Now that Aira-sama and Yurie-sama had gained entry into the schools they wanted to join, all that was left was waiting for their graduation.100Please respect copyright.PENANAw2CWmXqWJS
Since Yurie-sama won’t be coming to the salon once she graduates, Kaburagi has been secretly depressed under his mask of composure. It seems that he was hit pretty hard by the even greater difficulty of a middle schooler dating a university student. But no matter how hard you try, you can’t really do anything about an age gap.100Please respect copyright.PENANAsZ0xHO53Yv
I heard from Aira-sama that Yurie-sama was spending more time around him out of consideration.100Please respect copyright.PENANAIkGAQSylVk
Still, on days when Yurie-sama is too busy to come, Kaburagi just sighs as he looks out the window.100Please respect copyright.PENANA0nMiijgXCC
I wonder if he’s going to start writing poems again. Maybe I should teach him flower divination.100Please respect copyright.PENANAhnsn9h5FdG
Ah, and I also know a good matchmaker shrine, okay? The fortunes are really accurate. You should go too, Kaburagi-sama.100Please respect copyright.PENANAGJdDXun8UI
Speaking of poems, Class Rep made no progress at all despite his daring show of his love.100Please respect copyright.PENANA7R4nGbyjDK
I had been sure that he would confess after that, but since he showed no signs of it, I went and asked him. He replied that he was too embarrassed to try.100Please respect copyright.PENANAA04NzYxxoD
I really don’t get how this guy’s criteria for embarrassment…100Please respect copyright.PENANAP4tx4S4h05
Thinking this, I asked him why he did such a thing… and he replied that he was influenced by Shimazaki Touson, and had done it before he realised. That disease really is terrifying.100Please respect copyright.PENANA8OsHkyTHOy
Apparently he actually wanted Miharu-chan to realise his feelings through that poem.100Please respect copyright.PENANA8MYY17uepB
You think that because ‘Miharu(美波留)’ has ‘waves(波)’ in it, she’d realise because you drew a picture of a sea? Who the heck would!100Please respect copyright.PENANAOJd14hUlfv
If you were in the same class and were close to begin with, then sure, maybe, but if she thought it was her in this situation, that would just make her a total narcissist.100Please respect copyright.PENANAGHf3TnYF6A
In the end he asked me for advice on his next moves, so I suggested that he give her Valentine’s chocolate. In the end I guess he really liked the whole ‘reverse Valentine’s chocolate’ idea because he went and prepared something expensive.100Please respect copyright.PENANAcvznJBM7wB
Not only that, but apparently he was too embarrassed to give it to her, so he came and asked me to do it instead. Just how much of a maiden are you.100Please respect copyright.PENANA79NYBmfl04
I even told him to at least include a card with a message or something, but in the end he didn’t have the courage for that either. This would have been the time to use the poem. Hm, or maybe follow Touson’s example and draw a picture of an apple or something?100Please respect copyright.PENANAw5oMlhEpTl
In the end, for some reason I ended up giving it to Miharu-chan as a friend-chocolate. She was surprised at the sudden gift, but I was troubled too, okay. I just gave an obviously passion-filled chocolate to a girl I’m not even that close with. What if she misunderstands me and weird rumours spread.100Please respect copyright.PENANAP29ss0X3cP
Well, she actually did misunderstand, but in a completely different way. Somehow the story in her mind became one where I actually had somebody I really liked, but gave the chocolate to her because I lacked the courage to confess.100Please respect copyright.PENANAEewwzvU4yf
Miharu-chan looked at me with understanding and nodded, “Try your best next year, okay?” in a completely unnecessary consolation.100Please respect copyright.PENANAjZLxiZn5qO
How are you going to take responsibility for this, Class Rep!100Please respect copyright.PENANAYlgLuVeoWo
And now Miharu-chan thinks I like someone!100Please respect copyright.PENANAUsOtaqUwPp
As for Class Rep, he was incredibly moved when I passed her White Day present onto him.100Please respect copyright.PENANAm0V4mrM7LI
I’m getting the feeling that he’s transforming further and further into a maiden. I wonder if I can start treating him like a girlfriend already.100Please respect copyright.PENANA7KePNLNYCe
One day, I received a bit of news from Serika-chan about Tsuruhana-san.
