The Villainess Reika-sama

[72]

Winter came, and I began seriously studying for my entrance exams. I know it doesn't really matter in an elevator school, but well, may as well.
Once I enter the high school section, the newly arrived External Students will drop my rankings even lower, after all. I have to start studying now to prepare.

And so today, once again, I was studying with my home tutor.
Since Karin-sensei was looking for a job now and quit her role as tutor, the one teaching me was her younger sister, Marin-sensei. Just like Karin-sensei, she's a student at a national university. These sisters sure are smart~

"At this rate, I think you'll definitely pass your internal exams."

"Really?"

"If you continue studying like this until the last day, that is."

I see~ But if you tell me something like that I'll get lazy in no time, so please don't praise me so much.
Procrastination has been engraved in my karma since my previous life.

"Speaking of which, I rarely ever do see your Oniisama, Reika-sama."

"Yes, now that you mention it."

Ever since his coming-of-age ceremony, Oniisama has been busy with both school and our family business, so things have been hectic for him. Most of the time he isn't even back in time for dinner so I can't just casually ask him to play anymore.
But even though Oniisama is so busy that he can never get home in time for dinner, why is it that Otousama never comes home late? Otousama, aren't you overworking Oniisama?
*gasp!* Could it be that he found some fraud and has been busy with the cover-up!? That has to be it. Try your best, Oniisama!
I'll make him a bentou sometime. A hand-made bentou filled with his little sister's love. I'll bet he'll be happy. I'll use sakura denbu to draw a heart on the rice.

Get ready for a surprise, uu-pft-pft. Bentou drawings should be a good challenge for me.

"Your Oniisama is so dreamy. From all the rumours I hear, I can't even imagine that he's younger than my sister!"

"My."

I had no idea. Marin-sensei was actually the type who loves celebrity gossip?
But Oniisama really is dreamy. When he studies or reads books he puts on his glasses, and always looks really intellectual. As a fan of pretty boys with glasses, it really sends my heart beating.

"Is Oniisama your type, Marin-sensei?"

"Well, it's a bit hard to say this but Takateru-sama is for viewing and admiration. If I was looking for a boyfriend, I'd go for somebody more normal."

"Is there somebody like that in mind!?"

"Well, no. But I guess there's a guy in my grade who's been going after me~? He's the opposite of my type though. It's a bit embarrassing, but I prefer guys more like the vocalists in visual kei bands."

"Goodness~ So you prefer skinny and fair-skinned guys in leather?"

"Yeah. It's embarrassing though."

You say you prefer normal guys, and then go for visual kei singers?
What a surprising side to a studious girl like her.

"By the way, what's your type, Reika-sama?"

"Eh... Just what, I wonder. Perhaps somebody earnest and kind."

I'm not sure since I haven't liked anybody since Tomoe-senpai.
Sometimes I hear Juliet-Kasumi-senpai brag about him though. How nice~ Everyone seems to be so happy.

"The guy who's been coming after me is earnest too but, he's kinda... overwhelming."

"Is he troubling you? In that case, what if you got on a boat with him at Inokashira Park?"
