Now that Aira-sama and Yurie-sama had gained entry into the schools they wanted to join, all that was left was waiting for their graduation.95Please respect copyright.PENANAfCNNbKcYtd
Since Yurie-sama won’t be coming to the salon once she graduates, Kaburagi has been secretly depressed under his mask of composure. It seems that he was hit pretty hard by the even greater difficulty of a middle schooler dating a university student. But no matter how hard you try, you can’t really do anything about an age gap.95Please respect copyright.PENANAfNVovjSbWq
I heard from Aira-sama that Yurie-sama was spending more time around him out of consideration.95Please respect copyright.PENANAOW6bAQR2fS
Still, on days when Yurie-sama is too busy to come, Kaburagi just sighs as he looks out the window.95Please respect copyright.PENANAQYE0FY5Qed
I wonder if he’s going to start writing poems again. Maybe I should teach him flower divination.95Please respect copyright.PENANAjqjejbj1f3
Ah, and I also know a good matchmaker shrine, okay? The fortunes are really accurate. You should go too, Kaburagi-sama.95Please respect copyright.PENANABtRvKfq95l
Speaking of poems, Class Rep made no progress at all despite his daring show of his love.95Please respect copyright.PENANAdPFvbog3wj
I had been sure that he would confess after that, but since he showed no signs of it, I went and asked him. He replied that he was too embarrassed to try.95Please respect copyright.PENANAxkultEpHCS
I really don’t get how this guy’s criteria for embarrassment…95Please respect copyright.PENANAeScEXqCVvS
Thinking this, I asked him why he did such a thing… and he replied that he was influenced by Shimazaki Touson, and had done it before he realised. That disease really is terrifying.95Please respect copyright.PENANAm5KYLNo5Xk
Apparently he actually wanted Miharu-chan to realise his feelings through that poem.95Please respect copyright.PENANAYieiCr18Ma
You think that because ‘Miharu(美波留)’ has ‘waves(波)’ in it, she’d realise because you drew a picture of a sea? Who the heck would!95Please respect copyright.PENANArmx5wsMko7
If you were in the same class and were close to begin with, then sure, maybe, but if she thought it was her in this situation, that would just make her a total narcissist.95Please respect copyright.PENANANjcIsnVqhA
In the end he asked me for advice on his next moves, so I suggested that he give her Valentine’s chocolate. In the end I guess he really liked the whole ‘reverse Valentine’s chocolate’ idea because he went and prepared something expensive.95Please respect copyright.PENANAVh4VXCcZHn
Not only that, but apparently he was too embarrassed to give it to her, so he came and asked me to do it instead. Just how much of a maiden are you.95Please respect copyright.PENANAabZVviJWTo
I even told him to at least include a card with a message or something, but in the end he didn’t have the courage for that either. This would have been the time to use the poem. Hm, or maybe follow Touson’s example and draw a picture of an apple or something?95Please respect copyright.PENANA10NhL7QJ6X
In the end, for some reason I ended up giving it to Miharu-chan as a friend-chocolate. She was surprised at the sudden gift, but I was troubled too, okay. I just gave an obviously passion-filled chocolate to a girl I’m not even that close with. What if she misunderstands me and weird rumours spread.95Please respect copyright.PENANAQvSgLJyocH
Well, she actually did misunderstand, but in a completely different way. Somehow the story in her mind became one where I actually had somebody I really liked, but gave the chocolate to her because I lacked the courage to confess.95Please respect copyright.PENANAPL7b4zhJlM
Miharu-chan looked at me with understanding and nodded, “Try your best next year, okay?” in a completely unnecessary consolation.95Please respect copyright.PENANACb4c8K24Fz
How are you going to take responsibility for this, Class Rep!95Please respect copyright.PENANAqqrntE3IqT
And now Miharu-chan thinks I like someone!95Please respect copyright.PENANAHQxqBi688s
As for Class Rep, he was incredibly moved when I passed her White Day present onto him.95Please respect copyright.PENANAcIIwmxFP3A
I’m getting the feeling that he’s transforming further and further into a maiden. I wonder if I can start treating him like a girlfriend already.95Please respect copyright.PENANAFJXug04G5e
One day, I received a bit of news from Serika-chan about Tsuruhana-san.
