Omae o Otaku ni Shiteyaru kara, Ore o Riajuu ni Shitekure!:Volume 7 Chapter 1

"What ... What a beautiful lady…"

As I recite those lines, I carefully walked on the stage and approached Snow White who was lying down.

The theater is full of spectators. I was desperately trying to suppress the hard pounding of my heart due to my excitement. I know that the cloak on my back flashes every time I take a step.

I stop in front of the coffin and look at the eyes of the actress playing Snow White who has her eyes closed. Like the genuine Snow White, she was wearing a white dress ... ... No, perhaps a more beautiful girl was lying here.

Glossy black hair. Long eyelashes make shadows on clear and transparent skin. This beautiful actress playing Snow White...... when I think I that I have to kiss her now, my heart will explode.

I was playing the role of the prince of "Snow White" in a program of the cultural festival class.

And playing Snow White's role is ... ... none other than my crush, Hasegawa Midori.

"Beautiful Princess Snow White … please let me comfort you ... with my kiss."

Finishing my dialogue, my tension reaches its climax. I found out that my voice was overwhelmed.

I close my eyes slowly, fold my hips and bend my upper body. The lips of Hasegawa ... little by little, I bring my lips closer. Oh, at last Hasegawa ... ....

"…………Hmm?"

Just before touching the lips of Hasegawa ... ... my consciousness ceased.

When I opened my eyes to see what was going on ...... There was the face of Hasegawa in front of my eyes. I open my eyes little by little, as she brings her face closer to mine.

If you look closely ... ... Hasegawa was dressed in the figure of the prince for some reason.

"Err ... um ... ___ ___ 0

Until now Hasegawa was playing the role of a dead Snow White, what on earth happened? I do not know the reason and causedmy body to awaken.

...... I was lying on the coffin instead of Hasegawa for some reason.

"Kashiwada-kun ... ... It's useless, until I have kissed you ... ... Snow White is still dead."

"Eeehhh……!?"

Hasegawa,who is dressed in a prince costume, says such a thing with a troubled face. She looked upset.

Why, am I playing Snow White? .... I was supposed to be the prince and Hasegawa was supposed to be Snow White.

I was surprised that I looked down on the clothes I was wearing.

What ... ... I was wearing a snow white dress.

"What ... what's this? Aaaaaaahhhh!?"

I awoke with a scream.

I was at my desk in the class.

"Yu, a dream ......?"

Several classmates in the classroom are laughing at me.

I seem to have fallen asleep in the classroom. Looking at the clock, it seems school has finished.

"What's going on .... What kind of intense dream were you having!?"

Kiritani in my was laughing at me like crazy.

It seems that he was amusing himself reading cartoon magazines while watching the way I was suffering while sleeping.

Hmm? What is this ... ... what’s in the air? I am feeling a great sense of dread...

That's it! Dreaming about Hasegawa while sleeping in the classroom ... Screamed while sleeping and messing up ... .... To repeat the same misdeed twice ...... I am certain it has a certain meaning.

However, my dream last time was intense, but there was a sense of reality this time .... Before the cultural festival, dreaming of the cultural festival ... ....

... ... Or rather, today's dream is close to being a dream.

Actually, I in a dilemma of playing the role of Snow White instead of my classmate Koisakimo for our class play "Snow White". Besides that, Hasegawa, my crush, decided to play the role of the prince instead of my classmate Hosokawa who broke down and said he couldn’t play the role of the prince.

Even though I'm very nervous to play the leading role, it is better for me to be with Hasegawa.

Of course, the Snow White play has a kissing scene. Of course, I will not actually do it, but I will pretend to give a kiss, like in my current dream .... I just have to bring my face very closely. Just imagining it will likely get a blushing fit in my face.

By the way, Hasegawa volunteered for a role the role of the prince... why did she do such a thing?

Well, no doubt, since I'm Snow White, she is playing the prince ... ....?

...... That's it!

Since it is only one day left to practice, can she play the prince role? I was worried whether I could act neatly, but I am also worried about Hasegawa. Hasegawa must practice acting by remembering her lines in just one day. Can Hasegawa do it?

I look at seat of Hasegawa. But she isn’t there.

"Hasegawa ... ... did she go home?"

"It seems like she went to the gymnasium together with the guys in charge of lighting and sound for a final check, since it is the last day today."

By the way, Hasegawa is also responsible for the production of the play. I guess she must also participate in the final check.

"Oh I will go as well!"

I rushed up from my chair and left the classroom quickly.

When I entered the gym, my classmates seemed to have finished their final checks and were walking from the stage towards the exit of the gymnasium.

"Hasegawa!"

I found Hasegawa walking alone in it, I called her out.

Hasegawa stops as she notices me.

"Oh, Kashiwada-kun ... ... What's the matter?"

"Oh no, ah, that ... ...."

I sorted my mind out a little as I came up to Hasegawa on impulse, but I was not thinking why.

"Err ... .... Oh, tomorrow's play ... you suddenly decided play the prince ... will you be OK?"

At my words, Hasegawa made that little smile like in Kyoto.

"Well, thanks to my seeing the practice everyday, I remember all the dialogue, so I think I’ll be okay."

"Ehh……!?"

I was amazed by her remarks.

Certainly, Hasegawa who is in charge of directing, was watching the practice every daybesides listening to the opinions of everyone and giving acting guidance and so on.

However, just by watching practice, she was able to remember the lines and acting perfectly .... She has a dang good memory. Incredible. I do not remember anything except my own lines.

"Wow, that's amazing ...... Hasegawa is really amazing ... ...."

