Hi guys! Looking for experienced cleaners or type-setters to help with the .
Prince Arima was son of Emperor Koutoku. It is said that Emperor Koutoku was blessed with his heir, Prince Arima, because he stayed at the Arima Hot Springs in Hyougo Prefecture.
He was accused of, and executed for treason. In part due to two famous poems that he wrote shortly before his death, he is rembered in j.a.panese culture as a tragic hero.
As for another prince accused of sothing similar, Prince Sawara was the heir presumptive to the throne when his older brother was inaugurated as Emperor Kanmu. There were plans to move the capital city but Prince Sawara was opposed, and implicated in the a.s.sa.s.sination of a key individual, Fujiwara no Tanetsugu, supposedly in order to overthrow the court with the aid of the Ootomo and Saeki families.
His brother, Emperor Kanmu, confined him in Otokunidera Temple, and then exiled him to what is now sowhere in Hyougo prefecture, but Prince Sawara died from causes that are still disputed.
After his death though, things did not go well. The Empress Dowager and then the Empress died in succession, and the new Crown Prince, Ate, fell deathly ill. Divination revealed that the cause was Prince Sawaras vengeful spirit.
In fear, Emperor Kanmu posthumously awarded Prince Sawara the t.i.tle of crown prince, and then soon afterwards was posthumously raised to the rank of emperor, and bestowed the posthumous na Sudou(, Path of Worship).Changing just two strokes in the character (worship) gives you (curse).
Incidentally, Kisshouin() literally ans house of good fortune.
While the Athletics Carnival was over, there was still sothing I couldnt accept. After the Athletics Carnival, I went and asked the costu race team why they had worn reggae curls.
The story they told was shocking. Earlier I had used Kaburagis costu criticism from last year as an excuse to get out of partic.i.p.ating. Apparently the boys had actually believed , and decided to humour Kaburagis expectations by going in my place. What the h.e.l.l. So it was him again? So it was all his fault again!?
One of the boys even happily told that that athletics carnival maniac had told them that it was a funny idea. And then the boy said,
Actually, he also told us to do our best because the dragon and the serpent were going to be difficult. Do you know what he ant?
The Chinese Zodiac again!
Huh? But if I was trying to complete the Chinese Zodiac Set, did that an Wakaba-chan was trying to complete so kind of ocean set? During the excursion in first year she played the sea in the play. First the sea, now the fish. I wondered what she was going to do next. Seaweed? Boats? Wai-, was the idiocy contagious!? Now I was thinking like that idiot too!
Nooo, I didnt wanna complete the Chinese Zodiac
I still didnt know who had co up with it but the nickna Prince had managed to stick, at least among so people.
The Arima Onsen was a great place, wasnt it~ j.a.pans oldest hot spring. In my old life Id enjoyed bath salts from the Arima Hot Springs in my family bath, but since I was rich this ti around I had gone to the real thing.Haahh, it was a great trip. My skin was silky smooth when I got out of the water. And the eggs cooked in the hot springs that I had for dinner that night were delicious too! Onsen-boiled eggs were an excellent idea. They went great with caesar salad!
Going back to the nickna though, was Fellow Stalking Horse okay with this? Being nicknad after that tragic prince I an. On the other hand, I suppose the Pivoine was lucky that he wasnt nad Sawara. Curses were scary.
This school, or rather my grade, was oddly fond of nicknas. We had the Emperor, the Prince, Afrodite Hm, and I suppose my G.o.ddess or sothing?
Mmn, I still didnt really get it but the boys called G.o.ddess for so reason, according to Satomi-kun. I an, I suppose I did have a certain refinent that could remind people of a G.o.ddess. Actually calling a G.o.ddess was stretching it though. And kind of scary, besides.
And I still wasnt sure which G.o.ddess they ant. The G.o.ddess of happiness, Kisshouten() maybe? It was just a character away from my surna. It was the sa sort of thing as the Prince Arima nickna.
Oh, speaking of which, Kisshouten was known as a G.o.ddess of beauty too, wasnt she. Not that it really ant anything. I just happened to rember, thats all. Really.
No sooner had the Athletics Carnival ended did the mid-term exams arrive. Last ti I was rank 30, and the ti before that rank 29, so I wanted to get onto that ranking board again this ti! Sure, it was /em>not a good sign that my rank was actually going down with ti, but I was hoping that the studying I did during all those trips to the library would kick in.
I sat down at my desk and opened up my textbook. I wonder if Wakaba-chan was studying right now~
You know, Wakaba-chans family wasnt poor or anything. For one thing they were living in an actual house, and for another their cake shop was doing pretty well in their area.
By no ans were they using milk cartons as flower vases, or saving their bath water in plastic bottles for later use. I saw no signs of such money-saving techniques.
