Spring came, and I entered Year 5.129Please respect copyright.PENANAjkpJoNiNUW
In 5th Grade, our classes change around.129Please respect copyright.PENANA7xGjkTdxUC
Perhaps my desperate prayers worked because I avoided the Kaburagi-Enjou duo again.129Please respect copyright.PENANApK7cOXDK9r
My own luckiness terrifies me.129Please respect copyright.PENANAQsQNsPS5DP
Given that we change class two times, I thought that I would end up in one of their classes at least once. There are only four classes each time after all.129Please respect copyright.PENANAmZQWeNQ5PK
But despite that, I won with a powerful draw!129Please respect copyright.PENANA9yyzl5eoXv
Aahh, with this, I’ll be able to spend my time peacefully until I graduate from primary.129Please respect copyright.PENANAZULUV4fLbS
Now that I was in Year 5, the number of my underclassmen continued to grow, and the number of Enjou and Kaburagi fans grew as well.129Please respect copyright.PENANA9rnFh48aFs
As for the girls in our grade, my two followers glare at the younger girls and say stuff like “I would really appreciate it if younger students knew their place, and stopped acting so friendly with Kaburagi-sama and Enjou-sama.”.129Please respect copyright.PENANA7o0lgQ5BsQ
Not only that, girls in the same classes as those two had their guards particularly high. Even when some brave underclassman gains the courage to stand outside their class to watch, those girls never let them close. Truly an impenetrable defence.129Please respect copyright.PENANADm4h77OMgd
When I watch all those girls, I start to want to scream ‘Don’t be fooled by their appearances!’.129Please respect copyright.PENANAI5tFRG5sDx
Fukioka-san started attending cram school.129Please respect copyright.PENANAY80azYs1og
Even though Akizawa-kun was supposed to have fully explained things, as I thought, she still hadn’t cleared all her misgivings about me.129Please respect copyright.PENANAYiXxvKXaFe
The girl her self is from an all-girl’s school, so I suppose it can’t be helped that she worries about Akizawa-kun going to a co-ed. It would be better if he was at least in an all-boy’s school, huh?
“Sakurako. Kisshouin-san is the one that suggested you come to cram school, okay? Get along with her.”
“…Good afternoon. Um, thank you for inviting me.”
While quietly holding onto Akizawa-kun’s sleeve, she greeted me.129Please respect copyright.PENANAgNaRoMDD4R
Mmmmmn. A Japanese-style bishoujo. And with a cuteness that makes you want to protect her, I see.
“Thank you for coming. Isn’t it wonderful that you can spend more time with your beloved Akizawa-kun?”
“Eh-?”
“Hey-, Kisshouin-san!”
Fujioka-san flushed red at my words, but Akizawa-kun flew into a panic.
Give it up already, Akizawa-kun. Being a kind person like you, it’s already impossible for you to escape from her.129Please respect copyright.PENANAtvgFXGDQIL
If your cute Childhood Friend-chan starts crying in front of you, I doubt you’d be able to leave her.129Please respect copyright.PENANA4ClSYNOpXN
To begin with, as a fellow girl, it seems to be as though the types that boys like to protect are actually the most stubborn and firm ones, aren’t they.129Please respect copyright.PENANAbONunfQG65
Although almost none of the boys ever realise it, huh?129Please respect copyright.PENANAEuaH5ZAPfB
Just how many times in my old life had I been used and betrayed by those types…?129Please respect copyright.PENANA9uJfXyCZIj
No, it’s not like I’m saying Fukioka-san is like that, okay?129Please respect copyright.PENANA4csEsYLCmh
Ever since that first greeting on the first day, Akizawa-kun and Fukioka-san have been sitting together, and I’ve been by myself.129Please respect copyright.PENANA3jwpXwBLYz
Being the kind person that he is, Akizawa-kun invited me to sit with them, but Fukioka-san looked unhappy about that, so I decided to pass on it. I don’t have a hobby of interfering with other people’s romances, okay?129Please respect copyright.PENANAlQ0VoPC1on
And so, for the first time in a while, I went to the convenience store.129Please respect copyright.PENANA18Y09J73VB
There were new sweets out, so I bought them to try. And while I was at it, I wanted the taste of the plebs, so I bought a nattou roll as well.129Please respect copyright.PENANAVxPX1un797
Quite a good haul.
