Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 98 ─ Toward the School Festival 1
“Ah, good morning, Jenny!”
“…..”
“Eh, did you not hear me? Good morning!”
“I can hear you! You’re being so noisy this early in the morning!”
It’s the morning of the day when autumn break ends and school starts again. I finished getting ready and stepped out of my room, only to run into Jenny in the hallway.
Dressed in her uniform, with meticulously applied makeup and her hair neatly tied up, she looked at me with cold eyes and clicked her tongue.
“Don’t act like we’re close just because we had tea once. It’s annoying.”
“It’s like throwing away a drink after taking a sip…”
“What’s with that?”
With that said, Jenny walked briskly down the hallway toward the dining room. Feeling a strange sense of reassurance from her usual demeanor, I also set off to have breakfast.
“Good morning, Rene-chan.”
“Hiikk!”
Suddenly, Julius hugs me from behind, causing a short scream to escape my mouth in surprise and a strange fluttering feeling. I began to break into a cold sweat, wondering where on earth he came from and how much he heard.
“Jenny and Rene, who so drastically ignored my greetings, had tea alone without me? Really?”
He totally heard it all from the beginning. I tried my best to keep calm, making sure not to reveal the topic of our conversation.
“You know, I’ve been really into tea lately, right? So, Jenny told me about these incredibly rare tea leaves she has, so I kneeled down and begged her to let me have just one cup.”
“Oh, I see. I’d prepare as much as you want, though.”
Seeming somewhat convinced, Julius smiled and said, “Shall we?” as he took my hand and started walking towards the dining room.
Even with things happening as usual, my heart continues to beat noisily.
Cursing my lack of immunity to men, I nervously squeezed his large hand back.
“Let’s go home together on the day of the festival preparations.”
“O-Okay.”
“It would have been nice if we were in the same grade.”
“That kind of breaks down the definition of siblings… Oh, but Jenny and I were already classmates as well as sisters.”
After a second thought, the darkness of Count Wainwright’s household is too deep. Later, Julius tried to enter the dining hall where our parents and Jenny were waiting, still holding my hand, which made it quite a struggle to pull away.
When I arrived at school and entered the classroom, I energetically greeted my classmates, and one by one, they returned the greetings. Just that made me incredibly happy, and my heart warmed up.
“Good morning, Therese!”
“Haha, you’re lively this morning. Good morning, Rene.”
When I sat down, my eyes blinking at Therese’s radiant beauty for the first time in a week, Yutte-chan and the others gathered around our seats, saying, “Good morning!”
Everyone seems excited about the upcoming school festival.
“School festivals are all about romance! It’s your chance for love at the school festival!”
Despite the many events, I feel like she always says the same thing every time, but I always admired her enthusiasm.
“Yutte, you’re really fired up. You’ve been exercising and dieting from morning till night even during the autumn break, right? That’s impressive.”
“That’s amazing! I feel like you’ve gotten even cuter.”
“Hehe, thank you. I just want the person I like to think I’m a little cute, you know?”
“H-How adorable… I’ll support you with everything I’ve got!”
Things seem to be going well with the handsome senior who sat next to her at the music festival, and just seeing her look so happy makes me smile.
“Are you not going to confess?”
“I’m planning to do it during the fireworks at the after-party.”
“There’s going to be fireworks?”
“Rene-chan, you don’t know!? It’s said that if you watch the fireworks together while holding hands at the after-party, you’ll be bound together!”
First the Destiny Seat, and now this, I wonder how many other jinxes there are at Heartful Academy.
But when you really fall in love, you might want to rely on as many jinxes as possible to try your hardest. Still, I can’t help but admire that kind of love, as I listen to everyone’s stories.
“Do you have someone you like, Rene-chan?”
“I’m still the same as ever, completely clueless. Even at the music festival, I ended up next to my brother, Julius.”
“It’s strange, isn’t it? I heard that seat has a 100% success rate.”
Although I want to fall in love, I have to somehow pass the rank exam first.
As for the school festival love aspect, I decided to focus on supporting Yutte-chan, but just as I was thinking that, the class president stood up at the teacher’s desk.
“This year, the festival will no longer have stalls for each class, but only for those who want to participate. Members of any grade or class are welcome, so please feel free to gather your friends and participate.”
“Eh?”
It’s way too sudden. I thought the best part of the school festival was making class T-shirts with my classmates and bonding over working together after school.
But what’s decided is decided. I resolved to just have fun with my friends on the day and concentrate on studying for the winter rank exam.
“Also, it seems that the top three teams with the most sales this time will receive additional points in the rank exam.”
“Eehhh?”
Wait a minute. If that’s the case, the situation isn’t just a 180-degree turn, it’s more like a 540-degree turn.
The additional points for the rank exam are too significant. It appears to be a first-time occurrence, as the whole class was noisy.
──And then, it suddenly dawned on me that this setup might be a crude attempt so that I could interact with the capture targets from other classes.
Mulling over the possibility that there might have been something more, I’m determined to participate and aim for a top spot.
“For those who wish to participate, please sign up by this weekend. The team can consist of 10 to 20 members.”
With that, the class president returned to her seat. In any case, I needed to gather my team first, so I psyched myself up.
