Exactly. Everyone who wants the costume pack will go through this. No one is safe from the Shizu hands.

A soft smile made its way upon her features at the compliment from the upperclassman as she replied, "Oh, thank you, my mother tries to keep her office neat and presentable for the clients that may come in." A moment later, the smile faded as she faced her dilemma with Rui not noticing the flustered Shizu fidgeting with the tape measure in her hands. Sure, it's just measuring the lengths of someone purely for tailoring use but... the poor maiden becomes embarrassed merely from little physical contact from even friends.

After deciding that waiting here, stammering like a fool with the tape measure in hand was not gonna be of any help in starting her tailoring career, her shaking lips part to speak once more. "S-Shinichi-senpai... T-This'll be my fi-first time doing this so... P-Please forgive me for my lack of e-... experience." The maiden's cheeks were of deep rosey hue as she struggled to speak, her gaze lowered to the floor.

Not too long after, her hesitant hands started to wrap the tape measure around the male as she scribbled down the numbers on a sheet of paper. While her hands were expertly moving to measure each length and circumference, it was evident from her movement and quivering arms that she was not going to get used to this any time soon. Hopefully, she didn't have to measure people as often in the near future.

Lying on her back atop the bed with a PSP in hands, Shizuka was deeply indulged in the latest edition of this one otome game with pop idols as your possible love interests while the female main protagonist you play as is their composer. This edition had several new love interests to choose from and each individual having their own unique, romantic story. Shizuka giggled softly and blushed from time to time from the cliche shoujo lines the voices spouted. Cliche yet still effective on this innocent maiden who has yet to experience her first romance.

"Ah... These main protagonists from these otome games are blessed from having such cute, romantic experiences with these love interests..." Just as she was daydreaming about the possible romantic shoujo experiences that she would like to have, a knock came upon the door to her room. In a slight panic, she slid the handheld device under her pillow before sitting up right on the edge of her bed. "Ahem... You may enter."

The door opened as a maid bowed before entering, going directly to the point of her intrusion. "Pardon me for my intrusion, young mistress, but a young man by the name of Rui Shinichi is asking for your presence at your mother's tailor shop. Although... He mentioned 'Shizu', instead of your full first name."

"That would be no problem, I'm definitely sure he was referring to me. Thank you for informing me," she bowed her head slightly in gratitude before the maid herself bowed to excuse herself and left the room. "Alright, time for me to work on my tailoring skills."

Upon entering the store premises, Shizu, who was dressed in a casual dress with a twin braided red wig, asked the staff where they had Rui wait for her at. After being directed towards her mother's office, which was usually empty due to her frequently going off to fashion shows and conferences, Shizuka opened the door to the office to find the upperclassman seated at the chair across her mother's desk.

"Good afternoon, Shinichi-senpai! Sorry to have kept you waiting, I hope it wasn't too much of an inconvenience to you. I've brought the final sketches of the designs with me so please pick one that you want first, with your preferred color while I start with the measurements." As she handed over the sketches to the other and picked up a tape measure, paper and pencil from her mother's drawer, she paused in her movements once she was before the male. Shizu started to stutter as her cheeks blushed a light pink color.

This being her first time to tailor clothes for other people, this was the first time for her to take measurements of someone else, and someone from the opposite gender at that. This might be a little difficult than she had originally thought.

Chuckling softly at the other's comment, Shizu added to keep his interest, "For accepting my offer to become my model for these designs, I'll be willing to tailor one costume absolutely free of charge! It'd be a gift of sorts from me." Truthfully, it brought joy to the seamstress at the thought of someone wearing her handiwork that she didn't really mind so much about the cost. In fact, she planned to only charge for the fabrics and materials used if her client was a friend. It wasn't like she was a professional yet anyway. Labor charge didn't matter all that much to her, due to the fact that she enjoyed customizing all these costumes.

