Chapter 26 Shopping Date with Toko-senpai (Part 2)

February 18, 2022

While I was waiting for my pants to be adjusted, Touko-senpai and I went to a nearby coffee shop.

Touko-senpai said while drinking the latte she ordered.

In the beginning, you should wear the same set of clothes you bought when you bought them. Then you can gradually buy clothes that match the set. The bottom may be the same, but the top will look very different.

“Huh,” I replied vaguely.

If you don’t have confidence in your clothes, it’s better to avoid patterns. Even if you think it looks good on you, other people might not think it fits. Also, it’s better to avoid second-hand clothes. It’s hard to judge used clothes.

“I see.

Or rather, that’s all I can say in reply.

Also, it’s important to know that no matter how good your clothes are, they will be ruined if you have bad posture and walk. So be careful about your posture and the way you walk. First of all, don’t hunch over. Many men, especially those in the science field, tend to have a rounded back, probably because they spend a lot of time on the computer. Always keep your back straight and look as if you are being pulled by a string from above your head. I’ll explain more about how to walk later, when I have more time.

As I took these suggestions into consideration, a question arose in my mind.

…… How does Touko-senpai know so much about fashion? And it’s not just about the latest fashion, but she is confident enough to advise me on how to dress for a normal guy like me. She even advises me on my posture and the way I walk. I wonder if there’s a reason for all this? ……

“How do you know so much about fashion, Touko-senpai?”

“For a moment, she looked as if she was horrified.

“Uh, well, you know, it’s because I’m a woman.

But you’re choosing men’s clothes now, aren’t you? And it’s not about trendy fashion, it’s about clothes that make normal boys look reasonably good. And I can feel the confidence in your choice. She even pointed out his posture and the way he walks in order to make his clothes look good. It’s like there’s a reason for it ……”

Then Touko-senpai turned her gaze away from me ducked her head.

Finally, she looked up and said with a resigned look.

“Actually, I used to be a reader model for a fashion magazine without telling anyone. So I had a lot of opportunities to talk to men and women about all kinds of fashion.

“You, are you a model?”

I asked back, but I wasn’t really surprised.

It’s because Tonko’s looks and style are good enough to be a model.

Yes. I was scouted in Shinjuku when I was in high school. I didn’t get my first modeling job until after I passed the university entrance exam. At first I turned it down, but the scout was very enthusiastic, and I checked out the agency on the spot and found it was a decent one. Oh, I was in an office, too. So I thought, ‘If I can wear pretty, feminine clothes, I guess that’s okay, too.

So you not only coordinated their clothes, but you also pointed out how they should walk. How long did you do that?”

“It’s just for the last year. I was in a few magazines under the name “SAKURAKO.”

Does that mean you’re not doing it now?

No. I didn’t want to lose my normal student life because my name had become more popular than I thought. Besides, around spring, the people at the agency asked me if I wanted to try gravure modeling. I had no intention of going that far.

It’s true that Touko-senpai has a style that can be used as a gravure model.

Her body is slender, but her breasts are large.

It’s an ideal style for men.

“I’m begging you, don’t tell anyone. I’ve been keeping it a secret for so long.

Touko-senpai gave me a pleading look.

I’ve been keeping it a secret for a long time,” she said with a pleading look.

Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.

Then I wondered again.

If you were a fashion model, you didn’t have to ask me, there were plenty of cute girls and you could have dressed like one.

But Touko-senpai shook her head left and right.

I was more in charge of chic fashion. I’ve been in charge of chic fashion most of the time, so I’ve never had any luck with ”girlie, ‘girlie’ fashion. And I don’t want to know about “girls who dress pretty”, I want to know about “girls who are cute and whom boys want to protect”.

I see. Just because you’re beautiful doesn’t mean that everything will go well.

After waiting for about an hour, we went back to ZU, picked up our clothes and headed home.

On the train, I thanked Touko-senpai.

Thank you very much for today. Thanks to you, I was able to make three sets of clothes that I’m confident in.

After all, it was clothes that had been chosen by Touko-senpai.

There’s no doubt about it.

It’s my pleasure. It was the first time for me to pick out clothes for a boy. It was quite fun.

She replied with a bright smile.

When I saw that, I felt something soothing.

Can you pick out some winter clothes for me next time when you have time?

“Sure, X-Day is in winter and I’ll have to make sure I’m ready for that.”

After saying that, she pointed a small finger at me.

But first, don’t forget your ‘reward’.

“Don’t worry. I’m working on it.

When do you think you can show me?

Well, I don’t have enough samples, so I’d like to hear from some of the other guys.

“Hey, don’t spread the word too much. I’d be embarrassed if I was exposed to!”

“Oh, I’m sorry. You’re right, but I’m not the only one with an opinion.

“Just tell me what you like about those girls, Isshiki-kun.”

I understand. I’ll let you know next Monday.

“I refuse. If I wasn’t so suspicious, I’d think you’d go around looking for opinions on the internet.”

I laughed bitterly.

In fact, I had half a mind to do so.