In any case, ordinary people who is suddenly asked to play the role of a prince will go out and say that he remembers all the lines and acts perfectly. Hasegawa not only have a good memory;she also has a lot of guts. She did so much to avert this class crisis as the class representative ....

Not only do I love her, I can truly respect her as a human being. Hasegawa is a really amazing person.

"Suddenly the actors have changed and Kashiwada may not be able to do it but ... let's do our best for tomorrow."

Hasegawa smiled thinly towards me.

Even though we are in such a situation, she cares much about me ....

"Yeah! I will do my best! Since Hasegawa worked seriously in the production, I will somehow become a badass!"

Actually I could not think that I could do such a thing but those words came out from me from a desire to reassure Hasegawa. I will try my best.

"... Well ... I'm counting on you, then."

Fufu, Hasegawa laughed. She seems to be not upset at all, even though she will do the acting tomorrow in the production.

Even though Hasegawa can afford to such extent, what will you do with my husband. At best, I have to work hard not to pull the legs of Hasegawa tomorrow. I once felt myself to himself once.

I returned to the classroom with Hasegawa, then we parted as with Hasegawa still has work to do. I left the classroom and went home.

Then, there was Koigasaki in the corridor. She is leaning against the wall and playing with her smartphone. Maybe because her friend, Sasagawa, was still talking to the boys in the classroom, she is waiting for her to finish before going home together.

"That's good,"

As soon as she saw my face, she suddenly said something to me.

"... What is ... what?"

Koigasaki approached me and whispered.

"Hasegawa deciding to become the prince ... ...."

"Oh no ... ...!! Not good at all! I am nervous!"

I quickly denied it. Even though I was keeping my voice down so that my conversation with Koigasakiwould not be heard, my big voice got out.

"............"

Koigasaki looks at me like I said something stupid. I do not know if she was just trying to make fun of me.

"Because it's a great opportunity! If you make the play a success, you may be able to create something like a bond ... .... If the play went well, you can invite Hasegawa to go around with you in the cultural festival."

"Oh well ... well, that's right."

Suddenly being told decent things, I have a little trouble replying. Surely, if that is the case .... If I do well, I can quickly get close to Hasegawa ... ... perhaps. Then, if I can go with Hasegawa around the cultural festival, it is already the best.

"Tch, it seems you are better off."

"What?"

Koigasaki responded to me with something else.

"The live music performance with Suzuki."

"Oh ... .... Ah, oh ... yeah ...."

Koigasaki was slightly upset.

"What about it……"

I thought she would be more enthusiastic, her response is surprising.

"Even so ... ... I hope everyone will watch my performance with Suzuki ...

Koigasaki has an uneasy expression. It is the day before the show ... ... apparently she seems to be more tense and uneasy than feeling pleasure for performing with him.

“Momo ~! I'm sorry I have kept you waiting!"

Sasagawa came out of the classroom.

"Already, Miki is late! .... Then Kashiwada."

"Oh, ah ... ...."

Koigasaki says goodbye then left with Sasagawa.

By the way, recently, I remember that I did not hear almost anything about Koigasaki's practices with the light music club. That person, tomorrow is the real deal. Will she be okay?

However, I that this cultural festival has given me and Koigasaki great opportunities to get close to the people we love. It would be a big progress for me if I could help make the play a success and if I could go around with Hasegawa in the cultural festival during our free time. I feel nervous about the love scene with Hasegawa ... ... I have to do my best with tomorrow so that I can make great progress with Hasegawa.

"Naoki, tomorrow's cultural festival, I decided to go with Akari."

On that night at home, I was relaxing on a sofa while reading a manga magazine. Okaa-san suddenly said something while preparing dinner in the kitchen.

"……eh!?"

I was surprised at the dialogue of Okaa-san and I suddenly looked at the profile of my sister who is silently playing a game next to me. She was staring at the screen of her PSP with a serious expression.

...... Certainly, I remembered that she said she would come to see my play ... ... She did not say it on a whimbut that she really intended to come ... Watching her older brother's high school play, isn’t it fun?

"Wearing women's clothes ...... Also, don’t forget your lines."

Akari said while taking her eyes from the game screen for a moment.

"No, you guys don’t have to come...."

"What are you saying? I always wanted to see you in a play?! Hmm, Naoki is not saying anything, but ... is prince actor also a boy?"

For some reason, Akari becomes interested. Does she think the actor playing the prince role is also a boy? Ah ... ... I forgot to mention that the role of the prince will be played by a girl. I didn’t tell her since I think that it is not a big deal, but I think that I should tell you that now ... .... When my mobile started ringing.

"Naoki’s cell is noisy!"

"Oh ...."

When I answered my cell phone, I was surprised by the name of the caller.

It was ... ... Mr. Yamamoto who is a senior at my work.

Why is Yamamoto calling me? It was the first time I got a call from him, so I am a little curious.

"Hello…"

I press the button and answer the call while going upstairs to my room. Somehow, I don’t want Akari or Okaa-san from hearing our conversation. Both Akari and Okaa-san are noisy.

"Oh, Hello Kashiwada? Can you talk now? "

I hear the voice of Mr. Yamamoto from work.

Mr. Yamamoto is my senior who I can say is the only person I can get along at the karaoke shop where I work.

I do not know what his exact age is, perhaps he is in his early twenties. It seems that he has long worked here and it can be said that he is the team leader. He is a refreshing good young man who is loved by everyone at work. I have a good impression on him as one who gently talks to me while at work.

I thought he was a college student but it turned out recently that he seems to be a part-timer. He seems to be in the middle of job hunting and recently has come to work wearing suits.

He is such a wonderful person, but this his first time to contact me since we exchanged cell phone contacts. I wonder what happened.

