Zannen Kei na Ojou-sama no Nichijou - Chapter 6

6. Ojou-sama, try perform shadow arts It is Sour Ninja Artsis a cheap snack that one pocket would include three gum. Within them, one is a sour confectionery for common people known as Russian roulette. Ive often eaten them as a kid in my previous life, but why is such a thinghere, I wonder? It doesnt seem like thered be a person who brings these types of snacks in a school full of ojou-samas.

Ara, it says gum on it
What may gum be?
A best before date is written here too, I wonder if its some type of food?

Quick Announcement: The high-class daughters here do not know the existence of gum.
There was actually such a thing well, as the upper echelons of society, I doubt these ojou-samas would get an opportunity to try it, probably no chances of coming across one either.

Ill turn it in to the teacher so you guys should head over to the classrooms before the bell rings

What appeased these ladies swarming together in interest was the nice voice that passed by from Hitomi-sama.

Hitomi-sama, if its such a task, we can!
No, I shall!

The once calmed ladies all drew closer to Hitomi-sama, seemingly wanting to help their admired idol, their eyes sparkled, face slightly red a bit scary.

I cant trouble you all for such a thing, your feelings are more than enough, thank you

The girls covered their bright red faces at Hitomis smile, almost as if this was some exchange for some sort of school arts festival. Following their idols words, they started heading towards their respective classrooms. Turning around, I saw Hitomi-sama and right behind her, Sumire-sama, walking in the opposite direction.

For some reason, it felt like Sumire-sama was walking wobbly as though shes getting dragged along by clinging on someones legs. Her condition mightve not been too well.

But, its weird!
Right! Its the turn for the great detective Maria to stand up at times like this! Theres the thing about the rumours too, Im quite interested in finding out the truth behind it. Although Hitomi-sama pressed everyone to head for the classrooms, there is still time before the bell rings

Secretly following the two, I found Hitomi-sama and Sumire-sama standing face to face at an empty space behind the back.

Sumire
hai
What is this?
Etto, it seems like confectionery

It seems like Hitomi-sama was angry at something, and the poor responses of Sumire-sama as I thought, is she feeling unwell I wonder? A-re? But the thing Hitomi-samas holding was the snack just then. Whys she pressing the question to Sumire-sama?

Ill ask one more time, whatisthis?
It is sour ninja arts
Sumire
Sumires sour ninja arts! Yes, Im sorry!!

Eh!? Its a lie right!!? That snack was Sumire-samas!? I think she did say something about liking St. Honore, but is there such an ojou-sama who likes snacks?

Uwaan! Please forgive~!

That lovely, elegant Sumire-sama is starting to clamour like a child.

Why bring it to school?
Because~ Because~ I wanted to have a match between Hitomi and see who gets the sour one!
Are you an idiot?

And unexpectedly, Hitomi-sama was sharp tongued, even though the sweet expression she made always entranced the girls here now this is another cold truth that’s going ache their well-being.

Doing something like that itll cause great uproars if you get found out
While I was taking out the handkerchief from my pocket, ukaagyaa!
I dont even know what your saying anymore

Ah, my eyes met with Sumires, bad itll be quite problematic if the fact that I was eavesdropping gets found out.

To get found out so easily like this I mustve not had enough training as a detective.

Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hitomarisama-ma-ryaaa
Sumire, if you continue to act like this any… Eh?

The Hitomi-sama who found me as she turned around turned pale in an instant. Sumire-sama started panicking with teary eyes. Having seen how she usually acts, it was imaginable how far apart her current odd behaviour was right now.

Might their secret have been this? The rumours of these two behind closed doors was actually because of Sumire-samas interest in bringing cheap snacks?

Ah, ano, Maria-san this is, that
Wh-Wh-What should we do?! Hitomi, we must erase Maria-samas memories!

What fearful things is she saying. Sumire-sama, is she actually quite a weird person!?

Sumire, calm down. Its not a given that weve been heard yet
Um I heard everything, very sorry

Sumire-sama held her head, perplexed, upon my words while mumbling Ill be made into the Sumire cheap snacks

What kind of person did she think of me as? Well, the Maria up until now mightve scorned at this point. Would she have said something like to be fond of such things like food for commoners, you sure are ridiculous.

I wont tell anyone about this, however, under one condition if I may add?

I curled the corners of my mouth, smiling as I tilted my head, pointing out a finger.
