Reika-Sama – 096 (2/2)

“Do we have a girl who can replace her?”

A nuirls hadn’t returned from lunch yet, and none of the ones here seeuess nobody really wanted to dress up as a rat

H up in a costume?

I raised my hand

“Shall I take her place then?”

“Eh-, you, Kisshouin-san!?”

“Reika-sama!?”

Everyone looked at me in shock

“Yes I was entered into the ball-tossing event, but I believe she can do so even with a sprained ankle There should be no problee events, in that case Of course, unless anything is stopping me I plan to participate in the ball-toss as well”

“Are you really okay with that, Kisshouin-san?” Satomi-kun asked with some hesitance

The costume race was a joke event, after all I was probably one of the last people they’d have expected to participate Admittedly I never would have if it wasn’t for this accident

“I am fine with it,” I nodded “I cannot promise that I will run particularly swiftly, however”

Satomi-kun smiled

“Then the replacement will be Kisshouin-san”

Just as things were about to be settled, this tiroup that complained

“How could you make Reika-sama dress up like a rat!”

“She’s right! How could a rat costume be suitable for Reika-sama!”

A so the classrooirls started vocally agreeing about how cruel it was to me

Uuys? I don’t actuallyit cruel now, but you do reht?

I tried to cals like,

“How could you make Reika-sama dress up like some kind of amusement park mascot!”

When we realised eren’t going anywhere, people started suggested alternatives

“Then can’t we just have Kisshouin-san take the part of Cinderella instead then?” said one boy

More and et on-board with the idea

“Kisshouin-san would be spot-on for a princess, after all”

“I thought it’d be pretty funny to force Iwaht be pretty good too”

The girls in roup seemed tentatively appeased And so after all that tu the rat to Cinderella

Me as Cinderella But the problem was…

“Iwaood for you! Looks like you’re off the hook!”

“I re about it too!” said a friend as he thumped Iwamuro-kun on the shoulder

“Yeah, thank goodness,” he replied

But I knew that was a lie Because in the dress-fittings after the class had decided on Iwamuro-kun as our Cinderella, I noticed he looked a little happy to be wearing it

I suspected that he was crestfallen inside Even now he looked a little sadder

“Please wait, everybody I a the rat”

Everyone looked shocked again

“The costume is tailored to Iwamuro-kun’s measurements Additionally, Cinderella is to be the anchor of the relay race That would be too heavy a burden for me”

“But Reika-sama…”

“In exchange, would it be acceptable for rey dress, mouse ears, and mice slippers instead?”

Honestly, I was coirls around ree to that Hence the coht it would look pretty cute

“Are you truly okay with that, Reika-sama?”

“I a ill-fit toIwamuro-kun in a dress!”

My classhed

“Iwamuro! Now that Kisshouin-san’s no away from this!”

“Give it your best, tranny Cinderella!”

Although Iwaned comments, his mouth was curved upwards You really wanted to wear that Cinderella dress, didn’t you

I decided that toift him some of the unused make-up from home

He would probably be even happier that way Quite possible that he’d open a door to a world he could never coh

The next day when I brought the make-up kit, Iwamuro-kun exclaimed,

“Ehhhh!”

but didn’t resist at all

I put on some cream blush on his cheeks and then painted his hted when he stoof in front of the mirror

In the end I secretly gave hiht before the athletics carnival This way his skin would be silky smooth

Iwamuro-kun teared up and declared that he would follow me I had to say no to that

So ended up attached to me…
