Have you ever wondered how one should act? Well, I honestly hadn't asked myself that question until I saw my sister, who has a very peculiar trait: she dresses and acts like a man. There's nothing wrong with that; she's free to act however she pleases. But here's where I have a question. I asked her directly if...
『Sister, do you... like women?!』
『Yes, of course I do. If it were up to me, I'd want to get along with all of them. You know, wherever I set my sights, I go for it.』
Well, that's good, I like women too, and I think in the same way as my sister, I can't help but want to defend and protect them when I see one. I feel that they are more fragile than normal, and I have been taught since I was a child that the strongest always have great responsibilities and virtues. We can't help but see the small and others as inferior. It's a complexity that I suppose has transcended the passage of time. You know, I'm a descendant of the Dragon Species, one of the strongest in the ancient world, large flying lizards with terrible strength and fire-breathing abilities, capable of destroying cities in their wake. There are different types, but as you'll see, I'm one of the classics, one of those who rejects the idea that I'm strong. I understand that, and as I said, I can't help always wanting to involve someone else in my affairs. We are very easygoing, no, we are very impulsive in certain ways. We do things even though we know better, and with our solitary pride, we tend to think that our path and desire is what everyone else wants. I know my flaws very well, and of course, they have caused me problems. Let's say that when I receive compliments, I take them very personally. I have blushed many times over the smallest things *smiles*. But I have also gotten upset over silly things. I have that under control now, but my parents told me that when I was little, I was very quarrelsome. Now, what bothers me the most is definitely when people don't pick on me, but instead pick on my friends and the people I care about. The slightest sign that they might be in danger, and I'm there to build a wall around them, to defend them with sword and shield, with claws and wings! With that attitude I take, in addition to my appearance, you know, dragons aren't exactly known for being very effeminate. Before, all dragons had rough features, both males and females, and even today that remains, accompanied by my personality. I think that many times, don't think I've noticed, but they mistake me for a male on several occasions. And well, whether you like it or not, that gives you a reputation that I don't know whether to see as a good thing or a bad thing. There are some girls who are very interested in me romantically, and there are boys who are very interested in me because of the masculinity I carry. It's a reputation that... I don't understand how Kiyomiya Kyto can handle this. He also gets a lot of attention from girls. It's incredible that he has rejected a few. I don't think I could do that, at least not as directly as he does. The only girl who had the courage to confess her feelings to me, I told her honestly.
『I'm sorry, but I like boys.』
My response spread like wildfire, as if I hadn't said it when I introduced myself on the first day of class. I clearly told them my name and, to leave no doubt, that I am a girl despite my appearance. But of course, thanks to that first declaration, for which I am very grateful, you made my school life more enjoyable *smiles*. Now everyone knows, from different grades and sections, that Arami is a dragon girl. I thought this would clarify everything, but I see that in this world, even if there are no rules for everything, some still have the courage to say to my face that...
『I don't care, as long as you're still you, I'll still like you!!』
Huh? What do you mean by that? Huh? Are you attracted to my masculine appearance and attitude? But I'm a girl, huh? Do you like boys? But... I already said it, I'm interested in men, or do you want me to be more explicit? Ahhh... Even though I'm a woman too, I really can't understand other women who are supposed to be like me.
Of course, there was no point in clarifying this, but from now on, it's worth clarifying that I'm a woman, although I think I should have done so when I met Mina, M, I'm sorry, it's just that I was surprised to see a boy with a torn cheek and that ornament in his hair, plus he's very short for a boy *smiles* I found him so cute that I couldn't help but look at him as a woman.
『!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Ahhh...I'm starting to understand how you girls think...I stand corrected, I do understand you...』-『The way we think is more superficial than anything else...』
Women understand women, and men understand men. That's why all day at school, she couldn't help but try to see M as if he were a woman. She even gave him the name Mina, even though she knew he was completely masculine. Even though Arami knew this, she still treated him like a cute girl! For some strange reason, that attracts her... it's not just because she thinks weird things too, but because when she talks to him or acts around him, she can't remember ever feeling this way before, noticing those details when the roles are reversed, when you're the one being protected and not the one doing the defending. Dragons are very sensitive as well as tough, a duality they still retain today, and thanks to those little details that a man does that are simple and only momentary for him, when Arami experiences those moments, she can't help but blush a lot and confirm once again that yes, she is also a simple woman like any other.
That's the case with her, now with the issue of her sister, and you can tell they're related. If they didn't say so, anyone would think they were a pair of brothers. Her sister's name is Draco, huh? Even the name? Arami also sounds masculine... but what were her parents thinking when they gave them those names? Couldn't they have thought of something cuter and more feminine so that people could tell them apart from the start? Ahhhh...
Draco will be like Arami, meaning she can act as masculine as she wants, but deep down she's probably the same.
