The Villainess Reika-sama

[78]

"Dances are popular too but it kinda depends on how tired each class is after the hike," advised Satomi-kun.

Yeah~ If it were me I'd be half dead after all the walking.

"But there's been all kinds of dances too. Stuff from proper dances, to waltzing to piano music or something."

"I've never waltzed before."

"Me neither... Outside of folk dancing at school, I've never really..."

Folk dancing, huh. If somebody did like, an Oklahoma Mixer, I'd probably end up laughing.

Ah, maybe a Mayim Mayim would be more exciting?

It turned out to be a unanimous vote against folk dancing. After long deliberation, they decided on the safe option of choir singing.

They immediately went to practice after school but the kids from the other classes were thinking the same thing obviously, so it was quite a scramble for the piano. After all, whether for choir or concert performances, the piano is a key part, right?

The music rooms in the high school section weren't enough so I went and negotiated with the school. In the end I got permission for them to use the middle school ones as well.

"You're amazing. You got us permission to use the middle school rooms? Umm, I guess you used your power as a Pivoine, right?" asked a girl hesitantly.

Hmmm. I can't really say. When I went and talked to the teacher I was just like,

"Say, since you made me take up the class rep position and all, just lending me a room or two is nothing, riight?"

so I'm pretty sure I wasn't demanding anything. Mn. That sounds right. It was just a request.

"I should think it was because the school cooperates with its students," I smiled.

Please don't look at me so suspiciously.

Anyway, I was pushing for them to sing gospel music but they were like "We don't have enough people for that..." and refused. Hm, do you really need that many people? I mean, the Three Tenors of Zui'ran managed, so can't you get loud enough if you try? I was so sure it'd be popular too.

In the end they chose something easy. Well, it's a song I quite like anyway, so it's all good I guess.

After entrusting the key to the music rooms to the External students, I headed for the Pivoine. Just to be safe, I'll check up on the Externals once more before I go home later.

On the way, I bumped into Katsuragi Boy in the hallway.

"Ah! Why the hell are you in the middle school!"

I checked the hallway in all directions. Hmm~ Nobody seems to be here. Alright.

"OWWW!"

I sentenced the rude little junior to a facial noogie.

I didn't hold back at all so I'm sure it hurt quite a bit. Since we were the same height though, he pulled me off rather easily.

"What the fuck are you doing, violent woman!?"

"Is that how you address a senior? My, such a dullard, you poor thing. I henceforth name you Birdboy. The bird-brained Birdboy."

"Fuck you!"

"My, are you not satisfied? Then go learn some manners and I shall promote you back to a full human once more. Well then, gokigen'yoh, Birdboy-kun."

I walked away with a HO HO HO! when I heard the idiot call out,

"A bitch like you will never be worthy of Enjou-san!"

So of course I headed right back.

"W-What are you doing?"

Since he had his guard high, I kicked him in the shin.

"OWWWWW!!"

Hurt, didn't it. Even the legendary warrior monk Benkei would cry from a shin kick.

"Truuly such a cretinous bird. Worry not. I have no feelings towards Enjou-sama at all. I will not get in the way of your love for him. Society still has much progress to be made towards completely understanding homosexuality, but there is no harm in fantasising as you please. Do as you deign appropriate."

"Wha-, I'm not-"

OHOHOHOHOHO, I can't heaar youuu~

With that, I left my mentally challenged kouhai behind.

The Externals in each class continued to practice each day.

One time in the hallway, I caught sight of Wakaba-chan running around covered in some weird cloth, but, eh, don't tell me it's really some dress-up skit!?
