Chapter 4: Big Brother Gets A Makeover
“Well, now that we’ve settled the matter… let’s go shopping right away, Yanagisawa-kun.”
“Shopping…?”
“Yes. Simply wearing a uniform isn’t enough to call it cross-dressing, right? Considering the current situation, you’re lacking quite a few necessary items.”
Saying this, Karen let out a creepy laugh.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
RURU is a large department store located in front of Sendai Station.
Inside the large department, Fuuma’s bad friend, Shogo Kiritani was hiding against the wall, intently observing a certain scene.
Miyuki Makikusa, who happened to pass by and found his behavior suspicious, quietly called out to him from behind.
“What exactly are you doing in a place like this, Kiritani-kun?”
“Eek! Chairwoman!?”
“Hiding in the shadows like that, you looked just like a suspicious person! What on earth are you looking at—wait, the women’s underwear section!? Kiritani-kun, what are you…!!”
“No, no! I wasn’t looking there for that reason!! Look to your right, Chairwoman!!”
“To the right?—Oh, that’s Yanagisawa-kun? And an unknown girl…?”
“Chairwoman, what do you think is going on?”
“What’s going on… I have no idea!”
“Right? Going to look at women’s underwear with a girl, it doesn’t make any sense. Wait a minute. That black-haired beauty, could she be Fuuma’s girlfriend? Maybe he’s shopping with her?”
“For… for underwear!?”
“Gah! I’m so jealous!!! Pretending you’re not interested in women, but then going on a date with your girlfriend!? That popular jerk!! I’ll nail a straw doll at the witching hour, you jerk!!”
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
“Ah-choo!!” Suddenly, I sneezed loudly, and Karen gave me a stern look. Then, holding two bras in her hands, she displayed them in front of me and spoke in an annoyed tone.
“Yanagisawa-kun, are you listening to me?”
“Oh, sorry. What were you saying?”
“I was asking which of these underwear you’d prefer to wear. I think this pale pink one suits you. Just imagining you in this cute, fairy-tale-like bra… pfft, I can’t stop laughing!”
“Um, why do I have to wear women’s underwear? Is it necessary for cross-dressing?”
“Ugh, seriously. Listen, Yanagisawa-kun. You’ll be attending an all-girls’ school from now on, right? You need to cross-dress seriously so you don’t get found out. What will you do if your skirt flips up? How will you explain wearing men’s underwear if other students see it? Just having such suspicious evidence will make everyone wary of you. You need to be perfectly disguised both inside and out. Understand?”
“Is that really how it is…?”
“That’s exactly how it is. We’ll also buy pads to make your breast (chest) look bigger. Oh, and you’ll need a wig. With your short hair, you look too much like a boy. When we get home, I’ll personally coordinate everything for you. Consider yourself honored.”
Saying this, she tossed both bras into the shopping basket and started picking out other underwear with a somewhat delighted expression.
Thinking about what’s to come, I almost felt like pressing a gun to my temple and ending it all… but this is all for the future of me and Rurika.
Rurika, your brother will endure the Hananomiya family’s torment and fulfill his duty. Even if my appearance changes, my heart remains your brother! I won’t let this wicked woman steal my heart! So, please watch over me, my dear sister!!!
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
“…No, Onii-chan… I’m sorry, but honestly, I’m a bit put off…”
Back at home, following Karen’s instructions, I put on the wig and cross-dressed, only to be greeted by my sister’s horrified expression. Seeing her look at me with such disdain, something I had never seen before, I couldn’t help but get down on all fours and lower my head.
Ignoring my depressed state, Karen tilted her head curiously and spoke to Rurika.
“Really? This doesn’t seem too bad to me. I thought it was pretty good…”
“Huh?! Ah, so, it’s not that it’s bad. On the contrary, the fact that he looks like an actual normal girl was what turned me off…”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“It’s like… my brother turning into a girl just feels so wrong…”
“Wrong?”