While she didn't expect to be assisted for the midterms by another upperclassman, Rui taught her what he knew about the subject she was studying for, English. What gave her most trouble was in the pronunciation of words where the help from the upperclassman came in, carefully pronouncing each words before Shizu attempted to follow.

It took awhile for her to sound a little less unnatural but at least the results were showing. As the little tutorial came to a close, the male bid farewell and a good luck to which she returned back to him with a sincere smile and a bow of gratitude for the assistance. Not too long after his leave, Shizu left the cafe with a few goodbyes to her manager and co workers.

"Phew..." Thud. A relieved sigh escaped the girl's lips as she fell backwards onto her soft, comfy bed. After the exams were over, Shizuka immediately made her way home after a few casual exchanges between her friends about how the exam went for each of them. As usual, Rinko dreaded the inevitable, terrible result that she will receive next week while Nozomi was as confident as Shizuka in terms of passing. From the help of her upperclassmen from the previous weeks, the exams were not as difficult as they used to be thanks to their understandable explanations.

Staring up at the empty ceiling of her room, she wondered for a moment on what she could do with the rest of the day. A little moment of thinking later, Shizuka lifted herself off her bed to grab a lavender PSP from within the closet. "Otome games it is!" Click.

"Yes, I designed them with you in mind since you've accepted my little proposal the last time we've met," Shizu explains with her gaze intently focused onto the male in front of her. Waiting nervously in the silence, she fidgeted in her seat as her eyes watched the sketches being looked through by the upperclassman. What broke the silence before Rui did was the girl, who was responsible for the sketches, reasoning out in case of dissatisfaction from him, "Um... I understand if they don't suit to your tastes. This is the first time I've designed clothes for someone el-- Oh! Really? I'm truly glad you think so, thank you!"

Instead of earning a negative response, the expression of the girl in school uniform brightened at the positive reaction given with an upward curve upon her lips. The question she was asked next was expected as she parted her lips to answer, "Well, I originally intended the designs to be of costume type but some of them are trendy enough to be worn on casual occasions. At least, that's what I believe."

Tearing a piece of paper from her notepad, she scribbled an address on it before passing it over to Rui. "If you're interested in having them made, please drop by this tailoring shop and ask for me, Shizu. My household is at a walking distance away so it'll be no problem." While she didn't mention it to the other student, it was one of the tailoring shops that her mother owns. Concealing her identity from the upperclassman was to be kept in tact, after all.

While they discussed about the sketches made by Shizu, her orders arrived and were placed in front of her. Kenji, who brought her cake and tea remained by their side in case Rui was ready to order. "Thank you Kenji-san. Shinichi-senpai, you may order when you've already something in mind," she suggested as her hand lifted the glass of cold green tea from atop the table and took a sip from the straw.

Once the other student responded positively to her offer, Shizu shoved the English notes and text book atop the table closer to her side. "I apologize for the slight mess, senpai. I've been skimming through my notes for an exam I'm nervous for, you see," she casually stated, before turning her attention back to the upperclassman. Slightly embarrassed at his mention of her slip out of habit, light rose hue tinted her cheeks. "Pa-Pardon me for that, it just... Feels natural for me to react in such way in this environment. But oh no, this set of uniform is another one of my creations, actually." Speaking of which, the violet haired girl had been reminded of something and started to rummage through her bag.

What came out of her bag, once she had located the whereabouts of the items, were pieces of paper with rough sketches drawn on them. With an excited expression upon her features, Shizu slid them over to Rui's side of the table and began, "Shinichi-senpai, please take a glance at these after you've placed your order. I sketched these during my free time, but I'm not exactly sure what sort of style you preferred so I drew what I believed might suit your features."

On them were several faceless figures with outfits that ranged from long coats to suits to turtle neck jackets that were far too unique to be called casual wear. If one knew enough, they would instantly get the impression that these were sketched with cosplay outfit in mind. Even so, the details of each color, specific features/handling, fabric quality and such were written in an informative manner on each design, as if they were carefully thought of. "I do hope they're not distasteful by your standards."
