Ever since she was little, Nanako wanted to work at Junes, and as soon as she was old enough to, she took a job there.

Of course, it wasn't as glamorous as a child would expect, but it wasn't a bad job either. Customers were fairly nice most of the time, her coworkers were great, the only major hang up was one of her floor managers, a big man who seemed intent on looking for every little thing he could to write someone up. He was clearly a person who'd let his little amount of power go to his head. Thankfully, despite him always looking for trouble, he wasn't very observant, which would come to benefit her in the day to come.

Another important detail to note was that in the years since she was a child, Junes had grown to be multiple stories, becoming a supercenter that, while unfortunately bankrupting a lot of small businesses in town, came to be a hub for shoppers both from town and out of it.

Nanako was doing her usual as she placed various boxes of items on top of a two-wheeler. Her job at Junes was a rotation between working the register and stocking the shelves. She was currently alone in the back room getting ready to take some rather heavy boxes of items to the front to start stocking. It should've been a normal affair, but with the girl's old pair of jeans that she shouldn't have been wearing that day, it eventually became anything but as she finished loading up the boxes and prepared to head through the double doors.

As she was about to head out, she took one step, and felt her jeans get snagged on something that stopped her dead in her tracks. She turned and looked down to see she was stuck on a pallet, a splinter of wood caught in her ankle.

Her jeans were old and fraying, and had a lot of small, tiny holes in them. It was technically against the dress code to wear something like that, but her floor manager hardly ever noticed, and when she was behind the register, her legs were hidden from customers, so they didn't notice either. She'd never had a problem with them, so she simply shrugged and knelt to try and pull it off.

In doing so, however, the snagged pants tore right before her eyes. A full inch of her pants ripped, and she froze, eyes wide.

"Shit," she cursed, only doing so because no one was around. She continued slowly lowering herself down, but as she did so, the pants tore more and more, and by the time she could grab it, the rip was a full three inches. She was sure even her boss would be able to notice that.

She swore some more as she tried to pull the pants off, her panic increasing as in order to change, she'd need to leave the store and go to her car, which her boss would never let her do. She tugged and tugged, surprised at the tight hold it had on her pants before it finally gave. She fell back as nearly the entire pant leg came off, reducing that side of her jeans to that of shorts, the now frayed end sitting several inches above her knee. Even during the summer, that was way off dress code. Her panic increased as she stood up, only for her other leg to get caught on another pallet.

"Stupid wooden splinters!" she hissed as she leaned down, and the same series of events happened almost identically as before, to where by the time she pulled away and slammed against the wall, both legs of her pants were gone, leaving her in what could now be called shorts. She couldn't help but blush a bit at her now exposed, slender legs, and as she reached for the strips of denim, she heard a voice.

"What do you think you're doing?"

She closed her eyes and winced as she heard footsteps approaching, and when she opened her eyes, she found a man standing before her, his girth intimidating despite the fact that he was a relatively short man. His slightly pudgy face held an expression of anger as she could see it was her floor manager, Bob.

"Sir, I can-"

"You know you can't wear shorts unless specifically specified! You know I'll have to write you up for this if you can't immediately change," he said, and waited. She knew he'd never let her leave unless she was on her break, even to go to the car, so she sighed, annoyed that the sleazy man was able to see her legs.

"I-I can't, sir…" she said, and the man huffed as he turned and walked away. She groaned once he was gone. It wasn't a big deal since it would be her first write-up in months, but it still hurt. She once again glanced down at her now ruined pants, sighing.

At least it wasn't that bad. Better than having a ripped shirt, she supposed.

Though she was unaware it would only be the start of her misery that day.

Nanako was finally able to head out to the first floor, which contained all the groceries and other food supplies of the store, wheeling the two-wheeler out through the double doors as she let out another sigh. As she passed through the doors however, a loose thread on her shirt got caught, and though the girl didn't notice, with every step she took, her shirt began to unravel. Her shirt wasn't as old as her pants, but it was still a shirt she'd had for a long time, and had frayed several times in the past, much to her annoyance. She kept wearing it though, since it had been a gift from Yu.

