Reika-Sama – 102 (1/2)

Kurikinton is candied chestnuts mixed in mashed sweet potatoes and candied chestnut syrup and is considered a traditional New Year food

I was eating kurinkinton on New Years when I ca realisation

Could it be that Kaburagi had been rejected by Yurie-sama!?

What if those test scores were the result of being in such shock that he couldn’t concentrate And then because of that he went on a journey to deal with the heartbreak

Whoa, I’m so sharp this year…

But that wasn’t what happened in Kia, and he should have been rejected after he was a little closer with Wakaba-chan

Ha a little bit To begin with, thehere eating

And it felt like the personalities of the main characters were a little different too The Ea would absolutely never have had such a deviant-level of passion towards cavalry battles, nor was he some weirdo athletics carnival maniac ould criticise others over their lack of animal noses for the costuentle person atched over E bastard To begin with, just failing to have honey-brown hair was a departure froa

Also… it kind of felt like Wakaba-chan had become… little bit of a dope…

Why was it, I wondered Why had all the main characters turn into such unfortunate alternates of their a selves

And on the other hand, people who hadn’t appeared at all in the a like Oniisama and Imari-sama and Tomoe-senpai were so damned cool! If they had been in Kimidol they would have been so popular too! Especially Toa Emperor had been

With all these other irregularities, would things progress differently than theas my own life was nice and quiet I didn’t particularly care though

Anyhow, I saved away all of the New Years ot fro to be enshrined next to my bed

Kaburagi wasn’t there at the Ter ceremony Was he still on his journey?

Even theabout his absence by now It was astounding how one student truanting could have such an effect

When I went to the salon, Enjou was there for the first ti about Kaburagi

“Masaya caught a cold during the New Year, so he’s been resting He should be back at school in a few days”

A cold? Had he finally returned fro with heartbreak? No, no, it’s not like I knew for sure that he had been rejected He could have been purely soul searching Not that I personally heldon a journey to do so…

When Enjou spotted me, he excused himself and came over

“Happy New Year, Kisshouin-san”

“Happy New Year, Enjou-sama”

Enjou led me to somewhere there were less people and then handed me some kind of sack

“Here, this is for you Technically a souvenir from when I went here and there to fetch Masaya Actually your hush money”

Eh… This is kind of scary

“…I, thank you for the consideration”

And so with a sift

So Enjou actually went out to get Kaburagi And by ‘here and there’, thatthe busy New Year, he was still so serious about his friendshi+ps Whatever else, he was actually pretty good at looking after others

“You i-sama was doith a cold?”

“Yeah He’s at hoht now, actually He went souess it’s true what they say about sickness beginning with the heart He was really weakened”

“I see…”

Somewhere awfully cold?

Sickness beginning with the heart?

Then he really did go on a heartbreak journey!?

If he was somewhere cold, then I suppose it must have been northern Europe or Russia maybe Oh, but wouldn’t it be pretty bad to have Emperor Napoleon travel to Russia?

But i the Siberian Tundra was kind of funny in a way I pictured hi a mammoth Uppftpfftt
