Hi guys! Looking for experienced cleaners, redrawers or type-setters to help with the Tashinami scanlations.

Please contribute: http://kenkyokenjitsu.wikia.com

A suikinkutsu (水琴窟, literally “water koto cave”) is a type of Japanese garden ornament and music device.

Ever since that day, Kaburagi seemed to think that he couldn’t protect Wakaba-chan without gaining proper control over the Pivoine.

He seemed a little more aware of his position than before.

Only a little more though.

Still, Enjou helped him out where necessary, so the era of President Kaburagi was finally here.

Probably.

*

The day of graduation for Youko-sama and the third years had come.

I wasn’t so optimistic to think that things would calm down because of that.

The elitists in the Pivoine were still strongly influenced by her.

Even if Kaburagi had a lot of support because of his charisma, I doubted it was so easy to deal with the antipathy towards Wakaba-chan.

Actually, the more people liked Kaburagi, the more they would disapprove of a commoner External Student as his girlfriend.

If you can’t be with the person you adore, then you wanted the person they chose to at least be somebody so wonderful that you could never compare.

It was a self-involved line of thought, but plenty of people thought that way.

I mean, in my opinion it wasn’t anyone else’s business who somebody had feelings for, but it wasn’t like I couldn’t understand at least a little.

If Oniisama introduced some strange lady as his girlfriend I really doubted I could be so magnanimous as to accept her.

In fact I’d definitely get in her way.

Also I’d probably be disappointed about how little taste Oniisama had.

Ah, no, no, I still believe that Oniisama will bring home somebody wonderful, okay?

While I was thinking about that, the ceremony had continued.

Kaburagi walked to the podium.

He was giving the farewell address this year.

Since he was the President of the Pivoine as well, he was perfect for it.

He looked really dignified up there, voice projected through the auditorium.

Graduates, younger students, and even some of the parents were sighing in admiration.

From the outside he was outstanding after all.

A shame about the inside.

Given that the majority of Zui’ran students stayed here most of their schooling life, there wasn’t much in the way of crying at either the primary or middle school graduation ceremonies.

On the other hand, that meant that the high school graduation signified a separation with some of the same people you’d grown up with, so here and there you could hear sniffling.

*

*

Now that the ceremony had finished, people were leaving the auditorium.

“Youko-sama, congratulations on graduating.”

Other members of the Pivoine were also handing flowers to the upperclassmen in it.

“Thank you. Everyone, please take care of the Pivoine after we’re gone.”

We nodded obediently.

Alumni sometimes still showed up at parties, but this was still the end in a lot of ways.

“Reika-sama, I hope that you’ll support Kaburagi-sama as well. Please lead the girls of Zui’ran.”

“I will.”

Although in my opinion supporting Kaburagi was Enjou’s job.

Ah well, just nod along, Reika.

Kaburagi was wearing a rare smile as he and Enjou congratulated our senpai on graduating, much to their delight.

No matter how deplorable he might have been, Kaburagi was still the son of a distinguished family.

He knew how to do at least this much.

As for Youko-sama, the members of the Pivoine who particularly adored her had gathered around as she instructed them on something or other, before leaving the school.

*

*

Right on the heels of the graduation ceremony were more tests.

I know it might not have looked like it, but I really did my best.

Every day I secretly exhausted myself studying.

I had asked Wakaba-chan when she studied, and she told me usually in the morning and evening on the train.

Desperately, I even went out of my way during the weekend to study with flashcards on the train.

Ririna who had great grades without trying had also mentioned studying on the car to school.

Did the movement from transport help you remember things or something?

All it did was make my drowsy.

Anyway, the point was that I studied really hard, okay?

All for the sake of regaining my glory on the ranking boards.

To be honest I was actually pretty depressed about my marks dropping back in Term 2.

I had been really hoping to get good marks near Christmas.

Huh? Why?

Because I could use them to get Christmas presents.

Not that my family didn’t buy me presents every year.

But that wasn’t what I wanted.

I wanted Oniisama to say, “Reika, here’s a present for trying so hard on your tests.”

I love being praised.

I really got a wake-up call when I saw the rankings without my name.

‘Why are you messing around during the most important tests of the year?’ I thought.

That’s why I studied like mad this time.

White Day was coming up soon, after all!

And the results of all that effort?

Rank 29.

I just barely made it…

The wall of rank 25 was too crazy for me.

I mean, I suppose 29 counted as pretty decent at Zui’ran, but I’d have a hard time measuring up at a national school.

Over the next year, students everywhere else were really going to kick into gear to study for their university entrance exams.

I still wasn’t sure if I wanted to go to a national university or Zui’ran’s.

