The rest of the day passed in a nice atmosphere, with dinner eaten by Melinda, Catherine, Adrianna, and Zane in an apparently famous restaurant that the timid black-haired girl had heard about from her mother.
After the meal, the group separated, with the servants going to their hostel and the girls entering their dormitory. Melinda went to bed relatively early, as the next day was the all-important entrance ceremony.
Despite the ceremony itself being set to begin at noon, Adrianna arrived at Melinda's room at the break of dawn to ensure that there would not be any mishaps…
"My la...hidhih?!"
"...nnn..."
…and the moment she reached out towards the sleeping gold-haired girl, the unsuspecting brown-haired maid was pulled onto the bed and ruthlessly cuddled by her master with notoriously low blood pressure in the morning.
It took over twenty minutes for Melinda's brain to start properly, and by the time she came to it, Adrianna's uniform suffered some grave creases.
Freed from the cute clutches of the adorably unaware Melinda, Adrianna led the gold-haired girl to the bathroom and helped her wash up, finally managing to wake her up properly.
After that came the first uniform tryout.
"...hmm…"
Melinda furrowed her brows and clenched her mouth, turning her lips into a thin line as she watched her reflection.
Two lines of frills going down on both sides of the buttons were cute. The whole shirt looked a bit vintage, of course, in a good way.
The white ribbon with the white jewel looked good on the shirt's collar, like a nicer feminine version of a bowtie.
The problem was with the black skirt - or, rather, the mini skirt.
"...Adi, be honest with me. Did I gain that much weight, or did they send us the smaller size…? It… it looks indecent, doesn't it? It's even more scandalous with stockings and garter belt."
Melinda breathed out with a troubled expression and moved around, frowning each time her movement made her flash herself in the mirror.
"My lady, can I be honest?"
Adia asked with a serious expression.
"Yes, please. That's what I asked of you!"
Melinda pouted and gave her maid a sulking look.
"No, my lady. Can I be honestly honest?"
"Y-yes…?"
Adriann shook her head and said with such authority that Melinda felt nervous - but agreed nonetheless.
"With your permission, I'll do just that."
The brown-haired maid declared, clearing her throat and putting her hand forward.
"My lady, although those clothes do flesh out the appeal, it is not them but your body that's indecent."
"...eh…?"
The maid announced while tracing a small circle with her open hand, generally pointing at all of the gold-haired girl, causing her to let out a dumbfounded voice.
"You basically don't have breasts, but instead of it being the demerit to your figure, that feature somehow brings a lot more attention to your thin waist, ample buttocks, and thighs that are too supple for their own good. The skirt isn't too short. It is simply pushed aside because of the vast difference between the width."
Adriana pointed out while putting up her other hand and tracing Melinda's silhouette in the air, just like she saw it.
"I have a question for you, actually, my lady."
"...?"
The maid added while the blushing gold-haired girl tilted her head in anticipation.
"Who made you, and why was it some demon of lust, hell-bent to tempt men?"
Adrianna clasped her hands together and asked while leaning forward with a strict expression.
"...well… the artist for the game was known to be a well-established NSFW artist… In the end, Melinda was one of the main-ish cast, so a lot of work was put into her model… although normally she would love everything fluffy, dresses and hairstyles included, so the impact might not have been there at the time…? Is the sleekness I'm going for really too much…?"
"My lady, what are you…?"
Melinda furrowed her brows, turned to the side, and mumbled, causing Adrianna to blink a few times in confusion and inquire, but right then, someone knocked on the door.
The girls didn't respond, waiting for the guest to announce themself, but what happened instead was the person just opening the door.
"Hello? Is everything alright? Why is no one ans…?"
The person turned out to be Zane, entering while worried about the lack of response…
"HNGH!"
And the moment his eyes were blessed with the sight of Melinda, he let out a choking sound and apparently forgot how to walk because he tripped on his feet and fell down like a log.
"Young Zane!"
Adrianna gasped and rushed over to him.
"I-I'm fine, so… HNGH!"
Zane groaned, trying to get up, only to look up - ending up in a perfect position to peek under Melinda's already too-short skirt and letting out another choking sound as he received double damage and got a nosebleed.
"GET OUT!"
Adrianna - who hurried over to Zane in order to kick him out of the room in the first place - roared, reaching under the fallen monstrous servant's torso and shoving him out of the room like a beached whale.
"WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE ALLOWED INSIDE!"
The maid shouted before shutting the door and hurriedly taking out a handkerchief, cleaning up the path made out of droplets of Zane's blood.
"...pants it is…"
"For the sake of every relationship of the female students of Jade Academy, casual or formal, please do wear pants instead, my lady."
Melinda breathed out, and Adrianna bowed her head to her with a heartfelt request.
The gold-haired girl took off the skirt and passed it on to the maid, who in turn offered her black suit pants that weren't part of the official uniform but were similar enough to the ones worn by male students.
"..."
Melinda tried to wear them, but for a moment, she was slowed down by her thighs and then stopped by her - as Adrianna pointed it out before - ample buttocks.
"Oh, come on… I did gain weight!"
The gold-haired girl grumbled before hopping up and down to fit in and button up finally.
"Much better, right?"
"..."
The satisfied Melinda breathed out and happily looked back at her maid, but Adrianna leaned back and squinted her eyes with a vindictive expression."
"...right…?"
"Young Zane! Please enter!"
Melinda asked anxiously while taking the smallest step back, but instead of responding to her, Adrianna called for her colleague's expertise.
