Hidden Advice

Kanoko
Huhu-!
I can't wait to show Ami-san this winter outfit
I poured my blood, sweat, and tears into~!
--------------------

Ria
Wha...wha...
WHAT! IS THIS! OUTFIT～～～～～!

Kanoko
It's the latest winter outfit I've tailored!
You saw the design plans earlier, didn't you?

Ria
Yes...I did view them earlier...
But back then it was covered in all sorts of mushrooms...
No, it mustn't give such a gaudy impression...
May I ask why such a change?

Kanoko
Yeah, it was all thanks to your advice, Ami-san!

Ria
M-mine, you say!?
(T-that shouldn't be the case, because...)

-Flashback-

Ria
Kamihama Winter Fashion Contest?

Kanoko
Right!
This time I'm thinking of applying to the high school group!
I'm wanting to get a bunch of ideas together so I can get good results...

Ria
I see, and you called me knowing I'm an active model.

Kanoko
Yes!
If I get opinions from the fashionista Ami-san, then I can give it 110 percent!

Ria
Huhu, if you talk me up that much then there's no helping it.
I'd be delighted to offer you my assistance. Oooh ho ho ho!

Ria
[This winter, oversized knits like this are in vogue.]
[But, if you're entering a contest, why not make your own stylish coordination that rather than following trends, aims to set them instead?]
[That way we can make use of our model's figure, and though it's designated for high school, will still be quite the head turner.]

Kanoko
I see, stylish... Alright!

---

Kanoko
Come see my rough sketch! The theme is cool, grown-up coordination.

Ria
…………
Well, it is heading in the right direction.
First off, would you kindly remove the shiitake protruding from the cuffs and shoulders?

Kanoko
They're king trumpets, but... Would it feel more stylish without them?

Ria
Yes, very much so! Absolutely certain of it!
After that... The overall feel of it is stuffy.
Perhaps change the jacket color from black to purple and show a little more skin.
In doing so, I think the theme would be better expressed.

Kanoko
Understood!
Then I'll just arrange this part into something like this...

---

Kanoko
I fixed it up using your suggestions, Ami-san!

Ria
Let me see...
(With my advice, the design has become more refined.)
(And may I say, Yayoi-san...)
(You are exceptional at applying the ideas of others into your designs.)
(My opinion of you has improved a little!)

Kanoko
...How is it?

Ria
Not bad by any means.
All that's left is to accent it with a hairpin, and it's most excellent!

Kanoko
You really mean it!?

Ria
Yes, and with you as its model, it will brim with style.
Well, for a supermodel like me it's a little mediocre though...

Kanoko
Thank you so much!
Because of all your help I'll make a winter outfit that glimmers with fashion sense.

Ria
Huhu, you're welcome.
Right, could you kindly show me the outfit once it's completed?
It does incorporate my ideas, after all...
If the presence it gives is just right, I may even wear it for you.

-End Flashback-

Ria
(Thinking back on it, I don't believe I said anything strange...)

Kanoko
At any rate, you were a huge help!
I finally reached this design all thanks to your help, Ami-san.
No matter how much I drew, not a thing jumped out at me,
but with the hint you left, a major breakthrough dawned on me!

Ria
Hint...?

Kanoko
Ami-san, you said it yourself, didn't you!?

-Flashback-

Ria
Well, for a supermodel like me it's a little mediocre though...

-End Flashback-

Kanoko
What you meant was... "Don't be satisfied with a mediocre design."
"If I want to place first, then I need to aim to reach that level!"
...That's the advice you gave!

Ria
...Eh?

Kanoko
That's why I put all my heart and soul into coming up with this idea...
To cover it with loo~oots of colorful mushrooms!

Ria
EHHH～～～～～～～～～！

Kanoko
Nonchalantly tossing a hint at me like that... Such fashion sense...it's so you!

Ria
(Then... This unholy abomination of a design was due to a single word from me...)

Kanoko
I think it's even up to your level, Ami-san!

Ria
Hie!?

Kanoko
So then, please try on this outfit!

Ria
NOOOOOOOOOO~~~~!
