Yandere Ojou-sama!

Chapter 19- Punishment?



"Do you know that girl? I mean President Akira?"

After the small cold commotion between Kaede and Akira, Haruto was left with no option rather than leaving the class under the guidance of Kaede since the said girl came to fetch him especially by going out of her way.

Haruto had no idea how Kaede was in general which was why he assumed that the red-haired girl was naturally such helpful. He was indeed tensed about Akira's mood since she didn't look pleased for some reason when Kaede approached them, but Haruto could do nothing about it at the moment.

He was not allowed to contact Akira in any scenario unless an emergency sprouted and the emergency Line, Minami gave to him was also not something he could dial casually either.

"No, I don't. President Akira was just trying to help me, I guess."

Being a nobody he was naturally told to not show any kind of connection with the young lady until he doesn't join the student council.

"Is that so? Well, I would suggest keeping your distance from her."

Kaede casually spoke with her hands crossed behind her back as they strolled through the ground of the academy, toward the indoor gym.

Haruto frowned upon hearing Kaede's warning related to Akira but he somehow schooled his expression and asked in a neutral tone.

"Why though? From my perspective, President seemed to be a kind girl."

Despite how much Akira has changed in past years, in Haruto's gaze she was still magnificent and someone who was destined to be a successful woman in the future.

She might be colder and more distant than her past self but that doesn't diminish the qualities Akira possesses. More so, her beauty along with her skills has been only nurtured to a further extent when Haruto was away from her.

She was helping manage such a big company while being a diligent student at the academy, after all.

Kaede glanced at Haruto for once and saw the frown that he tried to gloss over but didn't go unnoticed by her sharp perception. She could quite read a person's body language and the changes in minor detail rather readily.

And same was for Haruto as well.

"I guess I would keep my mouth shut since I have a feeling that you won't like any reason I present against Akira."

It wasn't a question, rather Kaede was sure that if she speaks against Akira, she would receive an unfavorability point from the boy.

Haruto on the other hand widened his gaze slightly and raised his brows as he never thought Kaede to be reading him so openly. He was ashamed of being a butler who failed to hide his expression and also slightly apologetic toward Kaede for being rude as well.

"I guess, I like her helpful nature?"

In the end, Haruto decided to make up for his mistake by stating some generic reasons for liking the person but little did he think Kaede would tease him in such a manner.

"Fufufu...then I guess I am being liked by Haruto-kun as well, right?"

Haruto who was left speechless by such a bold remark faltered in his steps and was awestruck by the sight of Kaede who was tilting her head with a grin lifting the edges of her lips.

"I...I mean..."

"Haha...let's go, Haruto-kun. We have a lot to explore~"

For the next hour and a half, Kaede dragged Haruto around the school while showing him the different facilities of the academy and introducing him to club presidents on the way.

Haruto was foolishly gawking at things with his eyes wide open since there were things that amazed him beyond his imaginative capability. He has been to a normal high school the prior year so naturally, his mind over-exaggerated the technology and facilities.

Finally, inside one of the two buildings built on the rear of the academic block, Kaede halted her steps in front of a dojo where she turned to look at Haruto with a hopeful gaze.

"And this is where I generally spend my time in the school if not studying. The martial arts club is where different physical arts are being taught. The members of the club are really great and down to earth so you would not find yourself out of place here. How about it? Wanna join?'

Haruto already have an idea that Kaede would introduce him to her club at the end, as she always told a demerit or two about the other clubs in her guidance. Quite unskilled marketing to be honest. But she was talented enough to be respected by other students so Haruto was more or less aware of Kaede's reputation.

He primarily wanted to refuse since he had Kendo club in mind to join, but seeing how diligently Kaede went out of her way to guide him around and introduced some students to him, Haruto felt rather grateful to her. And naturally, the thought of rejecting her vanished in the process.

"I can't guarantee, but I will really think about it, Kaede-san."

Hearing Haruto's reply, the boy thought she might get annoyed since Kaede paid all such effort yet Haruto was not giving a concrete answer in her favor. But what he saw was a smile of glee on her lips as with her mood uplifted, Kaede responded in a cheerful tone.

"Then, I will wait for you Haruto-kun."

------------------------------------------------------------------

Downpour in the month of March was rather unusual but not miraculous to get amazed at. Most of the students have already left the school grounds just like Kaede who went with her family butler who came to fetch her when she was walking with Haruto.

The girl apologized to him and Haruto constantly said it was fine.

Nearly at two in the afternoon, Haruto walked out of the school gates with an umbrella in his hand as he began walking downhill to rendezvous at the point where Minami was about to pick him.

But just as he walked some steps ahead, a black familiar car stopped right beside him, making Haruto also halt in his steps before he saw the backseat window sliding down and revealing a very beautiful yet cold face of his mistress sitting inside,

Haruto first thought that the car was his cue to get on but suddenly Akira's voice gave him a reality check.

"Hand me the umbrella."

"Sorry?"

Haruto thought he heard it wrong but Akira's frown and the deadly glare made it clear that he couldn't be hearing more correctly.

He gulped hard and folded the umbrella before sliding inside the cover and extending it toward Akira who casually took it and passed it to the lady beside her, who undoubtedly was the head maid, Minami.

Cold rain droplets dropped down Haruto's hair down his neck as he hurriedly put his hand above his head but to no avail. The downpour was quite harsh today.

But what made Haruto freeze at his spot was not the chillness he felt from the water, but rather...

"Since I assume you hold a hobby of strolling around then how about doing the same right now, as well?"

From start to end Akira only coldly glanced at once toward Haruto before she gestured for the driver to move which he obediently did.

Haruto brought his hand which was shielding him from the rain down in shock at the turn of events.

'Guess, I really pissed her off eh....'
