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

REIKA-SAMA -283

I received an airmailed postcard from Yukino-kun at summer camp overseas. He wrote that he went downriver on a canoe and that he barbequed. He said that his arms were sore from canoeing for the first time and he peeled the vegetables for the barbeque well, and I could sense that Yukino-kun was having fun at camp. I was worried about his health at camp, but he seems well, so I'm glad.

But summer camp... It's the right way to enjoy summer vacation. I envy him.

I'm back to cram school again today. I think of this every year, but it's not a vacation if I wake up normally to go to class every day. After getting tired from studying the entire day, I need to replenish nutrients, namely sugar. I'll stop somewhere before going home.

I head to the coffee shop Kaburagi called me out to. That cheesecake was exquisite. I don't drink coffee much, but that was good, too, and father and Onii-sama both liked what I brought home to them. I made some coffee jelly from them, and it was delicious, so I've been making them often. Being called out by Kaburagi was annoying, but learning about this shop was worthwhile.

I open the door and look around for a quiet place to sit. What about by the grandfather clock…?

"Kisshouin-san?"

"Eh?" I saw a surprised Enjou seated in the rear. "Enjou-sama?!"

"It is you." Why are you here…? Beckoned by Enjou, I approach his seat. "What a coincidence. I didn't think that I'd meet you here."

"Nor did I."

"Are you with somebody?"

"No, I'm alone… And you?"

"Alone."

"I see…" We greeted each other, but what now…? Say bye and sit elsewhere? A worker placed some water in the seat across from Enjou, mistaking that we were meeting here, so now I can't move. I'm going to end up sitting with him. "You were enjoying some time alone, is this all right?"

"I don't mind. I'll enjoy some company."

"I see." Something like this happened before…

"We had tea after meeting in the Salon by coincidence."

"I was just remembering the same thing."

"Maybe it's destiny."

"I don't believe so." I ordered a cake set. Of course, a chocolate cake. It's going to be good.

"I like the coffee here."

"Is that so?" I guess that if it's a favorite of Kaburagi, Enjou would frequent it, also. He mentioned that he liked coffee.

"I didn't think you knew of this shop, Kisshouin-san."

"Kaburagi-sama told me of it the other day."

"Masaya did?" He looked at me puzzled.

"He wanted to speak of his summer classes with someone, so he called me out."

"Oh, I get it. So you listen to him dutifully. You're kind."

"He forced me, and I couldn't turn him down. He wouldn't take a no," I complained. "Not only that, he sends me a long mail message every day.

"Ahaha, I can imagine." Hey, it's no laughing matter. "And? What does Masaya say in those long messages?"

"It's about his day in summer classes with Takamichi-san, and it's more like a diary. What the handmade lunch contained, what was good, what they talked about…"

"That is a diary. And you actually read and reply to him every day?"

"If I don't reply, he sends more messages, and if I ignore that, he calls me." Enjou's was trembling. I just said that it's no laughing matter. "Doesn't Kaburagi-sama send you mail?"
