MAHIRO AND THE SEASON FOR NEW CLOTHES

CHAPTER 45 OF THE MANGA

## Previously

Mahiro had a lot of fun, more or less, with the activities that she experienced during Golden Week. She got to attend a real BBQ at river's edge with all of her friends, including Mihari and Kaede. However, she slipped and fell into the shallow river and got herself all wet. While waiting for her clothes to dry out somewhat, she shared a rather personal and intimate experience with Nayuta, thereby helping to bond their friendship with one another. But now it is, unfortunately, time to return to school. The weather is past the dead of winter, so it is time for school uniform adjustments, to allow for the frequent changing of the weather. How will Mahiro, and the other friends, react to the new fashion styles ?

## This Chapter's Story

On the first day back to school after the week long break called Golden Week, Mahiro is eating breakfast, but she is not in the best of moods. Sorry to see the break come to an end, nevertheless, she dresses for school in her school uniform. However, something feels different about the uniform. Mihari explains that it is because the female uniform that she set out for Mahiro today is the transition version, the one used between the winter and summer versions. Mihari herself has even changed outfits to a lab coat with short sleeves. Mahiro tells her to forget the lab coat, it always looks so dorky.

At school, in the homeroom class, Asahi gives out a hearty 'Good Morning' to everyone. Mahiro points out the fact that Asahi is now wearing the summer uniform, the version with short sleeves. Momiji is also wearing a transition uniform, but with long sleeves. Each to their own. Miyo-chan has the summer uniform, but with a vest over the shirt (Miyo-chan is sensitive about her larger breasts). Mahiro notes that Nayuta and herself are exactly matched with the same style of transition uniforms.

At this morning's PE class, Mahiro notes that the gym clothes for the various girls are all slightly different, due to the changeable outdoor weather at this time of the year. Miyo-chan wears a sports shirt with a warmup jacket over it, again to conceal her boobs, and running shorts. Miyo-chan mentions to Mahiro that soon will start the swimming lessons at the school's outdoor pool. Swimming in the pool ? Mahiro is struck with a troubling thought; she will have to wear the school's official girl's swimsuit. Ara, ara (My, my)! Miyo-chan makes an offhanded comment to Mahiro, asking her if her boobs are getting bigger ? Miyo-chan asks this because she saw Mahiro undressed after Mahiro fell into the river's water, and Miyo-chan took note of her boobs. Mahiro admits to sometimes wearing a padded bra, but offers the thought that it is Mihari that talked her into doing so. Without any warning, Miyo-chan, coming from behind, begins to fondle Mahiro's boobs, although Mahiro is still wearing her transitory uniform. Rather suddenly, and with a hint of mystery and romance, Miyo-chan boldly states that why not the two of them meet after school today, and take a detour from the usual after school activities ?

After the last class of the day, Mahiro is at her desk arranging her backpack. Miyo-chan comes by and asks her if she is ready ? Yup ! However, sharp-whitted Momiji notices that Mahiro and Miyo-chan are leaving the classroom together. What gives ? Asahi is ready to shout out to the two of them, but Momiji slaps her hand across Asahi's mouth to keep her quiet. Momiji declares that something is very suspicious, so let's tail them. Nayuta invites herself into the drama, and says that this little spy project is going to be a lot of fun ! Soon, peaking around a corner, the three friends notice that Mahiro and Miyo-chan are going into a downtown department store. Inside, the two head for the women's and girl's clothing floor. Once on the clothing floor, the two locate the women and girls intimate wear department. Looking around at the vast selection of bras and panties, as well as other personal accessories, Miyo-chan confesses that she always wanted to shop in such a place, but was never able to muster the courage to do so alone. She further confesses that she is bad about others looking at her and her noticeable bust, but she loves to wear cute, adorable underwear. Paradoxically, Mahiro becomes fidgety, and racked with overwhelming guilt and embarrassment.

Suddenly, without warning, Miyo-chan points to Mahiro, and declares to her that we need to get your bust measured. Miyo-chan begins removing Mahiro's vest, as a sales lady comes up to the two. Miyo-chan tells the sales lady to start with Mahiro. Here, one can try the bras on, you know. Mahiro loudly says, No, no, no ! Obvious, Miyo-chan begins to select several bras that would look good on Mahiro. Mahiro continues to wail that she has repeatedly said, NO ! A ways away, hidden by a clothing rack, the three friends observe what all is going on. Finally, Momiji remarks that they should just go home. She suggests this because all three of the friends who are onlooking, are all flat-chested, and seeing girls being fitted for bras because they now have a noticeable bust, must be a bit discouraging, to say the least. The three friends quietly leave, unnoticed. Turns out the sales lady gave Mahiro and Miyo-chan each a catalog, as the bras at this exclusive department store were just too expensive. Miyo-chan says that the two of them can save up for their next bras.

As soon as Mahiro gets home, she flops down on the couch, declaring to herself that she is so pointlessly tired. Later, after Mihari comes home from the University, Mahiro is still on the couch, but avidly looking through the girl's underwear and accessories catalog. Mihari is greatly surprised, but nevertheless, asks Mahiro what looks appealing to her ? Mihari will cover the cost of whatever Mahiro wants ! Now, it is Mahiro's turn to be greatly shocked, regarding this fantastic offer.
