"Would she go that far? With her, I'm not sure but if she did…I can only imagine how terrible that would be…"

"Um, Mr Kirigiri?"

"AH!" the headmaster of Hope's Peak shouted as he threw the picture of his daughter he was holding in surprise, turning to find Chisa standing in front of his desk. "Wh-When did you get here?"

"I've been trying to speak to you for a minute but you were distracted with something," she said as she knelt and picked up the photo. "Who is this?"

"That's my daughter," he replied after a moment, gently taking the photo from her. "She's been selected to join next year's class as the Ultimate Detective…and that worries me."

"Why?" Chisa questioned, though she had a feeling she knew at least part of the reason why.

"She's…rebellious, to say the least," he started. "I fear that if she discovers the program, she'll apply to it just to spite me. And knowing her, she'll then come to regret it, but if I try and warn her about it, it'll only make her want to do it more."

"Can't you turn her down if she asks?"

"No, ultimately it's up to the group overseeing the program within the government that decides. They have a few students they've labeled too problematic to join, but that's only a handful, and I doubt they'd allow me to disqualify her."

"So…"

"So it's almost guaranteed she'll become a nudist," he said before letting out a sigh.

"Do you ever…regret accepting the program?" Chisa asked, and he looked up at her, meeting her eyes. She couldn't help but think that he looked much older than he actually was.

"If this comes to pass, I'd have to say yes. Otherwise…no. Of course, the school needs the money, and from what I've seen, for some of the students, becoming nudists has had a rather positive impact, surprisingly enough." Chisa went wide-eyed.

"There has?"

"You haven't noticed?" he asked. "Chiaki Nanami is in a healthy, happy relationship with someone from the Reserve Course. Mahiru Koizumi and Kazuichi Soda are also in a relationship and seem just as happy." Chisa blinked.

"I mean, I could tell that Soda and Koizumi were dating—I think the whole class knows—but I've never seen Nanami with the Reserve Course student…huh…" Chisa mused. "How do you-"

"I was told to keep a close eye on students in the program," Jin replied quickly. "The point is, it seems to be positively affecting the students involved, so no, I don't regret it. However, I just think that if Kyoko, my daughter, does become a nudist…it might not turn out the same for her."

"I'm sorry sir, I wish there was a way I could prevent it, but I likely won't even be teaching her class," Chisa said sympathetically.

"Yeah…I suppose I'll just have to hope for the best," he said before clearing his throat. "My apologies, did you need something?"

"Oh, just delivering the reports for the semester, since I've finally finished them," Chisa said as she walked over to a desk, picking up a stack of papers and putting them onto the headmaster's desk. "We're all set for next year."

"Ah, thank you, Miss Yukizome," Jin said, and Chisa gave a small bow before she turned and left the room, leaving Jin alone with a new pile of paperwork.

However, he didn't stay alone for long. Within minutes there was a knock on the door, to which Jin replied with "Come in." The man who entered was one of the scientists who worked in the lab under the school, though Jin couldn't remember this one by name. He sat up immediately upon seeing him, however, since they didn't usually report to him like this. "What is it?"

"Um…" The scientist glanced around nervously, but Jin waved him off.

"No one's listening, but speak low," he said, so the scientist came closer and spoke in a low, yet still nasally tone.

"Th-The Kamakura project, sir."

"Yes, I figured. What is it?"

"It failed, sir."

"Failed?" Jin sat up even straighter.

"We have been trying all year to find candidates suitable for the project, but none have succeeded," the scientist continued. "Every subject has gone comatose, and…we're afraid that if we try any more subjects this year, or even next year, people may begin to notice and ask questions."

"I…I see," Jin replied as he leaned back and touched his face. He'd never been fully on board with the idea of creating a person who had every talent, considering the risks involved with messing with the brain to do so. Yet the project had gone ahead despite his reservations and now to hear that it had left several students comatose…

"I-I'm sure if we give it a year or two and then try again, we can-"

"No."

The scientist blinked. "E-Excuse me?"

"No. I already didn't like the project to begin with, but if it's leaving several students comatose, to the point you're worried that it could be discovered, then perhaps it's better to shut the program down."

"B-But the funds from the Reserve Course-"

"Can go towards funding other parts of the school," Jin said.

"N-No offense sir, but you're not the only one in charge of the program, so-"

"Then I'll use all my power to shut it down. I will not repeat myself," Jin said coldly. "I will not participate in an experiment that leaves my students comatose, whether they are Ultimates or not."

