I ／ Men Forbidden!? The Secret Garden of Maidens!

 
Now, the day after the aforementioned Sports Festival—…
 
It was a so-called “compensatory holiday,” a miraculous day where one could openly skip school despite it being a weekday. In such a student paradise, two people were holding a suspicious meeting from early morning.
 
Hakua Shiragiku and Meina Akeboshi.
 
The next head of a world-class confectionery company and her capable secretary candidate.
 
The two were in a room of the apartment where they lived, facing each other with serious expressions and discussing something.… Read more

Prologue ／ Can You Really Review Everything This Easily!? The Story So Far!

 
Let’s talk about what happened last time!
 
Izumi Sumie, a high school student from a fairly well-to-do family, was pushed into a corner by the “confession bomb” dropped by the transfer student, Nanao Nanase!
 
But Izumi wasn’t the only one in a crisis.
 
Three “Romance Heavyweights”—the main heroines who had been secretly harboring feelings for him—rose to the challenge.… Read more

“The Girl Who Can’t Say ‘I Love You’ Catalog ② ~Mayuki Yukimura~”
 

 
Mayuki Yukimura.
 
She is the school nurse.
 
Every day, she watches over the students’ lives and supports those who come to her feeling unwell.
 
All the students describe her as “a reliable and mature woman,” and they trust her deeply. Sometimes, students even come to the nurse’s office to talk about their adolescent troubles when they have nowhere else to turn.… Read more

The master nearly teared up at her growth. The timid girl he once knew was gone.
 
(Heh. Hard to believe I’m the same man who abandoned his family for work. Guess I’ve mellowed…)
 
Normally, meddling in someone’s love life was unforgivable. Especially when the target was a girl young enough to be his granddaughter. His soul was definitely hell-bound.
 
But even so—!
 
For Hitomi, whom he trusted like family…
 
For her fleeting love, which reminded him so much of the daughter his ex-wife took away—He swore he’d make it happen.… Read more

“Honestly, we got lucky Meina-chan wasn’t serious.”
 
“Oh? You handled the young mistress and Amane-san just fine, though.”
 
“Because if Meina-chan had been serious, I kinda felt like I wouldn’t stand a chance.”
 
“Kufufu. How flattering~”
 
A beautiful flower of peaceful female friendship bloomed between them.
 
Thus, women bound by the same man form deep connections—
 
“Ah, not that I’ve given up on Izumi sama, by the way?”
 
“…Huh?”… Read more

Epilogue: The Storm Arrives
 

 
It was lunchtime during the sports festival.
 
“Here, Izumi-kun~ ♡ Aaah~n ♡”
 
“Uh, y-yeah. Thanks……”
 
In a corner of the schoolyard,
 
Izumi sat on a picnic blanket as Hakua fed him one of her homemade meatballs.
 
The air around them was thick with sweetness—like the tangy glaze drizzled over those very meatballs. Their lovey-dovey aura had long since spiraled out of control. At this rate, their sheer affection might’ve been enough to eradicate world poverty.… Read more

[Next up is the scavenger hunt, with all grades competing against each other. To our guests in attendance, if a participant asks to borrow something from you, we kindly ask for your cooperation.]
 
The participants took their places at the starting line.
 
The rules were simple: run half a lap around the track, pick up one of the scattered tags, then—while completing the remaining half-lap—borrow whatever was written on the tag from someone in the spectator seats before racing to the finish.… Read more

One Week Later
 
The day of the Sports Festival had arrived.
 
The sky was slightly overcast, but the heat had eased—perfect weather for an outdoor event.
 
Hakua, the student council president, had been busy with administrative tasks since morning.
 
“President! I’ll head to the storage shed and bring the early equipment to the field!”
 
“Thank you. On your way back, could you stop by the faculty office and pass a message to the head teacher?”
 
“Got it!”… Read more

VII / [The Ice Princess], Revolution
 

 
It is the first morning of the week.
 
As Izumi left her apartment for school, the door of the neighboring room opened just as she stepped out.
 
Naturally, it was Hakua.
 
When she noticed Izumi, she stiffened slightly. After a brief hesitation, she forced an awkward smile.
 
From the bag on her arm, she pulled out a pouch—the lunchbox she always prepared for Izumi.… Read more

Izumi, dispatched from the Sumie family as part of the strategic alliance, truly became her greatest supporter. Whenever she clashed with her father, he stood between them. When she was wrong, he gently guided her back.
 
Through his kindness, Hakua finally understood:
 
Her father hadn’t wanted to seek outside help.
 
He’d simply done what was necessary to keep the company from being left behind—to protect the employees who devoted their lives to it.
 
Once she realized that, she grew closer to her father.… Read more
