This is not the date I wanted.

"That's it..."

Origami frowned in displeasure. It wasn't because she was unhappy that her kindness was in vain. Since the other party said that everything was fine, Origami had no reason to meddle in other people's business.

but--

(The zipper of the dress was not zipped up properly, there was no makeup on, the hair was not combed properly, and the hair accessories were worn in a completely messed up way...)

It can be said without exaggeration that in Origami's eyes, Liang Yi Meng Yue's appearance can only be described as horrible.

(What the hell is this…)

A fire of ignorance began to spread in her heart, as if the other party was provoking her by saying "Even so, you can easily make Shidao's heart beat", and the other Origami's personality began to take control of her body.

"…Only ten minutes. Follow me!"

After saying that, Origami turned and walked towards the locker room.

“Eh? Wait a minute—Origami?!”

Meng Yue had no idea what was going on, so she could only quickly take off her high heels and chase after him barefoot.

————————————————————————I am the dividing line back to the locker room————————————————

"Um... origami? Actually, I can do this kind of thing myself..."

Sitting in front of the dressing mirror in the dressing room, Meng Yue felt her face being manipulated by Origami using various makeup props, and said with some embarrassment, closing her eyes.

"Are you planning on going on a date with Shidou like that?"

"Well, I think I've tried my best... Is that not okay?"

Feeling the pressure in Origami's voice, Meng Yue couldn't help but ask cautiously.

"Not at all!"

"Well--"

Meng Yue felt a little hurt when her efforts were so decisively denied by Origami.

"Okay, the makeup is done. You can open your eyes now."

Slowly opening her eyes, Meng Yue looked at herself in the mirror. Due to time constraints, Origami only put on a little light makeup, but she was undoubtedly much more beautiful than her bare face just now. When compared with the horrible makeup that she had washed off before, which made her look as pale as a zombie, it could only be described as a divine skill.

"Oh, Origami is amazing."

Meng Yue couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"It's just the level of daily management. No fuss, next is the hair."

Origami replied indifferently, picked up a comb, and began to comb Meng Yue's hair carefully.

(Has his personality changed again?)

Meng Yue thought secretly. She knew that except when she was with Shidao or encountered things related to Shidao, most of the time, Origami Tobiichi was still dominated by her personality after changing the world.

(Uh… is this an illusion? I feel like I’m in a bad mood.)

Meng Yue was observing Origami through the reflection in the mirror. At this moment, the girl was not expressionless as usual. Her furrowed brows clearly showed her dissatisfaction, and her slightly pouty lips also revealed the worries that were in line with a girl of her age.

"Origami, are you... angry?"

"You refused the costume change team's help in changing your clothes and putting on makeup, and ended up looking so miserable. What do you think?"

Origami lowered her head to comb her hair and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"That's because... No, it's really my fault. Sorry!"

Mengyue gave up the hope of defending herself halfway and admitted her mistake honestly.

"That's good to know."

Seeing Meng Yue admit her mistake, Origami's expression eased a little, and she said with a smile,

"Mengyue, you've always been reliable, but sometimes you get stuck in a dead end in strange places. It's obviously okay for you to rely on us more."

"Uh...sorry."

Mengyue lowered her head in shame.

"Well, that's why you're so popular."

Origami let out a light breath, looked at herself and Mengyue in the mirror, and answered slowly.

"Meng Yue, as for me... although I want to win, I won't be happy at all if the victory is handed over by others. Similarly, even if I lose, I don't want to be shown mercy by my opponent."

"..."

Not knowing how to answer, Mengyue could only remain silent.

"Alright! My hair is done too."

Suddenly, Meng Yue felt Origami tapping her head lightly, and then the opponent quickly took a few steps back and distanced himself from her.

"Ah, thank you, Origami. That's a great help."

“Wow… I accidentally said a line from a comic… How embarrassing… Sigh—”

Origami was seen talking to herself with a flushed face. She then took out a piece of cloth from her skirt, put it on her face and took deep breaths.

If Meng Yue was not mistaken, it should be a pair of male panties. As for who the owner of the clothes was, no one had to guess.

(Isn’t this more embarrassing than using lines from a shojo manga?!)

Meng Yue thought with a frown on her face.

Origami put away the things as if nothing had happened and returned to her usual cold and expressionless appearance. However, the atmosphere around her had obviously become much more refreshing.

The corners of her eyes twitched slightly, but Meng Yue finally gave up the idea of ​​complaining.

"Well, put on your high heels next. Liang Yi Meng Yue."

"Eh?"

When Meng Yue heard Origami's words, her body stiffened.

Looking at the high heels placed in front of her, Meng Yue flinched a little.

The heels were so thin and long, and it was incredible. Thinking back to the feeling of walking on a tightrope when she put them on, Meng Yue couldn't help but wonder, can humans really wear such anti-human things? Are all real girls monsters?

