Maria-sama ga Miteru:Volume4 Chapter4 2
Raison d'etre for sœur. Part 2.[edit]
By the way, in the meantime.
Two shadows passed each other in a place Yumi wouldn't even think of going.
"Rosa Canina, was it?"
In front of the Maria-sama statue at the fork in the gingko tree pathway, a girl with growing, graded hair casually swaying stopped, and turned to the girl she'd just passed.
"Are you late, too? Or are you waiting for someone?"
"I was waiting for you, Rosa Gigantea. I knew you would come, no matter what, today."
The girl with cleanly cut hair said. She was still wearing her indoor shoes. Like she'd gone to the third-year wisteria class looking for her, found out she hadn't arrived yet, and run out like that.
"… An ambush. Then wouldn't it have been better to wait for me in front of my classroom, or the building entrance?"
Even if it was after noon, it wasn't the weather to wait outside for a long time without a coat. There was a slight breeze, too.
"I didn't know if you'd go straight to the building."
"You know me well."
She'd come solely for the speech presentation. So there was a high probability she would only stop by the Rose Mansion, or even just go straight to the sanctuary, where the speeches would be given.
"You know, there's no point in talking to me about the Yamayurikai election."
"I have no intention of making such a request."
"Then, what?"
Her hands still stuffed into her school coat pockets, Rosa Gigantea listlessly asked. By contrast, Rosa Canina spoke, solidifying her resolve.
"The election date. After school, on Saturday, after the results are posted, may I see you here?"
"After the results? Not if you win?"
"Regardless of whether I win or lose. May I?"
"Mmm."
After some pondering, she said "ok" and kept walking.
And after a few steps, she turned around, and said, "Shouldn't you hurry, too?" while pointing to the sanctuary, but Rosa Canina simply nodded, "Yes," and showed no signs of moving.
For a while, she simply gazed at Rosa Gigantea, walking away.
