Although she wanted to retort, Hoshimori Shion still obediently accepted the clothes handed to her by the shop assistant, her face flushed as she entered the fitting room. Before Shion could close the door, Rie waved to her, saying, “I can’t wait to see you in your new outfit, Shion!”
Shion playfully stuck out her tongue, then closed the door.
Yet, this dress truly was beautiful. Shion held it up against herself inside the fitting room, her eyes sparkling like stars. “It’s such a cute dress!”
The only problem was…
Hoshimori Shion couldn’t get the dress on.
“Why is this button so hard to fasten…?” Shion twisted her arms behind her back, attempting to secure the button, but no matter how she contorted, she simply couldn’t manage it.
Just as Shion was about to pull harder, she faintly heard… a sound of something being stretched. Shion instantly froze. If she damaged this dress, even selling herself wouldn’t cover the cost!
“Senior, save me!” Shion immediately messaged Rie. She didn’t dare poke her head out to look for Rie, not when she was wearing only this…
“What’s wrong?” Rie knocked on the fitting room door from outside.
Shion quickly pulled the door open just enough for Rie to slip inside.
“So, what exactly—” Rie was about to speak further, but she paused, stunned, as she took in Shion’s appearance. Shion had removed her original outerwear and skirt, but she couldn’t get the new, star-patterned gown top on properly. She was in a state of disheveled undress. Moreover, her skirt hadn’t been put on yet.
In her current state, Shion’s upper body was barely covered by the gown top, revealing the soft curves of her beige bra and the delicate mounds of her breasts. Her lower half was clad only in white panties, leaving her fair thighs and white socks completely exposed to Rie’s gaze.
‘That’s… a bit, rather alluring…’ Rie couldn’t help but swallow, her eyes uncontrollably scanning Shion from head to toe.
Shion only then realized she had taken off her skirt and hadn’t put it back on. She quickly tried to cover her lower body, but her small hands seemed utterly incapable of preventing Rie from fixating on her thighs.
“Senior, stop looking at me with those suggestive eyes…” Shion said, looking at Rie with a wronged expression.
Rie finally realized her gaze might have been a little too intense, so she quickly averted her eyes. “Ah, so, what exactly is the matter, Shion?”
“My dress button… Senior, could you take a look? I’m worried I’ll break it.” Shion turned her back, revealing the part she couldn’t fasten.
“Oh, that.” Rie said, her gaze involuntarily drifting downwards. Shion’s lower body, even more rounded and shapely than the delicate mounds of her breasts, clearly outlined a figure that had developed quite nicely (except for…).
‘I really want to caress them!’ Rie felt her mouth watering. The last time, at the hot spring inn, Rie hadn’t paid much attention, but with Shion standing before her like this, even jumping slightly to attract attention, her already quite rounded hips bounced enticingly in front of Rie.
Rie couldn’t help but gasp.
‘Could anyone truly resist now?’ If not for her refined upbringing as a young lady, Rie would have genuinely wanted to reach out and touch.
“Senior! What are you looking at now!” Shion called out playfully. Unfortunately, Rie couldn’t see Shion’s face, which had turned as red as a ripe apple.
“Coming, coming. This button… Shion, you probably don’t usually wear this type of clothing, so you’re not used to it, are you?” Rie said, skillfully fastening the button for Shion.
“Oh~ As expected of Senior!” Shion exclaimed in admiration.
“Indeed, and as expected of Shion, you look truly beautiful!” Rie clapped her hands.
“Thank you, Senior!” Shion said, pausing for a few seconds, then she stared at Rie. “Senior, would you… mind stepping out for a moment?”
“Eh? Why?” Rie looked at Shion with an air of genuine bewilderment.
“I haven’t put on my skirt yet…” Shion picked up the skirt, covering her face with it, not daring to look at Rie.
“Just change in front of me. We’re both girls, what’s there to be shy about?” Rie smiled at Shion.
Shion puffed out her cheeks, then raised her hands and forcefully pushed Rie out of the fitting room.
When Shion finally emerged, fully dressed, and stood before Rie, Rie’s eyes lit up. The outfit, featuring a pale lavender dress and a dark blue underskirt, was of an elegant, sophisticated style, which actually aligned perfectly with Rie’s aesthetic. However, Shion herself was a cute, doll-like girl, and this blend of sweet charm with the elegant gown complemented her beautifully.
“Shion, you truly look stunning in this one!” Rie couldn’t help but clap her hands.
Shion blushed, looking at herself in the mirror. At this moment, she truly felt like a princess from a fairy tale. It was as if, with just a pumpkin carriage, she could attend a prince’s ball.
“See? I told you this dress would look especially adorable on a young lady,” the shop assistant said, proud of her discerning eye.
“Excellent, I’ll buy it. Let’s look at some others,” Rie said, nodding in satisfaction. “I’ll get one too. It’s rare to come all the way to Tokyo; it wouldn’t do not to have a few decent outfits.”
“Right away, miss! Please come this way!” Hearing that she was likely a significant client, the shop assistant immediately became exceptionally respectful, leading Rie and Shion to continue recommending clothes.

The afternoon was dedicated to exploring Tokyo.
After Shion checked in with her sister, ensuring she wasn’t hungry, she felt free to enjoy her time with Rie.
The Hachiko statue was a renowned landmark. Although Shion had heard the story of Hachiko countless times, actually coming to Tokyo and seeing the statue evoked a different kind of emotion. And so, a photo of the two girls was taken!
Akihabara, the sanctuary for anime and manga fans. Rie brought Shion there to browse game cartridges. While Rie was ostensibly leading the selection, Shion merely accompanied her, as she didn’t own a game console herself. As for those incredibly beautiful figurines… she decided against them. Her sister would have her hide if she brought those back.
In the blink of an eye, night deepened, and the sky slowly grew dark.
Holding her still-unfinished milk tea, Shion, while Rie was scrolling through her phone to decide their next destination, couldn’t help but ask, “Senior, when are we going home?”
Rie looked up at Shion.
“Tomorrow is still a holiday. Could you stay with me a little longer, Shion?”
