Fujibayashi then continues to take me around the shop.
“Arase, how do you like this?”
After visiting several shops that she often goes to, she was now visiting a newly opened clothing shop.
After picking up some clothes there, Fujibayashi heads to the fitting room without hesitation.
She then tries on the clothes and shows them to me.
She opened the curtains and came out in a neat and tidy one-piece dress. It was a choice that was somewhat un-Fujibayashi-like for a gal, but it was by no means unsuitable for her.
“Ah.”
It was hard to decide what to say about that.
“Come on, hurry up and tell me what you think!”
“Didn’t you say to me this morning that I was not social?”
“That’s not the same thing!”
“Well, you look good dressed like that, don’t you?”
“Hmm. Do you like this kind of thing?”
“No, not really.”
“Well, I’ll buy it anyway.”
A quick decision? What’s the point of asking me?
“Ara, customer, you look great.”
Then the shop assistant comes in. The shopkeeper saw Fujibayashi bringing in a large quantity of clothes and approached her, probably in the hope of getting her to buy a lot.
Fujibayashi, however, did not seem to think much of it and frowned a little.
There are two types of people who are happy to be spoken to and two types who don’t like being spoken to, so it’s a difficult thing to do.
“I also like the dress the customer is wearing. Things like this are also trending this year.”
“Hmmm…..’
Despite Fujibayashi’s attitude, the shop assistant tries her best to recommend clothes. It is a tearful sales effort. But please don’t talk that way. But it’s not me who’s being recommended though.
“I’m sure this will make your boyfriend fall in love with you!”
And I’m not her boyfriend.
However, Fujibayashi’s expression brightened a little when she heard that.
“Ah. Do I look like I’m in a relationship with him?”
“That’s right, you and he are perfect for each other!”
“You heard that, boyfriend san!”
Fujibayashi said to me happily.
It’s true that the two of us came to buy clothes like this, so it can’t be seen that way.
Fujibayashi looked satisfied when she saw my face distort a little.
“Then, please try on those clothes as well. I’ll have the rest checked over here, so it’s all right.”
“Yes”
She then began to try on new clothes while briskly shooing away the shopkeeper.
After that, I saw Fujibayashi repeatedly change her clothes and put on a fashion show.
It was hard work just to say what I thought each time.
“How about this?’
And this time it was a short skirt and shoulder-baring clothes …… off-the-shoulder.
But I still think it’s too revealing.
“Too much skin?”
“Ah What is it? Are you the type who gets jealous when other men see me?”
“No, that’s not it. I’m not your boyfriend or anything.”
“Hahaha, I know!”
“Your …… shoulders are sticking out too far. Doesn’t it slip down?”
“Are you expecting it to slip down?”
“No, I’m not. I’m simply worried.”
“……”
“Fujibayashi?”
“Hahaha, thanks! But don’t worry. These things are made so that they don’t shift!”
That’s how it is. I don’t know what women’s clothes are.
Hmm? Come to think of it, what about the underwear on these things? Don’t tell me you’re not wearing ……?
…… No, no, no. It’s never like that, it’s simply a structural concern or something, that’s all really!
“What, Arasee. You’ve frozen up.”
“N-no! It’s nothing!”
“Hmm. Ah, okay. You’re thinking dirty thoughts, aren’t you?”
“No.”
“Are you thinking about bra?”
“N-no. ……”
How do you know?
“Hahaha, Arase is easy to understand! You care about it.
Heee”
Damn, she’s got a grin on her face.
“Do you want to find out?”
“!”
“Hahahahaha!”
It’s no good. This is too much of a battlefield with Fujibayashi. If we don’t fight on my field, we’ll lose.
Is there anything I can do to fight back?
“Just buy it, will you? You’re not buying it?”
In the end, all I did was to change the subject. That was all I could do.
“Oh, you are impatient, do you? Well, but I haven’t worn anything else yet, so just wait a bit longer!”
Saying that, Fujibayashi closed the curtains again.
“Haaa ……”
How long is this going to go on? I underestimated the girls’ shopping.
Come to think of it, the day we first met, I went shopping with her like this and she made me carry her luggage around a lot. At that time, she bought the ones she liked from one end to the other, but only today, why is she trying them on?
When I was thinking about that, I had a slight headache. It was the usual that.
**
“Ito? What are you doing here?”
It was Nakashiro who came all the way inside from outside the shop and called out to me.
Nakashiro was apparently on his way home from club activities and was wearing a club jersey with ‘MIZUHARA’ printed on the back.
“Nakashiro? Back from club activities?”
“Yeah, but …… this is a women’s clothing shop. Are you here with someone?’
“N-no. ……”
At that moment, when I wasn’t sure what to say, I said.
“Arase! How about this?”
“Heee ……”
The curtains were opened vigorously. Seeing Fujibayashi coming out from behind it, Nakashiro laughed like a child who has found a new toy.
***
“!”
It’s not good! If Nakashiro sees me here with Fujibayashi, we’ll definitely get into trouble!
Even Fujibayashi alone is too much for me to handle, but here comes the black-hearted Nakashiro. That grin I saw in the future. It’s bound to be a nightmare!
I sneak out of the shop and scurry around to check the surroundings.
Then, in the distance, I saw a group of people wearing jerseys like the ones I had seen earlier. It was Nakashiro and Machida and the other guys I played against the other day.
I’m sure Nakashiro must have seen me when he passed this way from over there and came all the way over here.
While I was doing so, Nakashiro and the others were chatting and laughing as they came towards me.
I impatiently returned to the shop and looked for a place to hide.
“C-customer, what’s wrong?”
“Don’t mind me.”
On the way, I received a concerned call from the shopkeeper from earlier. While trying not to be a nuisance, I moved occasionally to hide in the shadows of the clothes so as not to be seen by Nakashiro, who was passing in the aisle in front of me.
Then, through the gap in the clothes, I wait for Nakashiro and his group to pass by.
“Phew. ……”
When the group finally passes, I let out a sigh of relief.
A sneaking experience like a certain game.I forgot to breathe and my body felt exhausted from the tension that had attacked me.
“Huh? Arase-kun?”
“…… Eh?”
The ordeal descends on me like that again.
When I turned around, the girl who had confessed to me the other day was there – Takimoto Suika
“Arase, you like this kind of thing, don’t you?”
And then, as if by some kind of misfortune or calamity,……, it happens in quick succession.
Fujibayashi came out of the fitting room just as Suika spoke to me
“Eh? Sana-chan?”
“…… Suisui?”
“Suika? Ah, there you are, …… is that Arase-kun and …… Fujibayashi-san?”
Okai-san joined them there.
I had a somewhat less than positive feeling.
