3rd Person's POV: It was the second day of the beach trip and the group decided to go to the nearby town to explore. The group were looking at the buildings and the people that were out and about, giving off a very relaxed feeling. As they walked, Haru noticed a dagashiya. "Guys look, a dagashiya." said Haru, grabbing the group's attention "Wow, I haven't been to one since I was a little kid." said Hana "It's kinda rare to see one these days." said Chiyoko "Hey, how about we buy some snacks while we're here." said Megumi "I like that idea." said Kanako. And so, the group headed inside, while one of Asami's bodyguard waited outside for them to finish. As they grabbed their snacks and went to pay for it, the elderly woman at the cash resister was checking them out when she looked at Haru and said "Oh my, aren't you a beautiful young lady." Haru could only sigh before telling the old woman politely that he is a boy. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry about dear. It's a shame though, with looks like yours I'm sure that you would have won the yukata contest." "A yukata contest?" questioned Nanami as she and the other girls got closer to listen better. "That's right, a yukata contest. Our town holds a beauty contest where girls get dressed up in yukatas and are judge by how good they look and how well they answer the questions. The one who get's the most points will be crowned Miss Yukata." While this fascinated the girls, Haru didn't show real interest. 'That's sounds like something some girls would be into but definitely not me.' thought Haru. The group paid for their snacks and left the dagashiya, continuing their exploration of the town. As Haru thought about what to do later, the girls had already decided what they wanted to do already.

Cutting to later in the day, Haru was currently the only one at the house at that moment. Some time ago, the girls said they were going out to do something. "I wander what they're doing right now?" Haru wondered aloud "Maybe they're doing an activity that only girls can do." said Yuki "Or maybe they wanted to hangout by themselves. Who knows?" "Well, I'm sure whatever it is, it must be fun for them to be out for a while." Just then, the door to the house slammed open and Hana cried out for Haru. "What's up guys?" asked Haru once he was downstairs "We decided to sign up for the yukata contest." said Asami "Huh, that's great. I'll be sure to cheer for you guys in the audience." The girls looked at each other nervously, which Haru quickly caught on. "Is there something wrong?" "Um..." "Well..." "Here's the thing Haru. We might have signed you up as a contestant as well." said Nanami as she twiddled with her fingers. No one said anything for a few seconds before Har screamed out "Whaaaaattt!?" "We're really sorry but the person in charge said they needed one more person for the contest as one of the contestants had to drop out to personal reasons. And we thought, since you make a convincing girl, we sign you up." said Kanako "Well I'm sorry to break the news to you but I'm not doing it. It's already bad enough that I had to wear the swimsuit that my sister snuck into my bag, I don't to do anymore crossdressing than I have to." "But Haru if you drop out, they'll cancel the contest." "Hmpf!" "*sigh* I'm sorry Haru but you leave me with no choice." said Asami as she snapped her fingers.

Suddenly, two maids appear behind Haru and restrained him. "Huh? What the?!" "Take Haru to the dressing room. I'm sure that there's a yukata that he can wear." "Yes ma'am." "Hold on. I said wait!" Haru could do nothing but cry out as the maids dragged him away to get him dressed. "We're gonna have to make it up to him after all this." said Sakura "Yeah, I know. Well, let's get dressed. The contest will be starting soon." Meanwhile with Haru; the poor boy had been stripped down to his underwear and was cowering in a corner of the room as the maids held a yukata and other accessories as they got closer to him. "Stay away. Stay away!" cried out Haru but his words fell on deaf ears "We're terribly sorry Mister Sato but when Madame tells us to do something." said one maid "We must do it." said the other one. Haru trembled in horror as they got closer. "Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!"
