Kenkyo, Kenjitsu o Motto ni Ikite Orimasu

One more for neoshadow and Mach (:If you have time, write novelupdate reviews for my projects please! Think of it as a birthday present!

I became a second year.But more importantly, this year Ririna will be entering Suiran.So that girl was smart enough to make it in as an External&h.e.l.lip;Lets keep it a secret that I made light of her because I thought she was too wilful to study.But now that Ririna is here, I guess that means my days of peace are at risk now.Id be happy if she didnt wrap me up in anything troublesome, but&h.e.l.lip;With her personality, will she be able to make any friends?Or so I was wondering, but apparently with her overbearing personality, she immediately gained a bunch of lackeys and formed her own faction.I had to sort of admire the way she was already walking about like she owned the place, even though she just got here.Youre amazing, Ririna.

Also, one ominous thing has happened.Apparently my prided luck in cla.s.s changes has come to an end.I ended up in Enjous cla.s.s.When I saw the cla.s.s roster, I almost fell to my knees. Its over&h.e.l.lip;But at least its not Kaburagi I guess. As long as I dont become enemies with Kaburagi, Enjou shouldnt be any problem.Right, there shouldnt any problem.

There was a huge problem.The cla.s.s was so noisy. Not just the girls inmycla.s.s, but even the girls from other cla.s.ses came to make a fuss during the break. While I wasnt in my best condition in the morning, the high-pitched sounds of girls damaged me further.Ive never been in their cla.s.ses before, so Ive gotten used to peace and quiet. This is pretty harsh on me.Enjou himself wouldnt really pay too much attention to the girls, and he spent most of his time with guy friends, but girls would still want to be with him and would squeal about him.This noisiness doesnt really harm me as an outsider, but Enjou didnt look happy about it either, so I ended up sympathising with him. I guess things are bad when youre too popular as well, huh.There are times when you want some quiet too. Aahh, I guess thats why they always come to the salon.More than me at least.I want to escape to the quiet salon too, now&h.e.l.lip;

The teacher tried getting me to become cla.s.s rep this year too, but I refused.If not the cla.s.s representative, then at least the vice? they asked, but I wont fall for that either. Its impossible for me.If it was the peaceful cla.s.ses I was used to, then perhaps I might have accepted, but Im no match for this one. Its obvious that Id suffer.In Enjous cla.s.s, it seems hard to get anything done.Just a.s.signing seats was a huge fuss. The intensity for drawing the random seats was so intense. In all my other cla.s.ses so far, people made a fuss too, but it was just at the level of wanting to be near the back or near the person they liked, but this was on another level.It was the same for picking the various duties and the cla.s.s reps. The girls all wanted to do something with Enjou, so it was hard getting it decided.But too bad. Enjou isnt doing a thing. The noisy girls were all crestfallen.Thats right. Id forgotten, but the privileged Pivoine members pretty much never do odd-jobs like this. They dont work for the students, the students work for them.So then why have I been working so&h.e.l.lip;?But then Enjou also joined the executive committee for the athletics carnival in primary, didnt he. If Sensei asked him, maybe he would be cla.s.s rep as well?Rather, since the fuss is all centred on him, I think everything would go smoothly if he did it.The two cla.s.s reps that were chosen were exhausted before a month had even pa.s.sed.Last year Miharu-chan was the cla.s.s rep for Enjous cla.s.s, so maybe shes grown sick of him? Nows your chance. Do your best Maiden Cla.s.s Rep.

Aahh, this is going to be a difficult year&h.e.l.lip;

So its that difficult being in Shuusukes cla.s.s.

Aira-sama smiled happily as she listened to me.

Well, there is no direct harm to me, but I am unaccustomed to the noise&h.e.l.lip;

Today the duo didnt come to the salon, so I could talk to Aira-sama about this.Aira-sama is a third year this year, so shes been busier with studies than ever. Once I considered that she would be coming here less and less, I felt a little lonely.Kaburagi was the same, since this is the last year he has with Yurie-sama in the salon. He wants to spend more time with her, but doesnt want to disturb her studies either, so apparently hes been agonising over this dilemma.Hes gotten better at hiding his emotions than he used to be, so I dont think hed show it too much on the surface though.But well, in exchange, he cheerfully sends her to her prep school. Do your best&h.e.l.lip;While we were talking about that, Enjou came to the salon. Its rare to see him without Kaburagi.

Shuusuke, its just you today?

Yeah. Masaya is sending Yurie off. You know that already, Aira.

With that, he came over to us. Ugeh.

I just thought it was rare that you were coming to the salon alone, Shuusuke. I thought youd immediately head home if Masaya wasnt with you.

I have something after cla.s.s, so Im killing time until then. And itd be annoying in cla.s.s, so.

Ive heard. Youre in Reika-chans cla.s.s, apparently.

Uwah, please dont say anything strange, Aira-sama.Enjou looked at me and smiled.

Yeah. But although were in the same cla.s.s, we almost never talk.

Indeed.

Because theres no reason to.

Shuusuke, dont cause her too much trouble, okay? Apparently a lot of girls are really lively around you.

I warn them, but its hard getting them to listen. So as long as they dont do anything extreme, Im just ignoring them. Reika-san, cant you do something about them?

Hah? Why mustI?

Because youre the leader of the girls, right? If you speak out, wont they behave?

Please dont talk about people like theyre the Grand Chamberlain.And also, the ones making the most fuss is Tsuruhana-sans group. I think the girls in my group are quite respectable in their fusses. Probably.

I do not have such power. Why doyounot speak out?

I do, you know? But if Im too harsh like Masaya, then they start crying, and it gets even worse.

Enjou looked a little fed up.I guess it really isnt something to be happy about.

Speaking of which, dont you have a cousin, Kisshouin-san? I hear that lately shes been approaching Masaya and getting into fights with the second and third year girls.

EHH!?

Ririna! What the h.e.l.l are you doing!I beg you, dont do anything thatll pull me down too!

My stomach started to really hurt.It looks like this year is going to be really troublesome.
