After I retired from spying, I had almost no contact with those two, and spent my days in peace.89Please respect copyright.PENANAMEiGXu13tN
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAxJNTydirX0
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAFzoRkKrheZ
No, no, we’re not close, I said.89Please respect copyright.PENANAfz0A7mANdm
Since then, we’ve almost never spoken, so please don’t look at me with those expectant eyes.89Please respect copyright.PENANAAotIsn9lmG
As for Aira-sama, since then we’ve continued to message each other once in a while. What an extravagant mail buddy!89Please respect copyright.PENANAzx6d4Emnwm
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAtB6WuTMGT7
With a letter written with all of Kaburagi’s heart, and a cute bouquet arriving every day, Yurie-sama folded pretty quickly.89Please respect copyright.PENANAgFqzYYPuPy
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAqg8ydFJeQE
It looks like he properly followed my advice.89Please respect copyright.PENANAZHfTrnqktQ
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAeZdgWlqXBp
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAuuSP7shA5k
Could it be that he saw my waltz with Oniisama and longed for the same thing?89Please respect copyright.PENANAexPXTf1EaO
That he hoped that he could do it one day as well?89Please respect copyright.PENANAfASYqXKwkS
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAghl87Bhwrs
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANATLv1MbQY6Y
All the Ojousamas were entranced by it.89Please respect copyright.PENANAYeKYeXdnSu
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANARYmrwC2Jyq
It seems like he’s training himself each day to become more suitable for the older Yurie.89Please respect copyright.PENANAajN5NwnX5c
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANARr8a02SBVg
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAC6Q7Lo0kdY
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!89Please respect copyright.PENANAqubjzVRzWp
Aahh, oh my goodness!89Please respect copyright.PENANA9CLiTXtaEa
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAzEuJlzXTXO
She even added a ribbon to the back of my head, and I looked like a fake Rococo Queen. [←Mary Antoinette]89Please respect copyright.PENANAbE042Cxpkk
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?89Please respect copyright.PENANAI8HLCq28QX
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!89Please respect copyright.PENANAb3fL2nHPr8
Not just Aira-sama, but Oniisama and Imari-sama as well!89Please respect copyright.PENANAlUWtFuNPGn
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!?89Please respect copyright.PENANA3ktjdZ0icE
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAk5iE5FyBWG
The truth is, Imari-sama is actually the one who gave me the idea for the small bouquets.89Please respect copyright.PENANAg7SEImVrV1
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANA1NaMxxLhTM
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAWuGgIuH1bg
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAifrZS5hQpm
But he always gives me lots of stuff.89Please respect copyright.PENANAeFsUq0PXso
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAmKib0ZqInp
It’s the same with Enjou and Kaburagi too, but why do hot guys always seem to be friends with other hot guys?89Please respect copyright.PENANAuujEUEU2Gv
Speaking of which, I wonder who Akizawa-kun is good friends with…89Please respect copyright.PENANA81dRdeS3Pz
………………89Please respect copyright.PENANAxoMXMOgH2Z
…I think I’d better stop playing innocent while thinking about these no-good ideas.89Please respect copyright.PENANAoHH9Xzzp4B
I mean, Akizawa-kun has big round eyes, and is cute in his own way too, isn’t he.89Please respect copyright.PENANAq3QMlJEu3o
I love your friendly face, Akizawa-kun!89Please respect copyright.PENANAocqmdhcl8r
When I asked Aira-sama whether it was okay for the two of them to come, she happily agreed.89Please respect copyright.PENANAN49ANe6CGr
The place we’re going is the most popular amusement park in Japan.89Please respect copyright.PENANAxbmfD9osOa
I wonder if everybody will be willing to wear animal-ear headbands with me.89Please respect copyright.PENANA5W46pSFcbJ
Oniisama seems like he’d definitely hate it.89Please respect copyright.PENANAOlkn1PnRnS
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANAq3oNx9xzcv
Just a little bit longer until my bewitching reverse-harem date!89Please respect copyright.PENANAYf64kwEAG2
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.89Please respect copyright.PENANA7kDi9KCqjL
They went to a museum.89Please respect copyright.PENANAwhzwQGUx57
I wouldn’t expect any less.
