Spring came, and I entered Year 5.131Please respect copyright.PENANAGhSVZSH95c
In 5th Grade, our classes change around.131Please respect copyright.PENANAcPXFZt2dZr
Perhaps my desperate prayers worked because I avoided the Kaburagi-Enjou duo again.131Please respect copyright.PENANAZs89x5BCKT
My own luckiness terrifies me.131Please respect copyright.PENANAsrPrVDWXhX
Given that we change class two times, I thought that I would end up in one of their classes at least once. There are only four classes each time after all.131Please respect copyright.PENANAPc0VP1lhNv
But despite that, I won with a powerful draw!131Please respect copyright.PENANA69Dmf370nm
Aahh, with this, I’ll be able to spend my time peacefully until I graduate from primary.131Please respect copyright.PENANANbvOabDgqi
Now that I was in Year 5, the number of my underclassmen continued to grow, and the number of Enjou and Kaburagi fans grew as well.131Please respect copyright.PENANA0hl3Cq91tK
As for the girls in our grade, my two followers glare at the younger girls and say stuff like “I would really appreciate it if younger students knew their place, and stopped acting so friendly with Kaburagi-sama and Enjou-sama.”.131Please respect copyright.PENANAGOBj47Ndy8
Not only that, girls in the same classes as those two had their guards particularly high. Even when some brave underclassman gains the courage to stand outside their class to watch, those girls never let them close. Truly an impenetrable defence.131Please respect copyright.PENANAuuaMqN6Qsp
When I watch all those girls, I start to want to scream ‘Don’t be fooled by their appearances!’.131Please respect copyright.PENANAJYsWCHijq1
Fukioka-san started attending cram school.131Please respect copyright.PENANALgph3aoALU
Even though Akizawa-kun was supposed to have fully explained things, as I thought, she still hadn’t cleared all her misgivings about me.131Please respect copyright.PENANATqEqLRG64n
The girl her self is from an all-girl’s school, so I suppose it can’t be helped that she worries about Akizawa-kun going to a co-ed. It would be better if he was at least in an all-boy’s school, huh?
“Sakurako. Kisshouin-san is the one that suggested you come to cram school, okay? Get along with her.”
“…Good afternoon. Um, thank you for inviting me.”
While quietly holding onto Akizawa-kun’s sleeve, she greeted me.131Please respect copyright.PENANAFcLpuEtkUs
Mmmmmn. A Japanese-style bishoujo. And with a cuteness that makes you want to protect her, I see.
“Thank you for coming. Isn’t it wonderful that you can spend more time with your beloved Akizawa-kun?”
“Eh-?”
“Hey-, Kisshouin-san!”
Fujioka-san flushed red at my words, but Akizawa-kun flew into a panic.
Give it up already, Akizawa-kun. Being a kind person like you, it’s already impossible for you to escape from her.131Please respect copyright.PENANAaegxiv6dNx
If your cute Childhood Friend-chan starts crying in front of you, I doubt you’d be able to leave her.131Please respect copyright.PENANA0sBMquPhXb
To begin with, as a fellow girl, it seems to be as though the types that boys like to protect are actually the most stubborn and firm ones, aren’t they.131Please respect copyright.PENANAjzkqPS4OGg
Although almost none of the boys ever realise it, huh?131Please respect copyright.PENANAP81bREa1sr
Just how many times in my old life had I been used and betrayed by those types…?131Please respect copyright.PENANAgovDmPvbbd
No, it’s not like I’m saying Fukioka-san is like that, okay?131Please respect copyright.PENANAhaX162JZ1c
Ever since that first greeting on the first day, Akizawa-kun and Fukioka-san have been sitting together, and I’ve been by myself.131Please respect copyright.PENANAznFeBrUqyz
Being the kind person that he is, Akizawa-kun invited me to sit with them, but Fukioka-san looked unhappy about that, so I decided to pass on it. I don’t have a hobby of interfering with other people’s romances, okay?131Please respect copyright.PENANA7G7aJkS42e
And so, for the first time in a while, I went to the convenience store.131Please respect copyright.PENANAVx6bNnDIrj
There were new sweets out, so I bought them to try. And while I was at it, I wanted the taste of the plebs, so I bought a nattou roll as well.131Please respect copyright.PENANA8HCKBofGAc
Quite a good haul.
