This is not the date I wanted.

In front of him were three female classmates of Shidou at school, Ai, Mai, and Mii. They were walking towards Shidou wearing receptionist uniforms.

In response to Shidou's words, the trio looked at each other and said in confusion:

"Strange, do we know each other?"

"Speaking of which, Miss, your face looks a little familiar..."

"Really can't stand it?"

Shidou then realized that he was wearing women's clothes. The three of them did not recognize him, so they hurriedly explained:

"I, I'm Gokawa Shidao's cousin, Gokawa Shiori!"

"What! Shidou's cousin?"

"I never thought that scumbag had such a beautiful cousin."

"I really can't stand it..."

"Ha ha……"

He gave two bitter dry laughs. Although he knew that his reputation in school had long been terrible, when he actually heard it, Shidao still felt a pang of heartache.

"Shiori-chan, your skirt..."

Mengyue said a little surprised. Shidao looked down and saw that Mengyue accidentally coughed the milkshake on the table, and it was dripping onto her frilly skirt.

"I'm sorry. My bad..."

In response to Mengyue's apology, Shidao smiled comfortingly.

"It's okay. This stain will disappear after washing."

"No! This is my responsibility, I must be responsible for it."

But unexpectedly, Meng Yue showed a very determined look this time, and said in an undeniable tone: "I will be responsible for licking Shizhi-chan's skirt... No, I will buy you a new one as compensation."

It felt like I heard something strange... maybe it was an illusion!

"Promise her, Shidou."

"Kotori?"

"Meng Yue's favorability towards you has increased a lot just now, but the pressure level is also increasing. It seems that we can't stay in the cafe anymore. And if we stay here, our identity may be exposed. Let's move to the clothing area of ​​the shopping mall. I will arrange people to support you."

Indeed, what Kotori said was right. Seeing the curious looks in the eyes of the trio, Shidou was worried that if he stayed here, he would accidentally reveal his flaws and expose his true identity.

"I see, let's go to the shopping mall!"

Seeing that Shidou agreed, Mengyue was obviously relieved. After paying the bill, she pulled Shidou out.

"Have fun on your date!"

"Lily is much better than marrying that scumbag Shidou. I support you!"

“It’s really unbearable!”

In response to the encouragement from Ai and the other three, Shidou could only maintain a dry smile.

————————————————————————————————————————I am the dividing line for transferring venues————————————————————————————————————————

"Phew... Sorry for the wait."

Coming out of the dressing room a little embarrassed, Shidou really understood that changing into women's clothes in the women's dressing room was a huge guilt.

"That's good!" Meng Yue nodded in relief and said, "Ms. Minowa, who has changed her clothes, has just taken your skirt to be washed. I'll go and pay for the skirt."

It was totally discovered, wasn't it?!

Shidao's mouth twitched slightly. Speaking of which, Kotori seemed to have said that Mengyue had already known the identity information of all the fleet members through the computer of the hacker Fraxinus. As for the support of Ratatoskr in this meeting, it is likely that she knew everything.

Is this kind of support meaningful?

When their eyes met Mengyue's, Mengyue turned her head away shyly.

To be honest, if Mengyue hadn't entered this strange state, this date would probably have ended in failure.

Seeing Meng Yue taking out a wallet from the pocket of his windbreaker, Shidao suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice:

"Come to think of it... Mengyue, the clothes you're wearing are spiritual clothes, right?"

"Huh? Yeah, what's wrong?"

Meng Yue looked at Shidao with some confusion in response to his question.

"Um... that's it. Your clothes are a bit too conspicuous. Can you change them if possible?"

Although Mengyue's spiritual outfit was much simpler than Tohka and the others, her black windbreaker and an outfit similar to the uniform of a girls' school still attracted the attention of many tourists.

For example, halfway through the journey, someone was shouting, "Why is the Tokiwadai school uniform paired with the Midnight Robe? Do you look down on cosplay?" This was a completely inexplicable resentment.

"Indeed... the spirit outfit is very conspicuous when worn on the body, and it is very impolite to wear for a date." Meng Yue covered her chin, keeping a thoughtful look on her face, and then said expectantly: "How about Shizhi-chan, can you help me pick out a dress! I don't have any clothes except the spirit outfit."

"Eh?"

"Shidou, the options are out."

Inside the airship, Fraxinus' AI offers three options on the screen:

① Pink dress with a white sun hat and women's sandals. ——Summer ladies' clothing.

② The same style low-necked white vest with a dark green shirt and a floral ruffled skirt. ——Couple outfit.

③The red and white base color bare-armed shrine maiden costume and bow. ——Unscrupulous dress.

"The last one always feels like it reveals a lot of malice... Never mind, everyone, let's start by making our choices!"

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but Kotori still issued instructions in a very disciplined manner.

Well, except for Nakatsugawa who chose ③ and the two women, Shiizaki and Minowa, who chose ①, everyone else chose ②.

"Couple outfits... well, this is pretty good!" Not knowing what she was feeling, Kotori sighed softly with a subtle expression, and after a moment, she was about to press the microphone.

But suddenly, the background on the screen left the women's fashion area and moved quickly in one direction.

"what's the situation??"

"Commander, the situation has changed!"

"Ryougi Yumezuki is taking Shidou out of the women's fashion section."

"Target stop, location... eh?"

……

"Shiori-chan, which one do you think would be more suitable for me to wear?"

