Wakana did not ask any other questions.
After all, Akira-kun had already told him that Akira was mainly responsible for Shinju's cosplay, and he only needed to help a little.
Wakana agreed, feeling that Soma's cosplay outfit was indeed simpler.
Akira-kun will surely be able to complete it.
"Regarding the final shooting location, Aki-Kun and I will choose it, and we will call you all to scout the place together then."
Sajuna said, "Do you have any ideas?"
Marin and Wakana both smiled and said, "We'll leave this matter to Inui-san and Akira-kun."
"There will definitely be no problem."
Sajuna took a sip of tea.
There definitely won't be any problem.
After bidding farewell to Marin and Wakana, Akira, Sajuna, and Shinju planned to take the train home.
"Speaking of which, it's rare for the three of us to be out together."
Akira looked around the shopping street and felt like they needed to do some shopping.
"How about we go shopping together, Shinju?"
Akira asked.
Shinju looked up at her sister, feeling that it was a bit awkward for the three of them to go shopping together.
"I, I don't know."
Shinju shyly lowered her head, feeling that it should be her sister and Akira's date time.
"I think that's fine too."
Sajuna, however, nodded.
Shinju hesitated for a moment, then turned to her sister and said, "Sorry, sister, I have an appointment with a friend."
"Huh?" Sajuna exclaimed in surprise.
"But, Shinju clearly..." Sajuna hadn't finished her sentence when she saw Shinju immediately run off.
Akira did not try to stop Shinju, who wanted to leave; he had also understood Shinju's thoughts.
He felt that it was not good to hinder his sister's date.
But he and Sajuna were both trying to consider Shinju's feelings.
"Shinju is probably afraid of affecting our date, isn't she?"
Akira explained to Sajuna.
"Shinju, she..." Sajuna murmured, feeling as if Shinju had been wronged in some way.
"Since Shinju has left for our date, let's enjoy the rest of our date."
Akira smiled, took Sajuna's soft hand, and led her to a women's clothing store.
"Eh! Why is Aki-Kun buying me clothes again?"
"Because I always can't help but want to see Sajuna wear beautiful clothes."
Akira replied, knowing that his girlfriend was a cute cosplayer, so his mind was always thinking about what his girlfriend would look like in various clothes.
"But today's clothes, I'll pay for myself."
Sajuna did not refuse Akira's request, but she did not allow Akira to spend money on her again.
"Alright."
Seeing Sajuna's firm attitude, Akira also softened.
Sajuna walked into the store and picked out a black waist-cinching dress; compared to the previous princess-style dress, this one had a more mature and elegant vibe.
"Does this dress look good?"
Sajuna turned her head to ask Akira.
"I feel like it doesn't quite match Sajuna's temperament."
Akira hesitated for a moment, but still answered.
There was no need to be too evasive, "But after all, I always see Sajuna wearing cute clothes."
"I'm actually quite looking forward to seeing Sajuna in this dress."
"Try it on."
When Sajuna changed into the dress and walked out of the fitting room, both the salesclerk and Akira's eyes lit up.
The Sajuna with a cute aura was gone.
Her soft pink hair fell naturally, and the small braid that was usually tied to the side was untied by Sajuna at some point, her long hair gently swaying in front of her cheeks.
The black waist-cinching dress, paired with Sajuna's black shoes, further highlighted the fair and translucent skin of her calves, which was very eye-catching.
And the cool temperament brought by black was enhanced to its peak when Sajuna's face was stern.
But when Sajuna smiled at Akira, the cool temperament only felt gentle.
"It suits Sajuna very well."
Akira hadn't expected this.
After all, most of his memories were of a cute Sajuna.
No, in the original manga, when Sajuna appeared later, she was wearing a mature-style outfit.
Akira now only wanted to further develop and unlock Sajuna's personal outfits.
He felt like he was playing a real-life dress-up game for a beautiful girl.
Akira looked around the clothes in the store and saw a beige knit sweater and a floral half-skirt nearby.

"Could we try on those few?"
Akira asked the salesclerk.
The salesclerk took down a few clothes with a tool, and Akira took them and handed them to Sajuna.
"This feels very suitable for Sajuna."
Akira wanted to operate it himself and check the outfit score.
Sajuna walked out of the fitting room; compared to before, a cute aura once again filled her entire body, adding more of a first-love vibe.
Akira scanned her once. He felt that the black leather shoes Sajuna was wearing did not quite match.
"Please get me a pair of white sneakers."
"There's no need for that."
Sajuna pulled Akira's arm, not because she was worried about money, but because she felt it was unnecessary.
"I feel this outfit pairs better with white sneakers."
"Please wait a moment.", the attendant replied.
Sajuna, with flushed cheeks, reported her size, then sat next to Akira, waiting for the attendant together.
The attendant brought over the white sneakers; "Do you need me to help you try them on?"
Akira directly took the shoes and smiled, "I'll do it."
"Aki-Kun."
"Hmm?"
Akira looked up and saw that Sajuna's cheeks had already turned crimson, and she was now trying to cover her steaming face with both hands.
Sajuna remembered what Aki-Kun had done to her before and felt a little shy.
Aki-Kun shouldn't do that kind of thing today, right?
But it's hard to say.
Sajuna's thoughts raced, watching Akira squat in front of her, picking up one foot with one hand.
Then, with both hands, he gently pulled open the buckle on the small leather shoe, and without any hesitation, grabbed the heel of the shoe.
"Aki-Kun, that's dirty."
Sajuna couldn't help but remind him; grabbing the heel like that would clearly touch the sole.
No one knew what the sole had stepped on.
Akira said indifferently, "It's fine, I'll just wash it later."
As soon as he finished speaking, as if remembering something, he added.
"But I really should be careful, it wouldn't be good to get Sajuna's feet dirty."
Aki-Kun is really so gentle.
Sajuna felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this.
