Volume 7 Chapter 11 (1/2)

What the heck is this? - I, Mizuno Youko, thought, my eyes and mouth wide open It took a while before I could comprehend the situation

Yoshi+no-chan was doing ic

Behind her, shi+ ”El Bimbo” on a pianica

An incredibly strange spectacle So it outside of one was shocking At any rate, an atmosphere completely different to the usual tea party had, for now, filled the entirety of the Rose Mansion's second-floor room

”Ta-dah”

In time with her voice, a stuffed toy made from towels rose from the empty box Given the current situation, it was probably supposed to be a dove, but it looked s I've known this for a while now, but despite being Rei's cousin, Yoshi+no-chan really didn't have any talent for handicrafts

But she was quite proficient at sleight of hand tricks Pulling a 500-yen coin she'd gripped in her right hand from the breast pocket of Eriko's uniform

”I'm not your audience plant”

Despite her frequent heckling, Eriko see herself

This was probably part of the ”entertainment”

Sei had asked her, ”Yoshi+no-chan, what are you doing?” and then the first-years had taken the initiative to line up so At first, I'd been flustered, not knoas going on

”This is your doing, isn't it, Rosa Gigantea”

Sachiko e

”Ta-dah”

Yoshi+no-chan whipped her hat off And there, on her head, was a flower made of feathers

”What ever do you mean?”

Sei played du I listened in on their conversation

”Ta-dah”

At some point, Yoshi+no-chan's head-flower had turned into a rope

”You spouted some nonsense to Yumi About party performances and the like”

”Ah, you found out?”

It had only taken a bit of light prodding from Sachiko for Sei to quickly confess

”I told her it was an annual custom and she believed me But it's fine This party's supposed to be for our enjoyht?”

Such an egocentric way of thinking Not even considering the trouble she was causing for others

”But the reason Yuh sleep”

”Oh, really? Sorry about that An energy drink should make up for it”

I didn't really understand what she meant by that last remark, but it looked like Sei had tricked the first-years into putting on this show

However, the usual tradition was to have a tea party where everyone sat around chatting Everyone would reood times and the bad, and not want to leave At least, that's how the two farewell parties I'd been involved with had gone

”Thank-you all very much”

Yoshi+no-chan and shi+ic shoas over I'd been deep in thought, so I hadn't caught much of it

(However)

Rei was applauding so wildly it was e to watch The coain, that was one of her good points

Following on fro fan Then, without a moment's delay, Yoshi+no-chan switched the cassette deck on Oh, she's about to start a traditional japanese dance shi+ style whose name I can't remember

But the intro was unmistakeably ”Maria-sama's Soul”

(No way She's not going to dance to this … )

The unthinkable became reality

shi+ was a complete mismatch for traditional japanese dance It looked like she hadn't been infor beforehand, for whatever reason

While the song , it fit perfectly with her Lillian's unifor fan was the sa early for her sleigh of hand tricks
