Chapter 68

After finishing the meal, I returned to the infirmary with Mr. Vincent.

"Good morning. Welcome back, Yuriko, Captain Vincent."

Then, Karaf greeted us.

You look splendid as always. The brightness is making my eyes twinkle.

By the way, why is Karaf here?

"Good morning. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Good morning, Karaf-onee-sama."

Mr. Vincent didn't seem particularly surprised. Did he call her?

In any case, I'll return the greeting.

"I brought Yuriko's nurse uniform. It's a special version, so you need to learn how to wear it."

When I tilted my head, Karaf happily explained the reason.

...What's a special version?

"Yuriko, change into it before work."

Before I could ask any questions, Karaf and Mr. Vincent pushed me into a small room lined with medical charts.

"Here, this is the nurse uniform I prepared for Yuriko."

Karaf laid out a piece of fabric on the floor, about the size of a picnic blanket, and then took out the clothes from the bag and spread them out.

The main part is a navy blue mini-dress and a puffy white apron dress.

Accessories include a nurse cap, lace-trimmed pumpkin-shaped panties, and knee-high socks, all in white.

The only item in navy blue is the nurse sandals, matching the dress.

Can I be honest?

This looks very similar to the character from a certain lip balm.

"Let me explain the order. Come, stand on the fabric."

While I was stunned, Karaf, in a mood as cheerful as if she were whistling, urged me to change.

I guess cosplay is part of the job. I never knew that...

The dress's zipper at the back was difficult to pull up, and I struggled with it until Karaf, who couldn't bear to watch, helped me.

The pumpkin-shaped panties and knee-high socks were no problem.

For the apron dress, I tied a bow in front of my stomach, following Karaf's tips, and then rotated and put my arms through.

Finally, I put on the nurse cap, and somehow managed to finish changing.

...By the way, I haven't seen many nurses wearing nurse caps recently, I thought to myself.

While I was doing this, Karaf quickly folded and packed my civilian clothes into a bag.

She really is considerate and caring.

"There are still many improvements to be made in terms of comfort and other aspects.

...But Yuriko, you look so cute!"

After finishing the final check, Karaf hugged me tightly.

...As expected of a man, her chest is firm. Rub, rub.

And she has a different, pleasant scent from Elies. Sniff, sniff.

After enjoying Karaf for a while, she eventually let me go, seeming to have calmed down.

"Oops, I almost forgot. Captain Vincent asked me to put this on you."

Karaf, seemingly remembering something, took a wristband from a pocket attached to her bag. It had "Trainee" embroidered on it.

Oh, that's the most important part.

I had her put it on my left upper arm, and then I just needed to put on the nurse sandals.

I sat on the fabric, put on the sandals, and stood up.

Pookyoo!

...Huh? The sandals made a sound??

"Yeah, the sandals are working properly. It was a first attempt, but it was successful."

"Karaf-onee-sama?"

"You'll be providing first aid during combat training, right? And the medical team uses a lot of dangerous items like drugs and equipment.

Captain Vincent wanted everyone to be able to recognize where Yuriko is immediately."

As I blinked, Karaf smiled mischievously.

After hearing her explanation, I couldn't help but walk around the room to test it out.

Pookyoo pookyoo pookyoo pookyoo

This, this is...

It's a pico-pico sandal! (Gasp)

"Basically, wearing these sandals is prohibited in the infirmary. We have silent white sandals at the entrance. But when you go to the arena, you must wear the navy blue sandals that make a sound."

"Understood."

"Today, you'll wear these sandals specially so the medical team can confirm their effectiveness."

"Understood."

So, I'll be relying on these sandals for the whole day.

It wasn't just cosplay.

The pico-pico sandals are definitely a sign of being treated like a child.

I feel like something is being stripped away from me mentally in this short time.

Sigh... I'll do my best today...