She walked around the floor, depositing the various items she had from her boxes onto the shelves before continuing on. This process led to her shirt becoming more and more unraveled, exposing her stomach at a fairly rapid pace as pieces of the shirt fell off, fluttering to the floor, all without Nanako noticing. Being a retail worker who always tried to get around the rules, she had a small earbud in her ear that was hidden by her hair, and was playing music for her, allowing her to somewhat disassociate while she stocked. It was low enough she was still able to hear customers, but kept her distracted enough for her not to notice her rapidly deteriorating outfit.

By the time she got to the bottom of her two-wheeler, nearly half of her shirt was gone, and she was about to head back when someone tapped her on the arm. She quickly pressed on the earbud to pause and turned to look at the person who had been trying to get her attention, putting on her best smile. "Yes?"

"Um, young lady," the woman said, frowning. "You seem to have gotten…caught," she said as she gestured down. Nanako finally looked down, and was shocked to see that her shirt was so frayed that her bra was almost visible. She shrieked as she covered up her stomach, glancing around to make sure no associates, or even worse, her manager, were around.

"S-Sorry, I must've…um…!" she flustered, before turning and running, abandoning the two-wheeler as she attempted to get back to the back room before she was seen by anyone else.

Just as she was about to make it back to the back room, she nearly ran over a kid, who, when she froze in place in front of him, looked her up and down before smirking.

"Aren't you supposed to be more covered up?" he asked, something in his tone immediately telling Nanako he wasn't someone she should be messing with.

"That's, uh…h-hey!" she cried as he suddenly grabbed at her pants, pulling at both her button and her zipper. Her own hands immediately shot down to meet his as he laughed maniacally, as if they were playing a game.

Despite the fact she was an adult and he was a child, he was surprisingly strong, and they went back and forth for a while before something finally gave, and before she knew it, he was holding both the button from her pants and the torn zipper. She stared down at her now loose pants in shock for a moment before she looked back up, only to see the kid had taken off. She took a step in his direction only for her pants to fall to her ankles, leaving her cotton white panties on full display. Her face turned bright red as she bent down to pick them back up, looking around to make sure nobody saw her.

She continued her rush to the back, holding up her pants with a hand as she burst through the doors, only to hear a voice that made her stomach drop.

"So, as you'll see as we're coming up here…"

It was Bob. Nanako quickly looked in either direction before taking off towards a small alcove between shelves, obscured somewhat by darkness. She stumbled along barely able to keep her pants up as she went around the corner, and they snagged on a box. Nanako quietly cursed as she tried to pull it free, but as Bob's voice and footsteps came closer and closer, Nanako made a split second panic decision to let them fall and kick them off her feet, diving between the shelves just in time.

As Bob came around, she prayed he wouldn't notice the pants—or rather shorts—hanging off the box as he talked with someone she couldn't see. Her face was burning as, even though no one could see, she hand a hand over her panties, the only thing she now wore on her lower half.

Unfortunately, her prayers went nowhere as she heard Bob stop, and then saw her pants vanish in an instant. She winced as he complained about people leaving their stuff around, and then to her horror, she heard him say he would put it in his office until he found out who it belonged to, and his footsteps went away, taking Nanako's pants with him and now leaving her indecent. She had no idea what she was going to do. She had spare clothes in her car, just in case, but leaving the store with only panties from the waist down…the mere thought made her face red. And the alternative, trying to get into Bob's office to get her pants back also seemed like a horrible idea. If he saw her, not only would it be embarrassing but he'd totally fire her on the spot!

As she debated what to do, she had no idea things were about to get much, much worse.

With her boss now gone and unsure what to do, Nanako stood up. As she did so, however, she felt a bit of resistance, and although she couldn't tell why at first, she tried to move and felt it. A feeling that made the blood drain from her face.

She looked down slowly to see that now her panties were caught on a pallet on the shelf.

"You've got to be kidding me," she said. "Please no no no…" She leaned down and slowly grabbed the piece of her underwear that was stuck, currently pulling away from her and exposing some of her V. Her face was still burning as she couldn't help but continuously glance around in fear that someone could see her.

She gently pulled on the trapped underwear, only to hear a light tear. Her eyes widened as she hissed and tried pulling again, only to hear another tear.

She tried to steady herself and take a deep breath as she looked directly at the point that was stuck and attempted to maneuver the panties off of the stuck section.

However, with every small movement, her panties tore more and more. Every single sound sent panic pure and raw through her entire body, until finally, the worst possible thing happened…they fell off.

