Trip Show 1

Tomoya: Morning.

Hajime: Oh, good morning ♪

Tomoya... Tomoya-kun?!

...... (rubs his eyes)

...... (thinking)

Ehehe. You’re really sporting some high fashion today... ♪

Tomoya: Shut up! Why are you being so weirdly nice about this?! C’mon, lay into me! Like, “why’re you dressed like a girl?” or something!

Hajime: Ahaha... But you’re always wearing unusual clothing because you’re in the drama club, Tomoya-kun. It’s a pretty typical sight to see at this point, so I’ve gotten used to it ♪

And when we’re working as Ra*bits, we usually end up in cute clothes, too.

Tomoya: No, you’re supposed to say something when you see something weird!

When I’m doing stuff for the drama club, I stop being able to tell what’s normal and what’s not!

Tetora: Heyyy, I heard some shouting over here. What’s all the commotion?

Midori: Please don’t fight... It stresses me out just watching it...

Tomoya: No, we’re not fighting. Sorry for taking it out on you, Hajime.

Hajime: It’s fine~ I’ve gotten a lot stronger, myself, so I can take just about anything you dish out ♪

Tomoya: Urgh. Thanks. Because you exist, I can find it in me to fight off hopelessness and keep going... ♪

Hajime: Ehehe, you’re exaggerating, Tomoya-kun~ ♪

Oh, but anyway... good morning, you two ♪

Midori: Yeah, morning... huh? Did I fall asleep and end up at an all-girl’s school...?

Tetora: You’re wearing something hilarious again, Tomoya-kun. What’s up with that? Got a hobby we don’t know about?

Midori: Oh, that’s Mashiro-kun... What’s wrong? Something bothering you...?

Tomoya: Hang on, if you treat it so seriously I don’t even know how to respond...

Whoa?!

Hinata: Gooood mornin’, Tomo-kun! What’s up with you? Playing princess?

Did you have so much fun helping out at the Chinese restaurant that you got into cosplay?^[1]

Well, now I’ve gotta rise to the challenge. Wait just a sec, I’m gonna go change ♪

Tomoya: Hang on, when did this become a competition...? Uh, and can you let go of me? Seriously, Hinata.

This is a stage costume, so I can’t tear it. And it really sucks trying to wash it.

Hajime: Ohh, it does look really hard to wash something so ornate. But it has great material! So satiny smooth... ♪

Tomoya: Hey, cut it out, Hajime. You’re pulling up my skirt.

Hinata: Ohoho, I see men’s underwear down there. Didn’t even commit to the bit... what an amateur.

Hajime: Here, you’re still missing the finishing touch. Your hair is done up really pretty, but your makeup is kind of a mess.

Tomoya: Wh–why are you scolding me for that?! I’m the victim here!

I thought my classmates would have some pity and go easy on me at least!

Com on! I can’t take this anymore, I’m going home!

Tetora: Whoa, where are you going? Homeroom’s just about to start, Princess Mashiro~

Tomoya: Don’t call me thaaaaat!

Gyeh?!

Hajime: He tripped?! A–are you okay... fair lady?

Hinata: Are you okay, Princess? You’re not used to wearing such long skirts, so you have to be careful.

Tomoya: Not a princess, I’m not a princess... oh my god, I wanna die...

Midori: I get you.

Tetora: I don’t get it at all...

Uhh, well sorry for picking on you, Tomoya-kun. I’ll stop, so you wanna explain what’s going on?

I’ll try to help you.

Tomoya: Gh. Thanks, Tetora. You’re my only ally... ♪

Tetora: It’s more like—well not voluntarily, but I’m an ally of justice, or something like that. ...So I guess if you’re in some kinda trouble, I should probably help with that.

Tomoya: You’re the best… ♪

Tetora: So I figure it was your senpai in the drama club again, right? He forced you to crossdress? I’ll go to the third years’ classroom and give ‘im a piece of my mind!

Tomoya: Wait, don’t get all macho about this! If we strike first, I’m gonna lose!

That Masked Pervert is freakishly good at arranging these sorts of things, so he’s totally ruined my escape plan!

He got the student council president to put on paper that crossdressing is part of the drama club’s training... or something along those lines.

And on top of that, for whatever reason he’s even working with my family to hide my uniform.

He’s already got my family under his thumb. If I go against him, who knows what’ll happen to my sister?

Nooooo, don’t you dare lay a hand on my familyyyyy!!!

Hajime: P–please calm down, Tomoya-kun! It’s okay, you’re really cute!

Tomoya: How’s that supposed to make me feel better?! I didn’t come to Yumenosaki to dress up like a girl! You should know that, Hajime...!
