Volume 1: First Performance: A Tragic Love Story Of A Young Lady And Spring Cherry Blossoms

Chapter 6: Cross-Dressing Boy Is Afraid Of Skirts

“Ugh… what is this humiliating play…”

Spring is the season when cherry blossoms bloom and new life begins.

As the new green leaves sprouted and little birds flew comfortably through the warm air in the sky, I found myself—somehow dressed as a girl—trudging alone along the path to school.

 

Seriously, how did it end up like this?

 

I’m honestly just confused about the situation I find myself in right now.

 

Feeling depressed, I let out a big sigh.

 

I walked briskly along the sidewalk towards the nearest station.

 

“…But even though the length isn’t that short, skirts are… well, you know. Since they expose a lot of body parts, I get really worried that my underwear will be visible.”

 

Although I may look like this now, I am a real man, so naturally I have a Naumann’s elephant between my legs.

 

Well, maybe Naumann’s elephant was an exaggeration.

 

I exaggerated a bit. Yep, it’s a worm at best.

 

…Ahem. I’ve gone off topic, but anyway.

 

Women may be used to it, but for men, wearing a skirt that constantly exposes below the knee is extremely embarrassing.

 

I’m terrified that just walking on the way to school like this will expose my worm.

 

“Whoa, there’s someone walking towards me!”

 

I pulled my skirt down to keep it from flapping and bowed my head as I passed a salaryman coming towards me.

 

The moment we passed each other, my heart was pounding so hard I thought it might burst, worrying that he would realize I was a man, but the salaryman just glanced my way for a second and then walked away without seeming to care.

 

I put my hand to my chest and let out a big sigh, happy that I had somehow managed to get through it safely.

 

 

However…there is still a long way to go until our destination, Hananomiya Girls’ Academy.

 

Now I have to take a train to Sendai Station and then a bus to Hananomiya Girls’ Academy.

But even so, if it was like this after just passing by one person, no matter how many hearts I had, it wouldn’t be enough.

 

…Damn, from here on out I have no choice but to make up my mind and move forward.

 

Even though I’m a little scared right now, I have no choice but to do my best and head to the nearest station.

 

Ugh…I never imagined that the familiar journey to the station would feel such a hellish road…

 

With determination, I walked straight down the sidewalk towards the station.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

 

Somehow I managed to make it to the station, and, trying to stay quiet, blended in with the hustle and bustle of the rush-hour commuter crowd – through the ticket gate, down the escalator, and onto the platform for Sendai Station.

 

I then decided to stand at the end of the queue to board the train and wait there for the 7:40 train to arrive.

 

I glanced around and didn’t see anyone who looked surprised or like I was a pervert.

 

People sometimes looked at me strangely, perhaps in reaction to my face and hair – and my foreign features, but that had happened frequently even before I started cross-dressing, so it wasn’t anything to be particularly concerned about.

So far, there was no sign that anyone around me knew that I was a man.

 

Seeing that sight, I let out a short sigh, “Fuu.”

 

 

For now, it looks like there’s no need to worry about being found out as a man, which was my biggest fear.

I feel relieved that I managed to avoid the worst-case scenario of being arrested by the police for being a pervert.

 

(…But it’s still too early to relax.)

 

There’s a chance that your weaknesses will be revealed when you actually interact with people.

 

It would be wise to avoid contact with active people and stay in the shadows for now.

 

Yes, at that moment I was lost in thought.

 

Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice from the next row.

 

“—So, Fuuma was on a date with a beautiful black-haired girl the other day!! And he was even looking at underwear together with her? Isn’t that unforgivable?”

 

Suddenly I heard my name and my shoulders involuntarily shook.

 

 

When I turned to look over at the row next to me where I had heard the voice, I saw my classmate, Shogo Kiritani, chatting with his friend from the same junior high school, Tohru Arisaka.

 

The sight made me freeze in my tracks, and I just stood there in shock.

Their conversation continued, ignoring me.

 

“Fuuma is with an incredibly beautiful girl. And they seem to get along quite well. Doesn’t that annoy you?”

 

“Shogo, why don’t you stop being jealous just because Fuuma has a girlfriend? He’s popular with the girls, so it’s only natural that he could get a girlfriend.”

 

“Hey Tohru, have you forgotten that the three of us made a virgin alliance in middle school? Have you forgotten how we talked on the riverbank about not getting girlfriends and nurturing our friendship as guys instead?

“…No, you’re the one who unilaterally forced us into an alliance. Fuuma and I never agreed to join such a ridiculous alliance in the first place.”

 

“Argh! This is what the elite glasses guys from Shuuei Academy are like!! Has he already gotten himself a genius girl from Shuuei with these glasses? Argh! With these glasses, argh!”

 

“No, I don’t have a girlfriend yet, and glasses have nothing to do with it… Hm?”

 

“Huh? What’s up? Why are you suddenly looking over at the next row…? Whoa, she’s super cute… Who is this girl, an angel?”

 

As I was openly eavesdropping on their conversation from right in front of them, I suddenly found myself making eye contact with the two of them.

 

I immediately turned my body the other way, sweat dripping down my forehead.

 

My heart was pounding like an alarm bell, and it felt like it might explode at any moment.

 

(This is bad, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad――――――!!!!)

 

I never imagined I’d run into friends in a place like this.

 

W-what should I do…how should I get through this…!!

 

Ignoring my anxiety, Shogo Kiritani, the guy with permed hair who is in heat all year round, called out to me unashamedly beside me.

 
“Uh, um! What’s your name?! By the way, that uniform… It’s from Hananomiya Girls’ Academy, right? No wonder I thought you were so pretty! Oh, I’m Shogo Kiritani! First year at Segawa High! What am I even saying to a girl I just met… Haha, hahaha! …Do you understand Japanese?”

 

“Hey, Shogo. Don’t go flirting in the morning. Besides, students from Hanamiya Girls’ Academy are way out of our league. There’s no way a future celebrity would bother with ordinary students like us.”

 

 

“Shut up, Tohru! I, I fell in love at first sight! I fell in love at first sight! My soul was pierced by this angelic beauty, this girl who could put idols to shame!”

 

 

Just as Shogo raised his voice, the train conveniently arrived in front of us.

 

After the doors opened and the passengers inside exited, people lined up to board the train all entered at once.

 

 

“Wait, wait, Angel-chan!! At least tell me your name~~!!!!”

 

Shogo, who was standing in the next row, was swept away by the wave of people and ended up boarding another car.

 

For the time being, the crisis seems to have somehow passed.

  

I let out a sigh and got on the train.

 

“…Even so, that was close. Since we live in the same area, it’s only natural to run into acquaintances while cross-dressing. I’ll have to be more careful from now on…”

 

I muttered to myself as I wiped the sweat from my forehead.

 

Who knows what’s going to happen in the future? I need to stay focused and continue acting like a high school girl.
