Chapter 26: Apology

Notes:

Sorry this one took a while, as you’ll soon find out it’s pretty much fully new content so it took a bit to get right. I'm thinking you guys will enjoy it a fair bit though. Also for those interested I found this artwork of Morgana which is a pretty accurate depiction of how I imagine his feline form in this story. https://x.com/HatiDraw/status/1877369991525446064

* 21/6/20XX - Tuesday - Lunchtime *

 

“Did you lock the door?”

“Yes?”

“I’m sorry for asking you here like this.”

“Oh no, it isn’t a problem… I actually find it refreshing to be asked to the student council room. Although it’s somewhat nerve-racking as well.”

“...I think I’m a bit nervous myself.”

Abruptly getting up from the table and stepping back, Ann removed her Shujin blazer and placed it on the back of her chair. Reaching for her jumper Makoto could only look on in surprise.

“T-Takamaki-san, um… what are you doing?”

“Please just bear with me for a moment…”

Continuing to undress until she stood in only her crimson panties, the blonde woman’s large breasts jiggled mesmerizingly as they were freed from her top. She hadn't been wearing a bra. Too taken aback to say anything else, the student council president sat before her couldn’t help but stare as her kohai lent down to place her clothes neatly in piles on the floor. Finally, after taking a deep breath, Ann put her hands on the hem of her underwear, pulling them down her legs before she could lose her resolve.

“L-Look, I understand you guys are um… A little more open with nudity but we’re at school!”

Placing her final garment on top of the rest, Ann prostrated herself just behind her clothing on the floor, her large boobs pressing into the cold ground with her naked back fully visible. Makoto realized she was performing a naked dogeza, a lewd variation of the traditional apologetic gesture that she occasionally came across in some of her more questionable choices of manga…

“…I wanted to apologize. I’m… really sorry for everything.”

“W-What do you mean…?”

“You know… How I blamed you for Kamoshida’s sexual harassment? Well, I wanted to apologize for that… I’ve honestly been meaning to this whole time. I said some horrible things to you…”

As Ann looked up at her from the floor, Niijima could tell from the sombre expression on her face that she was being entirely sincere.

“Takamaki-san…”

“I realized later that Shiho was calling out for me… and I wasn’t there to help her… I didn’t want to admit my own guilt… so I took it out on you, Niijima-senpai.”

“I’m… very sorry.”

“Well… That’s definitely a sure fire way of showing it… There’s um, really no need for all this… In fact, I think the two of us are pretty similar.”

“Huh…?”

“I was unable to save anyone. Not Suzui-san, and not any of Kaneshiro’s victims. I kept telling myself I wasn’t at fault because I was simply following orders… But that was all a lie. It felt like I would be admitting my own worthlessness had I not shifted the blame off of myself. Fear of that worthlessness was probably why I acted so harshly toward you and your friends.”

“...I’m deeply sorry as well.”

“I see…”

Getting up off the ground, Ann stood before her a little awkwardly, not one inch of her figure hidden from view. Something about the way Makoto kept glancing at her body inquisitively with that cute blush was making her feel surprisingly turned on… It was actually giving her a somewhat naughty idea…

“...In that case, wanna strip down and join me? That way we can call it even and you’ll get some great practice before having to go nude in front of the guys.”

“What?! But we’re at school… I-I mean I truly am sorry but-”

“Relax… I’m mostly kidding… This was kind of a stupid idea. I just really wanted a way to show you that I was being sincere… I think my whole stint as a nudist thief is really starting to get to me in weird ways.”

“Takamaki… I…”

“I’ll do it.”

“Huh? You really don’t have to-”

“No, I want to. I’m tired of being the stuck up teacher's pet all the time. I can be fun too!”

Chuckling nervously, Makoto began to strip, placing her uniform neatly on the floor in a similar fashion to Ann. Anxiously, and very red in the face she looked around the room to check they were truly alone and that no one would be able to see them through the window. When she was certain she reached around to remove her simple white bra, freeing her perky c-cup breasts. Too embarrassed to go any further she left her panties on and took a deep breath before prostrating herself before Takamaki, her peer quietly admiring the cute cartoon panda on the back of the student presidents underwear.

“I’m sorry Takmaki-san… For trying to blackmail you… For not acknowledging what was going on with Kamoshida… and for the cruel way I treated you. I forgive you for what you said so how about we agree to leave all this in the past?”