"Well, I'm not used to wearing high heels. Can't I wear other shoes? Or maybe a pair of shoes with lower soles?"

"no!"

Origami flatly rejected Mengyue's request.

"High heels are very important. They can shape and highlight women's legs, hips, and waist, making the body curves more beautiful and sexy. They can be said to be one of women's strongest weapons."

“I see… You really know a lot about Origami.”

It turns out that these shoes are not used to increase height. Meng Yue muttered quietly.

"In order to make Shidao unable to suppress his desire and attack me as soon as possible, I will not let go of any useful information."

Origami answered Mengyue with a matter-of-fact statement, which made her realize once again how powerful Origami Tobiichi's ability to act is.

"Gulu..."

Having said that, there was no reason to refuse. After swallowing nervously, Meng Yue finally made up her mind and put on her high heels.

"Ah... How do I walk..."

"Don't hunch over. It will only make your center of gravity unstable. Keep your head up and chest out, and you will naturally get used to it."

"Oh...I see."

"Well, ten minutes have passed. So, I'm going to help Shidou... No, I'm going to capture Shidou. Go do your best."

“Wait, did you just say something weird? Aaaahh ...

She was about to chase after Origami, but the first step she took in her high heels almost made her lose her balance. She waved her arms awkwardly in panic before she finally managed to keep her balance.

"First, get used to these shoes... Keep your head up and your chest out... Keep your center of gravity... Walk slowly..."

Meng Yue slightly opened her arms to prevent herself from losing balance and falling, then walked towards the banquet hall step by step stiffly.

……

…………

………………

...Well, to be honest, Mengyue didn't notice that her curves became more graceful and sexy. Instead, she felt that her walking posture now was like a penguin.

“Hahahahaha——Meng, Mengyue! My compatriot, your steps are like those of a penguin, hahaha!!”

"Giggle. Very cute, Mengyue! -Puchi."

OK! Yuxian, Yakuya, next time it's my turn to cook, I will smear mustard all over your dishes, so be prepared. Mengyue glanced at the Yamai sisters in embarrassment.

"Oh, Sister Mengyue finally changed her clothes?"

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, Kotori. By the way, what is this...?"

Looking at Origami, who was carried over by the staff with a dazed look on his face and obviously unable to move, Meng Yue asked with a look of embarrassment on her face.

"Ah, well, Origami brought this upon herself." Kotori shrugged and replied, "It seems like she was planning to mix the liquid into Shidou's drink, but somehow she accidentally spilled it, and a little bit of it ended up falling into her own drink and she drank it, and that's how it became."

"Haha... Should I say it's really worthy of being called Origami?"

In response, Meng Yue could only agree with a wry smile.

(However, it is hard to imagine that Origami would miss such a good opportunity. Who could have stopped her... her own conscience?)

Recalling the experience of seeing Origami's left hand and right hand wrestling over a photo of Shiori, Mengyue could only say that it was not impossible.

By the way, does Origami really just have different personalities rather than different personalities?

"Itsuka-san... I like him... I like him the most. I like him so much... I don't know what to do..."

"If she hadn't looked like a pervert in front of Shidou, Shidou would have been tempted a long time ago."

Looking at Origami's happy smile in a trance, Mengyue couldn't help but sigh with a wry smile.

"Anyway, Origami has succeeded in making Shidou's heart beat, so there are seven people who have succeeded. The remaining ones are Mengyuejie and Tohka, you——"

"I'll go first, okay Tohka?"

Mengyue slowly raised her hand and asked Tohka at the same time.

"…Ah? Umm! Of course, come on Mengyue!"

"Well, I will."

Mengyue slowly walked towards Shidou. Shidou seemed to notice Mengyue and waved to her happily.

[Mengyue, we will provide support here from now on, you just need to follow the instructions. ]

"learn."

Lingyin's voice came from the headphones, and Mengyue nodded secretly.

[Who am I to you?]

(…Don’t think about unnecessary things, just focus!)

Meng Yue took a deep breath and put aside the unnecessary emotions lingering in her heart.

At twelve o'clock midnight today, if Shidou cannot make his heart beat for everyone, then no one will be able to kiss Shidou, and Shidou will eventually be destroyed due to the congestion of spiritual energy.

Although this may seem incomprehensible from an outsider's perspective, it is no joke.

It could be said that this was a crucial stage where no carelessness was allowed, but due to some inexplicable reserve, she refused the help of others even though it was clearly her weakness and ended up in such a miserable state.

What on earth am I doing? Meng Yue couldn't help but ask herself this.

No matter what means I have to use, I will definitely protect my family!

Thinking of this, the confusion in Meng Yue's eyes disappeared. She took a firm, steady, and determined step, and then -

Fell.
