After I retired from spying, I had almost no contact with those two, and spent my days in peace. The fact that I was turned into a gopher wasnât revealed either, and I managed to escape the downfall in hierarchy that I had dreaded. Actually far from it, thereâs this misunderstanding now that âReika-sama is close enough to that Kaburagi-sama that he would personally rely on herâ and Iâm even the target off some weird envy. No, no, weâre not close, I said. Since then, weâve almost never spoken, so please donât look at me with those expectant eyes.
*imouto*
As for Aira-sama, since then weâve continued to message each other once in a while. What an extravagant mail buddy! 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. With a letter written with all of Kaburagiâs heart, and a cute bouquet arriving every day, Yurie-sama folded pretty quickly. Apparently Aira-sama didnât 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. It looks like he properly followed my advice. 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. Iâm sure it was Enjouâs idea.
Cunningly, he even wrote about how he wanted to dance with her at this yearâs summer party and got a promise from her. 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. Could it be that he saw my waltz with Oniisama and longed for the same thing? That he hoped that he could do it one day as well? 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 heâs been biding his time. As for the waltz itself, even if heâs like that heâs still Kaburagi, so he lead Yurie-sama even though heâs just a little primary schooler. All the Ojousamas were entranced by it. I just wanted to snort, and chewed on some roast beef instead.
Also, apparently he really did reflect, because Kaburagiâs stalker att.i.tude calmed down as well. It seems like heâs training himself each day to become more suitable for the older Yurie. At school, heâs 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 canât help but want to tell somebody. But if I did that, itâd set me straight on the path to destruction, so when I get home I sink my face into my pillow and scream âHEâS ACTUALLY AN IDIOT YOU KNOWWWW!â âAND HEâS ALSO A STALKER YOU KNOWWWW!â âDONâT BE FOOLEDDDD!â to relieve my stress.
*imouto*
And so as days like that pa.s.sed, 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 Iâll go! No matter what, Iâll go! Aahh, oh my goodness! The role of princess is always played by her best friend Yurie-sama, but for just today Iâll get to be the princess that she protects!?
The maid helped me curl my hair into the usual hairstyle that my mother likes. She even added a ribbon to the back of my head, and I lo(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});oked like a fake Rococo Queen. [âMary Antoinette] But with this Fake Rococo Queen Hair, isnât 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? 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! Not just Aira-sama, but Oniisama and Imari-sama as well! Aira-sama in my right and, Imari-sama in my left, and Oniisama at my back! Hah-!? Could this be that situation thatâs all the rage in shoujo manga? The so-called reverse harem situation!? Aahh, my spring has finally&h.e.l.lip;
Momozono Imari-sama has been Oniisamaâs friend since primary, and is a splendid person that Iâve had the pleasure of meeting a few times. The truth is, Imari-sama is actually the one who gave me the idea for the small bouquets. When Imari-sama comes over to play, he always gives me (his friendâs little sister) a small and cute bouquet, and a few sweets and the like. As for the sweets, theyâre things like honey in a beautiful jar, or a box of a.s.sorted flower-shaped chocolates; just things that a girl would very likely appreciate. Even though he shouldnât have any sisters, at 11th grade heâs already splendid at dealing with girls, and really seems like the type that trouble will follow. But he always gives me lots of stuff. Of course, I do like Imari-sama whoâs both kind and somewhat dangerous, you know? Women prefer men with a little danger over a plainly kind and no-risk guy. Thatâs why I think that in the future, Imari-sama will become an enemy of womankind, and honestly Iâm quite looking forw-, &h.e.l.lip;quite worried about him.
Anyway, Imari-sama is a different kind of ikemen to Oniisama. Itâs the same with Enjou and Kaburagi too, but why do hot guys always seem to be friends with other hot guys? Speaking of which, I wonder who Akizawa-kun is good friends with&h.e.l.lip; &h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; &h.e.l.lip;I think Iâd better stop playing innocent while thinking about these no-good ideas. I mean, Akizawa-kun has big round eyes, and is cute in his own way too, isnât he. I love your friendly face, Akizawa-kun!
*imouto*
When I asked Aira-sama whether it was okay for the two of them to come, she happily agreed. The place weâre going is the most popular amus.e.m.e.nt park in j.a.pan. I wonder if everybody will be willing to wear animal-ear headbands with me. Oniisama seems like heâd definitely hate it. Weâre going on a weekday, but itâll probably be really packed, huhh&h.e.l.lip; Iâd better eat and sleep well so Iâm in peak condition for the day. Just a little bit longer until my bewitching reverse-harem date!

By the way, according to my Aira-sama Intelligence, Kaburagi and Yurie-samaâs school anniversary date (at least thatâs what he thinks of it) went splendidly without a hitch. They went to a museum. I wouldnât expect any less.