To my question,

"Yes, I am free."

When I answered, Mr. Yamamoto started talking with a sorry voice.

"No, actually ... ... Tomorrow, I've want to swap our shifts, I have something urgent to do

___ ___ ___ 0 ___ ___ 0 ___ ___ 0 ___ ___ 0 ___ ___ 0 ___ ___ 0 ___ ___ 0 "

Is that it ...? Tomorrow is Saturday, although I am usually free on Saturdays, that is the day of our high school culture festival. Well, maybe after the cultural festival, I can work in the evening ... ....

"Err, at what time ...?"

“My shift will start from ten o'clock to three o'clock in the afternoon... "

Ten o'clock to three o'clock in the afternoon .... The same time as our play for the cultural festival.

"I'm sorry, I am not available for that time...."

"……I see. You are also busy. It’s OK, sorry for asking suddenly. I will try other people. Thank you."

Yamamoto said in a bright way. I really would like to be able to do him a favor, but I can’t.

"Naoki, dinner!"

I heard a voice calling me from the lower floor, so I headed down to have dinner.

The next day. We celebrated the first day of the cultural festival.

Our class play begins at 10:30 am so we started preparing for the drama as soon as we finish our morning home room.

My classmates were hurriedly preparing in the gymnasium and in the classroom. In the classroom, the actors who will appear in the play are having their makeup done and changing to costumes.

My costume is being prepared by a classmate (though he probably just bought it at Hote). She is holding the Snow White costume, a wig of with bob-cut hair with a red headband; she is probably the costume manager.

"Kyahaha! You look really funny ~"

Amemiya who is a costume clerk (a girlfriend of Koigasaki who I am weak against) together with two other girls were laughing at the sight of me. Because Amemiya lent me a mirror for the first time, I finally get to see what I look like in my Snow White costume.

"... .................. Ugh ......"

While looking at my reflection, I received great damage. Naturally, it doesn’t suit me even for one millimeter, what a bad feeling.

"Gahahaha, it's awesome! It’s sooo catastrophic!"

Kiritani and the others are also laughing Ha ha haa. When I noticed, the majority of my classmates laughed at me as they watched my appearance. Well ............ No, well ... It is better to be laughed at than to be hated through ... ... I desperately consoled myself.

"No, it does not matter, I will apply the make-up now –my first time working with a cross dresser…"

Amemiya was laughing with jerky laughter as she takes a makeup tool out of the pouch. By the way, she asked 'Do you want make up?' Don’t ask me for permission. I was just asking the girls if I need to have makeup. Excuse my ignorance.

"Oh, that's good, try it!"

Before anything, I decided to wear makeup. There is no way I can go against two flashy girl opponents, especially against Amemiya who I am weak against. I sit on a chair and am surrounded by three girls. At first glance it may be a sight that is a dream of every boy, but if I make a slight mistake a moment, I will definitely be bullied.

"Jeeho, this first ... ...."

Amemiya said as I sit in a chair opposite her looking at her face directly. She seems to be troubled on how to apply my makeup. I am very conscious of cute and pretty face is cute and pretty, so I was stiff at our close distance due to my tension.

...... Then I heard footsteps coming from behind me.

"... ... I will do it"

Turning around to the origin of the voice, Koigasaki was there. She is looking at my stupid face.

"Well, Momo can you help in the make up? It's hard stuff."

Amemiya tilted her head curiously.

"... It's OK! Mizuki, do you think you can use your makeup to improve Kashiwada’s looks or something!?"

What ...! What a terrible thing to say! By the way, it seems that Mizuki was the name of Amemiya.

"Well, well, yeah, sure, I thought ..."

She thought!

Koigasaki pushed aside Amemiya, took out her pouch and started making up my face. While getting made up, I gaze into her eyes. I wonder what’s in the wind that made this person decide to put on my make up? The scent of Koigasaki’s perfume drifts to me, and it gets stronger and stronger.

"...... What a funny sight, being surrounded by girls and serving you. It's been a bit more awkward than usual."

"... ... Ha!? Who ... ... Huh?"

I didn’t understand anything. Koigasaki fills up my foundation with a violent hand movement on my face while cursing me. She always carefully make up her face, why is it different for me?

"Ka! Hasegawa-san is super cool!"

At that time, I heard the girls’ squeal. When I looked at the corner of the classroom where the voices came from, Hasegawa in the form of a prince seemed to have finished changing clothes and has now arrived in the classroom.

Both I and Koigasaki’s eyes were nailed to that figure. She has put on a black wig, put on a wide brim hat, a red cloak and a prince-style blue costume with a dagger at the waist.

... ... beautiful .............

I could not believe it.

Beautiful is a word that perfectly fits Hasegawa, even now that she is wearing a manly costume. She looks like a perfect little prince. Like my costume that Amemiya prepared, it fit her perfectly.An authentic beauty will still look perfect regardless of what she is wearing.

The girls are taking pictures of Hasegawa in the prince costume with their mobile cameras. Hasegawa looked a bit embarrassed.

...... In this case, I became concerned about the inner feelings not only of the men but also of the women when facing someone popular.

"You have grown under my nose again, Snow White."

"……eh!?"

Hearing Koigasaki, I saw her watching me with eyes like a shock. She has restarted my make-up with that sullen face. When I tried to talk, I was shouted at, "Do not move your face!" ... ...

"You see, you can do it"

While putting away her makeup tools, Koigasaki told me something inaudible.

"Oh, ... ... is that a mirror?"

I wanted to see what kind of look I have, so I asked Koigasaki.

"What are you going to do after seeing your ugly figure?"

Kugu ... am I that ugly? Koigasaki has a mirror, but she didn’t let me see my reflection.

