After I retired from spying, I had almost no contact with those two, and spent my days in peace.91Please respect copyright.PENANAUkl4t4HbRT
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANAY0Ps8rWLCG
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANAMlkCQYapPP
No, no, we’re not close, I said.91Please respect copyright.PENANAyd35ClwF2r
Since then, we’ve almost never spoken, so please don’t look at me with those expectant eyes.91Please respect copyright.PENANAcnDsE2ToSS
As for Aira-sama, since then we’ve continued to message each other once in a while. What an extravagant mail buddy!91Please respect copyright.PENANAHxXWOiauX7
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANAMXJNDw32kL
With a letter written with all of Kaburagi’s heart, and a cute bouquet arriving every day, Yurie-sama folded pretty quickly.91Please respect copyright.PENANAwNHH8DG1dA
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANAdlJh5iVPQc
It looks like he properly followed my advice.91Please respect copyright.PENANAlAcbr22vyc
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANAzbfK0IVFvO
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANASsBnZrOHcd
Could it be that he saw my waltz with Oniisama and longed for the same thing?91Please respect copyright.PENANAQJIjNSg6vh
That he hoped that he could do it one day as well?91Please respect copyright.PENANA5vi996zaFl
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANAZehZyYKIWY
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANAVjXMheLZy4
All the Ojousamas were entranced by it.91Please respect copyright.PENANAzRm3o7q6YJ
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANAsee4CHD5tk
It seems like he’s training himself each day to become more suitable for the older Yurie.91Please respect copyright.PENANAyd5dufbVOV
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANAvQOKGNsqhm
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANAcwnJhy0N8r
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!91Please respect copyright.PENANAly8XEtZyYa
Aahh, oh my goodness!91Please respect copyright.PENANAqxLZ5oJzYS
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANAZrXWaGTphJ
She even added a ribbon to the back of my head, and I looked like a fake Rococo Queen. [←Mary Antoinette]91Please respect copyright.PENANAgx32hOXA8i
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?91Please respect copyright.PENANA0MboxtpDNr
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!91Please respect copyright.PENANA9CdgLOHg4Y
Not just Aira-sama, but Oniisama and Imari-sama as well!91Please respect copyright.PENANA7VwnxxFIvc
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!?91Please respect copyright.PENANATk7qBlpsHV
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANAbbWdl6ckZ7
The truth is, Imari-sama is actually the one who gave me the idea for the small bouquets.91Please respect copyright.PENANAyd04mGweMc
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANAAzzUqnbCR0
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANAyaEU1xayXF
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANAHzI3IRPlFu
But he always gives me lots of stuff.91Please respect copyright.PENANAGpSOhMqM6d
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANAZw1d6wqCFn
It’s the same with Enjou and Kaburagi too, but why do hot guys always seem to be friends with other hot guys?91Please respect copyright.PENANApXfvqHRzFK
Speaking of which, I wonder who Akizawa-kun is good friends with…91Please respect copyright.PENANA7NG0o0z2uM
………………91Please respect copyright.PENANApi5zK8g4AQ
…I think I’d better stop playing innocent while thinking about these no-good ideas.91Please respect copyright.PENANAdNQrZ8u5I4
I mean, Akizawa-kun has big round eyes, and is cute in his own way too, isn’t he.91Please respect copyright.PENANAR8KLqyBVsB
I love your friendly face, Akizawa-kun!91Please respect copyright.PENANASbkodFGIPJ
When I asked Aira-sama whether it was okay for the two of them to come, she happily agreed.91Please respect copyright.PENANAYyJzkr9pRG
The place we’re going is the most popular amusement park in Japan.91Please respect copyright.PENANAXpJpZ8SlM5
I wonder if everybody will be willing to wear animal-ear headbands with me.91Please respect copyright.PENANAC2kZmOdIWu
Oniisama seems like he’d definitely hate it.91Please respect copyright.PENANA3xFq1725je
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANA7alTD2J3JD
Just a little bit longer until my bewitching reverse-harem date!91Please respect copyright.PENANAkJxVFhJS33
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.91Please respect copyright.PENANAyKVvgl7aRO
They went to a museum.91Please respect copyright.PENANAwYfj77qpxG
I wouldn’t expect any less.
