Cla.s.s Rep and Iwamuro-kun asked for advice on what White Day Presents to get Miharu-chan and Nonose-san.
Since that was the case, I imdiately recomnded the honey candies that I got from Imari-sama.
They were sweet and delicious, and good for your throat on top of that.
Wow! Maybe I should go with those, said Cla.s.s Rep.
But I guess the two of us cant get the sa thing, huh, Iwamuro-kun comnted.
I would also like to suggest caral candies, in that case, I said.
I received them from Imari-sama during the sumr.
Caral?
Yes. There are many different types, all bursting with flavour.
Then maybe Ill go with those
The French marshmallows I got from Tomoe-senpai and Kasumi-sama were good too.
It had Kaburagis mark of approval. I decided to tell them about those too.
Those sound good too.
Then what should we give them alongside the sweets? Honda-san loved the mittens she got for Valentines. Actually I bought matching gloves in a different colour but I couldnt say it Ive just been using them in secret.
Cla.s.s Rep was a maiden through-and-through.
Listening to a blushing Cla.s.s Rep talk about how the hand-made chocolates from Honda-san were the sweetest Ive ever tasted was sohow even more embarra.s.sing to listen to than Shimazaki Tousons First Love.
Anyway, a cute present, huh
From my experience, perhaps a spherical music box, or a necklace, or perhaps a sachet and herb tea set I might also suggest boxed flowers since they would be easy to carry ho.
All of these were presents I had received from Imari-sama of the mighty Casanova Village.
What are boxed flowers? asked Cla.s.s Rep.
When you take off the lid of the box, inside are flowers all around.
Oh okay.
That does seem cute admired Iwamuro-kun.
He did love cute things after all.
To be honest he seed better suited to receiving flowers than giving them.
Anyway, there was no reason to restrict the present to items.
Perhaps another option would be to invite them to an amus.e.m.e.nt park during the sumr break, and hand them a free pa.s.s
Thats such a bold idea, Master!
At Suiran, most people hand out store-made chocolates. If the four of you are close enough to be receiving hand-made chocolates, then I think they would happily accept the invitation.
Kisshouin-san! Please grant strength!
Master!
The two of them chanted Bless us. Bless us. as they bowed to .
I couldnt refuse these cute disciples of mine, so I gave them the little luck in romance I had and sent them off.
I hope things went well.
Haah So dizzy.
Dizzy and nauseous and cold too
Even breathing was hard.
It was a struggle to keep my eyes open
Whats the matter, Reika-sama? Good heavens, youre so pale!
Are you okay, Reika-sama?
It was getting so bad that I couldnt respond.
I was feeling really sick
Lets go to the infirmary, Reika-sama.
Thats a good idea. Can you stand?
Her hands are ice cold. Are you okay, Reika-sama?
I stood from my seat but lost consciousness for a second.
Aah~
This wouldnt do.
My ears were ringing and it was hard to listen to them.
In the end they supported on each side and I was brought half-unconscious to the nurses office.
Sensei, Reika-sama is feeling ill.
My! Could it be anaemia? Have a lie down on the be.d
With the help of the girls, I did just that.
I closed my eyes, but sohow the world kept spinning.
Leave the rest to , girls. You should get back before the next cla.s.s starts.
Yes.
Get well soon, Reika-sama.
I managed to squeeze out a thank you before they left.
According to the nurse I was feeling giddy because of lack of sleep.
I actually spent the last three days reading this series of full-length novels, so I wasnt getting more than 5 hours each night.
Huh. Co to think of it I didnt sleep at all last night since the story had reached its climax
To get so oxygen into my head I went without the pillow, and put it under my ankles instead.
Have a little rest like this. If youre not feeling any better later, then go ho.
I did as she said and closed my eyes, falling asleep in no ti.
I got up feeling totally fine.
Sleep is pretty important, huh!
The nurse was sitting at her desk and writing sothing, so I called out to her as I got out of bed.
Sensei, I seem to be feeling better now.
Youre feeling all right?
Yes. I feel good as new.
I was still a bit sleepy, but was like I had never felt ill to begin with.
Youre looking better as well. Dont stay up too late now.
I will not. Thank you for looking after .
And sorry for being so much trouble.
Im reflecting.
The period is about to end, so you woke up just in ti for the next cla.s.s. Do you want to stay here until the bell?
No, but thank you. I would like to visit my locker.
