Chapter 65: Extra: College Students Don't Wear Uniforms, But...

TL: Akabane

***

After school. We were having a celebration party at a karaoke bar in Shimokita.

"""Congratulations on your appearance in the drama!"""

"Thank you! It's all thanks to all of you!"

With crackers ringing, me, Ayashiro and Yuzuriha celebrated Milan's debut in a TV drama.

"Milan! What kind of role are you playing?! Are you going to be wall-banging or something?!"

"Oh no. I'm not the heroine, I'm just the heroine's friend B. I'm like a semi-regular in a school drama. You know, the gal's JK. Haha."

Milan is smiling shyly. At last, she has made her start as an actress. I'm so glad I'm in a position to celebrate that.

"Heh. You're a gal, huh? In a way, she's the opposite of what you usually are. By the way, is your role nerd-friendly? Ufufu."

"Hahaha! I'm sorry, but I don't have a nerd-friendly setting. The director gave me some notes on how to set it up, but they were very elaborate! It's fun to play a role!"

Says Milan with a big smile on her face, she really seems to be enjoying herself. Unlike last time, she doesn't seem to be having any trouble with the role.

"Yes. That's good. I was chilly thinking it was Professor Ayashiro's turn. Ufufu."

"Well, don't worry this time! I've got enough experience from last time! ...Oh, but there's one thing I'm having trouble with...I'm having a little bit of trouble imagining you in the JK role..."

Saying this, Milan's cheeks turn a little red and she begins to fidget. Then she said this.

"Have you guys ever been on a uniform date?"

At those words, Yuzuriha and I stopped moving our bodies with a tickle.

"Huh? Did I ask a bad question? Did I hit a land mine?"

"I'm sure you did. If these two had such experience, I don't think they would be here right now."

You're right, Ayashiro-sensei! Yuzuriha begins to speak with a distant look in her eyes.

"There was a girl I thought was my friend. There was no sign of a boyfriend between us, and we promised each other that we would go out to karaoke someday. But one day...one day...she was walking with a guy I didn't know, holding hands in the shopping street near our school. Then, they went into a karaoke bar... and when they came out, their experience had increased from 0 to 1..."

It's an urban legend to me, but I hear high school kids have sex at karaoke. It's kind of depressing to think that the room we're in right now was some high school couple having sex somewhere....

"It's so graphic! I mean, Yuzuriha, aren't you too traumatized by karaoke!"

"I'm fine! Because I have a hardcore virgin girl named Milan now! I'm relieved that I won't have to go through that again!"

"Oh, what is it... What is this twisted friendship...? I'm so worried about you, Yuzuriha!"

"Well, you see. Girls have a tendency to be like that, don't they? If two friends like the same person and suffer from a love triangle, it's easier to have a threesome, right?"

Why is threesomes so popular among the girls around me?

"I don't know, the examples are too specific...but I've never been on a date with a guy in uniform either. I wish I had at least once...have you ever had that experience, Ayashiro?"

"I never felt the need to have a uniform date. So I've never done it."

Ayashiro says this matter-of-factly. Her face is cool.

"But to call dating a necessity, it sounds like a law school excuse, doesn't it?"

"Yes, it does. It's a good thing, isn't it? But it certainly seems a little regrettable now. It's true that we can only wear the uniform for a limited period of time. I wonder if Milan has ever been on a uniform date?"

Milan, who was asked to talk, has a somewhat troubled look on her face.

"Umm. Well... I've never been with a boy...but I've been on many uniform dates with girls. I wore the school uniform and blazer. Hahaha. I was very popular."

"I see. So you're the type of virgin who can date girls but can't take them to a hotel. You have a chance every time, but you take advantage of it and regret it every time. That's the most frustrating type."

"I'm the girl! I'm the one who gets taken to the hotel! I'm not the one who brings someone to the hotel! I'm not a virgin!"

"But you're a virgin...pfft!"

A woman who can stir up others with her own lack of experience. That is Ayashiro X.

"Stop it! It's pretty hard for a ronin girl to be called a virgin! It's not that I'm not popular! Believe me!"

For girls, being popular or not is more serious than it is for guys. Furthermore, ronin tend to be intensely jealous when a current student of the same sex has already experienced it. The source is me and Milan.

"Well. So much for the virgin girl agitation. Then, why don't we go on a uniform date?"

Ayashiro suggested with a kind of smirk on her face.

"Eh? But we're already university students. I don't think uniforms would look good on us, right?"

"If we all cross the red light together, it's fine. Don't worry. There's nothing to be embarrassed about! Let's all embarrass ourselves together! Ufufufu."

Ayashiro said with great joy. At the very least, if I wore a school uniform with Ayashiro's mine-type makeup, it wouldn't look good on me. Then, I might be safe too.