“Mm-hm!”

As Makoto glanced up for a moment she swore she saw a little of Ann’s arousal dripping down her thigh, but as the blonde woman extended a hand down to help her back up she decided just to chalk it up to a trick of the light.

“But… one more thing. You’re not worthless, Niijima-senpai.”

“You were a bit reckless, but you’re the reason we found a way into Kaneshiro’s Palace. And you even obtained the power to change people’s hearts. You did that all for yourself, Niijima-senpai.”

Unable to stop herself from chuckling a little at the absurdity of their situation, Makoto stood half covering herself with her hands with an embarrassed yet genuine smile on her face.

“That is just like you Takamaki-san… When you confronted me about Suzui-san, I realised how dishonest and small I was. You’re always very direct… That’s what helped me finally realize the error of my ways.”

“It turns out I’m a little slow on the uptake at times…”

“Hey… Um.. now we’ve seen each other like this it feels a little weird to just call each other by our second names… Can I call you Ann?”

“Um, yeah! I’m going to do the same, M-M-Makoto…. Rgh, how is that what I find embarrassing about this…”

“I can’t believe we’re standing here naked in the student council room… This feels so… so intense…”

“I know right! I guess you really aren’t all goodie goodie after all. And just look at that body!”

“H-Huh? Come on… I’m nothing special… I mean your breasts are so much bigger and nicer than mine…”

“Are you kidding me? You have abs, girl! And your ass! I bet the guys will be trothing when they see you.”

“You really think so…? Goodness…”

Looking down at her body the brunette sighed as she moved her hand down her muscles before absentmindedly lifting the hem of her panties and peaking at her most private place, glancing over at Ann’s as if comparing their genitals.

“I’m sure they’ll be much more interested in you… I mean you even trim your um… You know…”

“Feeling a little conscious about your bush? I can teach you how to trim it if you’d like.”

“Really? I mean… I never considered… Though if I'm going to have to go naked in front of…”

“Why don’t you come over to my place after school? We can even grab something to eat first and properly hang out!”

“T-That actually sounds quite nice.”

“Great! Then it’s a date! We should probably put our clothes back on now though huh.”

“Definitely, I think lunch is about to end and I really don’t want to be caught like this…”

Quickly redressing the two giggled as they discussed their evenings plans. Thinking back on things it had been too long since Makoto could consider herself as having a friend but now, no matter how absurd her life may have just gotten she couldn’t deny the warm feeling airing things out with Ann had given her.

 

* 21/6/20XX - Tuesday - After School *

 

“There, that wasn’t so bad now was it?”

Takemi removed the needle from Ren’s arm, having just injected him with another of her suspicious trial drugs. Though it stung a little he mostly just felt his arm going numb. Though Ren wasn’t expecting to visit his favourite doctor today, Makoto and Ann had ended up leaving a message in the group chat to explain that they wouldn't be available to begin their infiltration today so the thieves had agreed to put their plans on hold until tomorrow. Since he’d been meaning to come and see Tae again ever since running into her at the bath house he figured this would be a good opportunity.

“I’m glad you decided to come and visit me again today, little guinea pig. I was starting to worry you’d grown scared of me.”

“I’ve just been a bit busy lately. I really appreciate what you do for me, Takemi.”

“Good. I hope you realize I’m sticking my neck out for you selling you this medicine like this. What could you possibly even need it all for?”

“Exams…”

“Still going with that story huh? Well I won’t push you as long as you keep helping me out with my trials.”

“Um, excuse me?”

The two of them both turned towards the exam room door. It seemed somebody was calling out from inside the waiting room, judging by the sound of their voice, a young woman.

“Sit tight for a moment.”

As his favourite goth doctor made her way out of the room to meet whoever was outside, Ren did as he was told sitting quietly on the stool, not entirely confident about rushing around with whatever was circulating through his system at the moment. Still, he couldn’t help but listen in to the parts of the conversation he could make out, rather curious as to what exactly was going on. It was somewhat hard to properly hear all their words but it seemed whoever had arrived wanted Takemi to help her with some sort of rash.

