It seems I didn't even notice...
Thinking back very seriously to the events at the hot spring, Lumine realized she hadn't noticed Kaito staring at her or anything of the sort at the time.
Of course, when she had just put on that swimsuit and appeared before him, he had looked at her quite earnestly for a moment.
But after that, he didn't look like that anymore—or perhaps she just hadn't noticed.
Could it be that he only needed one look to remember everything clearly?
But I was right in front of him the whole time... Wouldn't it have been better to take a few more looks?
Thinking it over, Lumine silently arrived at this conclusion.
However, she obviously couldn't share this conclusion with Kaito; he would have to realize it himself.
Sigh...
He definitely won't realize it...
Glancing toward the door, Lumine suddenly had this thought.
Speaking of which, she was also curious. Kaito didn't seem like the type who was particularly good at flirting with girls, yet he had such outstanding girls like Acheron and Wendy by his side. She wondered how he managed to attract them.
Of course, regarding Acheron, she didn't find it strange. Those two were really too alike; it was normal for them to attract each other.
Forget it...
Let's go out first...
Suddenly feeling she had stayed inside a bit too long, Lumine walked toward the door.
Creak—
Opening the door, Lumine slowly walked out.
If it were before, she might have been a bit shy at this moment. But after experiencing the hot spring incident, she wouldn't be like that anymore.
After all, back then she felt as if she wasn't wearing anything, let alone now when she was wrapped up tight.
"It looks like it fits well. How does it feel?" upon her exit, Kaito asked after carefully scrutinizing Lumine.
In his view, this bathrobe fit Lumine quite well, but he didn't know how she felt about it.
"It's just right—not too big, not too small, perfectly suitable." Lumine nodded, even spreading her arms to let Kaito see more clearly.
Actually, she really wanted to ask how Kaito could instantly create such a well-fitting bathrobe.
Although she could vaguely guess the answer, she wanted to hear what Kaito himself had to say.
It was just that she was still hesitating, wondering whether she should ask.
"Seems my eyesight is pretty good," Kaito said with self-satisfaction after receiving Lumine's affirmative answer.
Since he didn't have the specific data on Lumine's figure, Kaito could only create a bathrobe based on a rough estimate. Since he managed to create one that fit Lumine perfectly on the first try, he suddenly felt his eyesight was excellent.
Hearing Kaito's remark, Lumine began to ponder.
Eyesight?
Does he mean the way he looked at me back at the hot spring?
Thinking about this question, Lumine decided to ask.
"You looked at me for so long at the hot spring; it would be strange if you couldn't make something that fits."
After saying this, Lumine watched for changes in Kaito's expression. She wanted to see how Kaito would react to this.
"Yeah, yeah." After a moment of stunned silence, Kaito quickly nodded in agreement.
There was no helping it; it was indeed true. Lumine really was quite... 'exposed' back then.
However, he still wanted to say that no matter how exposed or even stark naked someone was, without measuring directly with tools, deviations were still possible.
Even though he was different from before, he still couldn't determine a person's physical measurements just by observation.
"What are you thinking about?"
Suddenly noticing that Kaito seemed to be thinking about something, Lumine asked curiously.
She knew Kaito must be thinking about something related to her, so she wanted to know what he was thinking.
"It's just..." Kaito hesitated for a moment but continued, "It's just that I think if we want to make clothes that fit perfectly, we still need to measure with some tools."
"Then how do we measure?"
Not expecting Kaito to be thinking about this, Lumine asked subconsciously.
Actually, she certainly knew how to measure; she just wanted to see if Kaito knew. But since Kaito said that, he presumably knew how.
"I think we need one of those soft tape measures." After thinking, Kaito recalled it seemed to be so.
As for why he used "I think," it was because he didn't know if he remembered correctly. After all, he had never measured waist or bust sizes before.
"Then do you want to help me measure?" Seeing Kaito's uncertain look, Lumine immediately asked.
Since he had seen pretty much everything at the hot spring anyway, asking Kaito to help measure her figure was quite reasonable.
And more importantly, she needed Kaito to help make clothes, and it wouldn't be easy to do without measuring.
"Sure, it's just that I..."
"Don't say anything else, you'll know once you measure." Seeing Kaito hesitating, Lumine indicated they should just measure first.
Saying things here was useless anyway; one had to get hands-on.
"True." Nodding, Kaito conjured a soft tape measure.
This should be enough, right?
But if it were for Acheron... It might need to be a bit longer...
Looking at the tape measure in his hand, Kaito thought silently.
"Stop looking at it and come measure me."
Seeing Kaito staring at the tape measure, Lumine spoke up to remind him to hurry up.
After speaking, she spread her arms, signaling Kaito to come over and help her measure.
"Okay, I'll measure the waist first." Nodding, Kaito walked behind Lumine. "I'm starting."
Before starting, Kaito gave Lumine a heads-up.
Then, Kaito began wrapping the tape measure around Lumine's waist.
Hmm...
This bathrobe is a bit thick...
Should I remind Lumine to change...
Because he hadn't thought that much earlier, the bathrobe he created was relatively thick, slightly affecting the measurement.
Of course, Kaito could also estimate what it would be without the bathrobe.
"What's my waist size?" Not hearing Kaito behind her state the number, Lumine asked.
What is this Kaito doing...
Why is it taking so long...
Measuring a waist should be very quick...
In the gap waiting for Kaito's answer, Lumine thought silently to herself.
"Let me think."
In response to Lumine's question, Kaito, who was thinking about how much data to subtract to get the real figure, answered subconsciously.
Let me think?
Hearing Kaito answer like this, Lumine was stunned for a moment.
What does he mean by "think"?
Shouldn't he know just by looking at the tape measure?
What's going on?
