Apparently Ririna completely ignored my warning, and continued trying to get close to Kaburagi. But apparently the upperclassmen girls were like a wall and things didn’t go as she wanted.89Please respect copyright.PENANAt6kN3IcRyD
Anyway, thanks to that, I lost my composure and spoke to a first year Pivoine girl in Ririna’s class.89Please respect copyright.PENANAYNQEaX7b3g
When I asked her,
“Is Ririna causing you trouble?” she answered, “Not at all,” but expression told a completely different story. So I told her “I’m so sorry. I will speak to her later,” and apologised.89Please respect copyright.PENANAWTzsoN60qF
The girl was flustered that I was apologising to her, but I asked her to immediately tell me if Ririna was causing problems. Anyway, if she’s doing crazy stuff where I can’t see her, I need to know.
Once time when I was heading to the salon, she ambushed me and pestered me to take her along. I told her that I couldn’t but she wouldn’t listen. Thankfully, Aira-sama happened to be walking past, and she gently persuaded her.89Please respect copyright.PENANASv7Q5eh7LP
Later on she called me and asked, “Who was that wonderful person!?”89Please respect copyright.PENANA1lmleMtH2A
In the end, I heard from her that her mother was originally a Pivoine member, and as a child she talked to her about it. She claimed that if she lived close to the primary school, she would “Definitely have gotten in!”89Please respect copyright.PENANAuAR3x3VcUD
But well, even if she told me that, the reality was that she entered as an External from middle school, so she was disqualified from it. The rules are the rules.89Please respect copyright.PENANAYuW46esYVe
Apparently her conceit is coming from the misconception that she’s actually Pivoine as well.89Please respect copyright.PENANA1FqY7OCXo1
What an idiot.89Please respect copyright.PENANAn3CKMQCvAf
Later, Tsuruhana-san told me sarcastically, “What a cute cousin you have.” I couldn’t find anything to say.89Please respect copyright.PENANAkC9gYKHPDn
I think my stress is hitting its peak.89Please respect copyright.PENANAve5B4j7lAy
And so, I’ve come to a fast food place.89Please respect copyright.PENANAfxj9z4ERz9
I haven’t entered before out of fear that somebody would see me, but I don’t care anymore.89Please respect copyright.PENANAVrnNNbZ5wB
With all my stress, I have to eat, or else!89Please respect copyright.PENANAC3Sctz9rz3
I ordered my first fast food since being born in this world with a pounding heart. I asked for a cheeseburger, and a large chips. For my drink, I went with oolong tea.89Please respect copyright.PENANAbMkjL3r59t
Just in case, I sat in the corner. And I felt a little out of place too.89Please respect copyright.PENANAwo3ZsjLEAY
I took a bite of my cheeseburger. Uwah, so nostalgic! I remember this taste!89Please respect copyright.PENANAhDQYLeRhuh
A ketchup covered meat patty, with pickles, onion and cheese! What a cheap taste!89Please respect copyright.PENANAtw2b57Biza
Maybe because I’m always eating good food, I was a little shocked at how it tasted even cheaper than I remembered, but I guess that’s fast food for you.89Please respect copyright.PENANA0Mkc6LG8qK
The chips are so yummyy. There’s heaps of ketchup too.89Please respect copyright.PENANAmM0K2bs6Ci
It felt like the more I filled my stomach, the more the stress melted away. Hahh, I’m so glad I came.89Please respect copyright.PENANAR9bMkb3XxW
But I wonder what I should do about Ririna.89Please respect copyright.PENANAA8MBvJZ1SN
Thinking about it carefully, she has similar tastes in men to me.89Please respect copyright.PENANA0YPVfk3rnM
We love Oniisama, but then as a romantic partner, we go for the complete opposites to him, Tomoe-senpai and Kaburagi. We admire Aira-sama as well. Uwahh, I really don’t wanna be similar to her.89Please respect copyright.PENANAiULhGIpnZQ
But then I used to loiter about Tomoe-senpai as well, didn’t I.89Please respect copyright.PENANArFOzDoA5jH
Earlier, I apologised to Aira-sama. She gently consoled me, telling me “You have it rough, don’t you, Reika-chan. If there’s anything I can do to help, just tell me,” but I absolutely couldn’t bring myself to trouble her like that.89Please respect copyright.PENANAxOnhGfUT0t
As for Kaburagi, I’m so scared that I can’t look him in the eye anymore. Just imagining how angry he must be gives me the shakes. But I guess maybe I really should gather my courage and apologise once?89Please respect copyright.PENANAGpc0KhgwZJ
Aahh~ Why did that girl have to make it into Zui’ran?89Please respect copyright.PENANAuO90FXW38e
I gulped down the watery tea.89Please respect copyright.PENANAxLDrIENuG3
Maybe because of what Aira-sama said, Ririna didn’t try and push her way into the salon anymore.89Please respect copyright.PENANABXS0nUoC5I
But she was still following Kaburagi as usual.89Please respect copyright.PENANASsyR51luWo
Even my group was starting to really frown. This is bad… At this rate, my position is in danger.89Please respect copyright.PENANAtzx4Os61K1
When I said “I’m really sorry,” they said “It isn’t your fault, Reika-sama,” but I doubt they’ll be saying that forever.89Please respect copyright.PENANAQQdIaRwmIO
Lately, my stomach has been hurting often since 1st period.89Please respect copyright.PENANAjN2sHDT98O
I can’t go without stomach medicine. It hurts too much now.89Please respect copyright.PENANAsYvK7pjErK
Should I just flip out?89Please respect copyright.PENANAav2KOneo00
