After the last time I mean... and since it turned out just fine back then I just... I thought it would be a waste to never wear it again, you know? And besides, it's... it's, um... kinda comfy..."
The other girls just stared at Mioko for a few seconds before Natsumi spoke up again. "Thank you so, so, SO much Chidori-senpai! If you hadn't stopped us then we... and then she... I mean, it's bad enough what happened to you and me but... but if that happened to Mioko-chan too then those boys totally would have seen her whole... um... I mean..." she trailed off, suddenly noticing the way Mioko was quivering with embarrassment and blushing so hard that her face was briefly even brighter than her long reddish-brown hair. Mioko was the one who'd been walking on the right earlier, and who'd narrowly avoided flashing anybody thanks to Chidori's intervention. Her friend Natsumi had short black hair and had already been informed by Akiha, once they all introduced themselves, that she accidentally flashed her panties without even noticing. She was taking the news pretty well, considering, possibly because of Chidori's similar yet far more embarrassing panty-flash.
Chidori herself had also needed Akiha to inform her of the full catastrophic extent of that panty-flash. Specifically, the way that she'd run right over the first subway grate on her way to stop Natsumi and Mioko from stepping on the second, completely heedless of the way her skirt lifted right up to expose the back of her shimapan even before she exposed the front. "But still," Akiha pointed out to comfort her friend, "you did the right thing!"
