OreShura: Volume 7 Chapter 14

Extra: Mana’s Bright Red Bicycle

Being Natsukawa Mana is quite hard

Well, I think this is so most people wouldn’t understand

My fae company known as the Natsukawa Group

As to how big its size is, if you randomly enter a convenience store or restaurant, it is h that’s the case, I’hter of the Natsukawas—!” thing In fact, I don’t know if the staff are considered members of the Natsukawa Group This is a capitalist society after all

I study at the middle school division of the Nenaka Girls’ Institution It is what they call a rich girls’ school

This school has an escalator system[1]

Or is it known as the conveyor belt system?

It’s like heavily packaging the fa it to society afterwards

To be honest, it’s boring

I have no conversation partners in school 70 of classmates who barely touch the upper echelon of society fawn over me just because of the name “Natsukawa”, and the other 30 are just afraid of approaching me

Taking Akishi+no Himeka as an example—there is nobody ould approach me by their own accord like Hime would

Although I said that, for ether with peasants now is just, you know

It’s hard to talk on the sa standards are different A distance will form from the perceived difference in worlds, either that or the presence of prejudice or envy

Regarding this, Hiher social status, so she is easier to talk with

It’s healing

I love it

……well, it’s not like I rely on it that much!

“Phew……”

Ten o’ clock at night

I faced the desk in hed

The long summer vacation comes to an end, tonments are done (aler “problem” in front of me

Career survey (final)

As soon as I hand this in, my path is mostly set

If I decide to advance directly in school, it’s pretty h school division of Nenaka Girls’ Institution

If I want to enter a high school outside of my institute’s department, I need to state its name here too

I wrote “Prefectural Hanenoyah School” here

Because this is where Hi

If ht just faint hite foa out of her ize, “You place your precious daughter in our hands, we are really sorry it turned out this way!”

If it’s soht just be fine, but there should be no students with a prefectural school as their choice It’s unavoidable to surprise others, o “what happened!?”

However, it’s not like

Moether at thefun in the area around Florence or Rome She only phones me occasionally

Dad has had no interest in me from the start

The only person he’s interested in is Suzu—my sister of the same father, Masuzu

So, whichever school I want to attend is o wherever I want

But still

“Is this fine? Me?”

Sometimes I ask myself this

Isn’t career survey so more important than this?

Nevertheless, my aim is to enter the same school as Hime

However, this feels like “I’ve no friends here, so I have to go to a prefectural school”

If I valueI can’t allow to happen……

That’s why, I have yet to talk about this with Hime

What if Hime stares at me with her innocent eyes and says, “Does Mana really not have other friends?”

I don’t want that—it would be like I lost Maybe I won’t recover from that

I don’t feel comfortable about this situation

It would be better if I have a goal or a drea I want

Although I know this is a luxurious worry

It still doesn’t change the fact that I a

♦

While I was still unhappy, the second semester came’

Even I, while living a boring life constantly surrounded by rich girls, have a small ambition

That is—learning how to ride a bike!

Although I usually go to school by car, but ever since I ca to ride a bike to school Because, isn’t it cool to run against the “Shoosh, shoosh” wind in the ? Besides, it’s not even rare to arrive by limousine in my school—machines need to be controlled by our own hands after all!

Although it’s great to have bought a custoht red bike from the manufacturer, no matter how many times I tried, I couldn’t achieve balance and repeatedly fell off the bike

I never thought this would be so I couldn’t ride if I didn’t practice……

No license required, and even brats could easily ride it I thought it was so anybody could easily ride, but it’s actually a form of transportation that only chosen people can control

And, well, that’s the case

After school on a random day

I took my beloved bike Celine-chan to a nearby parkland

The peri here a o

The north side of the park is the entrance, bustling with people, but since the southern part is mostly forest, there aren’t many people there It’s an excellent place that not many people know about

After all, I’m so cute, no matter where I am, I will in—stantly attract all the attention

Even now, just by walking, people are already staring athis eyes th—isold man is seduced bybeautiful is a sin!

I ignored the stares and reached the usual spot

My form has been quite well recently I can ride from this tree to that tree and not fall for about ten ht?

My resolution today is to ride froo?

I sat on the saddle enthusiastically, and stepped on the pedal—

“Excuse me, do you have a second to spare?”

A voice called out todown

I turned and saw so there

I couldn’t identify the sex at first glance

The person had white skin, sliender neutral voice It’s hard to identify the sex The person’s age should be about mine, or maybe a year older than me

“What? Why are you staring at my chest?”

“No, no-nothing!”

