Chapter 231 (2/2)

“H her the Miss of our school as well”

“Wow…”

With each response, the girls around me became more quiet and subdued

“She was so popular that there were even a few kids orshi+pped her like a Goddess”

“A Goddess…”

For a lanced irl that popular would have more than a few jealous eneely Yuiko-san didn’t have anybody like that Maybe it was because she always looked so fragile and made you want to protect her”

I could see it

All of the girls, present company included, had been so harsh when it caely I hadn’t heard anybody publicly criticise Yuiko-san in the least

Maybe it really was that at up another comparison, Maihama Ema had stirred up a stori

What happened to her, anyhow? I hadn’t seen her in a while

I decided to ask Sakurchan the next tiraceful type of beauty that stirs up the urge to protect her, huh…?” one of the girls mused

“Well, she’s basically the exact opposite to Reiksan,” Ririna said

What the heck? So are you saying I’ainly and nasty and the type to live as a loner then?

Well excuse me! I think I’d like that watch back!

While I sulked, Ririna placed a hand on my shoulder as she sood in your oay too”

You’re the last person I want to hear that froht off my shoulder

Speak of the devil

No sooner had I left the cafeteria forwith soi, as it happened If possible I’d have liked to avoid the noisy bugger

But despite nored my intentions and called out to me anyway

“Kisshouin-san, thank you for yesterday Yukino was absorbed in that book the whole way hoe that he enjoyed it so,” I replied under Bird-Brain’s crazy glare

Well, not that I was the least bit intiazes froirls behindwas… Was it just , or did that look exactly like the sirlfriend?

“I’d appreciate it if you could spare so me to invite you over”

“My! Uhuhu”

The words ‘invite you over’ had Serikchan and the others riled up, but Bird-Brain’s expression just turned gri this, wasn’t he? He deliberately used those words just to causeover, Yukino-kun Your older brother is basically another pigeon to et pricked by a rose bush!+

“Ah, it is about time to return to class…” I said to excusesounds of dissatisfaction, but ould willingly get friendly with soe?

Say ‘No!’ to thoughtless e stands alone!

I was kind of beat…

Everything was Kaburagi and Enjou’s fault Yesterday I was being toyed around with by other people’s love stories Actually before yesterday too Haah…

Sweet things were best when you were tired I could start my diet tomorrow

After classes finished I headed to the Pivoine for some sweets in the time before club activities started

I sat myself down on the usual sofa and enjoyed soh to make, so I decided to try my hand at it when I had the chance

Oh, and since it was apples, what if I made the compote base with cider instead of water?

Maybe the hint of bitterness would make the taste more mature and adult

It orth a try

“Reiksaht I sit with you?”

I looked up and found Fuyuko-sa for her to speak toas she tended to be

I offered her a seat, and she took it before peering at me orry

“Reiksama, you look a little unwell”

“Do you think so?”

Maybe h I had better eat so withwhile ere on the field trip”

“My, did you buy some essential oils?” I asked

In a rarely exciteing out a board with letters and nu with a little heart-shaped coaster with a hole in it

Along the top of the board were ‘YES’ and ‘NO’ in English

Ah, of course Fuyuko-sama was one of thes before, and it was giving ht this be?” I ventured

“This is a ouija board! We can use this to communicate with spirits of the beyond We hold this planchette on top of the board and ask the spirits a question, and they will borrow our hands to move the planchette to the ‘YES’ or the ‘NO’ They can use the alphabet and nu This was Kokkuri-san

“Is this… Kokkuri-san…?” I asked her hesitantly, to which she replied “No, this is a ouija board”

But the more I listened to her happy explanation of how to use it, the more it sounded exactly like Kokkuri-san

For all that Fuyuko-saht have looked like a Heian-era noble, her tastes in the occult were decidedly Western…

“Youon your mind Co on !

It’s scary, okay You shouldn’t play with these things lightly, you know!

I hear you can even get haunted, okay!?

“Oh my, look at the time I aokigen’yoh, Fuyuko-sa away

For soht on ain

Wait, what if this weight was a ghost…!?

Gyaaaaaah! Scaryyyyy!

On the e of the staircase I frantically smacked my back to chase away any evil spirits
