Chapter 33 Part 3
Makeup, huh… Hmm? By any chance…
Yuu had heard that ever since he was a child, Rei often dressed up as a girl, and would sometimes cross-dress when he went out with his family.
There was another small photo at the back of the two photo frames, depicting two girls of elementary school age.
The two looked so much alike that Yuu thought they were twins, but the one with short hair, about as long as bobbed hair, and slightly taller stature was probably Rei.
I see, in a bit, he’s going to show up while cross-dressing, isn’t he? And Satomi-chan, who was done after wearing makeup only, came in first.
Yuu had connected the dots. As expected, Rei must be finding it embarrassing to cross-dress in front of his friend.
What kind of reaction should he make?
Yuu ended up being at a loss as he had never had a friend who had a habit of dressing in female clothing, but he guessed it should be alright to just tell him that he looked good in it.
For the time being, he spoke to her, who was sitting on the other side of the table as before.
「Will your big brother come in after this?」
Reacting with a jerk at those words of his, she looked at Yuu, who was sitting on the bed, with upturned eyes.
Even though she was two years younger than him, she exuded some peculiar sexiness, which made his heart jump for a bit.
For some reason, instead of opening her mouth, she nodded her head in response.
「Ah, I had taken the liberty to take a look at the photos and stuff. Your mother is young and beautiful, but your father is no less good-looking either, isn’t he?」
Yuu said so while looking at the photos, so he was inwardly surprised when he saw that before he knew it, she was already right next to him.
Approaching him without making any sound, she sat down on the bed a little distance away from Yuu.
However, she was refusing to make eye contact with him, and had been playing with the hem of her skirt since a while ago.
The legs stretching from her laps were slender, and the tips of her bare feet were painted with pink pedicure, the same color as her ribbon.
「Wh, what’s wrong?」
She remained silent as usual.
But then she put her hand on the bed and closed the distance between them.
Perhaps she had put on some cologne, as a very nice smell gently wafted over and tickled Yuu’s nostrils.
She had been hanging her head, but as soon as her long eyelashes shook a little, she suddenly lifted her head and looked at Yuu with her round eyes.
That gesture of hers was unexpectedly sexy, and his heart suddenly started to race.
Perhaps due to her wearing some makeup, she almost made him fall into a strange feeling, unthinkable from someone younger than him.
Getting into a relationship with your friend’s little sister when you come to play at his house; that’s fine and dandy if this is an eroge, but you see!
Thinking that Rei would come back at any given moment, he had no choice but to suppress those feelings.
As the two of them looked at each other and were about to get into a strange mood, the door suddenly opened and he thought his heart was going to stop.
「Tada! How was it, big brother?!」
「Huh?」
Next to him and at the opened door, there were two Satomi who were dressed exactly in the same manner.
Yuu fell into confusion.
◇ ◇ ◇
「Is this for real?! I couldn’t tell at all!」
「I’m sorry. I thought that, as expected, you would be able to tell if I came closer, though.」
「I was a little nervous because you showed no sign of finding out at all, you know?」
The two, who were dressed in exact same outfits, were standing side by side.
Rei must be wearing a wig.
Although his voice was on the higher side among the boys, as someone who had gone through voice change, Rei’s voice was certainly lower than Satomi’s, so Yuu might be able to tell if he spoke even a little.
The reason why Yuu was currently despairing on the ground was not only because he failed to notice that the first person to enter the room was the cross-dressing Rei, but even more than that, it was because he was shocked by the fact that his heart had ended up skipping due to such Rei.
In the 21st century, the term 『femboy』 was well-known on the Internet, and Yuu more or less understood it, too.
Nonetheless, that didn’t mean he had a taste for such things.
No matter how girly he looked, there was no way he could accept the fact that his heart had ended up skipping due to a guy.
He was trying his best to suppress the part of him that wanted to scream, 「How dare you trick me!」
「Hey, hey, Yuu-san, you’re not the same type as big brother, but you’re good-looking, too, right? You don’t have a thick beard either, so what do you say about putting on some makeup?」
「Nmm. You’re right. If Yuu-kun cross-dresses, I think he would look like a mature older sister.」
「Huh, hold on a sec.」
「We’re already at it anyway, so let’s give it a try?」
「It’s okay even if it’s your first time. Since we’ll make sure to make you look beautiful.」
As the two look alike siblings looked at him with sparkling gazes, Yuu flinched.
◇ ◇ ◇
「This is… me?」
Yuu was stunned when he looked at his own face on the hand mirror handed to him.
「With this, you won’t feel ill at ease when you go outside, right?」
「As expected of you, Yuu-kun, you’re so beautiful!」
Slightly strong eye shadow. A tinge of crimson on the cheeks, and bright red rouge on the lips.
Chosen from a number of wigs was the wavy, long black hair one.
Reflected in the mirror was an exotic beauty who looked like a younger version of his mother Martina.
Having been forced to change his clothes as well, he was wearing a bright red dress that looked like something out of the opera 『Carmen』.
His crotch felt breezy, so he couldn’t calm down.
With just a wig, he still had the okama vibe on him, but with makeup on, it turned into a splendid transformation.
As the siblings said, Yuu also thought that from appearances alone, others probably wouldn’t be able to find out that he was a man.
「Mom!」
「Oh my, what is it~?」
「Huh?! W, wait!」
Called by Satomi, their mother showed up.
When an unfamiliar woman suddenly appeared in her son’s room, getting surprised was not the end of it. Especially in this world.
「My word! Who in the world are you?! Wh, where did you come from… we have to quickly call the police, or rather, the security personnel!」
「M, Mom! Wait!」
「It, it’s Yuu-kun!」
When the face of their gentle mother was suddenly about to turn into Hannya, Rei and Satomi hurriedly stopped her; such a skit played.
「My of my, my oh my. Is that so? Is that so? True enough, Yuu-kun is also a good-looking boy, after all. Mommy completely her head… Sorry for showing you such an embarrassing part of me.」
「Not at all, I mean, I understand exactly how you feel.」
He sympathized with her as fellow people who had been tricked.
「That’s right! I have a good idea! Next time we go out, how about you come with us while dressing up like that, Yuu-kun?」
She clapped her hands and showed a radiant smile on her face.
「Sounds like a good idea!」
「Yes. I would love to go out and play with Yuu-kun.」
All of you are on that side, huh; Yuu was crestfallen.
This occasion aside, he didn’t have a taste for going out while dressing up as a woman.
But then a thought occurred to him.
In this world, boys never walked alone.
Except for when they commuted to school, they were always accompanied by security personnel.
However, if he cross-dressed, wouldn’t he be able to go out freely by himself?
natural selection led to an increased ability of the men to look like girl to escape predators