Although considering how little I liked pain and effort, Zui’ran was looking pretty attractive.

Plus, Kaburagi wasn’t my enemy at the moment, and neither Otousama nor Oniisama seemed to be doing too badly at work.

Maybe I could change up my goals.

*

I had my end-of-year report card sandwiched in my textbook as I waited for Oniisama to come home.

When he did, he had company in the form of Imari-sama.

Yaay, Imari-samaa!

Ah, but then I couldn’t boast about my marks in front of him.

I was planning on ‘accidentally’ letting it slip from my textbook.

Ah well, Plan Textbook could wait until tomorrow then.

“Good evening, Reika-chan. Thanks for the Valentine’s chocolate. It was great!”

“Gokigen’yoh, Imari-sama. Thank you instead for the wonderful return gift.”

“No, no, it was my pleasure. You’re great at making desserts, aren’t you. When I think about how Takateru gets to eat your delicious, love-filled chocolates every year I start to get pretty jealous.”

“My~”

Guhuhu, thank you, Wakaba-chan, Kanta-kun.

I know that was half flattery, but compliments are so nice to hear.

Although Oniisama looked like he had eaten something bitter.

“Anyway, the reason I’m here today is actually because there was something I wanted to give you,” he said, before presenting me with a bag. “Here, it’s a little early, but Happy White Day.”

“Goodness. You have already given me something wonderful for the Valentine’s chocolate! Is this all right?”

“Of course it is.”

Oh! Honey candies from that famous honey store.

“These are acacia candies and eucalyptus honey candies! They look wonderful.”

“You like honey, don’t you, Reika-chan? That’s why I thought about going with these. Do you like them?”

“I love them. Thank you!”

“There’s actually one more thing.”

Imari-sama placed a square box onto my hand.

I opened it up to find a silver ball inside.

Some kind of modern art?

“What is it?”

“My, my, what indeed? Pick it up and give it a shake.”

I did as told, and the globe chimed melodiously.

“Waah!”

“They call it a spherical music box. It chimes when you shake it. Sounds great, doesn’t it?”

“It does. It sounds like a suikinkutsu.”

I shook it against my ear.

Aah, it was so lovely.

“You have exams this year, don’t you? When you’re tired, give it a listen. Okay?” he smiled as he tilted his head.

S-So dazzling!

Haaahh…

This was truly what it meant to be the village chief of the Casanova Village.

I was going to hold this when I studied!

“If that’s all, go home,” Oniisama said coldly, before shooing him out.

You should at least get your friend some tea, Oniisama.

*

The next day, I executed Plan Textbook, and not only did I extract a White Day present from him, he also promised to take me out to eat sometime.

Mmhuu~

But he didn’t say on White Day.

Hey, Oniisama.

Don’t tell me you’ve actually got a secret girlfriend you’re hiding from me?

          …Passable woman. Probably the only woman easily approved by Reika.

          But what if there’s a plot twist hidden here? What if…Yuiko is actually Onii-sama’s lover? Fufu. Or Imari’s mysterious girlfriend probably.

If Kaburagi is still fixated with her and then Takateru is revealed as her lover, can Kaburagi touch Oniisama? Will Oniisama reveal his true self and destroy Kaburagi? Find out on the next episode of dragon ball.

    Still how nice it would have been if the girlfriend turns out to be Wakaba-Chan✨✨✨ Or so is my overly delusional head thinks. But with this Youko-sama’s Gone—but her influence’s prolly still there, sticking right into some Pivoine’s so called “regal-ness”🌚Sigh, I feel like another ominous even is gonna happen to our Reika-sama. Thanks for the chaaaapter!!!!!

  11. Sighing I looked at Yukino in annoyance, he was being bratty, whining non stop about the letter, he had been waiting impatiently since it was from his beloved Reika-oneesan, I had it in my hands waving it in front of Yukino. I honestly didnt want to give it to him, he snaps his fingers and Reika is like a puppy happy to come at his beck and call, well, pfft, little brat, just how the heck did you con Reika into thinking you were an adorable angel!

    “Make sure to thank Kisshouin san when next you see her alright” Yukino nodded vigorously snatching the letter from my hand.
    “Too slow” as I pulled it out of reach, petty I know, but this is unfair, I want a Reika puppy too! Yukinos face puckered, as he glared at me, sighing I gave him his treasured possession, I watched his pale face brighten, reading intently every word Reika wrote as though commiting them to memory.