After a little longer Tae brought her new patient inside and just like Ren thought it turned out to be a fairly young looking woman who couldn’t have been any older than he was. She had long straight dark brown hair that reached her upper back and her fringe was cut in a neat line just above her emerald coloured eyes. Whilst her expression was slightly nervous she was pretty cute with a rather pale complexion. She had what appeared to be a red lace tied to one side of her hair and like him, the brunette was dressed in a school uniform. It wasn’t a Shujin one, but he did recognize it as the colour scheme he occasionally saw Yusuke in. She must be a student at Kosei.

Looking around the examination room, she seemed surprised to see Ren sitting there. Adjusting her fringe she shuffled awkwardly on the spot as Tae moved over to grab the clipboard from her desk.

“Um… Hello.”

“Hi.”

“Don’t mind him, he’s just helping me out with some tests.”

“I see… Thank you for agreeing to help me even when you’re busy. My friend said you were the best in the area.”

“Really? I’m honestly a little surprised by that. I don’t mind giving you a quick once over if it will ease your nerves but it’s probably nothing a conventional cream couldn’t solve with some time.”

“I’m not so sure… I’ve been trying a similar approach for a week now and it really didn’t seem to have any effect.”

“That’s interesting, can you go ahead and describe your symptoms to me in detail? When did you start noticing the rash and have you suffered from any other health conditions recently?”

Taking a seat in front of Takemi, the girl proceeded to answer the doctors many questions about her health. Ren found it fascinating to see Tae work, even though he’d briefly helped her out with the young girl before he still found himself slightly surprised by her transformation when entering full doctor mode. It was as if her usual slightly scary, cold exterior completely shifted to a much more kind and understanding persona. As he continued to watch he felt a little awkward as he noticed the young woman frequently glancing over at him, and though it was obvious she was trying not to stare he could have sworn a slight flush had formed on her cheeks. Perhaps he should be waiting outside for this… Even if he had some mystery drugs floating around inside him at the moment he doubted his presence was making the poor girl feel any more at ease.

“Alright, that will conclude the verbal part of the exam. If you could go ahead and remove your uniform for me and lie back on the exam table we’ll start the physical. I’ll figure out what’s going on in no time.”

“My uniform? But the rash is just on my chest…”

“It’s possible that it’s already spread without displaying symptoms and it could even be caused by a different external condition. To perform a full evaluation I’ll need you to disrobe completely.”

“All of it…? Even my underwear?”

“That’s right.”

“But um… I… He…”

Clearly flustered, it seemed the poor woman was struggling to get out her words, only vaguely gesturing in Ren’s direction. He was pretty sure he knew what was wrong though, he could hardly blame her for not waiting to undress around a stranger of the opposite sex. From the look on Tae’s face it seemed she figured it out too though her response was rather surprising.

“I’ll go and wait outside.”

“Hold on just a moment Ren.”

“I’m afraid we’re going to have an issue if you are uncomfortable with having him in here with us. It’s my responsibility as a healthcare professional to keep a close eye on him whilst he’s undergoing this clinical trial.”

“I-It’s not that… I just mean… Um…”

“I really don’t mind stepping out…”

“I’m afraid that won’t work. I need to make sure you don’t suffer from any unknown side effects. It’s dangerous for you to leave my sight at the moment.”

The doctor turned back around and began to coax the cute student into sitting back on the exam table.

“Do you still want to proceed with the examination? You could always come back another time.”

“N-No… It’s okay…”

“Great, just think of him as my assistant. I assure you he won’t do anything funny. He’s actually rather proficient at being a nurse.”

I am?

“Well I…”

Peering over at Ren once more, even he was starting to get embarrassed. He didn’t want to make her uncomfortable but something about the way she was looking at him kind of made him start to think-

Oh… I think I understand what’s going on here.”

Tae smirked, leaning in closer to the woman on the table. Her voice became hushed and Ren started to struggle to hear what she was saying.

“In that case… I’ve got an idea. What do you think of this?”

The two of them whispered back and forth for a moment with the students' frequent glances towards him only growing more rapid. Nodding in agreement with Takemi, her flush seemed to be growing a shade deeper. Ren couldn’t help but feel a little awkward feeling a lot like he really shouldn’t be here.

“Very well.”

“Ren, would you mind coming over here for just a moment?”

Stepping forward the raven haired man felt a bead of sweat drop down his brow. Tae had a devious grin on her face and from his previous experience he knew that meant she had something planned that would probably get him in trouble…

“What’s up?”

