I Don't Run An Orphanage!

Chapter 63

Judging Aesthetics.

Everyone was outside, because today, there would be an event.

That's right, today's class 1A's costumes would be judged by the kids of the house!

The three judges, sitting at a wooden table located in front of a stage, were Shiruku, Kiba, and Nara.

The other kids were also watching, sitting on the grass nearby, along with Kiba's viewers, through cameras set up by the vampire girl, and operated by Fu and Izuku.

"Welcome everyone! To class 1A's costume display!" Kiba shouted. "Today we will be judging them based on the aesthetic of their costumes! Joining me today is my wonderful tailor, and sister, Shiruku."

"Hello!" Shiruku smiled at the camera, very excited about this.

"As well as our shapeshifting friend Nara." Kiba introduced.

"Hey?" Nara still wasn't used to being on camera but wasn't opposed to it.

"The three of us will rate each costume on a scale of 1 to 10," Kiba explained. "So without further ado! Let's bring out our first contestant! Yuga Aoyama!"

And with that, Aoyama walked on stage, clad in his sparkling armor and cape.

"Walla! So, what do you think?" Aoyama asked in his vaguely french accent, flaunting himself on stage.

The three judges took a real hard look at him, before speaking.

"It's so...gaudy," Nara said. "But at the same time...it kind of works?"

"Yeah, if you put that one on anyone else, I would say it looked terrible, but on him, it works..." Shiruku added. "Which actually makes it even better."

"I like the shining knight theme," Kiba said. "It adds to the hero feeling you're trying to portray. Overall, a very good start."

"The only real complaint I can make is that it may be a bit...too bulky?" Shiruku said, seeming a bit unsure of her criticism. "But the design itself is good, if only for you. 8 out of 10."

"I'll give it a 9." Kiba decided. "Knights are always cool."

"I'll...just go with 8." Nara decided.

"And that brings your score up to a 25 out of 30! A good start. And hard to beat!" Kiba praised Aoyama, whom if you looked hard enough you could literally see his head getting bigger.

"Hm! Bien sûr, j'ai un score élevé! I sparkle!" Aoyama said proudly, before walking off the stage.

Was that french!?

What did he say!?

It translates to Of course I score high.

Is this guy french?

Well, he's definitely unique.

Doesn't that armor get hot?

"Alright, next contestant!" Shiruku called out. "Mina Ashido!"

Mina ran on stage, and posed, making sure everyone got a good look at her costume. "Tada! Whadda you think!? Awesome right!?"

Once again the judges paused to think.

"I...I think I really like it." Nara said. "Like the guy before, I don't think it would work too well on anyone else. Her alien appearance matches the strange colors and clothing. It makes her look like a superhero who came from a different world. And the mask is a really nice touch."

"Yes! That is exactly what I was going for!" Mina said with a huge grin on her face.

"Well, you did it well. I agree with everything Nara said. But I really want to say I love the colors. Again it adds something that says, ''this is Mina's costume." Shiruku added.
