Chapter 77
Today,at Kasumi-samas invitation, I was having lunch at the Pivoine seats. I feel like Ive been eating nothing but sweet foods recently, so today I went with a healthy spring greens and bacon pasta.
I heard that you planned a lunch event for your cla.s.s, she said with a teasing expression.
Ill bet this is about how I used her name on Tomoe-senpai.
Yes, both the Student Council President and the cafeteria staff happily agreed, you see. Thanks to that, everybody was able to have a pleasant lunch together
My! Huhu, she laughed.
Suddenly, some others joined our conversation.
Was there any need to go out of your way to ask the Student Council? Why, it almost seems as though the Student Council is ranked above us.
Yeah. When everythings said and done, its us Pivoine thats the highest here at Suiran.
Oh dear~ Things have become annoying.The Pivoine Supremecists really hate the Student Council after all.Kasumi-sama was hanging her head awkwardly. Considering their reactions, it would be impossible to come clean about her boyfriend.Unlike middle school, the tensions between the Pivoine and Student Council are quite p.r.o.nounced here.Its probably because the power of the Student Council is a lot greater in the high school section. Well, considering who our current StuCo President is though, I doubt itll turn into an all-out confrontation, but still&h.e.l.lip;
Because I am still only a new student, I felt that perhaps it would be safer to notify the Student Council as well. However, if my conduct has caused anybody discomfort, I am truly very sorry&h.e.l.lip;
Ah, no, its not your fault, Reika-san. Sorry about that. Just dont worry about it.
Once I started acting feeble and pitiful, they backed down surprisingly quickly. Uhehe.That was the end of that, and lunch progressed peacefully again. Both Kaburagi and Enjou occasionally joined in on the conversation too. Apparently they werent going to join a club. Although, it seemed that a lot of sports clubs invited them.
Which club did you want to join, Reika-sama? I heard that you went to check them out.
Yes, although I am still having trouble deciding&h.e.l.lip;
Although, the truth is that there are a few cultural clubs that I want to enter. But all of them are filled with quiet kids, so it would be like a sudden wolf in a pen of little rabbits. They definitely wouldnt welcome me.
How about the Tea Ceremony Club or the Flower Arrangement Club?
I have teachers that I have been learning both under since young, so there is really no reason to join those clubs as well.
I see. Is there anything else you wanted?
At first I was interested in the sports clubs, but&h.e.l.lip;
Suddenly, Kaburagi and Enjou glanced my way. What the heck. So what if I wanted to join a sports club.Its true that I dont have a good history with mountain climbing but my P.E. results are at least average, okay! And didnt I do pretty well during the Athletics Carnival!Its not that Im bad at sports. Im just lacking the willpower, okay.
Ive heard that the Suiran sports clubs lean towards the intense side. Wouldnt it be a little harsh for you, Reika-sama?
Yes. I realised that it was impossible for me after having a look.
I heard Kaburagi and Enjou quietly stifling their laughter. Annoying.
Huuuh~? These seats are free, guys~
At that moment, Wakaba-chan suddenly came this way with a bentou.No way! Why!?I got careless because of how far into lunch break we were. Did her cla.s.s get held back or something!?The plate! Wheres the plate that says theyre Pivoine only!? Its gonee! Who was it!? Who was it that removed it!?As Wakaba-chan came over with an innocent smile, the atmosphere around the Pivoine senpais grew severe. This is bad&h.e.l.lip; It seemed like the Pivoine Supremecists would explode at any moment.
U-Umm! These seats are reserved for our use only, so normal students cannot sit here, you know?
Before I knew it I had stood up and warned Wakaba-chan.For a moment she stared blankly as our eyes met. Then she turned around and found her pale friends, and finally realised that she was in trouble.
Im sorry! I didnt realise. I sincerely apologise, she exclaimed as she bowed, low, before rushing back to her friends.
Safe!
What was that meant to be. A new External? Lets find her name later and issue a formal warning. Shes setting a bad example for the rest.
That girl did not seem as though she belonged here. Could it be that she was a scholarship student?
Thatd make things all the worse.
Gegeh-!
Umm! There is really no need to go that far. I am sure she is simply still acclimating. Could you perhaps turn the other way just this once?
However&h.e.l.lip;
Of course it would not do to simply leave things, so I will personally talk to her cla.s.s representative to give her a warning, as well as properly teach her about the Pivoine. Please?
&h.e.l.lip;Then just this one time, in deference to you, Reika-san.
&h.e.l.lip;Yes. If Reika-san is willing to go that far, then&h.e.l.lip;
My! Thank you very much!
Scaryyy~ The Pivoine is so scaryyyy~Theres no need to get so angry just because somebody wanted to sit in a chair, okay~?And Wakaba-chan, youre way too careless. The friends with you all noticed, didnt they? And friends of Wakaba-chan, youre supposed to tell her. Dont just go pale and stand there.
Also, all throughout this little drama, Kaburagi and Enjou continued eating like nothing&h.e.l.lip;
But wow, what happened just now was that scene when Kisshouin Reika got angry and screamed Know your place! at Wakaba-chan, right?In the manga, the whole cafeteria went silent, and made Wakaba-chan rather infamous right at the start of school. It marked the beginning of a lot of troubles.Still, I managed to avoid it, right? Although I did sort of stand up and warn her without much thought. I mean, things would have gotten extremely troublesome had I stayed still.Aahh, but what happened was almost like the manga&h.e.l.lip; Uu, my stomach is kinda hurting again.But Ill finish make sure to this pasta. Vegetables are good for you, after all.
I spoke to her cla.s.s representative about what happened at lunch, and asked them to discreetly teach the new students what to watch out for.
Itd be nice if there was a Pivoine manual or something, though. Perhaps Ill have a word with Tomoe-senpai about it&h.e.l.lip;