    “Reika-oneesan bakes desserts as well! her chirashizushi was delicious! I bet her desserts are just as wonderful!”
    I can read your mind little brother, you want her to cook something else for you! so greedy, although Yukino was right, it was indeed delicious, just knowing her hands touched this in preparation was enough to make me salivate… however, I also remember the cuts on her hands, thankfully no new ones appeared at the birthday party, thinking of Reika hurting herself for his brothers sake made him scowl.

    Valentines was coming up, is she perhaps going to make homemade Valentine gifts? will that flashy looking Imari sama be the recipient? thinking about that made me scowl even more, looking at Yukino I can imagine him yearning for such treats from her, but I didnt want him to turn into another Masaya, Shuddering, imagining Yukino doing that would be horrifying, I must protect you from such a fate little brother, please understand, Im not jealous, not at all.

    Yurie always gave Masaya Valentines chocolates, for a sweets addict like him that was crack cocaine, he was seduced with his stomach first, his descent into Bakahood was profound, if Reika did this for Yukino, wouldnt he become like that too? he already loved her deeply, she was his most cherished person, her care and consideration of Yukino was genuine, what should I do I wonder? I knew that Reika would happily buy Yukino Valentines chocolates if I asked, Enjous eyes narrowed with resentment, hah! I have yet to receive any such treat from her, Ive known her longer yet.. year after year, nothing.. as it stands Ive had to bait her with Yukino to get any attention at all..

    I looked down at Yukino who was smiling at something Reika wrote, a scowl appearing on my face, I quickly smoothed my frown, I will endeavor to make absolutely sure that nothing becomes of your heartfelt feelings for Reika my dear little brother..

    Oniisama Pov

    I have noticed a certain boy looking at my little sister, its very sly, almost as though he were only scanning the room, but at every turn his eyes zeroed in on Reika, I recalled his name was Enjou Shuuske, a prominent family with very good pedigree, he apparently was a talented student, always scoring in the top 5, although my Mother had her eyes on the Kaburagi heir, this fellow was just as suitable to become a fiance candidate for Reika.

    I narrowed my eyes as I caught him again looking at Reika, is the boy interested in her? I watched my sister as she darted here and there like a social butterfly, finally the two met, and exchanged greetings. It was completely obvious that Reika who wore her Ojousama mask perfectly, was tense, she had an expression of “I want to disappear!” though carefully hidden behind a serene facade, my perspective, as her older brother had become acutely aware of my little sisters moods and peculiar quirks, I knew very well she did not like that guy, which got me very interested in him, why such a negative reaction? either way, he was now on my radar, and not in a good way.

    “Your little sister grows more beautiful, a ripening rose awaiting her chance to bloom, I feel like I should take her under my wing and nurture her into a …. Ooooff!!!” I knew that hurt, I intended to make it as painful as possible, as I elbowed Imari who stood behind me

    “Your Garden of Roses are all thorns now, thats what happens when you nurture them…” I was ready to give him another when he leapt out of reach massaging his stomach.

    “So violent, I was merely offering my services to educate our precious flower..” Imari gave a painful grin. “Speaking of violence, who has gotten you so worked up, you seem a bit on edge” looking over my shoulder Imari saw the polite couple conversing “Oh, is that the Enjou lad?” handsome isnt he, they look quite nice together dont you think?”

    “Go find a Rose that will throw barbs at you again, your company is not needed here”

    “Tch..Damn sis con” Muttered Imari as he walked away.

    “What to do, hmm what to do indeed.. ”

    White day was fast approaching, sighing I walked quickly home, I had an annoying clingy romance magnet attached to me, he seemed rather happy, I looked at Imari with a disgusted expression, no doubt the gifts in hand were for Reika.

    “Youve already given her a gift, theres no need to bring more” Imari loved to bribe women, always bringing unnecessary treats with him wherever he goes.

    “But doesnt she love that? its delightful seeing her reaction and expression every time! I never tire of it” He grinned while looking at me, ugh dont use that damn Casanova smirk, Im not a woman you know! it only aggravates me!

    “Go home”
    “So cold Onii san..”
    “Im not your Brother!”
    “That might change.. you know shes so lov.. hnnnnngh gah!”

    Is he a Masochist? Does that mean Im a .. ugh..
    Opening the door I see Reika smiling, it really did warm my heart to see this kind of welcome when returning home.
    “Onii sama, Imari sama!” It irritated me to see that warm smile directed at that idiot, Reika, you know hes a Man whore! dont give him such a welcome, she really looked like an excited puppy when receiving gifts, sighing inwardly I allowed that fool to dote on her a little.

