Chapter 87
With Marin-senseis help, I managed to get past a term-end exam. I dont think I did well, though. Thats why I decided I would enroll for summer cram school.I guess Im too weak-willed for self study. Theres just too much temptation lying around the house. Each time there was some problem I couldnt solve I found myself needle felting, or rearranging my room, or something else.Ive decided that if I like the cram school Ill continue doing it in Term 2 as well. So please, anything but the remedials again&h.e.l.lip;
The day of the last exam. It finished in the morning so I went home and got changed. Today I had somewhere to be.The post office. I wanted to deposit some money, and to buy some postage stamps.Its actually a small hobby of mine, stamp collecting. Its fun keeping some of the cute ones. I dont have anybody to send letters to, though.I particularly like some of the anime ones, or the ones with cute figures on them. I have some robot anime ones, and some with characters from picture books.There was also this Rococo Queen one. Naturally I bought some. I think youre meant to use multiple stamps or something so I bought extras just in case. Not that I have anywhere to send anything right now.I was a little embarra.s.sed because I was worried somebody would think I was cosplaying her, but I liked these the most so Im glad I found the courage.I hope Ill get to use them though. Aoi-chan would probably accept it with a smile. Maybe Ill send her something then~
I was wearing something more casual than most of my other outfits, a feminine dress with a ribbon below the chest. There was somewhere else I wanted to go today, so it wouldnt do to look too much like an ojousama.Before going to the post office, I was going to have lunch at a soba restaurant, so I chose something less eyecatching.Geez, Im so hungry. What should I have~
The soba place was in a mall building. Looking at the menu I found myself at a loss. Sansai vegetable soba would be good, but then chilled soba sounded appetising too. Aah, but it has to be tempura soba in the end!
It came with two prawns, and was delicious. Im glad I picked this. It had plenty of spring onion too, which is good for the blood, right?Actually it was so delicious that I ended up draining the broth dry. Mn, so satisfied!
After relaxing a bit, I headed to the post office, a large one nearby.The counter was packed with people so I got a ticket and went to browse the stamps.These animal stamps are pretty nice, but I like these traditional art-themed ones too~ Maybe Ill get a few of these j.a.panese Waka poem stamps.In the end I found some cute animal ones so I decided to buy those this time. I made up my mind to come again someday.Happily making my way back to counter, I discovered that there was still quite a while until it was my turn. It was packed so there probably wasnt anywhere to sit either.Ah well. Im still young so a bit of standing wont kill me.Just as I was thinking that, some salaryman gave me his seat.What a gentleman! I guess even j.a.pan has learnt the ladies first custom. Thank you, nameless salaryman.I thanked him with a smile and took a seat.Its funny how small acts of kindness can really pick up your mood.Not that I wasnt still feeling a bit ill from all the tempura soba I ate. I mean, I drank all the broth too.As I rubbed my tummy unconsciously, the lady next to me asked,
How many months?
