10. The Worst Greeting

​There was still some time until flower’s party starts. I decided to exit the school building and go out for a walk.
 
Heading towards the middle school building for girls, the building for middle school boys also became visible. I reflexively let out a simple response of surprise as I found a loquat tree on the other side. It’s the same tree as the one I saw in the manga. There was a scene where the heroine stealthily climbed this tree to eat loquat, yes, it looked very delicious as she at it so it had quite the impact.
 
I looked left and right… okay! No one’s here.
 
Being vigilant to my surroundings, I began to claw my way up the loquat tree. Although unbecoming as the conduct of a lady, I, really, want to eat that loquat!! If I finish climbing and eat in an instant, nothing should be exposed.
 
“Fu-un”
 
One way or another, I ascended… plucking off the plumb, orange coloured fruit. Courteously peeling off its skin, enjoying its fragrance as a start. Ah, the sweet smell of deliciousness! Next; the taste!!
 
Taking a small, delicate bite, the taste of sweet fruit juice gradually spread throughout… delicious!! The best. A flavour that makes one addicted.
 
Enjoying my fruit as I faced forward, I saw a window right opposite me. And just at the right time, the shadow of three were getting closer… Eh? No way, this is bad… I need to get down.
 
“NKaa”
“Eh….?”
 
Why of all times must the window open now? The crows are singing too… Thanks to that, three pairs of eyes are looking this way.
 
Hiiie!! What now!?
 
It’s impossible to deceive even if I want to. A lady ascended on a tree, in her hand a bitten loquat… and the eyes that met mine was a person with silky, light brown hair, behind him was two faces of recognition. No doubt, it was the Tengenji three-person combo.
 
“Red Rose…”
 
Someone muttered the name given to me as a flower princess. So I’m known even if the buildings we’re in differ… The worst. To be seen by the Tengenji three of all people. And looking back in my personal history, this is our first meeting… Ahh, these people sure are good-looking. Especially Tengenji, sparkling like a real prince. Amamiya’s honey coated smile is both cool and cute. Kiryuu’s looking at me in doubt but his face is still attractive.
 
Un, rather than that, what should I do about this situation?
 
Mutually staring at the other party in silence interrupted with a sudden gust of wind. My hair flowed to the back once, my skirt lining lifted boldly exposing a display.
 
“H-ie..!!”
 
It was a shocking happening.
 
The blown skirt stuck to my face with the wind blowing onto my thighs on full scale. My pants greeted the day.
 
“Hiigyaaaaa!!!!”
“Stra-Strawberry…”
 
The once who muttered was probably Tengenji. Pinning my skirt down in a haste, Tengenji from the building in front had his face bright red in a flustered state. Amamiya and Kiryuu too, goggled their eyes wide in surprise.
 
The worst. This is really, the worst!
 
To be seen when climbing a tree eating loquat, to have my underwear seen on top, not only that todays was the strawberry design! Ugyaaa!!!
 
“Delete!!”
 
Having my brain at its limits, I shouted the first word that came up as I jumped down the tree.
 
“Fuguu!”
 
… Landing failure. Facing forward, my face landed straight to the ground. But I was in no state to care. At any rate, I ran my way, away from that location. Really, what a day! The puppet’s prediction was apparently, on the spot.
 
I took a break from attending to flower’s party with the reasoning that I wasn’t feeling well after that.
