After I retired from spying, I had almost no contact with those two, and spent my days in peace.99Please respect copyright.PENANAdEoVKdNFCq
The fact that I was turned into a gopher wasn’t revealed either, and I managed to escape the downfall in hierarchy that I had dreaded.99Please respect copyright.PENANAEuOXAhVe5t
Actually far from it, there’s this misunderstanding now that “Reika-sama is close enough to that Kaburagi-sama that he would personally rely on her” and I’m even the target off some weird envy.99Please respect copyright.PENANAWx9fnwS2cy
No, no, we’re not close, I said.99Please respect copyright.PENANASJFSYvbjYo
Since then, we’ve almost never spoken, so please don’t look at me with those expectant eyes.99Please respect copyright.PENANAsuccyrxNTj
As for Aira-sama, since then we’ve continued to message each other once in a while. What an extravagant mail buddy!99Please respect copyright.PENANAxXrdKThBSG
Aside from advice with studying and talks about her middle school life, she also tells me about how Kaburagi and Yurie-sama are doing.
It was also though Aira-sama that I heard about the success of the letter strategy.99Please respect copyright.PENANASETA5Jl2kU
With a letter written with all of Kaburagi’s heart, and a cute bouquet arriving every day, Yurie-sama folded pretty quickly.99Please respect copyright.PENANAsg7oKhSkhO
Apparently Aira-sama didn’t get to actually read it, but the envelope and writing paper that Yurie-sama showed here were all different varieties, and had cute flowers and animals drawn on them.99Please respect copyright.PENANAuPSrJVUryH
It looks like he properly followed my advice.99Please respect copyright.PENANATtcziSykPp
Since letters about how lonely he was and how hard it was by himself came every day on that cute kind of paper, given that Yurie-sama thought of him as a cute little brother to begin with, apparently her maternal instincts and guilt shook her resolve.
Persuasion by sob story, huh. I’m sure it was Enjou’s idea.
Cunningly, he even wrote about how he wanted to dance with her at this year’s summer party and got a promise from her.99Please respect copyright.PENANAwyTaRlpNmy
As expected of Enjou. Turning even bad luck into opportunity.
And truly, when it came to the summer party, maybe he was hiding his shyness because his face looked unhappy and he was all red and stuff, but he really did end up dancing with Yurie-sama.99Please respect copyright.PENANAGuTZM4rBPR
Could it be that he saw my waltz with Oniisama and longed for the same thing?99Please respect copyright.PENANAhZzziuQ5xO
That he hoped that he could do it one day as well?99Please respect copyright.PENANAV208AVYESD
Even now, Kaburagi is a little shorter than Yurie-sama, but the difference in their height has shrunk since my dance with Oniisama, so maybe he’s been biding his time.99Please respect copyright.PENANAR8EaRLj9c4
As for the waltz itself, even if he’s like that he’s still Kaburagi, so he lead Yurie-sama even though he’s just a little primary schooler.99Please respect copyright.PENANAiOqY3N3dF9
All the Ojousamas were entranced by it.99Please respect copyright.PENANAFFonwZTKSg
I just wanted to snort, and chewed on some roast beef instead.
Also, apparently he really did reflect, because Kaburagi’s stalker attitude calmed down as well.99Please respect copyright.PENANAANbCHhTiJ9
It seems like he’s training himself each day to become more suitable for the older Yurie.99Please respect copyright.PENANA3X8cv6nYcd
At school, he’s got the same cool poker face as usual, and the girls all squeal and make a fuss, but now that I know his true face, I can’t help but want to tell somebody.99Please respect copyright.PENANAt9RGnaV5BO
But if I did that, it’d set me straight on the path to destruction, so when I get home I sink my face into my pillow and scream “HE’S ACTUALLY AN IDIOT YOU KNOWWWW!” “AND HE’S ALSO A STALKER YOU KNOWWWW!” “DON’T BE FOOLEDDDD!” to relieve my stress.99Please respect copyright.PENANAxK8tPaExAS
And so as days like that passed, one day I suddenly received an email from my (in my mind, at least) mail buddy Aira-sama, inviting me to go out during the school anniversary.
A DATE WITH A KNIGHT!!
Of course I’ll go! No matter what, I’ll go!99Please respect copyright.PENANAf2GsCw7Lrd
Aahh, oh my goodness!99Please respect copyright.PENANAZlOvdFoiiE
The role of princess is always played by her best friend Yurie-sama, but for just today I’ll get to be the princess that she protects!?
