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

REIKA-SAMA -241

Notice!
The translator for chapter 1-240 has dropped translating this story, so I used/copy another translation to continue this story. Just wanna warn you, starting from this chapter you will notice some changes and different atmosphere or vibe when you read. I also chose this translation because it is more understandable, in my opinion. Have fun reading and I am very sorry for the long wait!

We moved to the small meeting room led by the evil spirits on my shoulder, and we found Enjou there.

"That took time."

"I guess."

So Enjou's with us today. Kaburagi remained standing. He pulled out a magazine from his bag. Oh, that's the ramen special that I confiscated for his betrayal. So he went and bought it again... It has post-it notes sticking out.

"The ramen experience you promised before exams, after researching, I've narrowed it down to these three." He flips to the post-it notes and points to stores circled with a red marker. Here, here, and here.

I bow my head deeply. "I respectfully decline accompanying you."

The rejected Kaburagi immediately asked, "Why?" irritably.

"Why? All three of these are in the middle of shopping districts. We'll be spotted walking around in our uniforms. I've stated before that I'm performing my fieldwork in secret from my family and Zuiran students." And all of those famous stores make you wait in line for tens of minutes. A handsome black panther and a gorgeous girl with curls sporting the uniforms of the elite school in Japan standing in line? We'd stick out like a sore thumb.

Kaburagi grunts staring down at the magazine. Enjou murmurs,"Good luck." Who are you saying that to?

"But I want ramen."

Enough to buy the same magazine twice, I guess.

Enjou smiled looking at us, holding both cheeks. Totally a spectator. Quit smiling!

...This is too much trouble. I want to turn him down. I don't want to go from the bottom of my heart, but from my test results, I can't use studying as an excuse anymore. After using that excuse, look at my grades. The top score versus the number of the dead. I'd be too embarrassed to use that excuse again.

I glanced at Enjou looking on, and he smiled as if asking, "What are you going to do?"

...

It was a promise that I didn't accept, but I did say I would tell him about ramen after the exams. And he solved Fuyuko-sama's psychic phenomenon problem by waking her up to reality, so I owe him...

"... If it's a ramen shop I know, I can show you."

"Okay, I accept!" He answered immediately and put away the magazine in his bag. "Let's go!" he opened the door out, and Enjou and I followed.

"Kisshouin-san's usual store? I'm looking forward to it," declared Enjou looking ahead to Kaburagi.

"I wouldn't call it my usual, but... I didn't think Enjou-sama would also come."

"I got interested listening to Masaya."

"Is that so?" Then why don't the two of you go?

"But Kisshouin-san really does go to strange places. What was it? Fast food, family restaurants, and a supermarket? This time, ramen. All places nobody else around us would even mention."

There it comes.

"I always wish to have a broad view of the world. Growing up in Zuiran's sheltered environment, I understand that my information is limited. This may lead to problems when I step out into society, and to not be ignorant of our world, I put effort into gathering information."