『So you like boys, right, Draco-nee *smiles*』
Draco was getting ready to leave, and that question took him by surprise. He thought the question would be different, but in that case, he just said that.
『When someone with the necessary qualities to be and accept me by my side appears, I don't care who it is. But what I do care about is that... boys... those guys... they make me lose my mind *blushes*.』
With that, Draco left the house to do his thing, and Arami, sprawled out on the couch, was smiling from ear to ear, with only one idea in mind. If Draco likes guys, then he must attract them no matter what!!!!!
And that's how this operation began, which for some reason Draco accepted! And it's him!!!! Make Draco act as feminine as possible so that on a date with a guy!!! And win him over on the first try!!! That's what you have to do in moments like that, and that's why today is practice day!
Draco got together with Dhapi and they're on a date. It seems like they've been friends for a long time, they must be good friends. He didn't tell Dhapi that he's practicing, but of course, initially, it was their idea to see how a real girl acts. because even though they are, it's difficult for them, and then Draco had a great idea: what better way to learn than from a teacher! He quickly contacted Dhapi, who could be more feminine and womanly than Dhampira! He would learn everything from her, how to react, how to talk, how to behave in different situations. He would feed off Dhapi's femininity and thus take a step forward and advance his knowledge of how to be a tender woman! That is the goal, so let's get to it!
『Draco-nee is going on a date with her friend. She will learn everything from her, and I am also here to support her. My cell phone is connected to headphones that Draco-nee is wearing, so we can hear everything and give her instructions if we want to! Although the goal is for him to act like a man and learn from Dhapi, we also don't rule out that there may be moments or events where it would be good for him to react in a very feminine way. We are doing all this because Draco-nee no longer wants to repress that part of herself that has always been there, so now that we've found Mina, you must help me! *excited*』
When he finally gave me the context for why he is here, wait a moment, I want to clarify everything so that there are no misunderstandings. I know Draco wants to explain himself well, but it seems that even he has that peculiarity that especially men don't understand each other when we want to convey an idea. Well... your sister Draco-nee wants to act more like a woman than a man, so I made an appointment with Dhapi, who is a friend of mine and hers, practically an acquaintance. Right... Since Dhapi is the most feminine person they know, they want to use her as a learning tool without telling her anything, to show her how a woman acts on a date with a man... Right... And in addition to that, they have direct communication with the date through your cell phone and tiny headphones, to give instructions if necessary? Right...
I explained it as clearly as possible, and Arami was very happy to have understood, but seriously, now that I understand it, what these guys are doing is stupid, worthy of idiotic men that only we would think of. It even seems that we are more willing to turn anything into fun or a show without realizing it...
『Yes... I think we'd better go, Rachnera, we have to go...』
『How fun and interesting, I want to stay!" "Let me help you, Arami.』
『Really! Great! With a woman with big breasts, her sensuality will surely help us too... sensuality?... *blushes* Ahhh... although I think that would be too much for Draco-nee... *blushes*』
『Don't be so open-mouthed, Arami... *sighs* (Since Rachnera is getting involved in this, she knows very well that it could go wrong, but she wants to see it firsthand, plus she would be manipulating someone...) ... All right, I'll stay too, but I won't help at all, I'll just stay and watch.』
『You're staying, Mina!? Great! Then don't hesitate to help us when you have an idea! *smiles*』
『What part of 'not helping' did you hear?』
It seems that the date had already started without us realizing it. Sorry, it's just that with all this business that came out of nowhere, it really threw me off. We continued to hide in the alley, but now, in order for everyone to hear clearly, Arami increased the volume of the call. At this point, I just hoped and wished that it would end well.
The date was starting at a bakery, one that seems to be very famous and a favorite among dessert connoisseurs. Draco seems to know it very well, as Dhapi commented that he had been meaning to come back here for a long time, and that their Western desserts are the best in town. Draco smiled and commented that
『Do you really like bakeries? Sweets? You're always talking about them, as well as restaurants and such.』
『Yes, I really like them. I mean, who doesn't like sweets? They always manage to sweeten your life, no matter how bitter and hard the day may be. I still don't understand people who don't like sweets. How can they miss out on all this? Ahh!! Hey, hey! Let's order the large one! I want this honey toast!!! It looks so delicious and there's so much of it!!!』
『Okay, then we can share it, or are you going to eat it all by yourself?』
『Hmph! *proudly* I can eat two whole ones!!!』
『You always say that. Fine, then I'll have a black coffee for now.』
『Black coffee? You can really handle the bitterness. I once tried drinking black coffee at home, and my whole body shuddered because it was so bitter. I had to add milk and sugar to be able to finish it *smiles*.』
『*laughs* It's a taste you acquire. So you really like sweets, Dhapi-chan.』
『That's right! Ah!! Hey, hey, I want to tell you something. It seems that at school...』
From the alley where we were standing, Arami was taking notes on his cell phone about things that seemed important to him, writing things like "Women like sweets" and "Women are gluttons."