"Yes! I'm volunteering for a uniform date! There are so many things I wanted to do when I was a JK!"

Yuzuriha is breathing hard. She's super excited. She seems to be full of motivation.

"...I...I can play a girl, right? I can wear a sailor suit instead of the school uniform, right?"

Milan...you've been playing role of a guy for so long, but uniform dates that you seem to have an obsession is the role of a JK, you know? The three girls seem to be willing to do it.

"Okay then, let's do a uniform date. We'll just think about what each of us wants to do and give it a try! Hooray for uniform dates!"

"""Hooray for uniform dates! Yaaaah!"""

And so, we wasted no time in getting into the spirit of uniform dating.

***Don't tell your friends in college about your experience with uniform dates. They'll get seriously jealous!***

I came to the east exit of Ikebukuro station, the meeting place, wearing the school uniform of my high school days. The first one to come was Yuzuriha.

"Did you wait for me?"

"No, I just came."

"Kanata, you liar! I was watching this meeting point from the coffee shop over there! You were here 30 minutes before the rendezvous! Were you really looking forward to our date that much? Thank you!"

Yuzuriha hugs me saying so. Yuzuriha was wearing a blazer-type uniform. Her skirt was of the serious type, a little above knee-length. But her boobs were heinously swollen. The unbalanced charm made me dizzy.

"Yuzuriha? Isn't there something wrong with your tension? There's so much to get into!"

"Because it's a uniform! Uniforms! We're going to do something fun in clothes that have nothing but bad memories of us! I'm so excited! Ahahaha! Hahahahaha!"

I really feel sorry for Yuzuriha's past loneliness. I vowed to be nice to this girl until I die.

"Oh my, you two are early. It's good to see you're so fired up. That's wonderful. Mm-hmm."

And soon, Ayashiro arrived. And Yuzuriha and I couldn't hide our surprise at how she was dressed.

"What do you think? Isn't this style cute?"

Ayashiro was dressed in a blazer-type uniform, but the way she was dressed down was quite something.

"Wow. So this is how city JKs dress! I've never seen it in Satsuma. They are cute, though. Yes, they are cute, but..."

"Yeah, I've never seen them in Hokkaido either. I mean, she's the only one dressed like this. Well, cute is cute, though."

The first thing that catches my eye is the short skirt and knee socks. It's not unusual for two-dimensional girls, but knee-socks are rarely seen on real-life JKs. Ayashiro's beautiful legs are a perfect match. What is even more bizarre is her left wrist. She is wearing some kind of bandage. She also wears a frilly eye patch over her right eye. And her blond hair, which she is very proud of, is tied in twin-tails with a black frilly bow. She wears a beehive of mine-type menswear makeup. The elaborate black nail art on both hands is also amazing.

"Hey, hey, Ayashiro. What kind of setting is hidden in that fashion style? Won't you tell us?"

"Kukuku. I'm glad you asked. My name is Ayashiro X. Himena. I was summoned to another world and fought my way through as a saint, but I came into contact with the secret of the world that was hidden by the demon king I defeated, so I was chased by the organization and ended up living an F-Ranked life at a school for returning Earthlings."

"All I can say for now is that you're a menshera type, aren't you?"

"Yes, that's right. I mean, a saint and a villainess isn't too much! You're a greedy set! Please choose one or the other!"

"I'm a woman who won't compromise. I won't give up either one!"

Girls love saints and villains, don't they? And it was while we were having such an uninteresting conversation.

"Um.... I hope I didn't keep you waiting... well... take care of everyone today..."

I heard Milan's voice and we turned around. There was Milan, dressed in a sailor suit and fidgeting. Unlike usual, her hair was unbound and straight, with a braid on the left side that looked good against her beautiful silver hair. Her skirt is a little short and she is wearing navy blue socks.

"Wow...! She can do it if she puts her mind to it!"

Yuzuriha is admiring Milan's figure. And Ayashiro whispers to me in a grinning yet somewhat motherly voice.

"...Heh. Ara-ara, m-hm...! Tokiwa. You should give her a compliment!"

"I know. Milan. I'm amazed. You're so beautiful, and most of all, you're cute."

I thought Miran was really cute. I'm sure the drama's casting staff knew how cute she was, and that's why they chose her.

"Ummm. Thank you! I was so nervous wearing the uniform for the first time in a long time. It made the audition seem like a game! So I'm glad you praised me. I'm so happy."

Milan smiles beautifully. And so everyone is here. Now, we'll go to the city of the young! Ikebukuro!

To be continued in Part 2!

***Author's musings***

I'll do a few more chapter and then move on to Season 3.

The seifuku date story this time is a thing, isn't it?

It's an adolescent event that college students are not supposed to do, but I wrote it because I wanted to let these girls experience that kind of adolescence.

I would be happy if you can feel the emo feeling.