"... ... at least, try hard not to pull Hasegawa's foot."

"What ... I understand."

"Do you really understand? Because today is a big opportunity, is not it?"

"... Wow!?"

Koigasaki lightly flicked my forehead and went away from me.

...... That guy, did she just encourages me ... why?

"Wow Kashiwada, you looked better before makeup!"

As soon as Kiritani looked at me, he burst out laughing.

"Well!"

I had my makeup but I looked worse than before !? What do you mean? Koigasaki, what did you do? I wondered how ugly I was and I headed to the boys' toilet to look in the mirror. Then, I met Hasegawa on the way.

"Kashiwada-kun ... ... you look wonderful!"

As soon as she saw my face, Hasegawa eyes are shining.

"To make me laugh in today's play ... You will make me laugh when you go up to the stage in that figure! You will definitely make me laugh! I can’t deny a slight sense cruelty from me, but I will grab this opportunity as it is! "

Hasegawa said so much! It will not be long before the day comes ... ....

I feel sad when I think that my face has become a source of amusement for my crush but it seems OK to be the comedy relief in the play ... .... If Hasegawa was glad, I thought it is not too bad. At least for that, I would like to thank Koigasaki ... ....

Making Hasegawa laugh, even though it is just in the play, I can afford it quite enough.

Afterwards, I checked my face in the a male toilet. The color of my face is whitish as it is covered in white makeup, very dark red lips ... this is comedy. This is a terrible makeup that for a girl.

"What……"

I can not believe it. That girl ...... she really did it ...

...... She really followed the appearance of Snow White as written in the play; "skin white as snow, beautiful rosy cheeks, lips red as blood, hair as black as ebony ... ..."

After a while, it was time for the play to start.

On the stage, the actor playing Snow White's stepmother and the girl acting as the magic mirror was on standby.

Tension is felt by our classmates in the audience as well as the actors who are onstage.

The curtains finally rose.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?"

The lights were illuminated on the stage, and the student playing the Stepmother recited his lines.

When I looked at the audience seating at the gymnasium, I saw that all the available seats are filled up. The beating inside my chest gets faster and my legs start to tremble.

"Kashiwada-kun"

When I was called and I turn around, there was a Hasegawa with a worried expression.

"Good luck!"

Hasegawa encouraged me with a loud voice. I nodded silently, I am pleased with Hasegawa's thoughtfulness. I grabbed my fist firmly and turned my eyes to the stage.

"As the moon rose and fell, Snow White grew up to become a lovely maiden.As Snow White grew up, she became more beautiful, and her smile is as bright like the sun in the castle. "

Finally my turn came.

The moment the narration finished, I went out to the stage. I knew that my hands and feet were stiff with tension, but I was not worried.

As soon as I showed up on stage, little laughter blew up in the hall.

It was good, I received it ... .... I felt a little relieved. I have no lines, I just skip over the stage with a smile, but I could not skip well due to my nervousness. Perhaps my poor skip may have been invited the laughter.

Even so, the laughter rose up because I went onstage .... It is amazing in some ways. Maybe, is it thanks to the messy makeup that Koigasaki did to me? Did she make such a makeup on purpose so as to make me funny? ... ... am I thinking too much ...?

After that, I continued to be nervous as ever, I was able to perform smoothly without making a big blunder like forgetting my lines.

From the stage, I found my sister Akari and Okaa-san in the audience. Ku ... ... they really came .... I tried not to mind them as much as possible and concentrated on the play.

Eventually the drama came to climax. Snow White (me) ate a poison apple and died. I was laid on a coffin and is surrounded by the seven dwarfs. I have fragments of apple in my mouth to spit out later. For the moment, I pretended to be silent and dead.

... Finally, this scene came ... ....

"What a beautiful lady she is."

A beautiful voice resonates. It is Hasegawa playing the role of the prince.

Hasegawa's voice is a nice voice that flows well ... ....

"Prince, this lady is not breathing anymore."

"Oh, what a shame ......"

The voice of Hasegawa was dignified, and does not seem to be filled with nervousness. Of course, she remembered the words perfectly, pronounced them well with loud voice full of emotion; giving a wonderful performance that belies her being a last minute substitute. It's an amazing stage performance. Really Hasegawa may be a superwoman. Oh, if I can, I wanted to burn the Hasegawa's brave appearance in my brain... .... but I regret that I can’t open my eyes because I was playing dead.

"Beautiful Snow White, let me give my kiss to comfort you, at least."

That was Hasegawa's line.

── It’s here. Finally it’s here.

I heard Hasegawa’s footsteps approaching the coffin where I lie.

"Bobobelmonte (talk) !!"

The hand of Hasegawa touched my lashes. Oooh, I did not expect her to touch my face, so I was surprised and my face blushed.

I felt a ticklish feeling in my eyes. I see her long hair hanging and touching my lips. I smell Hasegawa's awesome scent at very close range. I could not bear it and opened my eyes for a moment.

Oh oh oh! Hasegawa is trying to kiss me with her eyes closed ...... Her long eyelashes, clear white skin, beautiful pink lips ...... Hasegawa's beautiful face is right in front of me ... I want to see you ... Naturally it is much more powerful than the dream I had yesterday, my heart seemed to burst out soon. I immediately closed my eyes.

".................."

── naturally, Hasegawa's lips did not actually touch my lips.

I thought that I am stupid for expecting even a little Bobobelmonte (talk) 14:47, 21 July 2017 (CEST) only.

After closing my eyes, someone slightly moved my shoulder, like trying to wake me up ......Ya! Next was my acting turn!

