Chapter 34
This is my Christmas present to you, and Id be really glad if you gifted me back with a review on novelupdates! Incidentally, Reika graduates from primary school soon, so lets have one chapter every 15 minutes until she does.
Ever since people started calling him Emperor, Kaburagis popularity rose again. Because of his achievements during the cavalry battle, it seems that his adherents amongst the boys have gone up. Particularly amongst the undercla.s.smen. Amongst all the clamour, apparently the boys who served as The Emperors Horse were boasting about doing so. I cant say I understand how they feel, but as long as the people themselves are happy, then its fine I guess. Emperors fame wasnt contained to the primary school section either. Apparently the stories went as far as the middle school, and I got a mail from Aira-sama reading Apparently Masaya is being called Emperor now, isnt he.. When particularly excited kids called him Emperor to his face though, he would look at them with an icy gaze. So in the end, everybody had a tacit agreement that Emperor would just be an informal nickname, and would never be used in front of him. I think Emperor made the right choice. If he got on board with it like I am the Emperor! then it would definitely turn into dark history and the source of future cringing. Just to be safe, I mailed Aira-sama with It appears that the person himself has not authorised the nickname, so please take care..
But man, to think that the nickname Emperor actually came from Napoleon. As the fake Rococo Queen, he really has terrible compatibility with me. In you are my dolce he had always been called Emperor like it was natural, so I never really paid it much mind. I thought for sure that it was because he ruled over the school like a monarch. But to think that it was an old nickname from primary school. And whats more, the reason it came about was a childrens cavalry battle&h.e.l.lip; If it got explained to you once he was already an adult, wouldnt it sound pretty stupid? Upfffpftt-! Incidentally, I should note that my Drill Hair nickname is completely unauthorised. Rather than a nickname, thats more like an insult after all.
*imouto*
Anyhow, unrelated to my personal opinions on it, the girls around me were completely in love with the Emperor nickname.
Isnt it truly a fitting nickname for Kaburagi-sama?
To our cla.s.s, he was like a conquering hero from the legends~
He was so cool during the cavalry battle~
Hahh~ Emperor is so dreamy&h.e.l.lip;
A refreshing breeze blew in from the window. Autumn really is the most relaxing season~ With my tummy also filled with food from lunch, Im starting to feel sleepy.
Dont you think so too, Reika-sama?
Eh-?
Think what? Er, I wasnt listening at all.
Reika-sama, you also think that Emperor is cool, dont you?
Y-, Yes, well, yes.
Cant go against the majority.
I knew it~
All the girls around me nodded in agreement. All of them like the same people, after all.
I think Reika-sama would be well-matched with Emperor.
Hah?
Right. Its frustrating, but if it was Reika-sama, I could accept it.
If some normal girl was paired with Emperor I definitely wouldnt allow it, but Reika-sama has both the pedigree and refinement worthy of him.
But I still dont want Kaburagi-sama to belong to anybody yet~
If its Reika-sama, Ill definitely cheer for her.
Right. Reika-sama, try your best!
&h.e.l.lip;Hang on there. Whats with this sudden development? To begin with, Kaburagi has Yurie-sama. Although its completely one-sided on his part&h.e.l.lip;
Everyone, are you not misunderstanding something?
My, what would that be?
I do not particularly desire to date Kaburagi-sama or anything as amazing as that. In the end, these are simply feelings of admiration. I would never dream of such a thing.
Seriously, please stop with this! Its a matter of life and death for me, okay!?
But, dont you like Emperor too?
It is admiration. Simple admiration. Something quite different from love.
The girls tilted their heads in confusion.
Then, Enjou-sama? You were together in the executive committee, werent you?
My, so Reika-sama was actually in Team Enjou-sama. Oh my, youre my rival then. But he really is so gentle and dreamy, isnt he~ The other day when we b.u.mped into each other, he asked me if I was okay and then smiled at me!
Hey, are you sure you didnt b.u.mp into him on purpose?
I didnt~!
Sorry for breaking it to you while youre all happy and stuff, but thats also a misunderstanding!
I do not hold any special feelings towards Enjou-sama. Although, naturally I admire him as you all do.
My, is that the case?
That is so.
Need to say it clearly here.
Then, just who on earth do you like, Reika-sama?
Eh- &h.e.l.lip;n.o.body in particular.
Reika-sama, you dont like anybody?
Well, no.
n.o.body at all?
I do not think so, no.
Never ever?
Thus far, I do not suppose there has not been anybody like that, no.
Yeah, my first love is still to come.
Everybodys eyes turned pitying.
So Reika-sama was actually still a child&h.e.l.lip;
GAAHHH&h.e.l.lip;!! OTL I got called a child by a child! What is this silent damage that Im taking&h.e.l.lip;?
I mean, there havent been any princes on white horses yet, so it cant be helped, right!? My ideal is a calm, dreamy, gentle person wholl laugh and forgive my selfishness. Overbearing types like Emperor from the manga are great for screaming Kyaaa! Emperor, so dreamy~~ when its just a manga, but in real life he just causes you trouble. I mean, come on. Barging in uninvited to the house of the girl you like? Who on earth does that. You just cause huge trouble for their family, or the neighbourhood, you know. And confessing in the middle of a crowded road? Mannn, no way, no way. Being forgiven for everything you do because youre a hot guy? Thats only the case in manga. At least in my opinion. And so, in that sense, a logical and gentle person is best, hey? Where can I find my ideal man, I wonder~ Huh? Isnt he sitting at my house studying for his exams?
What do I do. Could it be that I really am a brocon&h.e.l.lip;?
*imouto*
Later after school, I, Reika the child, was called to the staff room.
Kisshouin-san, could you join the executive committee for the Learning Presentation?
I decline.
That thing is even harder than the Athletics Meet. Just who on earth would say yes. Ive retired from being an odd jobs master. Even if you flatter or soothe me, Im definitely refusing. The tears of an old guy wont move my heart at all.
*imouto*
Ever since my experiences during the Athletics Meet, I gained the courage to refuse.
