In all probability, there was nobody at Rouran Private Academy who had never heard this name.
Skilled at both academics and athletics. Attractive and good looking. A prodigy of great talents.
If he were a girl, then all of the guys in the school would be knocked out—Such rumors were echoed as if that was the truth about this pretty boy. He was the student that had perfect results anyone would envy.
The expression “flower on a high peak” may exist, but all that meant was that Konoe was the one rose blooming on the peak of Mount Everest.
Anyway, the nickname he had been given was [Subaru-sama](1).
He was the sort of guy that female students admired and male students looked at with jealousy. I couldn’t believe that he was the same as me, a commoner. However, don’t be surprised.
The most incredible thing about him was his job.
‘Butler.’
Yes, he was a butler.
Konoe Subaru’s occupation was without a doubt–a butler.
………..
No, no.
When I first heard that, I doubted my ears, you know?
Butler… what do you mean by that? Don’t joke with me. Why does an occupation like that still exist in this modern society? And he’s also attending high school normally.
Shouldn’t he be quickly designated as a special protected species or something?
That was sort of my reaction when I first heard about Konoe. At first, everyone was like that.
There was simply no way they could believe that an endangered species like a butler still existed.
But nevertheless, that scene happened.
When I saw him calling our classmate Suzutsuki Kanade “[Ojou-sama]”(2) and attending to her reverently, I couldn’t help but believe in this dream-like story.
Shit.
I’m jealous.
I’m so jealous.
Not only was he popular with the girls, but he was also the butler of that Suzutsuki Kanade?
It made me look at him with envious eyes.
After all, unlike him, I’m leading a dull school life where this brilliant event will never happen to me.
It’s not like I hate women and it’s also not like I play for the other team.
However, the most annoying thing was that, thanks to my body, I was always bad at approaching females.
Indeed, there was no way I could see Konoe Subaru as anything other than a brilliant person.
Even in the remaining time of my school life, I wouldn’t have many chances to get involved with him, huh.
Even when I got to the second year and became classmates with Konoe, I didn’t doubt that.
Until I opened that door.
