I think Wakaba-chan read my letter. When I was walking down the hallway she stepped out of the way and bowed to me.

Personally I didn’t really like the idea of her bowing to me but it demonstrated that she was willing to accede to the President’s wishes. Hopefully this would make things easier on her.

Mao-chan told me that Yukino-kun had fallen ill because of all the rain. Oh my god! The poor boy!
I hoped he was okay. They did say that he had a weak constitution.
Just remembering the little angel call me ‘Reika-oneesan’ was making my chest hurt now…

Enjou was in the salon so I called out to him on impulse.

“Ummm, Enjou-sama, is it true that Yukino-kun is feeling ill…?”

“Hm? You heard about that fast. Yeah. We had him admitted into hospital because of his asthma.”

“Eh!? Hospital!?”

It was that bad!? I thought he was just resting in bed, but now…

I grimaced as I imagined him suffering in hospital.

“Oh, it’s not that big of a deal, okay? It happens every year around this time. We’re just having him stay in the hospital in case.”

“But if it warrants a hospital admittance then is that not quite bad already?”

“Well, not exactly? It’s just quicker to have responders if he’s already in hospital. And I think he’s used to being admitted to hospital already.”

“Ehh!?”

In both my lives not once had I ever been sick enough to go to the hospital. I’d never ridden an ambulance either. Going to the hospital felt really serious to me.

Yukino-kun…

“It’s fine. My brother himself is just feeling bored from lying around in bed all the time. I visit him every day after school and it’s always complaints from him.”

“I see…”

He was only six still. It must have been incredibly lonely and discouraging to be separated from his home and family like that…
And hospitals had to be really scary at night… I hoped he wasn’t crying.

“Enjou-sama! If that is the case then should you not be heading there right now instead of wasting time drinking tea? He must be so lonely!”

“There’s no need to rush. He’s used to it already, so it’s fine.”

“How cold!”

How could it be fine for a child to be hospitalised so often he was used to it.

“Right now Yukino-kun must be staring out of his rainy window, waiting silently for his oniisama to visit him. ‘Is Oniisama coming yet? It’s so lonely…‘ Uuu, Yukino-kun…!”

Once I imagined it in my head I just…

“I’m pretty sure he’s watching a DVD or playing a game right now.”

“…”

“Haha! Sorry. Anyway, you really don’t have to worry so much. Today I’m going there with Masaya so we’ll be heading out the moment he’s here.”

“Goodness. Kaburagi-sama is going as well?”

Yukino-kun must have been happy to be getting more visitors. He did mention something about Kaburagi making a snowman for him, didn’t he. What on earth was he doing anyway. Hurry up already, Kaburagi! Yukino-kun is waiting, you know!

“Kaburagi-sama is taking a while. I wonder what his class is doing.”

I couldn’t help but begin tapping my foot.

“Well, I think he should be here soon… See? Speak of the devil.”

Kaburagi opened the door to the salon. About time!

“Shuusuke- Huh. What are you frowning about?” he asked me in confusion.

What was I frowning about?

“Kisshouin-san here has been getting annoyed at how slow you were. Right, Kisshouin-san?”

“Annoyed at me? Did she need something with me?”

“No, I did not. More importantly, I think you should hurry along. Visiting hours might be ending soon.”

“Huh?”

Get a move on! If you don’t…

“Kaburagi-samaaa! How about having some tea with us?”

See!? The President and her friends saw you already! Don’t sit! Don’t tarry!
Guohhhgh! Yukino-kun is waiting, damn you! Damn you!

I got the feeling that Enjou was giving a knowing smile to my side.

The next day I prepared a get-well gift for Yukino-kun. I remember that in my old life, once when I was sick with the cold my older cousin came to visit me. He gave me a fairy tale book as well as a letter written on a sheet with a cute snowman picture on it.

Anyhow, I was trying to get Enjou alone so that nobody would get weird misunderstandings about this but I was having a lot of trouble with it.

It wasn’t until after school that he was alone and heading to the car park that I caught him.

“Enjou-sama!”

“Kisshouin-san?”

It was showering faintly but I couldn’t be bothered with the umbrella and just ran over. Enjou covered me with his one.

“What’s up?”

“Could you please hand this to Yukino-kun?”

I held out a ribboned cloth parcel to him.

“What’s this?”

“A book. I thought it might help with his boredom.”

“Oh? Well thanks. Can I ask what kind of book?”

“Das Wirtshaus im Spessart. A fairy tale that I enjoyed as a child.”

“Fairy tale?”

“Yes. Eh!? Could it be that Yukino-kun does not enjoy fairy tales?”

Oh no! Had he already grown out of them by Year 1!?

