Vol 4 Chapter 3 (1/2)

Chapter 03: Seductive Bridal Showdown!

—I’ll seduce Nanjou-kun. It’s been a few days since Gogyou-san said so, but she hadn’t made any kind of approach.

I was sure she had reconsidered.

I spent my days optimistic like that, when the morning of the first day of the culture festival came.

I woke up earlier than my alarm clock and decided to go back to sleep to escape reality. …I didn’t want to cross-dress after all. If possible, I would like to just keep sleeping here at home.

I lazed around on my pillow, when there was a knock on my door. I heard a cheerful voice.

“s.h.i.+n.o.bu~ Are you awake already? A new morning has come~”

That voice belonged to Elni. Without doubt, she came to wake me up.

There I slipped my blanket over my head and pretended to not having heard her.

Then I heard the door opening…and my body was shaken wildly through the blanket.

I peeked out from under the blanket, where I saw Elni saying with a smile.

“It’s morning, s.h.i.+n.o.bu. C’mon, hurry up and get up.”

“Fufu. What are you saying, Elni? Today’s a Sat.u.r.day. There’s no school.”

“Mh? Rather, what are you saying, s.h.i.+n.o.bu? Today’s the culture festival.”

Immediately I once again hid under the blanket.

“…I’m currently not at home. If you need something, wait for the ‘Beep!’ sound and then leave at once.”

After that I leaked a “Beep!” sound, when Elni said like leaving a message.

“h.e.l.lo, here’s the G.o.ddess. Everyone is coming to your school today, so please give it your all with the cross-dressing.”

“…How do you know about me cross-dressing? Actually, everyone is coming?”

I timidly peeked out my head from under the blanket. Elni said with a grin.

“Machina told us, so everyone knows about it. We’re all looking forward to it!”

Oh d.a.m.n. Even Luna and the others will see me cross-dressing…

“…I don’t want to go to the culture festival. I can’t serve costumer while cross-dressing. Help me, Elniemon.”

I was clutching at a straw.

But Elniemon replied with a serious expression.

“s.h.i.+n.o.buta-kun, you can’t avert your eyes from reality. Fight, s.h.i.+n.o.buta-kun! Cut short, Buta-kun!”

“Who are you calling b.u.t.ter! And what’s with that weird tone! It doesn’t resemble it at all, Elniemon!”

I retorted at full power, when Elniemon said displeased.

“I’m G.o.ddemon.”

“You’re confusing something there!?”

I said surprised with a tone like Kaorun, but G.o.ddemon, fromer Elniemon, paid it no mind and pulled out a confection from the pocket of her hoodie and presented them to me.

“s.h.i.+n.o.buta-kun, if you properly go to school, I’ll give you Machina’s snack as a reward. By the way, everyone is really looking forward to it, so I believe you’ll be dragged to school anyway.”

…I no longer had a way out.

After leaking a dry laughter, I shouted in my despair.

“Aww, okay! I’ll go! I’ll go to school! And I’ll let everything come to an end! Though it’ll be mostly my self, who comes to an end!”

I s.n.a.t.c.hed away the Dorayaki from G.o.ddemon, dressed up and went to the living room. There my mother sat on the sofa and checked upon the video camera.

“…What did you take that thing out for?”

I asked timidly, when my mother showed a bright smile and answered.

“Fufu. I want to perfectly record your cross-dressing.”

“Oh, I see. Make sure it turns out cute, d.a.m.nit.”

I gave my mother a slovenly wink, readied myself and went to the front door together with Luna and Machina…but for some reason Gogyou-san and Kaorun stood in front of our house.

“Huh? What’s up, you two?”

The moment I called out to them, Kaorun and Gogyou-san suddenly grabbed my arms and just like that they pushed me into the car that was waiting in front of our house.

Meanwhile Elni, who knows when she entered, secretly bowled inside the car on the floor mat of the backseat.

Didn’t Gogyou-san and Kaorun notice her?

