110 – Alice at the Festival
Standing in front of the school gate.
The school was crowded inside and out with students promoting their classrooms with colorful banners and all kinds of flashy costumes, and people watching.
I let out a long sigh without realizing it.
It was the first day of the festival.
It is held over two days, and our classroom play is performed on the second day.
I barely made it through the hallway, passing by the people, and opened the door to the classroom.
Students in our class were also in the midst of final preparations.
Students practicing acting or refining their backgrounds. In addition, I looked at the noisy classroom with people preparing costumes and makeup.
“Ah, Minsu~!”
Haruna came up to me, jumping up and down, and took my hand.
“Why are you so late? “Come here quickly!”
“No, wait…” .”
I was dragged in without knowing what was happening and was surrounded by Haruna, Kuromi, and Nanase, who were in charge of costumes.
“What… What is it? This encirclement.”
Haruna showed off her maid’s uniform. A flowing skirt and white apron.
Kuromi and Nanase each held strange tools in their hands. That… Toiletries?
“Don’t worry. “The three of us will cover it for you.”
“Don’t worry, change your clothes.”
Kuromi and Nanase also said strange things. Change your clothes.
“Ha, Haruna…” ? “You want me to wear it now?”
That’s right. I was a maid.
Although she didn’t have a particularly important role, she wore a maid’s uniform and always stood next to Juliet and served her.
“I… The play is tomorrow. Therefore….”
“What are you talking about! So, you should try it on beforehand and see if it suits you!”
Haruna, full of motivation, put on her costume.
I looked across and saw Yuuki and the other kids already changing. However, they are gender-specific clothing.
“Now, wait a minute…” Okay. I’m going to go to the bathroom and change….”
“Are there many other people?”
When Haruna asked again, I was shocked and took a step back.
It took a lot of courage to go into the men’s restroom, change into a skirt, and then come out.
“Just change here!”
“Ooh, we’ll cover it properly.”
Kuromi and Nanase, who had become close friends while preparing for the play, also shouted as if forcing themselves.
“Now, wait a minute…” Huh… Don’t touch the button… !”
As soon as I entered the classroom, I realized what kind of ordeal this was.
Kuromi and Nanase turned their backs and stood as if to block me, and Haruna stretched her hand up her shirt.
“Ah, okay… ! “I’ll do it with my own hands!”
While dissuading Haruna, who seemed to be overflowing with motivation, I personally accepted her outfit.
“Ugh… Ugh… ….”
Are you really telling me to change here?
Of course, the other kids were busy with their own preparations and didn’t have time to worry about this. Still, I can’t help but feel shame.
Surrounded by a barricade of three female students, I hurriedly changed my clothes.
“Wow… ! “The size is just right!”
Haruna turned around and smiled brightly, adjusting her clothes.
I wanted to hide in a mouse hole like this, but Kuromi and Nanase came over and made me sit on a chair.
“Now, stay still.”
“Just wait a little while and it will be over.”
Huh?
A large mirror is placed in front of your eyes.
I felt like I was at a makeup shop, and I quietly accepted the hands they held out.
Should we say that resistance is meaningless? Because I had already made up my mind to dress up as a woman.
I took it with a bitter smile as Haruna in front of me smiled and repeatedly praised me for looking good on me.
“That’s enough!”
Kuromi, who has a confident personality, shouted confidently and got away from me.
Nanase adjusted the blonde long hair wig on my head.
Blonde maid.
Isn’t this color more noticeable than the main character?
Even though I was worried, I got up and looked at them.
“Is it over now?”
That’s what I asked. They stared at me without saying anything.
Haruna, Kuromi and Nanase.
“……… What, what? What’s the matter?”
Is there any problem?
The moment I realized that crossdressing as a woman must be difficult.
“Kids, everyone, look at this!”
Kuromi grabbed my shoulder and turned me behind her.
The students who were deep in practice all paid attention to me.
And then…
“……… Eww… What, what….”
They also looked at me quietly with their mouths closed or their mouths wide open.
There was no doubt that dressing as a woman was difficult.
But it’s okay to show it like this as a joke….
***
I saw a text message from my manager while going to school.
It said that there was something to discuss about Shiraishi, so please give me some time.
It was the first day of the cultural festival, and since our classroom had decided to start operating the Butler Cafe from the first day, it seemed like we had no choice but to take some time in the morning.
Before the festival started, I was waiting for the manager who said he would visit the classroom briefly.
“aaa~! Takase, it suits you perfectly!”
“Because he’s the signature butler of our cafe!”
I sat among the women who were exclaiming in exclamation and taking pictures, and I looked around.
