Ridiculous. It’s true that in primary school he had a cute face like a squirrel, but maybe because of the daily training, since entering middle school I think he’s gotten pretty sharp-looking, okay?
“Find out what kind of girl she is.”
“Mm~mm, if it’s just having a look, I don’t mind. But I’ve got a lot on my hands right now.”
“Exactly what problems do you have?”
I started grumbling to Sakura-chan about my troubles as a class rep.
“Reika, isn’t it because you’re so meek that they’re looking down on you? Go let them have it. And then maybe talk to Emperor too.”
“Eehhh~ I can’t do eiitherr of thosee~”
“Then give up.”
“Uu…”
They’re not causing too much harm right now, so I want to avoid directly confronting them.
“Reika, you have a bad habit of running away and binge eating as stress relief, so you really need to be careful. What about doing yoga? I’m doing yoga at home right now.”
“Yoga, huhh.”
I know the word yoga, but all that comes to mind is Indians in acrobatic poses.
“Yoga calms the heart, you know.”
Eh-, but your heart isn’t calm at all. But you’re scary, so I’m not going to say that.
Since Sakura-chan gave me some recommendations on yoga DVDs, I guess I’ll check them out later. I’ve gotten pretty sick of hula hooping, so it’s good timing I guess.
And maybe I’ll even open my third eye?

The next day, I went to have a look at that kouhai as per Sakura-chan’s orders.
From what I could see as I peered into her classroom from the hallway, and observed the surroundings, she was a tanned, energetic-looking girl. The complete opposite type to Sakura-chan, the archetype Japanese beauty. Now then, coming here was fine and all, but what do I do after this?
“What are you doing here, Reika-san?”
I jumped at the sudden voice from behind. When I turned around, I found Ririna standing there.
“What are you doing here, Ririna?”
“What, you ask? This is my classroom. Could it be that you needed me for something?”
This was Ririna’s classroom? Then does that mean she’s in the same class as that girl?
“Say, that Toriumi girl. What is she like?”
“Why do you want to know that, Reika-san?”
“There are some circumstances.”
“Well apparently, she’s a sports committee member, and her energy is her good point. I’m not all that close to her yet, so I don’t know much more. Do you guys know?”
Ririna started asking her subordinates instead.
Her meek-looking subordinates gave answers like, “I think she’s in the track and field club.” and “She’s cheerful, and has a lot of friends.”
“I see. Thank you. Also, thank you for getting along with Ririna. I hope you will continue to look after her.”
“Why are you saying that! It’s none of your business, okay!”
Ririna turned a little red. Hey, if you fall, it gets me wrapped up as well, okay?
“More importantly, umm…”
Ririna suddenly grabbed my arm, and brought me further into the hallway away from the others.
“Lately that Tsuruhana-senpai and her friends have been getting bolder towards your group but, are you okay?”
Even Ririna sees it that way?
“I am fine. They have nothing to do with us.”
“Take care, alright? If you fall, it gets me wrapped up as well, okay?”
She was thinking the same thing?
This whole thing has turned into something pretty annoying.
Anyway, I messaged Sakura-chan with exactly what I heard from Ririna and her group.
She replied, “I need you to continue your observations.”
Geez, I don’t think you need to worry so much. I’m sure they were obligatory, okay?
