Hi guys! Looking for experienced cleaners or type-setters to help with the .
So, to everybody I pinged on Discord Friday night, you may have noticed that this was delayed by two days. I have a very good reason for that, so good that it absolves of all wrong, but Im afraid Im not allowed to tell you. Ever. Instead have a double release I guess.
Oh, and if anybody hasnt read it yet, Id like to recomnd which is a more wilful personality is dumped into a trash girls body in (sotis faux) Ancient China story.
Id prefer not to spoil things since the author (shockingly) understands that dumping information on people will not necessarily make them care, but its a fun and surprisingly refreshing read.
Right after the School Festival finished, two rumours were the talk of Suiran; The Emperor ate Takamichi Wakabas hand-made biscuits two days in a row and Enjou-sama has a mystery woman.
When the School Festival was over, all anybody could talk about was how the Emperor ate Takamichi Wakabas hand-made biscuits two days in a row, and how Enjous mysterious girlfriend had appeared.
Thanks to that, things were noisier for too.
What do you think about all this, Reika-sama? How could Kaburagi-sama of all people eat ho-made sweets? And he even went there two days in a row, and even bought extra to bring ho with him!
Bring ho? As I recall, those biscuits just extras for the tea. They were not for sale, unless I am mistaken
Well, its Kaburagi-sama, so who would refuse But its not even that he really liked the biscuits. They were made by a number of people, but he only wanted the ones made by Takamichi-san.
Youre being way too blunt, Kaburagi
Apparently on the second day all of the girls involved with baking the biscuits tried to give him theirs. The only ones he touched were Takamichi-sans though.
Goodness The biscuits Takamichi-san baked must have truly matched his palate.
Why are you being so carefree, Reika-sama. Co on, you need to get your act together! sulked Kikuno.
There wasnt much I could do though
This morning Kaburagi-sama greeted Takamichi-san in the hallway again mumbled Aya-chan.
I heard from girls in her cla.s.s that whenever he cos to greet Enjou-sama he always greets her as well.
It couldnt be that Kaburagi-sama truly
Hey-! Dont say sothing so extre! Serika-chan said before covering her ears.
Reika-sama? Have you heard anything from Kaburagi-sama?
What do you an by anything?
Like we were saying, sothing about Takamichi-san. Has it ever co up in the conversations in the Pivoine?
Not so far as I can rember.
The girls all sighed. Sorry for being useless, everyone.
Should Kaburagi-sama not be free to love whover he wants, though?
Reika-sama! How could you say that! I dont like it! How could sobody just monopolise Kaburagi-sama like that! All of the girls in Suiran agree with !
You must be exaggerating
No, its true! declared Kikuno-chan without a shred of hesitation.
Everybody nodded along like it was natural.
I guess since Kaburagi was like an idol, it wasnt strange that his fans acted the way idol fans did.
Even if Kaburagi-sama did find a girlfriend, she would have to be sobody we could all accept. If it was Yurie-sama then all of us would have felt that it was inevitable, but I dont think anybody would accept Takamichi-san.
Right? Her background is unsuitable for him, and arent her looks just normal? Shes basically only good at studying, right?
Oh no. What if Takamichi-san only ca to Suiran to look for a rich man? Thats horrible!
Whoa, whoa, please dont just randomly decide that Wakaba-chans a gold digger.
Does Takamichi-san seem so ill-natured?
Goodness, are you taking Takamichi Wakabas side over ours, Reika-sama?
That was not my intention
Oh boy. I could even make things worse if I wasnt careful. Worse for both Wakaba-chan and .
By the way, who was that woman with Enjou-sama Aya-chan changed the subject, with an expression that I couldnt quite place.
Everybody exchanged glances.
They seed rather close
She linked arms with Enjou-sama.
And she even called Enjou-sama Shuu
Enjou-sama called her Yuiko too.
It cant be
Everyone seed to be bitterly thinking the sa thing. Was that his girlfriend?
What do you think, Reika-sama?
I have no idea either
Katsuragi Boy called her Enjou-sans lover didnt he. Not that it ant that it was true
What I did know was why Bird Brain had picked so many fights with now. The adulation in his eyes when he looked at her was sothing else. Not that I couldnt understand it.
We only t for a short while, but Yuuko-san had a special atmosphere. It was transient and epheral like the moon rippling on the water.
I think my friends realised it too. They had none of the energy, unlike when it ca to Wakaba-chan.
Yeah. That girl was scary. I dont think I could win.
By the way, Reika-sama, who on earth were those boys taking photographs of you?
