Princess of the Princess ch20: Haiji's...

p1
>>A dream of meeting a princess...!?

>"I'm gonna be late~"

>I wanted to have "one of those encounters"...

>so I've been running... since this morning...
>but I haven't met anyone at all!!

>Why!?
>That should be obvious.

>It is currently the time where a student would be considered late... All the other students are already inside the school.
>So long as nobody else runs late like Haiji, there won't be any such encounters.
>I've gone in circles... I'm all the way back...
>to my apartment...

p2
>Oh my.

>Eh...?
>I was going to surprise you... but you're back already?

p3
>Long time no see.

>Wh-...

>Why are you...

p4
>...Haiji-chan~

>Onee-sama... I hope it's nothing serious...
>Yeah...

>It's probably just a cold! Taiji isn't that great at taking care of herself, after all~
>You're still fat?

p5
>Ah...

p6
>Who's this!?

>D-Did we get the wrong room!?
>That can't be! I've passed by here during my training countless times...

>Erm... Who are you, old la-
>Good evening! We're Minamiyama-san's friends!

>She... was absent from school without telling us so we got worried...

>Um... Is Haiji-san here?

p7
>Yes... She is.

>Right here.
>A cat!?

>Good... evening... girls.
>Haiji-chan!

p8
>You had us worried!
>Tei too! Tei was worried too!!
>What happened today?
>Ah... Well, y'know~...

>Haiji.

>They're your friends, right?
>They came all the way here because they were worried about you.
>Let them inside.

p9
>B-But...

>As your mother, I'd appreciate it if you introduced your friends to me.
>Okay?

>I knew it!
>She's Haiji-chan's mother!!

>Mother? Don't you mean gra-
>Ugh

>>Haiji's not acting like she usually does...?
