Reincarnation of Villainess Noble Lady (Ch. 143-299)

REIKA-SAMA -236

Today was my long awaited visit to Wakaba-chan's.

As usual she had come out of her way to meet me at the station.

"Over here, Kisshouin-saaaaan!"

"Wakaba-chan! I'm here!"

I passed through the ticket barriers and trotted over to her.

"I do apologise for imposing on you right before the mid-semesters."

"It's fine, it's fine. I've been waiting for you to come over again!"

We exchanged a grin.

Wakaba-chan had her fringe pinned up today. Whoa, was this a challenge to the Rococo Queen!?

"Your forehead is out on display today," I noted.

"Mmn. My fringe has been getting a little long, so I thought I'd pin it up today."

"It looks cute." I casually played with my hair to bring attention to the curls.

The Rococo throne belonged to me alone!

The weather was pleasantly sunny today, so we chatted as we enjoyed a stroll back to her house.

"It feels like some time since we've just had a chat like this," I realised.

"It does, doesn't it? We had the class trip too."

While I did catch a few glimpses of her on the trip, with all the other people around we hadn't had a chance to just be ourselves and hang out.

"How did you find the trip?" I asked.

"It was crazy fun!"

Her eyes lit up as she began telling me about how she just had to see the British Museum, about how she saw a cat mummy, about how exciting it was to behold the mysteries of the Rosetta Stone, and other like stories. One by one she enthusiastically went through her impressions of the displays there.

Come to think of it, I had spotted her there with Fellow Stalking Horse.

"You know, I think I do recall catching sight of you and Mizusaki-kun," I noted.

"Yeah, we went together," she said. "Mizusaki-kun said he'd been before, so it was a great help to have him guide me."

"Lucky you."

"Yeah. And man, the desserts I tried in Paris were delicious... And wow, the tiramisu in Rome! And the gelato from this shop near the Piazza di Spagna!"

Ahh yes, part of the walking tour of Roman desserts with Kaburagi.

"Kaburagi-sama was your guide for Rome, no?"

"Yup. We didn't just visit the places I wanted to try. Kaburagi-kun introduced me to a whole lot of other places too!" she related.

I watched her happily count on her fingers as she told me about each of the delicious sweets in Paris and Rome.

Hmm. So in Britain, a tour of the British Museum with Fellow Stalking Horse, and in France and Italy a dessert tour with Kaburagi then?