“Tsuruhana-san got ear piercings.”
“Eh-”
Piercings in middle school!? What a delinquent!95Please respect copyright.PENANAyFGBO9ncVW
Isn’t that forbidden by the school regulations? Ah, well, I guess a drill-hair like me can’t speak.
“Some of the other girls have gotten piercings too.”
“Unbelievable. It’s unacceptable.”
Kikuno-chan and the other girls started joining in too.95Please respect copyright.PENANAqw3YMBUDY9
Unlike other schools, Zui’ran is filled with kids from good families, so image is a huge deal to them. Thanks to that, the school regulations on personal appearance is strict too.95Please respect copyright.PENANAvswx6pn5Da
Dyed hair is basically banned. But well, I hear some girls secretly use just a tiny bit so that it looks natural.95Please respect copyright.PENANA6YM5qrSscL
And I’ve got my curled hair too.95Please respect copyright.PENANAZsDmXUlVoS
But piercings, huhh. I wonder if they’d even do it for a middle schooler without their parents’ consent. Does that mean her parents are fine with it?95Please respect copyright.PENANAKdQeVKetc6
Or perhaps, surprisingly, she pierced them herself.95Please respect copyright.PENANAEVMoloix0l
If that’s the case then she’s really bold. Leaving perms and dyes aside, a lot of traditional families frown upon piercings. Okaasama told me that she wouldn’t allow it either.95Please respect copyright.PENANA4Yr1F3eKBl
Anyway, Tsuruhana-san’s group is getting more and more overbearing. My group is still higher than theirs, but the day that changes might be close.95Please respect copyright.PENANAQqeGS11m1Z
Serika-chan and the others began a sneaky discussion about whether or not to tattle on them.95Please respect copyright.PENANAm72MJPXHhm
I really hope they’d stop. Our group has weak points like my curled hair too.
“Let us watch them for a little longer. I do not think it would be a good idea for us to inform the teachers.”
I somehow managed to calm everyone down, but maybe things are going to get even more heated once we become third years.95Please respect copyright.PENANAQHlkQDPygL
Gosh, I’d hate that. For some reason people think of me oddly highly, but I’m actually the first to run when it comes to a cat fight. Girls are scary.95Please respect copyright.PENANAVvARhw9HFv
While all this was happening, I heard that Kaburagi attended the high school graduation ceremony with lilies (yuri).95Please respect copyright.PENANAreDj9liRVf
Class Rep, Kaburagi, why are all these guys turning into maidens? I was a little envious.95Please respect copyright.PENANAynZgJ0fHzD
But lilies, huh. Could it be that he saw the time Oniisama brought me uraras, and actually really liked it?95Please respect copyright.PENANAkLftNZPCuR
Actually, there was the time when he danced the waltz with Yurie-sama too.95Please respect copyright.PENANARzNOqNxZ4L
Leaving Oniisama aside, perhaps Kaburagi should become Imari-sama’s disciple or something.95Please respect copyright.PENANA0qKVYdezHW
The other day, Imari-sama came over for the first time in the while, and he gave me some boxed flowers.95Please respect copyright.PENANAusJIx5OyAG
Boxed preserved flowers. Super stylish. Great for Valentine’s and Christmas.
So stylish! As expected of Imari-sama!95Please respect copyright.PENANAUniA0ViN8w
Kaburagi, apparently men can’t stick to just bouquets, like a one trick pony!95Please respect copyright.PENANAHHeQdfD3zj
Around the time cherry blossoms began to fall in full bloom, we all advanced into third years.
