“I wonder what act they’re on?

Looking somewhat bored, Itsuka Kendo sat on a folding chair in the dressing room and glanced up at the wall clock; based on the time, class B’s play would be about halfway done. A gentle breeze blew through the open window, ruffling the curtains. It was a beautiful October day, just warm enough to make one forget it was autumn.

As Kendo’s pageant attendant, Reiko Yanagi sat nearby, holding on to bags with makeup and accessories. She noticed Kendo’s gaze and spoke up.

“I hope the play’s going well.”

“Me too,” said Kendo.

The two girls had watched the dress rehearsal the day before and found themselves moved by their classmates’ efforts, so it was sure to be an amazing production, assuming nothing went wrong. A strained smile forced itself onto Kendo’s face, half out of concern, and half in faith that all would be well. If she’d been feeling like her normal self, she might’ve responded to Yanagi with, “I bet they’re killing it out there.”

“Nervous?”

Yanagi could guess what was going through Kendo’s head, so Kendo repaid her friend’s concern with a broad smile before standing.

Yeah, this isn’t like me at all.

“I’m great! We’d better get moving though. Lemme carry that?”

“Not a chance. It’s almost time for the main event, Itsuka,” said Yanagi, who also stood and made for the door before Kendo could insist on helping. Kendo felt awkward about her friend doting on her, and it showed on her face.

On her way to the dress rehearsal, she’d worn a dress several levels fancier than anything she was used to, covered up by only a thin events team windbreaker. As Kendo walked down the hall, her new look earned stares and whispers from passing students making poor attempts to hide their obvious interest. The extra attention felt like needles pricking her all over.

How do other girls wear stuff that’s so free and flowy …?

Neito Monoma and the rest of Kendo’s classmates had heaped on the praise, and she’d known it wasn’t empty flattery; they’d meant every word. Still, she felt like she’d never get used to wearing the dress.

I bet it comes as easy as breathing to someone like Yaoyorozu.

Kendo suddenly remembered her teammate during their internships, Momo Yaoyorozu. If anyone could slip into a fancy dress like she was born to do it, it would be little miss princess herself. Class A hadn’t put forward a contestant for the beauty pageant, however.

This would be Kendo’s first pageant, of course. She understood the excitement surrounding a bunch of young women competing to be the most beautiful, and as a woman herself, she could even respect that pursuit. But Kendo had never cared much about traditional notions of feminine beauty; her thing was more about being attractive and cool in ways that people typically associated with boys. Not that she wanted to be a boy. It was just about style, for her. The women competing in the beauty pageant, though, would naturally be judged on the basis of their feminine beauty.