『*smiles* Yes, I could eat up to five of those honey toast slices too.』
That would be an exaggeration. We kept listening, and it seemed like he was telling her things that were happening at school. This reminded me a lot of Smith, in that Dhapi also likes to talk about personal things.
『And you know what else, Draco? Everything is going well at Kyto's school, yes... But I can't stop thinking about that time. I'd be lying if I told you that I never saw that classmate named Pina as a threat. I was always afraid that if I didn't do something, that girl could take Kyto away from me, with his calm, serene, fragile, and submissive personality... ahhh... Why does she have to have everything I used to be!!! I even know that if she sets her mind to it, she's capable of acting openly, showing another personality and surprising everyone. She's literally what I used to be... And as I suspected, Kyto really likes that type of person. Do you think I haven't noticed that you're getting along really well with her? Listen, Draco, my friends told me, Mari-chan told me that Pina is very attentive to Kyto, that now he talks to her with complete confidence, lends her his books if she forgets hers, they have lunch together, they ask each other for help, don't you think they're moving too fast? It took me a long time to act so close to him! It's not fair!』
All you could hear were complaints after complaints after complaints. Draco only knew that when a woman starts talking about her love life like that, then...
『You don't have to start feeling inferior, Dhapi-chan. You know what a beautiful person you are, and Kyto knows it too. I'm sure that sooner or later, even though he rejected you, he'll think back on that day and realize he did something stupid, and he'll come running to tell you, 'I'm sorry, I chickened out. I like you, Dhapi. *smiles*』
Draco even dramatized what the scene would be like, and when Dhapi saw it, she imagined a boy saying it to her, and she couldn't help but be happy about it and...
『That's right! I haven't lost yet! Besides, Kyto is also more sincere in a good way, and sometimes I feel like he's giving me very direct hints, ahh! Kyto *blushes* You were embarrassed that day, damn this boy, but don't worry, I'm the only one who can put up with you being a little boy *smiles*』
But... but... wasn't that already clear?! It's just that!!!!! Dhapi is going too far, even for a woman!!!!! And Draco!!! What you said didn't help at all!!! In fact, you made it worse, because!!! Ahhh... yes... there she practically acted like what she is. Hearing how unbelievable this scene was, I could only cover my face. I think Dhapi will continue to think she has a chance until she herself is struck by another guy's arrow. Besides, Arami kept writing, and this time she wrote...
『"Women are stubborn." Uhm... I guess so, right? Although I think...』
『Don't delete that, Arami...』
I stopped Arami's hand when I saw that she was about to delete what I think is the most accurate thing she's going to write all day on this subject. The conversation was very calm, but Rachnera seemed annoyed and bothered by something, so she commented that.
『Arami, you said that we would support Draco in acting as needed, right? So whatever we say, he'll do, right?』
『¿?Yes, that's what we agreed on. Draco-nee never goes back on her word once she's given it.』
『Good, then *smiles*』
As Dhapi was talking to Draco, confident that her love had not yet been lost, the honey toast arrived. It was so huge that it seemed to cover Dhapi's face. Draco's black coffee had also arrived, so at that moment. Dhapi was smiling at her dessert, which she was about to start eating, but at that moment she noticed something. Draco had put his elbows on the table, clasped his hands together, and was resting his face on them, while staring intently at Dhapi, who...
『Huh? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Ah! I can finish the toast all by myself!!! And if I can't!!!! I'll ask for it to go and Kyto can eat it!』
『No, I'd rather eat you *smiles*』
This came out of nowhere from Draco, and Rachnera had a playful smile on her face, as if she really meant it! Draco heard a voice he couldn't recognize at the time, telling him to get into that position and tell her he was going to eat her. I guess because Rachnera is a spider and... Well, Draco wasn't going to do it at first, but in the end he understood that...
『(I get it... you want to put him in more embarrassing situations and see how a woman reacts to it, don't worry, I'll take care of it) 』
To what Draco said, he continued to see himself and impose himself as a ladies' man, to which Dhapi was confused, not knowing what to say, her mind went blank, so.
『What are you talking about, Draco? Of course you can't eat me, you're going to start... ah! *laughs* It was so unexpected that I ended up smearing cream on my cheek.』
Dhapi had cream smeared on her cheek. She didn't expect this attitude. She knows that Draco is a ladies' man, but with her it shouldn't be like that. They are good friends after all. She understands that this is his attitude and personality, but in front of her...
Draco reached out and wiped Dhapi's cheek with his finger, in a way that... Draco brought his finger closer again and licked it at the same time...
『No, if I wanted to, I could eat you anytime.』
『Now laugh elegantly and boldly, while combing your bangs back with your hand.』
『Ha Ha Ha Ha.』
Draco also believed in his mind that this was a method that would make any girl blush and become sentimental about what he did. But when Dhapi saw him acting like that... she had a confused look on her face that...
