DRESS UP GAME
Summer has arrived in Japan, and Miyamae Elementary School holds a fashion parade to raise money. All of the prettiest girls are required to join the show, but who is going to model lingerie? Nobody wants to volunteer, so a lottery is held. When the winning ticket is drawn, Ava's name is on the card! So embarrassing: now Ava has to reveal her underwear in public.
Miyamae-ku: present day. As the year draws to an end, cool autumn winds have begun to sweep down from the mountains. スカートめくり has become a serious problem, which school valedictorian Elena Wentworth plans to deal with as soon as possible.
Facing the challenge head on, Elena calls a classroom meeting.
"Every girl student should wear shorts. It should be dressed for school life."
ある日、エレナは教室会議を呼び出しました。
"女子生徒は、皆、ショーツを履くべきです。学校生活にふさわしい恰好をするべきです。"
But Lily and Ava have problems with this. They are training to dance kankan at the school festival. This is Miyamae Gakuen tradition and everyone is looking forward to it. Kankan has a long history, so even teachers approve it.
After the class, Ava approaches Elena and discusses the problem.
"You can't dance while showing your pants. You should wear shorts."
If you do not want to wear shorts or shorts-type bloomers, you must cancel the show.
As the two talked, Anna approached.
She thinks wearing shorts is stupid.
I decided to teach Elena a lesson. "Elena, what are you talking about! It 's not a big deal to show your pants," she says, raising Elena's skirt.
"You're completely right, it's no big deal at all. Did you really think you'd catch me off-guard, Anna?" Elena is not really angry, but she considers herself more mature than Anna.
Lily sees what happened and walks over to scold Anna. "You're acting like a tomboy again. I thought you promised not to do that anymore." "That's why we all should start wearing shorts," Elena says.
Both Lily and Ava apologize to Elena, but they are still concerned about the school festival.
"We can't cancel the show," Lily explains, "and if we wear shorts, everyone will be disappointed. Seriously, Elena, you should come along to our rehearsals. You'll see how much fun we have."
"We can always use an extra girl in our troupe," Ava adds, "you could join us for the show."
Elena is slightly amazed by the invitation: "You want me to join your troupe?"
"Well, You're welcome to come along and watch, if you want," Lily assures her, and Elena is quite intrigued. She studied classical ballet when she was very young, and remembers how much she enjoyed it.
