A girl in gothic loli clothing walks into the dining room. She is dressed in black and white with frills everywhere. But it's not just a heaping helping of food. A gothic loli costume built on a wonderful balance that also takes into account proper subtraction.

　Furthermore, her hair is shoulder-length, but curled nicely and loosely. Her pure white hair is pure white, and it looks crystal clear to all intents and purposes. I'm not sure if she's wearing make-up or not, but she has a definite coloring to her face, even though she's a child.

　This girl is definitely going to be a beauty in the future. There was enough beauty there to make me think so.

　But I don't know who this girl is. Every once in a while, a military family comes to the canteen. So it's not that I'm making a big deal out of it, but the girl was just too beautiful. That's why everyone's eyes are drawn to her. I was watching that scene from a distance.


　But...................she looked familiar.


'Hey, Shelly. Have you seen that girl?


　Sophia comes up to me and talks to me.


''Well it certainly looks like someone else...''
'Oh!　It's not Julia!
What are you two talking about?


　As Sophia and I were talking like that, Eira-senpai came up to us. It looks like she just put the food on a tray and moved over.


''Ah, Eira-senpai. Um, we're talking about how that girl looks like Yulia.
It's Julia.
What...?


　The voices overlap. Is that ... Julia?　That's not possible. It's impossible. Because no matter how you look at it.......it looks like a woman.


　And this "crappy" woman comes up to me.


"Oh, Sherry and Sophia.
'What?　Wait!　Seriously, it's Julia!
"Calm down, Sophia!　At times like this, we count to prime numbers!　2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31.......


　The world came to a halt.

　The voice was seriously Julia's. A high, husky voice for a man. But how could I forget it? This voice is ... it's Julia. There's no doubt about it. I hear it almost every day. There is no mistaking it.


　And why Yulia is dressed as a woman.......that goes back several hours.



　◇


Okay.


　I wake up in a batch. Today is my first day off in a long time. And I'm planning to go shopping in town with Eira-senpai. As they say, "I have a lot to buy, will you come along? He said. Of course I agreed with him. I'm always indebted to my seniors. I was happy if I could use this opportunity to return the favor, even if only a little.


　Then I changed into my normal clothes. However, I don't have any good clothes, so they are quite ordinary. Shirt and trousers. It's simple, but well it's all I have, so I can't help it. It would be easier if it was the military uniform I always wear, but I wonder if I should do a lot of things for this kind of situation........


''.........oops, time.......''


　While I'm moping around, the time is already 15 minutes before the meeting.

　I hurriedly went outside and headed to the meeting place. You should have just met in front of the lodgings, but senpai specified a fountain in the city. I don't know why he went to the trouble of designating such a place, but.......I'm sure he has some noble idea that I wouldn't have thought of.


''I'm sorry ... just in the nick of time ...''
'Okay. I've just arrived.
....


　Fascination. Yes, my senpai's appearance was completely different from what I was expecting. It's a good idea to have your hair in a ponytail, but it's a little rough and tidy, and the bangs are made so that you can see your forehead. It's what we call a see-through bang. Her hair is also curled in a nice way. She also looks whiter than usual, maybe because she is wearing a little bit of make-up, and her face is a little bit pinker than usual. What's more notable is the clothes she's wearing. It's a simple one-piece with white as the base color. That was what brought out the charm of the seniors more than anything else.


　That, compared to that, I'm........


"Se-senpai........sorry. I'm............................!
Wait, wait, what are you doing?
''My seniors care so much about their appearance, yet they're so pretty!　I'm such a cliché looking ... I'm not worthy!
What? Is she pretty?
It's not possible!　And yet I.........!
Hmmm. Yeah, he's cute. She's cute...


　Senpai wrapping her hair around her finger.


Oh yeah. I've got an idea.
!　You're going to punish me for my disappointment?　And yet it is........you should accept it wholeheartedly....
Hmm, Yulia. Do you want to dress up?


　I followed him. After that........what was waiting for me was the unknown world.


"This is........me?　No, me?


　When I looked in the mirror, it wasn't me there. It was me. It was Julia.


'Huh, I knew the material would be good for you. I've always been a neutral person. The clear skin and faintly dyed lips. And the pure white hair that reaches to your shoulders!　There's no way we can't take advantage of this!
Sir, that's a good look for you.


　I, or rather I, was reborn by the seniors and the clerk.


　The size of the clothes that could only be considered to fit me. The gothic costume fits perfectly, plus a pair of black and white interwoven high socks and a pair of long boots layered over it. The pure white hair is applied with a protectant (treatment) and then neatly curled with a 25 mm iron. With utmost care, the curls should not be strong. It's just a faint curl. From there, carefully twist in more weak hair wax and oil. The hair wax is used to shape the hair and the oil is used to give it just the right amount of shine. Spray more on to keep it perfectly in place.


　Minimal make-up is also a must. Let the ingredients come alive. Start with the base. Layer a little foundation and then swoosh on some more light pink lipstick. I cut the eyebrows a little and draw a beautiful shape with a pen. And what was born......my new appearance, which should be described as Julia-chan.


　That's right........if I dress up, I can be able to stand next to my seniors!


　I was completely disappointed in myself at this time. I was a man, and normally I should be pursuing my masculinity. But now I was more impressed with my biggest fashionable self in my life than that. After all, the senior was right. According to her, "Yulia is a good material, you'll be beautiful. Eh?　Women's?　It doesn't matter. It's a good thing. They say that beauty transcends gender. If it is said so, it may be true. No, it's what my senpai says. There's no doubt about it!


''Thank you, senior. Now I can stand next to my senior with confidence!
'Hmmm, yes!　Come on, let's go!
Yes!


　So me and my seniors went into town to continue shopping and then headed back to our military quarters. Then, once we dropped our bags off, we headed to the mess hall. I could have changed my clothes, but it would have been a hassle, so I'd be fine with this for a while.

　When I received my meal and placed it on the tray, the senior was just talking to Shelly and Sophia.


'Oh, Shelly and Sophia,'
'What?　Wait!　Seriously, it's Julia!
"Calm down, Sophia!　At times like this, we count to prime numbers!　2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31.......


　I don't know what you're talking about. I am me. I'm no one else, I'm Julia Curtis. It's not anyone else, it's Julia Curtis, so what is this reaction?　Oh, well now that I'm dressed up I'm sure you're surprised.


　Hmmm, even I can do it if I try!


Hmmm........the curry here is delicious after all.......
What?　He doesn't seem to mind eating curry.　Julia is fully awake!
'Sophia, calm down. It's times like these that I think about good food.
'Sherry's broken too!　Julia, what's wrong, really!
''Mugu Mugu ... after all, my senior taught me how to dress up. What do you think?　I could do it, too, if I tried!
Well I mean, did you want to be pretty?
What?
Julia is a man by gender identity, right?
"?　Yes, but....
Wasn't your manhood ... necessary?
'Oh....'


　The spoon spills out of my hand. There is a rattling sound and silence. So ... I am a man. Why, why ... why ... why ... why ... why ... why ... why!　Hey, why didn't I notice that!　Oh, come to think of it........I feel like my senpai has a lot to say to me....... Cuteness is the ultimate in fashion that transcends everything, even gender, or something like that.......


''I'm sorry Yulia........I really wanted to see you pretty.......I'm sorry!
''Se-senpai-nii-nii-nii-nii!


　It was the moment when my black history was born.


　But I would later learn that this wasn't the last time I would be dressed as a woman. Hohoho..........
