Chapter 196 (2/2)

Maybe the air was too dry, because he coughed from time to time

“Are you all right, Yukino-kun?”

“Yeah, I’m fine Is your cold better, Reika-oneesan?”

“Yes I am very well”

I didn’t have the ot really sick either

“I hear you were ado Try not to overdo it, all right?”

“Yes”

He smiled happily as he blew on the hot tea in his hands

The other members of the Pivoine were all enraptured by him too

They gathered around our sofa and asked him this or that

The former President Youko-sama was there as well

Even after retiring, Youko-sama was still the radiant centre of the Pivoine

Kaburagi didn’t do much as President, so Youko-sama still held a lot of influence

What was troublesoh school and middle school

Because of that, the high school first years were already very familiar with her

Not that I don’t think Kaburagi could bring them under his own influence if he could just be bothered to use his charisma

The guy hih

You know, Kaburagi, Wakaba-chan still irritates Youko-sama

If you becaet your act together!

“Reika-oneesan, is so?”

“Eh?”

“You expression looked a little scary for a moment”

“Oh goodness, I apologise I was distracted for a moment…”

I guess without realising I had been glaring at Kaburagi

Isome book

I quickly put on a smile for Yukino-kun

Wow

Itover there, oblivious to everyone else’s worries

What was he reading, anyhow?

Don’t tell y!?

God, what if it was Heine again?

I sealed the last one away because it had the stench of being dumped

I wonder if having it nearby was the cause of my love troubles

Maybe there was a better way of disposing of it

Oh, ive it to Tsuruhana-san

She’d always been fond of Kaburagi, after all

I bet she’d be overjoyed

But despite being his fan, apparently she gave chocolates to a whole slew of boys

Some upperclassmen confessed to her too

Why!

She had such a bad personality, so as she so popular!?

Did nobody care about youur personality as long as you were a beauty!?

So boys were all like that after all!

And why not me…!?

“Reika-oneesan?”

Oh gosh Did I ain?

Ah well, whatever

While everyone was caught up in ro to studyboard

Just watch me!

Tonight I was studying past ht

For supper, I’d have red udon for good luck

Anyhow, after Yukino left with Enjou, I stayed back at the salon for a bit before heading to the carpark

Katsuragi was glaring at me there

“Did you really give chocolates to Enjou-san!?”

You don’t have to shout I can hear you just fine

And , is your information network slow

“They were for his brother, Yukino”

Since it was cold I just walked right past him

“Enjou-san already has Yuiko-san! You got that? Don’t get in the way!”

Aah, shut up already

That was soh

There was a chance that Yuiko-san ht have heard about the chocolates too…

What a pain
