>>5651326She wouldn’t be… meeting up with EmikoDesu55 would she?
Even she would have more self-respect than that, wouldn’t she?
<span class="mu-g">“Nagata-san,”</span> says Kaiba from the door, <span class="mu-g">“You coming?”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Ah,”</span> you say, <span class="mu-g">“Of course.”</span>
The both of you head off into the city and end up only buying a handful of things.
You buy a new dress, a grey one, apologizing to Kaiba for taking up so much time as the shopkeeper takes your measurements in a private room so it can be tailored down to your size while Kaiba waits.
Naturally, you have to strip down to your underwear for the measurements to be taken.
It’s a dress after all. A body-hugging one. The underwear stays on as it has to be taken into account.
The seamstress clears her throat, <span class="mu-g">“You’ll have to remove any padding that you have in the bra…”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Eh?”</span> you reply, looking confused, <span class="mu-g">“There’s none.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Hah?”</span> replies the seamstress.
Kaiba hastily excuses herself and decides to wait outside.
You watch her rush out the room, wondering what's up with her.

In the end Kaiba purchases a travel-size make-up kit, a pair of jeans, two shirts, and a sweater.
It’s closing in on 5 PM at this point, so you decide to head back.
As you hit the borders of the shopping district, Kaiba speaks up, <span class="mu-g">“I’ll be going this way…”</span> she says, pointing towards a street heading north.
<span class="mu-g">“Ah, alright,”</span> you reply, then give a mournful look as you drop your shoulders a bit, <span class="mu-g">“I have to head back to the office for now…”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Nagata-san, fighto~,”</span> says Kaiba, raising her fist with a thin smile filled with sympathy.
The both of you part ways.
Strange, you could’ve sworn Kaiba’s house was in the other direction.
Maybe she really is meeting with a friend.
