“SPOTLIGHT EV: Side Tailor Boys- CHAPTER 2"


Taichi: So then. Today we’ll be discussing what to do for the upcoming fashion show——
Operation: “Tailor Boys Strategy Meeting”, start!!
Yuki: Straight to the point, huh.
Taichi: It’s an important bit to get ourselves motivated!!
Yuki: Now that you mention it though, I guess we’ve always been the “Tailor Boys”, huh.
Taichi: Ehehe, it's the perfect name for a pair like ours, isn’t it!
Yuki: Okay okay, let’s move on. First thing’s first, we should decide on the style direction we want to go with.
We could go with a similar style from one of the pre-existing fits we’ve done before, but since we have plenty of time to work with, I do want to make one from scratch.
That said, I want to know what kind of outfit you want to wear first.
Taichi: You want my opinion on this!?
Yuki: It’s not gonna be a costume for a performance, so there’s no set theme that’s required to follow. So, while we have that freedom, I want to hear your take on the matter.
Taichi: I’m flattered, but now that you ask me I’m sorta stumped…!!
Yuki: Just a rough idea is fine. ‘Course, if it’s a must, then that’d be good too.
Taichi: … I want an outfit that screams me.
Yuki: Huh?
Taichi: Yuki-chan, I want you to design me an outfit that will scream Nanao Taichi, and I’ll wear that!


Yuki: ——...
Well. I guess I can manage that much.
Taichi: I know you will!
Oh! Also… If it’s fine for me to choose one thing in particular… I’d really want to have something on it that’d represent you as well, Yuki-chan… Just maybe!
Yuki: (Something that’d represent me, huh…)
… Sure. I’ll think it over.
Taichi: Okay! I’ll leave it up to you!!

—— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— ——

Yuki: (An outfit that represents Taichi, huh…)
(A fashion show is still a fashion show, but…)
(Rather than going something formal like suits that are the standard for models, maybe something more casual would be better.)
(Taichi’s an attention-seeking idiot, so if we’re talking about him, then going with a loud color scheme might suit him more. Something like this…)
(For the inside fabric too, the main color should be—)
[PULLS DRAWER]


Yuki: (Red. Just like this yarn of wool.)
…..
(Now that I think about it, I wonder why I chose red to be that muffler’s color…)

—　—　— FLASHBACK —　—　—
Yuki: It’s done! ^[1]
Yuki’s Mom: Oh, you did it so wonderfully! It’s so beautiful with this gradation too.
Yuki: I’ll give this to that lil’ squirt.
Yuki’s Mom: Oh good grief, dear, he’s not “a lil’ squirt.” It’s Taichi-kun, right? …I’m sure he’ll love this though.
But is there a reason you chose the color red?
Yuki: Mmm…..
Because red—— for Taichi…..
—　—　— FLASHBACK END —　—　—

Yuki: (... I wonder what I said back then.)
Tenma: … Yo, what’s up with you? You’re staring holes into that red yarn.
Yuki: —You know, you could at least have some manners and say “I’m home” or something first?
Tenma: You seemed so focused; I didn’t wanna disturb you.
Yuki: Sure you didn’t.
Tenma: That design you’re drawing on your sketchbook right now— that must be for Taichi, right?
I trust you’ll take care of my office’s kouhai.
Yuki: So you like being on your high horse?
Tenma: Wh— I’m just cheering on for Taichi! That’s what I meant…!! Hey, are you listening!?
Yuki: (Speaking of… Taichi said he wanted me to add something that “represents me”, right…)
(I guess I’ll think about where to put that part in after I’ve got this base done.)