No e on the chest area If it isn’t a girl with an extreuy

If that’s the case, there’s only one way to deal with him

“I’m sorry, I’m busy at the moment, so I can’t play with you”

I s hi hopes

This is the secret to turning down someone’s approach

He looked as if he’s troubled—

“No, erm, I won’t take too much of your time, it will be done instantly”

Ah He’s so persistent despite being hot This must be because I’m too cute

“It’s hard to say it, but, your backpack—”

“Ah this? It’s a limited edition Gucci, it’s not sold in japan”

“Mm, it’s that Gucci”

He pointed at my butt on the saddle and said

“Your skirt is stuck between your backpack and your back, it’s already half exposed”

“………yes?”

I instantly reached my hand to the back and touched my butt

The piece of fabric that should be there wasn’t in its designated place

It felt like I was directly touching my underwear

“Ngyaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

“Ah, please wait?”

I stepped on the pedals with all th

I just wanted to leave this place as fast as possible on my bike

But at thatcranky

I didn’t even ride for three seconds before I wobbled and lost balance

—pittan[2]!

“Goddammit…”

Although it makesis worse than that

Wh-why are you staring like that?

“Erm, it’s not just half now, it’s fully exposed”

“Enough of that, help me you jerk!”

♦

I’uy

“Is it my fault?”

“Of—course, causing me to fall is a heavy offence”

I parked Celine-chan besidejuice

Of course it was the hot guy’s treat

“To be able to have a drink with me is a platinum ticket, you should thank me”

“What unbelievable confidence, as expected of a foreigner”

He’s actually ad on the topic

“Anyway, I am sorry, I’m Asoi Kaoru

“Hirl’s name”

Kaoru didn’t look angry and replied with a smile

“I get that a lot”

I don’t like his composure

There’s a super beautiful girl right beside you, at least show some nervousness

“What’s your name?”

“I’m Mana Kleinsmith”

I used my mother’s family name

After showing such an e side, I can’t use the name Natsukawa

“Mana, ere you doing here just now?”

“Wait a ht away?”

“Because ‘Kleinsmith-san’ is hard to pronounce?”

“……”

This guy is cheeky as expected

“Give me a moment, I’ll practice how to control my beloved car”

“Ah, so you can’t ride a bike”

“I, I can ride a bike! I can go five round!”

“Isn’t that the sa able to ride a bike?”

After saying it with a carefree attitude, Kaoru finished his juice

“If that’s the case, why don’t you try using training wheels?”

“Training wheels[3]?”

What’s that? Such a cute name

“It’s a tool that will prevent the bike fro down, you can’t even fall if you try to”

“Whe—where can I get so like that?”

So there is such a Godly item, it fits me perfectly!

“It is sold in bicycle shops; I can take you to one if you want”

“Take me take me! Please!”

I let Kaoru lead the way and brought Celine-chan to the bicycle shop near the park

The shop owner said “This ison the practice wheels on both sides

I tried riding it i!

“Ahahahahaha! What a sta—bili—ty!”

I don’t even need to worry about falling!

Although the downside is the “Gashagasha” noise it makes, the balance it provides trumps the flaw; it’s hard to fall this way

“Look here look here Kaoru! Every—one is looking at me!”

“That’s great”

Kaoru nodded while watching me ride a few laps in front of the shop

“This should be a good enough apology for ht?”

“Ahahaha, looks like I have no choice but to forgive you!”

The next

After installing the practice wheels, I fulfilledfor me were the unseen before shocked expressions of hs from other people

♦

After school, I took a Celine-chan without training wheels to the park

“I, I I I, I will kill you! I’ll definitely kill you!”

“Well well, calm down”

I started ranting at Kaoru, as sitting on the same bench as yesterday

“How can I calhed at by people this way! My skirt was flipped! I got laughed at for using training wheels! Ever since yesterday, I went through a hundred times the humiliation that I’ve ever felt before!”

“I’m not the one who flipped your skirt……”

Kaoru shrugged—

“I don’t think training wheels are weird”

“Even if you don’t think that way, everyone else thinks they are!”

“But, Mana, you don’t think they’re weird, right? Weren’t you really happy yesterday?”

“Tha—that’s……because, I as work in japan”

Actually, I still don’t understand why I was laughed at for using training wheels

“Co ridiculed is much better”

“NO[5], I would rather get injured than be laughed at!”

I spoke without hesitation

Coh class female brats, a few scrapes on the knee aren’t much

Kaoru stood up, lowered his head and apologized to me

“It’s my fault, I underestimated Mana’s pride”

“I-it’s good if you understand”

What’s with that, suddenly becoentle

“I’ll take responsible for that by helping you learn how to ride a bike”

“Really?”

