Chapter 218 (1/2)
Chapter 218
I was happily digging into the salmon marinade when I felt someone poke me in the back
“Reikoneesan”
“Yukino-kun!”
It was Yukino-kun, ever the picture of a sel
It’s been a while, Yukino-kun~!
I had been busy recently so I hadn’t turned up to the Petit Thanks to that we hadn’t seen each other at all
“May I sit next to you?” he asked
“By all means,” I said “Have you been well?”
“Yes,” he said, politely taking a seat “But it’s been lonely without you around…”
Guhaah!
W-What power!
Are all the kids in the Petit Pivoine such little heartbreakers!?
Uuu, I want to headpat so badly!
“I have missed you too, Yukino-kun!” I exclaimed with all sincerity
Yukino-kun flashed a bright smile in response
Guooh!
I-I was having a nosebleed in my mind…!
“Have you been busy?” he asked
“Yes, quite so”
With the new se with new visitors to the club, dealing with my troublesome disciples’ love problems, honestly I had my hands full
And there was one particularly troublesome disciple that really ate into my time…
“How is being in Year 2, Yukino-kun?”
“Hmmm, I’m not sure yet But I made new friends in my class”
“Goodness, onderful news What kind of people are they?”
“One of the too, so we talk about stars together”
“My, I had no idea”
Yukino-kun and the glittering stars in space It suitsedhim so well! He was like the Little Prince!
“I look at theh my telescope sometimes When there was a ot up to watch theh they told me not to”
“Goodness, staying up late is bad for your health, you know? You did not catch a cold, did you? Hopefully not an asthma attack?”
“Huhu, it was fine Niisaht me some hot chocolate”
“My!”
So even that blackguard could do soood once in a while
“And then atched the ether but I accidentally fell asleep When I woke up in the hed shyly
Sooo cute!
After that I chatted with Yukino-kun some more, and then had some fun with the other kids too
Unfortunately, the time seemed to pass in a flash, and before I knew it it was ti that it was time for me to leave
as well
That hen Yukino-kun suddenly tugged at my sleeve
“Hey, Reikoneesan? Why don’t you let us drop you home?”
“Eh!?”
Uh, that’s a bit…
Ifor et home on my own…
Getting driven home in the Enjou family car is…
“We haven’t es I want to talk some more! Can’t you…?”
“Guh…!”
How could I say no to such an adorable request…!?
I had really missed him as well But…
Uuu, come on, don’t look at me like that, Yukino-kun…
I can’t say no to those puppy eyes…
“Hmmmm… Then perhaps I will…”
“Yay!”
I folded
There was no going against this angel’s adorable eyes
I guess I’d just have theive the Enjou family a proper thank you some time later
“Yukino-kun, your car is here”
“Okaaay”
He led me by the hand as the two of us headed to the entrance
Waiting there was Enjou…
I groaned in reflex
He went out of his way to pick up his brother?
I was surprised he had the time for that
“Good evening, Kisshouin-san”
“Gokigen’you, Enjou-sama…”
It was getting dark now, but under the streetlights his hair see self seem even more princely than usual
“Niisaet driven home with us!”
“Eh?”
“Ah, I mean… Yukino-kun, perhaps this is not such a…”
“Reikoneesan?”
Uoooaah!
His cherubic expression see me,
‘You proht?’
How could I say anything now~!?
“Reikoneesan?”
“Aah~ Y-Yes”
While I struggled to recorasped the situation
“Oh, I see Then get on Is your house okay?”
“…Yes, that would be perfect, thank you”
And that’s how I ended up getting driven home in their car
In the back seat was, in order, me, Yukino-kun, and then Enjou
The morance
“Have fun at the birthday party?” Enjou asked him
“Yeah,” he replied, before turning to me Yukino-kun pointed out the“You can’t quite see Spica yet But the sky isn’t cloudy today, so we’ll be able to see the Spring Triangle”
“Are you two talking about stars?”
“Yes Yukino-kun is actually quite studied”
“Yeah But it’s a problem because he stays up late all the time”
Yukino-kun pouted
“Not every night”
“When ent to Karuizawa during the spring holidays, you stayed up all night and couldn’t get up in the ,” Enjou pointed out
“But that was because the air was really clear, so the stars were extra
extra pretty…”
My, my
Looking for an ally, Yukino-kun tugged at my arm
“You can even see stars that are invisible from Tokyo,” he reasoned
Okay, okay, I understand, Yukino-kun
It’s clearer without all the light pollution, right?
Unable to help ave him a pat on the head
Whoaaaaa, his hair is so soft~
Yukino-kun smiled in embarrassment
“Say, Reikoneesan! Why not have dinner with us before you go?”
“Ehh!?”
Where did this come from, Yukino-kun?
“Dinner?” I asked
“Yeah I’d love to have dinner with you and Niisaht?”
“Eh, but I just ate at Mao-chan’s house…”
And I really ate, so I wasn’t hungry at all
“But…”
“Coly, as he placed a hand on Yukino’s head
Uuu~
I was feeling guilty now
What was I to do…?
Yukino-kun, don’t look so down
And damn you, Enjou, weren’t your words too harsh?