“No, that’s not it. He loves books, so I’m sure he’ll appreciate it. Thanks for this,” he smiled after calming me down.

Was he lying…?

“Anyway, I’ll make sure he gets this.”

“Thank you. I apologise for holding you, Enjou-sama. I shall take my leave. Gokigen’yoh.”

“Yeah. See you tomorrow. Oh, and take this umbrella.”

“No need. It is but a short run away. Goodbye!”

I began running back to the school building.

Oh. Even though I told Wakaba-chan not to run, here I was as a Pivoine running with all my might… Nobody was looking, right?

Two days later I got a letter back from Yukino-kun.

‘Thanks for the book and the letter, Reika-oneesan. The book was really interesting. It was so interesting that I stayed up reading it and then had a fit and they had to give me emergency treatment. Just kidding. Did I scare you?

My favourite story was Das kalte Herz. Which did you like the most? Tell me all about it when I’m back at school.

I go to the hospital a lot so I’m fine. The other day Masaya-niisama came by and we played games together. When we were done, Masaya-niisama gave me a DVD for a zombie movie but I’ve been too scared to watch it. What should I do…

– Yukino’

    . . . That seems like a rather morbid joke for a six-year-old to make ;) Something something Poe’s law.

        H-how ominous…Y-Yukino-kun…
        I-Is this going to be the trope where the heart is stone-cold but an angel (read:Kisshouin Reika) managed to unfroze it?

        Uwaah I’m started to get anxious and finally doubting my cute instant-loved Yukino-kunnn nooo

    2. I wonder how many people saw her rushing out to him in the light rain, gave him something, and quickly dashed back, and then assumes that she gave him a present then bashfully escaped to hide her embarrassment?

      1. Especially since she had no umbrella, and when she got to him, he moved to cover her too…

        -internally laughs at potential misunderstandings-

  14. Did anyone else think that Yukino mentioned Kaburagi’s name on purpose to make Kaburagi looks bad to Reika? Maybe he’s trying to help Enjou knock down a love rival LOL.

    As expected of Enjou’t little bro, it’s impossible for him to have a pure white hearted angel little brother. He must be inherit some Enjou’s black heartedness.

  29. Reika, no one else is a brocon quite like her XDD Oh, no! Yukino, that poor angel…

    (shipping glasses-ON) Wow, Enjou has quite some obstacles in his way. First time I’ve seen a guy be both too young and too old for someone’s tastes. XDD Well, he seems to be ahead of Bakaburagi? Look at him and Reika, ganging up against the Emperor ;P And trying (and failing) to share an umbrella XD

    Oh Reika, school social rules don’t apply to queens.

    Thanks for the new translation! Have a good one!

    1. I concur,
      I think Yukino-kun got smitten with Reika-neesan thus tries to improve the pure image she has of him to get even more of her attention. Deliberately lowering the image of potential nuisances (Kaburagi) at the same time..

    Waa so happy to see Yukino-kun there

    And the story that Yukino-kun like rather good one too… (somehow I’m searching the story just because it’s Yukino-kun’s favorite…)

    But, man, Yukino-kun… looks like he is a little devil, huh.

    Can’t wait for the day when Reika-sama will dance in the palm of his hand… (oh, wait, she is now)

    (Ijk, but I hoping for your safety Reika-sama)

  37. Yukino already has Reika in the palm of his hand. He can even make her frown in front of the emperor. Hohoho
    Reika would never initiate a convo with those two before but for Yukino she did.

  39. It’s obvious what to do with a horror movie. Reika should watch the zombie movie with Yukino to have him cling to her shrieking “kyah”!

    Maybe the heart of stone reminds the kid of Enjoy.

    And it looks like Reika was able to avoid the conflict between the Pivione and Wakaba for now. But there was a price to be paid after avoiding conflict with Tsuruhana, will there be one here as well?

  40. Thanks for the chapters, Este-sama!
    Thoughts:
    #Yukino is officialy The Cupid.
    #Reika is developing Brocon on Yukino
    #Yukino and Reika have the same kind of brothers…
    #Perhaps Yukino’s fav part in the book is because it reminds him of his brother? He knows the actual personality of his brother behind that warm and friendly facade of his. That’s why when Reika mentioned having received souveniers from Shuusuke, quick-witted Yukino realized Reika must be special for his brother, or perhaps he has heard of her just never know how she looks like.
    #Yukino is fishy in this chapter wuwu but adorable nonetheless #WeLoveYouYukino #EnjouxReika ftw!
    #Poor Emperor getting thrown under the truck by Yukino lol goodluck bakaburagi you’ll need it
    #Enjou senior enjoying Reika’s behaviors in regards to his brother im sure of it
    #when is the next chapter gonna be? Why is it every time I read the chapter, the end came too unexpectedly???
