Hi guys! Looking for experienced cleaners or type-setters to help with the .
Kaburagi had never eaten handmade sweets.
Even as far back as primary school, he never once touched the food the girls made in cla.s.s, or the valentines chocolates that they made him.
That sa Kaburagi had eaten the handmade biscuits that so School Festival caf had made. Not only that but he had gone out of his way to praise the baker, and even gave a rare smile to a girl.
The shock that this gave Suiran was worse than even the ti when they had co to school together.
Before this, the only exception that Kaburagi had made to date was food that Yurie-sama had made.
A flood of girls had wondered if perhaps the Emperor had changed his position, and frantically brought him food, but as usual he shot them down.
I dont eat handmade food.
Then what was eating that biscuit about!? was the natural reaction, intensifying the rumours.
Since n.o.body could actually ask Kaburagi, so of the girls even started relying on fortune tellers.
Thanks to that, Wakaba-chan was under unnecessary scrutiny once again, making enemies of a bunch of girls once again. n.o.body was saying it aloud, but you could tell that they were wondering if Kaburagi had feelings, for her. I wondered that too, but unlike , the Kaburagi Fans were pressured by it.
Apparently so girls went to the caf just to see what those biscuits were all about and left after leaving a slew of insults.
This isnt anything special.
Dont get c.o.c.ky just because he praised these asly biscuits.
Stuff like that.
I personally thought they were pretty good myself, though
But well, its not like they ca there to actually taste them or anything, I suppose.
Anyway, besides the biscuit incident, there was one other little topic people were discussing. It was about how Enjou treated to a latte art.
I heard that even though she didnt have a ticket, Enjou-sama especially made a latte art for Reika-sama!
Gosh! So Enjou-sama really does like!?
I could hear comnts about it here and there.
What a nuisance.
Sothing just for Reika-sama! Im so envious!
And it was such a cute rabbit too.
Even the girls who ca with were causing a fuss.
It was surely just so whim of Enjou-samas, I insisted.
Thats not true. This is Enjou-samas way of being a gentleman, Reika-sama.
Gentleman!? This guy was just trying to use to draw attention away from what Kaburagi did.
And he chose the rabbit because no doubt he heard about Kaburagis crackpot Chinese Zodiac theory and picked it to make fun of .
That was just the kind of guy Enjou was. You could totally tell from the smile.
And even though he was just so amateur, why was it done so well. I was so frustrated that I ignored everyones pleas and ssed it up with my spoon.
Completing the Chinese Zodiac? How could I possibly have such a dopey ambition!
Honestly This School Festival was supposed to be fun, but thanks to those two the first day had turned into a fiasco.
On the second day, the School Festival was open to anybody with a ticket.
Uwaka-kun and co. had wanted to co to last years too, but I politely turned them down. After all, I was wearing sheep ears, and I didnt exactly want him to (good intentions or not) spread word of how I looked just like his beloved dog.
This year though, he helped out with the Bea-tan doll, and he seed to be really looking forward to it, so I decided to hand them all tickets. And I very, very carefully warned him not to talk about my similarities to Bea-tan.
Besides their entrance tickets, I had given them a bunch of coupons as well, since none of the attractions were taking real money. It was a system where we instead purchased coupons to use in advance. As a form of contribution to the school, each year the Pivoine would buy these coupons in bulk and then distribute them to its mbers. I pretty much never spent all of mine.
Since Uwaka-kun and the others were coming this year, I ended up dividing the coupons between the five of them.
Although they were overjoyed to be getting them they were worried that I wasnt getting enough. That was no issue, of course. After all, besides the bunch that the Pivoine bought on their own, the parents of its mbers bought a bunch of coupons as their own contribution to the school. If coupons were money, I was as good as a millionaire. If you five dont have enough, you can always co asking for more, you know? Since youre coming, you may as well enjoy everything you can.
Since it was open to people outside of just our high school section, Day 2 of the School Festival was crowded beyond asure. Even the Xu Fu caf was so badly crowded that the orders never seed to end. Things were really flourishing, werent they.
Anyhow, Mao-chan ca to visit too, with Ichinokura-san and Yuuri-kun in tow.
Reika-oneesama!
Welco, Mao-chan. Yuuri-kun. Ichinokura-san.
Mao-chan was all dressed up, and I noticed that she was wearing the sparkling gla.s.s hair ornant that Imari-sama bought her over the sumr. Going on a date with her boyfriend whiel wearing a present from another man! Mao-chan was such a sinful woman!
Reika-oneesama, you look so cute in that outfit. Doesnt she, Yuuri? Haruto-ojisama?
Mhm.
She really does, Mao. You look great in it, Reika-san.