“Tsuruhana-san got ear piercings.”
“Eh-”
Piercings in middle school!? What a delinquent!100Please respect copyright.PENANA1bTFWvD07M
Isn’t that forbidden by the school regulations? Ah, well, I guess a drill-hair like me can’t speak.
“Some of the other girls have gotten piercings too.”
“Unbelievable. It’s unacceptable.”
Kikuno-chan and the other girls started joining in too.100Please respect copyright.PENANAuXVdkjicFJ
Unlike other schools, Zui’ran is filled with kids from good families, so image is a huge deal to them. Thanks to that, the school regulations on personal appearance is strict too.100Please respect copyright.PENANAjpbUVcOaFE
Dyed hair is basically banned. But well, I hear some girls secretly use just a tiny bit so that it looks natural.100Please respect copyright.PENANAcMZ1MnzVU3
And I’ve got my curled hair too.100Please respect copyright.PENANAuWVtn92Ldq
But piercings, huhh. I wonder if they’d even do it for a middle schooler without their parents’ consent. Does that mean her parents are fine with it?100Please respect copyright.PENANAFY3C15IoUH
Or perhaps, surprisingly, she pierced them herself.100Please respect copyright.PENANA29MKzoJIVE
If that’s the case then she’s really bold. Leaving perms and dyes aside, a lot of traditional families frown upon piercings. Okaasama told me that she wouldn’t allow it either.100Please respect copyright.PENANAoPQnPfIdBC
Anyway, Tsuruhana-san’s group is getting more and more overbearing. My group is still higher than theirs, but the day that changes might be close.100Please respect copyright.PENANACjgHjjetjE
Serika-chan and the others began a sneaky discussion about whether or not to tattle on them.100Please respect copyright.PENANAWd3ZYkSDOH
I really hope they’d stop. Our group has weak points like my curled hair too.
“Let us watch them for a little longer. I do not think it would be a good idea for us to inform the teachers.”
I somehow managed to calm everyone down, but maybe things are going to get even more heated once we become third years.100Please respect copyright.PENANAjncQZULHlB
Gosh, I’d hate that. For some reason people think of me oddly highly, but I’m actually the first to run when it comes to a cat fight. Girls are scary.100Please respect copyright.PENANAvH5IgEMdPe
While all this was happening, I heard that Kaburagi attended the high school graduation ceremony with lilies (yuri).100Please respect copyright.PENANAwiL459j6UQ
Class Rep, Kaburagi, why are all these guys turning into maidens? I was a little envious.100Please respect copyright.PENANANxp6Avgmqo
But lilies, huh. Could it be that he saw the time Oniisama brought me uraras, and actually really liked it?100Please respect copyright.PENANAinFW4ZWkje
Actually, there was the time when he danced the waltz with Yurie-sama too.100Please respect copyright.PENANAl7gth9110w
Leaving Oniisama aside, perhaps Kaburagi should become Imari-sama’s disciple or something.100Please respect copyright.PENANAYFeJYwDC4V
The other day, Imari-sama came over for the first time in the while, and he gave me some boxed flowers.100Please respect copyright.PENANA62AqogVeE9
Boxed preserved flowers. Super stylish. Great for Valentine’s and Christmas.
So stylish! As expected of Imari-sama!100Please respect copyright.PENANAN3F4nmSwRn
Kaburagi, apparently men can’t stick to just bouquets, like a one trick pony!100Please respect copyright.PENANAqOTa21y5Je
Around the time cherry blossoms began to fall in full bloom, we all advanced into third years.