"Sir-"

"That is all. Leave, please."

Jin turned away as he spoke, and while he was sure the man wanted to continue, he eventually heard his footsteps signaling his departure, and as the door closed, he let out a sigh.

It would be a lot of work, but he'd do it. He'd fight to get the Kamakura Project shut down. He couldn't fight the government program, but this, at least, he could do.

He would do this.

"You know, you're funnier than I initially thought."

Those were the words of Tenko Chabashira as she sat with her current date, Shuichi Saihara at a restaurant the boy had recommended. After spending several sessions together and getting to know him, Tenko surprised herself by asking him to hang out. She hadn't expressly said it would be a date, but she was sure they both considered it one and so far, it was going quite well.

"W-Well, I've been told I'm good at being funny when I'm not meaning to be," he said with a nervous laugh, and Tenko nodded. They'd already ordered and were waiting for their food, and in the meantime, they were chatting and telling each other about themselves. It was at that moment that Shuichi decided to ask a question he'd wanted to ask since they'd met. "Hey, Tenko? Why do you hate men so much?"

"Oh…" Tenko said, suddenly feeling both deflated and embarrassed. "That's…"

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, I was just curious," Shuichi quickly said, but Tenko shook her head.

"I just…have had many bad experiences with them," she quietly answered.

"Bad experiences?" Tenko sighed.

"My mom passed away when I was little, and my dad was…horrible. Abusive, even. It's why I wanted to learn self-defense in the first place." She seemed to go glossy-eyed at the memory as she stared off into space. "My dad would have his buddies over, and they were all as shitty as he was. They'd…leer at me. These adult men looking at a young girl as if she were a sack of meat or a sex toy. It was disgusting."

"How did it end?" Shuichi asked.

"I remember it clearly. We were leaving the store one day, and my dad was angry. I don't even remember why exactly, but he shoved me into an alley and started taking it out on me. I tried to defend myself, but then he started to…" She shuddered, and Shuichi instinctively reached out and grabbed her hand. Her eyes widened as she looked at him, and he stared back at her, nodding. His cheeks felt hot from his action, but he didn't let go, and after a moment, Tenko visibly relaxed.

"Anyway…my Master saw as he was walking by and defended me. He pulled my father off of me and took me to safety. After that, my dad lost custody and my Master took me in, so I started training under him. For the longest time, he was the only good male I'd ever met, so I thought all of them must be trash."

"But now?" Shuichi asked.

"Well…now I've met a few who…aren't too bad after all," she replied, her cheeks flushing as she squeezed Shuichi's hand. Shuichi's cheeks only became brighter as well.

Their food was brought over and even though it was clear neither of them wanted to, they pulled apart their hands to eat, finding time between bites to converse some more, mostly about the various cases Shuichi helped his father with, and how he thinks he might be scouted for Hope's Peak. In response, Tenko pointed out how her Master believes the same about her considering how good she is at Neo Aikido and how many tournaments she's won using it.

Once they were done, Shuichi moved over to her side as they continued talking. At some point, without either of them realizing it, their hands connected and wrapped around one another once more. Tenko felt at peace as they talked for what felt like hours, the conversation feeling more natural with this boy than anyone she'd ever met before.

By the time the server practically begged for them to pay and leave, they were up and out, and still holding hands as they left the restaurant, the sky darkening around them.

"I had a wonderful time," Tenko said with a beaming smile.

"I did too! This was fun. We definitely need to go out again sometime." Tenko nodded, and before she knew what she was doing, she leaned in and pressed her lips to Shuichi's cheek. It only lasted a moment before she pulled away, her cheeks red, but she couldn't help but smile at the matching blush on his face as he stared at her in wonder. She laughed and squeezed his hand.

"Until next time," she said and took off before he could answer, expressing a stupidly wide smile as she walked away, eager for that next time.

"You know, somehow this feels wrong…"

Chiaki uttered the words as she and Hajime walked up the many steps to the shrine. She was aware that two kids were standing a few steps below, staring up at the view Chiaki gave them as she walked. She'd tried to tell them off, but they ignored her and kept staring, one of them even snapping pictures of her. Eventually, she'd decided to just let it go and keep walking, dealing with the kids laughing and sneering behind her.

"How so?" Hajime asked as they reached the top and continued to the shrine.

"Just like…being naked at a shrine, you know?" she explained as the kids continued to follow them. She was sure Hajime had noticed them as well.