『Ahh... no... no one is going to eat me... (What's wrong with Draco...)』
And she continued eating, but now unsure of what Draco would do next. Draco then stared at Dhapi. It wasn't the reaction he expected; it should have been different. He had done it even more intentionally with other girls, and the ones he remembered always blushed and acted confused by the surprise. He thought that maybe it would be the same with Dhapi, but it seems that's not the case. At least he's glad to have Dhapi's opinion.
『(I see, that attitude doesn't make everyone nervous) 』
Rachnera was laughing because just imagining it, just imagining it! She was poking her head in to look inside the bakery and...
『How funny! Can I continue? 』
『Yes, go ahead. 』
『Okay, then now I'm going to go all out!』
Dhapi felt that if he didn't talk about something now, Draco would surely start acting even stranger. It seemed like he woke up feeling overly confident, the kind that makes you hallucinate different things.
『Draco, I also wanted to tell you that...』
『You don't have to tell me, I already know very well. It has to do with me, right?』
『Huh? Ahh... well, then, I want to ask you if...』
『Just so you know, ever since you came into my life, I'm willing to give up everything to be with you for the rest of my life. You were the one who saved me, you were the one who gave me a home and treated me well, knowing who I am and my past. I'm very grateful to you, Dhapi-chan. If I didn't have any competition, I know I would win, so don't be shy and... you can come and kidnap me and we'll run away together every night!』
He didn't just stay in his seat, he also stood up and gave a speech with a little choreography in the restaurant. This shocked Dhapi even more, she just continued eating her toast and...
『Aren't you going to drink your black coffee? It's getting cold.』
『Yes, thank you very much for letting me know.』
Seeing that there was no reaction, Rachnera seemed to be indignant about this. For some reason, her face made me think she was saying, "How could that not have excited her? Don't you have any dreams to fulfill?" I feel that somehow, even though it sounds stupid, if it had come from Aniki for her, it would have made her happy...
『Enough with the calmness, if you want me to be more abrupt, then I will be!』
『Eh? More abrupt? Rachnera, don't tell me...』
『More abrupt?! Yes!!! Go ahead, please!』
At that moment, Draco quickly began to change slightly. He unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, rolled up his sleeves, messed up his hair a little, and began to strike a very manly pose, the kind that takes up the whole seat. This made Dhapi even more worried, and she knew she had to say something.
『Hey, Draco! Are you okay? You're acting a little strange and...』
He quickly covered Dhapi's mouth at that moment, even raising his wings as if to cover her. Dhapi was scared, and...
『I already told you, Dhapi, that I can eat you at any moment...』
『Now that you have her in front of you and she's not resisting your strength, then!!!!』
『(Eh! Why is he getting closer!!! Ehh... don't tell me...)』
Dhapi knew that Draco was going to remove his hand covering her mouth and...
『Stop!!!!』
M started shouting at that moment, and Draco stopped at the last second. When he realized what was happening, Dhapi grabbed his neck and started squeezing hard. Dhapi quickly gained confidence and didn't stop squeezing, even when M told him to go back to his seat. He realized what he was doing and...
『Now apologize.』
『I'm sorry, Dhapi-chan... I... I was wrong.』
M managed to stop what was about to happen, somehow, and looked at Rachnera, very upset by what she was doing, where she was only confused because that's what she would do. It's good that they're friends, and Dhapi commented that.
『You're acting weird, Draco. Are you feeling okay? You're not yourself.』
Draco didn't know what to say at that moment. For the first time, his hand was shaking. He didn't know what to say, so M, knowing the whole context of the situation, knew the best way out of it.
『Tell her the whole truth, and it'll be over.』
Draco also felt that it was better to be honest from the start, so he went on to tell her what was going on and the purpose of this date. With everything finally cleared up, Dhapi was smiling again and commented that.
『So that's what it was. You should have told me from the start. If you want to be more feminine, I would have helped you from the beginning.』
『*laughs* I'm so sorry for making you uncomfortable. I just thought that all of this would be a good idea in the first place...』
『*smiles* There's a lot to help you with, okay! First things first, you have to dress like one!』
『Eh...?』
Their next stop was a clothing store. Draco had been to many stores, mostly to buy men's clothes, after all.
