Chapter 23 - 21 - Entrance ceremony and Teasing Kaguya.
Chapter 21
"Shiori, Kaori are you ready?" Nanaka asked Shiori and Kaori who were preparing themselves before going to school.
Shiori who finished her preparation walk outside the apartment where Nanaka and I are waiting. Meanwhile, Kaori, who has not finished her preparation shout from her room "I'll be there in a min!".
Today is the first day of school and school entrance ceremony. The first day of school customarily began with the entrance ceremony, looking at each other class in the bulletin board afterward, then the introduction of homeroom teachers and students.
As usual, I am the one who would be the representative of first-year students because I was ranked first in the entrance exam. Incidentally, the one who ranked two in the entire year is my friend, Shinomiya Kaguya.
When she visited my ryokan last week, I had not said anything about me ranked first in the entire year. She did complain about which student got a higher score than her. Had I said it before She likely would feel vexed by that.
Even though I am her friend, no maybe I should say because I am her friend, she doesn't want to lose to me. In addition, she also has pride in her skill as the only daughter of the Shinomiya family. Unfortunately for her, these three years most likely I would be ranked first the entire time.
"Okay, I am ready. Let's go!" Kaori said excitedly.
"You seem excited Kaori, I think it will be like usual, though," I looked at Kaori who walking joyfully.
"Naturally I am excited. We're going to attend one of the most prestigious schools in Japan after all. In addition, with that noble house-like school building, the inside must be as classy as that like Shinomiya-san said before!" Kaori explained enthusiastically.
"Right, are you going to be the representative of the first year too, Shiori?" I asked Shiori.
"Indeed, Onii-sama. Naturally, I would be the one." She answered with a confident smile.
"As expected of my cute step-sister. I wonder why Iori isn't like us..." I said then began to ponder about Iori. While I tried to make him learn many things when he was a child, Iori seems uninterested in studying.
"Onii-san is... bluntly saying an Idiot." Even after carefully selecting the specific word to say, it would be quite hurt if Iori heard it. I can't even deny that because it's true.
"It is possible Iori's talent got absorbed by you, Izu!" Kaori casually said with a laugh.
"That's... Quite possible..." even Nanaka agrees with her statement.
"Ahaha..." I can only laugh dryly. I think even if I was not here, he would still be an idiot, nevertheless, he is a good kid. We arrived at the school while chatting merrily.
"Hey look, isn't that gentleman..." Student A
"That gentleman is!" Student B
"What a handsome man" Student C
"Ohoho, someone is quite popular,," Kaori said with a smirk.
"As expected Onii-sama" Shiori said while nodding approvingly.
"Fufufu, you really are popular Izu-kun" Nanaka also said with a teasing smile.
"Hahaha..." I smiled wryly.
It is not weird that many people here instantly recognize me. Students here mostly come from a wealthy family, and most likely every student here have watched one or even each of my performance.
After that, because the middle school section is on the other side, Shiori said "Then I'm going this way, see you later after school, Onii-sama, Nanaka-san, and Kaori-san." With a smile then she slowly walks away. We also said our greeting to her then after Shiori left, we continue walking leisurely toward the school hall.
On the way to the school hall, I saw a beautiful girl with her hair tied with a red ribbon. It's Kaguya. After I gave her that ribbon, it seems she always wore it every time she went out except when she was in her main house. Naturally, I know this from Ai who I chat every day on Line.
"Yo, Shinomiya-san" I greet her.
"Good morning, Shinomiya-san!" Kaori greets enthusiastically with a smile.
"Good morning, Kitahara-san, Miyazono-san, and Kotegawa-senpai," She said politely as she smiles.
"Have you known who is going to give a speech as the first-year representative?" I asked.
"No, I still have no idea who is going to do that." She answered. Hearing that, Kaori and Nanaka chuckle a bit.
"W-why are you two laughing?" She asked.
"Oh, you will see..." I said with a smirk.
As soon as we arrived at the school hall, we search for some seats to sit together. Because we haven't seen the class division there isn't any fixed seating place. After that, we just wait for my name to get called.
"Next, let's welcome a speech from the board chairman, Kashiwazaki Pegasus!"
"DON'T CALL ME WITH THAT NAME!" A man with kimono shouted but alas he went to the podium.
Come to think of it, I think this school's director also from a certain anime. It seems there will be more AU later. At any rate, after school director speech, it would be my turn. Not long after that, the speech ended and my name is going to get called.
"Next is a speech from the first-year representative, Kitahara Izumi-san"
"Hai!" I stand up and said. Next, I walk to the podium while smirking at the surprised Kaguya.
"Good morning, first-year students..."

After the entrance ceremony ended, Kaguya complained to me about why I didn't say anything about that. I answered I hadn't got the time to tell her before, and I can't tell her on the phone as we have not exchanged contact information.
"So, how about we exchange our contact information now?" I asked with a smile.
"S-seriously?" Kaguya stutteringly asked.
"Of course! Why not," I replied.
"H-here then..." She eagerly takes her phone, and we exchanged our contact information. Then she holds her phone tightly in front of her chest.
"With this, we can be considered a close friend right. And you can always contact me whenever you're lonely, Kaguya." I called her first name.
"W-Wha-" She stutteringly said while blushing.
"Why are you got so worked up with that? How cute. Anyway, you can call me Izumi too, you know?" I said with a smirk.
"I-I wasn't getting worked up! And I will call you I-Izumi from now on, be grateful!" Kaguya said with a rosy cheek.
"At any rate, Kaguya, have you decided what club you are going to enter?" I asked curiously.
"I was already a member of the archery club since middle school. How about you?"She asked back.
"I'm still undecided. I will walk around to see clubs with Kaori after homeroom I guess." I said.
"Then please try Archery Club at that time. I will be there too." She said.
"Naturally, even if I'm uninterested in archery, I will go there to see you!" I said with a teasing smirk.
"..." Kaguya didn't say anything. Just looking down with a blush on her lovely face.
"Are you blushing? How cute." I said with a smirk.
"A-anyway I'm going first then!" Kaguya said then walk away to her class. We are in a different class, incidentally, Kaori is in the same class as I am. There is also one more student that I instantly recognize in my class, it's the former main character of the original series, Shirogane Miyuki.
"Shiori, Kaori are you ready?" Nanaka asked Shiori and Kaori who were preparing themselves before going to school.
Shiori who finished her preparation walk outside the apartment where Nanaka and I are waiting. Meanwhile, Kaori, who has not finished her preparation shout from her room "I'll be there in a min!".
