Side Thirty-Five – Fukumoto Hinata and Fukumoto Hiroto
“I can’t believe just how miserable that party was. Seriously, there were so many nobodies and suck-ups. I should have gone to the one hosted by Mayumi-sama. She did give an invite.” Fukumoto Hinata pouted as she took her seat at the table by the large windows overlooking the Shinjuku area. Lights winkled below, looking rather pretty. “Ugh, even this restaurant isn’t the one I wanted to go to, but the families of the Fifty-Seven have booked up everywhere truly noble.” She sighed in an unladylike fashion, slouched arrogantly in her chair, crossing her long, slender legs, the hem of her rich purple dress riding up a little.
“Hinata-sama, you need to be more dignified. People are watching.” Her bodyguard, Onoue Kasumi said dryly. She was tall and athletic, and dressed in a suit she was quite dashing, but her usual stone-face was a little off-putting. Still, Kasumi has always been loyal, ever since my father employed her at my request. Of course, technically as one of the Three-Hundred rather than the Fifty-Seven she wasn’t allowed to have a bodyguard at school, but since her mother was the sister of the current acting head of the Takatsukasa house, one of the three most distinguished and ancient lines of nobility remaining in Japan barring the Imperial family itself, the school and most of the nobles looked the other way. Still, it did cause problems with the other girls. Damn I hate this stupid system so much!
