The trip was fun.118Please respect copyright.PENANABeniCpybkU
When I saw the blue sea in front of the hotel, my mood shot up.118Please respect copyright.PENANAguq2DwwhyQ
Naturally we stayed at suite rooms. I was in a suite with Oniisama, with separate bedrooms on either side of the living room.118Please respect copyright.PENANApQ7i3Ll8uz
My parents went sunbathing on the beach and to beauty salons and stuff, and almost never went to the beach.118Please respect copyright.PENANAwswmiWN3dY
Ridiculous. Going to the beach and not swimming? What on earth are you doing here!
At times like this I’m glad I have an older sibling.118Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0B5xYHpml
He can act as both my guardian as well as somebody I can drag to the beach as my playmate.118Please respect copyright.PENANAUQU3Wz7inr
I invited Oniisama to the beach from the very morning, and indulged myself in the sea. I did stuff like snorkeling, as well as clinging to Oniisama’s shoulders and swimming like a baby turtle.118Please respect copyright.PENANACVOVBqnPJQ
Oniisama is actually already in his second year of middle school, so he should have actually found it boring to play with his little sister though.118Please respect copyright.PENANAQFlaxAeJJE
Maybe he actually wanted to invite his close friends like Kaburagi Masaya did, but in that case I would be myself, so he probably held back.118Please respect copyright.PENANAHArSyCau9j
I got a little ahead of myself and started swimming boldly. Well, even professionals make mistakes, so I drowned a little, but Oniisama came to save me in a panic. That was a good memory too.
I did put on sunscreen, but I turned pitch black anyway, so Okaasama was like The Scream when she saw me.
After coming back from the trip and basking in the good memories, I also had more piano lessons and concentrated for the autumn recital, as well as other lessons as well, and also going to family gatherings and stuff too, and because each and every day just seemed to have something planned, I spent all my time busily, and before I knew it the holidays were almost over and the summer party was just ahead.
“Reika, are you ready?”
Having finished his preparations first, Oniisama waited for me by my room.
“Yeees!”
Today was my first summer party, so I was being escorted by Oniisama, a middle section Pivoine member.118Please respect copyright.PENANAFMk6JQ5dmu
How reassuring.
“Your dress is cute. It suits you well. Is that a real flower in your hair?”
Ehehe.118Please respect copyright.PENANARbl3yJQKyH
Geez, Oniisama. What a silver tongue you have.118Please respect copyright.PENANAm0CTJUhNnP
I also quite like this dress. When I first saw this sherbet green flare dress in the shop, I was taken by it at a glance.118Please respect copyright.PENANAVIlmMjcpzL
It’s summer-ey, and really cute.118Please respect copyright.PENANAnd1jMghqeE
I bought it before the trip so I thought “Isn’t my atmosphere kind of ephemeral? Muhuhu.” when it went with my pale skin, but because of this unexpected tan the image has gone a bit off. But still, isn’t this child-like healthiness also quite good?118Please respect copyright.PENANACHQjvLNhfg
Okaasama had gone to buy this dress with me. She looked a little crestfallen when she saw me just now, but I’ll pretend I didn’t see that.118Please respect copyright.PENANA628A4tkXGs
I had my hair done at a salon, and in place of a hair accessory I had a fresh white flower placed in.118Please respect copyright.PENANAXbZRQOLAJ0
Aah, I feel like a princess.
I’m really starting to feel like a stylish girl.118Please respect copyright.PENANAq0Jzrbwlg0
Honestly, I can’t stop my smirking anymore, you know?118Please respect copyright.PENANA4IRFBmkTaL
I mean I’m wearing my favourite dress, and I’ll be going to the summer party!118Please respect copyright.PENANAAWfx7uXdA1
But this kind of smile isn’t very ladylike, so I need to be careful.118Please respect copyright.PENANAIubWJDH7R0
Still, my cheek muscles won’t listen to me. -smirk smirk-
“Shall we go then?”
“Yes!”
A car was taking us all the way to the hotel venue, so I was fine even with these heeled sandals on.118Please respect copyright.PENANAHgbxscVmMK
Aah, I’m so excited~
“Hey, hey, Oniisama. Won’t you tell me about the summer party?”
“Again? Didn’t I talk about it just recently? We’re almost there, so you can see it for yourself.”
Oniisama gave a wry smile, but I couldn’t help it. I just really want to know.118Please respect copyright.PENANAclLnmF8gQE
I feel bad for making Oniisama have the same conversation over and over again though.
The meeting place was a hall on the first floor in a hotel in the middle of the city, and the room faced a private garden so you could relax on the terrace.118Please respect copyright.PENANAUDPJ8H1feY
According to Oniisama, there was a really pretty rose arch in that garden.118Please respect copyright.PENANAmfVPn4gUNO
“It’s a garden I think you’d like, Reika.” he said.118Please respect copyright.PENANASALVQMrZiP
The summer party usually began during the evening, but given how late the summer sun set, it was apparently possible to enjoy the garden in both the sunlight and the night lights.
“We must definitely go to the garden! Okay?”
“Yes, yes.”
The food is being served as stand-up buffet, but there are also tables and chairs for people who want to sit down and eat properly.118Please respect copyright.PENANAzNq1bNPWDq
But most people attended to socialise, so nobody actually sat down to eat a lot, Oniisama said.118Please respect copyright.PENANArF7vyDfAWo
What a waste~ It’s cuisine from a high-class restaurant too!118Please respect copyright.PENANAwnBJP341r4
When I was planning on going to a buffet in my past life I would fast all day so that I could eat to my heart’s content, too…118Please respect copyright.PENANAc2DXe10XKY
I mean, in my mind ‘buffet = eat until you die!’ after all…118Please respect copyright.PENANAjgQE7B2ppO
Speaking of which, I often went with my friend to dessert buffets, didn’t I. Each time I went with the goal of conquering every dish they offered, but not once did I get around to them all, huh~118Please respect copyright.PENANAsZM4BKQubu
…I wonder if everybody is doing well…
“Reika?”
Hah-! No good, no good. I went into my own little world.118Please respect copyright.PENANAh7alPAtSJI
I’d better make sure not to think about anything unnecessary.
“It’s exciting, isn’t it, Oniisama.”
After all, I’m Kisshouin Reika now.
