"But why?!"

"It's part of the program, Miss Nanami."

"B-but I'll be outside of school! Does the program have to do with things outside the school, too?!"

"Yes, it does."

"Why can't you just tell me what it is?"

"I am not permitted to answer that question, at least not yet."

Chiaki growled as she paced around the room, covering herself with her hands as she argued with the school headmaster. A new game that Chiaki had been waiting months for was finally released, but something went wrong with her pre-order so now she had to go to the mall's store to get it. However, when she came to ask Jin if she was allowed to wear clothes, she'd been met with a crushing decline. Thankfully, the headmaster seemed to take no interest in her nude form.

"B-but what if someone reports me?" Chiaki asked.

"You'll be allowed to carry a purse or satchel, in which you'll carry a special ID card identifying your status as the Ultimate Nudist." Jin calmly explained. "The police force has already been made aware of you, but if you're confronted, simply show them the ID card, and you'll be left alone."

"Th-this is ridiculous!" Chiaki cried as she threw her arms up in exasperation. Her assets jiggled, but the only response Jin gave was an eyebrow raise. When Chiaki realized what she'd done a second later, her face immediately reddened. A squeal erupted from her lips a second afterward as she turned her body away and covered herself again. "I-I don't…"

"You don't HAVE to leave the property, you know," Jin said. "It is entirely your choice to leave school grounds."

"I…I know," Chiaki said. True, she could just order the game online and have it delivered to the school, but she'd have to wait for it to be shipped. Not only did she want to play it as soon as she could, but if she waited, she might get spoiled online. She shook her head. "Is…is there really nothing…?"

"No, there isn't." He informed her, cutting off the question. She whined, and a moment passed before Jin had an idea. "You could bring people with you."

"H-huh?" The gamer asked.

"If you're worried about unwanted attention or solicitation, you could bring some people with you, to act as 'bodyguards'." He offered, clasping his hands together as he rested his elbows on the desk, his eyes locked on hers. "If that would make you feel more comfortable, it is an option, but that's all I can offer." Chiaki thought it over for a bit. Two candidates immediately came to mind, but she still considered whether the public nudity and humiliation were worth it.

It only took her a few seconds to decide. "Alright," she said. "Thank you…sir." She said with a slightly biting tone before she turned and hurried out, not wanting to give the headmaster any more of a look at her ass than needed, not that he paid it any mind. Once she was gone, he sighed.

"I'll tell her soon," he told himself. "She deserves to know what she's doing this for, even if she isn't allowed to say no…"

"Bodyguards?" Mahiru asked.

"Why us?" Hiyoko asked, crossing her arms.

"Because you were the one who said you wanted to help and support me, right?" Chiaki asked Mahiru. "So…I'd really like the help."

"You'd go out naked in public for a video game?" Hiyoko asked with a snort. "Are you sure you don't like showing off?"

"I…I really want to play." Chiaki answered lamely, but Mahiru laughed and gave her a reassuring smile.

"I'd love to be your bodyguard," she said. Hiyoko sighed and rolled her eyes.

"I guess I'll help too, though I'm not gonna jump in front of you if someone wants to stare at your cow tits," Hiyoko warned. Mahiru glared at her, but Chiaki felt better nonetheless.

Later that day, just as they said they would, they accompanied her down the halls and to the door. Chiaki had a purse wrapped around her body that rested at her side which contained money and the ID card Jin mentioned. Chiaki still couldn't find the strength to leave herself uncovered, though. She was surprised there weren't marks on her body from where she pressed her arms against herself. The only part of her body she ever left on display was her ass, which was very noticeable and often got her catcalls and whistles and even a few attempts to touch it. She made a mental note to confront Jin later. Hopefully, she could get him to discipline the other students about their behavior and teach them some decency.

Either way, the three left the school, and once they reached the gates, Chiaki paused. Here she was. Her first time stepping off school property since being forced into this stupid nudity role. She gulped, not at what she was actually doing at that moment, but at what was to come.

"You okay?" Mahiru asked from beside her. Chiaki took a deep breath.

"No, not really." She answered honestly. "But let's go." She finished, and took a shaky step onto the pavement. As soon as she did, she felt a new feeling that was indescribable. She didn't know for sure whether it was better or worse, but nevertheless, they continued on to the mall, which was fortunately within walking distance.

