~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was in a bind. No matter what I think, I don’t feel like dancing at a ball. After all, I’m just a Yuri gamer.

Just thinking about it won’t fix it. . .My procrastination continued until I noticed that I only had two days left until the day of the ball. The stress was making me miserable.

For the first time in a long time, I even felt like wanting to return to my original world.

I can’t help my feelings of depression. The problem in front of me is real. Is it inevitable, will I need to make a full of myself at a ball? I need to find an escape.

Perhaps on the day of the ball, could I just quietly hide in the corner of the venue? Nonchalantly excuse myself and hide from the dancing.

No, I’m not sure that will work. Camellia is surprisingly caring, and if she saw me in that lonely state, she wouldn’t leave me alone. In that scenario, that kindness is actually troublesome. . .

Once I enter the venue, there will be no escape.

So, let’s think about escaping going there.

Is it possible to use supplementary lessons as an excuse?

No that isn’t possible. The ball is an event sponsored by the academy. So it takes priority on the day.

Perhaps if I feign sickness. . .No that’s not good. It will just worry and ruin the day for everybody. And it’s likely to drag my roommate Lily into this.

It’s not good to keep the Yuri Protagonist away from a big event like the ball. It’s a waste for her to be caring for me, when she could be raising a bunch of event flags on heroines.

Hmm, Now that I think about it. I was still trying to approach Iris with the advice I got from Magnolia-san, but I wasn’t able to do it because of the Lily incident

I somewhat forgot about it, but I still think it’s better to face it up front and talk properly.

So this is a good opportunity. While escaping from the ball, I can play hooky with Iris. Then I can restore our relationship without being embarassed by the ball. It’s killing two birds with one stone. Pretty smart I think.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was a little worried about what to do If I was rejected. However fortune favors the bold, so I asked her out. Iris agreed to meet me pretty easily.

But I couldn’t have my plan be sabtogate by being in a populated place, so we walked around school for a while until we found a spot where no students were around.

“Hey. . .Why don’t we play hooky on the day of the ball?”

It’s been a while since I’ve asked her to play hooky with me.

Although in the past, I was usually invited by Iris.

She however had a surprised expression. As if she was suddenly shot. Um. . .She wouldn’t refuse, right?

“Eh. . .. What did you just say?”

“I’m inviting you to skip the ball with me.”

Could she not hear me? I’ve already come this far, I have to make sure she hears it with determination.

 So I stepped closer and said.

“Hey, I’m inviting you out Iris. . .will you join me?”

If she refused, I don’t know what I’d do.

I made sure she would hear me this time. She is pretty tall so I have to get close and look up to her. 

“Uwaa!?. . .Ah, of course.”

“Oh thank goodness. I’m looking forward to it!”

This is wonderful. I feel so relieved and happy. I unconsciously was smiling.

“Ah, this is a secret just between us, okay?”

I have to say that to make sure she won’t leak it. I’m sure she won’t but just making sure.

Also her face has been bright red for a while. . .What happened? I’m a little worried.

“Hey, are you okay. . ?”

“Hmm!? I-I’m m feeling good. S-S-So see you later, b-bye.”

It doesn’t look like you are okay. You can barely speak. 

But before I could even say anything, she rushed away in a hurry.

. . .But you will be coming, right?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lily’s Pov.

Ok I’m here. Finally the day of the ball, and I can show all my hard work. . .

The venue is crowded with young girls in beautiful dresses. Now I just have to find my beloved Shiran. Where is she?

I had to speak to her before any of the rivals took her hand.


“Will you please grant me the gift of your hand tonight.”

“Yes, Onee-sama. I’d be happy to.”

Nearby I heard some people making a pair. For a second, I felt like it was Shiran and the president. So I quickly looked towards the voice. . .it’s girls I don’t even know. Phew.

I have to keep looking but.

. . .It’s strange. My Shiran-chan radar isn’t reacting at all. 

“Please, I beg you. Let me go see Shiran-chan, just for a little. Please Cosmos.”

“It’s a school sponsored event, the student council president has to be here.”

“. . .No no no noo.” 

In the back by the wall, I found the president throwing a tantrum. Who is that person keeping her in check? That can’t be no ordinary person to be suppressing the president.

Around them were admirers fascinated by seeing those two people. Yeah I understand. They do look good together. I’ll support you.

“Right now I feel like someone nearby made a terrible misunderstanding!”

“I don’t know what you are talking about, but calm down.”

The president was crying about something, but it’s not my problem. So where is Shiran-chan. . ?

When I continued my search, I found Anemone-chan. She is also wandering around looking for something. Perhaps she is also looking for Shiran-chan.

Even Anemone, who is a master stalker, couldn’t find Shiran-chan. . .I have a bad feeling.

I looked behind me and saw Camellia standing a little away. As expected of the daughter of the Duke. She is meeting and greeting many people at the entrance. 

Whatever about the mood, I have to ask her now.

“I’m sorry to suddenly bother you, Camellia. Do you know Shiran-chan’s whereabouts?”

“Oh, I haven’t seen her. I wonder where they are.”

“Then. . .Do you know where Iris is?”

“Iris-san seems like she left something behind, so she went back to the dormitory.”

. . . Ahhhh, damnit!!

That moody Iris must have got her. If I knew she would have been involved, I should have put a collar on Shiran-chan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I kinda feel bad for Lily. She spent all that time getting good, only for Shiran to not even come. . .Though probably should have asked Shiran if she even wanted to come in the first place.

Anyways like if you did.
