MAHIRO AND CHARMING BARE LEGS

CHAPTER 31 OF THE MANGA

Japanese title: *Mahiro To Miwaku No Ashi*

## Previously

New Year's Day activities were fun and amusing, in more ways then one. Just ask Mihari. But all good things and times come to an end. Now it is the first week in January. This morning Mahiro is in a foul, nasty mood. The Winter Holidays, with their fun times, excitement, presents, get- togethers, and enjoyable friendship are 'all done for'. Today begins the return to the dull, mundane routine of going to school and then doing homework, this done in the cold of January. Mihari comes in and offers Mahiro the scarf that she got for a holiday present to warm her on her way to school. And with that, Mahiro is on her way back to school.

## This Chapter's Story

This morning Mahiro is in a foul, nasty mood. Mihari comes in and offers Mahiro the scarf that she got for a holiday present to warm her on her way to school. And with that, Mahiro is on her way to school.

It's an especially cold day. Mahiro is wearing her jumper dress school uniform, with a heavy winter coat, black tights, and winter boots. Still, she is freezing cold. She eventually meets up with Kaede and Momiji. Kaede is walking to high school, whereas Momiji is walking to the middle school that Mahiro attends. After 'Good Morning' greetings, Mahiro notices that Momiji is bundled up as much as she is, however, Kaede is wearing her school uniform and a winter coat. But her school uniform consists of a very short, pleated mini-skirt, and Kaede is wearing it with only thin, white knee socks and oxford shoes. Her legs are *completely bare !*

" Kaede, aren't you cold ? " , begs Mahiro.

" I'M SUPER COLD !!! ", Kaede blurts out with a smile on her face !

Kaede lectures that high school fashion is all about perseverance, and nice looking bare legs are a high school girl's privilege and prerogative ! Girls sure are a tough lot, Mahiro thinks to herself. Looking at Kaede's shapely bare legs makes Momiji even colder. Momiji thinks that it is so cold today that she had to let her hair down for some meager warmth. Momiji comments that it must be nice to have long hair like Mahiro does. She then notices that Mahiro is wearing the scarf that was selected for her the other week ( see Chapter 29 ). Momiji has the same scarf, making for a matched set ! Kaede states that it is fine that the two of you get along so well. This embarrasses Momiji, but she says nothing.

In the classroom at school, the boys are talking among themselves. However, Miyo-chan is getting steamed up again, so early in the morning. This because she now notices that Momiji and Mahiro now have matching scarves, something that she feels would only happen between girls who are intimately in love with one another (supposedly). Asahi notices too, and says that she wants a scarf just like the two that she sees right now. Miyo-chan gently corrects Asahi, saying that a matching pair is good only because *there's only two*, no more ! Miyo-chan further points out that Asahi never wears scarves, anyway ! Mahiro adds the thought that Asahi is always showing her bare legs, and outside of school, she always wears only booty shorts. That is because Asahi is always warm. Asahi then sits atop a desk, and pulling the hemline of her school uniform dress up, shows off her bare legs ! As a contrast, standing Mahiro also pulls up the hemline of her jumper dress way above her knees and thighs, showing for all to see that she has to wear winter tights for warmth. This catches the group of boys by surprise, seeing two girls lift their dress hemlines up to show off their legs!

Two other girls chatting near the friends see that the boys are anxiously gawking at Asahi and Mahiro. Mahiro lets out a vivid girly noise as if a spotlight was suddenly flashed upon her, and she becomes very frightened and so scared. This draws a stiff reprimand toward the boys from those girls. The boys counter by saying that they *didn't see anything !* Momiji gives Mahiro her own mild reprimand, saying that Mahiro is careless, as usual. But Mahiro seems to be overreacting. She is quivering in astonishment, and her heart has begun pounding. What gives ? With a bizarre, blank, look of vertigo on her face, Mahiro thinks to herself that ***she is being embarrassed just like a girl !!!*** She is too caught up in being a girl; this is not manly at all ! At this moment, Mahiro tries to think of a very manly thing to say, to reinforce the faint and rapidly fading ember of manhood that has just invaded her mind.

**" BARE LEGS ! BARE LEGS SURE ARE GREAT !! BARE LEGGED GIRLS IN WINTER ARE SO PRECIOUS......!!! "**

Momiji and Asahi are quite puzzled by Mahiro's bold proclamation, but this shocks Miyo-chan ! Miyo-chan firmly states that---

**" BARE LEGS ARE NOT GOOD !!! "**

Miyo-chan continues by emphasizing that bare legs are bad for your body when it is so cold out. Further, it makes your legs and thighs get fat. This because the body will begin storing fat for warmth and insulation. Asahi tries to relate, but comes to a dubious conclusion---

" So if you expose something to the cold, it will get fatter ? Then Miyo-chan, does that mean that you expose your boobs to the ...........??? "

***" I DON'T EXPOSE MY BOOBS !!!!!!! "*** , screeches Miyo-chan in a loud voice, with a look of pure terror on her face (Miyo-chan already has an adult-like, well developed full bust that she is constantly embarrassed about! See Chapter 22) !

***" I DON'T EXPOSE THEM "*** , Miyo-chan repeats herself in such a loud voice that half of the class is now looking at her ...........

" Miyo-chan, calm down ! ", Mahiro pleads with her. It is as if steam is now coming out of Miyo-chan's ears. Boobs, huh, thinks Mahiro to herself ?

That evening, Mahiro is alone in her bedroom. She has dug out one of the eroge, erotic manga that was always ever present in the bedroom (earlier, the eroge manga were all given a decent burial. See Chapter 13). After a while, Mahiro comes to a rather dubious, unreasonable, and unfathomable conclusion---that larger boobs are really great, something that both a boy and a girl can enjoy! Therefore, If one had boobs as big as Miyo-chan has, then one can enjoy them. It's then that Mahiro recalls the advice that Miyo-chan gave everyone---

" When the temperature drops, you body begins to store fat ......... "

Next morning, Mihari wonders why Mahiro is not yet up and preparing for school ? She enters Mahiro's bedroom, and is immediately struck with the fact that the room is as cold as it is outside ! Mahiro is under an open window, with her nightgown unbuttoned showing a bare chest, and shivering like crazy ! WTF ? Soon, Mahiro is to be found in bed, trying to warm up, and showing the beginnings of a very nasty cold. Mihari wants to know if this is her plan to catch a cold and skip school today ? Without telling the real reason ( hint---cold supposedly places fat on the body; where in Mahiro's case does she want the fat to go ? ), Mahiro simply states---

" Let's just leave it at that ...........?!?!? "

## Chapter Lookback

Asahi is always making a joke when she shows her fingers in a 'V' formation.

Some of the many idiosyncrasies of Miyo-chan !

So she [is] slowly starting to be a real girl day after day without even noticing it, that's funny.

It’s not really funny, it’s adorable. Though, I can see why one might think it is haha. I’m a trans girl, and I know exactly how she feels <333

Wanting bigger boobs? LOL! We/She knows damn well that she [Mahiro] wants them because she [Mahiro] is trans[gender]~
