>You're going out wearing that?
>I-Is it bad?
>Not bad per se, but...

>That's no different from the loungewear you always wear at the dorms.
>Uuh...

>Don't you have anything else?
>Erm, the rest is...

>something like this...
>I don't even need to unfold them to know they're exactly the same.

p2
>A few days ago.
>A date?
>...Hmm. Sure, I don't mind.

>Really!?
>It's the first time you've ever invited me out like this, Suuna.

>So.
>Where do you wanna go?

>That's literally everywhere outside of the school!!!

>I-I-I-I'm sorry.
>But I don't really know
>where friends go to hang out...

>Please decide for me, Ruka-san.
>Aren't you the one who invited me?

>Hmm, that's a sudden ask...
>?
>...Ah~

>I think I may have somewhere
>I wanna go with you.

p3
>Back to the present.

>I-I don't know anything about clothes,
>so I feel at ease when I have lots of the same thing...
>So many people...
>That puts you at ease?

>Well, it's better than a t-shirt with a lameass print on it, I guess.
>>DUBAI
>I tried wearing a printed t-shirt, but...

>the print was screaming so I gave up on that idea...
>I guess being big is rough too.

>...Well, that serves today's objective just fine.
>?
>We're here.

>Is this the place you wanted to go, Ruka-san?
>Yep.

>S-So many people... So dazzling...
>I've never been to a place like this before...
>This way, Suuna.
>Ah, right.

>But this store doesn't seem like Ruka-san's style...
>Okay.

>Try these one for a start.
>Huh?

p4
>Eh? Why...? Aren't these your...
>We're here to pick out clothes for you.
>That's what this is about??

>You've got good looks
>and your figure ain't too bad either,
>so I figured I could dress... let you try on all kinds of clothes~
>Were you about to say "dress you up"?

>You're the one who let me decide on the destination, y'know?
>I'm sorry. I'll wear them.

>You done changing?
>Erm... I think so...

>You think so? You're the one wearing them.
>Alright, let me get a look.

>embarrassing...
>...
>I've never worn clothes like these before...

>GYAH!

p5
>Ah...

>P-P-Please don't look.
>I-I-I'm sorry it doesn't suit me.
>No.

>It suits you.
>You look cute.

>Fweh...
>So with that said,

>try these on next.
>Huh?

p6
>Ah~~~~

p7
>Looks like girlish and feminine clothes suit you the best, Suuna~
>How about a full skirt next? We can go layered for the top...

>I-I don't know anything you're saying, so I'll leave it to you...
>Full...? Lay...?
>Okay, I'll go fetch it so wait right there.

>...Does it really... suit me...?
>Hehe...
>...

>What on Earth
>am I doing?

>By the time I realised it, I've been completely swept up in Ruka-san's flow...
>I'm so embarrassed I could die...

>...But

>this might be my first time
>seeing Ruka-san like that.

>It's just like Mom said...
>>If you wanna gain experience,
>>you should try things you haven't tried before.
>Moms are amazing.

p8
>Seeing Ruka-san enjoy herself like that...
>I think I like it.

>...I like watching her...
>Is this how I feel?

>...Wait, huh?
>She's looking this way? Did she notice I'm having weird thoughts?

>...Wait, she's heading this way...
>Hey.

p9
>Let me inside.
>Hm??

p10
>Hmmm??

>>Sefure. In a changing room. Surely nothing will happen...
