No no no no. . .Oh my god. . .Why is this even happening. . . .

I am currently in my classroom,the orientation for the field trip is currently happening. . .However,I can’t think about that.I am lost in my troubled thoughts.Anything that doesn’t have to do with it goes in one ear and out the other.

Of course I haven’t fully forgotten the nickname problem.It’s just that I don’t have the mental capacity to be thinking about all of my problems right now.

What my father told me is still echoing in my head.

I am jealous of all my classmates talking excitedly about the field trip.Sigh*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the past.

“The head of the Sakura Koji wants to have an arranged marriage between Yonagi and Yoru.”

My father told me.I thought it was just a bad joke.In modern day Japan, parents deciding arrange marriages is such an uncommon thing.Especially seeing as we are still just children.

I thought the words”I am joking” would immediately follow.

But those words never came.He looked at me with a serious face for awhile.

I finally understood how troublesome it is to be born into a high class household.

It’s not something I could understand from just being an ordinary person in the past.I unintentionally let out a shriek cause of the realization.

I see now.This life may be harder than my last.

From what I could gather,my father doesn’t necessary dislike Yonagi. Rather he praises the child who is talented and has a bright future.

However he dislikes Yonagi’s father.The head of the Sakura Koji family.

It seems that he only sees his children as pawns in his schemes.

Therefore this engagement is probably as well. . . .

My father stopped talking about it.It is a bit strange telling a child this though.Though I understood what its about.

(“Political Marriage.”)

The head of the Sakura Koji family is trying to have Yoru and Yonagi marry as a mean to expand the size of their house.

Although if its not handled well it could lead to 200 years of resentment.

My father seems to be displeased about it with me.But the opponent is not somebody that can just be treated brashly.

It seems necessary to arrange reasons for refusing.Which is where I come in.

It’s for me to swap with Yoru and go to a social gathering.If I am able to not get exposed,I’ll be able to refuse the engagement adamantly.(私に夜瑠の変わりをさせ、社交会に出させる。そこで相手が夜瑠ではなく私だと見抜けなかったら、婚約の資格がないと断る理由が出来る。)(TN:I want to make sure I have the plan right.)

Even though our hairstyle and character is different,our faces aren’t. The hairdo problem could be solved with a wig,and the character could be solved if I just don’t talk alot.9 out of 10 this solution should work.Nobody we’ll be able to see through my disguise.If I talk unreasonably and adamantly refuse it should work.

This is the only way.I want to destroy this engagement.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think I might have been swept away from the adrenaline to just say OK so quickly.I didn’t think about it carefully.

But its to prevent the control of a person’s’ life. . . .

I am now starting to regret it though.My stomach is very heavy.I have a stomach ache.

I was asked though,not to say anything to Asahi or Mahiru. I can’t show myself to them right now.I am suppose to be the adult figure. I must be the one who is relied on! I feel stupid just thinking about this.(朝日や真昼ではなく私に頼んだのは性格が大人、みたいな理由ではなく単に二人の姿が見えなかっただけみたいだし。大人だから頼られてる！って思い込んでた自分が馬鹿みたいだ。)(TN:not sure about this one either.I could probably skip this sentence and just get what I could understand from it,but I am honestly just curious about what it says.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now let’s go back to the present.

The social gathering that is sponsored by Sakura Koji family is taking place on Saturday. Two days from now.It’s there we’ll stage our decisive battle.

When I decided to confront Tenjouin I was anxious for a few days.But the weight of this is massively different.

This isn’t just for a quarrel between kids.This is literally to prevent a life of suffering.Moreover it’s Yoru’s life, not my own.

“Yuu-chan are you alright?”

Mahiru seemed to notice me in my troubled state.

I didn’t notice until now,but orientation was over.Our classmates were talking among themselves,trying to form groups.It was very noisy.

“Why would I not be?”

“Your complexion is bad,do you have a fever?”

Suddenly her chilly hand touched my forehead.

“Oh.It looks like it’s not a fever. . . .What is it then? Is something wrong?”

I can’t explain to Asahi,Mahiru or Yoru right now.

In order for them not to worry,I can’t let them know about it.It’s too heavy of a topic. My father told me.

I can’t have them assume something really bad is happening though.

So I narrowed my eyes and said.

“Sorry,actually I just didn’t have enough sleep.”

“Is that so. . .”

For some reasons I felt Mahiru gaze at me with a sad expression.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Is that so. . .- – -As I thought you can’t rely on me. . . . .”

The voice didn’t reach anybody,as it was drowned out by the hustle and bustle of the classroom.
