	I ~~feel~~ bliss just by looking at her. She's just too cute to be true. It wasn't just the normal guys, even the class president, Morita, the one who kept a serious, no-nonsense face even when listening to jokes, was squinting with a slight sinful look in his eyes. As for the girls, they all gave her looks of respect and admiration that were devoid of any traces of jealousy. I guess the smile of an angel would be what Haruka has on her face right now.

	Suddenly, her eyes, with pupils as clear as the water from the Alps, locked onto mine. When she caught me looking, she smiled and waved at me discreetly. I could feel that at this moment her smile was more affectionate than usual, different from the smile that she gave to her other classmates.

After all, she was crowned Miss Hakujō Academy when she was just a mere first-year student last year with an amazingly high number of votes, and ever since that beauty contest, everyone calls her “Nuit Étoile” (The Silver Star of the Night). The number of guys that confessed to her in that year, reached a three digit figure, a secret fan club was established specially for her, and there were sayings that even the principal is a member of that fan club, and it was likely ~~that~~ that was more than just a rumor.

Adding on to that, she emits an astonishing aura all over her, I believe any man that walks past her on the streets, a hundred out of a hundred of them would be charmed into turning back to look at her once more. Speaking of which, I am one of them. After all, she was crowned Miss Hakujō Academy as a mere first-year student last year with an amazingly high number of votes, ever since that beauty contest, everyone calls her “Nuit Étoile” (The Silver Star of the Night). ~~As to the~~ number of guys that confessed to her in that year ~~has~~ reached a three digit figure, ~~and she has~~ a secret fan club established specially for her, and there ~~are~~ sayings that even the principal is a member ~~for~~ that fan club, and it is likely that that is more than just a rumor.

	I feel bliss just by looking at her. She's just too cute to be true.

As for the girls, they all gave her looks of respect and admiration that were devoid of any traces of jealousy. I guess the smile of an angel would be what Haruka has on her face right now.
