Shinobu Akira (Christmas Outfit)

-Emiri's Counseling Office-

Emiri
Soo niiice! Akiracchi, it suits you!
So Christmas Christmas!

Akira
U-Uu... Why, something like this...

Emiri
H-huh...? You didn't, actually like this...?
Maybe I overdid it a little... Did you want to go back to your normal outfit...?

Akira
.....No, it's fine.

Emiri
That's my Akiracchi!

Akira
(Haa... why did I...agree.....to something like...)
(Dressing up cutely...)

Blue Guy
With this I have hope to live on! Thank you so very much!

Emiri
See yaa!

Akira
That's the last client for today. The line's empty.

Emiri
Great, time for a break then?
...Wait, it's already this hour!

Akira
Well, there were a lot of clients.
I don't think there will be many more today, though.

Emiri
Righto! Then let's call it a day!

Akira
Eh!?

Emiri
Eh...?

Akira
Ah, no...it's just...it's still pretty early...

Emiri
That so? It's been slower than usual...

Akira
Ah, aaahhh! H-hey look Emiri-
there's a line outside!

Emiri
Eh!? Then it can't be helped I guess...
...Mm? They left?

Akira
Ah, th-they really did...
Sorry, I must be seeing hallucinations...

Emiri
That's crazy danger! You're too tired!
We're going home today!
Ah, but I was thinking about us having dinner together...
Would it be okay to pass on it today...?

Akira
Eh!? No way! Let's go do that!
It's not a big deal.
It wasn't a hallucination, I just made a mistake!
Look, I'm completely healthy!

Emiri
...I see, looks like you're fine.
Not just your heart, but your skin seems brighter than usual!

Akira
R-right!? So there's no need to worry!

Emiri
I see. Then shall we change our clothes?

Akira
Y, yeah... Ah, but Emiri,
doesn't this outfit look like an undershirt? You think it could be used as one...?

Emiri
But you can't see it, so it's not useful?

Akira
Th-that's true... Sorry, let's change our clothes...

Emiri
Hoi...to.
..... .....
H-huh? Akiracchi?
Akiracchii, you still changing your clooothes?

Akira
What's up?

Emiri
Huh!? Deja vu!?
You're dressed exactly the same as before!?

Akira
Uh, to be honest, I was struggling to unwind the ribbon...
I almost got my entire body tangled up...

Emiri
S, so that's what happened...
W, well go get changed.

Akira
Yeah.

[*dawdle dawdle... dawdle dawdle...*]

Emiri
Akiracchi...

Akira
Mm?

Emiri
What...are you being so slow for...?

Akira
U, ummm, my hands are cold...s, sorry...
Fuu, fuu!

Emiri
I see, must be hard.

[*dawdle dawdle... dawdle dawdle...*]

Emiri
.....I get it!

Akira
W-what is it!?

Emiri
Akiracchi, you wanted to wear this outfit more, didn't you!?

Akira
---!?

Emiri
I knew it after all, it's a bull's-eye. You were pretending to hallucinate!?

Akira
Yeah...sorry. I just wanted to wear it for even another minute...

Emiri
Today's your only chance to wear it... But you can't wear it outside...
So that dawdling you were doing...was to buy some time...
What the heck! I wish you would've told me!
Well then, let's eat dinner here instead!
It's a party here tonight!

Akira
---!? ...Th, thank you...!

Emiri
Alright, I'm changing my clothes back.
Since you can only wear it today, it's a waste not to if you think about it!
Well, I think Akiracchi could even wear it in here tomorrow.

Akira
Haha, not happening! There is no way I'll do that.

<Next Day>

-Akira's Room-

Akira
.....There was no way.
