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.99Please respect copyright.PENANA1jU1hJJVg4
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.99Please respect copyright.PENANAQyO2NcYGqa
I heard from Aira-sama that Yurie-sama was spending more time around him out of consideration.99Please respect copyright.PENANAvUieSOAkjK
Still, on days when Yurie-sama is too busy to come, Kaburagi just sighs as he looks out the window.99Please respect copyright.PENANA3TUqNsZETE
I wonder if he’s going to start writing poems again. Maybe I should teach him flower divination.99Please respect copyright.PENANAta5dhBgctg
Ah, and I also know a good matchmaker shrine, okay? The fortunes are really accurate. You should go too, Kaburagi-sama.99Please respect copyright.PENANAagL7e5AcFS
Speaking of poems, Class Rep made no progress at all despite his daring show of his love.99Please respect copyright.PENANAjRQKb9VG5T
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.99Please respect copyright.PENANAGpAwbnMlou
I really don’t get how this guy’s criteria for embarrassment…99Please respect copyright.PENANARy8BFZoYSv
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.99Please respect copyright.PENANADsXFW8JLv2
Apparently he actually wanted Miharu-chan to realise his feelings through that poem.99Please respect copyright.PENANA0JpZYNju0y
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!99Please respect copyright.PENANACyRGaMycQw
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.99Please respect copyright.PENANAZuW589QuTu
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.99Please respect copyright.PENANA9WBh65NmzD
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.99Please respect copyright.PENANAcECtwfKNjc
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?99Please respect copyright.PENANAkt31dFx3dD
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.99Please respect copyright.PENANAMLNUQPIPPs
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.99Please respect copyright.PENANAfGKwl3Zx8h
Miharu-chan looked at me with understanding and nodded, “Try your best next year, okay?” in a completely unnecessary consolation.99Please respect copyright.PENANA9zm6pl0IAP
How are you going to take responsibility for this, Class Rep!99Please respect copyright.PENANAdPrSDAgoLA
And now Miharu-chan thinks I like someone!99Please respect copyright.PENANAMSWmY0cAnu
As for Class Rep, he was incredibly moved when I passed her White Day present onto him.99Please respect copyright.PENANAyI2YVGsQPH
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.99Please respect copyright.PENANA9CU8Ept2fb
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!99Please respect copyright.PENANAukir0sH1tU
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.99Please respect copyright.PENANAl6fqFOKXVm
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.99Please respect copyright.PENANA4hUM6RK3fi
Dyed hair is basically banned. But well, I hear some girls secretly use just a tiny bit so that it looks natural.99Please respect copyright.PENANAUeaExkb4c8
And I’ve got my curled hair too.99Please respect copyright.PENANAVPMgBBmWuO
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?99Please respect copyright.PENANAOkOeNsx4Y2
Or perhaps, surprisingly, she pierced them herself.99Please respect copyright.PENANAtFenmVhfXG
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.99Please respect copyright.PENANAY4yHTBdyc4
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.99Please respect copyright.PENANA5VA10ysuNW
Serika-chan and the others began a sneaky discussion about whether or not to tattle on them.99Please respect copyright.PENANAmSe2ZHvLlc
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.99Please respect copyright.PENANAi7VITbogbO
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.99Please respect copyright.PENANAMyDEH3ObG6
While all this was happening, I heard that Kaburagi attended the high school graduation ceremony with lilies (yuri).99Please respect copyright.PENANAcmPlw5G8Sk
Class Rep, Kaburagi, why are all these guys turning into maidens? I was a little envious.99Please respect copyright.PENANAmyPI3tgbYU
But lilies, huh. Could it be that he saw the time Oniisama brought me uraras, and actually really liked it?99Please respect copyright.PENANAozfPOgLe1u
Actually, there was the time when he danced the waltz with Yurie-sama too.99Please respect copyright.PENANAVRjz9x9jGm
Leaving Oniisama aside, perhaps Kaburagi should become Imari-sama’s disciple or something.99Please respect copyright.PENANA8CNvk6zEAh
The other day, Imari-sama came over for the first time in the while, and he gave me some boxed flowers.99Please respect copyright.PENANApplpjY1SCn
Boxed preserved flowers. Super stylish. Great for Valentine’s and Christmas.
So stylish! As expected of Imari-sama!99Please respect copyright.PENANAD0Je6EUPNp
Kaburagi, apparently men can’t stick to just bouquets, like a one trick pony!99Please respect copyright.PENANAVn5Q2hiwo5
Around the time cherry blossoms began to fall in full bloom, we all advanced into third years.