"Geeh"

I pretended to cough and spit out the apple pieces I have in my mouth. It is the scene that Snow White spits out the poisoned apple due to the prince’s kiss and comes back to life.

"What have I been doing ...?"

In a panic, I raised my body and said my lines and continued acting as it was.

── Ah, it was ridiculous ... .... I was completely engrossed in the kiss scene that I forgot to act. It would be Hasegawa who struck my shoulder. It seems that she sent me a signal wondering why I did not wake up. Oh, thank you very much Hasegawa for sticking out for me ... ... I am pathetic.

Eventually, the play came to a close.

After the closing narration ends, applause went up from the audience.

I finished all my bows and when I went backstage, I got sick and sat down.

"Kashiwada, thanks to you."

Hasegawa who came backstage at the same time, greeted me.

"Hasegawa .... thank you. In the ki … kiss scene, you sent me a signal by moving my shoulder .... It was a real help."

Hasegawa smiled at my words.

"Hasegawa, I cannot believe that you are just the substitute for the prince role – your performance, speech and acting were perfect! I was surprised!"

Hasegawa thought a little about my words.

"... .... Although I was a bit nervous just before my turn, wasn’t it strange ... ... that when I came onstage, my nervousness was gone ...."

"Wow, that was amazing !? Hasegawa is strong when it comes to the real performance!?"

"............"

Hasegawa kept silent and gazed at me.

"... ............ It might be because Kashiwada was there."

She said with a slight smile.

"……eh!?"

Because her partner in her role was me ... ...? Is it okay to say that it means that she was not nervous because of me? If so, I am happy.

My classmates came closer to us.

"Both Hasegawa and Kashiwada are great!"

The less familiar classmates also put words of praise, I was honestly happy.

Oh, somehow, I managed to get through to the end without making a big blunder ... .... Hasegawa would be happy to be able to speak with my classmates. I thought what would happen slowly over time, but thanks to the cultural festival … I guess it's awesome!

My heart was filled with a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment.

...... Well, we still have another performance tomorrow, though.

After we finished tidying up and was preparing to leave the gymnasium, I found Okaa-san in front of me. It seems she was waiting outside the gym to speak to me. Akari is staring at me with sharp eyes for some reason.

"No way, you got the role of Snow White, hey ~ wow cool!"

Okaa-san was laughing at me.

"You truly came to see me ... ...I … I have to change my clothes now ..."

I am ashamed to be seen by my classmates talking to my family, and spoke in a soft voice while paying attention my surroundings.

"──Haa!?"

All of a sudden, Akari kicked my knee.

"What oh... ... why are you shouting suddenly ...?"

"... ... ... No Naoki - Suzuki! This is Insane! The Metamorphosis broke!"

"What... ... is that ...!?"

"Prince role ... ... I thought he was a man .... he wasn’t ...!"

When I saw her, Akai has teary eyes.

"Oh ... ... Ah, that is ... ...."

"... ... I was looking forward to seeing love scenes between men ... ...."

...... I felt somewhat harsh words from the mouth of Akari, but I decided to ignore them.

This ... rotten sister! She was expecting BL at her older brother's high school drama! Shameful!

"Well then, and then ........ Kiss ... ... and then ..."

"eh!?"

While blushing, Akari said something while trembling.

Chu ...? What are you talking about? Perhaps, the Kiss Scene ...... It was just pretending! Did it look like we actually kissed if we looked at it from the audience point of view?

"……Ah!"

All of a sudden Akari moved her eyes and raised her voice. Following the direction of Akari's eyes, what on earth did you discover?

"Ah……"

In spite of me, I also raised my voice. There was Hasegawa still in her prince costume. She was walking out of the gymnasium, but she noticed us and stopped.

Hasegawa bowed to us both before she started walking again.

"The actor playing the prince role is very beautiful!"

"Kuuu ............ Gou"

Okaa-san greatly compliments Hasegawa while Akari is gazing at the back of Hasegawa with red eyes.

"Is it really just acting? I have a bad feeling about that woman and I'm getting excited!"

Akari says ridiculous things and started beating me up.

"Akari let’s go, look your brother is busy. Bye Naoki."

Okaa-san forcibly pulled the hand of Akari who was beating me and said goodbye.

As I look at the two leaving the gymnasium, I was saved from an angry Akari for the time being and I felt relieved as I gently caressed my chest. No way, Akari came to see the play expecting a males’ kiss scene ... .... While she is my sister, she is a ridiculous person.

At the doorway of the gymnasium, I see familiar figures.

"Oh, Kashiwada ... ...."

Koigasaki and Sakurai were talking.

"I was tired, did I miss anything?"

Koigasaki spoke some unfriendly words to me.

"Nice drama, cheers for good work! It was good" -

Ms. Sakurai also called to me.

"Er ... Sakurai, did you see the play?"

Although she said that she wanted to see the play, she really came ... ....

"Oh, yes……"

Sakurai nodded. But ... what is it? I feel awkward with her smile like that doesn’t look like she was happy for some reason.

"Ah, that, that ... ...."

Sakurai opens her mouth feeling somewhat irritated.

"Hmm?"

As I look at her face and ask,

"... ............Nothing!! Well ...... The play was very interesting! The audience seating was also good! The acting of Snow White by Kashiwada was also good ... ...."

After waving her hands a little bit, she made a smile again and said such things.

"Well, yeah ... ... Thank you ..."

Despite feeling something unnatural in her attitude, I reply.

"Well, that ... and the one playing the role of the prince was also very beautiful and good-looking! Momo told me that because no boy wanted to take the role of the prince, a substitute was chosen but I didn’t think that the substitute could act that good ... .... "

"Eh!? ... ... That’s great ~! Even when I practice, I get nervous and give a poor performance, but her amazing performance helped on the stage. Even if she was just a substitute ... .... "

Sakurai complimented Hasegawa, so I got excited and also praised Hasegawa.

