## Previously

Toward the end of this school's term, the school's choir club decided to enter a local music competition. Akira and Rumi, as well as many of their other friends, were already members of the choir. This means that both the boys and the girls of the choir would have to do serious practice to get ready for the competition. Singing practices began immediately. Soon, the Choir Director had to choose what outfit that her choir would wear in front of the judges and a live audience. The Choir Director knew that Akira was born a boy, so she made an offer to Akira. That is, the choir could have separate outfits for both the boys and the girls, or if Akira was displeased with that, all of the choir would wear the boy's outfit. After much blood, sweat, and tears, Akira chose to wear the girl's outfit, meaning that the boys and the girls would each have their own separate outfit. The girl' outfit consisted of a formal dress shirt, and a mini-skirt held up by suspenders. In the end, Akira was glad to be presenting as a girl, wearing the girl's outfit, for the competition. But it is now the last day of the school year. What have the students planned for this day ?

## This Omake's Story

During the final day of school, before all the students graduated to Jr. High, the students put on a special presentation as a tribute to the homeroom teacher. It was a farewell party. The entertainment consisted of a bingo challenge, and a talent show. One of the skits in the talent show was Shouma and Yuuto presenting themselves as male characters from an anime or manga. They were greeted with thunderous applause at the end of their routine. Next up on the talent show was the four girls, Akira, Rumi, Erika, and Mayu. They were in a different room, changing into their costumes. When everybody was ready to go on stage, Mayu mentions that there is no going back now ! Here we go ! All four girls were in professional maid's costumes. However, Akira and Mayu had on cat ears, making them cat girls as maids. Rumi had on bunny ears, making her a bunny girl. And finally, Erika was presenting as a lolita lifestyle teenage girl doing her job as a maid. The four girls went on stage and sang a song in harmony to honor the homeroom teacher.

As she was singing the song, Akira's mind was elsewhere. She thought back to a time when the teacher and herself had a private meeting together. The teacher knew that Akira had been born a boy, but was transformed into an anatomically correct girl. At this most important meeting, the teacher recommended that Akira attend a special, private, gender inclusive school in Tokyo. The school was especially accommodating to transgender students. Akira thought long and hard about attending. Yet, in the end, she declined to go to that school. Why ? Because by that time, Akira's friendship and girl-with-girl love for Rumi had grown so strong, that she could not bear to be separated from her. Thus, Akira selected to go to the same school as Rumi had indicated she would attend. Now, both of them would enter the same Jr. High, and be in the same classes together.

At the end of the song, the teacher and audience applauded long and loud. The four girls bowed deeply to the teacher, as a showing of honor and respect for her teaching abilities and guidance all during the school year.

A couple of days later, in her bedroom, Akira is examining her maid costume. She wonders what is to be done with it ? She decides to keep it. Later, it made an excellent costume for her to wear to Tokyo's Comic Con.
