Chapter 283: Something's Not Right, Everyone's Not Right
After enduring various struggles and unwillingness at first, Kitamura Yusaku and Takasu Ryuji finally accepted reality and began to seriously look at Ishigami Yuu's photos.
Stroking his chin, Kitamura Yusaku analyzed, "I didn't notice before, but I didn't expect Ishigami-kun to look quite convincing in women's clothing."
Takasu Ryuji also nodded in agreement: "Exactly, especially with half his face covered, you really wouldn't recognize him if you weren't paying attention."
"Mm-hmm, especially this last one, his shy expression is really interesting."
You two, something's not right.
However, no matter how "not right" it was, they were ultimately just a few cross-dressing photos. They weren't enough to cause a drastic emotional fluctuation in them. Once they finished looking, it was over. At the same time, the class bell rang, and it was time for class again.
After the afternoon classes, it was time to go to the Art Club for club activities.
But speaking of club activities, Kaede felt that he and Eriri hadn't painted with everyone for a long time. Although no one cared, and even the president was always sleeping, wasn't this not so good?
Hmm... Kaede thought about it. He had also been busy at home last night for a while, and Eriri hadn't played games. How about for today's club activity, they paint with everyone for a change?
With this thought, Kaede tidied his school bag, said goodbye to Takasu and Kitamura, left the classroom, and went to Class A.
Usami had already packed her things and was waiting for Eriri.
Waiting, Usami saw Kaede waving at the classroom door and immediately told Eriri, "Eriri, Asakura-kun is here."
"I see him!"
Eriri responded, smiled at Kaede at the door, then quickly stuffed the remaining two books into her school bag, and then left the classroom with Usami. The three went to the club together.
On the way, Kaede told Eriri, "Ishigami-kun messaged me earlier. That guy seems to have evolved, and he said we can show the stuff to everyone; he doesn't object at all."
"Eh? Really?"
Eriri's reaction was exactly the same as Kaede's when he first saw the message, very surprised: "I thought he would resist a bit."
Usami listened to their cryptic conversation, only knowing that it seemed to be related to Ishigami Yuu, so she asked, "What are you two... talking about?"
Eriri looked at her good friend and said with a smile, "Hehe, don't rush. I'll show you when we get to the club. The president and Uchimaki-kun are there too."
Upon arriving at the Art Club, Uchimaki Subaru and the president also learned about this matter. Under the combined curiosity of the three and Eriri's suppressed laughter, Kaede opened the photos and displayed them to the three.
"..."
"..."
Uchimaki Subaru and the president, as expected, instantly had their hearts stop.
But Usami was completely different, her eyes shining as she clapped her hands and said, "Wow!!! Isn't this Ishigami-kun? Why is he wearing a Shuchiin girl's uniform? It looks really good!"
It has to be said, she was indeed Eriri's good friend. Although she wasn't an otaku, her initial reaction upon seeing these was basically no different from Eriri's.
Indeed, is this how girls react when they see photos of boys cross-dressing? Are their emotions generally happier?
Then Kaede's phone was taken by Eriri, and she and Usami started discussing it.
"Hmm, I don't think this is enough. It would be even better if we could add over-the-knee socks."
"Oh, right! I didn't expect Mizuki to be so imaginative; I didn't even think of that." Eriri's eyes lit up after hearing Usami's words, "I have another idea now, I just hope it won't cause too much trauma to Ishigami-kun, hehe."
With a slight mischievous smile, Eriri went to her seat, opened her laptop, and uploaded a full-body photo of Ishigami-kun in women's clothing to the computer.
Immediately after, everyone saw Eriri start using Photoshop to tinker with Ishigami Yuu's photo, and the focus of her work was on Ishigami Yuu's legs, which were only wearing short socks.
While editing, Eriri also said, "Hehe, I bet Ishigami-kun himself wouldn't dare to look at this photo once it's edited and sent back!"
Hearing Eriri say this, everyone stopped what they were doing. Even the president got off the sofa he was merged with and came over to watch the fun.
Although Eriri wasn't particularly skilled at photo editing, she could easily edit photos without special requirements. She finished in a few minutes.
"Hehe, add a bit of translucent effect here~~~ Done! Export it and send it to Ishigami-kun. Kaede-kun, can you get real-time updates on Ishigami-kun's emotional changes?"
"I feel like you're making things difficult for me."
Kaede smiled, took out his phone, and said, "I'll send a message to Senior Shirogane. You send the photo to me, and I'll have Senior Shirogane show it to Ishigami-kun."
"Understood~~~"
After sending the photo to Kaede, Kaede then forwarded it to Shirogane Miyuki.
Shirogane Miyuki, on the other side, had already finished today's sports festival activities and was resting during his rare free time. Suddenly, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was the photo he had sent to Kaede. Why?
The next second, Shirogane Miyuki noticed something was wrong.
It turned out that although Ishigami Yuu was still wearing the girls' school uniform, the hem of the skirt had been raised a bit by Eriri's editing, and black translucent stockings had been Photoshopped onto his legs. His face shape had also been slightly softened.
It had to be said, it shocked Shirogane Miyuki.
Besides the photo, Shirogane Miyuki also saw Kaede's message.
[Senior, Eriri thinks Ishigami-kun's cross-dressing isn't refined enough, so she modified the photo's effect. Remember to show it to Ishigami-kun and ask for his thoughts. Also, we're all really looking forward to his next fully prepared cross-dressing; it's sure to look great.]
Shirogane Miyuki gasped, and at the same time, that mischievous streak in him involuntarily emerged. He immediately took out his phone and walked towards Ishigami-kun, who was not far away.
Ishigami-kun had already changed out of his clothes and was sitting there with a rather empty feeling, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Ishigami-kun, spacing out?"
Hearing Shirogane Miyuki's voice, Ishigami Yuu turned his head and said, "Ah, President, the event just ended, and I don't know what to do for a moment. Is there anything you need me to do?"
"No, you've worked hard today. Take a rest first. I came over to show you something that might liven up your mood."
With that, he brought his phone in front of Ishigami Yuu.
Ishigami Yuu looked, paused for three seconds, then his pupils constricted, but he still asked, unwilling to give up, "...Who?"
