[*Snap!*]

Guy
Alright, got it! Thanks for your hard work!

Yachiyo
Good work.
(This winter dress is so comfy, I just love wearing it.)
(I wonder if I could ask to buy it from them?)
(I'm always saving, so once in a while can't hurt, right?)
(..But before that, let's check the price range of this brand.)
.....
EH-...!

Stylist
Nanami-san, is something wrong...? You let out a loud gasp just now...
Ah, could it be that you want that dress for yourself?

Yachiyo
Ah - no...! It's nothing...
Huhu...huhuhuhu...
(It's so expensive, I couldn't help but let my voice out...)
(With my fees, there's just no affording it...)
(It's unfortunate, but I'll have to let this one go...)

<Several weeks later>

Iroha
Yachiyo-san, the mail arrived.

Yachiyo
Ahh, the samples for my last photoshoot are in the magazine.

Iroha
May I see it?

Yachiyo
Of course. I don't mind.

Iroha
Wah, this dress is wonderful! It's perfect for you, Yachiyo-san!

Yachiyo
Huhu, thank you. I loved it as well.

Iroha
Then why not splurge and buy it for yourself?

Yachiyo
What are you saying? Just look at the price of it.

Iroha
Heh? The...price...? One, ten, hundred, thousand...
.....
EH-...!

Yachiyo
Please don't react exactly how I did. But you understand how I feel, though.
That is why I had to give it up.

Iroha
Uu... But it looks sooo good on you...

Yachiyo
Hearing you say that is good enough for me.

<Even more days later>

Yachiyo
Eh...?
We're doing a photoshoot with this dress again today...?

Stylist
Well, actually, after the issue with this dress was published,
there was a huge surge of reader responses asking about it,
so that's why we're asking you to wear it again, Nanami-san.
Because it's going on a mass sale.

Yachiyo
Huh... Thank you very much.

Stylist
Ah, that reminds me.
That dress, feel free to wear it home today.

Yachiyo
Mm...what do you mean by that?

Stylist
They said it's a present to you.
Maybe they want you wearing it all around to rack up more and more sales, you know?
...That's a joke, mind you. I believe it's genuinely a gift as a thank you.
Isn't that wonderful!

Yachiyo
--!?
(Don't tell me...)
(They found out that I really wanted it...?)
(How embarrassing...)

Iroha
Uu... But it looks sooo good on you...

Yachiyo
(...But, now Iroha will be able to see it...)
Right...! Thank you. I'll treasure it.
