Episode 19 Uneasiness

TLed by: TanoshiKara

"......Phew," Ryou Hakumine heaved a sigh of relief as he lay on the bed in his own room.

In his hand is a piece of paper that Aone Akaba handed to him. On it are the contact numbers of two people, one of them, Aone; The other, the one who saved him when he was cross-dressing, Rei Asube.

It is a mystery why she wrote down Rei's as well, but there is another line written after that.

"Please count on us if you have any trouble, huh......"

Rei-san did indeed say something like that. However, he never once asked about my contact number. In other words, this was Aone's arbitrary decision.

"That suree looked like fun" Ryou murmured as he turned over to face the ceiling.

He got curious the other day so he secretly followed Rei and the others.

In addition to the three he had met: Rei, Aone, and Kenta, is Miya Degure. The scene of the four of them enjoying themselves to the fullest at the game center was one that Ryou was envious of.

Due to his appearance, which lacks masculinity, and his timid personality, he was not able to make any friends up until now.

Even so, it is alright. I have my family after all, or so Ryou tried to convince himself, but seeing such a scene made him think, 'I too......'.

"It feels like those people will accept it......however, that is not me but"

He recalled his fake appearance, his cross-dressing self. To Rei and the others, it was because it was Rio, not Ryou, that they were that willing to help and that kind. To Ryou, the person who got saved has become equated to Rio.

"......"

Surfacing at the back of Ryou's mind is the complete change in the attitude of Rei and the others the second he admits to being the cross-dressing male.

It is abnormal enough to be cross-dressing; There is no way they will accept me, someone who walks around outside while cross-dressed. In that case, I should just continue being Rio. They will let me befriend them if I continue to disguise myself right? However, am I certain that……befriending them with my fake self is befriending them for real?

"......Even so, it was fun that time"

Though short, it was a fun time. If there is a chance for that time to be ruined, then even if I have to disguise myself…

Ryou gets up from his bed and opens the closet door. Lined in it are the many cute clothes he has worn up until now.

"Alright"

Psyching himself up, he also reaches out to the clothes today, in order to change into his false self......Rio.

. . . .

"Weeeww, time sure passes in the blink of an eyeee"

"Yeah. It is May starting from tomorrow after alll"

School ended and I was heading back from school together with Miya. However, we did not head back right away and were instead headed for the supermarket.

Actually, a message came from the Degure family saying that the ice cream ran out so buy some. They also said to buy ingredients for dinner as well so I tagged along as a "baggage carrier".

By the way, Kenta's test results were so bad that he had remedial classes.

"......"

"Wat's wrong? Ah, it was here huh. The so-called place that Rio was saved"

We stop at a bookstore on the way to the supermarket. This is the exact spot where I saved Rio, otherwise known as Ryou Hakumine-senpai. It seems like Hakumine-senpai and the playboys are not here today.

"Well, it is not like a game where we meet 

(Ah, that’s a flag)

"Rei, that is a flag you know"

I know without you two saying it in unison. But there surely is no way that the flag can trigger that easily.

"Ah-"

......No, no, isn't the retrieval too fast? It is a voice I have heard before, but it should be someone that looks slightly similar, or so I thought as I turned back.

"H-Hello"

"......U-Uh-huh, hello"

There was Hakumine-senpai, dressed not in the bluish-white dress from the other day, but a reddish-white dress. The color palette is different but the abundance of frills is the same. The skirt is airy with a ribbon near the waist section which emphasizes his waist.

Eh? Isn't he really slim? Also, the Alice band he is wearing on his head is one he did not wear the previous time.

"Ohh, this girl is the rumored Rio-chan!"

"Rio. She was not there the other day but this person is also an acquaintance of mine"

"Nice to meet you. I am Miya Degure; I am acting as his childhood friend"

A polite introduction. It sounds as if childhood friend is an occupation but will he pick up on that?

"N-Nice to meet you. I am Rio. ......Isn’t Degure the people running that Café?"

"Ohhhh! I see you know!"

"Yes. I-......It is quite famous around this area"1

It seems like he wanted to say something; I-? Don't tell me it's I went there before as well, I guess? In that case, did he go there as Ryou Hakumine? Or perhaps with his family......Well, Rio. He probably did not go there cross-dressed as a female. Miya would have remembered if he did after all.

"So are you walking around today?"

"Y-Yes. Erm, I was wondering if I would meet Rei and the others......"

......It seems like he did not plan it but saying those words with that appearance brings about misunderstandings. What's more, he is smiling embarrassingly. It would probably have been dangerous if Kenta had been here. Even I was about to get taken in for a second there. But I do know that he is a cross-dressing male.

(In addition to that, you also have a resistance to that after all!)

(Do not say resistance)

Anyway. Even Miya is backing away as if she got hit.

What is wrong I wonder, or so Hakumine-senpai seems to wonder, his head tilted like before.

I cleared my throat once before continuing the conversation.

"You sure say some pleasing words. But I am sorry. Kenta has remedial classes and Aone is......well, I think she will appear at some point"

"Eh?"

(You phrase it as if she is a type of enemy encounter)

No, Aone is the only one whose actions I do not understand. There is the fact that it has only been a few weeks since I met her and that our schools are different but I would not understand her even with those out of the picture.

A so-called elusive beauty. She roams around a wide area, is able to do everything, and is well-informed. I feel bad for Aone, but she is so much of a mystery that I wonder if she really is a middle schooler.

"Oh right, Miya. You are getting along with Aone better than me right?"

The moment I took my eyes off of Rio.

"Ah-" Miya uttered, seemingly discovering something.

No way!?, or so I thought as I gazed back at Rio.

"Rio-chaaan!!!"

Aone appeared as I predicted.

Getting behind the defenseless Hakumine-senpai, she hugs him with all her might.

"Whaeekkk!?" Hakumine-senpai lets out a shriek unimaginable for a male.

"Oho?"

Just then, Aone's eyes widened as if she realized something.

Don't tell me......

"A-A-A-Aone-chan?"

"Hey, Aone! That is bad for the heart so stop it"

Feeling that I should help Hakumine-senpai, who was unsure of how to react, I pulled Aone away.

"Nyooon"

Now then, should I call this good timing?

"Aone. You heading back from school?"

"Right! Since I spotted Rei-senpai and the others when I was wondering around as usual, I hugged Chan-Rio"

"Cha-Chan-Rio!?"

Perhaps still shaken, he backs away slightly from Aone. Also, it is possible that......

"Oh dear, a message pressing us came"

Welp, I am curious about that as well but shopping comes first.

"Aone, we are going to shop at the supermarket. I feel bad but we part ways here"

"Okaaay. Well then, I will be having tea with Rio-chan thennnn"

Honestly, I feel that it is dangerous to leave Aone, who realized something, with Hakumine-senpai but......

"Do not cause her too much trouble okay?"

"Bye-bye, Aone-chan! And Rio-chan!"

"Byeee"

While wishing for my prediction to miss its mark, I headed to the supermarket with Miya.

1 - He's trying to say 僕 (Bo|ku), a masculine form of I, but stops himself halfway.