I said goodbye and left.
Since cla.s.ses were still in session, the hallway was devoid of people.
The only sign of anyone else were the voices that I occasionally heard from inside the shut cla.s.srooms.
Besides that, all I could hear were my footsteps.
At any rate, I headed for my own locker.
I was going to need my books for the next cla.s.s.
When I arrived on the second floor, I heard sothing being dropped, and then sobody speeding away.
Hm?
Strange. Werent cla.s.ses still going on?
I wondered if so cla.s.s had gotten an early mark when I ca across a felt-tipped marker on the ground.
I suppose this was what I heard then.
I picked it up and looked for whoever dropped it but there was n.o.body in sight.
Maybe I could just drop it off with the Student Council then.
I continued onwards to my locker only to receive quite a shock.
Stop coming to school!
What the heck
The natag said Takamichi Wakaba.
This was Wakaba-chans locker.
So the person I heard earlier was the culprit and they were running away from !
Of course that was when the bell rang.
So of the cla.s.srooms emptied out right on the dot.
And they noticed both and the locker.
Eh
Eh?
Wai-, aahh!
Dont tell they thought I was the culprit!?
No, this is not what it looks like! I only just got here too, I babbled, but people gathered around and began gossiping anyway.
Whats going on?
Takamichi-sans locker?
Whats happening? ca another voice. Ehh~? What the heck!?
Of all people, it had to be Tsuruhana-sans cla.s.s that finished first
The girl gave a malicious smirk when she saw the locker and the pen in my hand.
What do we have here? After all the self-righteous talk, the great Reika-sama is secretly doing the sa dirty things as everybody else, she exulted.
It was not !
I didnt see anybody else around. What were you even doing here out of cla.s.s?
I was just coming back from the infirmary.
Youre even holding a felt-tip marker and youre still not owning up?
I had simply found it on the ground here.
How very convenient.
It is the truth!
We all know that you secretly hate her too. Thats why youre hara.s.sing her in secret, right?
No!
But of course, it was undeniable that I was the most suspicious person here.
Everyone else had an alibi, being in cla.s.s and all.
And while I was stuck here as a suspect, more and more people ca to gather around.
What was I going to do!?
The teachers were trying to sort out the ss but n.o.body was listening.
It was too interesting.
Reika-sama!
Serika-chan and the others had heard and co as well.
Whats your problem, you lot! As if Reika-sama would ever do sothing like this!
But the proof is right here.
What proof!? Didnt you lot do this to fra her!?
Hey! Dont bla the uninvolved!
Youre the ones accusing Reika-sama!
Then, with the worst timing possible, Kaburagi ca along.
Whats going on?
He had one look at Wakaba-chans locker before his eyes turned angry.
This again!?
The culprit is Reika-sama over there, Tsuruhana-san declared.
Kisshouin?
Kaburagi frowned and looked over at .
Oh no!
Oh no, oh no!
It was not!
But you were the only one here, Reika-sama. And you were even holding the pen.
No, but Kisshouin
Kaburagi seed undecided.
She might pretend to be a good person but in secret she hates Takamichi-san more than anyone, right? I bet all the past bullying has been her work too.
But Kisshouin is
We just didnt know about it. shes been looking into Takamichi-sans day-to-day life and hara.s.sing her in a way that n.o.body would find out. I bet that afterwards she had girls from Takamichi-sans cla.s.s report to her, where shed gleefully listen to Takamichi-sans reactions.
Thats you, d.a.m.nit! Only you would co up with that!
Or so I was about to say when I was attacked again from an unexpected angle.
Co to think of it, at cram school Kisshouin-san asked how Takamichi-san was doing in cla.s.s muttered so boy.
Who was that!?
I turned around and it was Tagaki-kun from cram school!
Ehhh!?
Tagaki-kun, youre picking now to say that!?
I an I asked but I didnt an anything bad about it!
Maybe he was just muttering to himself, but that was the worst timing ever!
My position grew ever more precipitous.
Kisshouin, dont tell you really
Kaburagi seed dumbfounded.
No way!
Dont tell he really thought I was the culprit!?
That I was bullying Wakaba-chan and the enemy!?
Gyaaaah!
It was here!
The ruin of my family had finally co!
Our company was going to be taken over, and then wed be out on the streets!
Aaah! I had to fix this sohow
But how!?
It wasnt Reika-sama! sobody suddenly scread.
