Chapter 171
Hi guys! Looking for experienced cleaners or type-setters to help with the .
Hans Axel von Fersen (4 September 1755 - 20 June 1810) was a Swedish count, Marshal of the Realm of Sweden, a General of Horse in the Royal Swedish Army, one of the Lords of the Realm, aide-de-camp to Rochambeau in the American Revolutionary War, diplomat and statesman, and a friend of Queen Marie-Antoinette of France. He died at the hands of a Stockholm lynch mob.
Charles-Henri Sanson, full t.i.tle Chevalier Charles-Henri Sanson de Longval (15 February 1739 - 4 July 1806) was the royal executioner of France during the reign of King Louis XVI, and High Executioner of the First French Republic. He administered capital punishment in the city of Paris for over forty years, and by his own hand executed nearly 3,000 people, including the King himself.
Louis Antoine Lon de Saint-Just (25 August 1767 - 28 July 1794) was a military and political leader during the French Revolution. He spearheaded the movement to execute King Louis XVI and later drafted the radical French Const.i.tution of 1793. He became a close friend of Maximilien Robespierre, and served with him as one of the commissioners of the powerful Committee of Public Safety.
Maximilien Franois Marie Isidore de Robespierre (6 May 1758 - 28 July 1794) was a French lawyer and politician. He is perhaps best known for his role in the French Revolutions Reign of Terror, a period during the French Revolution characterised by ma.s.s executions.
Anyhow, what I took away from that last party was that there were no signs of our family being destroyed at this point.
Everyone from our company screamed Elite! and Capable!. Not only were they all quite accomplished at work, but their expressions seemed positive too.
Thanks to my constant reminders Otousama wasnt doing anything dishonest, and best of all Oniisama was working there!
I could count on Oniisama to stop Otousama trying to do commit fraud or attempt any hostile takeovers.
And we had the secretary Sasajima-san too.
Okaasama might have been quite a spender, but it wasnt so much that our family was in danger, and I liked to think that I was spending modestly too.
As for our destroyers from the manga, while we werent particularly close to the Kaburagi family, neither were we on bad terms. At the very least they didnt have a reason to destroy us. Probably.
At this rate I didnt think Id end up needing to go to another university. Suiran University probably wouldnt be a problem. Because geez, if it wasnt for the school fees I reaaally wanted to go to Suiran.
I was humming thoughtfully to myself with a pillow in hand as I sat in the living room after my dinner and bath.
Oniisama came back from work and asked what I was doing.
Hmmm, I suppose I am wondering about what I want to do in the future.
Future? You werent planning on going to Suirans university?
Well that would be ideal but
Oniisama slackened his tie as he took a seat next to me.
Then whats the problem? Are the grade requirements for your major too high?
No, I am not even sure what faculty I want to enter yet. I suppose I was just kind of wondering about the school fees?
School fees?
Oniisama looked at me strangely. Well, of course he did. Why would a daughter of the Kisshouin family have to worry about paying her school fees.
For example, if our family suddenly became bankrupt I was wondering if I could afford them in that case
Bankrupt? You always have the most negative daydreams, dont you, Reika. Youve been like this since you were a kid. Is there some reason, or?
Not exactly
I couldnt exactly say I read a manga in my last life, Oniisama. Hed think I was mental.
I sat in silence as Oniisama sighed, placing a hand on my head.
You know, Reika, I dont know why youre so worried about that, but both our company and our family are doing just fine. And even if something did happen to our family, I at least have enough money to pay for one sisters tuition fees. If you have a university you want to go to, then just go. Alright?
His rea.s.suring smile cleared away my worries. Of course! I had Oniisama, didnt I. Of course everything was going to be alright. I wasnt alone.
You should rely on your family more, Reika.
Yeah. Thank you.
This morning Kaburagi visited Wakaba-chans cla.s.s, as was the norm.
Although Wakaba-chan referred to him as Kaburagi-sama now, when speaking to him directly she used Kaburagi-kun as he instructed.
Even though he basically forced her into it, people were still unhappy about it.
In the salon the President was coldly listening to her daily report on Takamichi Wakaba.