I think one of them had a lisp. When he said Reika-san, co over here~ it sounded like he was saying Reika-tan, co over here~
Please dont bring that up
Thanks to the stupid Kaburagis thoughtlessness, girls were getting more and more jealous of Wakaba-chan. Not a few tis I saw them muttered ugly or dont get ahead of yourself as they pa.s.sed her. I guess it was a relief that Wakaba-chan didnt seem fazed though.
One morning I ca to school earlier than usual, and ca across Wakaba-chan in the shoe hallway. I thought that I should at least greet her. When I walked over though, I noticed that she seed troubled.
Gokigenyoh, Takamichi-san. Is sothing the matter?
Eh-
When she turned to face , in her hands were a pair of in-door shoes stained with ink.
Aaah Yeah, uh, for so reason these turned pitch black
Obviously sobody did this. So an.
How about borrowing so slippers for now? I do not see you wearing those again. Once the school store opens you can buy yourself another pair.
Hmmm I guess even washing these wouldnt work, huh.
No, I suspect it would not. That does not look like watercolour ink. Perhaps it is brush ink
Who knows. But I really need it to wash off. Its really going to hurt my wallet otherwise
Oh right. The rest of us would have bought a new pair without another thought, but I guess it would be quite a burden on a commoners budget. The stuff that Suiran used was pretty expensive after all.
I dont mind insults and stuff but this kind of bullying is really a problem. Hmmm Would bleach really not work though? Id be okay with it for now if I could just get it to a light grey.
Suddenly, I rembered. I actually had bought a new pair without a thought before.
Umm, I actually have a pair that are a little dirty, if you are fine with that.
Ehh!?
For now we had Wakaba-chan put on so slippers, and then we headed to the locker room. I opened my own locker, and brought out a bag from the very back of it. Inside were a pair of indoor shoes.
Here.
Eh!? These dont look dirty at all.
They are dirty at the bottom.
She turned them over but still couldnt seem to find anything.
They look clean, though?
Actually, I stepped in pigeon droppings with these.
Pigeon droppings?
Indeed, I nodded gravely.
It was a nice early afternoon. I had been on a stroll with my friends after lunch, happily thinking about how full I was, and what great weather it was.
That was when I stepped right into the bird p.o.o.p. Fresh bird p.o.o.p, still warm even, which was why I slipped a little.
Aahh! Reika-sama stepped in p.o.o.p!
Reika-sama! Lets wash it off for now!
I was led by the girls to the taps, still in shock and feeling a little dazed. We used a brush sowhere to clean it off, and it wasnt hard since the soles were rubber. When we were done we even used disinfectant.
It was still gross to though, and I didnt want others to think I was wearing bird p.o.o.p shoes, so I ended up just buying a new pair.
I have washed and disinfected it, but
Is it really okay for to take this from you? It looks brand new, you know?
True. But it has still been in pigeon droppings. Even you mind, surely?
No, not at all, she declared.
She hadnt hesitated at all.
These look brand new. Actually Im really thankful for them. Ah, but would the size fit? Ive got pretty big feet. Im a size 23.5.
I am a size 24.
Eh? Then isnt that just perfect? Ehehe, she laughed.
Thank goodness. If I managed to help Wakaba-chan then that there was a aning in stepping in that bird p.o.o.p!
Did they do this to your shoes yesterday?
Or had they co to school earlier? Maybe they were still watching
Hard to say. Ah! It looks like it fits perfectly! Thank you very much!
No, they had pigeon dropping on them so pay it no mind Still, thank goodness I happened to co early today.
I was actually here to prepare for one of my weaker subjects in the library.
Yeah. Thanks to that I ca away with shoes that were even cleaner than my own ones. What luck!
G.o.d, she was such an optimist.
You seem quite early yourself, Takamichi-san. Was there so reason to it today?
Oh, I always co early just to make sure Im not late. Since I catch the train here there are accidents and delays sotis, you know~ Cant let that perfect attendance award go! she clenched a fist.
Aah~ So she was worried about the train. Thinking back, that incident with the bike was because of a cancelled train too, wasnt it. And wow, was she eager for perfect attendance. Going after the money bonus, huh.
But if that is the only issue, then could you not simply apply for proof of lateness?
Well yeah, but that feels like running away to . And Id miss out on cla.s.s too.
Wow! Youre amazing, Wakaba-chan! As expected of one of our grades top 3 talents.
Anyway, since people were going to co soon, I said goodbye to Wakaba-chan and headed for my own room.