Thankfully, they didn't see too many people along the way. Every time they did see someone, though, they would freeze and take note of the bizarre trio. Two girls in Hope's Peak uniforms, and one that was completely nude. Some were on the other side of the street, but for those that were on their side, once they passed, Chiaki could feel their eyes on her bare ass, and she whimpered. Even a girl they passed gave her a once over and stared longer than Chiaki was comfortable with. One boy passed them on a bike and, upon seeing Chiaki, promptly crashed into the gate. Afterward, they started walking faster, though that only made Chiaki even more aware of her jiggling assets.

Finally, they made it to the mall. As soon as they stepped onto the property and properly into the building, all eyes were on her. The store became surprisingly quiet, so quiet that Chiaki could hear her own heart beating at a rapid pace. She could see many, many people getting their phones out, though while most began to record her or take pictures, some, mostly women, appeared to be calling someone.

"They're likely calling the police," Mahiru said. Not that it was needed, as someone from mall security quickly rushed up to Chiaki, his face stern.

"Miss! Just what do you think you're-"

"I-I have p-permission from the government!" Chiaki cried as she gestured to the purse. When she then realized to open it, she'd need to uncover herself, her face paled.

"Want me to get it?" Mahiru asked.

"Y-yes please…" Chiaki said. Awkwardly, Mahiru moved to her side. Trying her best not to stare or touch the girl in any way, she unzipped the bag and grabbed the ID card before handing it to the security man. He grabbed it, read it, and his eyes went wide.

"O-oh…right…" He said. He cleared his throat and handed it back. "My apologies." He glanced around, seemingly trying to look everywhere except at the nude girl. "Just uh…even if you're allowed to be like that, please try not to draw attention to yourself?"

"Dude, she's naked." Hiyoko said.

"Right…right…" He said, and cleared his throat one last time before walking away. With practically everyone having seen this encounter, most were shocked that no action had been taken, and whispers began to circulate.

"What the fuck was that?!"

"Dude, is she from Hope's Peak? The other girls have uniforms…"

"She's cute as fuck though!"

"Is she rich? Or the daughter of a politician? Is that why she can do this?"

"Hey man, should I go talk to her?"

"Man, even while she's naked, you don't have a chance."

"I want a body like that!"

Chiaki grew increasingly uncomfortable with how many people whispered about her or took pictures. Mahiru gently grabbed her arm, and Chiaki looked over at her.

"Let's go get the game, yeah?" She asked. Chiaki nodded, remembering the whole reason they were here in the first place. She knew where it was of course, she was even a regular there. That realization hit her even harder though, knowing that the boy behind the counter was going to recognize her. She whined again as they moved quickly.

"Look at all these losers, leering at a girl like she's a piece of meat." Hiyoko said. She didn't necessarily feel bad for her, but she was still disgusted by everyone else's behavior. Behavior that only seemed to get worse once they reached the store. As they walked up, someone with long blue hair exited and ran straight into Chiaki.

"Ah, sorry, I-" The girl said before she froze at the sight of the nude girl, who had been jarred enough that her nipple was now on display. The girl's eyes honed in as the hands holding her video game trembled. "N-n-naked n-nipple…?!"

"Ch-Chiaki!" Mahiru cried. Chiaki blinked, looked down, and squealed as she readjusted herself to be covered up. She pushed past the girl and nearly knocked the glasses off her face as her own face burned in shame. Mahiru and Hiyoko followed after her, while the girl simply giggled as she watched the three.

"Naked girl in public, hehe~" She said to herself, and after debating it a bit, she went back inside.

Chiaki immediately hid upon entering the store, glancing at the boy at the front desk. He was excitedly checking someone out, his usual boisterous tone of voice something she could hear from here. Mahiru and Hiyoko moved next to her.

"What are you doing, exactly?" Hiyoko asked. Chiaki wasn't sure how to answer, but when she saw the gamer staring at the boy, she smirked. "What? Don't want your crush to see you~?"

"H-he's not my crush!" Chiaki cried. "I just know him since I shop here a lot, so I'm embarrassed!" She stared at him as his customer left. He scratched at the growing facial hair on his chin as he surveyed the store. "God…" Chiaki said.

"Come on, you know you can't just stay here forever." Mahiru encouraged. "You can do this."

"I know, but…"

"Then go!" Hiyoko cried as she, without warning, shoved Chiaki out into the open. The boy's eyes locked onto her, and while at first a smile formed on his face, it was quickly replaced by a shocked expression soon after as his cheeks reddened. She scrambled to her feet and stared back at him. She laughed nervously. Instinctively, she wanted to wave, but that would once again reveal her assets, so instead she merely shook her head and nodded in his direction. Hiyoko crossed her arms with a triumphant expression while Mahiru just rolled her eyes, stood up, and walked to Chiaki's side.