“Y-yeah… Oh, maybe this is why… um, Karen-san! Can I try putting some makeup on my brother!?”
“Makeup… good idea. I hadn’t considered that. Go ahead, Rurika-san.” “Yes! I’ll get my makeup kit from my room!”
“Thank you. Now, Yanagisawa-kun, stop acting like a dog and sit on that chair.” “Y-yes ma’am…” After that, Karen and Rurika began my grand makeover. They applied lotion, foundation, and various cosmetics on my face—about twenty minutes later. Once the process was done, Rurika nervously turned to Karen.
“I-I tried my best to put makeup on him… h-how does it look, Karen-san?”
“Wow? Rurika-san, you’re really good at makeup. It looks wonderful.”
“R-really!?”
“Yes. But maybe just a bit of blush under the eyes and on the cheeks would be nice.”
“Yeah, you’re right. My brother has pale skin, so adding some color is a good idea. Maybe we should also try mascara to enhance his lashes… wow, your lashes are so long, brother. I’m jealous; I wish mine were that long.”
“With Yanagisawa-kun’s features, he might actually suit a Lolita fashion. Adding ribbons or other decorations to the wig could work well.”
“Oh, that’s a great idea! I love Harajuku-style fashion, but I also like Lolita style! I have a few outfits that might work! Though they probably won’t fit him, which is a shame.”
As they worked together, Rurika and Karen seemed to grow closer, chatting and laughing without a care for my feelings.
Um Rurika, don’t you feel sorry for your brother being turned into a girl? Your brother has reached a state of enlightenment, you know? When they were applying foundation, I was in a “just kill me” state. I was staring into space like a samurai before his execution.
“Rurika-san, can you come over here and look at my phone? This is just my taste, but… what do you think about this outfit for Yanagisawa-kun? Do you think it would suit him?”
“Wow! A punk style! It’s so cool! I didn’t know you liked punk fashion, Karen-san. That’s a surprise!”
Still… Karen Hananomiya. At first, I thought she was a harsh and violent person like her aunt since she’s from the Hananomiya family, but she doesn’t seem too bad.
Seeing her get along and laugh with the usually shy Rurika, she looks just like an ordinary high school girl, completely unrelated to the Hananomiya family. Gently smiling at their friendly conversation, I touched the old scar on my abdomen through my clothes.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
“It’s done.”
That single word instantly woke me from my nap, and I opened my eyes. In the mirror before me stood a beautiful girl with half-twin tails, dressed in the Hananomiya Girls’ Academy uniform.
The beautiful girl in front of me was sitting in a chair, her eyes wide open in surprise, staring intently at me.
Seeing that image, I froze. Because, no matter how I looked, the girl in front of me was completely different from my previous self.
She has large, glaring blue eyes with long lashes, a healthy skin tone, plump lips.
Her long platinum blonde hair, shimmering in white gold. In the mirror was a beautiful foreign-looking girl with a gothic doll-like atmosphere.
I understood in my mind that this girl was my cross-dressed self. I understood, but… for a moment, I couldn’t recognize her as myself, she seemed like someone else entirely.
I was shocked at how much makeup could transform me, my mouth agape. It felt like magic or a trick.
“Hehe, I knew the material was good, but I didn’t expect this transformation. With this, there’s no way anyone will find out Yanagisawa-kun is a boy. It’s perfect.”
“Yes!! Big brother…no, Big sister is perfect!! She’s the perfect beautiful girl!! When I think about the fact that I’ve created such a peerless beautiful girl, I feel extremely scared!!”
“Thank you, Rurika. Thanks to you, we made such a wonderful creation.”
“N-no, thank you, Karen-san! This girl is a collaboration born out of our friendship!”
Saying this, Rurika and Karen shook hands firmly beside me.
As for me, I couldn’t take my eyes off the beautiful girl in the mirror. Because that image… somehow, reminded me of my mother who passed away when I was young.
