'DRAMA CLUB PRACTICES ARE SUSPENDED THIS WEEK FOR FUNDING SCHEMES AND BEGGARY' read the notice on the drama room door.

Instead, the members of the drama club were prepping for the bake sale planned for Saturday. After some wheedling with the Home Ec club for permission to use the room and even more wheedling to be allowed to put up ads and set up a table during lunch, things were well underway.

A few club members had already finished their contributions and were gone, leaving a boy who had to start over when he burned his batch (the smell wafting outside the open door), two girl who were spending more time talking than doing work, and Haruka. Haruka had her tablet on the counter, settled on a recipe for caramel chocolate cake, while she worked, taking her time as she went through each step. The kitchen station she was at was fairly standard so she didn't have much problem navigating but it was nice to not have to maneuver around people or fight for space anymore.

Ryuta was lost as to why the girls started making so much noise. Really, you would think they would be considerate enough to keep it down for the other students. "Do you know why they are acting like that, Haruka?" He addressed her once more, completely unaware as to what is going on.

Chloe shot the two girls another cold stare, her eyes flashing as she actually stood up straight to her full height and squared her shoulders. She didn't like gossipy girls starting things they couldn't finish. She had half a mind to walk closer to their table and just stand there in hopes that the 'gaijin's' mere presence was enough to drive them off. It was mostly what she was good at anyway.

The reuse of her name almost got another outburst when they suddenly seemed to be acutely aware of Abendroth. They fell into an stifling silence before grabbing their containers of baked goods, leaving their kitchen mostly clean, and quietly agreed they needed to go anyway.

Haruka listened to them go, a bit like an attentive dog, and she caught the barest snatches of 'What a bitch'. She curiously turned her head in Abendroth's direction before turning back to Tanemoto,

"Nothing much. They're probably assuming we're going out now and up to terrible, hormonal teenage deeds."

"Oh is that all?" Ryuta shrugged slightly. He watched as the students walked out the room in a hurry, fearing Abendroth's wrath. He sighed and faced Haruka once more. "That's quite the baseless accusation. They should know better than to start making up things. I was only passing along some information."

"But either way, I hope that such talk won't continue. I would hate for you to be the troubled by it."

What a bitch? Was that the best they could come up with? She had been called far, far worse than that before. She almost wanted to smirk as the girls promptly left; at least Haruka wouldn't have to deal with them anymore, not today anyway.

The German quickly went about cleaning up any mess that she had made. She cleaned thoroughly until there wasn't a single trace that anyone had been baking there. While she cleaned, she did her best not to eavesdrop on the conversation, since it didn't concern her.

At that moment, some part of Haruka couldn't help but think 'Wow, people this dense really exist in real life?'

"I dunno, maybe if we're lucky they're really assuming we're child hood friends or secretly related?" Haruka replied. She didn't look like she believed that though. She seemed to think on something before continuing,

"But if you refer to other girls by their first names all the time, they might just think you're a playboy instead of just into blind girls?"

"Hmm. Perhaps I should call you something else then? To avoid confusion." Ryuta seemed perplexed for a moment trying to think up a name. "Ah yes. What was it that Imaizumi called you? It seemed to have slip my mind for some reason. Perhaps that would be a preferable choice instead."

"Oh, that. 'Kiri-chan''s an inside joke," she replied, with a bit of a smirk. She shrugged though, "Could call me that if you want? Or Shikata-san. You've also called me Mistress before too."

Ryuta barely managed to hold himself back from reacting. He did wince a little, but was at least thankful that she could not see that. He cleared his throat and answered with, "Shikata then. Sounds perfect."

Haruka nodded. "Okay then. Thanks, Tanemoto."

That was fair if he was using just Shikata. And using Butler-kun here would probably be pushing a bit too far anyway.
