The Unattainable Flower Called The Ice Queen of the School Reika Himuro Is My Pet - Chapter 33

This is the Moment of Truth

Right now, the training of a pet who’s acting insolently towards her Master is more important than trying to understand the incomprehensible words of the female students.

With that thought, I look at Reika, who is glaring at me as if she’s transformed into a demon.

『Oh, are you cheating on me right in front of my eyes? Is that so?』

My head starts to hurt as I read the content of the message that’s sent via the chat app.

I have no idea how she interpreted my interaction with Keisuke as cheating.

And since I can’t figure out what’s going on, I also don’t know how to clear up the misunderstanding, which only worsens my headache and dizziness.

Then it becomes clear that her earlier annoying attitude was indeed an act.

“Jeez, you’ve always been too hard on yourself. I don’t know why you’re so determined to stay in the classroom, but you should just go as far as you can. If you happen to collapse, I’ll take responsibility and carry you to the nurse’s office.”

Keisuke says this as he lightly massages my shoulders from behind.

And then we hear voices from the surrounding students saying, ‘See! They’re definitely dating!’ ‘This means Keisuke will be the one calling in sick tomorrow, right?!’ ‘Ah, we have to protect them…!’

As usual, I just ignore them.

『I see, flaunting your relationship like that in front of me… Well, if that’s your plan, I have one too. I’m really looking forward to after school now.』

For some reason, Reika seems to be quite infuriated, and it’s making me quite uneasy.

However, if I am to be her Master, this is the moment of truth.

If I let her have her way now, there’s a chance she could take advantage of me for the rest of my life. It seems like I need to deal with Reika after school with a firm attitude.

With that resolution, I quietly pass the time until the school day ends.

“What’s the matter, Master?”

“Well, what do you mean by ‘what’s the matter’…”

“You don’t have to hold back, you know? You’re completely smitten with my cuteness, aren’t you? So much so that you wouldn’t even have the space to think about someone like Tojo Keisuke.”

“Why would Keisuke even come up in this conversation?”

“Hmph, you still have the nerve to play dumb… Are you saying I can’t beat Tojo Keisuke unless I do more than this?!”

“No, that’s not what I’m asking, why would you even think that?”

Then, after school, as usual, Reika comes to my house. She greets my mother and sister and heads straight to my room.

By the way, it seems my mother has given her permission to enter my room without even asking me, so it looks like I’ll need to have a talk with my mother about this at some point.
