s I was in last year had a boy who played Cinderella. That was a great ti.
Huh. Ahh! Wasnt it Iwamuro-kun that did that? she said as her face lit up in rembrance.
Why yes, it was. Iwamuro-kun is a diligent person so he truly gave the role his all. Because of that, I think the costu was very polished.
It was, wasnt it. I feel a bit bad but I was dying from laughter as well. Who could have imagined that huge fra in a dress Haha, she chuckled.
At the very least, Nonose-san didnt seem to be disgusted. Alright!
Say, Nonose-san? Could I speak to you for a mont?
She followed away from her group of friends.
The truth is, Iwamuro-kun is cross-dressing again for the costu race this year.
Eh, really?
Yes. Although the details are being kept hush-hush until the day, that is what I was told.
Huuh~ Iwamuro-kun is cross-dressing again. Maybe I should tease him about it later.
The issue is that the person himself is a little worried about how others will see him.
Gosh. He shouldnt have any reason to worry at all. I actually really want to see it again.
I thought you would say that! Then please tell him that as well! Let him know that you look forward to it.
I will then. Maybe if the circ.u.mstances permit Ill get a photo to commorate it too. But huh, cross-dressing again. Maybe our cla.s.s should do sothing like that too.
Incidentally, my cla.s.s had decided on The Town Musicians of Bren for our costu race, with the compet.i.tors dressed as different animals.
And as for why it ended up as Town Musicians of Bren, thanks to my mouse and sheep costus last year everybody had this weird idea that I liked costud animals. Thats why they, in a show of misguided consideration, decided to try and put in as many animals as they could for .
Hold on guys, I dont actually have much interest in costus. I just wore those because I had to.
Anyway, although they had chosen that the for my sake I firmly rejected it. As for my reason
Last year Kaburagi-sama cautioned for my lax att.i.tude in failing to wear a nose. But running while trying to breathe in that would be too much for
Just bringing up his na had caused an imdiate effect. As expected of the Emperor.
But after that they stressed to each other that the Emperor is fussy about noses and began preparing them for the costus. Oh boy~
At any rate that was what was happening with my cla.s.s as a whole, but right now I was talking to Nonose-san about Iwamuro-kun. I brought up the idea of having her help with Iwamuro-kuns transformation.
Last year I gave Iwamuro-kun help with make-up and his clothing. I must admit I had a lot of fun.
Really!? That sounds so fun!
Well, this year pretty much everybody in his cla.s.s is helping him, so I am unsure how well they will take if we intrude. Still, I think just a little bit would be fine.
Yeah. I want to try putting make-up on Iwamuro-kun too.
I have no doubt that he will allow you if you but ask.
I even managed to get her to invite Miharu-chan and Cla.s.s Pres. Gosh, what a skilled cupid I am!
Now that he was discharged and healthy, Yukino-kun gave scented candles and towels from the UK as a thank you for carrying him to the nurses office.
Unfortunately he wouldnt be allowed to partic.i.p.ate in the athletics et.
Please do your best in my place. I got you the towel for when youre training. Id be really happy if you used it, he told . Yukino-kun! Youre such a good boy!
The aromatic candles are like the ones that Niisama uses at ho. They sll really nice, so I think youll like them, Reika-oneesan.
The sa scented candles as Enjou I wasnt sure how I felt about that. But Yukino-kun had ant well by them. In that case Id accept them gratefully.
I was going to be competing in the three-legged race with Rune-chan. Last year I suffered a frustrating loss against Wakaba-chan but this year I was taking 1st place!
The two of us headed outside to train when I caught sight of Wakaba-chan being bombarded by bean bags. Dont tell she was competing in the ball toss event? So reckless Youre going to end up black and blue, you know.
Rune-chan and I began our three-legged training. While we were training I heard girls cheering from the other side. In the ring of girls were Kaburagi and Enjou, training for their own races. It was nice to how lively they were.
The longer I practised with Rune-chan, the more our breathing grew in sync. Seeing our progress, we decided to take a short break.
I imdiately used the towel I got from Yukino-kun. It was a towel that hed picked as being the softest one, so little wonder that it felt wonderful against my skin!
Oh my. Doesnt it the towel that Reika-sama is using seems to match Enjou-samas?
Eh?
Sobody with a sharp eye had noticed the towel I was using. When they brought it to attention, everybody who had been cheering for those two began to compare our towels.
My! They really do match!
I know that brand! Very few shops in j.a.pan sell it!
Could it be that one of them had given the other as a present?
No! I received this from Enjou-samas younger brother!
Goodness! Even your families know each other!
That is not what I!
I tried to deny it but n.o.body could hear over the noise of the girls.
Yukino-kuuuuun! It wasnt just the candles that matched!? Thats sothing you really need to tell in advance, okay!
Sotis the pure and good-natured Yukino-kun would create dilemmas without knowing
I sealed that towel away as sothing to only be used at ho.
Ah! My Bea-tan doll hadnt progressed at all!!
