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

REIKA-SAMA -206

Oh no, oh no! What was I supposed to do now!?

He could not know that I was here!

I shook my head furiously at Wakaba-chan.

She nodded in understanding before leaving for the entrance.

I'm counting on you, Wakaba-chan!

My palms felt sweaty, and my heart thumped while I waited.

"What's wrong, Cornet?" Kanta-kun asked.

"I do not want Kaburagi-sama to know that I am here," I said.

"Why? Don't you go to the same school?" he asked.

"That is exactly the problem," I replied.

Lord in heaven, please protect me!

Kanta-kun looked at me for a moment before sinking into thought.

"In that case, let's watch them in secret."

Ehhh!?

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious, so I agreed.

He led the way into Wakaba-chan's room on the 2nd floor.

"Kanta-kun, is this not Takamichi-san's room? Should we be here without her permission?"

"It's fine. Look, I knew they'd be down there."

Her window overlooked the back of the store, which was where the two of them happened to be chatting.

Wakaba-chan was holding a bouquet that she definitely hadn't had earlier.

I wonder if Kaburagi had brought it.

The two of us peeped, one-eyed, through the small gap in the window curtains.

"...I haven't found them yet. But I will."

"It's fine, already. I don't want it to blow up any further."

Mn?

From what I heard just now, were they talking about finding the culprit behind the locker?

Ah, but Wakaba-chan didn't want her family to know about the bullying, so maybe it wouldn't be good to have Kanta-kun here...

"Did something happen to Neechan?" whispered Kanta-kun.

I hummed noncommittally.

I couldn't think of anything on the spot.

What now.

Maybe I could distract him somehow.

"Say, Kanta-kun? Does he come over often?"

"About once a month to buy cake."

Ugehhh.

Monthly visits?
