Sakaki Yumiko, being the one from Mihama Academy who spent the most time cooped up in her dorm and had the worst stamina, unfortunately ran out of energy during their date yesterday. She was defeated by noon, and after they had lunch at a restaurant, Jhin took her back to the dorms.
She was still carrying two bags of the "reward" she had promised Jhin, and she vowed that on their next date, she would be the one to wear him out.
As a girl, being worn out just from shopping with her boyfriend was simply humiliating! Sakaki Yumiko had already prepared a daily workout schedule, awaiting the day of her "revenge."
...
"Huh? Me?" Komine Sachi held her phone, hardly believing what she was hearing.
"What's wrong, you don't want to?"
"Of course I want to! Th-then, I will eagerly await tomorrow."
After the call ended, Jhin casually tossed his phone onto the bed beside him. It was rare to hear Komine Sachi's voice tinged with such fluster, and he smiled happily, able to imagine the sudden look of panic on her elegant face.
Jhin was like that mischievous boy in elementary school who sits behind the girl he likes, always gently pulling the ends of her ponytail as it bounced, trying to get her attention. If it earned him an angry glare, he would grin wickedly, loving that his little pranks made her notice him and get annoyed.
Komine Sachi had known Jhin since they were young, so she fit this role perfectly. Annoying the cute maid with his antics was a new hobby Jhin had recently discovered.
...
The next day, Jhin accompanied Komine Sachi, who was once again dressed in her maid outfit, to the place she wanted to go.
A large shopping mall...
Jhin skillfully took Komine Sachi's soft little hand, showing his true scoundrel colors. "Sachi, is this okay?"
"Yes. As long as you're by my side, it's the best date ever." The blissful expression on Komine Sachi's face couldn't lie.
Jhin pursed his lips and shrugged. "As long as you're happy."
Komine Sachi brought Jhin to the mall to restock the dorm's food and other supplies. During the summer vacation, Tachibana Chizuru had gone off on holiday somewhere.
The things she was normally responsible for now had to be handled by the girls who had returned to the school dorms.
"By the way, Sachi, is that maid outfit you're wearing a little different from before?"
"Yes, this is a special date-maid outfit that Miss Kazuki gave me." Komine Sachi seemed very pleased with the clothes.
"Then stop for a moment, let me have a closer look."
Hearing this, Komine Sachi stopped in her tracks, placed her right hand over her left just above her abdomen, and assumed a perfect and elegant maid's stance.
The maid outfit was primarily black and white. The collar and cuffs featured a lace trim, and the long black skirt fell straight down with fluid lines, looking elegant and graceful. The headpiece was adorned with a small, delicate bow, while the white apron had a small upturned hem, adding a touch of playfulness to the overall look.
Combined with Komine Sachi's clear, bright eyes, her cute little nose, and the sweet curve of her cherry-like lips, who wouldn't be captivated?
Jhin rubbed his slightly itchy nose and averted his gaze, afraid he might get a nosebleed at any second. He didn't forget to compliment her, though. "You look very cute today, Sachi."
Praised by Jhin, Komine Sachi raised her hands to cover her burning cheeks, her large, moist eyes blinking rapidly as if trying to cool her face down.
"Thank you for your praise. I, Komine Sachi, will serve you with all my heart and soul."
Torn between laughter and tears, Jhin stopped Komine Sachi, who had started spouting nonsense in public out of shyness. "Don't say things like that out here."
"I see. Does Jhin prefer to be served at home?"
"I certainly don't have any... outdoor hobbies."
"Then, what kind of clothing do you like the most?"
Dragged into a strange rhythm by Komine Sachi, Jhin began to seriously consider her question.
What kind of clothing he liked... now that was a topic. In his past life, Jhin had surfed various forums and was well-versed in all sorts of doujinshi and novels; there wasn't a clothing design that could provoke... enthusiastic discussion that he hadn't seen.
But to ask him to pick just one favorite type was truly difficult. After all, every outfit had its own charm. Even the most ordinary apron, when combined with elements like adhesive bandages and nudity, could reap hundreds of millions of lives.
After long consideration, Jhin painfully eliminated many of his favorite outfits and gave Komine Sachi an answer: "School uniforms."
They might seem like common clothes in Japan, but the style differs from school to school. For example, the girls' uniform at Shuka High School is a white blouse with a light brown knit vest and a classic tartan skirt.
The girls' uniform at Mihama Academy was a custom design commissioned by Tachibana Chizuru. It's a sailor-style top with a blue and black bib skirt. The black and blue design on the chest... Jhin could only say it was a joy for the well-endowed and a source of tears for the less so.
Whenever Jhin saw girls in their school uniforms, the way their skirts fluttered in the wind revealing that captivating "absolute territory," he would feel a vibrant, youthful energy. It was something that, in his past life after entering the workforce, he would always secretly envy but could never possess again whenever he saw students.
Komine Sachi was a bit stunned by the unexpected answer. She blinked, finally processing it. "I see. So, Jhin prefers school uniforms over other clothes? I'll make a note of it."
"What are you writing that down for?" Seeing her actually take a notepad and pen from her pocket to jot it down seriously, Jhin grew curious about what she was up to and leaned his head in closer.
"Jhin prefers indoor locations like bedrooms and classrooms over the outdoors. Regarding preferred attire, although he showed clear signs of heavier breathing and dilated pupils upon seeing my maid outfit, he ultimately chose school uniforms. Suspected preference for JK."
He quietly read aloud what Komine Sachi had written. The somewhat airheaded girl finally realized Jhin was peeking and puffed out her cheeks in an "I'm angry" expression. "Jhin, you're not supposed to look at that."
"Alright, alright, I won't look. Why is this written like a report? Are you planning to show it to someone else?" Finding her incredibly cute, Jhin couldn't resist the impulse and reached out to squish her puffed-up cheeks.
"Poof!"
Komine Sachi made a sound like a deflating balloon. Seeing that her intimidation tactics were useless against Jhin, she gave up and obediently confessed, "This report is for Miss Kazuki."
"Did my sister tell you to do anything else?"
Komine Sachi immediately shook her head like a pellet drum, clamping her hands tightly over her mouth, afraid Jhin would pry something else out of her.
Jhin didn't press her further. "Okay, let's get back to shopping. There's a lot to buy this time. Did you ask Amane to come pick us up with the car?"
"Yes, I arranged it with Amane before we left."
"Good thing she got her driver's license over the summer break. Otherwise, we might have had to split this shopping list into two trips."
"Mhm, we were certainly lucky."
Komine Sachi and Jhin chatted while they shopped. With her view partially obstructed by a pack of tissues in her arms, she accidentally bumped into someone while turning a corner. The other person, who seemed to be a girl, staggered and fell to the ground, while Komine Sachi herself stood perfectly still.
The girl was wearing a green tracksuit. If it weren't for the fact that her chest didn't match Michiru Matsushima's, Jhin would have thought it was her in disguise, following them.
PS: Both have blonde hair, blue eyes, and a snaggletooth, what a coincidence (lol). Though Michiru Matsushima's blonde hair is dyed.
