And so just like that, I was abducted by the Kaburagi car, and they immediately demanded the results of my spy work.
âHow was it? I trust you did your job properly? I saw Aira walk into the building after all.â
Oh my god. This person really is a stalker. So dangerous. And perhaps, also somebody with too much free time?
âAira-sama promised that she will ask Yurie-sama later for me. She should be contacting me in the near future.â
Iâm definitely not telling him that we exchanged addresses. If I let him know, then Emperor, now Stalker In-the-Making would definitely demand mine as well, and send me orders by email day and night. Thatâs just how stalkers are.
âI see. Did she say anything else?â
Hm~mm, I really canât say it, can I.
âWhat. Answer me.â
Uu, donât glare at me. Itâs scary.
âUmm, Aira-sama said, âthreatening unwilling people and working them hard for your own matters like this will just get Yurie even angrierâ.â
Waa, I said it. But this is what Aira-sama said, okay? It wasnât me, okay?
Kaburagi blinked blankly.
âWhat unwilling people?â
Eh-, could it be that this kid is an idiot? Not just a stalker, but an idiot too? Incredibly arrogant, a stalker, and an idiot. So a total failure?
âOi. You. You were thinking something rude just now, werenât you.â
âNo, I would never dream of such a thing.â
Stop reading my mind!
Kaburagi stared hard at my face for a while, but he eventually snorted and stopped.
âWell whatever. When will Aira be contacting you?â
âI cannot say. Perhaps on Monday?â
âHow is she contacting you? Are you going to go to the middle school area to ask?â
âUmmm⌠I wonder?â
He hit me where it hurttt!
âWhat the heck. Go find out then. What now. Are you going to wait here until Airaâs lesson ends?â
Donât joke with me. Why do I have to do that much.
âNo. In that case, I shall go ask Aira-sama on Monday.â
For now, letâs just avoid the problem with this.
âHmm? Alright, got it. Monday, right? You better not forget.â
âYes. I understand.â
Can I go home now?
âOh yeah. You got a mobile?â
âNo.â
When lying, absolutely do NOT look to the top right. Itâs what Oniisama taught me.
âReally?â
âMy parents decided as such.â
Kaburagi is looking at me suspiciously. Oh yeah. This guy can read minds. Keep calm, keep calm.
âMay I leave now? My chauffeur will be worried.â
I want to retreat before I let up anything else.
âEh, ahh, yeah. Well then, Monday then.â
âYes.â
The moment that I stepped out of the Kaburagi car, as though he just remembered, Kaburagi added,
âBy the way, who was that âunwilling personâ that you mentioned earlier?â
Flashing him a smile like Enjouâs, I said,
âThat would be me, of course. Well then, gokigenâyoh, Kaburagi-sama.â
Leaving behind the gaping Kaburagi, I walked towards my familyâs car.
*imouto*
I said it. I said it! âŚBut what am I going to do if he gets revenge.
*imouto*
*imouto*
*imouto*
Oniisama is coming home late today, so I was having dinner with just my parents. That was when the bombshell dropped. Otousama was smiling in a good mood when he asked,
âI heard from Sagami today that Masaya-kun from the Kaburagi clan went all the way to your English class to meet you.â
GEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I was wondering why he seemed to be in a good mood, but was that why!? Sagami is the name of the chauffeur that picked me up. He picked me up, but the reason he didnât save me when I was abducted by some strange car was because he knew who they were, then. And then he went and reported it to my parents, huh.
âWhen did you too become so close? Otousama had no idea.â (âthis is the father speaking himself)
âNo, Otousama. I have almost never spoken with Kaburagi-sama.â
Itâs no good. If I donât clearly refute him here, itâll end up in some situation where thereâs no going back.
âWhat are you saying? That Masaya-kun went out of his way to meet you, didnât he? Could it be that heâs taken a liking to you?â
Uwahh, what an unthinkable misunderstanding! Otousamaâs totally dreaming.
âImpossible. Saying things like that will trouble Kaburagi-sama, so please do not ever say such a thing again!â
Up until now, Otousama might have been hoping ambitiously that Iâd marry him. To begin with, thatâs how it was in the manga. Aah, what do I do. If only Oniisama were here!
âWhy are you getting so irritated, Reika?â
âBecause you are having strange misunderstandings, Otousama!â
This is bad. I can hear the footsteps of the approaching downfall. The role of being majorly shamed at an engagement party? Definitely donât want it!
âNow, now, dear. Reika is still at an age where sheâs embarrassed about these things, so letâs be more gentle about these things.â
Okaasama gently stopped him. But even sheâs looking my way with expectation. Please cut me a break~!
All of this is his fault! That Stalker Kaburagiâs!
*imouto*
*imouto*
Wanting to vent these feelings of mine, I charged at Oniisama when he came back from prep school.
âAnd so, Otousama and Okaasama are having terrible misunderstandings. What should I do, Oniisama?â
Iâm sorry for doing this when Oniisama is probably exhausted having just come home, but Iâll be venting my complaints to him.
âIf itâs just the misunderstanding, then itâll clear itself on its own sometime. Iâll talk to them and make sure they donât do anything rash. More importantly, will you be okay with the thing with Masaya-kun?â
I left out what exactly Kaburagi wanted to hear from Aira-sama. As well as the part about being intimidated. I donât want Oniisama to worry. The reason that I didnât talk about Yurie-samaâs thing is because although he really is a stalker, it still wouldnât sit right with me to go spreading details about somebodyâs love life.
âI think it will be okay.â
âThatâs good then.â
Oniisama patted my head. Hahh~ Talking to Oniisama really does calm me down~
âHey, Oniisama.â
âWhat?â
âOniisama, in the future will you be inheriting the Kisshouin Corporation?â
âWell, yeah, I guess.â
âPlease make sure to be honest in your management, okay?â
âWhat the heck?â
Only the sincere Oniisama can stop that ambitious Otousama! Please, Oniisama, protect my peaceful future.