That htly happy

To be honest, I have no idea what to do on my own

“Because there’s no theory on how to ride a bike, it should be faster to learn if you experience how it feels once”

“I see, but how should we accomplish that?”

“How aboutbehind?”

Kaoru smiled

What a refreshi+ng sirl, she would be easily captivated But this move won’t work on me

“But, Celine-chan doesn’t have a backseat

“No problem, I rode my bike here today”

I looked at the tree, and saw an old city bike parked under the shade He made quite the preparation

“Haha-n So that’s how it is”

“Eh?”

“Your plot is to ht? You’re a boy after all”

For some reason, Kaoru tilted his head and replied

“Am I really a boy? Is this the real me?”

“Huh? You irl?”

Coirl’s too”

“No no, that’s not what I meant”

Kaoru smiled bitterly

“Anyway, just get on, you don’t have to hug me”

Kaoru sat on the saddle while I sat horizontally on the backseat

The city bike slowly started

“What are you doing? Go faster”

“It is slightly dangerous though?”

“Just fly ahead! I can’t grasp the feel when it’s this slow”

“Then, excuse et serious

“Kyaa—♪this is faster than Celine-chan—♪”

The bike went faster and faster; wind brushed against my cheeks as the scenery flew past me

“Fast, fast this is fast! …but isn’t this a little bit too fast?

The backseat started clattering and shaking; my butt hurts

I held et blown up by the wind

“Wai—too fast too fast! This is too fast Kaoru!”

“Eh? What? I can’t hear you”

“I—sa—id—too—fast, kyaaaaaaaa!”

I couldn’t hold on any longer and hugged Kaoru’s waist tightly

This guy is really sliht this while hugging him with both of my arms to not fall off the bike

Of course, I didn’t have any re room to hold down my skirt

“NOOOOOOOOOOOO IT’S FULLY EXPOSED AGAINNNNNNNNNN!”

We rode like this throughout the entire cycling road

During the ride, I was pointed and laughed at by a group of elementary school students

The salaryrass stared at me

The group of housewives holding shopping bags frowned at me

That old ain?

……damn

I can’t get married anymore

♦

“Was that on purpose? You did that on purpose right? You wanted to eht?”

“That wasn’t my intention”

Kaoru sat on the bench and replied after taking a deep breath

“It’s Mana who told ht?”

“There should be a limit to that too! Even if I said to fly ahead, it should be at a speed that won’t flip my skirt up You should at least care a bit more about me, how inconsiderate!”

“Girls are rather troublesome”

Mhly of himself just because he’s hot?

“So, how do you feel? Can you grasp the feel?”

“I don’t knoas hugging you with my dear life”

The moment I said that, I instantly felt embarrassed

I was hugging Kaoru with all th…

“Then, how about you try it yourself?”

Kaoru was oblivious to s and replied with a smile

“Your hard work and embarrass”

“H me won’t help, you pretentious man”

I decided to try riding

I stepped on the pedal and started to ride slowly

Although it is faster now, the balance is not there Since the front wheel was shaking and I couldn’t go fast, I fell into the spiral of not being able to balance it, and in the end—

“It’s not working—!”

After falling down, I sat on the ground and yelled

Kaoru scratched his head

“As I expected, just by sitting behind, you couldn’t grasp the feeling”

“Y-you……”

I don’t like this guy! I hate this guy!

“If that’s the case, you’ll accompany me every day until I learn how to ride a bike! Every day!”

“Erm, even if you say that, it will be hard to accompany you every day”

“Stop joking around, do you kno many times you’ve made ht?”

“Man, huh……”

For some reason, Kaoru showed a complicated face and murmured

“Well, if you put it that way I have no other choice Although I can’t do anything great, I’ll accompany you for now”

“Hmph, of course!”

And so, the scrape on ot me a slave in return

I’ll use him to his limits, and throw him ahen he’s useless

I visit Hime’s house every Sunday

The trigger to it is the “doujinshi+[6]” I was forced to buy during the sua, and fro to her house every Sunday for some reason

“And then and then, that guy was totally head over heels for me—”

“That’s soood luck”

Hi her pen fluidly across her notebook

Hia She should be done with panel layouts now, and is using the script I wrote as a ain

Sitting beside her, I wasn’t fooling around either I was busy reading Hime’s collection of books

Actually, we are currently working on our plan of creating a doujinshi+ The reason I was reading this hard was to find a title to work on
