The Case Where I Got into an All Girls-only Party via Cross-Dressing. But When They Found Out About it, Instead of Getting Immediately Kicked Out, Everyone Was Trying to Seduce Me.

Chapter 4

After the Yuri hug incident involving the girls, which I somehow endured… Their scent was nice, they were soft. I wonder what would’ve happened if Mea wasn’t there (sorry). I feel like Mea noticed their rude gaze, and as our eyes met. It was like encountering a monster in a dark place.

Let’s stop this talk now. My life might be in danger.

Everyone was nearing the end of their meal, gradually becoming satisfied and speaking less. Eating quietly without awkwardness. I kind of like this ambience.

As I calmly sipped my orange juice, Elise finished her meal and stabbed her fork into the shared salad. She is eating a lot. Isn’t she already eating more than me?

I looked surprised and turned towards Elise, but she didn’t seem to notice anything. Generally, I heard that girls eating a lot isn’t a good sign.

[TL: not limited to girls though, it’s prolly a normal physiological reaction which tends to either shift our worries into food or into ecchi.]

As soon as our eyes met, Elise, as if remembering something, smiled and raised her beautiful white index finger to speak.

“Ah, right! What happened to the idea of establishing the base of operations for the Pure White Pigeon, aka our headquarters?”

Uwaa… Was there such a discussion going on? I try to activate my brain, which was drifting in with the calm atmosphere. If I don’t focus seriously on the conversation, my life might be at risk. If we end up living together, the chances of me being exposed as a guy will skyrocket. That’s something I need to avoid at all costs.

As I was thinking that, Mirai raised her index finger and said that with a smile, as if imitating Elise. Perhaps realizing that she was being imitated, Elise had a dissatisfied look on her face.

“We found a nice place actually. My father said that, ‘I can at least buy a home for everyone to return to’.”

I want to grind the head of Mea who was talking to Run-run like that. After all, it’s unforgivable.

But she’s doing it for everyone’s sake. So, maybe it can’t be helped. We cannot deny her kindness.

As I was thinking that, Mea twirled her pasta and made her best attempt to cover for me.

“But …… you know, that kind of thing may cause Mirai’s father too much trouble indeed.”

“I’m have the same opinion as Mea. I also feel sorry for her father.”

I quickly agreed with her.

The good-natured Elise would certainly be on board with us. We win if it’s a majority vote.

AHAHAHAHAHA!

Whoops, I just broke out into a dirty laugh. I cannot do this, I cannot do this. As I’m the cute Ariane-chan♡.

“I thought this to be the case, and so it was decided that we would pay for half of it ourselves. It is quite a lot of money, but enough that we could pay it back depending on the effort we make from here on out.”

Mea smiles as she says that. Why are you being so nice? All right, can I just do it already? I can go ahead and start grind the hell out of you, can’t I?

“Hi-hii-eyi! B-by the way, how much does it cost?”

Hey now, leader (Elise). What is this, why are you now trying to run away from it now? If Elise doesn’t get her act together, we won’t be able to decide on anything at all. I wonder if hitting her with a wad of cash would make her wobble.

That said, as I was guessing how many pounds it would be, but the actual amount was obliquely more than I had expected.

“Um… about 100 gold coins?”

“Hyaa—Kyuu~, that’s, um… well.”

Elise slumped over as if all the strength had left her body. Mea’s mouth hung open in disbelief. And I could only sigh.

“Wait, let Onee-san explain to you about the value of money, Mirai-chan. Obtaining 100 gold coins requires defeating a high-ranking demon lord’s officer, you know?”

“I can’t handle such a debt…”

Both Elise and Mea had rejected the idea in unison. Mirai didn’t seem too surprised. That’s why I sighed again, thinking, “Welp, this is how nobles are like.”

“I don’t really understand, but wouldn’t the interest be unbearable?”

“Oh, the Dukesburg family will bear that burden, so it’s interest-free.”

With a clap of her hands, Mirai said that, and then smiled cunningly, negotiating like a true noble, a part of the Dukesburg family, who had risen in the top of the business world.

“Well, since it has come to this, I guess Mea, who called herself the ace, and Elise, our leader, have both made up their mind on not being able to achieve the level of commitment they were once flaunting about moments ago.”

As Mirai said that provocatively. Even Elise, who was absent-minded until now immeditaely came alive. This is bad; if I don’t stop this quickly, we’ll all be easily drowned in.

“Guess only I believe that we could defeat the demon lord’s officer?”

Mirai sighed incredulously. Even with my brain working overtime, I couldn’t think of a good solution for her level of manipulation.

“It is as I told you!”

“I’ll show you that I, as the leader, can defeat a demon lord’s officer with ease!”

The stupid girls were easily manipulated by Mirai.

“Then we can buy it, right?”

“Of course!”

“Absolutely.”

Oh dear. Elise, who was previously holding her head, got caught up in it. Now it’s my turn to hold my head… This time, Mirai directs the conversation towards me.

“Ariann, you think we can do it too, right?”

“Y-yes…”

I replied while suppressing tears of frustration. I have to become smarter. For the sake of these two foolish girls…