    After kicking out Imari, I discovered she had done well on the exam, Reika its obvious you know? you want praise dont you.. of course I will dutifully, yet willingly do as you wish, patting her gently on the head, I listened to her fake humble replies, while looking at that pleased self satisfied expression, who do you think youre fooling! your tail is wagging! After giving her a multitude of compliments, I wondered what to do about my own White day gift…

          1. I Reika, have managed to achieve something my earlier self would not think possible, I found a Man, and also got married, no single ladies here guys! ho ho ho!

            yes, it was surprising for me as well, I had thought myself the forever alone Chief… lets not mention those dark days.. casting salt. I looked at my beautiful daughter in wonder, it was often the case that she and I would get ridiculous amounts of attention whenever we went out, she was almost a carbon copy, a mini me.

            I marvel at how large her head is, somehow that came out of me, Im still shocked by it. I was well sedated when she made her grand debut into this world, I have low pain tolerance, while I contemplated a natural birth I decided against it, so when my precious daughter was born, I had only minor discomfort, Arigato Epidural sama! My husband however suffered from the dreaded Couvade Syndrome, or “Sympathetic Pregnancy” as it is commonly known. Having your dearest suffering in your stead is quite an experience, I apologize sincerely for troubling you, not really… I had enough discomfort myself, I had no idea that a baby sitting on your bladder was so damned inconvenient and uncomfortable, https://imgur.com/gallery/d7n3eIH I spent more time in the toilet than anywhere else.

            I think about my Mother and previous Mother, I bow my head in appreciation and awe, they did this twice. I cant understand any woman who would choose to go through this multiple times, however, I do yearn for a large family.. perhaps we can adopt, although, when I look at my daughter an indescribable feeling overcomes me, I think I do understand, Okasama, you are a grandparent! your seal pup did well! I wonder about my younger sister, is she married? does she have any children? my vision blurs, tears falling while I smile thinking of her, ganbatte! be safe, be well I pray, thinking of my previous family with warmth and sadness, I wish you could see my baby, to hold her! you would definitely be so proud, I cuddled my daughter as fresh tears fell… Im overly emotional, its the hormones you see..

            Being pregnant wasnt all bad, I did get some benefits, first was food, I could have anything I wanted, no demand was too great or too small, rather than those gourmet treats, I, being a commoner, longed for those cheap snacks my youthful self indulged in, except I could do it in the open without any recriminations! 2nd was this wonderful pregnancy pillow! https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1bDAYLXXXXXXrXXXXq6xXFXXXE/2017-New-Comfortable-U-Shape-Total-Body-Pillow-Pregnancy-Maternity-Pillow.jpg seriously it was so comfortable that this is how I sleep now, its not because I havent managed to shift that extra weight I gained.. https://cdn.runsociety.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/17230112/Singapore-Running-Stroller-Events-2.jpg, you often see those fit Mothers running around the park these days, looking very fashionable, whilst pushing a pram, I think I will start doing that as well..

            Currently I am happily holding my 7 month old daughter, its surprising how she resembled a tanuki when I first saw her, that squalling gaping mouth, thick full head of hair, her face red and angry, I blamed my Fathers DNA for that, but now she has managed to grow into her features, and thankfully the only remaining parts of her tanuki ancestry is gone. I am grateful that I didnt get reborn into the womb of my Mother, how traumatic, imagine those uterine walls expelling me so violently, while being fully aware, thats a horror story, gah, why did I think about such things!

            My Family would come check on me frequently, all wondering if I would be able to care for a little baby, especially Onii sama, seriously what do they take me for? I had thrown out any ideas of a Nanny, she was going to be raised by me, I was so determined, and laughed in the face of those concerned expressions, of course after a few nights of baby wailing I thought it might be better if I get additional help, you can never be to careful, getting enough sleep is important you know.

            Wakaba chan would often call and invite me to come try out her new baked goods, she has opened her very own Bakery with Kanta kun, which of course delighted me, but Wakaba chan, those delicious desserts are still hanging around on me.. the devils temptation! but its alright, right? Im married now, I dont need to put on all that effort to lure a man anymore? I remember flicking through a magazine, with “How to keep your Man interested” turns out I still need to put in effort! tch… dammit.. I dont want to return to the forever alone village.. I decided to book some time with my old fitness instructor, do your best me! well, at least after I take a nap, yes lets call him later.

            Kaburagi sama is still single and forever chasing Wakaba chan, he has tried to confess multiple times, however he still hasnt done it, he got so depressed when Wakaba and fellow stalking horse got together, yes they dated and got very lovey dovey, that idiot Kaburagi was so dramatic, he looked like a fallen warrior with no kingdom to return too, theres no way in hell I am following you around the suicide spots, I got so tired of him hanging around our home all the damn time, that I contemplated splitting Wakaba and Stalking horse up! shoo Villainous me! shes better off without that Bakaburagi, flee Wakaba chan! flee!

