Do you have... decidophobia?!
Symptoms of decidophobia: I. Feeling extremely difficult to make a decision when faced with the need to make a choice. II. Inability to make a satisfactory choice. III. Feeling anxious, conflicted, or even at a loss when you have to make a decision.
Given how Sora acted earlier, I become more and more sure of my judgment.
[Sora Ichinose]... Why do you think that?
[player]You seemed very ill-at-ease when you were choosing costumes, and you said many times that "it's not the costume." I really can't think of anything that explains this other than decidophobia.
[Sora Ichinose]*Coughs* It's not that. I just, just...
[player]Just what?
[Sora Ichinose]Nothing... Which one do you think suits me better?
[player]The little zombie costume you tried on looked nice, you look good as a mage too, but I think the most impressive one was the vampire costume! I can ask the store to make some changes to the accessories, and that costume will be perfect.
[Sora Ichinose]You mean that shop...
When I mention the Ghouls and Ghasts, Ichinose's eyes light up, and that strange emotion seems to return again, making me feel baffled.
[Sora Ichinose]*Coughs* In that case, I'll go with that costume. Vampires are one of the most popular Halloween characters, and I trust your judgment.
Ten minutes later, we are back at the Ghouls and Ghasts again. The employee from before has changed into a clown costume, but it's a shame that no one is in the mood to enjoy his performance right now.
[Employee]Ah, dear customers, welcome once again!
[Sora Ichinose]I want to buy the vampire costume and the relevant accessories. Hmm... and I want to adjust the size of the cape.
[Employee]Are you sure? Don't you want to look at the other costumes?
[Sora Ichinose]...According to the data, this is the best result.
[Employee]That will be 23,000 Coppers. Thank you!
[Sora Ichinose]Here's 23,000. Please check the amount. Okay... it's decided.
It's that weird feeling again, and it's giving me the urge to stop this transaction. But like what Sora said, data doesn't lie... right?
I still feel confused about this even after I say goodbye to Sora and return home.
[Student A]Look! It's a newly-released HD image!
[Student B]You can see the elf prince staring affectionately at the princess in the corner. That's sooo sweet!
[Student A]After the fashion show, I watched and played lots of related movies and games. I couldn't help crying when I saw the scene where the prince desperately rushes back to the forest only to see the princess die!
[Student B]Someone has uploaded another HD image of the fashion show on CatChat! I wonder who managed to take such an amazing photo?! I'll love the prince x princess pair forever!
It's been a whole week since Aotsuyu Middle School held its Halloween fashion show, and people are still talking about it enthusiastically.
This year, the winner wasn't dressed up as a popular character like a vampire. Instead, the people voted for the modest and polite elf prince and princess.
The scene of the two dancing on petals won over the hearts of everyone present, and even I, who was invited to participate in the Aotsuyu Middle School fashion show by Reina Nanami was no exception.
Naturally, the prize that Sora had been dreaming about ended up in someone else's hands.
[Reina Nanami]I think elf prince-related topics will still be popular for the next month.
[player]When I went to the video store to buy a movie yesterday, I found that the movie I wanted was already sold out, and the store was urgently contacting the supplier.
[Reina Nanami]The event was very successful this time, so it's not strange that it has caused some chain reactions. By the way, we got separated when it was time to vote. Who did you vote for in the end? Did you vote for the elf prince?
[player]No, I gave my vote to a cute vampire.
[Reina Nanami]I think everyone is just a little tired of vampires since the winner has been a vampire for several years in a row already. I remember that Sora really liked that commemorative book set. I hope he doesn't feel too bad about it...
[player]...
To be precise, moisture quickly gathered in Sora's eyes the moment the result was announced. He would have burst into tears if there weren't so many people there.
[player]It really is a shame, but I think he'll win next year after his experiences with the fashion show this year.
[Reina Nanami]Yeah! I'll vote for him too next time.
I heard that the same commemorative book set will be sold at the bookstore from next Monday onwards. I should send Sora a text message and let him know. Hopefully this little cute vampire will cheer up soon after hearing about it.