The tear had gone all the way around, and the elastic snapped, removing itself from her waist. Nanako trembled in place, feeling close to crying as she stared at what was now essentially a scrap of fabric in her hand.

She was now wearing nothing below the waist.

Knowing it would be a futile effort, she let go of the panties, and slowly planted both hands between her legs. She was bare, as she liked to shave herself regularly. She was beginning to regret not having a shielding carpet, however. She had never felt so embarrassed nor ashamed in all her life, but here she was, completely bottomless while on the clock in the back room. But what could she do? She could still go for her pants, which risked the boss seeing her and firing her, along with the humiliation of him specifically catching her, or she could try and get to her car, meaning running through the entire store with her ass exposed!

Which was better and which was worse?

Nanako took a deep breath to steady herself. She came to the decision that she was going to try and make a break for her car, even if it meant streaking through the store bottomless. It seemed like a better option than facing Bob again.

However, as she emerged from between the two shelves, briefly glancing back at her ruined panties, she had never felt more exposed and vulnerable in her life. She kept glancing around herself to make sure no one was there to see her, and thankfully she seemed to be in the clear all the way to the double doors.

Her grip on herself was tight, both hands clasped between her legs to keep as much of herself covered as she could. Her butt was completely out, but there wasn't much she could do about that. She took another deep breath as she finally walked through the doors.

Taking only a moment to gather her surroundings, she took off, walking fast across the floor, constantly looking in every direction. She couldn't believe she was streaking half-naked through Junes! She couldn't imagine how her father or Yu would feel if they could see her like this.

She ducked around corners and shelves, doing her best to avoid as many people as possible. At one point she had to quickly duck around a corner, and, although Nanako didn't notice it, what was left of her shirt caught on a twisted box, and was ripped from her body right out from under her, leaving her only remaining clothing to be her bra and vest. She noticed her body getting colder, but didn't look down, as she was already halfway there.

As she could now see the front, she knew she'd have to run through and in front of a crowd of people, but as long as she covered her face, she would be fine, right? She just had to get through without anyone realizing it was her.

As she peeked around the corner, examining the path out the front doors to see which would be the fastest and easiest way out, she heard a horrifying noise.

A laugh from behind her.

She slowly turned around and saw someone standing behind her.

"Ha! You have even less clothes than before!" he said with a smirk. It was the kid that had ruined her pants and screwed up her modesty in the first place. She was tempted to grab the kid and wring him by the throat, but she was frozen in place by surprise and shock, her hands still firmly planted between her legs.

He laughed again and, with a smirk on his face, he lunged at her. His hands wrapped around her bra, specifically the small part between her cups. In that moment, Nanako finally realized her shirt was gone, and although she wondered where it had gone, she knew she had bigger problems to deal with at that moment, especially as the boy yanked hard, so hard that she nearly fell over.

"L-Let go!" she cried, not wanting to make too much noise and potentially draw attention to herself. The kid just kept pulling and pulling until finally, her garment gave way, and the clips snapped off as the bra slipped off of her. Nanako went back onto the floor, as did the kid, though he got to his feet first and stuck his tongue out at her before running off with the bra.

The young woman realized she was now on the floor with her legs spread so she quickly got up and looked down at herself. Panic was setting in further as she realized the only article of clothing she had left was her Junes vest, which only covered up her small breasts, and just barely at that. Her face burned white hot as she quickly ran to a small corner that was out of the way enough that she didn't have too much risk at being seen.

She couldn't believe it. Here she was, nearly completely naked, in the middle of Junes. Bob was still walking around, and if she didn't stay cautious, not only might he see her, but customers might! Complete strangers, seeing things they shouldn't! Surely things couldn't get worse, right?

"Hey, Hikari, I need you."

All the blood drained from Nanako's face as she heard Bob's voice coming from around the corner. Frantically looking around for a place to hide, she spotted the meat and cheese counter, or the "island" as they liked to call it. It was a single circular section in the middle of the cold section where you could get certain types of sliced up meat and cheese. After doing a quick check to see if it was empty, which it was, she dove into it and huddled into a corner to hide herself as much as possible.

Unfortunately for her, it seemed that was where her boss was heading.

"Hikari, I need you to…Hikari?" he called out as he stood in front of the island. Nanako grabbed a sheet and placed it over herself as quietly as she could, placing her hand over her mouth to keep from making noise.

