Eriko moved fast after that.

"Hasekura from the kendo club. Onee-sama, I'd like you to see her."

"Hasekura?"

Apparently her onee-sama couldn't instantly recall all the first-years not on the list just by surname.

"Does this Hasekura-san know that you want to be her soeur?"

"No."

After hearing this response Rosa Foetida stopped to ponder for a moment before agreeing.

"Okay. How about we go to the martial arts building the next time the kendo club has a practice session."

"Thank-you very much."

"It's a bit early to be giving thanks."

Rosa Foetida said, with a complex look on her face.

"Since you haven't discussed this with her, she might already be taken by a second-year in the kendo club, don't you think?"

"I don't want to prejudice your opinion. If you've got your eye on her, then make sure you take a good, hard look. Prudence is how you avoid buying the wrong thing."

Her onee-sama questioned the club president's suggestive remark, asking, "What do you mean?" In contrast, Eriko felt a chill run down her spine.

There was little doubt that Hasekura's secret was somehow connected to the middle-school.