"Where's the game?" Mahiru asked.

"I-I don't know."

"Want me to ask?"

"Please?" Chiaki begged. Mahiru nodded, and, after learning the name of the game from the gamer, she walked up to the desk and asked where it was.

"O-oh? The new release?" He said, never taking his eyes off the girl. "That…uh…that's over there…" He pointed to its section, and Mahiru quickly rushed back to Chiaki. She pointed her in the right direction, and they made their way over. As they walked, none of the three noticed the girl with the glasses watching Chiaki and Mahiru intensely. The boy couldn't believe his eyes that the girl he had a small crush on, Chiaki, was right here in front of him, completely nude! After the initial shock wore off, he quickly fished for his phone, but once he realized blatantly filming her would probably be rude, he decided to instead discreetly set the phone up to do so.

"This is it." Chiaki said, and Mahiru picked up the game for her before the two walked back to the counter. She set it down, and Chiaki gulped as she was now face-to-face with the boy.

"H-hey, Kaito…" she said.

"Chiaki…" The boy, Kaito, said. "You're…wow…"

"I know…" She said, and, after a moment of contemplation, she ducked under the counter and pressed her body against it. She gasped as she felt her breasts press against the cold wall of the counter, and her red face burned even brighter, but this allowed her to finally remove her arms from her body and fish in her purse.

"Wh-why are you…?"

"I-it's a thing at Hope's Peak," she explained. "A weird government program thing I was selected for…and I couldn't say no."

"I-I see…" Kaito said. "Sorry for uh…"

"N-no, don't worry about it. I'd be surprised if you weren't, heh…" Chiaki gave a nervous laugh as she fumbled for the cash. Once she finally had it, she nearly fully stood up, exposing a lot of her cleavage to Kaito before she realized what she was doing. Upon seeing his eyes widen, especially when he saw her mole, she dipped back down and slapped the money on the counter.

"R-right." He said, and awkwardly took the money and rang everything up. He placed her change on the counter, to which she snatched it up, put it back in her purse, and finally covered herself up again before standing back up. Kaito nervously rubbed his neck. "H-hey, do you want to maybe go-"

"Thank you, Kaito." Chiaki said, cutting him off as she began to back away towards the entrance. Normally, she would've just turned and left, but she wanted to prevent showing him her behind if she could. Unfortunately, the girl who watched the two from behind the shelf got to have the view instead, and was taking a really good video as she backed all the way to the door. "I-it was…nice…seeing you!"

"Chiaki, I-"

Before he could finish, she fled, only giving him a brief glance at her ass before she was gone, and he sighed. He glanced at his phone, picked it up, and stopped the video. He checked the footage and smiled sadly.

At least he'd have good material, he thought as the girl in the glasses followed the girls.

"That was…something." Chiaki said as they began walking back towards the entrance of the mall.

"Got that right. He was kind of-" Mahiru started, but was cut off as somebody shoved her aside and stepped in front of Chiaki, stopping her in her tracks.

"Hey, girl~" The handsome stranger said as he looked her up and down in a way that sent a shiver down her spine.

"Hey-"

"He's not talking to you, so scram." The stranger's friend said to Mahiru as she tried to butt back in. The man stepped closer, prompting Chiaki to step back.

"I'm not sure why you're walking around like this, but damn…you got the body of a goddess, you know that?" He said as he shaped her figure with his hands.

"Gross," Hiyoko said.

"Wasn't talking to you, board." He said, and Hiyoko's cheeks flushed with rage.

"Listen here, you-"

"Back off, pipsqueak." The friend said as he forced her away with his body.

"Why don't you and I ditch these children and go have some real fun~?" He asked, leaning in close as he stared down at her breasts.

"I-I think I'd rather play video games, thanks…" Chiaki said nervously. His eyes narrowed.

"Huh? Video games? Wait, how old are-" He started, but stopped as intense pain blasted through his entire body in the span of a moment. His body froze in shock before he collapsed, and he howled in pain as his hands rested against his groin. His friend whirled to find Mahiru reeling back from a kick between the boy's legs.

"What the fuck-!" He cried before Hiyoko did the same to him, and he went down alongside his friend.

"Big words coming from a man who goes down so easily." Hiyoko said, while Mahiru went up to Chiaki.