“Ms Togo has kindly agreed to let you stay during her exam so I can continue to monitor your condition however there is one condition. I’m going to ask that you undress too, that way she can feel more at ease about not being the only one undressed.”

“W-What?”

Did he hear her right just now? Looking over at the girl on the table she couldn’t even make eye contact with him but she didn’t seem surprised.

“Are you serious?”

“Entirely. Please remove your clothing when you’re ready to begin.”

Was that really what this girl wanted? And why was he considering going along with it? Though he had to admit something about the idea was sort of…

“Would that really make you feel more comfortable?”

The Kosei woman nervously looked back over at him, unable to speak but slowly nodding.

“Fine.”

“That’s a good guinea pig. You can put your uniform just over there.”

Something about the way Tae bossed him around really got to a part of himself deep within… Doing as he was told he began to undress, folding his clothes neatly until he stood in only his black briefs. He could feel Togo staring at his chest, and rather than feeling embarrassed he couldn’t help but feel a little proud. His efforts in the Metaverse really had helped in giving him some of the muscle mass he previously lacked. Before coming to Tokyo he was actually a little conscious of how scrawny and lanky he was.

“What do you think? He’s got a fairly impressive figure, right?”

“Indeed…”

The girl's voice was quiet and timid. Hearing her complement him like that was so fucking cute… Before he could do anything else Tae suddenly grabbed his underwear and pulled them down his legs causing his penis flop free. Quickly covering himself in surprise he suddenly realised how cold it was in this well air conditioned room…

“Hands by your sides now. Let Togo-chan see everything so she realizes there's nothing to be embarrassed about.”

Now it was his turn to blush. Lowering his hands he stood with his manhood on full display, his cock slowly starting to harden under the intense gaze of the two women in front of him. To say he wasn’t enjoying the sensation would only be lying to himself…

“O-Oh my…”

It didn’t take long for his cock to finish becoming fully erect and all his instincts were telling him to cover up to avoid offending Togo but he knew that would only cause Tae to tease him even more. Considering how intensely she was staring, perhaps he was getting worried for nothing…

“It looks like my little guinea pig is enjoying this.”

“Sorry…”

“N-No it’s okay! I mean really I don’t mind…”

“I bet you don’t. I suppose calling him my little guinea pig is rather inaccurate. Now, are you ready to join him so we can finally start the examination?”

“W-Well I… Um… Sorry…”

“Still too nervous? Perhaps Ren could assist you then?”

“What?”

“You don’t mind helping her out do you?”

“I-”

“He doesn’t have to… but um… Maybe that would help…”

“Really?”

“You heard the young woman. Get too it nurse.”

Deciding to just roll with it, he carefully approached the woman lying on the table, never making the first move as to ensure she was entirely comfortable with what was going on. After checking one final time that she didn't want to back out he aided her in removing her clothing until she was left in just her underwear. From her reactions he was now certain she had at least a slight crush on him and after feeling his courage being tested he decided to take the opportunity to have a little fun with her, the close contact of their barely clothed bodies clouding his thoughts. Climbing up onto the table, the dark haired woman smiled though still unable to make eye contact as he reached around her back to unhook her bra.

Her body heat caused his heart rate to quicken as he shuffled back to let her boobs fall free of their prison. They were small and perky, each topped with cute dark red nipples and the adorable noise Togo made when they came into view almost made him lose control. Passing the bra back to Tae he looked down eagerly at the final piece of clothing on her body, her simple white panties.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes…”

Not needing to be told twice, Ren leaned forward over the young woman’s lower body, placing his hands on the waistband of her last remaining cover. Slowly beginning to pull them down her thighs, her cute smile never left her embarrassed face as her eyes awkwardly darted between his awkward grin and his erection, pointing right up towards her body. The girl's nipples stood firmly erect, betraying her arousal as her chest moved up and down at an increasing pace. Having finally finished stripping her, Ren climbed off the table to place her underwear neatly with the rest of her piled clothing before turning to take in the freshly uncovered view of her most intimate place, hiding modestly between her tightly closed legs. Her vulva was a shade darker than the rest of her pale skin, her tight lips easily concealing whatever treasures lay within and her pubic hair formed a trimmed yet slightly messy triangle shape just above her opening. He could feel his cock twitching as he took in the view.