"Hikari, you better not be hiding back there," he said, and to her horror, he started entering the island. It was already a small space as it was, but the man took up enough that she was sure he was going to bump into her.

Yet somehow, the day only continued to get worse as he stopped.

"A vest?" he asked as Nanako suddenly felt him grab her vest, the only article of clothing she had left. It took all her willpower not to yank it back or scream as he started tugging on it. "What the hell? Is it stuck? Who just left their vest here?"

Nanako was trapped. If she resisted too much, he could potentially discover she was here, but did she really want to give up her last article of clothing? Did it really matter at this point anyway?

Not seeing any other option, Nanako shifted herself around so the vest slid off her body as she shuffled further underneath the sheet, and just like that, it came off, the vest now in his hands as he examined it. It took everything the young girl had no to scream or tremble as she now sat completely, butt-ass naked only a foot away from her manager and barely covered up by a sheet.

"Nanako? Ugh, of course," he said as he finally turned away from her. "Why is her vest in the island, though?" Mercifully, he began to walk away, though he unfortunately was taking her vest along with it, the last article she'd had to cover up her nude body, and within moments, it was gone.

She waited several seconds before making any attempt to move as she tried—and failed—to get herself to calm down. She was completely and utterly naked at work, and the only way out of it now was to make her way through the store—again, naked!—and out the front doors to her car. It seemed utterly impossible.

Was it really her only option? Or was there something else she was missing?

"Um…Nanako?"

Not realizing how long she'd been sitting there trying to think of something, Nanako jumped at the sudden sound of someone talking, especially since the voice seemed familiar. She slowly looked up, having removed the sheet from her head to find someone peering over the counter, staring at her, his expression one of concern.

"A-Ah! Yosuke!" Nanako cried as she stood up so suddenly that the sheet fell off of her, and his eyes went wide. Yosuke, after years of work, had become store manager, a very well-paying position that allowed him to relax more than he'd been able to while on the ground running around back when Junes wasn't as large. As he stared in Nanako in pure shock, his eyes flicking around and his face red, it took Nanako a moment to figure out why he looked like that. She froze up as she slowly looked down to see that her nude body, from her chest to her groin, was now completely visible.

She let out a quiet shriek as she ducked back down, collapsing her body into a ball as much as she could as Yosuke quickly made his way around to enter the island, and close and lock the small door as he ducked down in front of her. "Hey, why the hell are you…you…?"

"Naked?" she finished for him, and that only seemed to make him more flustered. For Nanako, this was most definitely the most embarrassing moment of her entire life, curled up in a ball naked in front of one of her best and oldest friends, in the middle of the store. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"With the stuff I've seen in my life, I'm actually willing to believe a lot…" Yosuke said almost too quietly for Nanako to hear, and she sighed.

"I kinda just…lost my clothes. One by one. I swear I've had the worst possible luck today…" She groaned as Yosuke awkwardly patted her back.

"Well…that's quite a predicament, huh?" he asked lamely while doing his best to not obviously stare at her naked body.

"Please don't tell Bob…if he finds out, I'm sure he'd fire me on the spot," Nanako said, and Yosuke grit his teeth.

"I see…" he said, and shook his head. "Look, if you can just…keep hiding for a bit, I can head out and find you some clothes, even if I have to steal them. Just don't tell anyone, okay?"

"Okay…" Nanako replied, feeling on the brink of tears.

"Alright. Just…stay put, okay? I'll put the 'out of order' sign up and tell Hikari that she can head home," he said, and Nanako went wide-eyed.

"But…won't you lose a lot of money that way?" she asked, and he smiled.

"No money is worth you dealing with this," he said, and now Nanako felt like crying for a different reason. She wiped her eyes and nodded, to which Yosuke returned it. "Alright, I'll be back as fast as I can." With that, he stood up and left, and though he wasn't able to lock the door behind him, he did put up the 'out of order' sign like he said. She sat up a bit and took a shaky breath.

She just needed to stay here, huh? For how long? She was sure that Yosuke would move as fast as he could to get her clothes, so surely everything would be alright soon, right?

Right?

As Nanako was waiting for Yosuke to save her, she heard footsteps approaching, and tried her best to curl herself up and keep as much of her body hidden as possible.