It was a simple cafe with round tables and chairs, but the students in our class were more serious about decorating the butler than the cafe.
In particular, there were several people next to me, putting on makeup, spraying perfume, or adjusting my clothes.
I was able to calmly accept it because I was used to it due to my recent modeling job.
“After all, it becomes a painting…” ! What do you think, Mori-san?”
“I really… The leader of our track and field team….”
Sayoko sighed and looked this way. The woman in charge of making drinks seemed to have complicated feelings when she saw me recently, but she didn’t show any difference.
“Okay, it’s starting soon!”
“Are you ready with your number tag? “There will be a lot of lines, so get ready!”
However, the manager has not arrived yet.
How did it happen?
I raised her body and spoke to them.
“I have some business to do for a moment. “I’ll be back soon.”
“What? It’ll start soon. “Where are you going?”
“Takase, you are the main character of our butler cafe.”
I waved my hand saying I understood and left the classroom.
If it’s Manager-kun’s business, I can’t ignore it. I decided to stop by his classroom in person.
It took time because I was stopped by other people to take pictures or sign autographs.
I arrived in front of the classroom and opened the door.
“…… “You look busy.”
From noble mtl dot com
The same goes for Harunana and Yuuki. Other students also seemed busy doing their own work. To the point where I feel bad even calling him over to talk to him.
“…… Manager…… “There is none.”
I decided to turn around and go back.
I can’t help it.
I will contact you during the break or visit again.
While he was walking like that, his steps stopped.
Men who appeared to be outsiders were surrounding a woman.
Blonde… An unusual costume that appears to be a maid’s uniform from the Middle Ages.
Today was a cultural festival and I was also wearing a butler’s uniform, so it wasn’t strange.
“It’s okay to tidy up for a moment!”
“Okay, let’s play together!”
“Ahahahaha….”
She was smiling and waving her hands as if she was having trouble, with long blonde hair and a maid’s uniform that matched her small body.
“Do you have a cell phone? “Give me your number!”
“You’re a student at this school, right? “What class are you in?”
It’s hunting.
It is a festival planned to have fun together. Even in places like that, there were bound to be outsiders who came looking for a fortune like this.
I approached them, rubbing the back of my sore neck.
“…… “I hope we can get there.”
They glared at me and she turned her body.
“…… What? What are you!”
“Do not disturb.”
Surprised by her surprise, I looked at her quietly.
“We picked this cute girl first!”
I approached to stop them, but before I knew it, I fell silent.
The blonde girl was also looking at me quietly. Their gazes cross each other for a long time.
“…… Ah… Huh. This was not the time.”
When I came to my senses, I gave them a hostile look.
“Such things are prohibited at our school festival.”
Clench your fist and press hard, making your bones resonate.
I didn’t intend to do this, but I felt a strain on my shoulders without realizing it. If the conversation worked, I was going to send Tyler back.
“If you don’t listen… “You can have a fight with me here.”
I didn’t want to use violence.
At this moment, all I wanted to do was protect her.
They were aware that it was too much, but when they made that threat, they also backed off.
“Now, wait a minute…” That bastard… “It’s Eri Takase!”
“What? Those 100 people….”
As we took a step closer, the men stepped back.
Soon, as if he understood his subject, he started to run away.
“……… Phew.”
What happened to me?
Have we decided to abandon the mindset of trying to solve everything with violence and threats?
The moment I met her gaze, a desire to win that I didn’t know existed arose.
I have to protect that girl.
I just thought that I had to look cool.
“……… Are you okay?”
She approached her cautiously and held out her hand.
She looked at me with a shy expression, bowed her back, then jumped up and ran away.
“Now, wait a minute…” !”
I stretched out my hand, but she had already disappeared into the distance, her blonde hair flying.
Just like Alice.
She was the first female student I saw at this school.
Well, we didn’t know all the students.
Her eyes, red cheeks, even her shy appearance.
I realized that everything was shaking my heart.
As if I wasn’t the only one who felt her charm, passers-by were also paying attention to her running away.
When she came to her senses, I was following behind her.
I didn’t mean to go hunting like those vulgar men. Just a name.
I wanted to know which grade and class I was in, so I walked faster.
“……… “Has she already disappeared?”
Quite like a mysterious girl… It was Alice who shook my heart.
“Ah… ….”
At the same time, she felt a vibration in her pocket and took out her cell phone.
That was a text message from the manager.
I couldn’t go because I had other things to do, so I’ll see you again in the afternoon.
I was feeling confused while replying to that.
He is already in my heart.
I ended up embracing another female student.
Shaking her head, she quickly returned to the third grade classroom.
Feeling her urge to see her once again.
