Chapter 11: A Cross-Dressing Boy Goes To The Cafeteria.
“What… what was that all about, that person just now?”
Holding in one hand the piece of paper with the SNS “Rain” address I had just been given, I stood there in a daze, watching as the handsome girl and her group of female followers walked away.
Next to me, Honoka turned her face towards me and spoke softly.
“Judging by how popular she seemed… I think that person might be one of the ‘Onee-sama’ from the third year.”
“Onee-sama from the third year?”
“Yes. In this school, any student who becomes immensely popular naturally gets called ‘Onee-sama’… I mentioned that on the bus, didn’t I?”
“Uh, yeah, that’s right. In this school, there’s a tradition of calling the most respected upperclassman ‘Onee-sama.’ That’s what you said, Honoka.”
“That’s right. Basically, there seems to be one ‘Onee-sama’ in each grade, usually someone who represents their class like a class president. So, I thought that popular person might be the ‘Onee-sama’ of the third year!”
I see. Judging by her popularity, she indeed seems to be the so-called ‘Onee-sama of the third years.’
But… Ginjou Haruki, huh? To be honest, I don’t recognize that face.
I thought I knew the names of all the famous actresses, but I’ve never heard of an actress named “Ginjou Haruki”.
Given how popular she is, she doesn’t seem to be a nobody… I wonder what kind of actor that senior is.
I have to admit, I’m a bit intrigued by her mysterious talent.
“Oh! O-Onee-sama, please don’t worry! As far as I’m concerned, the only Onee-sama for me is Kaede Kisaragi, and no one else! So please, rest assured!”
Saying that, Honoka, the girl with her chestnut-colored hair in a bun, looked at me with sparkling eyes.
No… I’m not worried about that, Honoka-chan…
In fact, I really don’t want to be called Onee-sama. I’d much prefer you just call me by my name, honestly…
I sighed wearily, whispering that in my heart.
Then, with Honoka beside me, we continued down the hallway, chatting as we headed towards the cafeteria.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Descending to the first floor and entering the cafeteria, we were greeted by a luxurious and spacious area.
From the ceiling hung ornate chandeliers, and the three long refectory tables that extended to the far end of the room were made of high-quality mahogany. The plush carpet beneath our feet was adorned with gold-embroidered floral patterns.
It was like being in the Great Hall of Oxford University… or like the dining hall from Harry Potter.
Faced with this sight, both Honoka and I couldn’t help but let out a simultaneous sigh of admiration.
“This… this is amazing, Onee-sama! I’ve never seen such a huge cafeteria before!”
“Indeed. As expected from a school run by one of Japan’s leading conglomerates, the Hananomiya family. You can tell they’ve invested a fortune in every detail.”
“In a cafeteria this big, you could lose track of where your friends are sitting…”
“Oh, are your friends already in the cafeteria?”
“Yes! When I checked Rain earlier, I got a message saying they had already secured a seat, so I think they’re already here… But with so many people, I have no idea where they’re sitting!”
Saying that, Honoka began to frantically look around the cafeteria, her head darting back and forth.
At that moment, a loud voice called out from the back of the cafeteria.
“Honoka! Over here, over here!”
Looking towards the source of the voice, we saw a blonde gal waving her hand enthusiastically.
Upon spotting her, Honoka’s face lit up with a bright smile.
“Oh, there they are! Onee-sama, please follow me!”
Following Honoka, who was pulling me along by the hand, I made my way to a round table in the farthest corner of the cafeteria, which seated four.
There, a blonde gal with her chest boldly exposed and a sleepy-eyed girl with a bob cut were already seated.
As soon as they caught sight of me, both of them widened their eyes in surprise―――――――.