She could hear a conversation happening between the family, though she wasn't really paying attention to it, only noticing as the voice of what she assumed was the mother suddenly picked up.

"Woah!"

A voice startled Nanako as she jumped and turned to find two boys staring at her. Her face paled as her arms quickly shot to cover herself. How did they get in? Didn't Yosuke lock the door?!

"Mommy, there's a naked girl over here!" one of the boys cried, Nanako felt her entire body go cold.

"What?! What are you-?!" their mother started to ask as she walked around and peered over the counter, her eyes going wide as she saw Nanako. "What the hell are you-?!"

Nanako didn't think. She simply stood up, shoved past the kids, went through the door, and started running. The mother called after her as she heard the footsteps chasing, but she didn't look back.

She just kept running.

Nanako ran along the wall, doing her best to hide her face from the people she passed. Feeling her breasts bouncing with every wild step as she looked around frantically for some place to hide, her mind racing.

Eventually, she spotted something along the wall: the elevator. Without another thought, she dove inside the thankfully empty box and slammed her hand onto a button. She turned in time to see that no one was following her as the doors slid shut.

Nanako let out a sigh as she leaned against the wall, her heart racing and her cheeks hot at the idea of how many people had just seen her running through the store completely naked. She was fighting to catch her breath from the run as well, but after a second, she felt the elevator beginning to move, and her heart dropped.

In her panic to escape, she hadn't fully realized what she'd gotten herself into, and now the elevator was moving upward, bringing her further away from the exit. Not only that, but there was a chance that when those doors opened, someone would be waiting on the other side.

Nanako frantically looked around, trying to figure out what to do as the elevator came to a stop and the doors finally opened with a soft whine. Her eyes widened.

Before she could do anything, or even react at all, she saw a couple coming towards the elevator. Nanako quickly lunged out in a blind panic and ducked behind a shelf just as the couple walked towards the elevator, with the guy pausing for a moment.

"Did you see that?" he asked.

"I didn't see anything," the girl said. After a moment of staring where Nanako had gone, leaving her worried the man was about to walk over and find her, he mercifully shrugged his shoulders and went into the elevator. The doors slowly shut, trapping the naked girl on the second floor. Nanako couldn't believe her bad luck to land her in such a horrible situation.

The section was currently in was the electronics section, so she was surrounded by games, TV, computers, and the like. It was thankfully mostly empty, but she was still much further away from the entrance than she would've liked. That either meant running through the section and down the stairs, where she'd likely be seen by everyone, or waiting for the elevator, which had its own risks. She didn't know what to do as she crouched completely nude behind the TV, her body feeling strange with everything that had been going on.

She was about to make a decision when she heard someone call out. "Holy shit, look, it's a fucking naked girl!"

Nanako's eyes widened in pure horror as she looked towards the source of the voice.

To Nanako's relief, the boy she heard—who was with a friend—wasn't actually talking about Nanako, at least not directly.

The two boys were staring at some of the TV's set up. To Nanako's shock, the screen was displaying a completely naked lady. Nanako couldn't see the woman's face, but she could see her breasts and even a bit of her bare pussy. It appeared she was in store similar to her own. Who would put that type of thing on the TV's? Whoever it was would probably get fired.

"Damn that's a nice body! I wish she'd do something besides sitting though," one of them complained.

Nanako then realized something. There wasn't just some naughty movie playing. Nanako looked forward and saw that the case in front of her was holding on the camcorders and cameras. The girl on the screen was her! It was live footage!!

Nanako thought about covering up or running. However if she did any of that, the boys might get suspicious. If they found out it was a live girl on camera, they'd come looking for her. "God I'm glad it's not showing my face," Nanako said under her breath, though she still felt pure shame that someone was seeing her nude body like this.

She didn't know what to do really. She had to stay where she was sitting and continue to give the boys a show, much as she didn't want to. She had to make them think it was actually some really dirty video. Nanako wasn't an expert, but there were things she could do to make them think that, things she'd recalled seeing on Yu's computer when he'd come to visit when she was younger. Although she was humiliated to do so, she began to toy with her nipples. She kept telling herself that the boys didn't know it was her, so it barely counted as her being the one they saw.

