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

REIKA-SAMA -266

The garden was humid following the rain, and the dew on the hydrangea sparkled in the night light.

"It's beautiful."

"We picked the venue with the best hydrangea." I see. They even look at that when choosing the location. I see several people here, but where is Imari-sama? "He's not here. Maybe over there. The roses are blooming over there." We walk to the back.

"We can see the stars now that the rain as passed. Where's the milky way?" Maybe we can't see it in the city.

Kaburagi stopped and looked up at the night sky. "It's probably difficult to see with the light pollution."

"I guess so." Too bad.

"But we can probably see Vega and Altair of the Star Festival."

"Huh?! Where?"

"That. The summer triangle over in the east." I squint, but I can't tell. Is it the brightest one? "Why can't you see? It's that. That."

"Hmm…"

"Didn't you learn in science?"

No! Stop! I don't want to hear about studies! I covered my ears and sighed. I remembered… I can't look at the stars carefree now. I have to make a last ditch effort to study with energy drinks now!

Kaburagi gazed at me exasperated, then looked at the stars. I gazed at the side of his face. He really is good looking. If he just shut up, he'd really be a maiden's dream…

As he gazed at the night sky, Kaburagi murmured, "I wonder how she's doing…"

"She?"

"…Nothing." He turned away embarrassed.

Oh? Did he think of himself and Wakaba-chan as Vega and Altair being separated? I shouldn't laugh. Okay, I'll follow up. "As you say, there's a distance as great as the milky way even after all this time."

"…" Kaburagi looked to be in shock. Oh, no… I hurt him by telling the truth.

"Umm… I wonder if Imari-sama is over there…" I try to change the subject.

"…I'll close that distance soon."

"Huh?" I turn around and the fool's love had erupted from Kaburagi's eyes. Ugh… I must have hit a switch… "Don't Kaburagi-sama. Please think of the trouble you may cause before you act."

"I know."

"Really…?"

"I won't lose to Mizusaki."

"You don't understand at all!"

As we walked by the hydrangea, I repeatedly told him not to act rashly.

"I know, I know." Does he really? "Hmm. Isn't that Imari-san?"

"Where?"

"There." Kaburagi has good eyes, spotting Vega and Altair.

"Oh…" Surrounded by white roses, Imari-sama was with a beautiful older woman. We hid behind a tree, but what should I do? We shouldn't interrupt them. We tried to leave when…

"It's beautiful, but I like red roses more than white," the woman stated to Imari-sama. Red roses… I don't actually like red roses after reading a fable when I was young…

"Yes, the passionate read rose may match you better." Imari-sama's fingertips grazed her cheeks. "Have you heard of the fable of the nightingale and the red rose?

"What's that?"

Oh! That's what I was just thinking about!

Imari-sama reached out to a white rose began reciting that fable.
