Oh, the food cart has shown up. Looks like fresh sweets have been lined up at that table over there.
This party has a bunch of dishes that I'm unfamiliar with… Guess I could go around and check them out as a way to take a break. Ohh, it's a freshly baked pumpkin tart. The decorations on it really are cute how they just scream Halloween. Let me dig in right away. …Wow, there's spices in this. How unusual for there to be a pumpkin tart that's not sweet. | |
Azul  |
Oya, Trey-san. You seem to be just as keen in your studies today. | |
Trey |
Azul. It's not like I'm studying these or anything. I'm just checking them out while I rest. | |
Azul |
Fufu, if you say so. I suppose I shall take a rest as well. I hope you don't mind me taking this seat beside you.
*siiiiigh*… | |
Trey |
Haha, that was a really long sigh just now. | |
Azul |
Yes, I am still not quite used to the dances on land, so I find myself slightly out of breath. | |
Trey |
That' right, you're a mermaid. I guess there are many different aspects of things between being under the sea or on land. | |
Azul |
Indeed. And also… my glasses just somehow continuously get in my way. | |
Trey |
Aah, yeah. When you're wearing glasses, no matter what, you end up feeling restricted from moving around too strenuously.
But even then, when I take off my glasses, then everything is blurry and I can't see anything at all… It really is a pain. | |
Azul |
I'm elated that you understand. | |
Trey |
There are sports glasses, but I'm not in an athletic club right now, so I don't really need something like that either. | |
Azul |
When it comes to physical exercises, these glasses do have many vexing points, however…
Disregarding that, I believe it is an absolutely splendid invention that deserves praise. | |
Trey |
An invention? I guess if you put it that way, that's true…
I've never really put that much thought into it, since it's just always been a part of me. Hm…? Now that I think about it, do mermaids not wear glasses? | |
Azul |
There are a few mermaids who wear them, but… It isn't very common in the ocean.
I myself only started wearing glasses once I came to the surface. Of course first and foremost, it is for correcting my eyesight, but also… I once read that "Wearing glasses will exude an intellectual impression to other people." | |
Trey |
Hahaha. So it's also a strategy to build your image. | |
Azul |
Incidentally, how old were you when you started wearing glasses, Trey-san? | |
Trey |
I've had terrible eyesight since my childhood.
That's why I've been wearing glasses ever since my first year of elementary school. That means I'm a veteran with a long history of wearing glasses. I don't know if that's something to really brag about though. | |
Azul |
I see, I see. | |
Trey |
I have several different types of glasses. I swap them out according to my mood or what I'm wearing at the time. | |
Azul |
That is lovely. | |
Trey |
I guess it's similar to changing your clothes. Like, people sometimes call glasses "eyewear" right? | |
Azul |
True. If we think of it as one aspect of fashion, then it's only natural to change them out according to the time, place, and occasion.
So then, I suppose those glasses you wear often would be considered your school-life eyewear? | |
Trey |
Hm… I guess it's more like, doesn't it look like an innocuous design? | |
Azul |
It makes you look like a respectable person, and it suits you well. | |
Trey |
Hahaha, thanks. | |
Azul |
What other types of glasses do you own? | |
Trey |
Let's see… | |

Azul |
What other types of glasses do you own? | |
Trey |
Let's see…
As far as the ones I've tried already goes... I've gotten positive comments when I wear frames that are rounded, like Wellingtons or oval glasses, so I have many of those. On the other hand, unique frames like those Cat-eye or rimless ones weren't really well received. | |
Azul |
Fascinating… I see that you've tried many different types already.
I still only own this one pair of glasses but… I think I'm starting to want to try other frames as well. | |
Trey |
Those glasses really look great on you. I think it's natural to not have a need to switch them up.
The rectangular lenses are pretty mature looking, and the sharp silver frame matches your hair. | |
Azul |
Why thank you very much, Trey-san. I'm honored to receive such compliments.
However, I'm sure that these lenses would even look good on you. Since the frame is so thin, it doesn't cover much of the face, and it would most likely suit anyone. | |
Trey |
Not really. Actually, I did try wearing a similar half-rimmed pair before but…
When I did, my mother and younger sister said that they disliked it because it made me look sullen and angry. | |
Azul |
Oya, that's surprising. | |
Trey |
Well, my dad and younger brother did say that I looked cool though. | |
Azul |
Well, if their opinions were evenly divided, can you truly say that it does not suit you at all? | |
Trey |
Well... they followed it up, saying "You look like a menacing villain from a movie."
So, in the end I decided to not wear half-rimmed glasses. I didn't want to have my mother and sister frowning at me every day. | |
Azul |
Fufufu, it is true that fashionable tastes do vary from person to person. | |
Trey |
I even though about switching it up to contacts at one point as well…
But my sister rejected that completely, saying that I looked sinister. | |
Azul |
You looked… sinister? Mmm, I can't really picture it. Could I perhaps ask you to show me once? | |
Trey |
I don't really think it's something worth showing, but… I guess there's no point in hiding it.
See? | |
Azul |
Your image really does completely change. Your sharp eyes exudes such a cool impression
… …When you continue to stare at me like that, it begins to feel as though you are attempting to pick a fight with me. | |
Trey |
Sorry, I'm not actually glaring at you.
I can't really see my surroundings that well, so it just naturally comes out looking as if I'm scowling. Honestly, it just seems like I don't have a naturally gentle-looking face from the get go. | |
Azul |
If you say it that way… It feels as though you've more punch than usual, or rather, more menacing. | |
Trey |
…I see. If even you're saying that, I guess I'll continue wearing glasses after all. | |
Azul |
Oya… That being said, that does feel a bit wasteful.
Since you also have a nice height… Wouldn't it be easier to simply remove your glasses and look more dignified as the Vice Dorm Leader? | |
Trey |
Hey hey, give me a little break here.
For me, it'd be more of a pain to deal with people when they're jumpy and terrified. | |
Azul |
Ah, there's that trait of yours that just quickly thinks about others instead. | |
Trey |
Haha, stop it. It's not that I'm being that nice. | |
Azul |
Meaning? | |
Trey |
At our school, people are so quick to fight, saying "he glared at me," just because their eyes met, right?
I'd rather not deal with the trouble. I just want to look as gentle as possible. Hahah. | |
