The next day flew by without incident, but with lots of activity. In the morning it was hard trying to establish a bathroom schedule to share with three other boys, but for the most part she was able to get by without walking in on another princess, or another princess walking in on her.
However, the rest of the school day went perfectly fine. Yet again attending class with her two fellow princesses Tooru and Yuujirou, who showed her the ropes to keep the hormonal boys at bay. Even inviting her to eat lunch out on the rooftop with them, including Akira and Yutaka. Learning more about the boys and the princess system put herself more at ease, for once she almost thought the job seemed fun. Once the lunch bell would ring signaling the end, they got up and headed back to their classrooms. Finally, the last hours of school had come and gone.
"Freedom!" Kanade murmured aloud.
Two small laughs met her ears as she turned her head to the right of her. Tooru and Yuujirou met her with a small smile. She greeted the friendly faces with a small embarrassed laugh of her own. Of course this did not go unnoticed by the male student population, that constantly hounded them for their delicate smiles and comforting dispositions. Ruining the dazzling princesses' moment together, they all nodded towards each other understanding what needed to be done. They embraced the onlooking crowd with just what they needed.
"Good work in class today everyone!" They exclaimed in unison, waving a hand letting the sensational princess power over take the classroom.
With their one smile and words of praise, it shot through the hearts of male students, truly enriching their bodies and mind.
"Princesses! You truly are too kind!"
"What would we ever do without you princesses?!"
"We don't deserve their beauty we are not worthy!"
More and more chants from other students filled the classroom. Some students even peeked into the classroom to witness this wonderful sight of morale. Abruptly, a ring from the loud speaker stopped all commotion.
"All princesses please report to the Home Economics room, I repeat all princesses please report to the Home Economics room, thank you".
"Home Economics room?" Kanade questioned raising one eyebrow and turned to the other two if they had any ideas.
"That's right, you haven't met Natashou-senpai… well all I can say is be prepared" Tooru grimaced recalling the first time he met Natashou Kaoru, with no dishonesty he could say he was totally weirded out by him. Well like Arisada said when Natashou-senpai gets too excited he shows his weird side.
"Nata-who? Be prepared? What's that supposed to mean!" Noting the face Tooru made, a panicked expression appeared on her face.
"No time to explain Kazuhiko-kun, you'll find out" Yuujirou answered.
Yuujirou grabbed her bag and began to pull her along by the hand, while Tooru began pushing her forward from behind. With only slight resistance they compelled her to walk with them to the Home Economicas room. A few minutes in, Tooru stopped his efforts to move her forward in the direction of the Home Economics room; although Yuujirou was still leading her by the hand.
"Uh… Sh-Shihoudani-kun? You can stop leading me by the hand now, I promise I won't run away" Kanade said bashfully, her cheeks were a touch pink, not used to the prolonged physical contact of the opposite gender.
He glanced back at her "oh, sorry Kazuhiko-kun."
Letting go of her hand gently, Yuujirou locked his golden-brown eyes with her sapphire blue ones, he offered his apology with a small but endearing smile. Averting her eyes to the side briefly and back up to his again, unable to stop her natural feminine charm she smiled sweetly back knowing it was an honest mistake and laughed it off.
"No harm done Shihoudani."
"Yeah, no harm done…"
Tooru just stood there with a rather confused expression on his face. Watching the exchange between the two unfold as if it was a planned scene. Before he could make any comment on it, Yutaka walked into the corridor from a convergence of another hallway.
"Miko-chan!" Yuujirou called out teasing his fellow princess knowing it would torment him.
"Don't call me by that magical girl name Shihoudani! I'm a man!" Yukata whined, creating an immediate outburst. "You must really hate me!"
"I do…"
A dead silence loomed over the four princesses, Kanade hadn't experienced the brutality of Yuujirou's teasing yet. Frozen in place she didn't know what to do. The color out of Yutaka's face drained until he was paper white stiff.
"Not hate you" Yuujirou finished, taxing on a mischievous smile.
"Shi-Shihoudani!" A stream of tears ran down his face, "you're so mean…"
Tooru came up along the side of Kanade, "they always do this… Miko-chan is an easy target afterall" he said, his tone marked with a singsong rhythm and pitch.
"Kouno!"
Kanade watched the three princesses banter together as they continued walking to the Home Economics room. Yutaka would say something, setting his own self up to the teasing and lecture from Yuujirou, and Kouno would chime something in. Or both Yuujirou and Tooru would tease Yutaka relentlessly, which usually would end up crushing his pride or dignity as a man. Yutaka whimpered, his eyes cast over to her direction with the silent look of 'help me'.
Kanade held her hands up, showing she not apart of the teasing ring, although the opportunity proved too tempting not to join in. "Eh? Sorry Miko-chan, I have no skin in this game."
That resulted in Yutaka's mouth left gaping, and the other two princesses burst out laughing. Eventually not able to keep a straight face she joined in laughter too, maybe after all she did have some skin in this game. The laughter echoed through the corridor, around the corner president of the student council Arisada kept a close watch on the quartet. Smiling to himself, perhaps the new addition to the princesses would prove even better than what he planned out in his mastermind of a head.