“Alright, thank you Ren. Now if you wouldn’t mind standing just over here in clear view of Togo-chan I will begin my examination.”

Doing just that he stood enthralled by the sight in front of him. Tae slowly went over each part of her body, making notes on her clipboard as Togo repeatedly glanced over at his naked body. When she was finally finished Tae informed her that the rash was seemingly caused by an allergic reaction to the cotton used in her underwear. Recommending some alternate brands, the young woman covered herself up with her hands and thanked them both profusely before getting up and redressing, placing the offending article in her bag. Seemingly having reached her limit she was eager to leave and after Tae declined a payment she began to make her way towards the door. Turning back to Ren she looked over him one final time before bowing politely.

“Um… It was nice to meet you…”

“My pleasure…”

With a giggle she departed leaving Ren feeling slightly disappointed as he realised he never properly asked her name… Tae placed a hand on his shoulder before sitting back in her chair, her expression more smug than he’d ever seen it before.

“She was really into you huh? How are you feeling?”

“Alright I think…”

“Yeah? No light headedness from the drug? True be told, I was wondering how arousal would affect your reaction.”

“So that was part of your tests?”

“Come on now, you should be thanking me. I could tell you enjoyed that just as much as she did. If you can find her again you might even get lucky.”

“Besides, I had no idea she’d be joining us anyway. I merely used the resources that fell into my lap. You can redress now if you’d like. Or don’t, I hardly mind. When you’re ready I want to finish our tests.”

After a few more questions and prods from Tae he finally felt the last of the slight uneasiness from the drug wearing off.

“...Okay, that’s all for today. If you’re feeling okay, you can go home now.”

An abrupt ringing sound suddenly filled the clinic as the phone on the doctors desk began to ring.

“Hello. Doctor Takemi’s Clinic of Internal Medicine.”

“...What? Again? That’s, well… that ship’s already sailed, so…”

“I understand.”

Placing the phone back in the handset Tae let out a sigh as she leaned back in her chair.

“...What a pain.”

“Is everything alright?”

“You remember that young girl from the other day? The Chief of Staff Oyamada’s patient? Her dad’s still been bringing her here to be treated even though I referred them to another hospital.”

“I even told them about the medical error I made… Plus that young woman today said her friend recommended me… More and more people are starting to come here for treatments…”

“Seems like people still really trust you.”

“I’m just a quack though…”

“The medical error was well-documented. Everyone in my field knows about it. I led the development of a new drug for an incurable illness called Crawford-Ende’s disease.”

“Although I wasn’t the one who administered the medicine, it was the cause of the error.”

“Takemi, what actually happened to you?”

“With Crawford-Ende’s, certain cells indiscriminately attack other cells throughout the body. When it reaches the muscles, the patient slowly begins to die… There hasn’t been much progress made on it-partly because there haven’t been many cases of it.”

“I worked with a pharmaceutical company that had reached the final stage of production, but… One day, I was suddenly removed from my position. That Chief of Staff Oyamada, my superior at the time, took over the entire operation.”

“I don’t know if he wanted the glory of developing a new drug or to become rich and famous, but… He made careless mistakes and rushed completion so he could use it on a patient named Miwa. Miwa-chan had a reaction and lapsed into critical condition. The chief panicked and laid the blame on me.”

“Miwa-chan and her family resented me…”

“...No matter what I said, I couldn’t change how they felt about me.”

“Maybe it’s not too late to tell them what really happened?”

“No, it doesn't matter… The development of the medicine was completely suspended, so I had no reason to stay at the hospital.”

“At least now I can keep working as a general practitioner, on my own terms… with my favourite guinea pig.”

“Heh.”

“That’s the new medicine I’ve been trying out on you. A complete cure that’s in the final stage of testing. It searches for those cells that take the offensive and destroys them upon detection.”

“That’s why it’s harmless for people who don’t have the disease… probably.”

“...Probably?”

“Well, nothing in life is guaranteed, right?”

Takemi chuckled as she ran a finger up his bare chest.

“Don’t make that face. There’s nothing to worry about really. This substance can’t cause any harm to cells that haven’t been infected. You’d better not flake on me this late in the game. I’m inching closer to the finish line, but I need your help to reach it. In exchange, I can offer you more medicine at a special price. I’m counting on you, my little guinea pig.”

