I'm The Heroine, But I Want To Hand That Role Over Chapter 28

28

Today is one of the fixed days I have tea with Miku-sama.

During summer vacation, we both had circ.u.mstances that wouldn't let us meet each other, so today, I meet Miku-sama for the first time in a while.

Though I see her at school, Miku-sama’s surrounding people are so scary that I really can't talk to her. My heart has a chicken's shape.

Our meeting today is in a stylish cafe. Where it seems like the parfaits are delicious.

So we ordered a parfait at once.

Miku-sama, a strawberry parfait, while me, a chocolate parfait.

In the time before parfaits arrived, I received Miku-sama’s report.

“Well, were you able to charter in a pleasure boat and go see the fireworks with Tojo-sama over summer vacation?”

“Yes. The fireworks I saw above the s.h.i.+p were even more exceptional.”

I'm sorry, Miku-sama. That isn't the firework festival date I pictured…..

What I pictured was what a normal high school student would do. The girl doing her best in wearing a yukata, visiting food stalls, looking at fireworks together, and then, with the mood turning good, the sandal strap of a geta snapping and then the boy, while saying, “It can't be helped,” carries her on his back, I imagined this bittersweet adolescent date. Is the perception of sons and daughters of rich people different? I underestimated rich people.

Well, it's fine, I think. Miku-sama looks happy. If she enjoyed herself then all is good.

It appears that, except for the firework festival event, she didn't go anywhere else. The prince's schedule seemed to not match. It's a pity.

However, Miku-sama, soon there will be the culture festival, you know!? There, you should go with the prince to look at the surroundings!

And when I said this, Miku-sama, while looking shy, nodded and said, “You're right.”

The parfait arrived while I made her arrange things early.

Uoo…..it's more bigger than I expected……. I'm alright, but will Miku-sama be okay I wonder.

I secretly looked at Miku-sama when, with sparkling eyes, she began to eat her parfait.

.....Un. Looks like it's okay.

Following Miku-sama’s example, I ate too.

It's delicious! I thought it would be sweeter but it seems like they used bitter chocolate, with the bitter taste of the chocolate and the sweetness of the vanilla, they achieved the right taste of sweetness. Iya mou, this is heaven.

Miku-sama and I, satisfied by the parfait, were full now.

After finis.h.i.+ng eating, I made Miku-sama listen to me instead. Of course, about the matter of Nao and Asahi-san going out.

When I finished narrating that episode from start to finish, Miku-sama’s eyes become round.

“So, it's like this…...Nao and Sagami-sama are……..they look good together.”

“........yeah. I'm vexed, but I think they match.”

“My my. Is RinkSan jealous because Nao got taken away from you?”

“........yes.”

“Fufuh. Rinksan you're cute.”

“Eh!? No, I'm not.”

I got really disturbed by being called cute by Miku-sama. Inside my head Miku-sama’s, “Rinksan you're cute,” repeated with a echo effect.

With this, I can continue to live on for a while.

“Even so, Rinksan, it's incredible, you were invited to join the student council.”

“Y-you think so?”

“Yes, that's right. It seems Subaru was invited too, but he refused. Thank G.o.d, right Rinksan?”

“Y-yeah…..”

“So the prince had been invited too……! That was close. The refusal of the prince saved me.”

“It appears Sousuke refused at first too, but still decided to undertake the role in the end.”

“I-is that so…..”

My behaviour become strange at the mention of Hasumi's name.

Since that day, I've been avoiding Hasumi. When Hasumi is in front of me, my presence of mind isn't there.

When I look at him, I have the impulse to beat him. I am not a person that holds grudges but I really find it hard to forgive what he did that day. Stepping on a maid's heart like that.

“Did something happen with Sousuke?”

“N-nothing at all…….?”

“Really?”

Miku-sama, who asked while tilting her head, was truly cute. But I cannot succ.u.mb to her charm. Me, don't lose!

“Rinksan, what happened? Tell me please?”

I'm sorry, Miku-sama isn't an opponent I can bear to not tell.

I whispered to her what happened that day.

Miku-sama's face changed colour while listening to my story. Ehm, Miku-sama? Your face is turning scary, you know?

After I finished talking, a sweet and beautiful, but scary, smile floated on her face.

“----I see. Sousuke did such a…….”

“Ehm, Miku-san……?”

“Don't worry Rinksan. I will properly tell Sousuke off, alright?”

“Y-yeah…..”

“Fufu…...I'll make him apologise for sure. I stake my name on this.”

No, I believe you, even if you don't stake something like your name, you know?

After that day Hasumi, with a blue face, came to me holding a roll cake.

Hasumi who apologized with an, ‘I'm sorry,’ and a tragic feeling drifting about, made me think he was more and more pitiful, so I decided to forgive him.

Nevertheless, to reduce Hasumi in such a state, what has Miku-sama…...

What exactly did Miku-sama say to Hasumi? I want to know, but I'm scared to know as well…….

In any case, looking at the state Hasumi was in, I vowed.

------to never ever make Miku-sama angry.