"............"

In a hurry, I realized. I am hiding the fact that I like Hasegawa so if I do this kind of thing I might be suspected ....

"........................"

Sakurai stared at the state of me who suddenly became quiet. She was looking at my eyes with a slightly surprised expression.

"... .... Ah ... I remembered I have a duty of at class so ... ... I will excuse myself! Momo-chan, do your best at the live performance!"

Sakurai said her goodbye then hurriedly left us.

Koigasaki was standing behind Ms. Sakurai ... ... somehow she was watching us with a worried look. She suddenly turned her face towards me and stared at me sharply.

"What ... What is it!?"

"... ... Nothing."

Koigasaki answered blandly and returned to the classroom.

...... What on earth was that? Sakurai's acting a little strange, but the attitude of Koigasaki is also incomprehensible ... ....

Then I also got back to the classroom and changed back to my uniform. I washed my face in the toilet to remove my makeup. There were no classes so students can come and go freely from their classrooms to change their clothes removal.

I finished the play which is the project of my class, and because I was not part of any club, I am completely free.

Of course I wanted to invite the Hasegawa and go around the cultural festival with her... .... I thought.

However, when I went back to the classroom from the toilet, there was no Hasegawa there. I wished I had invited her to "Let's go around the cultural festival together" before I lost sight of her .... Of course, I don’t know the activities of Hasegawa for the cultural festival. Hasegawa is not in any club, but she may have work as our class rep ... maybe she promised to go around the cultural festival with other people.

I tried looking lightly around the classroom, but I could not find Hasegawa. I would like to try contacting her on mobile, but ... honestly, I don’t have the courage to do that. If I interrupt her when she is busy with other things, I might become a man who can’t read the atmosphere.

Usually, you go with your close friends around the cultural festival, but Suzuki seems to be the only person I can call close. However, he is busy with his club activities, as well as Kiritani, my classmate.

I decided to keep looking for Hasegawa casually while casually going around the cultural festival alone. It is most important to go around the cultural festival with someone ... ....

I wandered around the school aimlessly and because I don’t want to return to my classroom, I went out to the school yard and bought yakisoba at a shop, sat on a flowerbed in a corner of the schoolyard and ate quietly. I would be very embarrassed if someone saw me alone in class, so I kept aware of my surroundings all the time.

While many students are enjoying the cultural festival with their friends and lovers, I was on the verge of tears for being alone. I may have been crying without shedding tears.

Haaaaa…. When I finished the play a while ago, I was able to make my crush happy and the play a success; the culture festival seems nice! I was pretty much charged up! I was thinking ...? What is this like. No, this is my real figure ... .... I happened to play the leading role, and I was in a happy state of mind, being floated by the mood of the cultural festival. Now, I am far from being in my childhood going to festivals I like; now I have no one to hang around with, no one to look around together; alone, alone ... ... Haaaaa. Last month, I remember then that I went out with Hasegawa and attended a fireworks festival. I really enjoyed that time ... .... Now it seems like that event was just a dream.

After a long depression, I looked at the clock in the school building and remembered something.

Late in the afternoon, on the live stage of Mihonbuki is where Koigasaki and Suzuki will perform. It is a little before the start time.

No matter how much I am depressed, I must see let them see my brave face. I got up with heavy feet and turned to the gymnasium where the live music performance will be held.

"Ah……"

"Oh, Kashiwada-kun!"

In the corridor on the way to the gymnasium, I encountered an unexpected person.

Sakurai was there. When she came to see our play a while ago, she was in uniform but now she is dressed in a Minisuka policeman costume.

"You look awesome!?"

From the blue tight mini skirt that seems to be able to understand the line of the buttocks, beautiful white feet are slurry and stretched.

Because Sakurai has a good figure, no matter what costume, it will suit her .... If you were the police, I won’t mind being carried to jail anytime.

"Akuto ... ... My class is doing a jail café."

Sakurai explains with a little shy smile. A cute shy smile.

"Prison cafe?"

"Men are the prisoners, the girls are the Minisuka police, and afterwards, the menu items are named like prison food ..."

"Oh, that sounds interesting!?"

"I was on duty until a while ago, I did not have time to change, so I came like this!"

By the way, you are like saying you don’t have class duty from now on.

"Is your duty done already?"

"Yes, I have already finished my duties and since I have no club activities, I am free. Did Kashiwada change the Snow White costume?"

That's right, I heard about it that once in a while, Sakurai skipped out the school.

"Oh yeah, if I go out with such a dress, it's embarrassing ... ..."

"Well, that's not true! I guess it would be more fun if you left it on?"

Sakurai says with a laugh to make fun of me.

".................."

Then suddenly she has a serious look and looked at my face as though she decided on something.

"........ Ah, there ... .... There was something I am curious about ...... I was about to ask it earlier but ... can I ask it now? "

"Well ok."

What was she interested in? Why was she hesitant to ask about it a while ago?

She took a deep breath and asked.

"The Ki… Ki… Kiss Scene ...... Did you ... .... did you really ...?!"

"What!"

I was surprised at the question and raised my voice.

I was embarrassed and I immediately replied.

"No, no ... we really did not do it! Of course we didn’t!"

I hurriedly told the truth. Did it really look like we kissed from the audience point of view?

"Haaaaaaaah…………"

Sakurai made a relieved sound.

"....... Ah, that I was ... ... Ha ha ... ... That's right ... .... What was I thinking ..."

She has a smiling face and was blushing as well.

