Otome Game Rokkushuume, Automode ga Kiremashita

Chapter 62

Like we planned during the weekends, the three of us came to a store selling womens nightwear and other clothing in Oztown.

Since Primera wanted to get a new pair of pajamas the store fulfilled her needs. It seems the ones she is currently using are also from here too. Theyre likely cute, but Ive never seen them before since we live in separate dormitories.

The schools dormitories are divided into three categories based on social position. Ah, four if I include the staff dormitory.

Eru and Keito, live at the Heavens Dormitory which is for commoners.

Primera and other students from families of Earls, viscounts, or Barons live at the Prince Dormitory.

Students from the Duke house like myself, Marquis house, or royal family members live at the Sun Dormitory.

Greas-sensei and other staff members live at the Queens Dormitory.

Its quite splendidly separated. I feel quite lonely during dinner times. Since the rooms arent change during enrollment here the students in the high school division are also living in the same dorms, but the messhall and lavish bathhouse are divided into ones for the middle and high school division. There are no shared facilities and even the entrances are in separate areas so its almost impossible to come into contact.

Incidentally as one can see from the divided dormitories, I am in the same dormitory as the Prince and Tuvalu. There is a Prince Dormitory and Queen Dormitory yet the royal family members live in the Sun Dormitory, which is rather confusing and misleading.

Male and females are strictly separated and even messhall hours are kept separate so on an encounter avoidance perspective it is a total victory. Being separate is the best so I wont complain.

On a separate note, there are events of infiltrating the Sun Dormitory in the routes of Runa and Tuvalu, but upon failing Mariabell would discover and report you to the faculties.

Since Tuvalus route is a derivative of Runas route and entering one will diverge from the other, it is decided which route to proceed by this event, but if the favorable rating for either of them isnt enough it will fail and Mariabell will enter. For the heroine its an important choice for the good or bad ending, but for me either one is undesirable and will leave me in a bad state.

There werent any intrusion events for the other capture targets, so it wouldve been a great help if it were the same for these two.

Although the most optimal options would be to either disregard the forbidden love or to just exclude me from the romance with the capture targets.

So how about this?

I think its cute, Maria?

Me too, I think it suits Primera

Primera gave a very cute smile in a pastel pink night gown, it was soothing. A feeling I wouldve never felt when inside Mariabell, when compared to the past it was definitely a refreshing experience.

It was different from the past, the future was also changing, when I think about it I cant help but feel anxious.

Especially concerning the heroine, for example even the previously mentioned incident would be difficult. Even if I could cope and find countermeasures it would still be difficult to decisively execute it.

In that case, what I should be doing now is.

Interacting with these girls, carefully creating memories, and nothing more.

Alrightthen I will take this one

Is that fine? Those are just our opinions

Un! Its a long-awaited training camp, so I wanted you two to decide

Surely, without a doubt.

Well, then how about picking one for me too?

Eh, is that really alright!?

Yes, but if its something weird I will refuse

Dont worry, we will choose something perfect for you!

As I watched Primera drew close to Eru and began stealthily whispering, and my expectations for the training camp also increased.

Around past three, since we were hungry we decided to enjoy tea and cakes at a cafe.

As expected of a cafe partnered with a wealthy school, both the tea and cakes were all very high quality. Both the milk tea and cheese tart I ordered are delicious.

Everything is quite delicious here

Its also very cute, it appears we made the correct choice

Both of them looked satisfied, it was their first time here but it seems they quite liked it. Since we finished our shopping as planned we had decided to take a break for a while.

After finishing the cakes, our topic switched over to the loot we acquired.

Still, in the end Maria didnt buy any pajamas at all

We even went and chose the perfect one for you

In the shop where Primera bought pajamas a while ago, I also asked them to choose pajamas for me.

At first I was looking forward to what kind of cute designs Primera would choose as she ventured deep into the store, but I then immediately dismissed the item they chose as soon as I saw it.

I cant wear that kind of clothing

Even if I didnt want to remember it was still deeply imprinted into my memories, a pastel black color of a very different meaning from the depths of the store.

The two of them had chosen a black negligee.

The silky smooth texture that could be understood without touching the glossy surface, the shallow slit section of the V-collar and adorning lace ribbons were rather lovely, I think the style itself was quite good. It was cute and I really appreciate that they thought it suited me.

However, I am only a middle school student. Even if my face is rather mature, I am still a little girl who was not even a student until recently.

I wouldnt even be able to fit into let alone wear something so sexy. Besides it wasnt even a pajama, it was a negligee. Just like the meaning of the word, pajamas are more than sufficient for a child like me.

Why would you two choose something like that out of all the other perfectly cute items in the store?

Because we thought that one suited Maria the best, the design was also very cute

Even so, dont you two know the concept behind it? Its a conspicuously cute item meant for adults you know?

The cute appeal for that item was that it utilized a sexy color and material. Naive cuteness is only a slight difference away from childish, although for that item it is something that produces a mature sexiness without compromising cuteness.

At first I wondered why such an item would be sold within school grounds, but then I remembered its a town that the faculties also use, furthermore its originally just an affiliated branch store located outside the school.

Children are just as cute as adults, its not something at an unreasonable level

Its charming for children to aim towards the level of an adult, but for this situation its just laughable if you ask me.

Body stature is important after all.

I thought Maria-chan had more of a beautiful feeling than cute feeling, so a simpler piece would be best

I also thought you would be more particular about texture and material quality. Your uniforms are never really complex, even todays clothes has the same feeling

Is that right?

