After I retired from spying, I had almost no contact with those two, and spent my days in peace.94Please respect copyright.PENANARSpBbqDHpM
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAcj4lbesfzD
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANApl7D80pabP
No, no, we’re not close, I said.94Please respect copyright.PENANAidRxA5bIvo
Since then, we’ve almost never spoken, so please don’t look at me with those expectant eyes.94Please respect copyright.PENANAPejqc5x5hl
As for Aira-sama, since then we’ve continued to message each other once in a while. What an extravagant mail buddy!94Please respect copyright.PENANAMuIpvbVafg
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAaddIkK14RP
With a letter written with all of Kaburagi’s heart, and a cute bouquet arriving every day, Yurie-sama folded pretty quickly.94Please respect copyright.PENANAuI0Mrv8hGv
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANADazN9y7V7o
It looks like he properly followed my advice.94Please respect copyright.PENANAG2EqtAaXhc
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANApf5wjkwLaf
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANA72AtBoYuaF
Could it be that he saw my waltz with Oniisama and longed for the same thing?94Please respect copyright.PENANAvu66Gzd9Pg
That he hoped that he could do it one day as well?94Please respect copyright.PENANAJePuc6GcZ8
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAnZYEuyLqXN
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANALDFQZZFtVt
All the Ojousamas were entranced by it.94Please respect copyright.PENANAjCkBLLyzox
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAd6tchUAELr
It seems like he’s training himself each day to become more suitable for the older Yurie.94Please respect copyright.PENANAu2TxeWqlRG
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAnHF8SNhEIc
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAMDoqycbzdY
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!94Please respect copyright.PENANAmpkrLXvWX2
Aahh, oh my goodness!94Please respect copyright.PENANAG1sgh4Aic1
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAMNrLeahGEs
She even added a ribbon to the back of my head, and I looked like a fake Rococo Queen. [←Mary Antoinette]94Please respect copyright.PENANAwbJZYmefVY
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?94Please respect copyright.PENANAxsUsRpZ152
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!94Please respect copyright.PENANA6wQ6WJG67Z
Not just Aira-sama, but Oniisama and Imari-sama as well!94Please respect copyright.PENANASlHrYd1DDU
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!?94Please respect copyright.PENANAL1joTTrEzv
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAoaFaxYbK6f
The truth is, Imari-sama is actually the one who gave me the idea for the small bouquets.94Please respect copyright.PENANA3YwZv7uomS
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAZiIHtmkWOQ
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAGTsqsU9Hl2
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAwlvMv2pZjO
But he always gives me lots of stuff.94Please respect copyright.PENANA9Yzw5avjGm
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAwMCJNrGPcp
It’s the same with Enjou and Kaburagi too, but why do hot guys always seem to be friends with other hot guys?94Please respect copyright.PENANAyyvTxkrltm
Speaking of which, I wonder who Akizawa-kun is good friends with…94Please respect copyright.PENANAGmsVfv37lZ
………………94Please respect copyright.PENANABkFsIMSYTo
…I think I’d better stop playing innocent while thinking about these no-good ideas.94Please respect copyright.PENANAlFoz87el9H
I mean, Akizawa-kun has big round eyes, and is cute in his own way too, isn’t he.94Please respect copyright.PENANAnjAAhBNyf4
I love your friendly face, Akizawa-kun!94Please respect copyright.PENANAbfbPssQUN6
When I asked Aira-sama whether it was okay for the two of them to come, she happily agreed.94Please respect copyright.PENANApF0wC9BA8d
The place we’re going is the most popular amusement park in Japan.94Please respect copyright.PENANAs6FU2k2rHo
I wonder if everybody will be willing to wear animal-ear headbands with me.94Please respect copyright.PENANAIW3ZpJgMy9
Oniisama seems like he’d definitely hate it.94Please respect copyright.PENANAUby7hua2Cc
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAt2YyRUigtC
Just a little bit longer until my bewitching reverse-harem date!94Please respect copyright.PENANAs771bAEuRK
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAwJuwRxL6jE
They went to a museum.94Please respect copyright.PENANA8TzqhpaAFk
I wouldn’t expect any less.