While I pondered like that, I gave Luna and Machina, who stood dazed in front of the house, a backward glance, when Kaorun drove off expressionless.

“Sh- s.h.i.+n.o.bu-san has been kidnapped!”

“Hey, where are you taking s.h.i.+n.o.bu!”

Immediately Luna and Machina cat-called, but their figures soon enough came out of view.

“…Uhm, what’s this so suddenly?”

When I asked, Kaorun answered plainly while driving.

“Excuse my rudeness, but after hearing from the Miss, I allowed myself to kidnap you, Nanjou-sama. I will now lead you and the Miss to a place, where the cow woman and her friends will not reach us.”

“Mh? What did you hear?”

Mimicking me, Elni asked, when Kaorun said somewhat happily.

“Nanjou-sama, you do not need to play dumb. The Miss will now proceed to seduce you, so please accept it and become unable to live without the Miss anymore. And while you are it, marry—”

“I won’t let that happen!”

Elni cut into Kaorun’s words and stood up with att.i.tude.

“Uwa, why is Elni here!?”

Gogyou-san, on the pa.s.senger seat, was surprised while Kaorun turned around even though she was driving.

Upon making eye-contact with Kaorun, Elni puffed her cheeks and shouted.

“I have seen through your scheme! As long as my black eyes are open, I won’t let that happen!”

“…Elni-sama, your eyes are red, so please turn a blind eye to it.”

“Oh right! My eyes are red!”

After a shock, Elni said pleading to Kaorun.

“…Then can you at least let me join in?”

“No, that would prove to be troubling, but… I propose a compromise. What do you say about you and me seducing Nanjou-sama together?”

Immediately Gogoyu-san shouted hastily.

“That totally crosses me out! That’s not fair!”

“Please rest a.s.sured, Miss. It was partially a joke on my part.”

“No, make it a joke entirely! Actually, look in front when you drive.”

She warned Kaorun, who had repeatedly glanced backwards, when Kaorun face in front reluctantly.

Well, the car seemed to be heading towards the school, so I should be fine.

Gogyou-san grabbed a paper bag to her feet and while presenting it to me bright red, she said.

“N- Nanjou-kun, please put that on me…”

I took the paper bag and looked inside. It contained unexpected items.

The cute dog ears aside, the problem was the other item.

…Why a choker?

It wasn’t a necklace-like chocker like Luna’s, but a real choker for dogs. It was even carefully set up with a lace.

Inadvertently I made a catch-and-release with the paper bag.

“H- Huh? You’re not happy about it, Nanjou-kun?”

“As if I would get happy over putting something like that on a girl! What kind of pervert do you take me for! To begin with, what do you even want to do after putting on a chocker?”

I cross-examined, when Gogyou-san mumbled “…Taking a stroll”, but I pretended not to have heard it.

“Nanjou-kun, a stroll…”

Gogyou-san repeated spoiled, but I closed my eyes and averted my face to keep my reasoning.

“H- He turned me down!? Kaoru-san, that’s different what you said! Nanjou-kun isn’t happy at all!”

“Now that is strange. I had believed you could satisfy a man’s control instinct with it…”

After her sentence, Kaorun raised a “Hah!” as she realized something.

“It might be possible that Nanjou-sama does not desire to put the choker on the Miss, but rather onto himself!”

“Like h.e.l.l! Don’t treat me like a pervert! I’m leaving now!”

I shouted resentful, when the car stopped in front of the school with a perfect timing.

I immediately got off the car and headed for the school with fast steps.

Upon that, Gogyou-san came running over hastily.

“W- Wait, Nanjou-kun! If I made you angry, I apologize, so please forgive me!”

With that she lowered her head, so I stopped and made a small sigh.

“Don’t do anything weird anymore.”

“….Yes. Next time I’ll do something that will certainly please you.”

Gogyou-san didn’t really seem to reflect on her actions.

I was ready to head with Gogyou-san to the cla.s.sroom, but… Elni tagged along.

