Patrick and I parted methods, and I returned to my room alone. 

This time, the ideas about my parallel world counterparts crammed my thoughts.

Though she is especially hostile in direction of me, I can’t assist however really feel hatred in direction of her. We’ve got the identical face, and I don’t like how she talks to me, nevertheless it’s not the identical as a deep-seated hatred. 

The lengthy hair that hides certainly one of her eyes might be as a result of she doesn’t have anybody to chop it for her. And that frilly gothic lolita costume… is only a matter of non-public preferences. 

Her garments are ridiculous. I doubt her sanity to put on such fairy-tale garments with an air of indifference. It’s even unfathomable to put on a gothic lolita costume to destroy the world. 

Because of the garments within the instance, nonetheless, we’re distinguishable from one another, so I suppose I needs to be grateful. Can anyone inform us aside if now we have the identical haircut and garments?

If we alter how we speak, it could be unimaginable to establish even these near us. 

The thought of an enhanced model of twin-swapping got here to me in shock. It’s attention-grabbing. I wish to do it. 

“Yosh, let’s do it.”

I start to behave instantly. 

Fortunately, I’m on their lonesome now. The rationale I mentioned I needed to be left alone was to not assume however to hold out a shock. Yup, it needed to be. 

I stormed out of my room and ran down the steps. I don’t need anybody to note me. It had turn into a behavior for me to stroll with silent footsteps. 

I arrived on the mansion’s bathtub. #2 have to be taking a shower proper now. Isn’t she too careless to take off her garments in enemy territory?

I slipped quietly into the altering room. Opening the door another time, I discovered myself within the lavatory. I can hear the sound of scorching water working. 

Now, the place is that costume? Once I began trying to find it, I heard a pointy voice. 

“There! Who’s there?”

#2’s skill to sense the presence is wonderful. 

However don’t fear. I’ve ready a plan to cope with conditions like this. I raised my voice barely and mentioned,

“……I’ve introduced you some garments.”

“The servants ought to no less than share info with one another. I advised you earlier than, didn’t I? I’ve no intention of sporting something however these garments.”

“I apologize, please excuse our discourtesy.”

Oh, she wears that costume to mattress, too? That’s not good. At the very least put on regular pajamas. 

If I didn’t go away instantly, I’d look suspicious, however I had already discovered the garments in query. Choosing it up gently, I left the altering room. 

After all, a alternative change of garments was left. They have been my common pajamas. 

As soon as I bought #2’s gothic lolita costume, I shortly became it and headed to Patrick’s. 

Would he discover? Oh, these pranks are the funniest.

However becoming unfamiliar and complex garments took numerous time. There are buttons in unusual locations and it’s undoubtedly not one thing I’d put on on my own. 

Time is ticking till #2 will get out of the bathtub and will get indignant. I needed to hurry. 

Pissed off by the unaccustomed frills, I skulked down the hallway and ran into Eleanora. 

#2 will need to have been unfriendly to her the entire time. However Eleanora didn’t let that cease her from smiling at me.

“Oh! Umm… Yumiela-san… is that okay?”

“Simply name me no matter you need. If it will get complicated, you may name me #2 like she does.”

“#2 will not be a fairly title. Yumiela-san is so careless about such issues… Ah! Now Yumiela-san is the same old Yumiela-san, the one who—”

“I get it! Yumiela, Yumiela, shut up!”

Oh! Eleanora thinks I’m #2. It’s wonderful how efficient these garments are.

I additionally assume my performing expertise are as much as snuff. The voice is strictly the identical as mine, so long as I imitate her tone. 

The one factor I haven’t been capable of recreate is the coiffure. Then, she identified this level. 

“Huh? Your lengthy hair……”

“It was getting in my means, so I minimize it off. Is that dangerous?”

“……Are you Yumiela-san?”

“Ha? I’ve advised you a lot occasions, my title is Yumiela.”

Oh, no. She felt one thing was unsuitable with my hair. Eleanora twisted her head and gave me a suspicious look. 

“Hmm?”

“What? If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”

“Okay… good night time?”

Sensing that I used to be about to be observed, I broke off the dialog and walked previous Eleanora. 

Though she hadn’t been capable of pinpoint it, she appeared to sense one thing. Eleanora unusually has good instinct. 

Leaving the scene shortly, I headed for Patrick’s room. He doesn’t have any wild instinct, he in all probability wouldn’t know. 

I knocked on his door. 

“Who’s there?”

“It’s me.”

“Yumiela?”