『I know you really like the type of clothes you wear, they're very light and the styles also influence you, but I know that most of the time you think about how you'd like to dress more femininely, so why haven't you done it, Draco?』
『Besides my tastes, I find men's clothes more comfortable, especially boxers, they're very comfortable... But I remember once when I did wear a skirt and other things, it was in elementary school, and what my classmates said to me that time was that they didn't suit me at all and that I looked strange...』- 『And so that they don't say the same thing to me again and see me that way, I prefer to wear what suits me and who I am.』
『Well, if that's what you decided, you shouldn't have listened to those kids. We can all wear whatever clothes we want, we just have to look for them and, of course, adapt them! Follow me!』
With that, Dhapi dragged Draco to the clothing store to look at lots of clothes. He had brought up the subject before and often offered to let Draco try on women's clothes, but Draco always refused, never saying why, except that men's clothes fit him better. But now he understands why. When Dhapi asked him why he had short hair, which was more of a masculine style, Draco replied that there was a time when he was little and had long hair, but it was cut for the start of his first school year. He really liked that style, but from then on, people began to see her more as a boy than a girl, and accompanied by the skirted clothing, it became clear that being like a boy suited her better visually. This had such an influence that even today she has behaved more like a boy than a girl, so as not to be criticized in the same way again.
『How I would love to see you with long hair!!! That also defines a woman a lot, which is why we value it so much! Although that can be fixed elsewhere, okay!!!! Did you say skirt? But it's true that the masculine style suits you very well...ah!!! I've got it!!!! Then!!!!』
As if she had a good eye for clothes, knowing her friend for a long time, she quickly picked out one piece of clothing after another and went with her to the dressing room, as if they had now reversed positions. Dhapi was confidently taking off Draco's clothes, and you could even hear little moans of tenderness. At that moment, Draco felt like she was being assaulted. And when Dhapi finally came out after doing a good job.
『Ready, Draco! You can come out!』
Embarrassed and shy, Draco came out of the dressing room, pulling aside the curtains, and Dhapi couldn't believe what he was seeing: a short skirt that looked like shorts! It showed off Draco's slender legs, and even the scales on them looked attractive. On top, she wore a combination of a white blouse and a vest, not the classic and typical kind, but a sleeveless one that highlighted her curves, with a belt in the middle that helped show off her hips.
When Dhapi saw this, she thought it was too cute and couldn't help but comment...
『If we were alone, I would eat you, Draco.』
『Don't talk nonsense, Dhapi-chan!!! Ahh...*blush* This... this... is too much.』
Draco was wiggling her tail back and forth, and in the end, she wanted to cover her legs, so she used her wings to cover her bare arms. It was cute to see her wanting to protect herself from the stares of others. Dhapi told her to look in the mirror, but Draco was afraid to do so at that moment. She had avoided it before when she was ready, but...
『No!!! I can't!!! I'm sure I look horrible...*blush*』
『You look very pretty!!!! Really!!! Ahh...if you think you're still not feminine enough, then...Now for my other resource!!! We have to go to the stylist!!!』
Now Dhapi was taking Draco to the nearby stylist, where she quickly entered like lightning, sat Draco down in the chair, and, already knowing the owner of the place, simply explained the situation.
『This is the friend I was telling you about, the one who acts tough but is softer than butter! I finally got her dressed like this, but she still doesn't feel confident looking completely feminine, so my Queen, I leave it in your hands! *smiles*』
『Yes, I was also waiting for this day, Dhapi.』
Draco was nervous and didn't know what to do. All she wanted was to get up from the chair, but... Boom! They quickly stopped her from leaving, and she suddenly felt a strong, sinister aura behind her. The dark shadow vanished, and all she could see was a very well-groomed and well-dressed lady who said,
『Draco, leave it to me. I will bring out the beautiful woman you are in every way!』
『Ahh...no...I just...I'm happy just being a woman...*smiles*』
『Darling, in this world, it's not enough to be a woman. To rise up and be at the top of everything, you have to exceed your limits! Highlight your talents!!! Don't fall for the hateful comments!!! You are beautiful!!! I know it, Dhapi knows it, we all know it!!!! But the only one who doesn't realize it is you!!!!!! You've exploited your masculine side for a long time, but you can't escape what you really want, dear.』 -『So when I'm done with this, I want you to look in the mirror and say to yourself how beautiful you are!!!!!』
With that, the stylist got to work, taking out her makeup kit and applying it with the utmost precision. It looked like she was in the middle of an operation, even putting creams all over her face and using devices we've never even heard of! What's with using lasers in a hair salon? We understand washing hair, but... what?! Now they're bringing out other machines that should be in a laboratory! What? Hey, lady! When I said this looked like an operation, I didn't mean it literally!
As a final touch, they had prepared a long wig in the same color as Draco's hair, and once it was on, he was ready. When they told Draco he could look in the mirror, the owner had a look of satisfaction on her face, as if she knew she had done a good job, while Dhapi couldn't wipe the smile off his face as he held his hands together and...
Afraid of seeing how he had ended up, Draco did it anyway, expecting a horrible result, or so his mind told him. But when he finally opened his eyes, what he saw in the mirror was... a beautiful woman he had never seen before in his life. The makeup was not excessive, respecting her natural features, even revealing her scales. Her long hair was straight and styled in a special way, and her eyes, which were mostly small, perhaps thanks to the makeup, made her look bigger. But the owner just said.
