REIKA-SAMA 084

Cream cheese is delicious with honey.Its great just to eat it like that but I like to eat it on scones. Its even more delicious that way.My family buys high cla.s.s honey from specialist honey stores without an issue. What a wonderful life.I wonder which honey I should have today. Maybe the lavender.I spread it generously on top of my cream cheese and then gobbled it all down with a scone. Wow. This is true bliss.Im feeling full with just one. But Ill have another just to be safe.Eating it two days in a row has brought about some terrifying consequences though. Weight-wise.Truly the food of the devil!

Anyway, while I was wallowing in my lack of self-control I received a phone call from Aoi-chan.

Oniichan is getting weirder and weirder, she said.

Ah, the muscley guitarist? Is he still playing every day?

Hes singing too now&h.e.l.lip;

My my&h.e.l.lip;

Her voice was grim.

You know, apparently he started this whole guitar thing after he met somebody he liked. And so hes going to confess to her with a self-written love song&h.e.l.lip; Every day he submits his own flesh and blood to his horrible love songs. Its terrible, right? All of my family has been telling him to stop but he doesnt listen. And oh G.o.d, the lyrics.Ever since meeting youTheres been a thump thump in my chestAnd my heart is light and tenderWho writes c.r.a.p like that. Some days I feel like I could die from the embarra.s.sment. Whenever Oniichan starts to sing my mum will cover her ears. Its miserable being his sister.

A self-made love song? At least it isnt a poem, I guess.Sometimes you see people singing and confessing to girls on t.v. but the girls always seem happy enough though. Id probably run away in embarra.s.sment, personally.But then its usually guys who write love songs and poems, isnt it. I dont think a guy would really want to listen to a love song. Maybe thats why girls make things instead?Maybe theres some male-only disease going around that makes them want to spontaneously write stuff like that. Scary&h.e.l.lip; Thank goodness Oniisama never caught it.Oh, but sometimes Oniisama does play Schuberts Stndchen (Serenade).

Its wonderful!Mn. I guess its better to leave song-writing up to the professionals.

Were somebody to suddenly sing and confess to me I might run from the shock. And what if the girl in question dislikes that sort of thing&h.e.l.lip;

Yeah. But apparently the girl he likes is really into music. She likes musicians and that.

Oh~

They takes cla.s.ses at uni together and he tried his best to get her but its been hard. Apparently that was when he turned to song writing&h.e.l.lip;

My~

Cla.s.ses at uni together, huh. I forgot he was in university.

Mari~ Mari~ My beloved Mari~ You have taken me pri-soh-nah~Good G.o.d, I cant take the idiocy anymore.

I guess he really doesnt have any talent. Wow, this might actually be worse than Cla.s.s Reps poem. If Cla.s.s Reps disease gets any worse, do you think he might start breaking into song? Anything but that, Cla.s.s Rep.Hm, but Mari&h.e.l.lip;

Incidentally, might I ask which university he attends?

Aoi-chan answered with Marin-senseis university. Huh, theyre the same grade too.Wait, no way&h.e.l.lip;

My tutor is apparently one of your brothers cohorts. Her type is visual kei musicians too.

EHH!?

Her name sounds a little close too. I cannot give out her personal information, though.

I see. Then it might be the same person, huh. Visual kei, though? Oniichans stuff is more like folk songs though. Thats totally different.

Well, it may just be a coincidence after all.

Yeah. Maybe I should talk to Oniichan though.

With that, Aoi-chan hung up. No matter what she says, shes actually pretty worried about her brothers love-life isnt she.Still, Aoi-chans oniisan and Marin-sensei? What a small world.

The next day I arrived at the salon to find Kaburagi playing Liszts Liebestrume (Love Dream).

EHHHH!? WHAT THE HEEECK!? SO COOL!!

The light from between tree leaves was filtering into through the window, and combined with Kaburagis amazing and emotional piano, I am ashamed to admit that my heart fluttered for a moment. No, Reika! Open your eyes!But wow, who knew this stupid horse riding maniac could actually play the piano. I guess this is what they call gap moe? G.o.dd.a.m.n, what power.Man, but Ill bet you anything hes thinking about Yurie-sama as hes playing. Its a bit sad&h.e.l.lip;Oniisamas Serenade is great too, but Kaburagis Liszt was also nice. Exactly what a young maiden would love.Pretty much all the other girls in the room were completely entranced. A true privilege of being a Pivoine member.I wonder if hed take requests?

After hearing Kaburagis piano, I was certain. Writing your own song is a bad idea.I messaged Aoi-chan:

The wise stick to existing songs. Writing your own is high-risk high-return.

The reply I got though&h.e.l.lip;

Oniichan cant stop his fiery pa.s.sion. After I told him what you mentioned, he became convinced that it was the same person. Apparently the girl he likes is the tutor to some incredibly rich ojousama. Hes changed over from folk songs to visual kei stuff and now hes even added weird shouts to his song. Oh G.o.d.

&h.e.l.lip;Muscles Oniisaaaaan!

For Aoi-chans sake, I decided to help as well. I was going to sell her Oniichan to Marin-sensei. Once the two of them got together her brother would stop playing guitar all the time and then peace would return to her family.I tried it the next day I had tutoring.

Marin-sensei, as I recall you mentioned somebody rather incessant in their wooing? The rather overwhelming one&h.e.l.lip;

Ah, I did. What about it?

Is he still interested in you?

Gosh, Reika-sama, what are you asking all of a sudden. &h.e.l.lip;Well, yes?

I knew it!

You said that he was not truly your type but what if you gave him a chance? I am sure he is a good person. What if you discovered that you liked him?

Eh-, well, yeah.

Indeed! If he suddenly begins singing to you, I hope that you will not run away!

Singing to me? I wonder what you mean. He doesnt have any interest in music at all.

What if he does now! Hes going to sing and play to confess to you!

Oops.

Confess&h.e.l.lip;?

Ah, that was supposed to be a surprise so&h.e.l.lip;

Im not sure what you mean by confess. I mean, were already dating.

&h.e.l.lip;Eh?

Dating?

Yes. He was just so earnest about it all that I couldnt help but say yes.

Marin-sensei showed me a picture of the two of them together. The man was a diligent-looking man who wouldnt look out of place as a researcher.Slim, and definitely not muscley.

Eh-, I thought you said that he was overwhelming&h.e.l.lip; And the complete opposite to the visual kei type&h.e.l.lip;

Aah, well, he just kept saying he liked me over and over again so it was a little overwhelming. And dont you think these serious types have the complete opposite personality to visual kei rockers?

Aah&h.e.l.lip; I see&h.e.l.lip; Ah! Umm! Were there any over men that were interested in you? Like perhaps a muscley man.

Nope.

No?

Nope.

I GOT THE WRONG GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUY!!

Of course. How could there be such a convenient development!What do I do. I have to quickly let Aoi-chan know or else.While Marin-sensei was boasting fondly about her boyfriend I got permission to send a text to my friend. Just as I was about to write something a text from Aoi-chan came.

What do I do!? Oniichans gotten into death metal! Hes even started using Mums make-up and shes super angry at him now! Its scary! How am I going to sleep tonight!?

WHAT DO I DOO!?

Oh man. Oh man, oh man. I dont think Ill be able to face her family now.With trembling hands I told her that it was the wrong person, as I prayed that it wasnt too late.

&h.e.l.lip;Muscles-oniisan, wanna join my Forever Alone Village?AAAH! IM SO SORRYY!