“Now come on, you should probably get dressed and head home. It’s late already.”

“Oh and Ren. Thanks again for the help today.”

 

* 21/6/20XX - Tuesday - Evening *

 

The setting sun shone in through the large glass wall on the far side of Takamaki’s apartment, coating the neatly kept modern style furniture in a warm cosy glow. Stepping into the living space, Ann and Makoto had just stepped inside after spending their afternoon hanging out and having dinner.

“Wow, your apartment is very well kept Ann-chan.”

Placing their leftover takeout down on a countertop, Ann turned over to the brunette and smiled.

“Thanks! My parents are out of town but they like to send over our maid every now and then to check on me. She keeps the place pretty spotless.”

“That must be nice. It’s just me and my sister at home and she’s always busy with work so I end up having to be the one to keep on top of the chores.”

“And you still have time to keep up your studies and act as the student council president? You really are pretty Impressive Makoto.”

“Thanks, I’m still not quite used to hearing people call me by my first name…”

“You don’t have anyone else on a first name basis?”

“Only my sister… Unfortunately I have a bit of a bad reputation at school so…”

“I understand. Well hey, now you have us!”

After talking some more with the thieves over their group chat, Niijima had decided to extend the rest of them the same grace she had Ann, with all of them agreeing there was really no need to be formal after what they'd been through.

Practically prancing across the room towards an entryway further inside, Ann stood holding up her hand, pointing towards a nearby door.

“The bathroom’s just in here. I’m thinking a shower first, then we can move on to our little lesson.”

“Right, I suppose I’ll just wait out here then…”

“Huh? Didn’t you want me to teach you how to trim?”

“Y-You want me to come in the shower with you?”

“Oh my god, you’re adorable. You really don’t need to be so shy, we’re all girls here, plus we’re totally friends now right?”

“Well… Something tells me this isn’t exactly a normal situation for friends to be in either…”

“I’ll admit it’s a little different but given our unique situation it’s not so strange. We’ll see each other plenty in the Metaverse after all.”

“I suppose that’s true… Sorry, I’m still just getting used to all of this.”

“That’s totally okay! If you ever feel too uncomfortable just tell me and we can stop whatever it is right away.”

“Thanks…”

Anxiously following Ann inside, Makoto was quickly distracted from her embarrassment by the impressiveness of the cosy bathroom she’d just walked into. Like the rest of her apartment it was furnished in a modern style, and each and every surface was almost spotless. There were plenty of products, lotions, and fragrances set around and the shower itself looked very spacious and inviting.

“Wow, this is seriously impressive.”

“Yeah, you like? Feel free to use any products you want. Mi casa is you casa.”

Makoto chuckled, "I don't think that's quite how that goes but I apricate the thought."

Already beginning to remove her clothes, Takamaki had turned to face a large wooden set of shelves, neatly stacking each garment into a basket. The brunette couldn’t resist staring on as more of the model's buxom figure was revealed… She really did have an impressive figure and her breasts were so big… Letting out a sigh of content Ann turned back around now fully nude. Placing one hand on her hip she gestured over to the empty basket next to the one she’d placed her clothes in, the movement of her arm causing her boobs to jiggle distractingly.

“You can put your clothes in the basket here.”

Despite having seen her nude just earlier that day, the surreal feeling of being so close to somebody unrelated to her in such a state still weighed heavily on Makoto’s mind as she nervously stepped forwards. Since Ann had removed her hair ties her beautiful blonde hair flew neatly down her back which almost made the student council president feel like she was seeing her even more exposed.

“Right.”

Ann didn’t say a word as she watched the brunette slowly begin to remove her own uniform, simply standing there smiling, seemingly completely un phased by the situation. Makoto had to guess that she had experience sharing a bathroom like this with somebody before.

It didn't take long for her to strip down to her underwear, and after internally reassuring herself that she was just undressing for a shower like normal, except this time she would be sharing it with a super hot model, she somehow convinced her arms to take the next step in removing her last bits of cover. Placing her bra and panties on the shelf she found herself unable to avoid instinctually covering her genitals with her hands… When she turned back towards Ann to find her fiddling with the controls of the shower she began to feel even more insecure as she took in her friend's posterior. As if she sensed this Takamaki turned around and flashed her a reassuring smile.

