Part 1
“Kazuki, between sparklingly cute and feminine me, or coolly conservative and adult me, which one that you like?”
…Please talk in Japanese, that was what clearly expressed in Kazuki’s bewildered expression.
Mio leaned her body forward even though they were in the middle of the meal, she waited for his reply while her eyes were shining in expectation. Her appearance was still in the cute maid uniform that she wore when they prepared the meal.
The dining table of the Witch’s Mansion became quiet.
“What an extremely narcissist way of talking isn’t it?”
When Koyuki ridiculed her while chewing (hamuhamu[1]) her toast, Mio denied it with red face.
“It’s not like that! Not the uniform or the Magic Dress or the maid uniform, but it’s just when I’m wearing my casual clothes, I’m concerned of what I should wear and what Kazuki thought!”
“It feels like Mio had an obsession in stylish fashion, isn’t it?”
“It’s not to the degree of obsession but…if they are a woman then anyone will be concerned with that, right?”
When Mio said that self-conciously, Koyuki slightly hung her head down.
It appears that Koyuki was disinterested to that kind of thing.
“No, about that there are various kind of girls, isn’t it fine?”
“Then for Kazuki it doesn’t really matter what kind of appearance the girl has? Even though you like the maid uniform so much.”
“That is, if the girl dressed herself up when she come to meet me then I’ll be happy, thinking she is cute.”
Hoshikaze-senpai was laughing “ahaha” after she snapped a sausage (mogumogu[2]) with her mouth.
“No, that is strange for senpai, right!? Please behave yourself like a girl properly!”
“But you see, in my situation, my surrounding is happy when I wear man’s clothes. Moreover can you imagine if I wear skirt even when in my casual clothes? I will look funny, won’t I?”
“It won’t, I said. I want to see senpai in that kind of getup.”
“I will look scary like that don’t you agree-. Like when a boy is participating in crossdressing beauty contest in a cultural festival of boys’ school.”
You’ve got to be kidding, Kazuki was stricken with grief with all his words repelled back like he was standing in front of a wall of steel.
“Hayashizaki-kun, next time let’s go see clothes together. Occasionally doing shopping as bonding between men is cool right?”
“And I said senpai is not a man already…”
“All people in Japan are stylish desu. In Norse Mythology, being ostentatious felt like a sin. Though god that was fashion-crazy like Freia-sama also exist desu.”
Lotte said so while sipping the miso soup. On top of the antique-style wooden table, two kind of breakfast in Japanese and Western style were arranged. Of course the one who made all of it was Kazuki and Mio.
In addition of Lotte, including Leme there were seven people in the Witch’s Mansion. Each of them had their own preference in food.
“Even though there seems to be that kind of Diva, but I feel that Leme is someone who prefer practicality more than aesthetic.”
When Kazuki said that, Leme nodded saying “Unyuu” while chewing nattou in her mouth.
When Kazuki tried to wipe up Leme’s mouth from the side, Leme grew restive and struggle while saying “Sto-op”.
“Mio-chan is stylish, and your trademark twintails is cute too. That kind of style don’t suit me so I’m jealous.”
Kaguya-senpai who sat beside Mio lightly tugged her twintails repeatedly.
“I-I-I-I looked a little childish like this, that’s what I think tho-tho-tho-though.”
To the right, to the left, having her twintails pulled to the left and right alternately like operating a handle, Mio’s face and voice shook (kakukaku[3]) around.
“…I-i-i-if I did my hair in the same style like when we were in the orphanage, I thought that when I reunited with Kazu-nii he will immediately notice me-me-me-me…”
“That, sorry I didn’t notice it.”
“It’s fine already. So, which kind of me that Kazuki prefer!?”
After shaking off Kaguya-senpai who fooled around cheerfully, Mio once again leaned her body forward to him.
“Errr, in short this is about which one is good between [cute group] and [cool group], right?”
Mio was a really girlish girl, but when she fight proudly and awe-inspiringly she also looked like very much of a woman. Both [cute] and [cool], whichever of the two were one side of a girl.
“I think whichever of the two suits you.”
“What’s with that~, that crude reply.” Mio pouted her finely shaped lips.
“I thought both of that side of you looked good when I try to picture it in my mind. Because Mio has both of the cuteness and also the coolness in you.”
“I, is that so? As I thought it’s like that? Ehehe.”
“But why are you suddenly asking that?”
Toward Mio who showed bashful expression in great delight, Kazuki stopped his chopsticks and asked, Mio suddenly stood up from the dining table. Then she abruptly pulled Kazuki’s scruff of the nexk and pulled him up to stand.
“Come with me a little.”
“What’s with you so suddenly, this is still in the middle of meal! Wait a little, I’m just starting to eat the grilled fish after all the difficulties I had in removing the bones from it thoroughly, you know!?”
“Otouto-kun, thank you for removing all the bone! I will eat it with deep gratitude inside! Wow, even the Japanese cuisine is very delicious―, that’s what I think.”
“Please stop Kaguya-senpai-! My grilled fish-!!”
“…Escort.”
Mio led Kazuki until the corridor and said that word.
“Eh?” When Kazuki blinked, Mio suddenly opened the chest part of the maid uniform. His sight was absorbed into it against his better judgment but, a ruby silver necklace was shining at the girl’s shaking breast. The shining combination of gold and crimson was the girl’s trademark.
“Kazuki also has the pair, right? Are you wearing it?”
“Aah, it’s not visible in the uniform but I’m always wearing it.”
“When I gave that to you as present, Kazuki, I said that as thanks for that you will give me a [princess escort] again!”
Kazuki finally recalled it in a flash. What she called princess escort was Mio’s alias for date.
“Aah! When we were going to date before, as the excuse for the next date…”
“It’s not a date! It’s because Kazuki said that he wanted to thank me no matter what, that’s why!”
Mio made a ruckus in embarrassment at this late hour while denying the word date.
“Tomorrow! The Sunday tomorrow! Wait in front of the station at 12 o’clock in the afternoon!”
Mio thrust her index finger sharply at Kazuki.
Then without waiting for the reply, she returned back to the dining room with her twintails trailing her.
“How one sided, though I don’t mind at all. …Somehow, it’s a really peaceful talk,”
A Saturday morning where there was nothing urgent.
If he had to say what worried him, it was something at the level of wondering whether the grilled fish was still remaining.
Speaking of the matter from before…The various regulations of the [Chief Student Council Election] would be decided in the staff meeting this weekend, it looked like it would be announced to the students at the beginning of the next week.
Because Kazuki had been chosen as one of the candidate too, next week he would start the activity for the election.
The day where he could enjoy the peaceful days was only until the end of this week.
…Toward that ends, he could have a pleasurable schedule.