The two boys were obviously enjoying the show, as Nanako didn't hear them move one bit. She turned over and began to wag her bottom towards the camera. Her blush grew deeper and heart pounded more when she thought about how much of an eye full they were probably getting, and how embarrassing it would be if they knew. Nanako even threw in a little playful slap to her bottom, trying to keep it quiet. It felt extra humiliating to be doing such a thing for two boys who appeared so young, even younger than her.

"Damn, they even got this going on surround sound. I could swear I actually hear that slap from over there," one of the guys commented. Nanako felt her body tensing up thinking about how much farther she would take this. She wasn't sure if she had a way out.

"Is there something I can help you two gentlemen with?" Nanako suddenly heard her boss say. She lost her nerve and trying to take the opportunity, quickly crawled away from the cameras now, preparing to mad dash out of there.

The two boys stammered a bit in embarrassment but one of them finally got the joke out, "Yeah, where can I get the movie you got playing here?" Yet when the three looked at the TV, all they saw was the empty floor Nanako had been.

"Funny guys, but that's live footage from the cameras over there," the boss said, thinking they were pulling some prank. The boys moved over to where the cameras were to take a look, but Nanako was already on her way out of there.

Nanako booked it as fast as her feet would carry her. While there had been some people around, thankfully they had dispersed, so it seemed like a straight shot to the stairs. She could feel her chest bouncing with every step, which only further reminded her of her nudity as the stairs were now mere feet away.

She turned towards the ones leading downstairs, but just as she walked over the first step, she heard voices coming from below, and they were heading up towards her!

"Crap!" Nanako whispered as she looked for somewhere to hide. However, just then, she saw the boys from before come out, frantically looking around for the naked girl they knew was hiding somewhere. As panic settled over her again, and with no obvious place to hide in sight, Nanako knew she only had one option.

She turned and ran up the stairs leading up.

She prayed no one was coming down as she moved as fast as her legs would go and finally emerged onto the third floor. Thankfully for her, this floor was the clothing department, meaning she could finally get dressed. There were a few people around, but no one was looking in her direction.

Unfortunately though, her boss was here too, and as Nanako froze in shock, the worst thing happened.

He saw her.

His face became confused and his eyes wide as Nanako turned her face away and started running. She heard her boss shout after her as she ran and grabbed the first clothes she could find to throw on before the boss caught up to her.

Nanako was barely able to get the large coat on by the time her boss caught up to her. However, when he saw her, he paused, looking surprised as if he wasn't expecting her. He glanced at her coat and frowned as she flashed a nervous smile, sweating dripping down her face.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"T-Trying on an outfit to see if I want to buy it later?" she said. She couldn't help but tremble knowing she was almost completely naked in front of her boss. He narrowed his eyes at her, and she braced herself for him telling her to take off the coat. If he did, she'd run. She didn't care if it got her in further trouble, it would be better than him finding out she was naked. He stared at her for a long time, long enough that she shifted on her feet.

As his gaze went down, she had a sudden realization that she hadn't properly latched the coat. It was slightly open in the front, and if he noticed at all, it was over.

Bob kept looking at her, and just when she thought she'd been busted, he finally spoke again. "Are you wearing your vest?"

"Yes!" Nanako answered without thinking.

"Well, you left a spare one in the island, and that's slobbish. Don't let it happen again, alright?" he said. "Now, have you seen a…er…naked person running around?"

"N-Naked?!" Nanako sputtered, and her boss blushed.

"Yes, I thought I just saw a streaker running around, though I didn't get a good look at her face," he said, and Nanako breathed a sigh of relief, even if she wasn't fully in the clear yet.

"N-No sir, I haven't," she replied, and the man grunted.

"Well, let me know if you do, alright?" he said as he began to turn away. "And take that damn thing off, you can try it on after your shift."

With that, he finally walked away, and Nanako let out an even louder sigh of relief.

It was time to leave. Sure, taking the coat would technically be stealing, but at this point, she didn't really care. She'd return it once she got some clothes.

She made her way towards the elevator.

Nanako took the elevator down the first floor and quickly scurried past the groceries to the front of the store. She avoided as many people as she could, getting a couple weird looks from those who did see her, but as she got closer and closer, she felt a strange sense of dread, as if she could feel something was about to happen.

And unfortunately, it did.

As the front doors were in sight, and she was moving past the self-checkout section, she was stopped by someone walking in front of her, someone that made her freeze in place as the blood drained from her face.

