THE TIME WHEN I FACE YOUR HONEY~ COATED GLARE

The alarm's shrill ring cut through the silence. Shisei Ishikura reached out, silencing it with a weary sigh. "So," she whispered to the empty room, "This hellish life wasn't a nightmare after all." The door creaked open as a maid stepped inside. "Good morning, Miss Shisei Ishikura," she said with a stiff bow. Shisei didn't look up. "Good morning. You can go now." At school, students were buzzing with gossip. "Hey, did you hear about the new transfer student?" one asked. "Yeah," another replied. "She’s as beautiful as an angel—totally adorable and talented. Her name is Shisei Ishikura, and she’s the sole heir to the Ishikura Group." "I heard she wants to be an idol, though," a third student chimed in. "If she actually debuts, she is definitely becoming my oshi!" Shisei enters the corridor "Good morning, Shisei!" one girl called out. "Good morning, Shisei-san!" a boy added, his voice joining a chorus of greetings echoing through the corridor. As she walked, student after student chimed in, filling the corridor with a rhythmic wave of "Good morning"s for Shisei. Shisei Ishikura smiled brightly, greeting the room with a cheerful, "Good morning, everyone." She was walking down the corridor, greeting everyone she passed, until she collided with a boy. "Oh! I’m so sorry," the boy stammered. Shisei met his apology with a chilling death glare. Visible hesitating, he tried again. "I’m sorry, Miss Shisei. I didn't mean to bump into you like that." Suddenly, her expression softened. "It’s quite alright, dear friend," she said smoothly. "What is your name? Also, could you direct me toward Class 1A?" "Well, my name is Saito Katsu," he replied nervously. "And, um... I’m actually your classmate." Shisei’s jaw tightened as she flashed him another sharp death glare. Then, through gritted teeth, she forced a smile. "Wow, we’re classmates? I hope we become very good friends." The boy then replied that he hoped so.