What’s with this reaction?

...... Was she wondering whether I really kissed Hasegawa ...?

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Momo-chan's performance will be starting already!"

Sakurai shouted when she saw my watch.

"Oh, yeah!"

I completely forgot. I was heading to the gym in order to see the performance of Koigasaki and Suzuki ....

"Ah, Sakurai also came to see the live performance of Koigasaki?"

"Yeah! Kashiwada-kun let's go together!"

We headed to the gym running.

... ... While we were going , I could not help but wonder about her question and her reaction to my answer.

When we entered the gymnasium, the concert has already begun.

Onstage was Suzuki singing while playing the guitar. Suzuki 's singing voice was echoing throughout the gym. Well, Koigasaki only will sing the last song, the first two songs will be performed by the members of the light music club with Suzuki singing lead ... ... that’s what Suzuki told me in advance.

Suzuki was singing a cover song of a popular Japanese band that was featured in a recent movie or something. Because Suzuki loves Jpop, it probably a song that other members also like.

"That vocalist is Kashiwada's friend ... was not it? Was he in the cosplay ...."

Sakurai who is watching next to me asked.

"Oh, yeah."

By the way, Sakurai knew that I and Suzuki did a cosplay of the anime "Psychicals". I also remember well.

"Suzuki - kun!"

I noticed some girls having a studded yellow cheek like Suzuki. ...... and I noticed that 80% of the audience were girls. Most of them are Suzuki’s fans ....

But ... I can understand the girls' feelings. Suzuki is handsome ... his songs and guitar skills are very high, compared to the skills of the other band members; the difference was so clear as I could understand see even if I am just an amateur. Listening to his performance makes me think what a great guy he is. Although I am perplexed in the difference from the cocky lolicon guy that I usually encounter.

".... Kashiwada, you seem to be a little entranced ... Maybe you just fell in love with your friend because of his good looks ...?!"

"...... Ha ha! What are you talking about ...?!"

Suddenly Sakurai shakes me for something weird.

"Ha ha ... ... it just looked to me like Kashiwada's face suddenly changed like that ... ... Sorry!"

Sakurai hurriedly apologized but she looked like she was excited as her face was colored red.

No, I certainly thought that Suzuki is not good for me ....

Ms. Sakurai’s misunderstanding is embarrassing ... ... Did we just inspire a BL delusion? In retrospect, it seems that there have been several events where we seemed to be like that .... Sakurai - san is a rotten girl for 3D people ...?

Because I was thinking with a complex expression, Sakurai became uneasy and apologized again.

"Ah ... ... Sorry, I am sorry ... my imagination ran away ... ... Kashiwada is awkward to be made a side dish of a girl girl ... ...."

Side dish!? What do you say suddenly?... what a dangerous eruption ....

"I know but there is no way I can’t be excited for being obsessed with that kind of situation ... Wow, I'm really sorry ..."

Sakurai added that she felt depressed.

However, I can appreciate someone who loves to indulge in her imagination, even if it is a BL involving me ... .... Well I guess I also have a feeling of Hyakka Moe and I think that each other may be pretty if the girls caught each other casually. ...... even if her BL imagination is disagreeable, a guy should be able to accept it if he is physiologically strong. I believe that Suzuki will also not mind ... .... No, there is no deep meaning for that.

"Oh no, I do not feel unpleasant. Well I'm not a homosexual but ... if you just want to be delusional, I do not mind …you can freely enjoy yourself ..."

I'm talking honestly. I don’t want to Sakurai, who keeps apologizing with an uneasy expression, to think that I think poorly of her.

"Well, you what!? Do you officially recognize my hobby!?"

Sakurai seemed to be amazed at my words, she gazed at me with the brightest eyes ever. I was surprised at this reaction.

"Thank you very much ... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Kashiwada-kun ... ... It's really nice ......! I am impressed ... ... Ha, ha ...... ideal for girls He is ... ... then I thankfully will continue to make you a delicious side dish ...!

Sakurai holds her mouth while blushing. Eyes are violent, it may be the first time to see her being so excited.

"Oh, yes, yes ... ...."

...................

I was told by a girl, "You are going to be a side dish" and I accepted it ....

"... .... Ah... ... Kashiwada's friend ... ... Suzuki-kun is he ... is he Momo-chan's crush ...?."

Sakurai turned around and asked with a calm tone.

"Did you hear that from Koigasaki?"

While I was surprised a little by Ms. Sakurai, I asked. "Yes, Momo-chan ... ... told me that Kashiwada and she have an agreement on help each other's love affair ... "

On the day when I joined the club event on coterie event, Koigasaki certainly said "I will tell you everything, Azuki-chan ..." Oh, really, she told Sakurai everything.

"I have misunderstood things until now ... ... It is really embarrassing ... ...."

Sakurai says, with a bitter smile on his face.

Certainly, until now she seems to have a weird misunderstanding about the relationship between me and Koigasaki .... I solved the big misunderstanding and it was really good.

Eventually the first song finished.

"Thank you very much ~"

As soon as Suzuki thanked the audience, the screams of girls' went louder. Ooooo, there are more Suzuki fans than I expected ... ... Of course, the majority of girls in this gym are Suzuki 's fans ....

"Well then, the next song is one I composed."

Suzuki's words bring cheers and applause. Huh……? Suzuki composed a song ...? He was able to do such sophisticated things ...... Never mind what kind of song it is.

"Here it is ......"Unrequited forever""

As soon as Suzuki told the a song title, the performance starts.

"Unrequited Forever" ...? Reading the title, it's a love song, is not it ...? Suzuki wrote a love song? I do not know the reason. It seems like love is the last thing on his mind ... ....