It was the kid from before.

He was smirking at her and eyeing her up and down to the point that she began to wonder if he knew exactly what he was doing, especially as he took a step towards her without saying a word, his eyes sparkling. Nanako tried to turn and run, but as she did, he grabbed the coat and Nanako only then realized she had still forgotten to clasp the coat shut.

As her feet tried to take her away, the coat was yanked from her body and landed in a pool on the floor. The world felt like it stopped as Nanako once again felt the cool air-conditioned air of the building on her body…every inch of it.

Nanako couldn't move, frozen by the fear as the boy took out a phone and snapped a picture of her petite ass with a laugh. That finally snapped her out of it, but before she could do anything rational, she let out an accidental scream as her arms rushed to cover herself. The scream got immediate attention, and suddenly there was a small swarm of people staring at her, completely naked, her hands barely hiding her assets. Nanako's face burned white hot as people immediately fished for their phones, and it took all her effort to force her body to finally move. She turned and finally began running, with some people even following her.

So many people were seeing her naked. So many people. She had never felt so humiliated in her entire life.

She burst through the front doors and lunged towards one of the cars to hide behind it just as her followers came out, only to find she was seemingly gone. They spread out, so Nanako began moving.

If she could just get to her car, this would be over.

She ducked between cars, narrowly avoiding people searching for her. Feeling the sun wrapping around her completely bare body felt wrong in every possible way, going against everything she was told about modesty. It was excruciating, especially when she got spotted a few times by people who were pulling in and getting out of their own cars, and she then had to avoid them too.

Thankfully, company policy asked employees to park near the back, which people were unlikely to search, but that also meant she'd have to sprint past an open area to get to her car.

She got to the final car before the run and looked out upon the empty lot she had to sprint naked through. She couldn't help but reflect and wonder how she got into this situation, before then cursing the boy for the rest of his days.

She glanced around to see if anyone was nearby, and although there was one person hanging around the back, clearly looking for her, she decided to make a run for it. She took off, her feet slapping the pavement as her breasts—even while covered by her arm—bounced around, further reminding her of her nudity.

She was naked outside running for what felt like her life.

Finally, she got to the car and ducked behind it. She was now safe from the man, but exposed to anyone who would be coming into the lot, meaning she had to go fast.

However, as she tried to open the car door, she had an awful realization.

Her keys. Her car keys. They were still in her pants…which were now in her boss's office.

She cursed to herself as she looked around wildly, her eyes eventually landing on the building.

The way she saw it, she had two options. One was to try and run back home completely naked in broad daylight, which sounded like a horrible idea, or go back inside to try and get to her boss's office, which also sounded like a horrible idea.

But which sounded less horrible?

"Ughhh…"

She figured trying to get her pants would be a better endeavor than running all the way home butt naked, so she examined her surroundings, checking to see if she was still being searched for. Thankfully, it seemed that most people had given up, though some were still looking for her, along with other people coming and going out of the building. She'd need to be fast.

She waited for what seemed like the perfect time, having to wait two full minutes, moving around her car to avoid being seen, and booked it. She covered herself with her hands as she ran, but still felt the bounce of her breasts with every step she took. She heard someone shout as they spotted her, but she didn't turn to look. She also tried to ignore the disgusted look of the old woman she ran past as she burst through the front doors once more. She turned her face away in pure embarrassment as people tried to snap pictures of her, including both her body and her face. She just kept running into the building, with some people following after her.

Nanako rushed towards the elevator and pressed one of the buttons before booking it up the stairs. She heard it ding open, and since she was out of sight on the stairs, the people chasing her thought she got onto the elevator. She could hear some of them starting to go up the stairs to try and catch her though, so she just kept moving.

The boss's office was on the first floor, so she'd need to get back down there, but for now she needed to hide. She was back in electronics, so she ducked behind a TV (making sure she wasn't in a place that would be displaying her body this time) and held her breath.

The small group chasing her ran past, deeper into the store, so Nanako released her breath and rushed back down the stairs just as the elevator was opening with people down below. Her nude body barely got out of sight before they also went into the store proper, and Nanako continued her trip down.

Her heart was racing as she started making her way towards the back office as quickly as she could while trying to remain undetected. She'd made it to the back of the first floor, but now she'd have to cross an open area to get all the way to the back, and there was a man shopping, mere feet away, even if he did have his back turned.