“Huh? Can’t you even acknowledge your girlfriend’s voice?”

After opening the door, the very first thing I did was say one thing hateful. 100 factors for completely mimicking #2. It will idiot Patrick, for certain. 

He was sitting at his desk scribbling one thing and solely glanced at me earlier than specializing in his job. 

He was surprisingly unresponsive. I used to be anticipating him to get defensive when #2 got here into his room. 

Focusing his job available, Patrick mentioned,

“You appeared unusually distressed… why are you dressing like that?”

“I’ve been sporting this from the beginning. What? Are you complicated me with that lady? My hair was in the best way so I minimize it off.”

“No, you’re Yumiela, proper?”

Our conversations don’t appear to be going effectively. Patrick is performing unusual, he’s caught off guard by my disguise as #2. 

No, I can’t look involved. Proper now I’m Yumiela #2. I mustn’t act as if I care about him. 

“I’m Yumiela… So what? I don’t get what you’re making an attempt to say.”

“I’m sorry for complicated you, however—”

Patrick raised his gaze from his hand, appeared me within the eyes, and continued. 

“I don’t actually like the best way you mentioned Yumiela #1… you’re my Yumiela, proper?”

“Oh, you discuss individuals like they’re your property….”

“You’re my very own Yumiela, proper?”

“…Sure.”

No, I’m not Patrick’s property however Patrick’s Yumiela. 

Ah, he knew all alongside. No marvel the dialog didn’t go effectively. 

“How do you know? Apart from my hair, I believe I used to be an ideal #2.”

“Hmm… the ambiance or the vibe… someway appears like Yumiela.”

“What the?”

There’s no logical rationalization, then? Does it imply that he someway acknowledged me as me primarily based on his personal instinct and sensitivity? Do you… love me that a lot?

Patrick appears to be like at my outfit from high to backside and says,

“You look good in that costume.”

“Oh, this costume is for disguising myself to seem like #2. I’ll by no means put on it once more.”

Wow. As quickly as I noticed that he acknowledged me, abruptly I felt embarrassed. 

There I’m, in entrance of Patrick, sporting a gothic lolita costume that I had advised him I’d by no means put on. What appeared like a enjoyable shock venture had became an embarrassing expertise.

Excited about leaving shortly, Patrick opens his mouth.

“Nonetheless, that was shocking.”

“But it surely’s not! It wasn’t like I secretly needed to strive on this costume or something!”

“It was shocking that she lent you her garments.”

“Mhm, I believe I’m going to must return it.”

I want to imagine that Yumiela #2 is the kind of one who takes lengthy baths. 

By the best way, I’m the alternative. I don’t assume they’re brief however Rita typically wonders if I’ve taken a correct bathtub. If it’s too brief, she’ll ask me to return be part of and wash along with her. I’ve lately elevated my tally from 100 to 200….

Once I was eager about it, I heard a commotion from downstairs. Ah, it’s too late now. 

Not desirous to get into bother the place it doesn’t belong, I poked my head out into the hallway and mentioned, 

“Right here! Go upstairs!”

A thumping sound of working was heard. 

Yumiela #2 appeared quickly after, sporting solely a towel wrapped round her. 

“What are you sporting?”

“I knew it was you! That is ridiculous!”

It’s what she’s sporting that’s ridiculous. Patrick is watching. 

A half-naked girl barges into the room. Oh, she’s sporting a bathe cap. She didn’t like my polka dot pajamas, did she?

“Sorry, I’m actually sorry.”

“Somewhat than apologize, give me my garments again shortly. Take them off.”

Nonetheless in her towel, she grabs me, making an attempt to get my garments off. 

At this price, there will likely be two nearly bare Yumiela. Who will profit from this? Patrick may. That might be regular for him to wish to see his favourite lady bare, since he’s a boy, too. 

Properly, ought to I simply go away it at that? In the future I’ll give him my chastity anyway. Consider it as simply anticipating a future occasion. It is going to be within the not-too-distant future. Faster than the entire human race sporting mysterious full-body tights studying to fly and flying vehicles. 

“All proper, all proper, I’ll take it off.”

“You’ll say that and run away?! You possibly can’t idiot my eyes!”

Yumiela #2 clung to me along with her moist hair in a multitude, exhibiting an uncommon obsession with gothic lolita attire. The towel is about to slide off at any minute. 

…Hmm? Isn’t this making #2 extra sensual than me? 

With this scene burned into his mind, Patrick started to hunt out #2 over me… oh, no. 

