Now then, the Pivione has its own salon inside the school grounds. A luxurious room thatâs already gone way past a school room, and is more like the living room in a royal suite in some first cla.s.s hotel. Whatâs more, it even has its own exclusive concierge.
The Pet.i.t Pivione salon is inside the primary school section, and as a member I need to show my face there. If I never a.s.sociate with the Pivione even though I was privileged enough to be chosen, itâs quite possible that the backlash would make me some enemies. When it comes to human relationships and contact, communication is important.
Honestly, I donât actually hate going to the salon. Thereâs yummy sweets after all, and I even hear information about the school from my uppercla.s.smen. If that was all it was, then I might have been happier to go there.
But the salon has âthat personâ.
âthat personâ
Right, Kaburagi Masaya, the Emperor.
To begin with, the Kaburagi family is a group that has hands in businesses around the world. A wealthy clan that leads j.a.pan. And of course, just like the Kisshouin family, theyâve inherited blood from former n.o.bles. In terms of peerage, the Kaburagi are apparently higher ranked though. Apparently some of their ancestors had a really esteemed lineage.
Honestly, weâre not on the same stageâ¦
No flaws in any aspects. A perfect clan. Thatâs the Kaburagi.
And the direct descendent of that lofty family is Kaburagi Masaya.
The boy himself has already displayed the necessary calibre to inherit the family. Even though heâs only a Year 1 student, he already has this aura that makes people want to obey, and when he glares over the people with this beautiful face that reminds you of a blue flame, he really does seem like an emperor.
Even right this very moment, heâs sitting boldly in a special seat like itâs natural. Even the idea of giving this seat up to somebody else doesnât seem to occur to him. As expected of the Emperor.
Just like bees gathering around honey, people are gathered around Kaburagi Masaya. And heâs paying almost no concern to them, and is instead looking out the window in boredom. Just what kind of upbringing would you need to raise a six year old so bored of life. A sovereignâs upbringing? If you give a child a sovereignâs upbringing, is this what they turn into?
If itâs that boring, how about you go outside and play some dodgeball or tag? But well, unfortunately there are no such children in the Suiran schoolyard.
I wonder if this kid can actually play like a normal child. The image of Kaburagi Masaya going kyaa kyaa kyaa on a unicycle comes to mind.
Uu-pfft-pfft, just imagining it is funny.
Or so I was thinking as I was watching him from a distance when he suddenly looked me right in the eyes. Geh-, heâs frowning at me. Could it be that he read my mind!?
Hieeeeee, IâM SORRY, IâM SORRY!
Faking the body language of somebody thinking âMy! I have suddenly remembered something I needed to do in the cla.s.sroom. I must return at once!â and then casually, CASUALLY, averting my eyes from him, I left the salon like nothing happened.
S-, Scary. I couldnât find the courage to look back.
*imouto*
âReika-sama, did you go to the Pet.i.t Pivione salon?â
When I returned to the cla.s.sroom, a girl from my cla.s.s spoke to me.
âYes. I had some tea.â
Another girl came to my side and asked,
âUmm, was Kaburagi-sama there?â
with a blush on her face.
âYes. He was in fact there.â
âMy!â
The girls began kicking up a fuss, going kyaa kyaa!
These girls arenât members of the Pivione, and Kaburagi Masaya is in a different cla.s.s to us, so they havenât really had many chances to get close to him.
âAre you close with Kaburagi-sama, Reika-sama? What kind of conversations do you have in the salon?â
Iâm not close, and Iâm not planning on getting close.
âKaburagi-sama is a taciturn person, and I have basically never spoken to him. Most of the time I chat with the uppercla.s.smen Oneesamas after all.â
âMy, is that soâ¦â
The girls immediately lost their excitement. Mm~mm, Iâm sorry. If possible Iâd love to tell you some wonderful stories too, but this has to do with my future, so.
âIâm sorry. I couldnât meet your expectations. Ah-, but he was eating chocolate. Perhaps he is fond of sweet things.â
For these depressed girls, I tried my best to reveal the fruits of my observation. Itâs nothing big, but how about it?
âWahh, Kaburagi-sama eating chocolate. I want to seee.â
âI love chocolate too. Iâm just like Kaburagi-sama!â
âIf he likes chocolate then Iâd better prepare some high cla.s.s stuff for Valentineâs!â
Ooh, they liked it more than expected. For now, Iâm glad that theyâre happy. But isnât it a bit early to be thinking about Valentineâs?
âTo think that you girls would try to ask Reika-sama about Kaburagi-sama.â
âHonestly, how rude.â
Oh! Itâs Kisshouin Reikaâs followers #1 and #2. Kazami Serika-chan and Imamura Kikuno-chan.
In Kimidol they also adored Emperor together with Reika and chased him around, but it seems that theyâre already fans of his in primary school.
Theyâre acting like theyâre angry for my sake, but they actually just donât like the fact that other girls get to hear stories about him too. Theyâre my followers so I guess they want me to give them exclusive information.
âIt was unbecoming of me to carelessly spread rumours about Kaburagi-sama. Serika-san, Kikuno-san, Iâm sorry as well.â
âAh-, no-â
âFor Reika-sama to apologise,â
The two of them panicked and followed up with a smile. Since theyâre all fans, wouldnât it be fine to just happily talk about their idol(Kaburagi Masaya) together? Later, Iâll make sure to tell the two of them what brand of chocolate he was eating, so I hope they get along with these girls.