Standing in front of the fitting mirror, Meng Yue held the two sets of clothes in her hands and kept trying them on herself, turning around and asking Shidao happily from time to time.

"...Anyway, let's ask the waiter to bring the right size."

Looking at the two large dark men's shirts in Mengyue's hands and feeling the strange looks from the people around him, Shidao's mouth twitched slightly.

Now they are in the men's fashion area.

I always feel like something is wrong. Was the way this date started wrong from the beginning?

PS: Why is Meiyi's line in the anime just "I can't stand it"? (Unclear)

03 Will this date be the end of the otome game?

==============================

"Shiori-chan, how does this outfit look?"

Liangyi Mengyue pushed the baseball cap on her head slightly, put one hand on her waist and straightened her chest, with a satisfied smile on her face.

She wore a black short-sleeved men's T-shirt and dark jeans that just reached above the knees. In order to make it easier to wear a baseball cap, Mengyue tied her long hair into a ponytail.

By the way, when she tried it on for the first time, she found that Mengyue didn't have any underwear to wear after removing her spirit suit, although Mengyue said it didn't matter. In the end, under Shidao's strong request, Mengyue chose a light yellow vest in a women's underwear store that could replace a bra and wore it inside.

"Well...it suits you very well."

After carefully examining Mengyue's outfit, Shidao nodded in appreciation. Although the men's clothing was a little loose for Mengyue, it could show Mengyue's chic and energetic feeling. In addition, Mengyue himself had excellent conditions. If you look from a distance, you can definitely see him as a very handsome young man.

However, seeing men wearing women's clothes and women wearing men's clothes always makes Shidao feel complicated.

Did I make a mistake somewhere... Shidao was extremely confused at this moment.

"Shidou, the situation looks good." Kotori's voice came from the headset, "After Mengyue changed into men's clothes, her emotions in all aspects seem to have calmed down a lot."

"It looks like..."

After changing into men's clothes, Meng Yue obviously seemed to be more confident in her actions, and her expression was not as flustered as before. Although her face still turned red when she looked at herself, she was able to communicate with herself very normally.

"You really like this kind of outfit."

Meng Yue nodded, with a look of emotion, lifted her collar, and smiled, "Well, this kind of outfit is the most down-to-earth. The short skirt of my previous spiritual outfit made my thighs feel cold all the time, which made me feel insecure!"

"Yeah……"

I always feel like I understand your feelings...

"This is really a very special spirit. She actually said that spirit clothes are less secure than ordinary clothes..."

Qin Li's somewhat speechless sigh came through the headphones.

The spirit suit can be said to be the most reliable armor for every elf, and also the most trustworthy solid fortress for the elves. Its defense and durability are unmatched by ordinary fabrics, even the mechas with display devices cannot match it. But Meng Yue just said "The skirt is cold and I feel insecure." She denied her partner who had protected her for a year. If the spirit suit had spirits, she would probably cry.

Shidao could only smile and not comment on this.

Walking on the road, the tall and weak beautiful girl (? ? ) and the handsome and lively tomboy formed a strange combination, forming a strange landscape on the road, so passers-by frequently looked back.

"That woman is so tall, is she a model or something?"

"But that girl looks good too. Very cool tomboy look!"

"The two of them look so close, are they lesbians? The best~"

"No, maybe that tomboy is actually a boy."

"It doesn't matter if it's a boy, as long as he's cute!"

Various gazes kept coming at him, causing Shidao to lower his head in an unbearable state. Meng Yue, who had been completely unmoved, noticed Shidao's abnormality and asked worriedly:

"Shiori-chan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No... I just feel like a lot of people are watching us..."

Shidao said with a wry smile. Meng Yue glanced around and chuckled after hearing this:

"Don't worry, it's just because Shiori-chan is too cute that everyone can't help but look at her."

If a woman heard this, she might feel shy but also a little happy, but when Shidao heard this, his heart felt as if it was trampled by countless alpacas.

"Is, is that so?" The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Shidao decisively gave up on this issue and changed the subject, asking, "Where does Meng Yue plan to go next?"

"Oh! About this." After hearing this, Meng Yue's eyes began to sparkle, and she pointed to a store not far away and cheered.

Following the direction Meng Yue pointed, Shidao's mouth twitched again.

Well, the arcade. It seems that the legend that was just recorded a few days ago is about to be refreshed again.

——————————————————————————————————————————I am the dividing line for shifting perspective——————————————————————————————

"Fuck! Another record!"

"How did you perform that complicated dance move just now? No contestant who participated in the World Street Dance Competition before has ever been able to overcome this difficulty."

"And he hasn't made a single mistake so far. What kind of concentration does he have?"

"Miss, are you interested in becoming a professional dancer?"

"no!"

Seeing the scout who left in disgrace after being rejected by Mengyue without even turning his head, Shidao secretly gave Mengyue an apologetic smile and said to Mengyue, "Mengyue, you continue to play. I'll go to the receiving counter to buy some drinks."

"Oh! Sorry to bother you, Shiori-chan!"

Currently, they are challenging the final purgatory mode set by the dance machine. Even Meng Yue can only answer briefly and then devote herself to the game.

After leaving Meng Yue, Shidao put his hands on the earphones and whispered:

"How is Meng Yue now?"

"Very good, Shido." Kotori's voice sounded much more relaxed. "The favorability, emotional value, and everything else are in very good condition. At this rate, it looks like we'll be able to seal it soon."
