Episode 51: Shopping and Insight
Points to note when moving around in the Kisou Academy Autonomous Zone!
One! Do not wander around aimlessly!
At worst, you might be dragged into an alley and donated for human experimentation.
If you do get dragged in, be sure to call the discipline committee with all your strength.
Two! Do not stand out!
There are countless dangerous organizations and individuals in Kisou Academy that you don’t want to attract attention from.
Stick to the background.
Three! Do not cause trouble!
If students from other schools cause problems in Kisou Academy, it could escalate into a war.
Avoid causing trouble as it will also bring inconvenience to your own school.
“Stop going to such places already.”
There’s a costume I can’t obtain unless I go there.
That’s all.
With that said, I am currently in the autonomous zone of Kisou Academy.
Moreover, this is the central district, adjacent to the commercial area for tourists, so there’s a lot of foot traffic.
Not just students, but people who clearly look like they’ve come from outside are often seen here.
This area is relatively safe, without any incidents of kidnapping.
Still, if I were spotted by Rokuhara, I’d be done for no matter what happens.
Even so, I came to the Kisou Academy Autonomous Zone because there are Gothic Lolita costumes here that can actually be used in combat.
Many of these kinds of costumes aren’t designed to withstand fierce battles or bullets.
Wouldn’t those who wear Gothic Lolita costumes be fine with that?
I think safety should still be a concern.
“Gothic Lolita doesn’t need safety, though.”
That’s a lie.
Since I became a Mysterious Beautiful Girl, I’ve been involved in quite a number of fights, you know?
A regular Gothic Lolita outfit would tear during a fight.
Then the concept of a Mysterious Beautiful Girl would change.
It might even get an R rating.
“You did plenty of that kind of stuff against Gata Toraku not too long ago, didn’t you?”
I don’t remember.
I’ve forgotten about that old stuff.
Alright, let’s go shopping～ ^^
“Yay～ ^^”
I made my way to a ridiculously huge building that straddles both the commercial and central districts.
There’s a great store on the eleventh floor of this building.
The windows are designed to be open, and outside them, there are many equally ridiculous skyscrapers.
And yet, none of them are the main school building. What’s up with their capital?
From here, though, it’s hard to tell what role each building serves….
When reading the original work, it was easy to understand because there were always footnotes provided. But from the outside, they all look the same.
“Hmm, that sharp building on the right. There’s something there… I wonder what. Can’t really tell from here. Should we check it out?”
Were you listening to me?
I said not to cause trouble.
You’re suggesting Solciera rushes in, right? Absolutely not.
“I see… I thought I sensed my younger sister.”
Then it must be Eina, right?!
Absolutely not allowed!
“No, it feels different… Hmm?”
Ignore that presence.
We are here simply to indulge in being Mysterious Beautiful Girls.
Our style of avoiding calamities remains unchanged.
Alright, let’s go to the shop!
Let’s take a look!
“Yeah, yeah, you’re so noisy.”
I am currently in Super Mysterious Beautiful Girl Time, so my gender is female, meaning I can confidently enter a place like this shop.
Hi, I’m a beautiful girl dressed as a boy!
I stepped into the shop where the costumes were arranged.
The moment I entered, I was overwhelmed.
This… it’s incredible.
The entire shop has a Gothic atmosphere.
Besides costumes, there are accessories and perfumes as well.
This perfume is amazing.
Even after getting hit by a blast, the scent won’t disappear!
As for these accessories, they’re pendants made with special stones that react to magical power and glow!
Wow… There’s so much mysteriousness, so much mystery everywhere.
“There are many items here that seem suitable for your Mysterious Beautiful Girl persona. How about buying a meaningful pendant here?”
That sounds good.
Hmm, then let’s buy a pendant that matches the costume later.
We’ll make them a matching set for Double Mysterious Beautiful Girl time ♥
“The colors reversed would add depth to the relationship. Gold and silver might be too assertive for Solciera, so white and black would be more appropriate.”
Impressive, partner, you get it.
“Of course. Don’t underestimate my learning ability. By the way, what exactly is this ‘Double Mysterious Beautiful Girl’? Is there such a plan…?”
Don’t suddenly look worried.
Don’t worry, don’t worry!
In Academy City, most mysterious things usually work out somehow.
Having two Mysterious Beautiful Girls is pretty normal.
And let’s dive deep into co-dependent yuri together, shall we? ♥
“That’s still too early for me.”
While giggling and humming happily, we carefully examine the costumes.
Ah, this costume is cute and has a nice dark vibe too.
“Hmm, quite to my liking. If I may ask for more, I wish the skirt was a little shorter.”
Eh, will the Mysterious Beautiful Girl shorten her skirt?
“Yes. And when it gets flipped by the wind, I’d like to say ‘Is something wrong?’ with a poker face, destroying the male’s fetish. A Mysterious Beautiful Girl who shows no reaction to panties is good, isn’t it? Then, I’d like to tease the males who are embarrassed because they realize they’re the only ones conscious of it.”
Where did you pick up that knowledge?
Did you learn it from someone else’s brain besides mine?
“My answer is based on your actions and thoughts.”
Oh, now that you mention it, it does sound good…
Then, next time, let’s show our underwear in front of Tourak, shall we?
“The wind is on me. In that case, we must put a lot of effort into the underwear.”
No, putting too much effort makes it obvious.
So, in that aspect, I’d rather stay a regular girl.
The slight innocence left within the Mysterious Beautiful Girl becomes a wonderful accent.
“I’m learning a lot.”
Same here.
Talking with you gives me deeper insight and helps me aim higher as a beautiful girl.
Oh, those blue costumes over there look nice too～.
“――Solciera?”
I stopped moving.
I feel like I was called by a name I shouldn’t be called.
“My detection didn’t pick anything up, so it’s not my sister.”
While hearing the voice of the Star Reader’s Staff, I slowly turned around.
There, a blonde girl with purple highlights stood.
Her familiar appearance prompted me to call her name.
“Jouka…?”
What should I do? I have a really bad feeling right now!