Eh?
Reika-sama would never do sothing like that! they said.
The crowd split apart to reveal Mochida-san, walking forwards with trembling legs.
She was the girl who was bullied by Tsuruhana-san back in middle school.
After it was over, we still said h.e.l.lo to each other sotis, but that was about it.
She was a shy girl as always, so it was to my surprise that she even spoke up.
Whats your problem? glared Tsuruhana-san.
Mochida-san flinched but shakily repeated herself.
Reika-sama would never do sothing like that! she yelled. Reika-sama would never bully soone else! She helped Reika-sama was the one who helped when I was alone!
Her eyes were teary and her face was red.
Tsuruhana-san and her friends used to bully . Every day was so hard that even coming to school was a struggle!
The girls in question looked a bit awkward under everyones gazes.
n.o.body ca to help ! I was on the verge of quitting school! But Reika-sama offered a hand to ! She said h.e.l.lo to ! Every day, she encouraged ! She saved !
Openly crying now, Mochida-san continued to scream It wasnt Reika-sama! It wasnt Reika-sama!
M-Mochida-san? I asked hesitantly.
Suddenly it seed like sothing inside her snapped, because she started moaning Uuuuu~! as her whole body convulsed and her eyes rolled back into her head!
Uwaaahhh!
It was like Mochida-san had been possessed!
Im so sorry for saying this after you did your best to protect but Im sorry, its scaryyy!
Well said, Mochida-san!
Ive rethought my opinion of you, Mochida-san!
Serika-chan and Kikuno-chan praised her bravery as they supported her on either side.
She was breathing heavily now, and her eyes were back to normal.
Thank goodness
She ca back to herself
Thank you so much, Mochida-san.
She was so terrified that she even went ntal for a mont.
It must have been so tough for a shy girl like her.
I dont think it was her either, declared Wakaba-chan.
I didnt even know when she arrived, but she had Enjou with her, and went to stand next to Kaburagi.
Takamichi
Kisshouin-san isnt the type to do these things. Absolutely not! Im certain of it. Her only involvent was picking up that marker.
W-Wakaba-chan!
You believe !?
Even with all this proof against ?
Haah? And you can just decide that? Dont tell youre trying to suck up to her? Or was it like Youko-sama said, and all a farce that you set up yourself?
Oi, Tsuruhana!
Its my objective opinion. First of all, Kisshouin-san isnt the type to do underhanded things like this. Next, if Kisshouin-san did have a problem with , shes powerful enough that just muttering Shes an eyesore would be enough to make my life h.e.l.l.
Y-, Yeah. Am I supposed to feel happy or sad about this
It is true that Kisshouin is the type that crushes you head-on.
Yeah. And that woman goes for the throat from the start.
She only needs to strike once. A killers instinct
What the-, who was saying strange things this ti!?
You again, Soccer Club President!?
Stop looking away! At least have the guts to look in the eye!
And hey! Wasnt my image just getting worse and worse, here?
And you, please tell you actually just ant killer instinct.
The point is that Im certain that it wasnt Kisshouin-san, declared Wakaba-chan.
Since the victim herself said so, that brought the incident to a close.
Plus, after the teachers heard about what happened, they confird that I had been in the infirmary until just before the bell.
Not only that, but since I was part of the Pivoine the teachers would have gone easy on anyway.
It didnt take long for them to judge as innocent.
Not that people still didnt suspect
You were so unlucky, Reika-sama!
Seriously. As if Reika-sama would ever do sothing like that!
Thank you for cheering up, guys.
Still. My opinion of Takamichi-san might have changed, just a little.
Sa
Because she covered , my groups att.i.tude towards Wakaba-chan was a little different now.
Speaking of which, I wanted to have a talk with her, and ask her why she believed while I was at it.
I sent her a ssage asking her to et after school today.
I couldnt find an equivalent joke for the below so I didnt even try.
Okay, thats a lie, I tried for 2 days and ca up blank.
She only needs to strike once. A killers instinct
And you, please tell you actually just ant killer instinct.
The original, much funnier line, was,
She has the presence of a yokozuna which is an innocent enough phrase that ans the bearing of a king or the aura of a champion.
Of course, a yokozuna is actually the champion sumo, which is why Reika exclaims,
And the person who called a yokozuna, what exactly did you an by choosing that phrase? Depending on your answer I might track you down afterwards!
