"If we are talking about pretty princesses that can be met in the Summer wild, I suppose they would be lilies."
It was summer vacation, and half of August had passed.
Koremitsu was sweating all over, starting from the forehead, as he worked on his holidays assignments in the room devoid of an electric fan. Hikaru, in turn, spoke coolly.
"The lush green grass shall absorb the heat of Summer, and on the other side of the grass, there stands the slender figure of a girl radiating a refreshing feeling, such that one can forget the searing heat with just a glance at her. Oh yes, there is such a waka recorded in the Man'yoshu."
Then, he sung with a richly sweet voice,
"'On the grassy wayside, the lilies bloom. With a smile, shall I call you my wife?' What it means here is that even amidst the green grass, if I am able to see your smile bloom like the lily, is that sufficient for me to call you my wife? The lily that appears here has to be pink, a cute Princess Lily. This 'hime' princess reminds of the 'himi' in the word 'secret', cute and yet has some voluptuous sense to her that causes a man's heart to flutter. Hey, Koremitsu, you do not have to frown like that and try to imagine it like solving an official event. Just imagine a girl amidst the tall, lush grass, peering at you. At the moment your eyes meet hers, she will say to you 'don't just call me your wife', her cheeks blushing."
"Like I know anything about that."
Koremitsu fanned himself with a circular silk fan as he answered nonchalantly.
"You look very hot there yourself. Anyway, since you're a ghost, hurry up and cool this room down."
"Please do not be unreasonable. You do know very well that I am a useless ghost who cannot do anything other than to cosplay, right? Oh yes, how about I try putting on a tennis outfit. I suppose surely it would be like living in a summer shelter. Perhaps I would be able to feel the cooling breeze blowing upon the silver birch grove."
Once he said that, he immediately transformed into a white tennis wear with white shorts, his light brown hair swaying gently in the air, radiating a clear smile. There was a blue wrist guard on his arm, and his head had a similar colored band on it.
"What do you think, Koremitsu? Do you feel refreshed like the blooming lilies at a summer shelter resort?"
Hikaru tried swinging his racket at Koremitsu, but no wind was blown at him. Quite the opposite, it caused Koremitsu's head to boil, and his body to sizzle.
"That's enough already and get back to the corner, shut up and sit in a Seiza."
"That is cruel of you, Koremitsu. It is rare to have a summer vacation, and you are focusing on doing homework since morning. The thing about summer vacation is that you have to wait till the end of it and copy from other girls."
"Stop saying such despicable things with that angelic pure smile. Also, if I'm going to ask someone to lend me homework with that bad man look of mine, it'll just be assumed as intimidation."
One of them was Hikaru, hailed a harem prince with girls offering themselves freely to him. At the other end of the spectrum is himself, called a wild dog and being ostracized out of fear. Clearly, their positions were different.
"Hey you, let me copy your homework."
If Koremitsu were to say that, the girls would definitely leave their notebooks on his desk with trembling hands, and run off.
"Eh? But if it is Miss Shikibu, I suppose she will be willing to let you copy."
Koremitsu let out a groan,
