Reika-Sama – 101 (1/2)
A little while after the school festival, Sakura-chan contacted me
“I heard that Maihama Ema came to Suiran”
“Mht?”
“We go to the same school We are not close Take care around Maihairls that she doesn’t like There are plenty of her victims in Yurinomiya”
“Oh okay Wait, don’t tell me that she’s bullied you too?”
“Hah? Who?”
Thouught soo~ Even I couldn’t pick a fight with Sakura-chan and win…
“I saw Maihara E if she was causing you proble about how close she is with your Emperor”
“Huuh~”
She did get invited to the tea party, and Yurie-sama seemed to know her well too, so uy himself seemed to have no desire to deal with her
Ah, well As long as it didn’t harm me
So anyhow, the school festival ended on a nice note I chatted with friends as usual Soo to the Handicrafts Club, and sometimes I’d drink tea in the salon It was a peaceful autumn
After a whole an I studied desperately hard with Marin-sensei and on our It was the hardest I had ever studied since entering high school here Maybe I could even reach the top 30!
A few days later the results were announced, and the school was hit with a bombshell
1 Takamichi Wakaba
2 Enjou Shuusuke
3 Mizusaki Arima
Kaburagi’s name wasn’t there
Why, Eo!? Did you forget to write your na!? Did you shi+ft all your multiple choice answers down a box!?
Far from just the first years, even the upperclass about what happened to the perfect His Majesty the Emperor
And the Emperor himself hadn’t come to school
I joined in on the discussion too, while giving the leader-board another once over My name wasn’t there
When I got my report card back it said I was rank 31
…I was really too unlucky
Emperor didn’t come to school in the next few days either
At first people whispered about hi was ever uy wouldn’t say anything either Thanks to that it seemed like everybody had their own explanation
He never appeared at the salon either I could see ourworried
Really though, what on earth was up with hied schools or so school because he didn’t want to do remedials!?
H of which, as the last time I even saw those two? Before the exams the salon was basically closed, and before that was…
…Well whatever
More irace and absence was directly a lot of criticism towards Wakaba-chan
‘Not only did she steal first place while the Emperor was sick, she even went and took Enjou-sama’s place!’
But hoas that even her fault?
And I guess it was a pretty bad idea of hers to be happily shouting “First place!” while half the girls were in shock about Ean talking about how she did so or other to take 1st place from them Complete nonsense
Worse yet, the new president of the Pivoine was a Pivoine supre face to a co to them
Wakaba-chan, your position went to hell in an instant! Are you going to be okay!?
I was heading to the Handicrafts Club byhis bag and heading to a car
Ugh…
“Gokigen’yoh, Enjou-sama”
I wanted nothingso I at least gave hi
“Hey, Kisshouin-san”
He was s, but his face looked a little tired
“You seeht?”
“H on, you know?”
I’ll bet you do Right now the school is talking about nothing except your ‘things going on’
“Are you curious too, Kisshouin-san? About what’s happening with Masaya”
“Eh?”
Honestly speaking I was a little Who wouldn’t be, with all this fuss? But curiosity killed the cat
“No I simply worry that he is in ill-health”
“Ill health, huh…”
“Uht he have truly fallen ill?”
“He’s… not well, in a sense I’m not really sure myself”
“Eh!?”
Not sure? Aren’t you supposed to be his best friend!?
“I haven’t really seen him, you see”
“…Were you unable to visit him while he was ill?”
“Kisshouin-san, why don’t you coether”
hell to the no…
“Just kidding He’s not even at hoht now he’s on a journey”
“A… journey, you say?”