It was about time to head back to class, so I had decided to go to the bathroom when I suddenly heard the sounds of girls gossipping.
“Drill Hair got her boyfriend stolen by the new girl, didn’t she?”
“Yeah, yeah. She got dumped, and now she’s all alone.”
“The poor thing~ Isn’t it tough to go to the same class as your ex and his new girlfriend?”
“Right?”
“She’s probably too proud to quit.”
“Well yeah, Drill Hair looks like the proud type.”
“She’s a Zui’ran kid after all~ And she’s even got drill hair, so.”131Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0i0ga5PJn
──What the!?
It looks like that’s how everybody else interpreted what happened.131Please respect copyright.PENANADD1JcZSKTl
What completely off-base accusations.
And what’s more, they actually all call me ‘Drill Hair’…?131Please respect copyright.PENANASRaX0gqQZH
‘Drill Hair’… At least call me Rococo or Antoinette or something.131Please respect copyright.PENANAgedXE20kcL
Doesn’t ‘drill hair'(JP: vertical roll) sound like the name of some sort of bread?131Please respect copyright.PENANA1WXn1PApKM
Uwahh, I’m getting depressed.131Please respect copyright.PENANAX0LzNyva9p
I’m not a proud type, you know? I do have drill hair though…
If we’re talking about the Kisshouin Reika in the manga, then she absolutely wouldn’t allow such a rumour, but I don’t have any of the courage needed to march up to them and complain, so I just walked right past the bathroom and went back to class.131Please respect copyright.PENANA0EkvZmDs8I
When I got home, I binged in stress.131Please respect copyright.PENANAeAvlTnt4qw
There’s one other thing I should mention about cram school.131Please respect copyright.PENANAeRjJwPrzZk
Up until now, I’ve only been attending classes for Japanese and maths.131Please respect copyright.PENANAyjJVrDWNr3
But my grades in science and social studies are starting to become dangerous, so this year I’m attending those classes for cram school as well.131Please respect copyright.PENANAkzdHd0PosP
The truth is, I’ve actually been suspicious about these last few years of science and social studies.131Please respect copyright.PENANA1k3732ieVq
When I’m in class, the content makes me wonder if I really actually did this stuff in primary school. Well, of course I probably did. I guess I just totally forgot.131Please respect copyright.PENANAqHspNVOQd8
Basically the only thing I remember about science in primary was playing around with magnets and iron sand. Even Orion is basically the only constellation I remember.
Useless…
As for social studies, the merging of cities and towns has been really intense, and the names that come up are all places I’ve never heard of. I don’t know much about the regional specialties of Japan either. Far from it, I don’t even know what prefectures are in the San’in region.131Please respect copyright.PENANAenDhEldC1B
I have nooo idea about the names of rivers. I can’ttt remember the names of fields.131Please respect copyright.PENANAPwdJSV5IUA
I have no advantage at all over the other kids.
I’ve completely lost all academic advantage from my previous life…
Useless… Old Me, you’re useless!131Please respect copyright.PENANAQqo8vhpMeR
It’s because you did nothing but relax with sweets everyday as you giggled to yourself reading shoujo manga, you brain-rotten idiot!131Please respect copyright.PENANA4SfaAmlsBx
Even though you remember all this useless stuff, you forgot everything you learnt at school!131Please respect copyright.PENANAUB3zSy6AXS
If that brain of yours is only going to remember fujoshi crap like how Tokugawa Iemitsu was a h*mo, then just have some dignity and forget everything to begin with!
So far I’ve somehow managed by studying by myself and getting Oniisama to tutor me, but the classes are getting harder, and Oniisama is busy with his own studies, which is why I decided to go to cram school for those subjects too.131Please respect copyright.PENANAc0hMd9OaPd
In my new science and social studies classes, there were a few boys from Zui’ran. But none of them spoke to me like Akizawa-kun did.131Please respect copyright.PENANAd9xAw0B3Sr
Although they seem to be glancing my way for some reason.131Please respect copyright.PENANAi6fAS2REM7
Hmph. I bet they’re afraid of my drill hair.
Thinking about it like this, Akizawa-kun was pretty precious.131Please respect copyright.PENANApkMOt3vy62
I only realise it now that I’ve lost him. How blessed I was to have him.131Please respect copyright.PENANA3T7BpRyd7m
That feels nostalgic to me now.
I’ve been feeling a little sentimental these days.
