Chapter 3

Several days passed after Hana’s encounter with Yukizasa.

Thankfully, the pain in her arm had receded, and the bruise had faded to the point where it was largely unnoticeable.

She had intended to hit him if she ever ran into him again, but apparently, Saku had gone to talk to him in person and had punched him in her stead. Out of consideration for Saku, she figured she would let this one go.

However, she wouldn’t forgive that guy a second time.

She had steeled herself to be ready to take him on at any time, but realistically, it wasn’t every day one could lay eyes on the Sankourou successor, and the days passed by peacefully.

Then over lunch period one day, Hana was paged through the PA system.

“Ooooh, they want you in the principal’s office. What did you do?” Suzu asked teasingly.

But Hana drew a blank. “Nothing. I don’t think I did anything, at least.”

She was on her best behavior in school, relatively speaking.

Her grades weren’t stellar. That was a sore spot for her.

“They’re not gonna chew me out for failing all my classes, right?” Hana said.

“Well, it’s not a great look for the wife of the Ichinomiya lord.”

Suzu didn’t deny it, so the possibility wasn’t zero.

“Saku already gave me an earful. I don’t want to hear it from the teachers, too. Maybe I should pretend I didn’t hear it.”

“You can’t. If you don’t go, you’re giving them more to scold you about.”

It seemed that in Suzu’s mind, Hana being chastised was an inevitability.

Hana wanted to go less and less.

However, Suzu was right. She wanted to avoid a longer lecture, so she went to the principal’s office obediently.

When she got there, she knocked on the door. She didn’t have to wait long before she heard someone say, “Come in.” She opened the door and nervously walked in, her mind racing to find excuses for her poor grades.

Her gaze was drawn to the two people sitting on the sofa, and her eyes widened.

Opposite the principal sat Hana’s parents.

Seeing the two faces she never wanted to lay eyes on again, her brows furrowed automatically.

“Why are you here?” Hana demanded in a low voice, her anger simmering.

The principal stood and said, “Calm down. I don’t know what misunderstandings you have had, but you shouldn’t worry your parents. I’ll excuse myself here, so please make up.”

“Come again?” She scowled, not following what he was talking about.

He left the room with a smile.

Most likely, her parents had fed the principal a pack of lies. After he disappeared, laboring under whatever false impression he had been given, the smiles vanished off her parents’ faces, replaced with glowers filled with loathing, as if she was their enemy.

Theirs weren’t expressions one would give to their own daughter.

Granted, the same could be said of Hana. She glared at the two with an irritated face unbefitting a child seeing her parents.

Behind her stood Aoi and Miyabi, invisible but on guard. Unlike Saku, her parents showed no sign that they had noticed the shikigami.

Ah,
