When I Became a Girl, an Unexpected Love Quarrel Occurred! - CH 97

With Yurizono-san’s motivation, we immediately decided to hold a workshop on panel making.

So here we are, standing in front of Yurizono-san’s room.

I gulped and swallowed my spit.

What on earth is behind the door?

I feel like I’m standing in front of the gates of the Demon King’s castle.

“Is it safe to enter”

Standing next to me, Takanashi-san murmured with an uneasy expression and gently took my hand in hers.

I felt Takanashi-san’s soft, thin hand on mine.

I’m frightened. Takanashi-san is scared.

I have to be strong.

The Demon King’s Castle is nothing to be afraid of.

“Please come in.”

That’s what I said, and Yurizono-san easily opened the door.

“Huh?”

What I saw beyond the door was a tidy room with a calm atmosphere.

Takanashi-san was puzzled as she held my hand.

I guess she thought that since it was Yurizono-san’s room, there would be posters of me and Alice plastered all over the walls, life-sized panels, life-sized figures, and so on.

I thought so too.

But there were no strange things at all.

There were only desks, bookshelves, and beds. All of them were simple, yet had a luxurious feel to them.

It was exactly what I would expect from a young lady’s room.

This is Yurizono-san’s room.

It’s too different from what I imagined.

“It’s not what I had imagined.”

Kiniwa-san, who had her hand on her cheek, muttered with a smile but with regret.

It seems that she was expecting a room that was typical of Yurizono-san.

“I was also surprised when I saw it for the first time. I couldn’t believe how decent this idiot’s room was.”

Alice, who was standing next to Yurizono-san, raised her voice as she looked at me.

I remembered that Alice slept with Yurizono-san.

The reason why she didn’t say anything about the room is because there was no problem.

“Is this Arisu room?”

Yanomiya-san, who was scurrying around the room, tilted her head and looked up at Yurizono-san and asked.

“It’s Arisu’s room and yet it smells as much like Arisu as it does like Alice.”

Yanomiya-san, who trotted into the room, sniffed and muttered.

Smell?

“Little one, you can borrow this.”

I don’t know where she took it from, but she held out a large, thick book to Yanomiya-san.

“Oh! An insect illustrated book! I’ve never seen an illustrated book like this! It’s amazing! I’m so happy! Thank you, Arisu!”

With shining eyes, Yanomiya-san received the illustrated book while thanking her. She then sat down and began to read the book.

Yurizono-san has an honest side to her, lending an insect book to Yonomiya-san who loves insects.

“Fufu, I see.”

Kiniwa-san suddenly muttered.

She turned around and looked at Sunaniwa.

“Even Yurizono-san is weak against Kuu-chan.”

When Yurizono-san saw her, Kiniwa-san shrugged her shoulders with a smile.

Everyone is vulnerable to Kuu-chan, you know. Because she’s cute.

With that in mind, I looked at Yanomiya-san.

She was sitting on the floor, reading an illustrated book with her eyes shining.

She’s so cute.

“This is the large printer I bought for the panel.”

Yurizono-san said, clanking the huge printer.

The huge printer was placed near the wall in Yurizono-san’s room.

It’s not just a little big. It was probably a custom-made printer for business use.

“I know I’ve said a lot of great things, but the poster part is easy because all I have to do is import the image into my computer and print it out on this printer.”

Yurizono-san explained with a frown.

She didn’t want to say in front of everyone that anyone with a machine could make it.

“The hardest part is the panel where the posters are attached. Using cardboard or styrene is easy to process, but you can’t expect it to be strong. If you use acrylic, it’s strong enough, but it’s hard to process. However, if you have enough people, I don’t think it will take too long to process.”

Strong material is difficult to work with, while a material that is easy to work with has a lower strength.

I see.

“The problem is that I can’t make a better panel than the one I made before. I don’t know what kind of panel the giant mulberry monster will come up with, but I can’t improve the quality any further. So how can we win?”

Yurizono-san, who had been gazing at me, tightened his expression and stated emphatically.

Well, that’s true. The only thing that would improve the quality would be the resolution of the images and the performance of the printer.

And at present, the computer and printer that Yurizono-san has are probably the best.

In other words, as Yurizono-san said, she can’t make anything better than the panels she made before.

So how can we fight the giant mulberry monster?

“Yes, I have a suggestion!”

Kiniwa-san, who raised her right hand with a pinch, shouted with a big smile on her face.

I have a bad feeling about this.

“If we can’t improve the quality of the panel, we should ask the models to do their best!”

At Kiniwa-san words, Yurizono-san and Takanashi-san widened their eyes.

“Asking the models to do their best, that it!”

“We’re going to ask them to cosplay in various ways and take pictures!”

Yurizono-san raised her voice, followed by Takanashi-san.

Then they looked at each other and nodded and looked at Kiniwa-san at the same time.

“Kiniwa Ena!”

“That’s a great idea!”

They shouted breathlessly, and each grasped Kiniwa-san’s hand tightly.

“Now all we have to do is get Mirisu’s consent!”

“That’s right! If we can get Alice’s approval, I’m in!”

They called out to each other and looked at Alice at the same time.

Hey, hey, hey! I’m the one who’s going to cosplay, right? And you’re not going to ask for my approval?

Well, if we’ve come this far, I’m not going to get upset over a cosplay.

I’m the one who started this in the first place, and I’m going to do whatever I can to help.

But even if it’s okay with me, it won’t be okay if my sister says it’s not okay.

