Azumi Hagumu (Swimsuit)

thanks bst, raposarealm for reviewing

Mismatched Collaboration

Hagumu: I got a pair's ticket to the water park...

-----

Hagumu
[Having received a pair's ticket from my senpai in the drama club, I'm going to the water park together with Shigure-chan.]
Ah...that reminds me! What do we do about swimsuits...?

Shigure
Don't you have one?

Hagumu
I don't think I can fit into my middle school one anymore.
Since it would be kinda difficult...
I've been thinking
of trying my hand at a home made swimsuit, though...

Shigure
A swimsuit... You can make one yourself...?

Hagumu
Yeah... I just need a pattern from a book or the internet
and then I can sew all the fabric together.

Shigure
Heeh...! Hagumun, you're amazing.

Hagumu
...I-I'm not that great. All I said was I want to make one.
And I don't think I can design one by myself...
(Someday, I would like to be able to do that too, though...)

Shigure
Does the handicrafts store sell swimsuit fabric?

Hagumu
Nope... They don't really sell things like that.
There's a wholesaler nearby that seems to have what I need, though.
I'd like to go there some time...

Shigure
Wanna go now?

Hagumu
Eh-?

Shigure
I don't have anything going on after this, so...

---

Hagumu
Waah...there's so many cute patterns! ...I'm glad we came!

Shigure
Hagumun... What kind of swimsuit do you want to make?

Hagumu
Umm, hang on a second, okay? I can show you on my phone right now...
Ah...here!
I was wondering if a swimsuit with a skirt on it like this would work.

Shigure
...That might be cute. It matches you, Hagumun.

Hagumu
T-thanks...
………… …………

Shigure
...What's wrong?

Hagumu
...I think this is a skirt and pants all in one combo,
so I can't even imagine what kind of pattern it would have...

Shigure
Hagumun, you want to design your own swimsuit pattern, don't you?

Hagumu
Yeah...I suppose I really do. I'd like to try sometime.

Shigure
If you use 3D modeling technology,
you could view the finished product while printing out the pattern...

Hagumu
Ah...professionals use software like that.

Shigure
If I study more...
I wonder if I could...develop some new 3D software
that would make it easier for you to design clothes in the future?

Hagumu
...!

Shigure
...What's up?

Hagumu
Shigure-chan, since you and I are skilled at completely different things,
it never occurred to me that we could make the same thing together...
[And then, Shigure-chan and I got excited and said "it would be nice to make something together, wouldn't it?" to each other.]

---

Hagumu
[The next day...]
[For now, we've decided to use leftover fabric to test making a swimsuit.]
It's not actual swimsuit fabric, and I can't wear it in the pool,
so I'm just going to try some things, okay?

Shigure
Same, there's not much I can help with at my current skill level, so...
For now, I brought this from home.

[*Clatter*]

Hagumu
This is...?

Shigure
Tools I use for my electronics kit... And some spare parts...
Will they be useful for making a swimuit, though... I'm not sure...

Hagumu
Well then... Let's give it a shot right now!

---

Shigure
Huu...

Hagumu
...It kinda sorta resembles what a swimsuit looks like, but...

Shigure
This part's next. ...I'll flip the switch.

Shigure & Hagumu
………… …………

Hagumu
I-it's flashy, isn't it. It's bright and sparkly...

Shigure
Yeah, I use a gaming PC, so it has fancy lights...

Hagumu
...A gaming swimsuit?

Shigure
It'll draw so much attention in the pool...

Hagumu
Ahaha...

Shigure
Huhu...

Hagumu
[It became clear once I tried it on myself, but sewing a swimsuit seems to be really difficult from the get-go...]
[Shigure-chan and I decided we would go to the store together to buy swimsuits to wear at the pool.]

---

Hagumu
...Still, I would like to make one thing by myself...
And I would like to thank Shigure-chan for helping me...
………… …………
...That's it!
Matching bracelets could be nice...!

---

Hagumu
[After that, Shigure-chan and I went to the store to buy swimsuits...]

Employee
Thank you for your patronage.

---

Hagumu
I'll give this to you, Shigure-chan!

Shigure
What's this box...?

Hagumu
Ehehe...an accessory I made. Open it when you get home.

Shigure
Sure...thanks.

Employee
Uhuhu, you're quite good friends.

---

Hagumu
Shigure-chan, I wonder if she's happy...

[*Ring♪*]

Hagumu
Ah...

-Text Message-

Shigure
Hagumun, thank you for the bracelet.

-End Text Message-

Hagumu
Huhuhu.

---

Hagumu
[Then a few days later, at the water park...]

Shigure
Ah...that bracelet.

Hagumu
Yeah, I made two so we would be matching.

---

Hagumu
Ehehehe...
(next time, it would be nice if we could make something together!)