One day, Ririna finally angered Kaburagi.89Please respect copyright.PENANAU9RgFE96p7
While he was seeing Yurie-sama off, she tried to get close to the two and speak to them.89Please respect copyright.PENANASN75NvOmnV
It’s a rule amongst his followers that they should never approach Kaburagi when he’s with Yurie-sama, and especially not get in his way, but Ririna ignored it.89Please respect copyright.PENANAwCnfW0Zs9T
Kaburagi is fundamentally indifferent to the noisy girls around him. No matter what they do, he pays them no attention. But when it involves Yurie-sama, it’s a different matter.89Please respect copyright.PENANARywEFm3HQh
When it comes to those who interrupt his precious time with Yurie-sama, he takes off the mask of indifference he usually wears, and shows his emotions.89Please respect copyright.PENANABwDisSzWjV
It’s because they know this that the girls around him will never approach him at these times.89Please respect copyright.PENANAkHy6ATBE0h
But did Ririna not know that? Since the other nuisances weren’t here this time, she ran over to Kaburagi like it was her chance, just as he was trying to get into a car.89Please respect copyright.PENANAnwrVt5FqJj
And even though Yurie-sama needed to go to prep school, she ignored the atmosphere and tried to hold them back, so Kaburagi snapped.89Please respect copyright.PENANApxeyRvBdHz
He shouted “Cut it out! Never come near me again!” and left Ririna standing there, before riding off with Yurie-sama trying to calm him down.89Please respect copyright.PENANAH4fRQNi5Eg
When I heard all this from Ririna on the phone, I felt dizzy. What the heck had she done…89Please respect copyright.PENANAU26l6YI75g
She asked me to do something about it, but what can I possibly do.89Please respect copyright.PENANAyMLT3vpZ9U
The person himself said not to come near him, so I warned her to learn from her mistake and just give up, but apparently she hadn’t given up yet.89Please respect copyright.PENANA04lfPQ3UA3
Somebody save me.89Please respect copyright.PENANAqfQPIAE5xW
The rumour that Ririna angered him spread in an instant, and I was having trouble keeping my chest high anymore.89Please respect copyright.PENANALcozZydhWS
Sometimes there are girls that anger him by kicking up too much of a fuss, and it never becomes too big of a deal though.89Please respect copyright.PENANAHem7CKBole
Still, the stares from Tsuruhana-san’s group are really uncomfortable.
When I went to the Pivoine, I found Kaburagi and Enjou there, so I braced myself and went to apologise.
“It seems that my cousin caused you problems yesterday. I am truly sorry.”
I said, and bowed.89Please respect copyright.PENANAowwTakYToJ
There were other people in the salon, but it wasn’t the time to worry about how I looked.89Please respect copyright.PENANAdLhL9WSxrr
After staying quiet for a while, Kaburagi gave a huge sigh and said,
“It’s fine.”
Really?
“It’s not really your fault or anything.”
“But she is my cousin.”
“Then do something about it.”
“I have been trying to do something about it, but…”
“You’re pretty useless.”
Kaburagi chuckled at me.89Please respect copyright.PENANAcnLe1Dk9K9
It looks like he’s not angry anymore. Thank goodness.89Please respect copyright.PENANAArRNHO8yXT
Feeling relieved, just as I was thinking that I would help myself to some tea, somebody dropped the bombshell,
“Your cousin is here looking for you.”
I headed for the hallway in a panic and found Ririna talking about wanting to directly apologise, and asking me to get him to meet her.89Please respect copyright.PENANAOutkql9pBt
Just how stupid is this girl!?89Please respect copyright.PENANAUmRM3SrTuK
Anyway, even when I told her to leave, she just dragged things out and kept talking.89Please respect copyright.PENANA1BiWLAe4yu
After we continued that countless times, the door to the salon opened, and Enjou appeared.
“Hey, you should really cut this out already. If you anger Masaya any more than this, I don’t know what’ll happen to you, okay? I bet you don’t know that your cousin, Kisshouin-san, has been lowering her head to various people for your sake. After all, if you did, you wouldn’t be doing something so shameless, right? The reason that you’re still fine after making so many enemies out of the upperclassmen is because Kisshouin-san has been doing nothing but apologising for your sake. It’s because Masaya knows this that he’s stayed quiet all this time. But even that’s coming to an end.”
Enjou pierced Ririna with a cold gaze.89Please respect copyright.PENANASOfkBbSYXP
When a normally gentle person turns angry, it’s really, really scary.89Please respect copyright.PENANAFU2zqFzooO
Speaking of which, the manga Enjou got angry like this a few times too, when it came to Kisshouin Reika.89Please respect copyright.PENANA3LWUl4eV5F
Ririna turned bright red, and then ran off like she was escaping.89Please respect copyright.PENANAeLSF1DGjBt
At least say goodbye, dammit.
“Umm, I am truly sorry for this. I even bothered you, Enjou-sama.”
“She was bothering us as well. I thought it was about time to do something.”
“Is that so.”
Ririna, you were really on the brink, you know.
“But Kisshouin-san, this means that you owe me one.”
“Heh?”
“It can’t be that you thought I was helping you for free? You’re really naïve, huh.”
Enjou gave a sweet smile and before he headed back in, he left me the words,
“I’ll be collecting my debt one day, so don’t forget, okay?”
EEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?
