"No. No way."
"Oh come on, it's hilarious!"
"Kaede, I've entertained your ridiculous outfits before, but this one… is kind of embarrassing!
"I'll be wearing it too, there's nothing to be nervous about. We'll be a pair of cheeky gals."
"Pair of… cheeky… Kaede, don't."
"I'm not trying to make you the butt of the joke."
"…"
"I get it Mizuki, the humor is a little behind the times but we're going to give it some new gas."
"Kaede!"
"This is the kind of fashion kids are into these days. Ask any of the hip teens at work. Your fashion sense is still so tied up in local news. What did you wear there? A pantsuit?"
"No! Er… well, not always. But… if it makes me look younger, it might be worth it."
"It makes you look beautiful, darling."
"It's a T-shirt. And it doesn't even point the right way."
"It's a beautiful T-shirt."
"Alright, we can buy it, but I'm going to pick out something else for the both of us. Something nice."
Uzuki, Rin, and Mio sat at the cafe just outside the 346 offices. Nana was subbing in as a waitress again, Uzuki still didn't really understand why. That girl was weird, it was kind of hard to believe they were the same age.
She spied two of her personal idols, Kaede Takagaki and Mizuki Kawashima, leaving the building at the end of the day, idly chatting away.
Mio and Rin saw Uzuki watching them.
"You there, Shimamu? It's just Kaede and Mizuki, you see them all the time."
"Sorry Mio, but can you see what their shirts say?" Uzuki squinted. "I can't really read them from here."
Rin chimed in, "I can. 'I like her… butt'? There's an arrow pointing at Mizuki. But I think they both say that. Her arrow doesn't point at anything."
Kaede must have noticed the three of them staring, and shot them a glance while Mizuki was talking. She dramatically ducked behind her and appeared on the other side so that the arrow was now pointing at her. They both continued on like nothing had even happened until they rounded the corner.
Rin spoke again, "For pro idols, those two sure are strange."