Goodness, thank you all very much.
Mao-chan, youre still calling him Ojisama, arent you. Did she think of him that way now?
Mao-chan and Yuuri-kun were happily sharing an annin tofu and black sesa pudding between them. How enviable.
Thanks to you bringing to Taiwan, I was able to contribute a little to my cla.s.s caf this ti. Thank you very much, Ichinokura-san.
Ah, Taiwan? That brings back mories. Those xiaolongbao were really good, werent they. Its been lonely recently without you two to go eat with.
Because you have Erika-san, Haruto-ojisama.
Mao-chan turned away with a huff. Ichinokura-san smiled, not quite sure what to do.
Now, now, Mao-chan, I said, Is it not about ti that you let him off the ojisama punishnt? Ichinokura-san seems a little devastated each ti you call him that, you know?
But pouted Mao-chan.
I couldnt help but smile at how cute she was.
Ma~o~chan.
You actually love your Haruto-niisama, no?
Fine. Ill forgive him. Just this once, since you Reika-oneesama asked, Haruto-niisama!
How are you so cute, Mao-chan! Yuuri-kun rubbed her head with praise, while Ichinokura-san seed awfully moved that his beloved niece was calling him niisama again.
Thank you, Reika-san. Im really glad I ca today.
I see. Oh, Mao-chan. How about you co over to my house again? Oniisama said that he wanted to et you again too.
Waah! I want to see Takateru-niisama too! Haruto-niisama, rember how I told you? Takateru-niisama is super dreamy, you know!
Ohh, I see
Ichinokura-sans smile turned a little stiff. Ukeke. Ah! Yuuri-kun was frowning again. Oh no. Sorry, Yuuri-kun.
When the three of them were done, Mao-chan told that they were off to Ririnas cla.s.s next. Given that it was Ririna, I could already see her telling everyone about how Mao-chan was like her little sister.
The next to co and visit was Sakura-chan and Akizawa-kun.
Sakura-chan had told that she was going to spend the most ti around the 1st year attractions, to let everybody know that she existed, as well as scout out her rivals. Despite her deranged intentions, outside she was still the perfect traditional beauty, neat and proper.
Reika-san, gokigenyoh.
Welco, Sakura-chan, Akizawa-kun.
The people who were familiar with him were completely curious about this girl from another school that he brought along. Despite noticing their stares, Sakura-chan pretended that she didnt and said cutely,
I wonder what I should pick, Taku.
I expected no less from her.
What would you suggest, Reika-san? she asked.
Let see. Since this is a rare occasion, how about sothing more exotic, like our flowering teas?
Flowering teas?
Yes, it is a specially arranged tea that blooms like a flower when-
Sakurako-saan! sobody suddenly interrupted.
It was none other than the travelling musician from the West, Dite.
Sakurako-san! Who would have thought that I would et you here! Could it be that you ca to listen to my violin!? he asked, afro swaying as he closed in on her.
Since she was sitting on a chair, the only place she could escape to was Akizawa-kun.
Eh-, Sakura-chan, you know Dite? I asked.
Weve t a few tis at violin recitals, she whispered, sounding rather chagrined.
Co to think of it, Sakura-chan had been learning violin since she was little, hadnt she. Who would have thought that shed know him thanks to that. And from the way Dite was behaving
Even when the tea arrived, Dite doggedly kept trying to talk to her. Even when I told him that the musician had to go back and perform, he wouldnt listen. Mmmm I an, pretty much anyone would co to the sa conclusion as , right?
And even though Akizawa-kun was calmly drinking tea at the start, as ti went by his mood worsened. Oh? Akizawa-kun was a gentle person, so it was really rare seeing a frown coming from him, you know? And Sakura-chan seed to notice too.
Sakura, its about ti to go, dont you think?
Taku?
He drained the rest of his tea in one gulp and then brusquely left his chair with Sakura-chan in hand.
Ah! But Sakurako-san and I were still-
Kisshouin-san, thank you for the tea. Lets go, Sakurako.
Y-, Yes. Well then, see you, Reika-san.
And with that, Sakura-chan was dragged out of the store. Oh ho ho? Dont tell he was jealous?
And as Sakura-chan left, I glimpsed a wicked smirk on her face.
Kisshouin-san! Just what kind of relationship do Sakurako-san and that Akizawa-kun have!?
This ti it was that Dite pestered. I suppose as of right now, more than childhood friends, but less than a couple? But then thanks to Dite, maybe that was going to change.
Wow, you were a complete stalking horse today, werent you, Dite. Could it be that Dite was going to join my Forever Alone village?
Please no. If one of our villagers played violin from morning to night, every day
Dite returned to his stage and put his feelings into his violin.
