Editing Tasogare-iro no Uta Tsukai:Volume1 3rd Play (section)

===Part 1===

It was the day of the recital contest. 

Just when she opened the door of the first-year females change room, she discovered……

……Wah, what’s this?

Before she had even walked in one step, the choking smell of perfume made Kluele stop her footsteps. In other words, the perfume’s smell was so strong that even a girl herself wanted to retreat from it. 

“Ah, Kluele, good morning— I’m here first today!”

Mio was putting her uniform in a locker. It seemed that she didn’t mind the smell of perfume.

“Good morning, everyone’s all so early today.”

Even Ada and Serges, who were usually late, were already in the change room.

“It’s you who’s too slow. Oh right, you’re the ‘King of arriving late’!”

While putting on lipstick, Ada raised her eyebrows. 

“Eh…… Kluele, could it be that you want to wear your uniform onstage today?”

Faced with stunned expressions, Kluele raised the bag that she held in her hands and showed everyone.

School uniforms were usually required in Tremia Academy, but the recital contest was one of the few opportunities where everyday clothes were allowed. Nearly one hundred percent of female students would dress up. Due to six hundred fifty female students all wearing their most beautiful clothes, a fashion show is held every year at this time. As for males, half of them would wear tailcoats, thirty percent would wear a Reciter-style robe, and the rest would wear jackets or coats. 

“……Wearing a dress will only make your shoulders stiff.”

Actually, Kluele had originally planned to participate in the recital contest wearing her school uniform, but the senior students at yesterday’s club activity had preached to her about this matter for two hours. 

No, Kluele! To participate while dressed up prettily should be the intention of female students. Even if your goal is to become a Reciter, it will be the end if you forget about this! Also, you are tall to being with, and you have a good body figure. Are you going to just let go of this chance? Honestly speaking— that’s the situation you’re in. 

—Speaking of chances…… Exactly what chance is this?

Finally, under the threats and powerful persuasion of the senior students, she had decided to take out the dress hidden in the depths of her closet. 

“Hey, Kluele, look. Don’t you think this looks really good?”

Wearing her underclothes, Mio proudly lifted up her own dress. It was pearl-colored and had been modified with prisms so that from the angle of the audience, it would shine with seven colors. 

“Wow, that’s really pretty!”

It was brand new with not a single crease in it. After finding out that Xins Airwincle was coming, she must have hurriedly bought it yesterday. Also, to have it specially match with his title of Rainbow Color Reciter, this really seemed like something Mio would do.

“It certainly is pretty, but Mio, isn’t that too flashy?”

Watching her put on the dress in the crowded room and spin in a circle for everyone to admire, Serges cleaned up her makeup and interrupted.

“There certainly are many students wearing fancy clothing, but last year, apparently many of them received a warning! In addition, those who wore overly exposing clothing were also warned…..  Ah, but you don’t need to worry about that point, Mio. Because in terms of body figure, you still have a long way to go—”

“Ahh, you actually dare to say it! I still care about that!”

Mio pouted. This action seemed completely childish, but nobody dared to point it out.

“Mio, you can head off first. I probably still have to take some time.”

“Okay. Then, I’ll go to the campus first. There’s only thirty minutes left until the opening ceremony, so you should hurry up!”

Carrying dress shoes the same color as her dress, Mio jogged out of the change room. 

Following after Mio, Ada and Serges also left, but in a considerably more graceful manner. Kluele thought that they usually only cared about sports, but she didn’t expect they would also be skilled in putting on makeup. 

Even a small change can make someone seem greatly different than usual. But Mio still lacked this aspect. Kluele let out a laugh while taking her dress out of the bag. 

Alright, next was the major problem.

……This dress, how do you put it on?
