Ever since people started calling him Emperor, Kaburagi’s popularity rose again.125Please respect copyright.PENANAX1HfcL4awC
Because of his achievements during the cavalry battle, it seems that his adherents amongst the boys have gone up. Particularly amongst the underclassmen.125Please respect copyright.PENANATi8O0FC1zE
Amongst all the clamour, apparently the boys who served as The Emperor’s Horse were boasting about doing so.125Please respect copyright.PENANAaUfG0sGW2F
I can’t say I understand how they feel, but as long as the people themselves are happy, then it’s fine I guess.125Please respect copyright.PENANAZV1vvKuqAX
Emperor’s fame wasn’t contained to the primary school section either. Apparently the stories went as far as the middle school, and I got a mail from Aira-sama reading ‘Apparently Masaya is being called ‘Emperor’ now, isn’t he.’.125Please respect copyright.PENANA9P8O9izBIr
When particularly excited kids called him ‘Emperor’ to his face though, he would look at them with an icy gaze. So in the end, everybody had a tacit agreement that ‘Emperor’ would just be an informal nickname, and would never be used in front of him.125Please respect copyright.PENANAi9jvQFqzdV
I think Emperor made the right choice. If he got on board with it like ‘I am the Emperor!’ then it would definitely turn into dark history and the source of future cringing.125Please respect copyright.PENANAXMOaSme7qC
Just to be safe, I mailed Aira-sama with ‘It appears that the person himself has not authorised the nickname, so please take care.’.
But man, to think that the nickname ‘Emperor’ actually came from Napoleon.125Please respect copyright.PENANAdiZMmFcT9x
As the fake Rococo Queen, he really has terrible compatibility with me.125Please respect copyright.PENANAjO3uk2IZAZ
In 『you are my dolce』 he had always been called Emperor like it was natural, so I never really paid it much mind. I thought for sure that it was because he ruled over the school like a monarch.125Please respect copyright.PENANAGcup2WAHR5
But to think that it was an old nickname from primary school.125Please respect copyright.PENANANxvvMtSIeB
And what’s more, the reason it came about was a children’s cavalry battle… If it got explained to you once he was already an adult, wouldn’t it sound pretty stupid? Upfffpftt-!125Please respect copyright.PENANA9M5RefNZGF
Incidentally, I should note that my Drill Hair nickname is completely unauthorised. Rather than a nickname, that’s more like an insult after all.125Please respect copyright.PENANA640s4Z8sqr
Anyhow, unrelated to my personal opinions on it, the girls around me were completely in love with the ‘Emperor’ nickname.
“Isn’t it truly a fitting nickname for Kaburagi-sama?”
“To our class, he was like a conquering hero from the legends~”
“He was so cool during the cavalry battle~”
“Hahh~ Emperor is so dreamy…”
A refreshing breeze blew in from the window. Autumn really is the most relaxing season~125Please respect copyright.PENANAIKOOvqEu8Y
With my tummy also filled with food from lunch, I’m starting to feel sleepy.
“Don’t you think so too, Reika-sama?”
“Eh-?”
Think what? Er, I wasn’t listening at all.
“Reika-sama, you also think that Emperor is cool, don’t you?”
“Y-, Yes, well, yes.”
Can’t go against the majority.
“I knew it~”
All the girls around me nodded in agreement.125Please respect copyright.PENANAurfHESZsDZ
All of them like the same people, after all.
“I think Reika-sama would be well-matched with Emperor.”
Hah?
“Right. It’s frustrating, but if it was Reika-sama, I could accept it.”
“If some normal girl was paired with Emperor I definitely wouldn’t allow it, but Reika-sama has both the pedigree and refinement worthy of him.”
“But I still don’t want Kaburagi-sama to belong to anybody yet~”
“If it’s Reika-sama, I’ll definitely cheer for her.”
“Right. Reika-sama, try your best!”
