At school, Heiji daydreamed throughout the lesson. He can't concentrate. Even the morning greetings from beautiful girls and his fans in the school weren't able to make him feel better.
Oh, great! What a surprise! Really unexpected! Just because of one girl. That girl.
And this made Heiji more upset. Why can't he stop thinking about her? What makes her so special, so that she seizes all of his attention? Wait a minute, of course he doesn't think she's special in that way! Uh ... the romantic way.
No! It was all because of her insulting answer!
Flashback
"The feelings are mutual, so ..."
As Kazuha shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, for some reason, Heiji seemed to feel half of his life as if leaving him, he's like forgetting how to breathe.
She said what?
He was shocked, completely unexpected, there's somebody who dare to say something like that, innocently and casually, right in front of his face!
Nobody, he repeated, no one ever said to him like that! Err ... before.
The feelings are mutual ...
Heh! What the hell? Does that mean that she ... hates him? Heiji's shock earlier, suddenly became angry, even though he himself didn't know, why he felt so strange like this. Bitch! How dare she! Who does she think she's talking to, hah?!
Yes, yes. That must be the reason!
By the way, this impudent princess needs to be educated in her mouth, so she doesn't talk carelessly! Does she think only she feels like that? He also doesn't like ... no, more precisely hate her!
Although Heiji's heart was very shocked and protested, when it heard its master say that, but Heiji's brain ignored it and instead ordered the mouth to reply "Don't be so big-headed! I hate you too!" He spat bitterly.
"Huh, what? No, wait, you misunderstood me. I don't hate you. I just don't like ..."
Uh-oh! Danger, danger! Her words were just like pouring gasoline on the raging fire. Which adds more harm, somehow, that sounds the same to Heiji.
"You know what, after think again, I don't care! I only know that I hate you. I really can't stand to see the type of girl like you, you little missy, who pretends to be pretty and pretentious!".
'Stop! Stop before you say something that will make you regret! Stop it right now!' His heart begged him, which of course he ignored.
'Shut up! She must know, who's the boss here!' His brain replied.
However, the girl before him remained calm. Her reaction only lifted one eyebrow in wonder. "All right, what's the matter with you? Did you eat wrong? Or maybe you suddenly possessed by something?".
Well, this is one of the greatness of Kazuha that Heiji can't help but recognize. Maybe for the other girls, they sobbed and ran away, but she ...
Wait a minute, did she just say he was possessed? WHAT. THE. F-...
"Never mind. You better go to school now, or you'll be late". Still in her indifferent style, she shook her head and turned around, began to walk away.
Okay, fine. It's enough! No matter she's a princess or whatever, the hell he cares! She's only a guest here! He will not let anyone insult him in his own house!
"Hmph! In that case, good. That way, I don't need to linger over your face. You think you're beautiful? Heh! Arrogant little lady!". Without waiting for an answer, and without wasting any time, the prince walked away, leaving the princess.
'You did not say anything wrong. She started it! Don't turn around! Don't turn around! Don't turn around!' Silently, he said those words repeatedly like a mantra, even though his feelings at that time raged violently.
What really happened, Heiji also didn't know. Why is he so angry and ... disappointed, when she says she also doesn't like him? Could it be because, he expected the opposite answer?
The next second, Heiji shook his head hard, driving away the terrible thought that had just crossed his head.
Hell no! Impossible! The world will end when that happens!
"Maybe you don't need to go to school too? Looks like today you're not well?".
Not believing that he actually got an answer, and the answer turned out to be like what he had just heard, Heiji turned around, gaping in disbelief, only to find that the princess in front of him winked witty, before she walked away while humming a little.
After the princess leaves, Heiji was momentarily stunned, rethink what he just heard.
He didn't hear wrong, right? She's kidding, isn't she?
'Hhh! Whatever!' Shaking his head once more, Heiji decided it was better to go to school now.
End of flashback
You see, so that's how it is. With an uncomfortable feeling, Heiji finally was at school, trapped all day with his mind wandering anywhere but to study. He ...
RIIINNNGGG ...
Well, just see what he said. Suddenly the bell as a sign of resting time has rang.
