Date A Gravure Case 1: Astral Dress
“…Huh? What are you doing?”
After stepping into a room aboard the <Fraxinus>, Shido’s eyes widened.
This reaction was understandable because there were several cameras, lights, reflectors and other things all set up, like a photo studio.
“Oh, Shido, you’re here. I was just about to take some pictures of Tohka.”
Kotori explained as she adjusted the equipment.
After listening to what Kotori said, Shido tilted his head in confusion.
“Taking a picture… what are you taking her picture for?”
“Hmm… I don’t really know for sure, but maybe it’s for the sake of the Encore?”
“Hey, now I feel like I shouldn’t have asked that sort of question!”
After hearing Kotori’s inexplicable response, Shido couldn’t help but shout in alarm.
However, she didn’t give his reaction a second thought as she continued to focus on setting up the shoot.
“In short, we need more pictures of Tohka. Everyone, we’re going to start the photo shoot right away!”
“Okay!”
“Yeah! I will light the fire of Prometheus!”
“Translation. Kaguya has everything perfectly prepared.”
The Spirits nodded in response to Kotori’s command.
A camera appeared in her hands and released a dazzling flash of light from all directions, engulfing all the Spirits in a brilliant light.
“Eh!”
At that moment, Nia’s eyes suddenly fell on some kind of document and suddenly shouted.
“Wait a minute! Sorry, sorry! The first photo is supposed to be taken with your Astral Dress. Tohka, can you change into it?”
“Muu? You want me to change into my Astral Dress?”
After hearing what Nia said, Tohka tilted her head in confusion.
This was hardly a surprise. After all, Tohka’s powers were currently sealed. If she wanted to wear her complete Astral Dress, her mental state would have to become unstable, causing her Spirit powers to flow back.
“Hmm! …But how are we going to get Tohka-san’s complete Astral Dress to manifest?”
Miku muttered as she put her finger against her chin, and then Origami responded: “We can use iron chains to cuff Tohka’s feet and then put Kinako bread at a place where she is just close enough to touch it without actually being able to eat it.”
“H-H-Hey…”
“That would cause a reversal of her Spirit powers, but it wouldn’t be good if she inversed, would it…?”
Origami’s suggestion was far too cruel and caused Shido and Kotori to break out into a nervous sweat.
“Anyway, we don’t need to force Tohka like that. We can change Tohka’s outfit into an Astral Dress just by using <Haniel>.”
“Huh… Can we?”
“Yeah~!”
“This… what’s going on?!”
Now that she’d been dragged into the conversation, Natsumi’s eyes widened in shock, and at the same time, the other Spirits clapped their hands while saying, “Oh!”
“Natsumi-san, you have such a useful power…”
“Yeah, it’d make sense to rely on you for this.”
“Appreciation. This is a really good idea.”
The Spirits all said such things, their voices filled with admiration for her as they all agreed with each other.
“N-No, how could I do such a thing…”
Natsumi’s cheeks were flushed a dark red as she shifted her gaze back and forth uncomfortably. However, that didn’t stop the other Spirits from praising her.
“Oh~! Surely Natsumi-san can do it! She’s so pretty that it’s driving me crazy!”
“Ah~! She’s so cute and competent, and she’s really excellent~!”
“A-AAAHHHHHHH!”
Natsumi seemed to have reached her limits at that moment, as she clutched her head and screamed.
At that moment, Natsumi’s body glowed faintly and with the sound of a bang revealed a virgining Astral Dress.
“Ah… whoa!”
“Natsumi-san is in her Astral Dress…!”
Bang!
The girl’s Astral Dress appeared.
“W-Whoa!”
“Natsumi appears to have just been pretending this whole time…”
“This isn’t about us. It’s about turning Tohka’s outfit into her Astral Dress.”
“Whoa!”
The now red-faced Natsumi raised her hand and the Angel <Haniel> appeared in her hand as she started to scream at the other Spirits, causing even more noise in the room.