『I only made small adjustments. Having you finally in front of me, I realized that you have very good feminine features, but because of the attitude you take, you force your body to be that of a man, and that matters a lot. As long as you want to look like a woman, that's often enough. By being like us, your body also gives off those signals.』
『You're so pretty, Draco!!! AHH!!! I'm so jealous. I wish I were a man so I could try to win you over.』
Draco couldn't believe what she was looking at in front of her, and... she was smiling because she looked like herself. She never thought she could look like this, reach this point of looking like this, and that's even though she used to have a very strong aversion to humans, especially men, because she thought they were inferior and that everything about them was horrible, but she reached this point of even looking like this. Perhaps... this reminded her of a time when she met a human, where due to various events, she confused things and found out that she was a woman because of an act that...
『...Can you take off my wig? I want... I want to be with my natural hair *smiles*』
The owner listened to her, took off her wig, and fixed her short hair, which luckily isn't that short, it's just that the hairstyle she wears makes it look that way. With bangs that are long enough, a side-swept hairstyle. And above all, a simple hair clip. Now they were done, and when Draco looked in the mirror, she was very embarrassed but with a big smile that...
『I like it better this way *smiles*』
They both left the stylist's very happy, where Dhapi couldn't help teasing her that now she has to be careful, that now it will be the men who will seek her out and try to court her.
『If that happens, I'll just have to be serious. It will be very difficult, no, impossible, now that they know what I'm capable of. Now the bar is set high for anyone who wants to be by my side. I'm climbing to a higher level.』
『*laughs* That's what they say, but in the end, they always end up with the one who makes them feel a thousand and one emotions, eh? By the way, I'm giving you back your earpiece. While the owner was fixing you up, she found it and took it out so it wouldn't bother you.』
Draco looked at the earpiece. Seeing it and holding it in her hand, she only thought that she had made a stupid decision in doing that. So he just put it in his pocket and...
『(By the way, who were those two voices I heard? Wasn't Arami going to support me?)』
Of course, our three friends weren't far behind, secretly following in our footsteps. They were also aware of Draco's situation, where Arami was very happy, so happy that she was shedding tears.
『I'm so happy, Draco-nee, that you're finally showing yourself as you are! I knew it, yes, yes! It makes you very happy! *sad*』
『And you, Arami, when are we going to do the same for you?』
『For me? No way, I look very ugly, you wouldn't want to see me that way.』
『Well, who knows, but just looking at you now, you would look prettier than you already are.』
Hearing those words, she could only repeat over and over again the last words M said to Arami, who this time somehow seemed to be smoking from her head. She became so nervous that she quickly hunched over.
『Well... maybe I'll try it too... *red*』
Rachnera stared at this, she had already given instructions before with her cell phone, but nothing responded. At this point, she realized that her fun was over. She may have looked bad here, but she did it with a simple thought, that somehow it would be attractive to her to be told that, especially if Aniki said it, eh? Did I already say that? Well, I'll say it again.
『Hey, Rachnera... all that stuff you were saying on your cell phone, it was some kind of mirror of yourself, right? You'd actually like Aniki to say all those corny and embarrassing things to you, wouldn't you?』
『All that stupid stuff I said, yes, I'd like my Dear to say it to me.』
『What do you want me to say, Rachnera?』
!!!!!!!!!!! This took us by surprise, so we turned to see who it was, and as we suspected, it was Aniki, who was with Miia and Papi. They had appeared, and you could tell they had a lot of packages in their hands.
『Ahh!!! Rachnera, M-nii-chan, and...!!!! Who are you?』
Just listening to Papi made me feel like we were back to normal. Miia asked what we were doing here, since Rachnera was supposed to take me back home. Seeing how Rachnera responded rudely to Miia, I knew a silly argument was about to start.
『What have you been doing? Otouto, Rachnera』 - 『Did you go for a walk together? Did you meet a friend on the way?』
『Yes, her name is Arami, she's a Dragon kind.』
When we introduced Arami to them, it seemed that as soon as Aniki saw her, he remembered someone he already knew, but he put that aside. They had come here to get the last thing they needed for Papi's first day of school, which was his uniform. Looking around, we noticed that they sold clothes here, so this must be a place related to that school. They went inside while Miia commented that once they were done, it would be best for everyone to go home together.
『By the way, what did you want to tell me, Rachnera?』
Aniki asked this before entering the store, and Rachnera became nervous, not knowing what to say at that moment. It's funny, because it's rare to see her get nervous, although of course, anyone would feel embarrassed and ashamed if they had to tell her everything we had witnessed. Aniki was waiting for this, while Miia called him to enter the clothing store.
『Well, you can tell me later.』
『Rachnera! What do you want to say to my husband? Tell me, tell me! Ahh! I'm sure it's something dirty, and that's why you don't want to say it!』
Just then, Papi seemed to want to know the answer, and Miia also called him to come into the store, as they needed him to be there too. Papi turned to me and said that he wished I had also gone to school with Arami.
