"This room doesn't seem particularly special, does it?" Kato Megumi walked into the room carrying her small backpack. The girl's energetic, fair white feet stepped onto the pale green tatami mats. Jhin stole a glance at the beautiful arch of her foot before withdrawing his gaze and entering the room with Nymph.
Jhin casually tossed his luggage bag aside and began reciting a cheesy pickup line: "The room only appears special because you are in it."
"Hmm?" Kato Megumi paused. She turned back to check if another girl had entered, prompting Jhin to suddenly say such things. Unfortunately, only she, Nymph, and Jhin were in the room. Kato Megumi asked uncertainly, "Were you speaking to me just now?"
"Of course. Don't you feel that the entire room has become much brighter since you walked in?"
Kato Megumi shook her head. "I don't think so. On the contrary, this abnormal behavior of yours makes me want to scream for help."
"Alright, honestly, I just wanted to see a surprised expression on your face." Jhin certainly didn't want Gabriel and Nijika, who lived next door, to hear a cry for help and rush in to tie him up. Those two had been incessantly messaging him on his phone, warning him not to do anything rude.
"I was surprised just now."
"No way, I didn't see your expression change at all."
"It's true."
"I don't believe it." Jhin shook his head like a rattle drum. "Your tone hasn't changed a bit from the moment you entered the room until now."
Nymph tugged at Jhin's sleeve. "Master, I'm going out for a walk."
"Mm, remember not to come back too late."
Once Nymph walked out of the room and closed the door, Jhin instantly switched to a lecherous expression in the blink of an eye. "Heheh, now we are the only two left in the room. Megumi, what are you going to do?"
"Jhin-san, that expression doesn't suit you." Kato Megumi felt somewhat helpless about his persistent antics just to see her surprised face. She felt he was like an elementary school boy deliberately teasing a girl to get her attention.
Jhin-san isn't lacking girls around him. Rather than wanting attention, he probably just wants to see me startled.
"Is my pretense of being a pervert that much of a failure?"
"Hmm... how should I put it? Your gaze lacks that repulsive feeling." Kato Megumi had never been targeted by a pervert, so she could only describe it based on her own feelings. "If you could use the look you had when you were staring at my feet earlier, you might resemble a pervert a bit more."
Having his fetish pointed out by Kato Megumi, Jhin felt somewhat awkward, but he quickly found a righteous justification for himself.
Grandma once said, there are no bad people among those who like beautiful feet!
"You can't blame me for that. You didn't wear socks today, just like Amane-nee, so I thought it was strange and subconsciously took a few extra looks." Jhin seized the opportunity to counterattack, shifting the blame onto Kato Megumi.
"Because Suou-san's fashion and style are very trendy, so I used her outfit as a reference."
After listening, Jhin blinked, looked Kato Megumi up and down, and then retorted, "Aside from the bare feet, you haven't learned anything else, have you!?"
A trace of blush flashed across Kato Megumi's face. "Because Suou-san's style is a bit too trendy... I felt that wouldn't really suit me."
Understood. Her outfit in the dorm is too revealing; you simply didn't have the courage to copy it.
Jhin also felt that no one would dare to copy Suou Amane, walking around the dorm every day in a camisole and hot pants or mini shorts, and occasionally going braless. If there were two more like her, he would have to accumulate some serious merit to survive.
"Alright, asking you to learn from Amane-nee is indeed too much of a stretch. There really isn't anyone for you to use as a reference in our school." Jhin thought about it and realized that in terms of fashion, no one at Mihama Academy could put up a fight. Just look at what they usually wore in the dorms.
Komine Sachi—Maid outfit.
Michiru Matsushima—Perpetual shark pouch and aqua-blue fabric scrunchie.
Irisu Makina—Lolita-style clothing.
Sakaki Yumiko—Loungewear.
Kazami Kazuki—White dress and superb bare feet.
Suou Amane—Not suitable for children.
Eriri—School uniform or school uniform. That green tracksuit is basically never worn unless she's drawing doujinshi.
Kasumigaoka Utaha—She knew how to dress a little at the start, but was gradually assimilated by the others. Now she dresses very plainly in the dorm too. In her words: "Who am I dressing for anyway? Comfort is key."
Just thinking about it was despairing.
Jhin sorrowfully placed his hands on Kato Megumi's shoulders. "I'm sorry, Megumi. I didn't consider that everyone at school is a small fry when it comes to fashion. Come, I'll take you to meet a real fashionista girl!"
"Ah, haha..." Kato Megumi hadn't expected Jhin's reaction to be so dramatic, even shedding kelp-like tears. She took a step back to break free from the hands on her shoulders. "Everyone's fashion isn't as bad as you say."
"Say no more. We're going next door to find Kita." Jhin dragged Kato Megumi toward the Kessoku Band's room next door, giving her no chance to refuse.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Kita! Are you in the room?"
"I'm here. Come in, Jhin-san."
Jhin pushed the door open, brought Kato Megumi in front of Kita Ikuyo, and gave her a push. "Master Kita, hurry and teach this child how to dress more fashionably."
"I wouldn't call myself a master," Kita Ikuyo didn't deny that she was good at fashion. She asked Kato Megumi very politely, "Kato-san, may I observe you first?"
Since she had already been dragged to someone else's room by Jhin, Kato Megumi didn't refuse the request. She nodded. "No problem."
Kita Ikuyo roughly looked Kato Megumi over. Her small face, originally brimming with a cheerful smile, suddenly had its eyebrows knitted together. She then observed Kato Megumi's overall characteristics more carefully, resulting in beads of fine sweat covering her forehead.
This child is actually so terrifying!
Kita Ikuyo's idea of finding Kato Megumi's distinctive features fell through. It was her first time encountering a girl who could embody the words "plain and ordinary" to such perfection. It made her sweat bullets, causing her to harbor some doubts about her own eye for fashion.
"Kato-san... how about trying a maid outfit?"
Hearing this suggestion again, Kato Megumi fell silent for a moment before asking, "Kita-san, did you really not collude with Jhin-san beforehand?"
"I didn't discuss anything with Jhin-san in advance. A maid outfit counts as very fashionable clothing too."
"Kita-san, a maid outfit isn't suitable for daily wear, is it..."
"Hmm..." Kita Ikuyo crossed her arms and fell into deep thought.
If one person can't do it, switch to another. Anyway, apart from Hitori Gotoh, everyone in Kessoku Band knew how to dress. Jhin pointed at Nijika, who was watching the drama from the side, and said to Kato Megumi, "Megumi, that is the Shimokitazawa Archangel, Nijika Ijichi. She also understands fashion. Let's go ask her."
"!!? Don't come over here!"
That night, Jhin and Kato Megumi stayed in Kessoku Band's room until the early morning before leaving. No one knew exactly what they went through, mumbling difficult-to-understand phrases like "Passerby Heroine" and "Grand Assassin" with lifeless eyes.
