When I got back to the classroom after lunch, I made a beeline straight for Kirara.

“Kirara, have you got a sec?”

“Sure. What is it?”

In the end, she hadn’t even eaten. She’d just stayed there with her head on the floor until Lady Kagura left. As much as I admired her courage and determination, it didn’t seem like her plan was all that effective. Lady Kagura hadn’t said a single word to her. Nor had any of the other Sky Salon members sitting at the same table; they’d all followed Lady Kagura’s lead and eaten quietly.

I had sat among them, the lone first year at the table and the only one getting worked up. As Kirara’s friend, I was starting to think I should have tried a bit harder to convince Himeko to step in.

“Uhm, I’m sorry,” I said, trying to express my regret for not doing more.

“What do you have to apologize for?” Kirara bluntly replied.

“I mean, I know you didn’t exactly ask for my help, but I still feel like I should have at least asked Himeko to say something, even if it did get me in her bad books.”

“Hey, like you said, I didn’t ask for any help. This is something I chose to do all on my own. I know it’s a little crazy, but that’s how eager I am to be Lady Kagura’s Seraph. There’s no other way to get her attention.” All the while, Kirara kept her gaze fixed straight ahead. Her eyes betrayed no hint of regret or self-doubt.

“If you like, I could try talking to Lady Kagura directly. Put in a good word for you, maybe.”

“I told you, I don’t need your help. You just keep living your life, Misaki. Act the same tomorrow as you did today. This is my battle to fight.”

Tomorrow? What’s happening tomorrow?

“Are you saying you’re gonna do it again?”

“You bet I am. Until Lady Kagura herself tells me to stop, I’m never giving up.”

I groaned softly. Her ability to stay positive despite being ignored so completely was kind of impressive, but all that tension in the air had been too much for me to handle. “But why? Don’t you think it’s a little reckless?”

Kirara raised one eyebrow and glared at me with loathing. “Why? Ha! You’re one to talk.” She jabbed me with a finger to punctuate this.

“Me? What did I do?”

“Of course, perfect little Misaki could never hurt a fly. Why, you have no idea about your own wicked ways.”

“Wicked ways? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Don’t try to deny it. Think back on what happened after you became Lady Himeko’s Seraph—and what you said to me.”

Huh? What’s she talking about?

I furrowed my brow and thought as hard as I could.

Oh, right. I know.

✤

It was the first weekend after Himeko made me her Seraph. After drinking some tea at the Sky Salon, we both went back to her room like always.

“Misaki, why don’t you stay the night?”

“Huh?”

I’d been spending time in Himeko’s room almost every day.
