p76

>E-Erm, here.

>if you'd like.
>>snacks

>W-Well then, um
>p-pardon the intrusion.
>Wait, Hana-chan!!

p77
>You asked Shion-chan for clothes advice?
>Th-That's right, Hana-chan!

>I figured I shouldn't just Eiko-san about this...
>so I brought over all kinds of clothes.

>And so I was in the middle of changing Hannen-san when you came in, Hana-chan.
>So that's what it was.
>I totally thought...

>this was one of those incidents that Tama-chan would call an Event Still.
>You surprised me.
>I guess the misunderstanding's resolved... I think?

p78
>Well then, now that we've cleared things up with Hana-chan...

>Let's resume the changing, Hannen-san.
>I-I'll do it myself!

>What kind of clothes did you bring, Shion-chan?
Oh, all kinds of things.
>Ufufu

>U-Um... Manager...
>Th-...

>This isn't what I had in mind.
>Oh, how cute.
>Right, Hana-chan?
>Y-Yeah.
>Um, no... I think this is a bit too frilly...

>I think it's cute, too...
>Yeah, but...

>I think there'd be trouble if I wore this to the convenience store everyday.
>I wouldn't worry about that.

p79
>Don't you have any other clothes?
>Hmm...Let's see...

>How about this?
>Uhyaaa!!
>This is more outrageous than the last one!?

>Don't you have something a bit more simple...?
>Kay, kay.

>How's this?
>I's comfortable, but embarrassing in a different way...

>Then, how's this?
>Nyaaan
>Where did Shion-chan get that from?
>Hasn't the objective changed somewhat!?

p80
>Please don't play around with me, Manager!
>You were just looking so good, Hannen-san, that I just...
>You sounded like you were enjoying yourself right now!?

>Hana-chan, what do you think about this outfit?
>Eh?

>Hmmmm
>Well, if you had to ask...

>I think Tama-chan would really like it.
>Ooh~
>You think so?

>I mean, those clothes would really suit Tama-chan.
>Yeah.
>That's true...

>I'd like to see Kamuri-chan wearing something like this.
>Wah~
>Even if it's just my imagination, that's cute.

>As for Eiko-san...

>That kinda... give a different ambience to everyone else.
>Hawawawa
>Y-Yeah. I'm getting bashful just from imagining it...

p81
>I think it'd suit you too, Hana-chan.
>Eh?
>N-No way.

>Since you're here, why not try it on, Hana-chan?
>E-Eeh~...

>Wait a minute, Hannen-san.

>I thought this might happen so I brought some for Hana-chan too!
>Shion-chan!?

>My!
>This...

>really suits you!
>Uuh...

>She's so cute I wanna take her home right now!
>Sh-Shion-chan~

p82
>Shion-chan! We were supposed to be picking out clothes for Hiroe-san!
>How did it turn out like this?
>It just kept getting derailed.

>I also kinda lost sight of the goal... My apologies, Hana-chan.
>Hiroe-san...

>Since Shion-chan's like this, why not try consulting Eiko-chan?
>Hmm...

>...No, I think I'd like to try a little harder on my own!!

>Picking out some clothes with my own strength is the best way to repay Eiko-san!
>I'm gonna do it, Hana-chan! Manager!
>Do your best, Hiroe-san!

>Anyway, I'm glad Hiroe-san is motivated
>but you were playing around too much, Shion-chan!
>Yeah, sorry about that.

>I was just so happy that Hannen-san came to talk to me about this....
>I just got too full of myself.

>ah...
>I see... Just a little girl, she wouldn't had thought about doing something like this with everyone...

p83
>Hannen-san, I'll do it properly next time, so will you consult me again sometime?
>Y-Yes! Thank you, Manager!
>Yeah... It'd be nice if more things like this could happen...

>Hiroe-san, you can also come to me if you need any advice!
>Hana-chan...

>Oh yeah... It's something a little different...
>but there's something I wanted to ask you right now, Hana-chan...
>What is it?

>If possible... could I get a picture of your in that outfit you were wearing earlier...?
>It was cute and all.
>Ah, souds good.
>Eh!?

>Oh!

>Hana-chan! Good morning!!
>Lovely weather we're having today!

>Ah, Tama-chan. Good meowning.
>Nyan.
>Nyan?
