Le conseil des élèves à la langue acérée tombera-t-il amoureux ? — 第三章 禁止恋爱

Chapter Three: Romance Forbidden

Article One of the charter: members of this council are forbidden to fall in love.

Saeki read the line aloud. Shirayuki did not look up. "Reading it a second time will not lift it."

"Then who wrote Article One?"

"I did." She spun the red pen once. "A rule written for other people to see is called a charter. One written for yourself is called a diary. Diaries are not made public."

Saeki put the charter back in its folder. The gilt on the cover gleamed under the lamp like a sentence that refused to be spoken.