Nanako took a deep breath, trying to steady herself, but just as she did, she heard a startled voice say something behind her, which in turn startled her and almost made her fall over. Knowing she had to move, she burst across the floor, making her way towards the double doors leading to the back room, her feet loudly slapping the cold tiled floor.

However, just as she was about to go through the doors, someone came out of them…right in front of Nanako.

It all seemed to happen in slow motion as her boss strode through the door and stopped in front of her, his eyes wide as he took in the sight of the girl completely nude.

"N-Nanako…?!" Bob cried.

"S-Sir, I can explain-"

"Explain?! How could you possibly explain to me why you're standing butt naked in the middle of my store?!" he cried, and Nanako winced as she could see people nearby were either turning towards them to see what was happening, or coming closer to do so, meaning more eyes on Nanako's body, which she did her best to cover up.

"S-Sir, it's just a misunderstanding, I-"

"How is you standing here naked a misunderstanding?!" he screamed, his face red. To Nanako's horror, he also seemed to be checking her out a bit even as he yelled. "You're striding around without a stitch on the clock, you know! You're supposed to be working for your money, not acting out exhibitionist fantasies and getting paid for it!"

"Sir-!"

"No! No buts, except yours apparently!" he cried, and glanced around at the rather significant crowd that had begun to gather around them, taking pictures of videos both of the yelling boss and Nanako's beautiful naked form cowering in fear. "Alright, you're coming with me to my office, now."

"What?! No, I-!"

"Do you really want to test me right now? Office, now!" He turned and began to walk away, expecting her to follow, but Nanako wasn't sure if she should, especially with how he'd been checking her out.

Was it really a good idea to go with him?

Did she even have a choice?

"Hey!"

Bob whirled around to find Yosuke making his way towards him, and Bob blinked in surprise when he went right past Nanako and up to him.

"You wanna explain yourself?" Yosuke asked, and Bob looked confused.

"E-Excuse me?"

"What kind of manager yells at his employee like that in front of customers, especially when she's clearly in a horrible situation already?" Bob only looked more confused.

"H-Horrible situation? But she-"

"If you had stopped to actually listen to her, you'd understand that she isn't doing this intentionally, but has instead gone through quite a lot today, and yet here you are shouting at her like she's a child!"

"Sir-"

"No, I've had enough. Do you know how many complaints I've received about you?" Yosuke asked, staring right into his eyes. "It's been quite a lot."

"But I just…I'm just doing my job…"

"And you're lousy at it. You aren't supposed to be giving write ups for every little thing people do wrong. You're supposed to encourage them to do better and help make them more productive a better way. And…" He leaned in, "you're supposed to LISTEN to them."

"I…uh…I-I'll do better, I swear," Bob said, visibly shaking, but Yosuke shook his head.

"No, you won't. You're fired. Go to your office, get your stuff, and leave."

"But sir…!"

"Do you want me to add 'stripped an employee in front of customers' to your reason of termination?" Yosuke threatened, and Bob went pale. He glanced back at Nanako, who was trying to hide herself behind Yosuke, then back at Yosuke. He gulped, turned, and rushed away. Yosuke let out a sigh as he turned to Nanako, and quickly removed his vest and shirt right then and there, handing them over.

"Sorry I couldn't get back sooner," he said before glancing around. "All of you, disperse before I call security to kick you out."

Most scattered, but some tried to stay, to which Yosuke glared at them as he led Nanako to the back.

"M-My pants…they're in his office…" Nanako said quietly, and Yosuke swore.

"Last time I hire an American," he said under his breath as he led her to the office, glaring at any employee that looked their way. Nanako felt herself calming down a bit at his presence and help.

"Thank you," she said.

"Of course," he said, as if it wasn't a big deal.

They managed to get Nanako's ruined pants back just as Bob was leaving the office with a box of stuff, and Yosuke allowed her to keep the shirt and even go home early. She was thankful, and showed it by continuously thanking him over and over, unsure what would've happened if she'd gone with Bob to his office, and somewhat scared of what could've transpired. Still, she quickly rushed out and got back to her car, ready to head home and end the day.

And she was not looking forward to explaining to her father why she was home early.

For once, she hoped he simply wasn't going to be home.