It was about time to head back to class, so I had decided to go to the bathroom when I suddenly heard the sounds of girls gossipping.
“Drill Hair got her boyfriend stolen by the new girl, didn’t she?”
“Yeah, yeah. She got dumped, and now she’s all alone.”
“The poor thing~ Isn’t it tough to go to the same class as your ex and his new girlfriend?”
“Right?”
“She’s probably too proud to quit.”
“Well yeah, Drill Hair looks like the proud type.”
“She’s a Zui’ran kid after all~ And she’s even got drill hair, so.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAY4HjC6Nwk2
──What the!?
It looks like that’s how everybody else interpreted what happened.129Please respect copyright.PENANA4ODXDLwMVy
What completely off-base accusations.
And what’s more, they actually all call me ‘Drill Hair’…?129Please respect copyright.PENANA5mRwWin2G3
‘Drill Hair’… At least call me Rococo or Antoinette or something.129Please respect copyright.PENANAV6BEFjUGYF
Doesn’t ‘drill hair'(JP: vertical roll) sound like the name of some sort of bread?129Please respect copyright.PENANAmktHLL5HJy
Uwahh, I’m getting depressed.129Please respect copyright.PENANAWVjy0cH07S
I’m not a proud type, you know? I do have drill hair though…
If we’re talking about the Kisshouin Reika in the manga, then she absolutely wouldn’t allow such a rumour, but I don’t have any of the courage needed to march up to them and complain, so I just walked right past the bathroom and went back to class.129Please respect copyright.PENANAtke4dhtaOt
When I got home, I binged in stress.129Please respect copyright.PENANAqx1Mpjy8wZ
There’s one other thing I should mention about cram school.129Please respect copyright.PENANAZ16pNBaTkq
Up until now, I’ve only been attending classes for Japanese and maths.129Please respect copyright.PENANAUKL3AWyuaf
But my grades in science and social studies are starting to become dangerous, so this year I’m attending those classes for cram school as well.129Please respect copyright.PENANA7pcRpHbKxj
The truth is, I’ve actually been suspicious about these last few years of science and social studies.129Please respect copyright.PENANAVwM2kuMcee
When I’m in class, the content makes me wonder if I really actually did this stuff in primary school. Well, of course I probably did. I guess I just totally forgot.129Please respect copyright.PENANA3ri8FlA7bb
Basically the only thing I remember about science in primary was playing around with magnets and iron sand. Even Orion is basically the only constellation I remember.
Useless…
As for social studies, the merging of cities and towns has been really intense, and the names that come up are all places I’ve never heard of. I don’t know much about the regional specialties of Japan either. Far from it, I don’t even know what prefectures are in the San’in region.129Please respect copyright.PENANAsWQAUQGc2j
I have nooo idea about the names of rivers. I can’ttt remember the names of fields.129Please respect copyright.PENANAysyGoTsFEK
I have no advantage at all over the other kids.
I’ve completely lost all academic advantage from my previous life…
Useless… Old Me, you’re useless!129Please respect copyright.PENANA45TpfkMk6S
It’s because you did nothing but relax with sweets everyday as you giggled to yourself reading shoujo manga, you brain-rotten idiot!129Please respect copyright.PENANAljtAsNc21p
Even though you remember all this useless stuff, you forgot everything you learnt at school!129Please respect copyright.PENANAmRdjNQqLFM
If that brain of yours is only going to remember fujoshi crap like how Tokugawa Iemitsu was a h*mo, then just have some dignity and forget everything to begin with!
So far I’ve somehow managed by studying by myself and getting Oniisama to tutor me, but the classes are getting harder, and Oniisama is busy with his own studies, which is why I decided to go to cram school for those subjects too.129Please respect copyright.PENANABpZVGjrVPN
In my new science and social studies classes, there were a few boys from Zui’ran. But none of them spoke to me like Akizawa-kun did.129Please respect copyright.PENANAlVqD8lK1QU
Although they seem to be glancing my way for some reason.129Please respect copyright.PENANAslWDnSBIyY
Hmph. I bet they’re afraid of my drill hair.
Thinking about it like this, Akizawa-kun was pretty precious.129Please respect copyright.PENANAt8TaaoMaZ2
I only realise it now that I’ve lost him. How blessed I was to have him.129Please respect copyright.PENANAOSuoWF4BCN
That feels nostalgic to me now.
I’ve been feeling a little sentimental these days.
