Being A ‘Girl’

Entering the shop forcefully, I could only give up and follow the excited Sakura and Shinomiya.

"Come on Saki-chan! I'll pick out nice clothes for you to make you really pretty!"

Sakura looks impatient to dress Misaki.

Ahhh!!! I want to run away from here!!

Misaki screamed in her heart and no one could hear it.

This is even worse than I thought.

"Saki-chan, wait here and let us bring you suitable clothes."

Shinomiya said while carrying Sakura. Meanwhile, far away Kazuto and Horimiya were watching near the door. They seemed to be getting closer since they spoke earlier.

Ugh, Shinomiya even got into this plan.

She felt tired just being told to stand up and let them pick her clothes.

Shortly, after that Sakura came first with the clothes she chose.

"This will definitely suit you very well Saki-chan!"

Sakura said as she brought a dress made of cotton in black with a charming motif. This dress is sleeveless and looks very cute with a classic wide collar, plus a belt accent that will make the wearer show off her slim curves. This dress is perfect for spring and summer.

"That's good, but..... It's too big Sakura-chan."

Misaki said when she saw the size of the dress that was supposed to be for adults.

Sakura patted her head as she realized that, and she returned to look for a match.

"Hah, that girl is too excited and doesn't pay attention to her surroundings."

Misaki sighed.

"Saki-chan, what do you think about this? I tried to pick you one that fits your size and can make you comfortable."

Shinomiya came with a short flare skirt in black and made of chiffon, as well as a light blue turtleneck sweater. This type of clothing is perfect for a casual look, and also gives off a distinctly feminine feeling.

"That size looks perfect on me."

Misaki said with a wry smile.

She was speaking the truth, because even if she could avoid wearing skirts now, dresses and the others like, in the future she might still be asked to wear them.

Her mother also now often complains about her not looking like a girl, and may also insist on wearing it in the future.

So she chose to try to get used to them now, even if she didn't want to.

"Is that so. Then you'd better go and try."

Shinomiya said with sparkling eyes.

Somehow he felt happy when praised by Misaki.

"Ugh.... Alright."

With heavy steps, Misaki went inside and tried to put it on.

Goodbye my true male soul.

Misaki was crying in her heart, because she had never touched skirt-like clothes in the past to maintain her status as a man, but now it seems that status will soon be revoked.

Hufff, alright me, keep calm. It's no more embarrassing than wearing women's underwear, so it's fine. Wait, isn't wearing women's underwear even more embarrassing than this?

Misaki realized that after a long time in her life.

Strengthening her resolve inwardly, she finally give up and wearing the clothes with trembling hands that kept her in the changing room for a long time.

"Come on Saki-chan, don't be shy!"

Sakura felt very impatient because she had been inside for too long and immediately shifted the curtain and showed Misaki.

"Kyaah!"

Misaki had already finished changing, but she was mentally unprepared when the curtain suddenly opened.

With a sweater that was covered to the neck and long hair that was not tied, and a short skirt that wasn't longer than her thighs, also wearing long black stockings made her reveal her feminine figure as her cute face was blushing with embarrassment, and her eyes weren't focused on one place. She didn't dare look at them because she's too nervous.

"Woah, that looks so pretty!"

"Saki-chan is really pretty when she's wearing a skirt."

"..."

"Ara~ your cute face does suit that."

Everyone gave their opinion with amazed faces because Misaki look so beautiful and cute in her clothes, except for Kazuto who immediately ran to the corner and had a nosebleed at the sight of Misaki's look which he had never seen before, and returning with his cell phone to capturing that rare moment.

"Don't take my pictures, stupid Onii-chan!"

Misaki warned with a half-crying face.

"Who said I took a pictures? I just recorded."

Kazuto replied without caring about his sister's opinion as he continued to record.

"That's even worse!!"

"Hmm, those clothes do suit Misaki. Shall we take them?"

Kazuto asked as he looked at Horimiya and the others.

"Of course!"

"Hmm, hmm."

"I'm not the one to decide."

"Okay, we'll take it."

Kazuto nodded hearing their agreement.

"I haven't even given my opinion yet!!"

Misaki complained.

"Next outfit."

"There is even more!!!?"

This time Sakura came in a dress similar to the one she brought before, but with a different color and pattern, and the size was adjusted to Misaki's.

"I've found the perfect size for you!"

Sakura said cheerfully.

"No longer!!!"

Ahhh!!! My soul as a man was eroded!

After that, Misaki continued to be a make-up doll by Sakura and Horimiya by bringing various kinds of clothes, from casual clothes to nightgowns they all tried on her, and Kazuto would always agree to buy it if it suited on her.

I don't know how much money their mother gave to him. Maybe she was also enthusiastic too which was why Kazuto was asked to document it in the form of a tape.

Ahh.... I feel like my life was taken dozens of times today.

