Chapter 127 (2/2)

“I shall go discuss this with the Club President at once!”

With that, she flew off

…She ht have been a member of the Pivoine, but Kisshouin-senpai really wasn’t scary at all, was she

At least that hat I thought One day I was being harassed by boys froain They had done this a lot since finding out what club I had joined I spent each day nervous that it would finally escalate into bullying

I had hoped that I could just endured it But when they snatched the bag with er

It was at that moment that Kisshouin-senpai appeared

She was like a different person to the senpai who attended club activities with a carefree smile Kisshouin-senpai confrontedwith a s-shot from the Pivoine, s

I was really happy when she said that I was important to her

And just a o she had the same aura of a ruler that the Emperor did It was so cool

I decided that until she graduated I would follow her all the way!

When we entered the classroom, senpai had transformed into her usual self completely

With a new pair of men’s socks in her hand, she said to me,

“I want to embroider a tanuki on these, so could you please help?”

Why tanuki on socks, I wondered, and asked her as much

“To harass a lying tanuki,” she replied

After I taught her how to do it, she muttered,

“None of the socks will escape…” as she began e some mysterious creature onto it

I supposed that a commoner like me would never understand the taste of a noble…

The next day I was summoned by Kotou-san from the class next door Kotou-san was a fa middle school Despite that she was bold and unrestrained, and back when she made an enemy out of scores of Internal Students she shot back,

“Not only do you second-rates have worse marks than me, but you have less rounds to complain!”

At the end of it all she even formed her own faction She was scary And I had no clue why she had called me out…

While I was standing there filled with anxiety, Kotou-san raised her chin haughtily and declared with equal arrogance,

“Well, if you're Reika-san's kouhai then I guess I have no choice but to protect you too If anybody bothers you, report to me I’ll crush them!”

Surprised, I asked her why she was doing this only to find out that shockingly, Kisshouin-senpai was her cousin I co well, but she denied it and yelled at me instead

With Kisshouin-senpai and Kotou-san behind one quiet

Speaking of Kotou-san, although she ilful and had a strong ego, she was the type to protect her own Thanks to that, she had a lot of coirls Now it looked like I was set to be one as well

One day she gave me an order

“Reika-san has been getting fat recently Shop Boy Go and let her know that she’s getting fat”

Naturally there was no way I could say that!

I flat-out refused, but instead she replied,

“Then I’ll go tell her!”

before trying to rush out of the classroom

“Noooo! Please don’t!” screamed a nu her but now Kotou-san was pouting

“But Reika-san…” she sulked

She really did love Senpai, didn’t she?

Anyhoasn’t exactly happy about it but she gave me the nickname ‘Shop Boy’

It had all begun with this

“So your name is Minami Raita? Then it’s Minarai(Apprentice) for short, isn’t it From today on you’re Apprentice”

I told her that I didn’t want a nickname like that

“Oh Then since you’re an apprentice, Shop Boy it is”

That was hoas stuck with soh…

But oddly enough, it see to me more after I turned into ‘Shop Boy’

Because I had Senpai and Kotou-san, nobody used h I was a Shop Boy, and everybody remembered me now too

I guess in that sense being a Shop Boy wasn’t so bad then…?

My new friend, as oddly well-inforiven Kisshouin-senpai a love poe on the piano Not only that but his best friend, Enjou-senpai, had shared an uift too, and she was just living an incredibly splendorous life That was Kisshouin-senpai for you~

When I looked out theI think I saw Senpai and her friends being attacked by a flock of pigeons But I must have made a mistake How could that have happened to Kisshouin-senpai?

The senpai in the Student Council often worried about Externals like us The other day they told me,

“If you end up in trouble with any of the Internal Students, and particularly any of the Pivoine, please come and talk to us”

I threw out my chest and replied,

“I have Kisshouin-senpai so I’ll be fine!”

Translator’s note:

“I was really happy when she said that I was important to her”

To clarify, the line she originally used in chapter 125 was literally,

‘Minami-kun is my club’s daiji na kouhai’

Daiji literally translates to i ‘valuable’ (in the sense of strategic or exhaustible resources), ‘precious’ (in the sense of friends, family, or a loved one), or somewhere in-between

The joke is that (although she obviously doesn’t reallyhi that she and the club cherish him as a member

”Minami-kun is somebody very important to my club”

“I was really happy when she said that I was important to her”

was how I tried conveying the ‘’ What do you think?