First of all, I grabbed Elni at the neck like a cat and took her out of the school grounds. Then I reminded her to stay put until the culture festival started and proceeded to the cla.s.sroom.

We arrived at the cla.s.sroom, which had totally become a café, when the girls suddenly grabbed both my arms and dragged me to the changing room. Putting make-up on, I was made to cross-dress in no time.

For references, I was wearing the same waitress uniform as the girls, but instead of their miniskirt, I had a long skirt, which expose barely anything.

But Minami cheerfully put dog ears, wherever she might have them from, onto me and even pulled the sash with “Cla.s.s 2-4’s cross-dressing Staff” from before over my head.

…I hated to cross-dress, but there would be customers from outside of school, so I had to do it seriously. I returned to the cla.s.sroom and took a deep breath renew my spirit, when

“Nanjou-kun.”

I was called out from behind. I turned around and there was Gogyou-san.

Gogyou-san in her adorable waitress uniform was wearing dog ears like me.

Usually Gogyou-san was collected, which made this appearance even rarer.

“..Uhm, does it look weird?”

Faintly flus.h.i.+ng her cheeks and rolling her eyes uneasily, Gogyou-san was extremely attractive.

Inadvertently I was smitten, but pretending to be calm, I answered.

“It’s no weird. It looks really good.”

“..Th- Thanks.”

Gogyou-san smiled happily and reached out for her dog ears.

“I made myself match to you.”

“I see. Then shall we bark together?”

I was embarra.s.sed, so I replied on the spot, but Gogyou-san looked down and her ears turned red.

“…Wuff, wuff.”

She quietly barked.

Then she came closer to me and said.

“I- If you want, I’ll dress like this every day. So, well…”

Gogyou-san fidgeting rubbed her knees against each other and opened her mouth, when—the cla.s.sroom’s door was yanked open and Machina, wearing the waitress outfit like everyone else, appeared.

Reminded me, we had parted in front of the house.

Machina noticed Gogyou-san and me. Frowning, she approached us with her short skirt flattering. She got in-between Gogyou-san and me and said still frowning.

“Gogyou, I heard from Elni. You plan to seduce s.h.i.+n.o.bu.”

Machina made a sharp look, but Gogyou-san warded it off and nodded.

“I’m Nanjou-kun’s fiancée. And since he’s not dating you or Luna-san…I don’t have to hold back anymore.”

“Wh- Why! Hold yourself back! s.h.i.+n.o.bu already has my sister and me and even Elni, so that’s enough! I won’t hand him over!”

Machina declared so with teary eyes, then took my arm and walked away.

“Hey, Machina?”

I called out to her while being pulled along. Machina averted her eyes from me.

“You feel troubled too when she says such stuff, right? S- So I’ll help you out.”

“Ehm…”

I was perplexed, when Machina added hastily.

“Since the time to play with you will decrease when you go out with her. I didn’t mean anything special by it!”

“…You surprisingly get lonely easily, huh.”

When I said so, Machina suddenly stepped onto my foot.

“Oww! Wh- What are you doing!”

“…You’re so dull.”

“I don’t want to be called that by you…”

I replied with such, when this time Minami wearing the waitress uniform called out to me with a “Hey~ Nanjou-kun”.

“How does it look, Nanjou-kun?”

Minami confidently stroke a pose.

Her big b.r.e.a.s.t.s bounced right in front of me…

“Ehm, kinda cute.”

I spoke out my mind unmeant, when Minami turned red and ran away just like that.

What was up with her? The moment I wondered that, Machina stepped onto my foot again.

“…Do you have a grudge against me?”

“I, I don’t, but I have! You air-head gigolo!”

“Mh, I’ll take that as a compliment. Thanks, Machina.”

“Yes, you’re welcom—wait, I wasn’t praising you! Besides you…”

Machina started a lecture like that, but a broadcast for the opening of the culture festival was streamed immediately, so I escaped back to everyone.

