Umm... Pardon the intrusion.

Pardon us.

Enter!

Welcome, Kanade, Ichi♪

Thank you again for agreeing to come all this way, Kanade.

I promise to really capture your radiance today!

*Nod*

Thank you for having me.

(I'm a little nervous...

I hardly ever go over to other people's houses.)

(Still...)

Kanade?

Oh, I'm sorry...

I was just marveling at how well-organized your room is...

Huh? You really mean that?

Yes, my room is so cluttered...

Things literally come crashing down on top of me sometimes.

What?! I hope you've never gotten hurt!

No, since it's never anything heavy...

Mostly sheet music and cardboard boxes...

Once I find the inspiration for a song, I'll start working on that right away and make things like cleaning my room take a back seat.

I understand what you mean.

It's like nothing else matters besides the song you're writing.

Haha. I have this habit of throwing everything into my closet when I don't really have time. Unfortunately for me, that's resulted in a few avalanches.

*Gasp*

Please, sit down! You two don't have to keep standing!

I've also prepared snacks and drinks, so have as much as you like!

Oh wow...

It's like we're having a little party...

Hm? This pile of magazines...

Heh heh heh! They're the fashion magazines I've gathered!

Remember the pictures I took of you the other day after we left the cafe, Kanade?

Oh, yes...

You said you were going to use them to prepare for today...?

That's right!

I found a cool trick in this one video I saw...

You print out pictures of your friend and place them where a model's face is supposed to go, and...

Oh wow.

It's like she's all dressed up now.

This helps you get a clear picture of what your friend would look like wearing a particular outfit!

I see...

That is pretty cool. I might give this a try with my own picture sometime...

You totally should!

This is so much easier than trying on clothes at an actual shop, which means more fun combinations to test!

I tried mixing and matching different pieces of outfits using this trick...

Oh, there's a sticky note on this page...

Hehe. This is my first candidate!

I thought the idea of having a monotone outfit accented by flashy accessories was kinda cool.

Yeah, this is pretty cool...

It's like something a rock star would wear.

Do you really think I'll be able to pull this off...?

I know you will!

Oh, but this one's a bit more girly!

Yeah, it's cute. Like one of those poofy dresses you see on dolls.

Yes, I think Mizuki would really like this one.

Hehe. I thought the same thing♪

You can make it even cuter by adding a brooch to this hat.

Oh, if you're feeling brave, I thought we could also try a sporty look...

Anyway, I'm hoping that we can take pictures of you wearing a few of these outfits!

Okay, that seems fine.

I don't know much about fashion, but I do think that you'll look good in all of these, Kanade...

Me too! I've even come up with hairstyles and makeup ideas for each one♪

Oh, I know.

Can I try doing your hair right now, Kanade?

I don't mind, but I'm still in my sweats. Is that okay...?

Yes! I want to take this opportunity to get a feel for your hair!

Let's see... I have my brush, hairpins and...

Oh, am I gonna need oil for this?

Hehe. Saki's so excited...

*Nod*

(I know that she wants to do well on her project...)

(But she must love fashion very much.)

Thank you for waiting!

I'll start by combing your bangs.

Okay, I'm ready whenever...

Your hair's so silky and smooth, Kanade.

But it's also super long. Isn't maintaining it really hard?

I don't actually do much to maintain it...

It's also long because that's just easier for me.

Wait, your hair's naturally this silky smooth...?!

That's incredible...

My hair's been sorta wavy since I was little, so I have this fascination with perfectly straight hair.

But I like your hair, Saki.

It's so fluffy and soft.

I agree. It matches your personality really well.

Hehe. Thank you♪

But a part of me has always wanted to do something about my wavy hair. That's why I began learning what I could about styling from magazines and stuff.

Because when you get your hair and outfit just right, it's like a sign that you're going to have a great day!

(A sign that you're going to have a great day...)

(I've never seen things from that sort of perspective before.)

I'm thinking about going with a half-up, half-down hairstyle that flows naturally.

If you had your choice of ringlets or buns, which would you prefer?

Uhh... I'll leave that up to you.