That was true about my uniform, at most the standard cape would just be changed to a coat. My mother had ordered numerous cute pieces so I usually changed them on a weekly or daily basis.

But I was also never really overly-conscious about what I wore. My attire for today was also just a properly causal one, a light green cutsew.and a white middle-length skirt. I also brought a cardigan in case it became cold but it seems there wasnt a need for it today.

Plain and simple, I bought clothes that emphasized mobility and comfort, which also made it look like an emphasis on material quality. I only noticed when she brought that up.

It was done unconsciously, I didnt notice at all

Your unexpectedly indifferent, from a glance you seem more like the type that prefers gaudiness

I get that a lot, but on the contrary its completely untrue, since my father and mother were also not great with fancy decorations

Both of my parents, in particular, my father had perhaps the lowest taste when it came to fancy decorations. He also looks conspicuous and stood out like me. But thinking of it as he became bad at being inconspicuous is also in a sense correct.

Choosing simpler things because their easier to understand yet appearing to be placing emphasis on quality. If I am also like that it would be an influence from my parents.

Its rather overbearing to wear excessively gaudy or fancy clothing, its also not easy on the eyes

Thats true, it would definitely be difficult to deal with

Thats right. As a matter of fact, in the past five rounds Mariabell was very gaudy in not only her appearance, but also her uniforms and personal clothing, all her belongings were very luxurious. I couldnt really understand her preferences.

I had given up because I couldnt do anything during auto-mode, but since I can choose now I will deny that sense of fashion.

By the way, what happened with the student council?

Eh?

Topics are said to change rather easily for girls, but this is quite the sudden change.

Both of them knew I had gone for a visit so itll make sense that they would be interested in what happened afterwards. But I hadnt bother mentioning anything since I wanted to escape from reality. The link becomes quite obvious when I put it that way.

You went there to visit once, so I was wondering howd it go?

I havent responded yet butI was thinking about declining

Really?

Yes, as expected its a position that requires responsibility, itll be rude to join half-hardheartedly

Its not a lie, I really would. Its just that the feeling of not wanting to voluntarily dive into a troublesome matter is greater.

Well, I suppose it would be difficult in various ways. Especially this year, including Prince Runa and the other members with their good appearances and social status there will be quite the attention

Attention?

Mainly from girls

Ah, I see

The point was made without further explanation. In addition to the appearance their status was also very high, its inevitable alluring for carnivorous females. Particularly with noble daughters being divided between carnivorous and herbivorous.

A graceful and elegant herbivorous type like Primera or mother.

And a carnivorous type that has overbearing confidence due to their princess-like upbringing like Mariabell.

I dont know if there are extremities like Mariabell, but if there is someone that has confidence to that extent then there would be no reason to overlook the paradise called the student council.

Un, Im definitely declining. Itll be sad to jump into a group being surrounded by beasts even though Im not interested.

I plan on going to decline after the training camp is over

That makes sense, we still have to prepare for the training camp

I can probably finish my preparations in less than a day.

But I want to make it seem as if I spent some time debating over it, and I just want to postpone unpleasant things. Aside from that I also want to see if theres any better reasons for declining.

Wellshould we head out soon?

Ah, thats right, is Maria-chan alright with that too?

Yes, Im also quite full

Erus line of sight had shifted towards the clock when she said that.

Before we realized not only was the tea we were drinking gone but even all the cakes, so there were only empty dishes on the table now.

Our purpose of satisfying our original hunger had been fulfilled, so I do apologize for staying even though we already finished.

We called a waiter and paid our bill before leaving the cafe.

Are there anymore places you two wanted to go to?

I was the one doing the most shopping, so Ill just accompany you two for anything you want to buy now

I justwant to eat snacks at the camp with you two so lets do that later

We already have the clothes we need and there is no problem regarding amenities since the training camp provides them.

Since well only be eating snacks on the way to the training camp or at night, its better to leave that one for last.

Well then, how about the general store? Because the hairpins I have in my room are fragile I wanted to buy a new one

Sounds good! I also wanted to buy a new one

Since Primera liked cute ornaments and accessories to begin with she agreed happily.

Since we were camping, and with the food procurement test well more or less be moving about so I wanted to buy a scrunchie or something similar.

Well then next up the general store! Please let me know if there is anywhere else you want to go~

Oka~y

Eru walked forth cheerfully as Primera followed suit with a gentle laugh, I then followed after her.

Both Primera and Eru act unreservedly around me so its very refreshing. Its different from Keito, but I felt the same sense of security as I do from Keito.

There arent any plots since there isnt any overbearing anticipation from me.

The girls know who I am, but even so they wouldnt be dissuaded even if I wasnt the daughter of the Tempest house. If our personalities werent suited for each other then we would likely be acquaintances rather than friends.

If it were like that its likely I also wouldnt have stayed with them. So I was happy with our mutual relationship.

Ah, this looks good

Eru-chan, I think that this color would suit you

Really? Then I might get that one

Ah, Maria-chan! How about buying two of these and do a twintail? It will surely be cute!

TwintailsIm not sure I could pull that off

If Maria-chan will do it I will also do it too

Hm, will you really?

Of course!

The general store turned out to be more exciting than I expected, eventually we returned home after buying some sweets without visiting any other shops.

Thus my first outing with my female friends drew to a close.

My spoils were only two scrunchies and sweets, but it was still a very fulfilling day.

On my way home, even though I was alone for some reason I still felt warm in my head and heart.