Ever since the broadcast, customers wouldn’t stop flowing in, so it was really busy at the stall.

—Then I finally got a break.

I was rather tired as I wasn’t used to serve customers.

For now I should rest somewhere.

I walked down the hallway with these thoughts, when I was called out to with “Nanjou-kun!” and “s.h.i.+n.o.bu” from behind.

I turned around and there were Gogyou-san and Machina.

Both of them approached me and competed over taking my hand.

“Nanjou-kun, let’s go around together.”

“G- Gogyou might do something weird to you, so go together with me!”

Saying that, both of them started walking while pulling on me.

I wanted to take a rest, but apparently it wouldn’t go that easily.

…But I had to say, this was like a costume festival.

People wearing ridiculous self-made animals suits strutted along the hallway and Maids, Shrine Priestesses and policewomen in miniskirts handed out promo flyers. The school grounds really had turned into a festival.

Within all that, Gogyou-san stopped before the haunted house and said.

“Nanjou-kun, let’s go in here.”

“Yeah, I don’t mind, but…”

If I remembered correctly, Machina was weak against ghosts.

I glanced at her, when Machina made a pale expression like I had expected.

“What about you, Machina? Will you wait here?”

“D- Don’t be stupid! I’m coming too!”

With a somewhat forced expression, Machina took the vanguard position and called out to the girl at the reception.

There we got told to remove the charm at the goal and stepped into the haunted house. Inside it was dim and a faint blue light gave it quite ominous atmosphere.

“Hee, it’s well done.”

“Yeah, this might be really scary.”

Gogyou-san, used to it by her job as an exorcists, seemed to be with ghosts and made an agreeable response. On the other hand, Machina, scared after all, turned even more pale.

I watched Machina with a wry smile, when Gogyou-san suddenly grabbed my hand.

The warmth transferred to my palms made me excited and Gogyou-san said spoiled.

“Nanjou-kun, it’s so dark.”

“Y- Yeah, it sure is.”

“No one will find out when we get a bit perverted here.”

“No, I think they will.”

“it’s okay. We’re all alone.”

While saying that, Gogyou-san put her other hand on my shoulder and came closer. Then she gently blew into my ear and opened her well-shaped lips.

“Ahm…”

Putting my earlobe into her mouth, she started to nibble on it.

The sensation of warm and soft lips. A pleasant stimulation through my earlobe and numbing breathe.

It felt really good…

Inadvertently I lost my strength, when Machina hastily pulled me away from Gogyou-san.

“Hey, what are you doing! Actually, what you mean all alone! I’m still here! Why are you ignoring me!”

Machina’s eyes became teary while Gogyou-san made sorry expression and lowered her head.

“S- Sorry. I didn’t mean to ignore you, Orangelo-san. But according to the plan, I should be all alone with Nanjou-kun…”

Plan? Could it be Kaorun was plotting something again?

When I thought that, a student, who was on stand-by, jumped out, playing a ghost.

Immediately Machina screamed “KYAA!” and clung onto me.

“A- Are you okay?”

Having Machina’s firm, big b.r.e.a.s.t.s press on me, it was me, who wasn’t okay, in a certain way. But I hid that and called out gently to Machina.

“You can still turn back. What will you do?”

“I, I’m fine. These are just fakes anyway…”

Even while saying that, Machina didn’t get off me and strongly clung onto my arm.

Seeing that, Gogyou-san took my arm in opposition to Machina. Her voluminous b.r.e.a.s.t.s pressed on it— So now both my arms were engulfed in b.r.e.a.s.t.s.

With every step the bouncing soft b.r.e.a.s.t.s stimulated my arms and I was far away from enjoying the haunted house.

Gogyou-san seemed somewhat happy while Machina screamed every time a student jumped out as a ghost, but I only could react indifferently to the ghosts.

Actually, if we didn’t reach the goal soon, it would turn bad in various ways.