The use of Kaburagi-kun by an ordinary student like Wakaba-chan was outrageous to her group.
A number of the Suiran supremacists had already warned her to know her place but since she told them that it was at Kaburagis instruction, none of them could escalate further.
Which of course just worsened their ire of her.
The Presidents group were gathered in their corner, as usual, whispering about something or other.
Since I had tests to study for I left the salon early today and made my way to the car park. On the way I happened to meet Kaburagi.
Gokigenyoh, Kaburagi-sama. Are you leaving for the day?
Yeah.
I bet he was secretly studying away to keep his ranking.
Thank you finding the time to come to our humble party, the other night.
No, thanks for inviting me. I had fun.
Whoa! Of all people, Kaburagi was being polite to me!
Kaburagi suddenly glanced into the distance. At the end of his gaze was who seemed to be Wakaba-chan.He stood there watching until the figure left.
Kaburagi-sama
Hm? he continued staring in that direction.
Were you aware that a great many people are jealous because of all the attention you pay to Takamichi-san?
Eh?
He turned to face me but I bade him farewell and got into my car.
I somehow managed to finish the end-of-term tests. They were always hard because of how much more content you had to study for than the mid-terms.
I didnt have much in the way of memory storage, so whenever I remembered something new it just pushed out what I studied earlier. Wasnt there some way of fixing this?
During the test there was something related to the test written on Wakaba-chans desk. Thankfully she realised and notified the teacher beforehand.
If she hadnt she might have been accused of cheating.
I hoped the scare didnt affect her performance
My Vice President at the Handicrafts Club came to my cla.s.s.
Um, Reika-sama. Club Activities will be recommencing today. Will you be attending?
I was super happy that she was here to invite me, but I already had that planned for today.
I am sorry. Today I must head to the Pivoine salon no matter what. If I can find the time afterwards, I would certainly like to head to the club, but
The President of the Pivoine had asked me to come to the salon after the term-end exams. I didnt want to be I had a bad feeling about this
I see. Well, weve all just finished our exams, so I dont think many people will be coming today anyhow. Please dont push yourself and just head home.
I see. Thank you.
If I had my way then Id be heading to the Handicrafts Club too. It was getting cold, so I was thinking about knitting myself a haramaki belly warmer for winter.
But I couldnt exactly refuse the invitation of the President of all people.
I trudged my way there with heavy heart, and when I arrived at the salon I was met by the smiles of the President and her friends.
Sorry for calling you here so soon after your exams, Reika-sama.
No, please do not be. Was there something you wished to speak about?
Yes, we did. Right, everybody?
Everyone nodded.
The truth is that we would like you to be the next President of the Pivoine.
Eh!? Me!?
Me!? Thats impossible!
To begin with, why me!? The President needed the power to control these people!
How on earth could I even go about controlling the likes of Enjou and Kaburagi. Particularly Kaburagi!
If there was somebody who continually undermined the words of the leader, pretty soon everybody would follow.
And if the non-members saw that n.o.body was listening to me theyd think of me as an easy mark as well. And then at the end theyd stage a revolution! Oh no, Id be headed for the guillotine
If I was the Rococo Queen then that made Fellow Stalking Horse Robespierre!
Eh!? Then did that make Wakaba-chan Saint-Just!?
Nooooooooooooooo! Save meee, Ferseeeen!
Reika-sama?
Whoa! Talk about losing a grip on reality!
I am unsure that I am suited for
Everything will be fine! We will persuade younger members to see things our way. The Pivoine wont lose to the likes of the Student Council!
No, no, I dont want to fight it out with the Student Council at all. Dont tell me she was going to turn me into a puppet President and control the Pivoine after graduation?
Please, Reika-sama, for the good of the Pivoine.
Impossible I couldnt see any future in it except for isolation. Sanson the Executioner was already beckoning for me
Oh dear, I think my hair was going to turn white from the stress
Since the exams are done, wanna come over and hang? came the message from Wakaba-chan.
I super do!
Youre the only one I can voice my complaints to, Wakaba-chaaan~!
Hi !