Having had a imaginative and prescient of the worst doable future, I interrupted the occasion that was about to be R-rated. 

I grabbed #2’s palms and held them down whereas I considered methods to cease her. However, isn’t she embarrassed? How will you put on a towel in entrance of a person, even when he’s a stranger? May it’s that she’s too wound up in her thoughts to note Patrick’s presence? She’s not calm sufficient. 

“Are you conscious? You realize Patrick’s in there, proper?”

“…That man left instantly.”

“Eh?”

I used to be unable to search out him as I appeared across the room. He appeared to have left the room fairly early. Was it me who was missing in composure? 

Once I was surprised, #2 rushed me. 

“Hurry up and take it off.”

“I’ll take it off.”

In the long run, I used to be on the mercy of #2, who made me take off my garments. She didn’t want to try this, I’d have taken it off myself. 

Earlier than lengthy, #2 was again in her gothic lolita costume. And I used to be like… what am I going to put on? 

“Hey, the place are my garments?”

“I don’t know.”

One other disaster has hit me. I don’t have any garments to put on. 

I had hoped we may alternate garments, however she had come all this fashion sporting solely a towel. 

It will probably’t be helped. Guess I’ll must ask #2 to get it for me. Once I was about to ask her for assist, she opened the door, taking a look at me with a faint smile. 

“Properly, you’re by yourself.”

“Hey, wait, my—”

My voice was drowned out by the cruel sound of the door being slammed shut. 

She knew! She knew and she or he left me! She’s making an attempt to get again at me. She was fairly indignant, wasn’t she? 

However what ought to I do? That is Patrick’s non-public quarters. Once I appeared across the room for one thing to put on, I discovered a shirt hanging messily on a chair. 

It was uncommon for him to depart his garments unattended. Fortunately he did go away his garments. 

I made a decision that this may do for now and placed on his shirt. The shirt was fairly massive for my physique nevertheless it was good as a result of it lined my decrease half. It’s like a costume. 

Now that I’ve gotten some garments close by, I’m able to go to mattress. 

Earlier than that, I want to search out Patrick and have a phrase with him. I go away his room and stroll across the mansion searching for him. 

Ultimately, I’ll cross somebody and I’ll ask them the place he’s. 

Whereas strolling down the upstairs hallway, I noticed Patrick from the opposite facet. Simply my luck. 

“Patrick, I’m sorry for making a scene in your room. It was largely #2’s fault.”

“Yumiela?! Your outfit is….”

I checked myself to see if one thing was unsuitable. Ooh, I used to be solely sporting Patrick’s shirt proper now. I ought to thank him for letting me borrow his garments.

“I’ll borrow it for a bit. #2 didn’t carry my garments, and she or he took the garments I used to be sporting.” 

“Ooh… I didn’t know that.”

Patrick says, his gaze wandering. 

I’d additionally wish to thanks for leaving so shortly after #2 barged in. 

“I recognize you giving me some area. It was form of embarrassing, although she was a distinct particular person.”

“I suppose so. She may fear about it later.”

Did he additionally fear about #2, who was solely sporting a towel?

Patrick is simply too saintly. If I got here throughout him half-naked, I’d be glancing at him for one motive or one other. 

Nevertheless, even when he acts like a gentleman, he desires to embrace me deep down. …That’s ridiculous, isn’t it? Or perhaps not. 

“You’re free to fantasize about it.”

“Yumiela, hurry up and placed on some garments. It might be dangerous if anybody noticed you.”

“Eh? I’m sporting garments, aren’t I? I imply I’m solely sporting underwear beneath, however this counts as a costume, proper?”

“No means! Don’t exit dressed like that.”

Patrick has been performing unusual since some time in the past. He wouldn’t preserve eye contact with me for some time. 

Huh? He retains mentioning my garments, however I’m sporting certainly one of his shirts. And in contrast to #2, I’m shy, so I don’t exit in public dressed suggestively.

Then, what’s the issue? Do you hate it when individuals borrow your garments? If that’s the case, I’ve accomplished one thing unsuitable. 

“Aah, sorry. I’ll give it proper again.”

“No! Don’t take them off!”

“I’m not taking my garments off right here!”

Don’t begin performing so bizarre impulsively! I’d by no means take off my garments in public. We’ve recognized one another for a very long time and you already know that.

“Get again to your room and dress, fast.”

“Uh-huh.”

Uncertain of what was happening, I used to be walked and shoved into my room. 

I do not know what Patrick’s perspective was. All I may work out was the speculation that he was not drawn to me.
