“This is Otogihara Forest Town? ……”
This is the best shopping mall in Otogihara with multiple commercial facilities and even leisure facilities. You can find almost everything you need here. It is crowded with shoppers on weekends and is the hottest spot in Otogihara.
Except for one thing, it is too big to walk around. I don’t come here often.
“The accessory store we’re looking for is in the Lost Forest area!”
Himekane, who seems to come here often, is in the lead, followed by me, Sumeragi, and Shigenawa in the tail.
“What’s the Lost Forest Area?”
Sumeragi opens Her mouth to answer my simple question.
“It’s this big, you know. Forest Town is divided into several areas.”
“Hmmm?”
“The Lost Forest area is where most of the accessory and small stores are located. It is called so because it is like a maze and you get lost in it.”
“That’s a flaw in a commercial establishment, isn’t it?”
Well, I don’t care about the details.
“There are a lot of clothes here.”
“That’s the kind of area it is. If you go through here, you’ll find yourself in the Lost Forest area. ……”
And then Sumeragi stopped. Shigenawa, who was walking behind, tilted her head as she passed Sumeragi. I wish she could just say something like, “What’s wrong?” It seems she doesn’t have the courage to do so.
I wish she would have the courage to share a little of the heat of stalking.
“Is something wrong, Sumeragi?”
“Eh? Ah, nothing. ……”
It seems that something has caught Sumeragi’s attention. When I looked beyond her line of sight, there was a dress. It is a cute white dress with frills.
“Do you want to wear it, by any chance?”
“Nothing. ……”
While saying this, Sumeragi kept glancing at the one piece. I bet you really want to wear it…
“……I’ll distract the two of them, so go try it on while you’re at it.”
“Eh?”
You want to try it on, don’t you?”
“B-But …… I’m sure I’ll throw up. ……”
“Even if you can’t wear it, you can at least try it on yourself.”
“N-no,……, we’re here today to buy accessories!”
“But the real purpose is to make you dress like a girl. If you want to wear it, you can wear it.”
“I-if the two of them find out, I won’t be able to fool them…”
“I’ll take care of it.”
“How could you …..”
“I told you. I told you I would help you. So you do what you want to do. I’ll take care of the support.”
“Tazuna kun, ……”
“Just get out of here.”
“Y-yeah! I’ll be right there!”
When she said this, she picked up the dress with a happy face and ran into the fitting room. Just at that moment, she said, “Huh? Where’s Sumeragi kun?” Himekane came back with Shigenawa.
“I think he has found something he’s interested in. I told him to try it on if he was interested.”
“Ah, really? If that’s the case, why don’t you just say? If Shigenawa-chan hadn’t told me, I would have gotten lost on my own. ”
“Sorry, sorry.”
“Anyway, I wonder what kind of clothes he’s wearing, Sumeragi-kun…the casual clothes he wore earlier were nice, though…”
“Hehehe,” Himekane said with an ecstatic smile, as if she was fantasizing about clothes that would suit Sumeragi in her head. Furthermore, perhaps inspired by Himekane, Shigenawa was drooling, saying, “Sumeragi-senpai would wear clothes like this…Jururu!”
Two dangerous women were born.
And here, from the fitting room, I heard the suffering voice of Sumeragi, “Gero gero gero”. She probably threw up because of the trauma she had experienced while trying on the dress.
The fitting room would have been a disaster. As I was thinking this, I heard Himekane say, “Sumeragi kun?” She looked worried.
“I wondered if something had happened inside…..I’m going to see what’s going on.”
“Eh? No, wait!”
That’s not good!
I don’t know the current state of Sumeragi, but she is holding a dress in her hand. If they could see it, they would be able to trace Sumeragi’s gender. However, it will cause unnecessary suspicion.
That must be prevented.
“Wait, wait, wait.”
“Eh, but”
“If he were in a state of undress right now, that would be a problem, wouldn’t it?”
“O-Oh, yeah! I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
Himekane was convinced, and stopped at that. However, next to her, there was an idiot who was about to rush into the fitting room with her eyes sparkling, saying, “Sumeragi-senpai’s apperance!”
It was Shigenawa. I grabbed Shigenawa by the neck as she tried to move on.
“Wait!”
“Tch.”
“Eh, Did you just lash your tongue?”
“No, I didn’t.”
“……”
This girl is a tricky and unpredictable person.
With a sigh, I told them to wait outside the store and that I would take care of SUmeragi.
After making sure that both of them – (Shigenawa was reluctant) – were outside the store, I called out to Sumeragi through the curtains of the fitting room
“Hey, are you okay?”
“Yeah. …… I’m glad I prepared the plastic bags in advance. ……”
“You’re so prepared.”
I’m glad I didn’t have to clean the fitting room.
“How did you like it?”
“Yeah,……, it was pretty good. Thanks, Tazuna kun”.
“Don’t worry about it.”
So there was a bit of a struggle, but I managed to keep the two of them from finding out about it.
“Thank you very much for what you did for me.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
As Sumeragi and I were walking side by side, I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine,……!
W-What is it…?
Just as I was thinking that, Himekane came in between me and Sumeragi and said, “Ah!” Then, she grabbed my arm and pulled me away from Sumeragi.
“H-hey ……, what’s up all of a sudden?”
“Shhhh ……! Shigenawa-chan is glaring at Tazuna-kun right now…! ”
“Eh?”
When I glanced over at Shigenawa, she was looking at me with a frightening expression on her face.
I’m scared.
“Why on earth?”
“Because Tazuna-kun and Sumeragi kun are getting along so well.”
“Eh?”
“You two didn’t seem to realize it, but you two seemed to get along really well, right? That’s why I think Shigenawa-chan got jealous.”
“……”
If you ask me, it’s true. Because I was so concerned about Sumeragi, I neglected to take care of Shigenawa.
“Thank you, Himekane. I guess you noticed and came to help me.”
“W-well…even though it’s fake, we’re still lovers…? Anyway, so that Shigenawa-chan doesn’t find out, stay next to me as much as possible, instead of next to Sumeragi-kun, while shopping! Okay?”
“Yeah, I’m sorry, but I’d appreciate it if you’d let me do that.”
“Hnn…”
Whatever it was, it was helpful.
“…It seems like the distance between Tazuna-kun and Himekane-san is…somehow close…?”
