In the end, the plan was for me to attend cram school starting the end of the summer holidays in September.130Please respect copyright.PENANAP0bFMzrc5T
Not only is it a clean time to join, but it matches up with the schedule of the curriculum too.130Please respect copyright.PENANA7vsaXQF6so
There’s still two months until September, but I won’t say anything greedy.130Please respect copyright.PENANA83xuCsrMnB
As you’d expect they’d be suspicious if I insisted on going right this moment after all.
I sure am looking forward to it.
But first is summer break!130Please respect copyright.PENANAtDPDUj3Duk
As a wealthy primary school, they didn’t give us any dull holiday homework like writing an observation diary of a morning glory.130Please respect copyright.PENANAfETgqrRU6s
Although I actually quite like raising morning glories and sponge gourds and the like. Tsk.
“Where are you going during the summer break, Reika-sama?”
Also, since the summer holidays are a few weeks long, the entire school is excited.130Please respect copyright.PENANA8YCRISy4zW
Follower #1, Serika-chan seemed to be really looking forward to it, just like Follower #2 Kikuno-chan was.130Please respect copyright.PENANAERoBHqMt0z
And of course I was too!
“I am going to Tahiti with my family.”
“My, how lovely!”
Beaches really are the best in summer, aren’t they!130Please respect copyright.PENANAZtcuBi46G3
I’ve already bought a new swim suit, so I’ll show them the swimming skills of the Japanese!
“As soon as the holidays begin, my family is going to our holiday home. After that, is Hawaii.”
Hearing Serika-chan say this, Kikuno added,
“My family is going to Hawaii as well! Perhaps we’ll meet over there!”
“Eeh-, really!?”
Their eyes sparkled at the unexpected coincidence, and began comparing their itineraries and destinations.
Looking across the classroom, all my other classmates were excitedly talking about their travel plans as well.130Please respect copyright.PENANAutJelQQWNM
People often say that the moments leading up to the trip are the most fun, but it really does look like it.130Please respect copyright.PENANAs46OiPjLaH
You just look forward to it so much.130Please respect copyright.PENANAfGXus8l7c9
But from what I hear, almost all of them are going overseas. Apparently this school doesn’t have any kids that go to the beach at Chiba or Kanagawa…130Please respect copyright.PENANAoWBY8bHdvx
In my old life, they were my family’s standard beach trip spots.130Please respect copyright.PENANA803CcGhq2v
Aah, I miss the grilled corn that I ate at Bousou in Chiba. -drools-
“Speaking of which, have you heard? They say that Kaburagi-sama is going to the Mediterranean sea.”
Serika-chan whispered with a smile, like she saved that best bit for last.130Please respect copyright.PENANAKTOpcjpLIo
Hmm, the Mediterranean huh.
“I’ll bet they’re going to stay at a hotel owned by the Kaburagi Group, and spend almost all of the holidays overseas. I don’t think I’ll be able to handle not seeing his face for a whole month.”
Serika-chan spoke happily about Emperor, and then spoke sadly about not being able to meet him. To that, Kikuno-chan replied,
“I’ll bet he’s going together with Enjou-sama. Aah, if only I could go to the Mediterranean with those two.”
These two have a good grasp of Kaburagi’s information even though they’re in different classes. As expected of the fan network.
“You two sure are informed.” I praised, but they told me that it was natural to know at least that much.
Is that how it is?
But still, Enjou Shuusuke is going on vacation with Emperor?130Please respect copyright.PENANA4LgaETulVf
Those two sure have been getting along from way back, huh.
In 『you are my dolce』, Enjou Shuusuke was a character introduced as Emperor’s childhood and current friend, and supported the protagonist’s romance with Emperor.130Please respect copyright.PENANAGB2DYykfAq
There were few people who could speak with Emperor on even terms, and one time when the protagonist and Emperor had a disagreement, Enjou Shuusuke even rebuked him.130Please respect copyright.PENANAwHQOuXSJBa
Unlike Emperor with his cold and overpowering atmosphere, Enjou who always mediated with a soft smile was popular as a ‘soothing’ character amongst the readers.130Please respect copyright.PENANA7P6FklbNUd
And amongst the more ‘rotten’ women, he was treated as Emperor’s bride…130Please respect copyright.PENANApBGJaPs3wt
But when it came to anybody who tried to harm his friend the Emperor, he became quite harsh. There were even times when he was harsher than Emperor, huh~130Please respect copyright.PENANA3fv3Bwe65L
And of course Kisshouin Reika was an enemy to him, and occasionally she would be brutally cut down.
Even now I sometimes see them together in the Petite Pivoine or the hallway, and it seems that their relationship is already just like the manga’s.130Please respect copyright.PENANAMVSSr6drVY
If I recall, they were supposed to have attended kindergarten together as well.
If it’s just the faces, I was in Team Enjou.130Please respect copyright.PENANAApf33HX2kD
In the coloured illustrations he had honey-coloured hair, and was just like a prince.130Please respect copyright.PENANA6RGvpyk6ku
When I first enrolled and I saw his black hair, boy was I shocked.130Please respect copyright.PENANA45rHOLlODz
‘Was that honey dyed!? Was that hair colour non-natural!?’ I thought.130Please respect copyright.PENANAMZFfRMxShy
But that makes sense I guess. He wasn’t a half-Japanese character, so of course he couldn’t have that hair colour.130Please respect copyright.PENANA7CIwSLc08d
‘Did he dye his hair at some point? Did he suddenly have a honey-dyed make over? What did everyone around him think?’130Please respect copyright.PENANAPAFcPwp8DP
I’ll be looking forward to seeing what happens, while smirking inside a little.
Speaking of which, is hair dye okay in this school?
The Pivoine is going to have their customary summer party.130Please respect copyright.PENANAfse9enp7TN
In the end, it’s mostly for the real Pivoine, and we Petites are just tagging along.130Please respect copyright.PENANAyI62cKcBXP
But since they sent us invitations as well, lately the salon’s been filled with talk about the party.130Please respect copyright.PENANAaRwWtL5iff
The girls have been talking about what dresses they’re going to wear.
And as for me, I’m looking forward to it too.130Please respect copyright.PENANAiv4Pxo6Sj1
I mean, it sounds so fun, right!?130Please respect copyright.PENANA3i2uJy92Zm
Picture it; a dazzling hall with Oneesamas in beautiful dresses, being escorted by all the Oniisamas.130Please respect copyright.PENANA3lYx9erklR
And in the middle of the hall are people doing the waltz.130Please respect copyright.PENANAxVEFIUB4DU
Just watching it alone sounds fun!130Please respect copyright.PENANAbvVIDLkM7c
The drawings in the manga were gorgeous too.130Please respect copyright.PENANAwNNGmUjF8V
The protagonist got bullied by Kisshouin Reika and the followers though…
I ended up remembering something nasty.
Well, whatever. Let’s get back in gear and think about fun things.130Please respect copyright.PENANAbUXXInCJuT
I heard that Kaburagi Masaya won’t be in Japan this year, so while he’s gone I’ll enjoy the Pivoine!