It was already afternoon when they finished playing Misaki, Kazuto didn't think they would take too long to do it either. Misaki herself just stared blankly with no clear purpose and her spirit seemed to have been ripped out. She felt her soul as a man had been tainted. Her vitality had plummeted and had almost hit zero.

"Ermm... I think we overdid it."

Kazuto said while scratching his head awkwardly. He didn't expect this to cause this kind of mental damage to her.

"Don't worry Saki-chan, you seem to be getting better with all of that!"

Sakura tries to cheer Misaki up with her energetic personality.

"Ugh.... I'm just not used to it, forget it."

Misaki replied with a helpless smile. If they weren't her friends, she would reject all ideas of wearing them today.

"Well, since it's late we should go home. But before that, how about we have some sweets?"

Shinomiya's suggestion. She had also chosen clothes for herself before anyone noticed, so they could go out quickly without waiting for her to choose.

"Good idea, there's a new cafe selling a lot of sweets across here. We can go and try it."

Horimiya said with her casual smile.

"Alright, to celebrate the day Misaki became a 'girl', I'll treat you guys!"

Kazuto said. After all their mother gave him a lot of money to spend, so it would be a waste if it wasn't put to good use.

"""Ouhh!!"""

"...Ooh."

Everyone answered in unison with high spirits, except for Misaki who was currently in a dying state.

After that they left and went to the cafe. The clothes they had bought would be sent via delivery service, because Misaki had bought at least 2 wardrobes for her. How many thousand yen would it take for them to buy it? Misaki also doesn't like them spending money at that way.

---

Soon they arrived at their destination because this place was just across from the clothing store they had visited.

"Welcome."

A girl who was at least the same age as Misaki greeted them as they entered. She had long, pure white hair that was left loose, with wide blue eyes and a face that didn't give much expression. She wore a blue vest along with her long-sleeved uniform. The unique thing about her is that on her head there is something hairy with a round shape. Misaki and the others weren't sure whether it was a living being or not.

"Chino-chan, that's not how we accept a guest."

Reprimand a woman who is at least 25 years old.

"But this is standard at home with my father."

The little girl named Chino replied flatly.

"Hahh, this father of yours. Goofing off on vacation and telling me to take care of you all of a sudden... Never mind, do your job well and treat our customers okay? I'll take care of the back for a while."

The woman said before lowering her head to them and walking away.

"My name is Chino, welcome to Rabbit's Cafe. In the meantime please find a comfortable seat before ordering."

Chino greeted politely and still with a straight face.

(Just realized I've even included one of the anime characters here in case you know who it is, lol)

Sitting in a place that has been provided, they immediately ordered.

"Chino-chan, why is this place called Rabbit's Cafe? I haven't seen any rabbits here at all."

Sakura, a person who could easily become close friends with others finally asked curiously. Neither in terms of the interior there were any decorations related to rabbits at all, nor did she didn't see a single rabbit anywhere, but the atmosphere here was very comfortable with simple and unobtrusive western-style decorations.

"Of course there is, he's our mascot here, you know."

Chino answered with a straight face as she took the order. Her tone was filled with dissatisfaction as she felt they looked down on her.

"Then where is it?"

Sakura asked again.

"Right in front of you."

Chino's replied.

"You?"

Sakura tilted her head in confusion because there was no way Chino was a rabbit.

"Watch better."

Chino sighed shortly after the furry ball above her head jump up and down as if it was displeased.

"It's moving!!"

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

Then the ball jumped and Chino caught it with both hands.

"This is our mascot bunny here."

Chino said with an indifferent face.

"Ehh!!?""

Everyone is shocked.

However they thought that the furry thing was some kind of hat which might be their trademark.

"I thought it was some kind of mutated sheep."

Sakura said without thinking as she looked closely at the animal that was thought to be a rabbit.

"How rude, I am really a rabbit!"

A hoarse voice escaped from the fur ball as it jumped up and down furiously in Chino's hands.

"It's even talking!"

Now she was even more surprised.

"This is the belly sound I trained. There's no way animals can talk."

Chino said hastily as if she was covering something up.

"Hahaha... Chino-chan can be joking, how can an animal speak fluently like that."

Kazuto said with a fake laugh. He was pretty sure the beasts were talking, but didn't dig further into it because they were here to eat.

Not long after that their order arrived. They all ordered a perfait with crepe and sweet pastries.

Their taste uploads the taste buds with a sweet feeling when tasting each food. Misaki is now even more excited because she wants to know each of these recipes. She wanted to try making it at home.

They also became a bit familiar with Chino while talking to her while carrying her round bunny.

"Please come again."

Chino said as she ushered them out.

"Thanks for the sweets Chino-chan, they are so delicious!"

Said the energetic Sakura. With her personality being able to get closer to strangers, she can relate well to Chino more than anyone else. Although Chino always had a nonchalant face, she responded well to everything when talking to Sakura.

"Good bye, Chino-chan! I hope we'll meet again!"

Chino gave a faint smile in response while holding her rabbit.

"Come again if you want to taste it."

With that cover sentence they all out and split up with her.