Soon after Suzuki's song began, I sharpen my ears and listened to the lyrics.

"How long have you been falling in love with you?

I know that this feeling will not arrive in the future

Your innocent smile I really want to own it

There are no other people who can love you more than I.

No matter how I feel I can’t even touch you

Unrequited love will not pay off This love is too spicy

Nevertheless I was glad that I met you

Today I think that I am happy to be liked. "

... .........................

A catchy melody. Bad lyrics. I thought it was a good song, even if I had to choose a favorite song that my friend made.

Surely, if one does not know Suzuki well, he will believe that it is a genuine orthodox love song.

But I understand.

This is ... ... probably not a simple love song.

That guy ...... It's probably a love song "I made for my favorite 2D character".

"This feeling will not arrive in the future" "I can’t even touch you even though I thought of it", "love not to be repaid" ... While listening to such lyrics, I got hung up. I am the same otaku and probably not a few other Otakus will feel such emotions for their favorite 2D characters ... I think I was able to notice.

Surely all the girl who screaming in the audience is not aware of this, I guess they think that it is a pure love song.

"...... That song is not ... No, it's impossible to say that ... Well, but, like lyrics, how to think ... ...!"

Sakurai told such a thing, so Sakurai also realized the real meaning this song ... ....!?, I thought for a moment but seems to be quite different as she sees. I'm getting excited for some reason and I'm glancing at her.

............ No, it's infinitely a misplaced BL paranoid thing that she is thinking ... .... What is being delusional is not clear to see inside her brain, I wonder how far is her delusional abilities ... ....

Eventually the second song is over, cheers and applause rose in the hall.

"Thank you very much ...... Then the next song will be the last song"

Suzuki's word "the last song" raised the complaints of the spectator girls student "What?"? Suzuki goes into explaining the next song.

"The next song is a cover of a popular song by Vocaloid "Rikyu Konbo", the song "I am your princess”. This song is pretty cute song, but since I cannot sing it well, I have a special guest to sing it ... So please. "

When Suzuki calls towards the backstage, Koigasaki, wearing a costume, came out with a nervous look.

"Momo ──っ!"

Girls who are friends of Koigasaki cheer for her from the audience seats.

"Oh well, well ...... Momo-chan!"

Next to me, Sakurai gave a spirit and sent a kiss to Koigasaki. I am heartbroken .... so I can’t do that.

"Koigasaki───!"

The boys (20% of the audience) also shout out the name of Koigasaki with a bold voice. Are they also fans of Koigasaki ...?

Koigasaki is wearing a white dress and has a big hair ornament, her hair and makeup were more intense than usual. She came on the same stage with Suzuki, fully armed and decorated ... ....

"Momo-chan, she’s so beautiful ..."

Sakurai was enchanted with the appearance of such love girls.

"First year Class A Koigasaki-san is not a light music club member but she can really sing!"

"Wait ... ... I will sing so hard, so, thank you!"

Wow .... I'm getting nervous. With that build-up introduction ... .... Can you sing properly? I'm getting worried.

After Suzuki's intro, the performance starts. Koigasaki clasped the microphone tightly with both hands, and concentrated her eyes closed.

Eventually the song began.

... .........................

It seems that my worries were completely unnecessary.

Koigasaki’s singing was wonderful! She is singing much better that she was during karaoke.

"...... Momo-chan .... wow, she's amazing ... ...."

Suddenly, Sakurai looked up at the stage with a feeling and looked right at her.

"I finally realized that you are my prince.

I want to be your only princess. "

I could hear the lyrics of the song clearly. Koigasaki will be singing this song ...... while thinking of Suzuki. That's why she is singing with all her might, I thought.

After finishing the first stanzas, during the interlude, Koigasaki separated the mike from her mouth and looked at Suzuki. And ... Suzuki was also looking at Koigasaki while playing the guitar, and then he smiled at Koigasaki. Koigasaki also laughed shyly so as a response to it.

It was a momentary event, but I did not miss it.

....... Whatever, Koigasaki ... ... How do I say it … she and Suzuki are going well ...?

Koigasaki ... ... while practicing with the club for the cultural festival, the distance between her and Suzuki surely shrunk without me knowing.

It was good, Koigasaki ... .... Really really good ...

But why is it .... This bit of a feeling that something got stuck in my heart ... ....

Eventually, after the third song was finished, the live music of the Mihonbu part ended successfully, as appreciated by the audience.

"Momo-chan's song, it was awesome ~!"

Sakurai praised Koigasaki's performance with a full smile.

"Oh, yes ... That's right."

I tried desperately to make Sakurai not notice that I am upset.

"Oh, that ... ... Kashiwada, what are you going to do after this?"

"Well? After this? Since I finished my classes, I am free. I will be hanging around alone ......"

While saying, I was truly embarrassed with myself. I do not have any friends. You are supposed to know that Ms. Sakurai ... ....

"Well, that's right ... ...!"

Sakurai is surprised at my words, then looks down and starts thinking about something.

"Oh ... .... Ah, that ... ... well if it's okay ... why do not we go around the cultural festival together ...?!"

"eh……!?"

I was surprised and I could not say anything for a moment.

"Ah ... is it ... OK?"

"Yes, we can do that! Rather, I will be saved!"

No way Sakurai invited me ... ... It was unexpected, but I was delightful.

"Ho ... ... is it true !? Really, are you OK with me?"

"Of course!"

"... ............ Good thing ..."

As soon as she heard my words, Sakurai has a soft smile.

In this way, I decided to go around the cultural festival with Ms. Sakurai. I was thankful that I thought missed the lonely feeling of having to go around the cultural festival alone.
