Chapter 11 – Are You on a Date?
Saturday—I promised Tsumugi that we would go shopping today.
“Nii-san, shall we get going?”
“Wait a minute.”
Around noon, I saw Tsumugi getting ready to go out and I waited for her.
“Is something wrong?”
“Um, why are you wearing a uniform?”
Tsumugi was wearing the same uniform she would wear to school.
“I don’t have casual clothes that I can wear outside, uniforms are very useful in that respect. I can go anywhere without looking out of place.”
“Even if you say that…”
It’s not that she looks bad in uniform. She looks rather good and I would say that she wears the uniform best in our school.
But a high school girl wearing a uniform for an outing on a weekend?
Come to think of it, the character illustrations in games only had uniforms… Is that the reason behind it?
…It’s probably due to budget constraints…
Putting that aside, it’s true that Tsumugi hasn’t spent money on herself.
It seems that she, who naturally possesses outstanding qualities and could become the number one beauty in the school just as she is, is completely indifferent when it comes to fashion.
“Do I not look good in uniform…?”
“Well, you don’t look bad in it…”
“W-What should I do… I don’t have any other clothes…”
“Let’s go buy some.”
The first destination for today has been decided.
We immediately left the house and started walking together.
“But Nii-san, I don’t know any clothes shops.”
“It’s okay. I know a place, I’ll show you.”
Thanks to Takuma’s frequent outings, he is familiar with the shops and facilities in the neighborhood.
It’s not nice to have a different woman next to you every time you look into your memory, and it’s strange to know a place you’ve never been before, but… Apart from that, I find it useful.
We decided to go to a store that caters to students as much as possible.
“Wow.”
When Tsumugi stepped into the clean and calm atmosphere of the shop, she clasped her hands together and let her voice trail off…
“Is this the first time you’ve been in a shop like this?”
“Yes, I’m not used to it… It makes me feel a bit excited.”
Tsumugi seemed unable to calm down.
My awareness of fashion is the same as or even lower than that of Tsumugi.
In my previous life, I would have been too nervous to enter such a shop. Now I have Takuma’s memories, so I can keep my composure and know what to do.
“Can I have a look?”
“Go ahead.”
Even though Tsumugi doesn’t have decent casual clothes, that doesn’t mean she’s not interested. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as if she was eagerly looking forward to something.
She’s usually very mature, but she’s finally acting like her age.
“Oh, this one is cute. This one’s a bit more daring. The clothes over there are—”
Tsumugi looked around at the clothes with fascination.
“Nii-san, Nii-san!”
Eventually, she came back to me, her flaxen hair waving. She looks like a little dog.
“What’s wrong?”
“I can’t choose.”
“Eh…?”
“All the clothes are cute and very fun to look at, but when it comes to choosing on my own, I have no idea what clothes would look good on me.”
“Oh, I see…”
What she said makes sense.
It’s hard to find a style that suits you right away when you’ve never paid attention to your casual clothes before…
There can be a difference between clothes that someone likes and clothes that actually suit them.
Putting aside the argument that a girl as beautiful as Tsumugi can look good in any kind of clothes…
I don’t have the knowledge to give advice.
“Excuse me.”
That leaves only one option…
After confirming that I didn’t recognize the face of the female clerk nearby, I called out to her.
“How can I help you?”
“I’d like to buy some clothes for this girl, can you pick out a few that you think would look good on her?”
“Yes, sir.”
Phew, that was really nerve wracking. But now I can relax.
Just as I was thinking that, the clerk whispered into my ear.
“Dear Customer, are you on a date?”
“Eh?”
A muffled voice escaped me.
“Your girlfriend is very cute.”
“No, wait a minute! She’s my sister!”
“Oh really? I thought Dear Customer was handsome and that they are a beautiful couple… Well then, excuse me.”
The clerk chuckled and began discussing clothes with Tsumugi.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman. There is no doubt that Tsumugi is a beautiful girl, but I still can’t get used to people seeing me as handsome.
Well, we don’t look like siblings, that’s for sure…
Objectively, this is a date, just like the clerk said.
It made me a little bit more conscious of the fact that I was going out with a girl.
A few minutes later, Tsumugi, who had changed in the dressing room, opened the curtain.
“W-What do you think…?”
The dress the store clerk chose was a sophisticated one-piece dress that gave off a feeling of certainty that it would definitely not be a miss. It complemented her flaxen hair, giving a cool and refreshing impression, making it perfect for the upcoming season.
Miss clerk, you didn’t decide the clothes based on my virgin-like reaction, did you…?
But Tsumugi does look beautiful.
“It suits you very well.”
“R-Really? I’m glad…♪”
The shy Tsumugi, whose cheeks were dyed red, patted her chest in relief.
“I’ll buy this.”
“Are you sure? You have some other clothes prepared by the clerk. Think about it some more…”
“That’s because Nii-san’s face was saying, ‘This one looks good!’♪”
“Eh? I did!?”
Did it show so clearly on my face!?
I looked away hurriedly. All at once, my face started to heat up.
“Are you obsessed with your little sister’s cuteness, Nii-san?♡♡”
“…Uhh~~~”
“Fufu, so Nii-san can be shy like that~”
While Tsumugi teased me like a mischievous devil, her figure swaying in the dress was as pure and beautiful as an angel.
“I’m kind of happy. Maybe I should try to dress up more from now on.”
Then she smiled at me.
What will happen if the most beautiful girl in school gets any prettier…?
As someone who has fallen in love with her at first sight, it’s hard.
“Would you like to wear it as it is?”
“Yes. Please.”
“I understand. Thank you for your purchase.”
The uniform she had worn up to this point had been wrapped in a plastic bag.
“I envy you for having such an adorable little sister. Please come again.”
Stop it! Why does this clerk keep making me conscious of that!?
But really, I feel like dressing Tsumugi up and have her try various outfits…
“Thanks to Nii-san, I got a good deal right away.”
We then headed for our next destination.
