“The first meeting! Big meeting to drop Orimura-kun~~~!”
After school, I left Arata behind and immediately returned to my lodgings at the home of Botan, the president of the office I belonged to.
Botan’s voice echoed in the cozy living room.
I was somewhat embarrassed to see her, as I could not believe that she was already past her thirtieth birthday.
“Are you that happy that I talked to Botan about Arata?”
“Of course I’m happy! I’ve been watching the two of you since elementary school! so I wanted to do something for you as an older person, but Amagi-san has never asked me for advice before,…….~”
“So” Botan coughed,
“What are you going to wear on your next date with Orimura-kun? I’m going to dress you up a lot and make him think about it!!”
“Ouu”
“…… and if he goes out with you, you might be in a super good mood and do a lot more work for me. I’m going to make some more money. ……!”
“Hmmm? What did you say, Botan?”
“Nothing!”
The Inn incident made me reflect.
I realized that such tactics as “bath,” “same room,” and so on, are rather counterproductive to Arata.
If I crossed a certain line, he would use his signature memory manipulation technique and pretend that it had never happened.
The only way to win the favor of this insensitive jerk was to go head-to-head with him.
Then I thought of a date.
Going out alone with Arata is not unusual.
But what if I was dressed up more than usual? What if I was prettier and more beautiful than usual? Wouldn’t that change Arata’s reaction?
I thought so and asked Botan about it.
I am a model, but I don’t know much about fashion in the “cute” or “pretty” sense.
“So, here’s the first one! Here it is!”
“……No, no, this is as expected…….”
“In the past, it was a colored item, but these days, this kind of thing has become a common thing, you know? It’s not weird at all!”
She pushed me in the door and I accepted it with a sigh.
I moved to another room and finished changing.
When I returned to the living room, Botan blushed and rolled her eyes when she saw me.
“Yaaaaaaa……! Eeeh, Amagi-san, you’re super cute!”
First, I was handed what is known as gothic lolita.
A black and white one-piece dress decorated with a large amount of frills. The ribbon catsuit is so cute that it looks like it was done on purpose.
The design is bizarre, but I don’t even wear skirts outside of my school uniform, which makes me feel even more uncomfortable.
It is just ……so damn cute.
Ha ……? is this too much Is this really it?
“Is there any work in this direction…? There’s actually quite a demand for this kind of clothes for the prince…? I smell money. ……!”
“Hmm? What are you mumbling about?”
“Nothing~! I’ll have the next one, please!”
Again moving to another room and changing into the clothes that were given to me.
When I returned to the living room, Botan let out a “Wowww,” she exclaimed.
“I knew it would look good on you, but I didn’t think it would go this far! Wait, can I take one picture ……?”
“No, thanks.”
The white knit with the shoulders bare and shorts.
The length of the knit is so long that it appears as if I am not wearing anything underneath.
Even though it’s such a naughty fashion, I actually wear it properly, so it looks wholesome.
Woww…… this is so bad, so bad
I’m sure Arata will be stretching his nose out like this! It’s going to reach the floor!
“Let’s see, next…”
And so on, I put on my third, fourth, and fifth dresses.
After finishing all of them, I sat down on the sofa.
“Which one was the best for you, Botan?”
“Hmmm…it’s hard to say. I like them all, and they all seem like they’ll make a lot of money———no, but I think they’ll stick with Orimura-kun. I’ll call my usual makeup artist for the date, so let’s discuss it and decide.””
“I guess so.”
The meeting ended.
When Botan took a light breath, she raised an eyebrow and said, “But you know what?”
“On this date, Orimura-kun is also getting excited, and Amagi-san is getting too conscious, so she can’t really appeal to him in the way she want him to!…..right? Are you okay with that?”
“It’s okay. Arata, he never dressed up when he go out with me.”
Perhaps because he doesn’t think of me as someone of the opposite gender, he really only pays attention to the bare minimum.
He values functionality. As long as it’s easy to move around, that’s all that matters.
I think he should dress up a little more ……, but for once I’m grateful.
If Arata, who is already cool, were to enhance his visuals any further, I’d definitely end up freaking out and wouldn’t even be able to go on a date.
Even if I keep looking at him, I can’t make eye contact with him, and there’s no doubt that their my will become so suspicious that I won’t even be able to respond properly.
Also, my heart would probably explode and I would die.
Well, I’m really glad! Arata is not interested in fashion!”
I’ll do my best on the date~~!

School is over and Kurusu immediately leaves the classroom.
Three girls from my class saw her and came to my desk.
“The prince, she left at a great speed, is she alright? Shouldn’t you go, Orimura-kun?”
“I’m off today. She said something about preparing for the next time we’re going out together.”
“”It’s a date. ……!””
The girls unite their voices.
Is it a date ……?
Well, if we only cut out the part about a man and a woman going out together, it’s a date, isn’t it?
“By preparing, I guess the prince is trying to be as fashionable as possible…?”
“Absolutely! she is planning on catching Orimura-kun…!”
“Even at the prince level, she has to work that hard… Orimura-kun, you’re a sinful man…”
The three of them exchanged giggles and turned their glazed eyes on me.
“The prince is working hard to get ready, so naturally, Orimura-kun is going to dress up a lot, too, right?”
“Eh? No, I’m not interested in that kind of thing.”
“It’s not a matter of whether or not you are interested, but if the prince is going to go to all the trouble of making you look beautiful, it’s only polite for you to respond to that, Orimura-kun.”
“I-Is that so ……?”
“That’s right! Anyone would be happy if the person walking next to them was cool!”
I don’t think that Kurusu would care about such things now, but I thought the girls had a point.
It’s different if the other side works hard and we don’t.
I don’t think there’s much point in trying, but it’s still better to do it than not to do it at all.
“Okay…… Then, I’ll buy some new clothes too.”
“That’s not enough! Let’s get everything from shoes to accessories!”
“Hey boys! Teach him how to do his hair!”
“You usually help me with tests and club activities, and this time we’ll do our best to help you!”
“Eh, you don’t have to put that much effort into it. ……”
“””Just leave it to me!”””
“…..Y-yes ……!”
In the blink of an eye, my classmates surrounded me.
And so I was carried along like a portable shrine as I went shopping.
…Even if I put that much effort into it, Kurusu probably won’t even notice.
I feel like it’s a waste of money, but… well, I guess I’ll just call it study money.

A certain day in June.
The weather is cloudy.
I was on my way to the meeting place for my date when I spotted Arata in the distance,
“Waaa ……ah ……!”
I held my head and fainted.