            Onii sama is also still single, he keeps saying he hasnt found the right one, I have several girlfriends who pine after him, he should realize his manly potential more often and go for it, but well, being the heir has its set of responsibilities I guess, speaking of which, that Old Tanuki is retiring, ready to hand over the reins to Onii sama. I am very relieved, although he never developed into the criminal he was in the story, I still felt insecure with his leadership of the company, I mean look at him when he sees his Granddaughter, its disgusting, give her back to me you Tanuki! he indulges her every whim, shes only 7 months old, I dont want her to grow up like the Reika I was meant to be, she will be a fine upstanding girl with no villanous tendancies, this I swear!

                  1. Her whole plan was about avoiding a bad ending, a lot of that was based on her family falling into ruin leaving her destitute, she had aimed for an alternate lifestyle, one where she could help support her family, but that onus was left to her reliable Onii sama, who told her that her future was assured, he had plenty of funds so she should stop worrying and live as she wished.

                    She didnt want to work for her parent company, and I doubt she would want to do that for her Husbands either, I remember her mentioning how distant the employees would be towards her, she didnt want that kind of work environment, so she aimed for some government job, while listening to others with there plans to do various things, she realized she didnt have anything like that, she didnt know what she should study, nor did she know what she wanted to do. While avoiding the bad ending she seemed to have left herself without any goals to aim for.

                    Personally I think she would find teaching children or child care to be where she would be most happiest, it was a place she felt the most comfortable, a refuge of sorts to keep her out of harms way when dealing with those 2 assholes.

  32. My thought is that Takateru is a little but jealous and misunderstands that Reika only let Imari eat her chocolate when she became good at it.

    Maybe he became conceited or something, thinking that Reika will only show that radiant smile of joy to him.

    Triggering the thought that Imari might stole his sister calling him Imari-onii-sama or something If he let his guard down.

  37. “He knew how to do at least this **mmuch.” << **much (you have two “m’s” at the beginning of the word

    “From the outside he was outstanding after all.
    A shame about the inside.” << mm-hm, my sentiments exactly, Reika. tho one has to wonder, if he’s so good at being #1 at whatever he puts his mind to, why is he so TERRIBLE at the things that actually matter?!???? lolol

    “Guhuhu, thank you, Wakaba-chan, Kanta-kun.” << good girl, you remembered who to REALLY thank for your delicious chocolate confections this year. lol

    “If that’s all, go home,” Oniisama said coldly, before shooing him out. << 相変わらずのシスコンだな〜/ the same old sis-con as usual

    also, those spherical music boxes sound so magical and super-calming~~~ 😍😍😍

    thanks for the chapter! ^___^

  40. Imari-sama is pretty fearful… That wonderful gift almost swayed me to ship him and Reika-sama… Thank goodness I have some common sense! Dangerous dangerous. I really would like to go out and buy one of those bells now though, aha.

    1. That video of the jangling bells near drove me to insanity. Such a jangling clash of noise.
      And no, they’re not round music boxes. They’re bells. Music boxes my ass.

  42. “Hey, Oniisama. Don’t tell me you’ve actually got a secret girlfriend you’re hiding from me?”

    Ummm… wait a minute!

    “If Oniisama introduced some strange lady as his girlfriend I really doubted I could be so magnanimous as to accept her.
    In fact I’d definitely get in her way.”

    I love how the author hides tiny clues in some chapters.

  44. “If onii-sama brought home a strange lady I’d definitely get in her way”
    Don’t say that, Reika-sama! That way lies the Bad End. Geez, tripping a destruction flag after all this effort would suck.
    Also, the Bakaburagi burns in the beginning were vicious! Damnation via faint praise…

    1. I get the feeling that it might be Yurie or her best friends since at the beginning of the story he had her number.

  50. Oniisama was planning to make Imari eat the disaster chocolate of his beloved Imouto, but failed. Poor bitter Oniisama. Oh but, you’re not allowed to have a girlfriend now, Oniisama.

  52. Oh Reika, your brocon-ness will Pierce the heavens!

    The era of Bakaburagi has begun. I wonder if can enact real change or will he just flounder around confused.

    ‘It’s a shame about the inside.’ Completely Savage to Bakaburagi. I wonder what would happen if he knew what Reika thought of him..

    Gross. Imari needs to be gone. What’s the point of charming and gifting every woman you come across aside from getting their approval and maybe something more? Gross.

    Eep. RIP oni-sama’s maybe secret girlfriend.

    Thanks for the chapter.
