After the athletics carnival, Tomoe-senpai and I beca a small topic of discussion.
I had no idea you were so close to the forr President.
To think hed announce his victory and smile at you like that. Could it be that theres actually sothing between you two?
My friends loved talk about romance, so all of them were looking excited and expectant.
I admire and look up to Tomoe-senpai very much, but we are not in the sort of relationship you are all imagining. If strange rumours caused trouble to him, I would not be able to face him
I made sure to quickly put out the fire.
Ehhhh~ But you were cheering for him so pa.s.sionately, Reika-sama. When I saw you two like that it sent my heart pounding, you know!
too!
But gosh, the forr President was so dashing~! And he was even champion!
He really was cool! I actually found out that he won last year too! Hes the two-ti champion!
My!
It looks my heart wasnt the only one pierced by his smile. Everyone was using our interaction as an excuse to keep talking about him.Hmmmm~ What do I do. It was basically nothing, but a rumour was a rumour
When I heard the sa rumours at the Pivoine Salon, that was when I started to worry a little.After all, his actual girlfriend Kasumi-sama was here.
I had no idea you were close with that Tomoe guy, started a third year uppercla.s.sman.
Yes. He helped a great deal when I was a cla.s.s representative in middle school. I was made the vice representative of my cla.s.s again this year, so he has been helping once again.
Ah, I see. Im begging ya, at least dont tell you like him or sothing.
Goodness. Tomoe-senpai is sobody I respect very much.
Uuu, Kasumi-sama didnt seem too offended, butI couldnt imagine it was a good feeling to watch people gossip about your boyfriend and so other girl. I was rash.So of the older girls began talking about Emperor, so I used that topic change to get away. Kasumi-sama was sitting further away on a sofa, so I sidled down next to her.
Kasumi-sama.
My, Reika-sama. Gokigenyoh, she said, eting with a smile.
Ummm I am unsure how to apologise for this, but I whispered.
My! Huhu, dont tell you were worried about ? Im completely fine.
Truly?
Truly. And hes honestly surprisingly popular so this isnt even close to the first ti this has happened.
Eh-, is that so!?
Yep. So dont you worry, Reika-san. Senju was happily telling about how you cheered for him, you know?
Ahhaha
Since she really didnt seem to mind, I let out a tentative sigh of relief. I was like the howrecker villainess by birth, so I was worried I might one day break up so couple by accident.
More importantly, you really gave a shock when you appeared in that rat costu. Whatever ca over you?
Eh?
Kasumi-sama gazed at worriedly.
The girl who was supposed to partic.i.p.ate injured herself, so I beca the replacent.
I see. But a rat costu You really take your role as the cla.s.s representative seriously, dont you, Reika-sama.
Ummm Kasumi-sama was looking at heartbroken, like I was so tragic heroine. I really didnt know how to respond. Was the costu really that bad? I thought it was pretty ta compared to the gaudy Cinderella and Prince costus.Speaking of which, my friends kept trying to cheer up when I got back from the costu race. And even when people in my cla.s.s joked about Iwamuro-kun, n.o.body ever ntioned .
Was my costu so strange?
Not at all! You were very charming! However, I cant save I have really ever heard of a Pivoine partic.i.p.ating in the costu race before
She was right, co to think of it. Maybe I shouldnt have done that as a Pivoine mber.
Was it perhaps the wrong decision?
I wouldnt go that far, but
I think I could have done quite a few things better this athletics carnival. I made a note to reflect on it.
I happened to glance at my watch and realised it was ti to be picked up by my chaffeur.
I need to take my leave for today.
My, already?
Yes. I have lessons soon.
I see. Gokigenyoh.
After packing up, I was about to leave when I pa.s.sed Kaburagi and Enjou.Our eyes t.
Oh, the stupid mouse.
Masaya.
The whole salon went dead silent.
I forced a stiff smile onto my face.
Gokigenyoh, Kaburagi-sama, Enjou-sama. You must be excusing .
I was about to leave again when Kaburagi looked at seriously.
Where was your mouse nose? What were you even supposed to be? Put in a bit more effort next year.
Masaya.
Shut up, you athletics carnival lunatic! Who let you decide that I would even be competing next year!They wouldnt let have the nose, and to be honest even I have a little self-respect!
I stalked down the hallway and headed for my car.
When I returned ho from piano practice I found Imari-sama there for the first ti in a very long ti.
Imari-sama!
Hey, Reika-chan. Howve you been?
Very well. And you, Imari-sama?
Ive been great too.
Today he was wearing a suit. Wow, this was the charm of an adult!
What brings you to our ho today?
I had sothing I wanted to borrow from Takateru. Gee, youre still as cute as a doll, arnet you Reika-chan.
He patted on the head.
Imari, stop touching peoples sisters, said Oniisama after flicking off Imari-samas hand.
Gosh! Youre Oniisama is so scaaary, isnt he, Reika-chan. But youre like the little sister Ive always wanted. My family is filled with nothing but brothers. I know! Reika-chan, why dont you marry my little brother? Then youll be my little sister for real. Ah, but Id be more than happy to marry you too, you know?
Marry you, Imari-sama? Why, that would be like a dream co true.
Wouldnt it? Ill marry you any ti, Reika-chan.
The two of us laughed together, but Oniisama looked irritated for once.
Imari, co to my room.
Im sorry, Older Brother, it was just a joke.
Shut it and co. Now.
Imari-sama was literally dragged away. It was nice to see that they were as close as ever.
Speaking of which, hadnt I made up a story about being in love with Imari-sama? I had totally forgotten about it. I decided to tell them when they got back.
Apparently Ive always been in love with you, Imari-sama.
I was sure that he and Oniisama would find it a riot as well.
When Imari-sama ca back to the living room he looked gaunt. Talking business must have been exhausting. He was probably buried in work. After all, he said,
I dont think I can co here for a while, again
