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

===Part 2===

On one corner of the square campus. When Kluele arrived at the meeting place of first-year students, the students had already finished lining up according to their classes. At the very end of the 1-B line, was a boy who was a head shorter than the students around him.

“Ah, Kluele-san, good morning.”

Kluele waved in response to Neight, who was wearing a dark blue robe. The size of the robe was too big, so it didn’t fit him very well. Even so, it certainly gave him the outward appearance of a Reciter.

“Good morning. The weather is great today.”

There wasn’t a single cloud in the sky. Extremely dazzling sunlight forced everyone to their eyes. 

“Found you, found you! Kluele, and Neight-kun is here also!”

She turned to face the voice coming from behind her. Several meters behind, Mio and Serges were coming closer. 

“We went looking for you, but it seems like we missed you.”

“……Speaking of which, Kululu—”

Mio stared fixedly at Kluele.

“What?”

“Nothing. I was just thinking, Kluele’s body figure really is great. It’s really suited for wearing a dress.”

“Eh?”

Mio had suddenly said those nonchalant words. Furthermore, there was a boy standing beside her. Would an average person say something like that? Just when that notion crossed her mind, even Serges began to nod, “Yeah, yeah!”

“Also, the dress you’re wearing looks pretty good, let me admire it for a moment— Ah, wow! It’s an open back dress!”

Mio, who had circled around behind her, let out an exaggerated shout. 

“……I only have this dress, so it can’t be helped.”

Kluele wore a mermaid-style dress. 

A swath of pure white cloth was the main material, with vertical streaks of blue coming down from the left shoulder. A heavier part of the collar hung down as decoration. It seemed that this dress was originally meant to be worn to dances. Like the name of a mermaid suggested, this dress had a close-fitting design, so that even if you didn’t want to, it would still reveal the curves of your body. 

However, it seemed that showing the curves of her body wasn’t too bad.

“Mio, don’t worry. It’s too bad that my opponents are too strong.”

Serges surveyed her while nodding.

“This kind of high-quality material is very rarely seen, especially the chest and the waist’s—”

“That’s enough, Serges. If you keep going…… I’m going to get angry!”

Before she had finished speaking, Kluele moved her face in front of Serges’s nose. Even if she was praising her, why must she say it in front of so many people?

Just when Kluele turned around to escape the gazes of people around her—

[Really? I don’t think there’s much difference between her physical body—]

She didn’t know when, but the lizard on Neight’s shoulder had slowly lifted up its head.

……How should she respond at a time like this? It would be regrettable to agree, but denying it would earn comments from Mio and Serges.

“Ah, ah! Arma, you shouldn’t talk!”

Neight wanted to hurriedly cover its mouth, but the lizard easily broke free from his grip. 

[I think I’ve heard that voice somewhere before.]

“……What, is this lizard talking?”

Serges glanced at the lizard, astonished.

“He’s Neight’s pet.”

To retaliate, Kluele quickly added that sentence. 

[Hey, little girl—]

The reptile hadn’t finished speaking, when the sound of the clock declaring the beginning of the opening ceremony resounded throughout the campus.
