[Moegi PoV]

Aoi-chan is a naturally unaware girl. She usually maintains a calm and cool image with no apparent change in her expressions, appearing as a cute and reserved girl.

However, she has recently been undergoing changes. To put it simply, she's been getting closer to him, to the extent that their shoulders sometimes touch. She herself isn't conscious of it, but this change in her behavior is instinctual.

He has noticed this change and is somewhat flustered by it. Observing this, both Kohaku-chan and Karen-chan are frustrated and upset. The reason for their frustration is simple: Aoi-chan has been working hard on her theater practice. This makes it difficult to approach the situation, and as the performance date approaches, Aoi-chan seems increasingly nervous. In response, he's been trying to support her, which is why their proximity has increased. In short, it's a delicate situation.

[The terrifying nature of an unaware kuudere... I can't make any moves if she's practicing so diligently... I need to become a more intense character too.]

[I feel the same way...]

Will they be alright, both of them...

Well, with all that said, they continue to prepare for the cultural festival. During this time, he considers various ways to help Aoi-chan relax.

[I've heard that drinking water can ease nervousness... I want Aoi-senpai to drink some good water, even better than tap water, even better than natural spring water, it should be water from a stream in another world... Yes, let's go to another world...]

He mutters to himself and suddenly takes Mel-chan with him to another world. If he hears that something works well, he goes all out on it, whether it's yogurt, chocolate, or anything else. He searches the internet for various methods to alleviate nervousness.

Having exhausted every possible option, they finally approach the day of the performance tomorrow.

[Natsuko PoV]

The bustling sounds of people fill the air, and it's noisier than usual. The reason is simple: the general public is allowed to enter the school for the cultural festival. Amidst this, our Gindou-san is holding a promotional placard near the entrance, and I'm with him, wandering around, trying to attract visitors.

"No way, this outfit is embarrassing..."

"Well, it can't be helped."

We're both dressed in maid uniforms.

"Wow, so cute!"

"Could she be a model?"

"Oi oi, don't go overboard... cute."

"Oi oi, don't exaggerate... cute."

"The girl next to her is pretty cute too."

"...More like curry's lucky god, right?"

"Lucky God Maid, huh? I kinda like it."

Oi, who's the lucky god here? Is this a war? Well, I do like lucky god, though. Thinking that, we continue to wander around. Then, I see someone familiar with red hair and a hairband. Today, she doesn't have twin tails.

"Oh, hello, senpai."

"Um, are you Natsuko? Hello..."

She's surprisingly not great at social interactions. Maybe if we had more time, we could have a light conversation, but we don't have many chances.

"It suits you well, Karen-senpai."

"Well, it's only natural."

"Do you know the word 'modesty'?"