Thinking that, I swiftly headed for the goal, when I saw a big charm plastered obviously on the wall at the back of the cla.s.sroom.

It must have been the charm the girl that the reception spoke of.

“W- We just have to take that off.”

Machina must have wanted to get out quickly since she was scared. She extended her hand towards the charm.

But at the moment Machina tore down the charm,

“WRAAAAR!”

Along with an eerie roar, a boy disguised as a ghost peeked out from the wall.

I, caught flat-footed, trembled my shoulders with a s.h.i.+ver while Gogyou-san and Machina raised an adorable “KYAA!” scream and clung onto me.

Then Machina powerless got down on her knees right there.

“Hey, hey, are you okay?”

She must have been quite shocked.

Thinking that, I gave her my hand, when Machina looked at me half-crying and said.

“…s.h.i.+n.o.bu, I lost all my strength in my legs.”

“I see. Good-bye.”

“Noooo! Don’t abandon me, s.h.i.+n.o.bu! I’ll listen to your every word!”

I had turned my back to her in a joke, when Machina begged rather serious.

So I turned around and said.

“Machina, a girl shouldn’t say something like that so easily.”

“…I’m sorry, s.h.i.+n.o.bu. But you’re the only one I—No, wait! You were just going to abandon me, so what are you acting cool for now!”

Machina gave me a blaming look.

Seeing that, Gogyou-san gave her hand to Machina.

“It’s okay, Orangelo-san. I’ll lend you my shoulder.”

“Gogyou…”

Machina looked at Gogyou-san with wet eyes and I completely turned into the bad guy here. I hastily approached Machina and squatted down with my back to her.

“s.h.i.+n.o.bu?”

“I was just joking earlier. C’mon, I’ll carry you.”

“…Th- Thanks.”

On a rare occasion, Machina honestly said her thanks and climbed onto my back.

“s.h.i.+n.o.bu, uhm… I’m not heavy?”

“I’m done for. You’re so heavy that I can’t move a single step.”

“How weak are you! Actually, you’re walking normally!”

“Well, you are light.”

I replied so, when Machina didn’t say back anything more and just clung tightly onto my back.

In other words, her soft and big b.r.e.a.s.t.s were stimulating my back and I got agitated.

“L- Let’s get out of here quickly.”

While saying that, I corrected my grab on Machina on my back, when suddenly I felt an incredible pleasant sensation on my palm. H- Huh? What could it be?

“Wh- What are you thinking for suddenly touching my b.u.t.t, s.h.i.+n.o.bu! Even when we’re all alone in the dark….that’s just not good! I’m still not mentally prepared…”

Machina raised an angry voice, but her voice got gradually quieter and she clung to me somewhat stronger than before.

However, seeing that, Gogyou-san made a sad expression and shouted.

“Nanjou-kun, Orangelo-san! You’re not all alone! I’m still here too! Please don’t forget about me!”

“Well, you’re right in front of me, so how could I forget you.”

I retorted, then we left the haunted house and headed for the infirmary just like that. There I laid Machina on a bed.

“To think your legs gave in to you over some fake ghost…”

“Sh- Shut up. Real ones come out in such places. You two didn’t seem to notice, but I saw a real one there and was shocked.”

Machina told an obvious lie, when Gogyou-san said with a slightly shocked expression.

“Impressive that you could tell, Orangelo-san. There really was a ghost there.”

Most likely, as an exorcist, Gogyou-san could see real ghosts.

But these words came as a surprise to Machina without a doubt.

“…No way.”

Opening her eyes wide, Machina started to tremble in fear.

Seeing that, Gogyou-san tilted her head wondering with a “Huh?”.

“Orangelo-san, you saw it too, right? It was a type not harmful to humans, so I left it alone, but it’s still behind you, you know?”

In that moment, the curtain suddenly opened and the nurse in a white coat peeked her head inside.

“KYAAA! A GHOST!!!”

Machina mistook the nurse for a ghost.