Well, not that I had actually seen them taking their baths, but at the very least they hadnt done that in the manga.
Just the other day they were using the aircon when I visited.
It was just that she had a lot of siblings. After Wakaba-chan was two younger brothers, and a younger sister, so four of them in total. Thats why Wakaba-chan was trying to save money by becoming a scholarship student at Suiran, in preparation for her siblings futures. She was a really filial girl.
Her younger siblings were a naughty bunch, and werent attending Suiran.
Uwah! This oneechans hair is like chocolate cornets or sothing! was the first thing her brother said when seeing .
Owww! was the second thing because Wakaba-chan had imdiately smacked him across the head.
The Takamichi household really seed like a fun place.
Mmn! I decided that I would follow Wakaba-chans example and study. I was going to cling to the ranking boards with everything I had!
That was the mindset I faced the exam with. I think I did pretty well, for t at least. For at least
Anyhow, during the days after the test when I was waiting eagerly for the results, I was spending all my ti on the Bea-tan doll. There was only about a month left until the School Festival. I needed to finish it on ti.
Thanks to Sasajima-sans help the torso was done, as were the arms and legs now. All that was left was the face, but it just wasnt going too well. I had made a number of them all of them were different to the Beatrice photos. And thanks to the regular photos that Uwaka-kun sent, I already had Bea-tans face morised anyhow.
Maybe it was the position of the nose and eyes And I hadnt added the curled hair yet, so maybe thats why it looked different. The plan was to add on Bea-tans iconic curls later, in order to avoid tangles.
Maybe Id talk to the Handicrafts Club for so advice,
Finally, it was the day of the results. As for my own results Ohh! 28th place! I went up! And by two ranks, compared to last ti! Youre amazing, Reika!
Goodness, Reika-sama! 28th place! Thats spectactular!
Reika-sama was 28th place! Last ti you were 30th, werent you? Thats wonderful!
I was basking in the glow of the complints from Serika-chan and the others.
Thank you, everyone. But is 28th place a good score, or an average one, I wonder I am not quite sure myself.
Goodness, I think thats a splendid achievent already. You probably dont understand since you dont have much interest in these things though.
She really doesnt. Reika-sama, you should be a little more proud of your own achievents, you know?
Goodness I replied.
Ohohohohoho. Praise more.
Still, there were plenty of people beyond . This ti 1st place was taken by Kaburagi again, with Enjou in 2nd and Wakaba-chan in 3rd. Sotis I wondered what was inside of their skulls.
Wakaba-chan had learnt from her past experiences. She was standing there looking at the rankings, but her mouth was set in a straight line, and not an speck of celebration could be seen on her face. But. Wakaba-chan, your nostrils are twitching in excitent, you know.
Ill bet she was happy. She was probably thinking of the scholarship bonus that she was getting again.
She told a while back that she on days when she received a bonus she would quietly treat herself to one of the luxury items on our cafeteria nu. Good for you, Wakaba-chan.
I wondered what shed get this ti. This months the was nouvelle cuisine.
Youre amazing, Wakaba-chan! exclaid a student council mber.
Ehehe, thanks.
Apparently Wakaba-chan had grown close with so of them since entering the Student Council. Sotis I spotted her with them.
Looks like I lost to you this ti, Takamichi, sighed Fellow Stalking Horse in good humour.
He was 4th.
Ah well. Try harder next ti, she said.
Sobody sounds d.a.m.ned confident, he joked.
The two of them seed pretty close as well. It was good that she wasnt alone. The looks she was getting from Prince Arima fans were pretty harsh though.
That was when Kaburagi and Enjou ca along. Although the people around them made a fuss about their arrival, they just ca, looked at the results, and then casually walked away.
Wakaba-chan was still talking to Fellow Stalking Horse. I did not miss the glance that Kaburagi gave her as he walked away.
I wonder how Kaburagi actually felt about her
With the Athletics Carnival and the mid-terms over now, all anybody had on their minds was the School Festival. My cla.s.s was doing a Chinese tea caf this ti. I had a bunch left over from that ti with Ichinokura-san in Taiwan. Hopefully I contributed sothing with the idea.
Besides that was the preparations for the Handicrafts Clubs exhibit. I was the Club President, so I couldnt be dragging us down now, could I!
Alright! Leave it to , your Club President, everybody!
And my first job as Club President was to get my own exhibit ready. Today I brought my Bea-tan doll to school, hoping to get everybodys advice.
Before heading to the club, I popped into the salon for a bit to have so tea. I looked into my bag at the doll. I had what I thought were the three best heads with , but which would I go with~? Personally, I thought all of them were cute, but
While I was sitting in the corner of the salon, holding each head up to compare, Kaburagi suddenly ca over with a confused look on his face.
The heck is that? The Cerberus?
Haaaaaahhh!? Fight , d.a.m.nit!