…Hang on there. What’s with this sudden development?125Please respect copyright.PENANABnXW4feGlZ
To begin with, Kaburagi has Yurie-sama. Although it’s completely one-sided on his part…
“Everyone, are you not misunderstanding something?”
“My, what would that be?”
“I do not particularly desire to date Kaburagi-sama or anything as amazing as that. In the end, these are simply feelings of admiration. I would never dream of such a thing.”
Seriously, please stop with this!125Please respect copyright.PENANAV4rwkBe39R
It’s a matter of life and death for me, okay!?
“But, don’t you like Emperor too?”
“It is admiration. Simple admiration. Something quite different from love.”
The girls tilted their heads in confusion.
“Then, Enjou-sama? You were together in the executive committee, weren’t you?”
“My, so Reika-sama was actually in Team Enjou-sama. Oh my, you’re my rival then. But he really is so gentle and dreamy, isn’t he~ The other day when we bumped into each other, he asked me if I was okay and then smiled at me!”
“Hey, are you sure you didn’t bump into him on purpose?”
“I didn’t~!”
Sorry for breaking it to you while you’re all happy and stuff, but that’s also a misunderstanding!
“I do not hold any special feelings towards Enjou-sama. Although, naturally I admire him as you all do.”
“My, is that the case?”
“That is so.”
Need to say it clearly here.
“Then, just who on earth do you like, Reika-sama?”
“Eh- …nobody in particular.”
“Reika-sama, you don’t like anybody?”
“Well, no.”
“Nobody at all?”
“I do not think so, no.”
“Never ever?”
“Thus far, I do not suppose there has not been anybody like that, no.”
Yeah, my first love is still to come.
Everybody’s eyes turned pitying.
“So Reika-sama was actually still a child…”
GAAHHH…!! OTL125Please respect copyright.PENANANjfGtxhf30
I got called a child by a child!125Please respect copyright.PENANAazTEjbIkg8
What is this silent damage that I’m taking…?
I mean, there haven’t been any princes on white horses yet, so it can’t be helped, right!?125Please respect copyright.PENANAyVGxHc9XW5
My ideal is a calm, dreamy, gentle person who’ll laugh and forgive my selfishness.125Please respect copyright.PENANA0nqK445K1V
Overbearing types like Emperor from the manga are great for screaming ‘Kyaaa! Emperor, so dreamy~~’ when it’s just a manga, but in real life he just causes you trouble.125Please respect copyright.PENANAw2ZTPFiyRQ
I mean, come on. Barging in uninvited to the house of the girl you like? Who on earth does that. You just cause huge trouble for their family, or the neighbourhood, you know.125Please respect copyright.PENANAuE0RPU2WtX
And confessing in the middle of a crowded road? Mannn, no way, no way.125Please respect copyright.PENANAyjh5H4dFnB
Being forgiven for everything you do because you’re a hot guy? That’s only the case in manga. At least in my opinion.125Please respect copyright.PENANAvyAPWMEKQc
And so, in that sense, a logical and gentle person is best, hey?125Please respect copyright.PENANAq5TpdwWBri
Where can I find my ideal man, I wonder~125Please respect copyright.PENANARkRRIwXIHn
Huh?125Please respect copyright.PENANARqE1AL8paf
Isn’t he sitting at my house studying for his exams?
What do I do. Could it be that I really am a brocon…?125Please respect copyright.PENANA0gDMgZnEPE
Later after school, I, Reika the child, was called to the staff room.
“Kisshouin-san, could you join the executive committee for the Learning Presentation?”
“I decline.”
That thing is even harder than the Athletics Meet. Just who on earth would say yes.125Please respect copyright.PENANAi8Yq89zCBH
I’ve retired from being an odd jobs master.125Please respect copyright.PENANAunWklbm8sM
Even if you flatter or soothe me, I’m definitely refusing.125Please respect copyright.PENANApQlPo4mD01
The tears of an old guy won’t move my heart at all.125Please respect copyright.PENANAbgvyibfyzb
Ever since my experiences during the Athletics Meet, I gained the courage to refuse.