The maid helped me curl my hair into the usual hairstyle that my mother likes.99Please respect copyright.PENANAruOjzis7Lf
She even added a ribbon to the back of my head, and I looked like a fake Rococo Queen. [←Mary Antoinette]99Please respect copyright.PENANAACbEfAuK7K
But with this Fake Rococo Queen Hair, isn’t it kind of like that manga I read in my past life? The one about the French revolution, with the beautiful cross dressing female knight, and the tragic queen that she protected?99Please respect copyright.PENANAfLiga9gzPq
UKYAAAAAAH!
When I quickly went to brag to Oniisama about my outing with Aira-sama, he said that it was dangerous for just two girls, so he and his friend Imari-sama would be coming along as well.
Aahh, oh my goodness!99Please respect copyright.PENANAmAkbZmHIs2
Not just Aira-sama, but Oniisama and Imari-sama as well!99Please respect copyright.PENANAMsmBYLCIIN
Aira-sama in my right and, Imari-sama in my left, and Oniisama at my back! Hah-!? Could this be that situation that’s all the rage in shoujo manga? The so-called reverse harem situation!?99Please respect copyright.PENANA69pXHtMg34
Aahh, my spring has finally…
Momozono Imari-sama has been Oniisama’s friend since primary, and is a splendid person that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting a few times.99Please respect copyright.PENANAxzI4hrSYdi
The truth is, Imari-sama is actually the one who gave me the idea for the small bouquets.99Please respect copyright.PENANAESDk4QTZYL
When Imari-sama comes over to play, he always gives me (his friend’s little sister) a small and cute bouquet, and a few sweets and the like.99Please respect copyright.PENANAqt0mBFBqgn
As for the sweets, they’re things like honey in a beautiful jar, or a box of assorted flower-shaped chocolates; just things that a girl would very likely appreciate.99Please respect copyright.PENANAO1ku6uJS3b
Even though he shouldn’t have any sisters, at 11th grade he’s already splendid at dealing with girls, and really seems like the type that trouble will follow.99Please respect copyright.PENANAlnqvZHDQd9
But he always gives me lots of stuff.99Please respect copyright.PENANAGHpgzwOzV8
Of course, I do like Imari-sama who’s both kind and somewhat dangerous, you know? Women prefer men with a little danger over a plainly kind and no-risk guy. That’s why I think that in the future, Imari-sama will become an enemy of womankind, and honestly I’m quite looking forw-, …quite worried about him.
Anyway, Imari-sama is a different kind of ikemen to Oniisama.99Please respect copyright.PENANA0ahMbzmsy5
It’s the same with Enjou and Kaburagi too, but why do hot guys always seem to be friends with other hot guys?99Please respect copyright.PENANA8kpTy0H6hQ
Speaking of which, I wonder who Akizawa-kun is good friends with…99Please respect copyright.PENANA3IP8O16fZ1
………………99Please respect copyright.PENANAydQUH6F4uP
…I think I’d better stop playing innocent while thinking about these no-good ideas.99Please respect copyright.PENANA6KrVm1ajq3
I mean, Akizawa-kun has big round eyes, and is cute in his own way too, isn’t he.99Please respect copyright.PENANAWEviUn2Dxo
I love your friendly face, Akizawa-kun!99Please respect copyright.PENANAOVrwD1Smn5
When I asked Aira-sama whether it was okay for the two of them to come, she happily agreed.99Please respect copyright.PENANA6oFQgA4Xq0
The place we’re going is the most popular amusement park in Japan.99Please respect copyright.PENANATm27E6biet
I wonder if everybody will be willing to wear animal-ear headbands with me.99Please respect copyright.PENANAiw4s5euWSv
Oniisama seems like he’d definitely hate it.99Please respect copyright.PENANAv23lThrHG9
We’re going on a weekday, but it’ll probably be really packed, huhh… I’d better eat and sleep well so I’m in peak condition for the day.99Please respect copyright.PENANAaI16DLo4hi
Just a little bit longer until my bewitching reverse-harem date!99Please respect copyright.PENANA5LitlUZKcw
By the way, according to my Aira-sama Intelligence, Kaburagi and Yurie-sama’s school anniversary date (at least that’s what he thinks of it) went splendidly without a hitch.99Please respect copyright.PENANAq5ppFdCUK2
They went to a museum.99Please respect copyright.PENANAb2Q5YJGLxp
I wouldn’t expect any less.