After raising a scream, she left the words “…Sister, Elni, I’ll leave the rest to you” behind and fainted.

“…What a rude girl.”

The nurse said in a resentful tone and sighed lightly.

“I just came here to sleep.”

“Hey, do your job seriously.”

I said wearily, when the nurse widened her eyes somewhat.

“…Could it be, you’re a boy?”

“And you’re a girl?”

“Why a question? At any rate I know I’m not at an age anymore to be called a girl!”

It was a small joke, but she got angry.

For now I apologized honestly, when the cell phone in my skirt rung.

I took it out and looked at the display. It was a call from Elni.

“h.e.l.lo.”

“Hey, Tortoise.”

“Hey, Mr. Tortoise.”

“In this world—”

“Nah, you don’t need so sing along. What’s up, Elni?”

“Yeah, I wanted to play with you, so I called.”

Elni continued with a happy voice.

“Right now we’re all in front of the booth of the tea club. Where are you? Still on your s.h.i.+ft?”

“Nah, I’m on break. I’ll come over immediately. I can bring Gogyou-san with me, right?”

“Just perfect.”

No clue why, but it was just perfect.

I hated to be seen cross-dressing, but I should enjoy the culture festival together with everyone. I pulled the blanket over Machina and then headed for the school gate with Gogyou-san.

Those guys in a club were running booths from the school gate to the school building.

There were booths for shaved ice, crêpe, fried soba, takoyaki and ikayaki lined up and while making our way through the crowd, we headed for the booth of the tea club.

Then we arrived.

Apparently the tea club was running a kimono rental booth, but besides kimonos, the store also had cosplay costumes like a bunny girl or shrine priestess. It felt really out of place.

“What kind of activities is the tea club usually doing…”

“Wh- Who knows?”

I talked like that with Gogyou-san, when I was suddenly called out from right beside.

“…Are you s.h.i.+n.o.bu-san?”

I turned to it and there was a peerless blonde beauty. And besides her was a silver-haired beauty. They were without doubt Luna and Elni, but… their clothes came as a total surprise to me.

They most likely rented them from the tea club.

Luna wore a bright red Chinese dress, the tight fitting, no-sleeve dress emphasised her beautiful body line.

Specially the chest part peaked up bigly and with every movement Luna made, the voluminous swellings swayed around, it highlighted the height and size of her bust. Furthermore, her s.e.xy thighs were peeking out from the high-cut slit, so the line from her waist to her angles was seductive.

Besides her, Elni had clad herself in an elegant kimono and emitted a somewhat neat and clean aura. Her white skin peeked out brightly from the kimono and her short and slender body packed up so tightly invoke the desire to protect her.

“It suits you two well.”

When I gave them my honest opinion, Luna and Elni blushed lightly and smiled.

“Thank you very much. You look beautiful too, s.h.i.+n.o.bu-san.”

“Yeah, I didn’t recognize you for a second.”

“Fufu, call me a Scorpio girl. Laugh all you want.”

“Ahahahaha!”

I replied desperate, so Elni laughed without holding back.

I was a bit angry, so I pinched both her cheeks to show my chagrin. Then Luna approached Gogyou-san and said with a smile.

“It does suit you very well too, Gogyou-san. It is cute.”

“Th- Thanks. You look pretty too, Luna-san.”

For a while they smiled at each other, but then they suddenly sharpened their looks.

“But I will not lose to you, Gogyou-san.”

“I won’t lose either, Luna-san. The battle is on.”

“Bring it on.”

…What were they talking about? Were they going to hold a cosplay showdown? I pondered like that, when Elni pulled out a digital camera from her kimono sleeve and took pictures of everyone.

“…Where did you get that camera?”

“Tomoe-san gave it to me!”

Elni answered with a bright smile.

“And where is said Tomoe-san?”

I hadn’t seen my mother or Nazuna around yet.