『I remember who you are now. I hope we get along well at school *smiles*.』
And with that little bit of information, Arami found out that I had the opportunity to go to school and be with her, but I ended up rejecting it, listening to her complaints and her reasons. She was really throwing everything at me, it was like reading her messages but in real life. Eh? Is that right?
『We could have been classmates!!! Bad, bad, bad!!! Stupid, stupid, stupid!!!』
『How annoying...』
At this point, I looked at Rachnera, who was nervous. It was because of what Aniki said to her. Now she can't escape this. She knows that she can let Aniki off the hook, but she also knows that she won't be able to shake her doubts and ends up talking to him about it. At that moment, I got hit by Arami, which... ouch... hey, that hurts, are you hitting me slowly? I was about to defend myself, but then we heard...
『Yes, I was just saying that you might be nearby. Hello, little skeleton ah! little spider and Arami-chan are here too!!! You're here too!!! And I'd better tell you right now, if you ever think an idea is good again, think twice *smiles* That goes for you too, Draco.』
Dhapi and Draco had come closer, sensing that something was going on here, so they backed away, and Dhapi was right. It seems that most of the people here are strangers, although Dhapi's presence makes it more enjoyable and makes us all feel like friends. Arami was very excited about this and kept saying to her sister,
『You look so pretty, Draco-nee!!! Let me take some pictures of you!!!』
『*sighs* Okay, but don't show them to anyone else.』
『What a great idea, Arami-chan!! I have to keep this as a souvenir. Today, Draco was able to dress like a girl, but tomorrow, who knows? He'll surely go back to his routine of dressing and acting like a man, so!!! I'm going to frame the photo and keep it in my room as one of my greatest treasures!!!』
『Yes!! I'll do the same!!!』
『You guys... you're really exaggerating.』
At that, Draco looked over at us. Of course, we had nothing to do with it. We didn't know him. But when Draco looked at me, he remembered that Arami was always talking about a certain M, a certain Mina, a boy who was her new friend and who would support her in everything, and above all else.
『Hey, M, right? I want you to stop worrying my sister. She wouldn't stop talking about you, about the thousands of messages she sent you and you didn't reply to. When she's worried about something, she can't get it out of her head. She's that sensitive. To avoid alarming her further, from now on I want you to be more direct with her and communicate more, okay?』
Huh? Draco is giving me a dirty look, huh? Does he think I've made his sister suffer? Huh? ...No...I mean...maybe Arami exaggerated and...ahh...
『Yes...I'll be more attentive to Arami.』
『If that's the case, then there's no problem. I don't want any thug to make my sister suffer, especially if it's a man. She's not very direct about her feelings, so it's strange for her to talk and worry more than usual about someone. Arami, do you like this guy?』
Draco said this without hesitation, but when he said it, I thought it was out of place because I didn't see it that way or feel it that way. I mean, I didn't have that much communication with her. We weren't even more than friends. Arami must understand that...
At this, Arami was very red at that moment, quickly glancing at me out of the corner of her eye and quickly looking away again to hide. All of this brought back memories that I didn't pay much attention to, all those times she blushed...
『Really, Arami? But not even...』
I was confused because I didn't want to confirm that it was true, I mean... you can't fall in love with someone just because of that! I mean!!!!! Don't mess with me!!! What about our progress!!! And our communication!!! What about our years of friendship!!! Thousands of options ran through my head, but Arami just turned to look at me, smiling and blushing, and said.
『I don't know, I just don't feel this way about anyone else, you would be the first *smiles*』
『Really...?』
...No... I didn't do anything!!! Why!!!! Hey!!! I didn't do anything!! This came out of nowhere!! Just because I said those things to you!!! Just because I acted a little differently with you!! I mean!!! It can't be the only time someone has treated you like this!!! It's impossible!!! It can't be!!! Ahhhh....Ahhhh..... She had to be a young woman, no...a girl, to believe that what she feels is love, and for me of all people...ahh...
『Listen, Arami, I...』
『Wait a minute, M, don't say it yet. When you have your answer more clearly defined, I want you to tell my sister. You don't know her yet, and maybe with time you will. I'm also doing this for Arami. As Dragon Kind, we always keep our word. Where we set our sights, we set our claws. I don't know what Arami saw in you, but... when she's ready, I want you to give her your answer.』
Draco stepped forward to defend his sister. What's up with these dragons? When they said they were very sensitive, I don't think I realized how sensitive they would be. I looked over at Arami, who was just smiling, and I just accepted what Draco said to me. What is this? I feel like they're committing me to something very serious. And by the way, Draco took his sister's head and said.
『By the way, Arami is a woman, just like me.』
『Yes, I knew that from the first day I met her.』
Huh? Why did he have to confirm that? Should I do the same? But wait, is it to avoid misunderstandings? Then Arami said to me...
