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.89Please respect copyright.PENANA67QFfZqwdd
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAmtzFIOZfRv
I heard from Aira-sama that Yurie-sama was spending more time around him out of consideration.89Please respect copyright.PENANAIFfBwB4TpT
Still, on days when Yurie-sama is too busy to come, Kaburagi just sighs as he looks out the window.89Please respect copyright.PENANAsvqkYuNvVm
I wonder if he’s going to start writing poems again. Maybe I should teach him flower divination.89Please respect copyright.PENANACa42ZNB34c
Ah, and I also know a good matchmaker shrine, okay? The fortunes are really accurate. You should go too, Kaburagi-sama.89Please respect copyright.PENANAfY5bBKy3GQ
Speaking of poems, Class Rep made no progress at all despite his daring show of his love.89Please respect copyright.PENANATK0GArZIvl
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAOmdxQeiCV1
I really don’t get how this guy’s criteria for embarrassment…89Please respect copyright.PENANANgNcNzLMo5
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAScX628k8jo
Apparently he actually wanted Miharu-chan to realise his feelings through that poem.89Please respect copyright.PENANAW8S0VzMdJZ
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!89Please respect copyright.PENANA6pvOKcrWG6
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAImrWLtQY5u
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAykKTYJakEJ
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAo5dClavAks
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?89Please respect copyright.PENANABcnFGS8NJ6
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAXP5hzZ7ASJ
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAoVBDhzd3AY
Miharu-chan looked at me with understanding and nodded, “Try your best next year, okay?” in a completely unnecessary consolation.89Please respect copyright.PENANAd5wCakjRUb
How are you going to take responsibility for this, Class Rep!89Please respect copyright.PENANAb6lMjujroA
And now Miharu-chan thinks I like someone!89Please respect copyright.PENANAa1OrPlVPdx
As for Class Rep, he was incredibly moved when I passed her White Day present onto him.89Please respect copyright.PENANAzb4iSoZoSH
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAkRt1MzCa1d
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!89Please respect copyright.PENANAbazhOJa2Iq
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAnDtCoanfrZ
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAoS3Hxi8S4I
Dyed hair is basically banned. But well, I hear some girls secretly use just a tiny bit so that it looks natural.89Please respect copyright.PENANAT0n2wJ9UFo
And I’ve got my curled hair too.89Please respect copyright.PENANAV5s4T19bIZ
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?89Please respect copyright.PENANAIJxir1axZA
Or perhaps, surprisingly, she pierced them herself.89Please respect copyright.PENANA1R1i4LLTXe
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANABKg4EdMY7z
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANABuUw7LhABv
Serika-chan and the others began a sneaky discussion about whether or not to tattle on them.89Please respect copyright.PENANAWAZe8vmLyd
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANA8DY3xExvid
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANA4S8GAzw240
While all this was happening, I heard that Kaburagi attended the high school graduation ceremony with lilies (yuri).89Please respect copyright.PENANAhkGUuLJAGR
Class Rep, Kaburagi, why are all these guys turning into maidens? I was a little envious.89Please respect copyright.PENANA4KFOp4576M
But lilies, huh. Could it be that he saw the time Oniisama brought me uraras, and actually really liked it?89Please respect copyright.PENANAlf7F7MbfMS
Actually, there was the time when he danced the waltz with Yurie-sama too.89Please respect copyright.PENANACBt0cqPYXO
Leaving Oniisama aside, perhaps Kaburagi should become Imari-sama’s disciple or something.89Please respect copyright.PENANADGy2eGfHOK
The other day, Imari-sama came over for the first time in the while, and he gave me some boxed flowers.89Please respect copyright.PENANARUPY3gSSBh
Boxed preserved flowers. Super stylish. Great for Valentine’s and Christmas.
So stylish! As expected of Imari-sama!89Please respect copyright.PENANA5bNt2kMpqV
Kaburagi, apparently men can’t stick to just bouquets, like a one trick pony!89Please respect copyright.PENANAddGU2W3RSo
Around the time cherry blossoms began to fall in full bloom, we all advanced into third years.
