Chapter 49: Chapter 46 - New Clothes
After Takei's clothes were all sorted out and picked, they decided to go shop for Akari's clothes next.
They left the men's store and started to move towards a trendy girl fashion store that opened up recently. On the way there, there were many different women's clothes stores that stood out to Takei.
There were different types of outfits, ranging from cool beauty type clothes all the way to energetic outdoorsy type clothes. Those stores had everything that a woman could ever need for any situation.
"So, girls like these types of clothes?" Takei asked, while looking through the windows of various other women's clothes stores.
"Mmm, I guess so... It really depends on the girl's style and what they're trying to accomplish with it," Akari explained.
Takei looked confused by her explanation however. "Accomplish?"
Akari smiled, while also planning to mess with him a bit. "Like... For example, trying to make the boy you like, look your way."
Hearing Akari's tease, Takei began to sweat bullets since he knew exactly who she was talking about.
"Oh, haha. That's nice to know. Let's get going now!" Takei sputtered at a breakneck speed in order to change the subject.
"Coward..."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing."
Of course, the blockhead didn't hear Akari's remark.
After their short comedic exchange, they finally reached the store they had been going to in the first place.
Entering the store, Takei felt very uncomfortable since the majority of the shoppers were women.
Although he became oddly very happy, once he saw some other males that were also meekly following around the women they were accompanying. Most of them were dating, which left Takei the odd one out, but he was still happy to have comrades experience the same torture that he was experiencing.
Feeling a slight tug on his hands, Takei turned to his side and saw a wild beast with fire in its eyes.
Akari was definitely ready to start buying some clothes.
He let go of her hand and nudged her forward.
"Go ahead, don't hold back. Actually, hold back a little bit..." Takei corrected himself.
"Roger, sir!"
She saluted to him and began her attack on the store.
"Let the great shopping haul, begin!"
Akari yelled this out as she ran over towards the different clothes sections and instantly started to pick out outfits to wear.
Takei sat down at a bench and put his face into his hands while hoping that this situation would end soon. Waiting in a girl's clothes shop was too much of an embarrassing situation for him.
As luck would have it, Akari finished picking out what clothes she wanted to try after a few minutes.
She came over and dragged Takei over to the dressing rooms and told him to wait for her to put on the different outfits that she picked out.
Takei sat down as instructed and waited a few moments for Akari to get dressed.
"Are you ready to see the first outfit?" Akari asked, behind the curtain.
Takei sighed and decided to get it over with. "Yes, yes. Please give me the honor of seeing the rare beauty that you were bestowed upon."
Akari laughed behind the curtain and quickly swung it open.
The first outfit that she decided on was a cute flowery design that was perfect for the summertime. A white somewhat frilly dress helped accentuate the innocent feeling that Akari was radiating. In truth, just looking at it was really refreshing.
"What do you think?" Akari bashfully asked.
Takei nodded up and down, as if he were agreeing with something. "You look like the spitting image of innocence. Are you sure you're not a model?"
"Well, I don't have any intentions of modelling for anyone. Maybe if it were you though..."
"Next outfit, please!"
Avoiding the dangerous flag that was about to pop up, Takei hurried her onto the next outfit.
The next outfit turned out to be a casual get up that would knock bystanders out. A light cream colored chiffon blouse paired alongside normal jeans were a force to be reckoned with. Akari also decided that wearing sunglasses would help complete the outfit.
As usual, Takei was dumbfounded when she came out. He was having trouble mustering up a response.
"I'm going to get embarrassed if you keep on staring..."
Akari muttered out a weak statement that melted Takei's heart. Takei checked her face and confirmed that she wasn't lying. There was a pinkish color that stained her otherwise clean and perfect face.
All the other men in the store were glancing over him as well, which earned a slap to the face from their girlfriends.
For some reason, it made him proud that Akari was getting a lot of attention. It was almost like a father being proud of his daughter.
I'm sorry that she's the cutest girl in the world... It's obvious that no one else can compare!
While Takei was hoarding these weird thoughts to himself, Akari had already finished changing and exited the dressing room once again.
This time however, Akari went for a sporty type look. Black leggings along with a light tan colored sweater was what adorned her body. It truly gave her that sporty girl type look that seemed to tell everyone that she was into fitness.
"I've never seen anything more beautiful in my life, are you a goddess?"
Takei joked around as he admired her taste for clothes. They were all very well put and meshed perfectly together. Maybe a job as an idol or a model wouldn't be too far off for her.
"If I was a goddess, would you worship me?" Akari teased.
Unluckily for her, Takei responded resolutely with no signs of hesitation. "Without a shadow of a doubt."
"It's scary how serious you're being," Akari facepalmed.
As their banter continued and more outfits were being presented, the day of shopping came to a close. Akari purchased all of her clothes even though Takei insisted that he would buy them for her, since he stated that it was a god given right to support beautiful girls.
Walking home hand in hand, a lightbulb appeared over Akari's head.
"Are you hungry yet?"
"No, not really. I ate quite a bit for lunch earlier," Takei replied.
Hearing Takei's response, a faraway look appeared on Akari's face.
"Can I show you something?"