Yep, rest is what he needs now. He can buy his favorite bento, then spend time chatting with the girls and admired by his other colleagues ... Ah, he can't wait anymore! He only needs to find his wallet.
Where is it, where is it?
Hmm? Wait! Wait, wait, wait!
Seriously? Does he really forget to bring his wallet?! Impossible!
Alright, calm down! Calm down, Heiji! Look more calmly and thoroughly ...
But still, he didn't find what he was looking for, even though now all the contents of his bag had been messed up on his table.
Krrr ...
Oh great! Now his stomach began to protest asking to be filled.
What should he do? Does he have to owe money to his friend?
NO!
It will tarnish his face, honor and pride as a prince!
Then the next day, his name will be included as a headline in all Japanese newspapers.
'First Time In History! The Prince of Osaka Owed Money To His Friends To Buy Food, Because He Forgot To Bring Pocket Money!'.
No, no! He can die of shame!
Krrr ...
"Shut up! Not eating for a few hours won't make you starve to death!" He hissed slowly and irritably, ordering his stomach that was still screaming for food. But, when the stomach is hungry, it'll get worse if delayed to fill. Heiji is even more hungry now.
How could this happen? Usually he is a careful person!
This is all because of that damn princess ... She just stay for one day in his house, but she has brought bad luck to him!
A soft knock on the door of his class, surprised him and several students who were still inside. Heiji recognized him as one of his bodyguards. He walked swiftly towards the prince who was actually starving. There's a package in his hand.
"Your Highness!" The bodyguard bowed towards him. "Her Highness the young princess, a friend of yours, asked me to deliver this to you".
"What is this?" A second later, Heiji realized the words of his bodyguard, he hurriedly corrected him "She is not my friend!" he said, opening the package cloth, which turned out to be a lunch box.
There's a piece of blue paper with beautiful writing on it, as if written by a Japanese script calligraphy master.
'Your mother told me to make you lunch, because you forgot to bring your wallet. I saw that you didn't really fit with European dishes this morning, so I tried my best to make Japanese dishes.
PS: If you don't like it, you don't need to eat it. But please don't throw it away. There are still many people who are starving and don't have anything to eat somewhere out there, you know!'.
With a little rush, Heiji opened the lunch box.
A few pieces of sushi roll rice, err ... more precisely, rolled fried rice. A few omelet rolls, some octopus sausages, some chicken wings ...
Receiving food in times of desperation like this, of course, is like receiving blessings from Heaven. Heart becomes warm and undeniable ... happy.
But, Heiji still maintains his pretentious attitude. There's still a bodyguard in front of him!
"Where's my mother going?".
"She attended the opening of an art gallery in Kyoto. Then, please excuse myself!". Once again the man bowed before left, then Heiji finally began to smile. Again, he read the message on the blue paper.
If you don't like it, you don't need to eat it. But please don't throw it away. There are still many people who are starving and don't have anything to eat somewhere out there!
"Keh! Ahou! I am the one who's starving!" Then he started eating the food. Incredible! Everything is delicious! He ate heartily.
'See? She's a good girl, isn't she? This morning you scolded her, but she cooked you delicious meals. She even tried to make you Japanese food!'.
'Keh, shut up! She just obeys mom's words!'.
'Oh really? I don't think so. If so, why does she need to bother making you Japanese-style dishes? She can just made you a sandwiches and just a few pieces of fruit! Or even she can reject it and told your mother instead. After all, you already scolded her this morning, even though she wasn't wrong!'.
'Keh, I said shut up!'.
Well, his heart really obeyed and was silent, but only for a few seconds.
'You have to apologize to her after school!'.
This time Heiji did not answer.
While continuing to eat his food ravenously, Heiji felt there was something, he doesn't know what, a strange feeling appeared in his heart. It feels flowery, like wanting to sing as loud as possible.
Keh! Must be because he's already full. When the stomach is full, you are happy, right?
Right?
Somehow, no one answered. Even his smart brain, which always thinks realistically.
And for some reason, Heiji didn't mind.
Really didn't mind it ...
