| Taichi | So then. Today we’ll be discussing what to do for the upcoming fashion show—— |
| Operation: “Tailor Boys Strategy Meeting”, start!! |
| Yuki | Straight to the point, huh. |
| Taichi | It’s an important bit to get ourselves motivated!! |
| Yuki | Now that you mention it though, I guess we’ve always been the “Tailor Boys”, huh. |
| Taichi | Ehehe, it's the perfect name for a pair like ours, isn’t it! |
| Yuki | Okay okay, let’s move on. First thing’s first, we should decide on the style direction we want to go with. |
| We could go with a similar style from one of the pre-existing fits we’ve done before, but since we have plenty of time to work with, I do want to make one from scratch. |
| That said, I want to know what kind of outfit you want to wear first. |
| Taichi | You want my opinion on this!? |
| Yuki | It’s not gonna be a costume for a performance, so there’s no set theme that’s required to follow. So, while we have that freedom, I want to hear your take on the matter. |
| Taichi | I’m flattered, but now that you ask me I’m sorta stumped…!! |
| Yuki | Just a rough idea is fine. ‘Course, if it’s a must, then that’d be good too. |
| Taichi | … I want an outfit that describes me. |
| Yuki | Huh? |
| Taichi | Yuki-chan, I want you to design me an outfit that will scream Nanao Taichi and I’ll wear that! |
| Yuki | ——... |
| Well. I guess I can manage that much. |
| Taichi | I know you will! |
| Oh! Also… If it’s fine for me to choose one thing in particular… I’d really want to have something on it that’d represent you as well, Yuki-chan… Just maybe! |
| Yuki | (Something that’d represent me, huh…) |
| … Sure. I’ll think it over. |
| Taichi | Okay! I’ll leave it up to you!! |
| |
| |
| Yuki | (An outfit that represents Taichi, huh…) |
| (A fashion show is still a fashion show, but…) |
| (Rather than going something formal like suits that are the standard for models, maybe something more casual would be better.) |
| (Taichi’s an attention-seeking idiot, so if we’re talking about him, then going with a loud color scheme might suit him more. Something like this…) |
| (And for the inside fabric too. The main color should be—) |
| *PULLS DRAWER* |
| Yuki | (Red. Just like this yarn of wool.) |
| ….. |
| (Now that I think about it, I wonder why I chose red to be that muffler’s color…) |
| |

| Yuki | It’s done![1] |
| Yuki’s Mom | Oh, you did it so wonderfully! It’s so beautiful with this gradation too. |
| Yuki | I’ll give this to that lil’ squirt. |
| Yuki’s Mom | Oh good grief, dear, he’s not “a lil’ squirt.” It’s Taichi-kun, right? …I’m sure he’ll love this though. |
| But is there a reason you chose the color red? |
| Yuki | Mmm….. |
| Because red—— for Taichi….. |
| —— —— —— ——FLASHBACK END—— —— —— —— |

| Yuki | (... I wonder what I said back then.) |
| Tenma | … Yo, what’s up with you? You’re staring holes into that red yarn. |
| Yuki | —You know, you could at least have some manners and say “I’m home” or something first? |
| Tenma | You seemed so focused; I didn’t wanna disturb you. |
| Yuki | Sure you didn’t. |
| Tenma | That design you’re drawing on your sketchbook right now— that must be for Taichi, right? |
| I trust you’ll take care of my office’s kouhai. |
| Yuki | You enjoy being on your high horse? |
| Tenma | Wh— I’m just cheering on for Taichi! That’s what I meant…!! Hey, are you listening!? |
| Yuki | (Speaking of… Taichi said he wanted me to add something that “represents me”, right…) |
| (I guess I’ll think about where to put that part in after I’ve got this base done.) |
