A PURE REQUEST

CHAPTER 26 OF THE MANGA

(Story Note---This chapter tells of the love of cosplay that Karii Maki has, and her attempts to get Karin Saku to join her in doing girl's cosplay.)

## Previously

Karii Maki continues to entertain her desire to experience many different styles of female clothing. She has had the privilege of wearing a pretty dress, loaned to her by Karin. Then she obtained a female school uniform from Chiyoko. On her own, she ordered and received a French Maid's cosplay outfit. Now, once again turning to Karin, Karii wants to borrow her sailor fuku ( sailor suit school uniform ) that was worn in middle school. But will it fit Karii, who has a bit larger body size and bust ?

## Chapter Overview

In her quest to experience as many girl's teen fashion styles as she can, Minami, as Karii Maki, visits Karin Saku's home to ask her for a big favor. Karii wants to borrow Karin's middle school sailor fuku (sailor suit school uniform), so that she can try it on and see what it looks like to wear a sailor fuku. Sailor fuku's are unlike any other girl's school uniform, and have a unique look all their own. Karin complies, however, the fit of the sailor fuku is not ideal. The tight fabric across Karii's ample bust shows the outline of her bra.

Next, Karii wants Karin to try on the French Maid's outfit that Karii obtained recently. This she does. Karii presses her good fortune by asking Karin to pretend to welcome her home, as a good maid would do. Again, Karin, in the spirit of good cosplay, complies.

## This Chapter's Story

One bright, sunny day, Minami calls Karin to ask for a favor. He wants to come over to her house to explain what he wants her to do. However, they arrive at Karin's home as Karii Maki, and once in her bedroom and on the floor, she bows low to Karin asking for a favor. Karii wants to borrow Karin's sailor fuku (sailor suit school uniform), so that she can try it on (will it even fit ? Karin is smaller than Karii !) ! Karii is emphatic; she wants to see what she will look like wearing a genuine girl's sailor fuku ! A surprised Karin, nevertheless, tells her that she will go and get it. Karin tells herself that such a request is too simple and pure to turn down.

Karin rummages through her closet, and finally finds it. She wore this style school uniform for three years while she was in middle school. Karii wants to know how to put it on; there is a zipper on the side of the shirt. Karii undresses, showing that she is wearing her matching striped bra and panties today ( See Chapter 16 ). Once fully dressed, Karii shouts, " Awesome, awesome !!! " Why ? Because it is a real, bona fide, girl's sailor suit school uniform ! Karin offers that Karii has already worn female school uniforms ( See Chapter 9 ). Karii remarks that yes, she has, but her previous girl's school uniform bore a striking resemblance to the male school uniform. Only that uniform had a mini-skirt instead of pants. A sailor fuku looks nothing like the male school uniform that is reminiscent of a military uniform. Karin says that she gets it, but doesn't get it !

While Karii is reveling in her style accomplishment, Karin points out a slight misnomer. The shirt part of the sailor fuku, on Karii, is a bit tight across the bust, thereby showing through the taught fabric is the striped pattern of her bra. Looks like the shirt part was a tight fit for Karii, seeing that she has a noticeable bust, whereas Karin has been and is now still a flat-chested loli girl. Karii also takes note of the see-through fabric, but then stretches her arms up and out. Lo and behold ! Another fashion secret reveled ! When you lift your arms up, the shirt part of the sailor fuku separates from the mini-skirt part, thereby showing brief glimpses of your bare midriff and belly button ! Wow and double Wow !!!

A very appreciative Karii wants to reciprocate Karin's favor, so she brought a travel bag with her. Inside is Karii's French Maid costume ( See Chapter 16 ). **" Not wearing it ! ",** is Karin's immediate and final reply ! Why should she wear something so embarrassing ? Without saying a word, Karii goes from "flying high in April", to "shot down in May" ! Karin being so perceptive as she is, asks if Karii really wanted to see her in a Maid's outfit so badly ? Karii answers that no, she only wanted to share in the cosplay fun ! Karin doesn't show it, but she is greatly miffed !!! Had Karii said 'Yes', Karin would have happily done so immediately, and with a smile ! As it is, Karin reluctantly agrees to do so, but under such a protest. Karii steps out of her bedroom so that Karin can change.

When asked to reenter the bedroom. Karin wants to know if Karii thinks that she looks weird ? Karii states not at all, that a maid really suits her ! Karin is happy. Pushing her good fortune, Karii wants Karin to welcome her home, just like a real maid would. Karin is already embarrassed to the max. Nevertheless, Karin does the 'Welcome home, Master' routine. However, Karii is nonplussed ! Karii in all seriousness, places her hands on Karin's shoulders, thereby causing Karin to go into romantic overload ! Karii in all seriousness, tells Karin that she is not a 'master', but a 'young lady' ! Karin does a retake, with the 'Welcome, young lady' done with much feeling and gusto.

## Chapter Lookback and Commentary

Later, Karin is somewhat sad and remorseful that the shirt and apron of the French Maid's outfit is so loose on her, indicating to her that Karii's boobs are so much larger than her practically flat chest.

I know I should not look for logic in this manga, but how is it possible that [s]he fits the old uniform of the friend ?

At this point, he transforms [to a girl] every time he isn't with his friends or family(other than those two girls from his club).