『You're a man, right? You like women, right?』
『Ahh... wait... you mean you thought I... well, at first I also thought you... ahhh... yes... My name is Kurusu M, I'm a human, a man, and I like women, okay?』
How strange to have to clarify this, even to annoy me, Dhapi said...
『Are you really a man? *laughs*』
『Do you want me to prove it to you some other way or what?』
『A man? I don't think so, more like a kid *laughs*』
『You two are very funny...』
Dhapi knew very well what she was going to say, Rachnera also wants to continue having fun, so for the sake of everyone, I decide it's better to stay here quietly. This cleared up Draco's doubts, but when he said the surname Kurusu.
『Kurusu?』
At this point, they had finally finished shopping, and Aniki, along with Miia and Papi, came out of the store, where we all met. Seeing that we were all together, he now said that we were all going home together...
『Ah! Hello, Draco, it's so good to see you again.』
『Draco? Where, where??!! Eh?? You mean this beautiful woman? Ah! That's right!! You look beautiful, Draco, very different from the last time we saw you!!』
Both Aniki and Miia had known Draco for a long time, and they had a little incident where Draco had a somewhat peculiar image of Aniki. Draco quickly jumped back, raising his wings to intimidate and showing his claws. Eh? He seems upset.
『You!!! Miia!!! What are you doing here!!! Could it be!!!!*scared* Could it be that you've come for me, knowing that I'm more vulnerable now??!!!!』
『Eh? No, we were just passing by, it was a coincidence that we ran into each other, but now that I see you again, I want to-------』
『Stay away, Arami!!! This guy and everything around him is pure lust!!!!!!! It's not enough for him to have a woman by his side, it's not enough for him to have the beautiful Miia!!! I've also found out that he lives with a harem of Species!!!! This guy is a total lowlife!!! Do Arachne and Harpy belong to your harem?!! And this child has your last name, he doesn't have any Species traits, you've done it with humans too!!! Who is he!!! You must have had your child with that woman named Smith!!!!!』
『『What did you say? *annoyed*』』
Miia and Rachnera were so angry that they had talked about Smith that Draco quickly sensed the threatening aura emanating from his companions. I don't understand why Draco became defensive, and Arami didn't understand this either, so before she could ask, he picked up his sister and flew above us.
『I take back what I said! Getting together with the Kurusus will only taint us with how horrible and disgusting humans are!!!!! I can't forgive you!!! I can't.... That day... you humiliated me to a degree I can't even describe!!!! *red*』
『Ahh... I'm sorry, it's my fault. If I had known you were a woman, I would have taken different actions.』
『If you had known I was a woman?!! What would you have done to me besides taking off my shirt and seeing my... *red* Would you have... *scared* Unforgivable... I knew it... Human lust is rotten!!!!!!』
At this, we all looked at Aniki, who was just trying to defend himself, saying that's not what he did, or well, yes, that's what he did. Then Miia chimed in, saying it was just an accident and that...
『Draco, don't make a scene. No one even saw your breasts, just your lingerie. Stop complaining.』
『Why are you taking it so lightly!!! Wouldn't you be upset if a stranger opened your shirt!!!』
『If it's my sweetheart, of course I wouldn't mind *blush*』
『I said stranger!!!!』 - 『There's no help for it, being around them is dangerous, let's get out of here!!!』
At this, Draco quickly took flight and was ready to leave. But Aniki really didn't want it to end this way, so he managed to stop her by shouting at her to wait. Surprisingly, Draco stopped but turned her back on him.
『I'm really sorry! I know that affected you a lot, and it was my fault for not realizing you were a woman!! Because of me, you still hate humans!! I know that even if I apologize, it's useless if the person affected doesn't accept it, and besides, the damage is done!! I'm so sorry!!!』
『You're right, even if you apologized for a thousand years, I would never forgive you. That's how great the pride of dragons is. I just wanted to be friends with Miia that day... *tsk*』
『My friend? Well, it's been a while, but if you want, Draco, we can be friends if you wish *smiles*』
『What?...』
『Yes, I also want to improve my relationship with you, Draco, and I couldn't tell you at the time, and now that I see you again...』
『...』
『You're a very strong girl, and I think that's beautiful.』
This resonated in Draco's head. The fact that Kimihito had called Draco beautiful made her want to... Quickly, there was no time to react. As fast as possible, Draco flew away from the place, his face reflecting shame at that moment.
This left us all alone and confused, with Aniki worried about whether he had made the most of this opportunity to see Draco again. It was too late, it was better to go home for lunch, and with that we ended the day, because really, it was already past lunchtime!!!!!! This took so long! I'm hungry! And on top of that, we forgot to cook the rice! Ahh! Quick, call home and ask someone to cook the...
『....No one in the house... knows how to cook...』 -『Oh no, we have Lala, we're saved』
