Chapter 17
I, Kisshouin Reika, have been appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, the role of spy, or in other words, gopher.
*imouto*
*imouto*
After that, the Emperor drove everybody else out from the salon, leaving me, Emperor and Enjou, at which point the strategy meeting began.
First of all, what did you hear from Aira?
Uuu, his glare is so scary&h.e.l.lip; I wanna run away.
L-, Like I said, that Yurie-sama wishes to rake you over the coals&h.e.l.lip;
Why did you hear something like that from Aira?
When we met by chance at the English tutoring school, Aira-sama a-, asked about you, K-, Kaburagi-sa, ma, and I replied that you did not seem well, at which point she informed me of Yurie-samas feelings.
Scary, so scary. Please dont glare at me~ Also I ended up using his name for the first time to his face. Because I was so nervous, I bit my tongue. Please, somebody just save me already~
The h.e.l.l do you think youre doing, casually spreading rumours about others?
Quite right, Your Majesty. Anybody would be unhappy if people talked about them behind their back. I&h.e.l.lip; might be done for, even before I meet the protagonist&h.e.l.lip;
Now, now. Dont intidimate her so much. Youre scaring her.
Right?, asked Enjou with a smile. Can I trust that smile?
Shaddup, Shuusuke.
To begin with, right now pretty much the whole school is talking about you, right? Right, Kisshouin-san?
Please dont look to me. Because even if I agreed with you, theres no way Id be able to say it. Even if its the truth.
Shuusuke, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d&h.e.l.lip;
Masaya, you want information on Yurie too, right? Then instead of threatening her, request it of her properly. Well, if its Aira, then I could ask for you though.
Yes, yes please, please do. And even a second earlier, please liberate me from this place.
No. Aira definitely wouldnt tell you. Ill use this woman instead.
Aah, that might be right. Then, Kisshouin-san, can we ask this of you? Specifically, we want to know how angry Yurie-sama is, for example, or when she plans on forgiving him perhaps. Masaya, is there anything else?
&h.e.l.lip;Whether or not Yurie even plans on forgiving me.
Hm~mm, well Yurie herself said that she just wanted to rake you over the coals, so I dont think shes cutting you off. If you convey to her that youve really been reflecting, she might forgive you.
I SEE!
He suddenly got livelier. This guy&h.e.l.lip; isnt he surprisingly simple? GYAH-, Im sorry for being cheeky! Im sorry! Dont glare at mee~ Im starting to think Emperor really can read minds.
Alright! You there. Whens your next English cla.s.s?
I have one the day after tomorrow.
The heck. Isnt that still ages? Better that you go there right now and ask Aira for me.
Dont ask for the impossible.
If Yurie founds out that youve been overbearing again, shell get even angrier, you know? In this case, you should quietly wait out these two days.
!! I see. Itd be bad if she got any angier.
As soon as Yurie-samas name appears, Emperor listens obediently. He really is simple.
And thats how it is. Well be relying on you, Kisshouin-san.
~smiiile~
It doesnt matter what I have to say? Is that how it is?
You there! What was your name again?
&(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});#8220;It is Kisshouin Reika&h.e.l.lip;
Youre asking after all this time? Not that I mind.
Alright! Kisshouin! Become a splendid spy, and fulfil your duties!
Hah&h.e.l.lip;
What spy. Im just a gopher, arent I.
Completely energised again, perhaps he was hungry now, because Emperor went to get sweets.
Hes not a ridiculously arrogant person or anything. Who was it that said this? It was me. You really have no eye for people, me~ If this isnt ridiculously arrogant, then just what on earth is? Why is it that even though weve pretty much never spoken before, and even though he doesnt even know my name, he uses me this much like its natural? Should I just tell Aira-sama, and have her snitch to Yurie-sama? Hes been threatening a helpless girl into being his gopher, she could say. &h.e.l.lip;Nonono, dont do anything desperate now. If you do that, youll be killed, one hundred percent. Yes. Absolutely.
Try your best, okay? Kisshouin-san. If you succeed, your adored Masaya will be grateful.
I dont particularly adore him or anything&h.e.l.lip;
Because of the ridiculous treatment, I accidentally muttered a bit as my real self. Any adoration I had for Emperor was cleanly left behind in my old life. Yeah, I adored a 2d character and I was a bit of an embarra.s.sing girl. Problem? Right now Emperor is synonymous with destruction for me, so I havent an atom of adoration for him.
Oh? Really? I mean, I notice you looking at him a lot. Thats why I thought that you liked him too. I mean, look, all your friends loiter around us too.
What a way of putting things. And whats more, he noticed my secret observation.
The two of you are quite conspicuous, and so I could not help but look your way. If I have troubled you by doing so, I apologise. I shall pay more attention henceforth.
For now, what I need to do first is pull myself together. Now that Im not under Emperors glare, the lion big cat in my heart has returned. As if I would lose to Enjou on his own.
Well then, if this is all that you have to say, I shall take my leave. Gokigenyoh.
I want to leave this demons lair as quickly as possible. I want to sprint full speed out of this place with my tail between my legs.
Yeah, goodbye. Take care, okay?
Enjou gave me a gentle wave.
As I was leaving, Emperor spotted me as he nibbled on a biscuit and said,
YEAH! Gopher, make sure to do your job!
So he even called me a gopher in the end&h.e.l.lip; Wasnt I supposed to be a spy! Jeez.
*imouto*
*imouto*
The mouth is the mother of all calamities. Honestly, I think Im about to cry. About all sorts of things. Its said that in all times and places, spies that failed their mission were disposed of by their organisations. Will tomorrow bring me success or failure?
*imouto*
*imouto*
*imouto*
*imouto*
TL note: Again, gokigenyoh is a veeeeery traditional, feminine greeting. So dated and ojousama-esque that the average j.a.panese person will never hear it said in real life. Well, I say average because it really depends on the circles you run in&h.e.l.lip;
Think, I bid you bonjour and I bid you adieu for all greetings, except, you know, not French.
