Zannen Kei na Ojou-sama no Nichijou - Chapter 8

Drinking black tea as I made myself at home on top of the sofa, Aoi sat down on one facing opposite me.

Nee-san, weve been going home by ourselves lately Did you join a club?
Hmm its a bit different
Is it?

Uu-nn, how should I explain to Aoi That is definitely not a form of club activity. Aois question towards why were returning at different times has another reason to it, that is; the existence of an assembly for cheap snacks. The other members being; the weird ojou-sama, Miyagawa Sumire and the worldy-wise man, Maeshiro Hitomi.

We have been gathering at the 2nd tea room to sample cheap snacks since then. The one were especially into was a game of guessing whose favourite is which in the 3 snacks lined up. The one eating desperately tries to hide the fact while the person guessing looks out for the trivial signs of truth. If seen through, they must, in all effort, make a weird face. If not, the person guessing has to make it instead. Thats the type of game. For now, its Hitomi-samas complete win. The weird faces are picked up between me and Sumire-sama.

An idiotic game like this, I definitely wouldnt want Aoi to know. Hell probably be surprised by the fact that Im eating cheap snacks before that.

Eetto, Ive been spending time chatting with Miyagawa Sumire-sama and Maeshiro Hitomi after school
Aa, people from flowers princess?
Yes

Aois in another building so he probably doesnt know much about our side but it seems like he at least knows the names of the members from flowers princess. Well, those two do stand out

Aoi, what are you holding on to?
Eh? Ah, this

Signalling the white envelop in his hand, Aoi handed it over to me a bit listlessly. Finding things a little mysterious, I opened the received envelop. Inside was an photograph of five, male classmates.

This is
From the Kendo tournament last time. The top five got together to have a photo taken, I got one even though I dont need it

Now that I think of it, Aoi said that there was a Kendo competition held during class for the middle school boys My face stiffened a bit at the personnel in the photo that gave a sense of dj vu.

Everyones in second year, the same people as last years too
The second years are quite remarkable
that may be so. Ah, Kuzes in here too

My heart jumped, startled upon hearing that name.

I have heard of the name Kuze, there was no way I wouldnt have. He is someone Ive met a number of times, parcelling out a sense of hatred from the heart. That was the feelings of Maria before having the memories of her past life.

Kuze Koutarou, my fianc decided upon by my aunt.

However, the relationship between he and I was the worst. Unable to align from the moment we met, to finally, the point of glaring at each other the moment we met. It would be difficult to reject my aunts decision while being enrolled in school. The Flowers Palace has uncle as the board chairman, aunt wouldnt stand still if her decision gets rejected.

I, myself, would like to reject this offer, but likewise, both of us would prefer not to make a fuss with short-tempered my aunt while were still in school. Couldnt wish for a faster engagement annulment after our graduation. There is, still the issue about the two houses and by no means would anything go as smooth as planned.

The Maria in the manga admired Tengenji, she mightve found her school days suffocating for not being able to love freely. Well, from the reader, her personality was the worst. The Kuze in the manga treated Maria rather coldly too Maria, quite a character for gathering hatred.

Eetto, Aois fourth in rank, Kuze Koutaro fifth, first is ah, as expected

Third place was a boy with smooth, black hair with the bangs on the left side a bit longer; Kiryuu Takuto, eyes looking a bit intense while giving a sour look. This person, he was always tsun tsun with the heroine in the manga well, the dere comes in bit by bit afterwards.

Second place is a cute boy with soft, milk brown hair, facial features like that of a girls; Amamiya Yuzuru. In the manga, he was very popular with the girls, playful but kind of light in areas of romance, but falling for the heroine, he still pulled back as he thought of his best friend. This point was highly favourable from the views of the readers.

Ranking first was one with silky, light brown hair, a kind expression on a face of good features; Tengenji Yuu. A well-proportioned nose with distinct double-layered eyes, he was the orthodox of the ikemen selection. He was like a sparkly prince charming in the manga, one with tremendous popularity. Hes the hero whos kind, and will always protect the heroine.

Itll be no surprise if these people, like the manga, are popular even after going up to high school. Kuze Koutarou was popular amongst the girls and Aoi too, was popular. Something like; expect no less from the handsome five from Flowers Palace?

Id much rather avoid having anything to do with them but I guess avoiding Kuze Koutarou is out, hes already made an appearance as my fianc

The main issue is living my high school days peacefully, and after that, how to annul the engagement.

Nee-san too, as expected, interested in these people?
No, not really
Fu-un

Im not interested. Ill get troubled with getting involved with Tengenji Yuu and having to advance straight to the manga scene. I dont know whos trying to kill me, but it should be someone who already made an appearance. The incentive to getting killed may also be because I got involved with these people. Its better to avoid anything thats likely to stand up a death flag.

Is Aoi close to these people?
Not particularly. We dont really talk with each other unless necessary

The manga too, Aoi wasnt that close with Tengenji and them.

Things look troublesome after we enter high school. Even now, there are girls who come over to steal a look

Uwah, theres even those types of people well, the manga did have fan clubs in high school.

I need to train while I still have time, train so that I can brace ones legs even if Im half an inch from getting pushed down the stairs. Not to forget, the ability to outrun the offender even if I get chased after and, physical strength for struggling even if I get blocked!
