Kenkyo, Kenjitsu o Motto ni Ikite Orimasu

Chapter 18



In j.a.pan, texting isnt done via sms phone numbers. Its done by email. Hence exchanging addresses is sort of like exchanging mobile numbers, except that you arent given their call number, only their text number so to say.

Akizawa-kuns innocent smile awaited me at cram school.

Compared to that black duo, Akizawa-kuns smile is like a polar opposite. Aah, hes so soothing&h.e.l.lip;

Whats wrong, Kisshouin-san? You seem kind of tired.

Yes, well, various things happened, you see.

Right. Various things.

I was supposed to be living in a way that bothered Emperor as little as possible, but to think that I would be nominated as gopher. What the heck are you doing, me?

I see. Are you okay?

No, Im not okay at all. But I cant get the untainted Akizawa-kun wrapped up in it.

If I fail my mission, please pray for my well-being in the afterlife&h.e.l.lip;

Huh?

To begin with, even if I asked Aira-sama the questions that Emperor gave me, would she even answer? Aira-sama treats me more closely than others, but would she go as far as to answer questions like that? But if she wont answer, then what the heck will happen to me? Will I be yelled at and called a useless gopher? Well, if its just that much, I dont really care. Being the woman hated by Kaburagi Masaya would leave me in a precarious position at school though. Or rather, I was designated as spy in front of all the kids who were in the salon at the time, so wont they all know that Im a gopher now? &h.e.l.lip;The day that my in-school position falls might be sooner than expected. Aahh, the bad possibilities keep on growing.

Hey, Kisshouin-san. Wanna eat these?

Eh-

Akizawa-kun took out individually-wrapped financiers.

My mum gave me these in case I got hungry. Eating sweet things might improve your mood.

After saying those words, Akizawa-kun smiled at me.

A-, AKIZAWA-KUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!

What a good kid. Youre an angel! Its like heaven and earth when compared to those two. Im so glad that I became your friend!

Thanks, Akizawa-kun!

After eating his financiers, I really did feel better. I even thought that it might be okay to share my treasured kinakomochi flavoured Tirolian chocolates with him.

*imouto*

*imouto*

And so finally, the day of English school arrived. Ever since that day, Ive been avoiding the salon. But today, the moment that I stepped out of the cla.s.sroom to leave school, I found Emperor standing in the hallway giving me a You get it, right&h.e.l.lip;? look with his eyes, so as the spy that I was, I replied Yes, of course! with my eyes as well, and immediately headed to the shoe rack. Honestly, now that its come to this, I have no choice but to keep my head down and play the gopher.

After my English cla.s.s finished, I waited anxiously for Aira-samas arrival. I already let my chauffeur know to come a little later, so things were fine in regards to when Id be leaving, but the problem was what time Aira-sama would be coming. If she came just as cla.s.s started, then we wouldnt have any time to talk. As youd expect, I wouldnt be able to just wait here until her cla.s.ses finished. Please, Aira-sama. Come quickly.

Perhaps the heavens were on my side, because Aira-sama appeared almost right afterwards.

Aira-sama!

My, its Reika-san. Gokigenyoh.

Aah, Aira-sama, thank goodnesss&h.e.l.lip;

Um, the truth is, there is in fact something I wish to ask you, Aira-sa(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});ma!

Hm? Ask me?

I didnt want anybody else to hear, so we ended up chatting on the landing of the staircase.

The truth is, it is about Yurie-sama.

Yurie?

Aira-samas expression turned puzzled.

Y-, Yes. Um, just how angry at Kaburagi-sama is Yurie-sama? And when is it that she intends on forgiving him?

There wasnt any time so I just cut right to the chase, but Aira-samas expression turned more and more suspicious.

And why would you want to know about Yurie and Masaya, Reika-san? Enough that you came out of your way to ask me.

Well yeah, that is pretty suspicious. When Im not close to Kaburagi at all, I went and stuck my nose in their business, so Aira-samas reaction was natural. I wonder if I seem like some nosy onlooker to her.

I dont know why youre asking, but if youre prying into this on a whim, youll make Masaya angry, you know?

Ive already made him angry. And Im doing this at Kaburagi Masayas direction. Should I just try telling her the truth? But if I do, theres no way she would give information to Stalker Kaburagis underling. Mm~mm&h.e.l.lip;

Seeing me fall silent as I agonised over it, Aira-sama narrowed her eyes.

Could it be that Masaya said something to you?

Goodness! How did you know! Could it be that Aira-sama can read minds just like Emperor!?

Em, umm&h.e.l.lip;

But should I just come clean? Or should I struggle to keep up my act?

Ah, mn. Got it. Its probably just Masaya telling you to ask about Yurie, right?

Thats exactly it! Youre amazing, Aira-sama. How did you see through everything!?

Looks like he hasnt reflected at all. I wonder if he even understands why Yurie was angry. You can just ignore what Masaya has to say, or so Id like to say, but youre in a spot where you cant do that, right?

Yes. Exactly right.

I nodded up and down.

Alright. Ill ask Yurie for you. As for how angry she is, tell him that threatening unwilling people and working them hard for his own matters like this will just get her even angrier.

That is&h.e.l.lip;

&h.e.l.lip;definitely not something a coward like me could say.

Huhu, but my cla.s.s is about to start, and Ill only be able to ask Yurie after I come home, so&h.e.l.lip; Naturally, next weeks English tutorial would be too late, right?

I cannot say for certain, but probably&h.e.l.lip;

Given that he couldnt even wait until the day after next I cant imagine that hed be able to wait until next week.

Got it. Then, Reika-san, do you have a mobile?

I dont have many chances to use it, but it has a GPS with it, so its more like a crime deterrent. Thats why when I go to the convenience store during cram school, I naturally leave it in the cla.s.sroom for alibi purposes.

Well then, lets exchange addresses. Once I have a talk with Yurie, Ill send you an email.

Can we really!?

Oohhh, to think that I would get Aira-samas address!

The truth is, Aira-sama sports an androgenous short haircut, so around here, shes even more popular than the boys are. There are plenty of girls who seem like theyre even in love with Aira-sama, and some of them have bewitching fantasies about the beautiful princess Yurie-sama and her gallant knight Aira-sama.

&h.e.l.lip;And Im also one of the girls who secretly admire Aira-sama! Thats right! The one that I admire isnt Emperor. Its the Peony Knight, Aira-sama! So dont get so c.o.c.ky, you d.a.m.ned tyrant duo!

Or so I was thinking, but theres no way a coward like me could ever say it to their faces, so its more like the rant of a loser but&h.e.l.lip; Anyway, that doesnt matter. For now, it looks like Ive been able to follow my directives. After all, it looks like Aira-sama is going to help me out because she understands my circ.u.mstances. Whats more, I even gained her email address as an unexpected reward, so Im feeling completely pleased right now. Now then, shall I go home? Today Oniisama is going to be late due to prep studies isnt he. Tsk~ Thats no fun. I wonder if hell make time for me tomorrow. Lala, la~

*imouto*

*imouto*

Watching me walking out of the English cla.s.s elated with my worries gone, was a boy in front of a black car, standing with his arms folded. Kaburagi Masaya.
