Upon hearing the name Miss Hina, Gorou's face instantly turned beet red.
How could he possibly forget that name? That one shout from Bai Luo back then had nearly caused him to make a fool of himself.
Fortunately, he had managed to smooth things over by using his "sister" as an excuse.
But after that incident, more than one person had mentioned wanting to meet Gorou's sister, Miss Hina.
But what sister did he have? He could only barely manage to deflect their inquiries.
The matter had even reached Her Excellency, Sangonomiya, and even she had asked about Miss Hina.
"This... this isn't appropriate, is it? Besides, wouldn't my voice give me away?"
Gorou's ears were pricked up, and even his tail was stiff as a board, showing just how nervous he was.
He had already resolved never to wear that outfit again; it was a dark part of his history! A nightmare!
'Good grief,' Bai Luo thought, 'I just asked you to pose as Miss Hina to comfort everyone through letters, and you've already fast-forwarded to appearing before everyone in women's clothing. Just as I'd expect from you.'
"Actually, you don't need to show your face at all. You just need to put on this outfit, take a picture with a Kamera, and then write letters in Miss Hina's tone to cheer everyone on and listen to their requests and grievances."
Gorou was a bit confused by the first part of what Bai Luo said.
But he understood the latter part, as it was something he already did in the military camp.
In other words... he just needed to take care of everyone in a different way?
It didn't seem that difficult, but as for the Kamera...
"Don't worry, I brought a Kamera."
As if seeing through Gorou's thoughts, Bai Luo smiled and pulled out a special Kamera from within his robes.
This one was made in Fontaine to meet the needs of the "Steambird" press. Unlike other ordinary Kameras, it could add special colors to the printed images.
Simply put... it was a Kamera with built-in filters.
"Ah? You mean, take the picture now?"
Gorou was very nervous. He had thought Bai Luo would give him more time to make a decision.
"Of course. I might be leaving in the next two days, and I don't know how long it will be before I come here again."
Bai Luo urged him on while adjusting the Kamera in his hands.
After hesitating for a long time, Gorou stood up and walked into the inner room.
A few minutes later, Miss Hina walked out.
This made Bai Luo do a double-take.
This kid had some skills. The last time he wore this outfit, it took a considerable amount of time. This time, he managed it in just a few minutes.
Why are you so skilled at this!
Not only that, but the clothes that had previously been wet and dirty were now brand new, clearly having been carefully washed.
He just didn't know how he had managed to dry them.
After all, with the incessant rain on Yashiori Island, everyone's clothes were dried in a specific room. Surely he wouldn't have taken it there?
"How... how is it?"
Wearing this outfit again, Gorou still felt extremely awkward, but he managed to force a smile.
Bai Luo looked him up and down a few times, then picked up a brush and paper from the side and stuffed them into his hands.
"Strike a nice pose."
"Oh."
Following Bai Luo's words, Gorou stood stiffly in place, his expression extremely serious, looking nothing like a kind, understanding older sister.
"Don't be so serious. Look happier."
"But..."
How could he possibly be happy wearing this outfit?
If he really forced himself to smile, his face might cramp up.
"Wait a moment..."
After looking him over, Bai Luo seemed to have thought of something.
He took out the nearby black gloves and held them up to Gorou's hands for comparison.
Perhaps unsatisfied, he shook his head slightly, drew his reverse-blade sword, and used the back edge of the blade to modify the edge of the gloves.
Then, a pair of gloves with a wavy lace pattern appeared in his hands.
The reason for doing this was actually to cover up the calluses on Gorou's hands, formed from years of drawing a bow and shooting arrows.
After all, Miss Hina was a gentle and considerate older sister, and she shouldn't have such things on her hands.
Now... it was finally perfect.
"Yes, yes, that's it. Just act like you're about to write something on the paper."
"Smile! You must smile! Miss Hina isn't a general in the army, but an older sister who can listen to everyone's requests. How can you keep a straight face?"
"A gentle smile. Gentleness will shorten the distance between you and the soldiers and make this outfit twice as effective."
"You don't need to hide your teeth. A slight reveal of your canine teeth will make everyone trust you more."
"The clothes a little lower, yes, yes! Just like that. This will attract people's attention in just the right way, making them focus more on you."
Under Bai Luo's professional guidance, a brand-new photo of Miss Hina was produced.
Should one say that this Kamera truly lives up to its reputation as a Fontaine special?
Not only did it accurately identify Gorou's "gender," but it also considerately added eyeshadow and softened his more prominent facial features, making him look more gentle.
Most importantly, it even perfectly "restored" Gorou's firm pectoral muscles.
Coupled with the bow decoration on his chest...
One could only say, as expected of Miss Hina.
Even Bai Luo couldn't help but exclaim, "A song that breaks the heart, who under heaven wouldn't know of you?"
"Is... is this all?"
Having struck so many poses he had never done before, Gorou felt extremely embarrassed.
But at least it was over.
"Yes. Starting tomorrow, announce to everyone that Miss Hina will listen to their thoughts, and then collect the things they want to talk about. This way... the matter can be perfectly resolved."
Bai Luo said, stealthily saving all the pictures he had taken.
In any case, very few people on Watatsumi Island knew about things like Kameras.
Gorou probably didn't know that the photos he had claimed were discarded were actually still safely stored in the Kamera, right?
"Not just within the resistance army, you know."
Seeing Gorou's tail start to wag again, Bai Luo, as if opening a Pandora's box, began to spread a certain disaster to him.
"I hear the resistance has recently infiltrated Inazuma City. Perhaps you can also use this to gather information from within the city."
"Gather information from Inazuma City?"
Bai Luo's words made Gorou's ears perk up.
As the general of the resistance army, he knew better than anyone how important information from Inazuma City was to them.
If he could also gather intelligence this way, then wearing this outfit would be worth it.
"That's right. In your identity as a confidante sister, you can open an anonymous Q&A column at the Yae Publishing House. This way... if certain people have any troubles, they will voluntarily send them to you. And among these matters, there will definitely be some useful information!"