I looked around restlessly, when I spotted a woman wearing maid clothes and facing a video camera towards us. And besides her was a small girl, likewise wearing maid clothes, was eating takoyaki. She waved her hand widely when we made eye-contact.

It were my mother and Nazuna, but…what was this? Nazuna was quite cute, but the maid clothes strangely suited my mother, so I was scared.

“…It’s rather unexpected my mother would choose a maid outfit.”

“I wish you would refrain from saying so, since it only lowers the worth of my existence.”

I mumbled, when Kaorun expressionless made an agreeable response beside me.

….Just when had she popped up?

“You show up as random as ever.”

“I am the always-by-your-side Kaorun.”

Saying so and striking a pose, Kaorun then bought an ice candy at a nearby booth and presented it to Gogyou-san.

“Miss, we are moving on to plan B.”

“O- Okay.”

Gogyou-san took the ice candy from Kaorun and faced me. Then she blushed and started to lick the ice somewhat erotically.

Extending her pink tongue, Gogyou-san licked the ice, sometimes gentle, sometimes fiercely. I found it rude to stare, so I averted my eyes from Gogyou-san, when Elni approached with a chocolate banana in her hand, which she bought at a booth.

“s.h.i.+n.o.bu, Tomoe-san bought this for me!”

Elni opened her smiling small mouth, put the chocolate banana in with an “Ah~” and then proceeded to move it up and down.

Elni was probably not aware of it, but that felt somewhat erotic.

I hastily averted my gaze from Elni too, but then my gaze fell on Kaorun.

Kaorun was holding a video camera and joyful filming Gogyou-san.

“Miss, please do it more erotically.”

“Uh- Uhm, Nanjou-kun isn’t even looking at me anymore? I don’t think this will excite him after all.”

“Then how about you take off a layer of your clothes, Miss?”

“Then I’ll be in my underwear!”

“You put on your lucky underwear for today, right? It is a chance to show it off to Nanjou-sama.”

“I, I can’t do that in front of everyone!”

Gogyou-san denied forcefully, when the nearby men, who had sparkles in their eyes, dropped their shoulders dejected. Kaorun stopped the video camera and said.

“Then we will move on to plan C, Miss.”

Along with her words, Kaorun turned on her heels and disappeared into the crowd.

After affirming that, Gogyou-san approached me and took my hand.

“Nanjou-kun, there’s a place I want to go to. Come with me.”

I had no real reason to turn her down, so I followed her, when Luna and Elni also tagged along and I heard Nazuna’s voice from behind.

“Brother, let’s play later~”

“Yeah, later.”

I waved shortly over my shoulder, when my mother stopped the video camera and mumbled.

“He got a surprisingly pretty face with make-up…”

“He looks like you, Mom.”

“…Yuck.”

That was what I should be saying.

I mumbled so in my heart while being lead away by Gogyou-san… For some reason we ended up behind the school building, where there was no one else.

There stood an obviously quickly built up flag with “Maid House” writing on it while the ground was covered by blue sheet with Kaorun sitting on it formally.

“Everyone, I welcome you to the Maid House. Please enjoy your stay to the fullest.”

“Kaorun, did you get the proper authorisation from the school? I’m going to get angry when you set this up illegal.”

I asked a little worried, when Kaorun averted her face from us and said.

“I am not Kaorun. I am Kaorun 00.”

“…Could it be you like G*ndam?”

“Yes. There was a time when I believed that if I turn my maid clothes red, I could move thrice as fast, but when I actually tried it, nothing changed. And it even made the Master angry at me.”

In all truth, I thought she was an idiot, but I didn’t dare to put it into words.

“…So, what’s Karoun 00 doing here?”

“Running a booth, as you can see. In case you only came to as a window shopper, I will cut you down without asking questions.”

“You sound like a thief.”

“Please do not group me together with such people. Nanjou-sama, in case you should be willing to partic.i.p.ate in the game, I will bestow you with a ticket for the lottery held by the student council. Please muster your courage and partic.i.p.ate in the game.”