"I mean…the naked body is the body in its purest form, so…" he offered, and then smirked. "Plus, you have the body of a goddess, so if anything they should be jealous of you."

"Quit it!" Chiaki said as she gently smacked him, making the boy laugh. Her cheeks turned red all the same, however.

"Come on, let's go," he said as they took the last few steps up to the shrine. It was traditional to visit a shrine on New Year's and make a prayer for the year, which was why this shrine was pretty packed. Chiaki got many looks, of course, especially from the older men whose eyes popped out of their heads at the sight of the nude girl getting ready to pray.

"I'm not even sure what to pray for," Chiaki said as Hajime pulled out coins from his pocket, having been carrying the money for both of them. He handed a coin to Chiaki and she stared at the shrine in front of them for a while as she thought about what she could wish for. Hajime nodded to himself and flipped the coin into the shrine, before clapping his hands together and bowing. It was then that she instantly knew what to wish for, and she quickly did the same.

'I wish to spend a long, happy life with Hajime.'

After bowing, during which Chiaki heard a crowd gathering behind her to look at her bent over, they stood up and, one at a time, grabbed the cord to the bell and shook it, clapping twice before bowing a second time, during which Chiaki then heard the snapping of phones.

As the pair walked away with a small crowd trailing behind them, Chiaki felt tempted to ask what Hajime wished for, even though not only was she sure she knew, but she knew he wouldn't say either.

So instead she grabbed his hand and pulled him close, sandwiching his arm between her breasts in a way that she knew got him bad, and she couldn't help but giggle as she felt him stiffen next to her.

Her wonderful boyfriend.

She sure hoped her wish would come true.

It was time. Finally time.

Tsumugi stared at herself in the mirror of the women's restroom. She'd been psyching herself up for this for weeks, and now she was finally here.

Standing completely naked in the mall's bathroom.

She'd seen several students come and go naked in this mall, sometimes without even being stopped by any security guards, so her idea was that if she looked confident enough in what she was doing, perhaps the guards would think she was a student in the program as well, even if she looked a little young.

So that was her plan. She was going to do something she'd wanted to do for a while and walk around the mall completely naked, not even wearing socks or shoes. Not a single stitch.

Even just standing nude in the bathroom, seeing herself bare in the mirror, sent a hot shudder down her spine, and she had to actively resist touching herself.

She gave herself a few breaths to try and control her racing heart before she turned towards the door. Her clothes were in her bag at her side. This truly would be the riskiest thing she'd done, far above stripping in store bathroom stalls or masturbating during class at school. This would be complete public nudity.

And she couldn't contain her excitement.

With one last shaky breath, she opened the door and stepped out, first only a leg, then half her body, and then finally…

She was outside the bathroom, naked from head to toe. Another girl had been in the process of walking up to her, and when Tsumugi stepped out, she took a step back in shock, her face turning red as she looked at Tsumugi, then quickly rushed past into the bathroom. Tsumugi couldn't stop the shudder that ran through her.

She'd been seen! Somebody had seen her completely naked!

With that motivation, she confidently strode towards the main area, and with a few steps, she was out in public for real.

Instantly, several people noticed the young girl and her bountiful bouncing breasts as she strode across the floor. If anybody looked, they'd be able to tell she was wet as she couldn't stop the smile from her face. Here she was! Dozens of people were seeing her naked! It was a dream come true, far outclassing anything she'd done before, and she felt her legs trembling from all the attention.

Look at me! Look at me! Look at me!!!!

"Excuse me?"

Tsumugi froze in her tracks at the voice, hoping that perhaps it wasn't directed at her.

"Ma'am, can you come here?"

Tsumugi slowly turned to find a security guard walking her way. Her face paled as her legs began to tremble for a different reason.

"You're one of the Hope's Peak students, right? Sorry, but I have to see your card to-"

Before he could finish, Tsumugi turned and started running towards the entrance as fast as her legs could carry her. Thankfully, the guard was too stunned to immediately give chase, so she was able to take off while feeling her breasts bouncing and smacking against her body as she went out the double doors.

If she hadn't been panicking, Tsumugi would've relished in the fact she was outdoors completely naked, getting strange looks from passersby, but for now, she just kept running until she was out of sight and could find someplace to change.

Even if it had only been for a few moments, she'd experienced pure bliss. She would try this again sometime, and next time she'd record it for masturbation material.

Not that this experience wouldn't be enough for her to get off to for a long while.
