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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAzJcWWSqDyB
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAL6OT5yqDsY
I heard from Aira-sama that Yurie-sama was spending more time around him out of consideration.94Please respect copyright.PENANARC0IsFZnGX
Still, on days when Yurie-sama is too busy to come, Kaburagi just sighs as he looks out the window.94Please respect copyright.PENANAev1wGTHPnJ
I wonder if he’s going to start writing poems again. Maybe I should teach him flower divination.94Please respect copyright.PENANA8GtJInqCce
Ah, and I also know a good matchmaker shrine, okay? The fortunes are really accurate. You should go too, Kaburagi-sama.94Please respect copyright.PENANA6e6D7w6R0Q
Speaking of poems, Class Rep made no progress at all despite his daring show of his love.94Please respect copyright.PENANAZhuvgawkjS
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAroJGk4tDzR
I really don’t get how this guy’s criteria for embarrassment…94Please respect copyright.PENANAKuVhUsvDPk
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAibJSMJia2i
Apparently he actually wanted Miharu-chan to realise his feelings through that poem.94Please respect copyright.PENANAovac7rsaMC
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!94Please respect copyright.PENANAw8GIkGzXYh
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAXQNu1loSH6
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANA5F2YLzm7BZ
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAjGjelHHe5d
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?94Please respect copyright.PENANAvfDHJIHovm
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAUmfUkrCuqj
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANArOlphEaT6T
Miharu-chan looked at me with understanding and nodded, “Try your best next year, okay?” in a completely unnecessary consolation.94Please respect copyright.PENANAg7rvppyYUO
How are you going to take responsibility for this, Class Rep!94Please respect copyright.PENANAwwkikq8q1e
And now Miharu-chan thinks I like someone!94Please respect copyright.PENANA3tV7thZT4F
As for Class Rep, he was incredibly moved when I passed her White Day present onto him.94Please respect copyright.PENANAYBn87a3STi
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAeg5wHtzdbe
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!94Please respect copyright.PENANA9usOZ1dAbi
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAP2eWraGlN7
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANACZeTmI8DSx
Dyed hair is basically banned. But well, I hear some girls secretly use just a tiny bit so that it looks natural.94Please respect copyright.PENANAwxf7KwYuf4
And I’ve got my curled hair too.94Please respect copyright.PENANAE9P3f7M7g4
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?94Please respect copyright.PENANA1JDIS8j2fO
Or perhaps, surprisingly, she pierced them herself.94Please respect copyright.PENANAhpiVA32eIO
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAYcdNLentXM
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAgLrfDCFay5
Serika-chan and the others began a sneaky discussion about whether or not to tattle on them.94Please respect copyright.PENANAgOnRoCFpBt
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAbiRKMzvuyU
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAlgThUupqSQ
While all this was happening, I heard that Kaburagi attended the high school graduation ceremony with lilies (yuri).94Please respect copyright.PENANAqo5SHEg9oY
Class Rep, Kaburagi, why are all these guys turning into maidens? I was a little envious.94Please respect copyright.PENANAA9GaudvZxP
But lilies, huh. Could it be that he saw the time Oniisama brought me uraras, and actually really liked it?94Please respect copyright.PENANAV3EbLkIOHO
Actually, there was the time when he danced the waltz with Yurie-sama too.94Please respect copyright.PENANACoH6p8x0Zn
Leaving Oniisama aside, perhaps Kaburagi should become Imari-sama’s disciple or something.94Please respect copyright.PENANA8TIestQT3x
The other day, Imari-sama came over for the first time in the while, and he gave me some boxed flowers.94Please respect copyright.PENANAVF87lfaqgN
Boxed preserved flowers. Super stylish. Great for Valentine’s and Christmas.
So stylish! As expected of Imari-sama!94Please respect copyright.PENANAADPL1eD6jU
Kaburagi, apparently men can’t stick to just bouquets, like a one trick pony!94Please respect copyright.PENANAASqbWLIamm
Around the time cherry blossoms began to fall in full bloom, we all advanced into third years.