"Come on, let's go!" She said. Chiaki looked around to see a crowd had gathered, first from the naked girl, then the man's flirting, and now from him crying out in pain. Chiaki nodded and, clutching her arms close to her body, she, Hiyoko, and Mahiru pushed through the crowd, and towards the door. Chiaki was pretty sure somebody tried to cop a feel, but she managed to dodge it as they ran. It didn't take them long to get out the front doors and back on the way to Hope's Peak.

As they were halfway there, they stopped and panted. It seemed they hadn't been followed. "Man…" Mahiru said. "I swear, some guys are just total assholes…"

"No kidding. Who calls someone a board?!" Hiyoko cried. Chiaki straightened up with a gasp.

"Th-thank you guys." Chiaki said, and bowed. "I…I don't know what I'd do without you two."

"Oh, stop that. It was just a kick in the balls, anyone could've done it." Hiyoko said.

"B-but I didn't. I didn't even think to, I just…froze up." Chiaki said. She felt ashamed of herself, but Mahiru walked up and put her hands on Chiaki's shoulders.

"What if…you take some self-defense classes?" She offered. "There's a place near here that offers classes for fairly cheap. Apparently, the protege there is really dedicated."

"You…you think I should?" Chiaki asked.

"I do. Though, if you do…" Mahiru hesitated, "you'll have to expose yourself to do it, you know." Chiaki's heart sank.

"R-right," She said. "I'll…think about it."

"Alright," Mahiru said with a smile. Chiaki returned it, and Mahiru blushed, before quickly looking away. "A-anyway, let's head back." She started walking, and Hiyoko followed. Chiaki did as well, but stuck behind them. After looking around to make sure no one was looking, not even her 'bodyguards', she quickly removed her hands from herself to unzip and fumble in her purse. Her heart raced as she was now completely exposed, completely naked, in public. If someone came by right now, they'd be able to see everything. That made her pause for a second before she finally pulled out her phone, and sent a text.

"Can we meet up? I need to do something."

"What is it?" Hajime asked as he stood up, having waited at the usual bench. The sun was beginning its rapid descent towards the horizon as she walked up to him. "Are you okay?"

"Y-yeah, I just…um…" She shuffled back and forth on her feet. She'd felt somewhat confident about this when the idea had first come, but now that she was actually in front of him, she felt more embarrassed. "I…I'm trying to build up the confidence."

"To do…what?" He asked. She met his eyes and scanned them. She could see he was trying to keep his eyes on hers but continuously glanced down at her body. She still didn't blame him for it, of course, but with what she was about to do, it was going to be much worse. She took a deep breath.

"Th-this!" She cried as she flung her arms away from herself, making her breasts jiggle as she exposed her entire body to him. He gasped and took a step back as his cheeks flamed. His eyes roamed her body. Her large breasts were simply perfect, beautiful mounds topped by pale pink nipples. She was shaved between her legs too, so he could see her pink lips perfectly. His semi-erection upon seeing her turned into a full one, a painful one. He knew he shouldn't be staring, but he couldn't help it.

"G-gorgeous…" He said quietly.

"I-I'm g-going to be taking…self-defense classes." She explained, her entire body trembling as she could feel his eyes moving across her entire bare, defenseless body. "Th-that means I'll be showing off, s-so…I wanted to practice with you first. B-besides…" She trembled even harder now. Her heart was racing a mile a minute, "i-if anyone was going to be the first to see me…n-nude…I wanted it to be you…"

"Th-that's…" Hajime was stunned, and his cheeks burned for more than one reason now. He rubbed his neck, unsure what to say, and unable to pull his eyes away from her body. Her breasts moved up and down with her breathing. "Th-thank you, it means a lot. And…I'm happy for you. I would like to help however I can."

"Heh…hehehe!" Chiaki giggled despite her embarrassment, but that only made her chest jiggle more, which left both of them even more embarrassed than before. Even so, Hajime also started laughing, and within seconds, the two were exploding in loud laughter. They both kept it up for quite a while, Hajime's eyes locked on her the entire time before they both sat down, and Chiaki was able to relax a little bit. "Now…I guess I can play games with you again since I won't be covering up anymore…I think."

"Well…sure, but I'll probably be distracted, hehe…" he joked, and she giggled again.

"Thank you, Hajime…" She said softly. She finally felt…just a little more free, and relaxed. The first time she'd felt that way since she'd started this whole mess, and it was all thanks to him. She didn't need to explain that either. She could tell he knew why she was thanking him.

"Anytime, Chiaki. Anytime." He said, and forced his eyes back to her face as he gave her a wide, reassuring smile.

And, despite her burning red face, she returned it in full.
