Ch 174. Fitting Room Play

At 12:47 PM, in the swimwear store.

"Utaha, do you want to try this one?" Hoshimi asked, holding up a black two-piece swimsuit after a bit of browsing.

Kasumigaoka glanced at the swimsuit, confirmed the size was right, and nodded slightly. "Okay, I'll go try it on."

After saying that, she took the swimsuit and headed towards the fitting room. Hoshimi, smiling, followed closely behind but stopped voluntarily about two meters outside the fitting room.

Click!

Once inside, Kasumigaoka skillfully locked the door and carefully inspected the fitting room for any hidden cameras. After ensuring there were none, she slowly began to undress and prepare to try on the swimsuit.

It wasn't that she distrusted Hoshimi; after all, she was the one who chose the store. There was no way Hoshimi could have tampered with anything, and she didn't believe he would do something so low. Her caution was purely out of habit.

In today's technologically advanced society, there are more and more perverts who install pinhole cameras everywhere to satisfy their voyeuristic desires. As a woman, especially a beautiful one, she had to be extra cautious. It had become a habit for her to check the safety of fitting rooms when buying clothes at a mall.

Rustle, rustle!

After the sound of clothes rustling, Kasumigaoka was almost fully dressed in the swimsuit, with only one last step remaining: fastening the clasp.

Hoshimi had chosen a front-clasp swimsuit for her, which was much more convenient than a back-clasp one. However...

"Pervert..." Kasumigaoka softly cursed, her face slightly flushed.

It was too tight! The size was off by an inch; even with her hands pulling the fabric together, she couldn't get it to close.

Given her and Hoshimi's intimate relationship, there was no way Hoshimi could have gotten her size wrong. And it had only been six months; she hadn't grown any more.

So, the truth was clear: Hoshimi, the pervert, had intentionally picked a size too small!

As for what his intentions were? She didn't need to think hard to figure it out.

She couldn't fasten the clasp → calls Hoshimi in to help → they accidentally fall into each other → Hoshimi gets to cop a feel and scores big time!

Or another scenario:

Calls Hoshimi in to help → Hoshimi takes advantage of her physical condition to tease her → she wants to resist, but her body gives in first, allowing Hoshimi to have his way with her.

There were several other possibilities:

Not calling Hoshimi for help but asking him to get a different swimsuit → Hoshimi agrees, fetches a new one → she opens the door slightly, and Hoshimi slips in → because of the store staff, she doesn't dare scream → Hoshimi grins evilly and does whatever he wants.

She can't fasten the clasp → gives up and changes back into her clothes → Hoshimi tries again, fails again → they're stuck in a loop until one of them gives up.

At that point, Hoshimi would probably be the one to give up first. But he would silently hold a grudge and plan his revenge for later. She knew his personality all too well.

There were many possible outcomes, but they all ended with her losing!

However, she had anticipated this situation and had already thought of a countermeasure.

If you want to play, Hoshimi, let's play. Let's see who comes out on top!

"Heh..." Kasumigaoka chuckled lightly, covering her chest with one hand and taking her phone out of her handbag with the other.

She pulled up the number of the store's service desk, which she had discreetly taken a photo of when Hoshimi wasn't paying attention.

Then she dialed the number.

"Hello, this is the PEAK & PINE swimwear store in Shinjuku. How can I assist you?"

The phone connected, and a sweet female voice came through the receiver.

Kasumigaoka glanced at the fitting room door, then lowered her head, covering the phone as she whispered, "Hello, I'm currently trying on a swimsuit in your store, but I can't fasten the clasp. Could you send a staff member to help me?"

Since this was a women's swimwear store, all the staff were young women, so there was no need to specify a female employee.

"...Certainly, ma'am. Could you tell me which fitting room you're in? I'll send someone to assist you right away."

"Which room?" Kasumigaoka frowned slightly. She hadn't noticed any markings on the door when she entered.

She also hadn't paid attention to the location, but that was okay—there was a human-shaped sign outside her fitting room.

Kasumigaoka relaxed her brow and continued whispering, "I'm not sure which fitting room it is, but my boyfriend is standing outside. He's the one with white hair and red eyes. You should be able to find me by looking for him."

"..." The store clerk was silent for a moment before suddenly speeding up her speech. "Understood, ma'am. Our staff will be there shortly. Please don't let your boyfriend come in to help you!!"

Kasumigaoka's mouth twitched. "I understand. I won't let him in."

From the clerk's tone, it seemed something unsavory might have happened in this fitting room before.

"Alright, our staff will be with you shortly!"

Beep beep!

The call ended, and Kasumigaoka put on her original clothes while waiting for the staff to arrive.

When the staff member arrived, she would open the door slightly to let her in. There was a risk of exposure during that brief moment, so to be safe, she decided to change back into her clothes.

Yes, Kasumigaoka Utaha was a woman who left no room for error.

Outside the fitting room, Hoshimi, who was waiting for Kasumigaoka to ask for help, suddenly noticed a young female employee hurriedly approaching him with small steps.

The employee looked at his hair and eyes as if confirming something.

After a moment, she cautiously asked, "Excuse me, sir, could you tell me which fitting room your girlfriend is in?"

As soon as the question was asked, Hoshimi immediately understood Kasumigaoka's countermeasure.

Bringing in a store employee as a third-party authority? A smart and effective move. At the very least, with the employee watching closely, he wouldn't be able to do anything.

He admired Kasumigaoka's strategy, but how should he deal with this slight frustration he felt?

Should he try to do something anyway? He could, but it wasn't necessary. Better to let it go and turn this frustration into a step toward redemption.

During the date, Kasumigaoka wouldn't let him into the fitting room. Redemption progress +5%.

With that thought, Hoshimi's mood improved. He casually raised his hand and pointed to the fitting room in front of him. "Here, this one."

"Thank you~" The employee bowed slightly in gratitude.

Then she turned and knocked on the fitting room door.

"Ma'am, I'm a store employee. Did you need assistance?"

"Yes, it's me. Please come in quickly."

Kasumigaoka opened the door slightly and quickly pulled the employee inside.