They indeed need to get Alice’s approval.

That’s what I thought, and I looked at Alice.

She sniffed at the attention of everyone, her mouth agape and her arms crossed.

“I’m not too keen on making a spectacle out of onee-chan, to be honest. But her dream is to make Rin the student body president. Onee-chan is willing to make a spectacle of herself for it. Then I want to respect onee-chan wishes.

At Alice’s words, Yurizono-san and Takanashi-san’s eyes lit up and they broke out into big smiles.

“There is a condition, though. No cosplay that exposes too much skin, ever. It’s partly because I don’t want people to see onee-chan skin, but more than that, it’s not like onee-chan. If you’re going to have onee-chan wear a cosplay, make sure it’s in keeping with Minazuki Amane style. That’s the only and absolute requirement.”

Alice, who had been staring at them with keen eyes, said with a strained expression.

In her eyes and voice, I felt an incredible will.

“You’re right, Mirisu! You’re right! The reason why Amane-san is so attractive is that she is so Amane-san!”

“That’s right! That’s Amane’s sister! An Amane who doesn’t look like an Amane isn’t an Amane! That’s what Amane is all about! That’s what brings out the best in Amane!”

After accepting the conditions that Alice had set, they rushed over to her and each grabbed Alice’s hand tightly and shook it with a buzz.

Alice is embarrassed, her cheeks flushed, and she sniffed.

“It seems to be going well.”

I turned my gaze to the voice I heard, and before I knew it, Kiniwa-san was standing next to me, smiling as she looked at the three of them with kind eyes.

It was surprising that Alice readily agreed, and the only condition was to put my personality first.

It’s hard to believe that Alice, who has always been spoiled by me, is saying this.

She’s been spending a lot of time with Yurizono-san and taking care of her childish nature, so perhaps she’s becoming a big sister.

“But what about the costumes for cosplay?”

Suddenly, Takanashi-san raised her voice.

“Ah, I have that in my room.”

Yurizono-san, who responded to Takanashi’s words, hardened with a smile for some reason.

What’s the matter?

“It’s in your room, in the closet? Can I see it?”

After saying that, Takanashi-san approached the closet, turned around, and asked Yurizono-san.

Yurizono-san froze with a smile and did not say anything.

Takanashi-san tilted her head when she saw Yurizono-san

Ah, no way, is there something in the closet that you can’t show?

I’ve always thought it was strange that there was nothing in the room, but I guess that’s what it is.

“You don’t really have anything weird stuffed in your closet, do you?”

“I’m sure you’ve been thinking the same thing,” said Alice to me with her eyes, and approached the closet.

“I’ll confiscate it if it’s full of pictures of onee-chan.”

After saying that to Yurizono-san, Alice opened the closet door.

“Hmm?”

The door was opened and there was nothing in the closet.

Nothing. It was empty.

Sweat trickled down Yurizono-san’s cheeks as she froze.

Something was obviously wrong with Yurizono-san. And it’s also strange that there’s nothing in the closet.

“Uh, oh, um!”

I suddenly heard a voice.

I looked at Iris0san, who was clearly upset and fumbling around by herself.

Speaking of which, Iris-san hadn’t spoken at all so far.

That’s suspicious. This is very suspicious.

Alice and Takanashi-san were also looking at me with discomfort in their eyes.

“Oh, bath! Let’s take a bath! There are a lot of us today, so if we don’t get in early, we’ll be late!”

Iris-san raised her voice in a panic.

It was obvious that she was desperately trying to divert the conversation.

This is it. I think she knows something.

“I’ll go in with Iris-san and Kuu-chan, and Rin-chan will go in with Amane-chan and Alice-chan.”

“What?”

Suddenly, Kiniwa-san raised her voice, and Takanashi-san, who had been staring blankly at me, instantly turned bright red.

Wait, me with Takanashi-san?

“I-I-I-I can!? I can take a bath with Amane?”

Takanashi-san, who could not hide her excitement, was tapping Sunaniwa on the shoulder.

No, so why are you asking Kiniwa-san instead of me?

“I’ve already taken a bath. I also have a question for the frozen idiot.”

Alice raises her voice while looking at Yurizono-san with furtive eyes.

Indeed, Alice is already in the bath.

But if Alice doesn’t go in with me, then… I and Takanashi-san will be alone in the bath?

That’s not good! I’m happy, but it’s not good!

“You wanted to take a bath with onee-chan, didn’t you? And no rule says you can’t take a bath twice. If you don’t want to, that’s fine.”

Alice reacted to Kiniwa-san’s words with a snap.

“I’m in.”

Alice, who had taken back her words splendidly, brilliantly retracted her previous statement, nodded her head.

Seeing that Alice nodded, Yurizono-san, who had been frozen, patted her chest in relief, and Iris-san was also relieved.

Kiniwa-san, you’ve obviously protecting Yurizono-san.

I wonder if she knows something about it.

“T-Then, Amane… let’s take a bath together?”

“Eh? Ah, yes.”

I nodded in response to the question.

Takanashi-san, who was looking at me with a bright red face and upturned eyes, was fidgeting shyly.

That was it! I nodded because I was curious about Yurizono-san, but maybe she and Takanashi-san could take a bath together!

C-C-Calm down. Alice’s with me. If she’s with me, I’m sure my reason won’t collapse.

It’ll be okay, it’ll be okay.

I told myself that over and over again as my heart was beating so hard it was about to burst.