“Looking good!”

She really was so brave. Makoto quietly scolded herself. How could she let herself get so caught up with her nudity when it was just the two of them like this. Deep down she knew that Ann would never make fun or laugh at her for her body and she really could trust her but still… If she was letting it get to her this much with just another girl she began to worry how she would be able to handle being seen by the guys. In her previous trip she had been too caught up by the adrenaline of awakening to her nudesona to really notice but next time she might not always have the cover of her bike.

No. I can do this. I will overcome my weaknesses and be useful to the team.

Taking a deep breath, Makoto lowered her hands, finally revealing herself in full to the nude woman before her. The feeling of Ann’s gaze washing over each and every part of her body was intense… Very intense.

“Wow… that is quite the bush.”

Ann’s eyes went wide. She was really taking her in…

“I mean, don’t get me wrong, you’re fucking gorgeous. Having hair down there isn’t always a bad thing but I can see why you might want to neaten up a little.”

“You really think I look okay?”

“Definitely! Remember what I told you earlier in the student council room? I wasn’t kidding, you got major ass girl. You're totally fit!”

“Thank you…”

“Oh my god you’ve gone bright red, that is so fucking adorable.”

Ann could tell by the cute, slightly grumpy disappointed noise Makoto made in response that she didn’t quite appreciate her enjoying her shame.

“Sorry… I didn’t mean to make it worse…”

“No, you’re fine… I guess the reality of what we’re going to be doing is only now really starting to set in… Every bodies going to see me when I've barely even ever been undressed around my sister…”

“I still remember when I first awakened back when we were dealing with Kamoshida… We hadn't met Yusuke back then but still, running around nude with two guys and Morgana was pretty awful at first… It does get slightly easier with time… In a weird sort of way…”

“I trust the guys a lot and I know they’d never really do anything weird but it was still pretty mentally taxing to feel their gaze on me all the time… But in a way it was also sort of empowering… To see how they couldn’t resist me, and their bodies reactions…”

For a moment it almost seemed like Ann was getting caught up in her thoughts but after realizing what she was saying she quickly pulled herself out.

“Um, what I mean to say is you’re not the only one in this situation, we all are. Even the guys aren’t exactly naked by choice, I'm sure they’re just as embarrassed as we are really… Well maybe except for Yusuke... I’m just pretty excited to not be the only lady on the team anymore.”

“I suppose I am certainly glad I don’t have to be the only girl…”

“Exactly. We’ll share the burden of the guys staring together!”

Sharing a shower with somebody turned out to be a rather unique experience, even if Ann’s was large enough to fit them both with ease. Being so confined with somebody in such a vulnerable state whilst rubbing your hands all over your body… Makoto didn’t linger under the water for too long and thankfully it seemed Takamaki was on a similar wavelength keeping things largely to the point. She also wasn’t ignorant to the way her blonde friend would frequently look at her intimates much more than simply somebody who was simply curious…

When they finally got out they spent a moment drying themselves off with some wonderfully warm heated fluffy towels before Ann brought out two stools for them to sit on. Placing them one in front of the other she proceeded to remove her towel and gather a handful of supplies from a cabinet under the sink along with two fresh razors. Taking a seat she gestured for her new friend to join her sitting on the opposite stool. Before long Makoto found herself sitting there with a rather explicit view between the blonde girls spread legs. A little reluctantly she decided to remove her own towel and assume the same position, parting her thighs wide on the stool and almost certainly allowing her friend to see every inch of her now exposed genitals.

“So how much do you know about doing this exactly?”

“Um… To be honest not much at all… I’ve never even really thought about shaving before…”

“That’s okay! The first step is like going to a hairdresser, we need to figure out how much you’d like to take off.”

“Mind if I touch you for a moment?”

“T-Touch me? Is that really necessary..?”

“Just to see what we’re working with exactly, it would help me guide you a lot but it’s completely ok if that’s too much for you.”

“Well I… Um… If you really need to, I guess it’s okay…”

“Great! Just tell me to stop if it’s too much alright?”

“R-Right.”

Leaning forwards Ann began to gently run her fingers through Makoto’s bush, clearly taking effort not to touch her labia but occasionally slipping up a little. Makoto didn’t masturbate often at all really but the sensation of having somebody else touch her down there was…

“O-Oh-”

Either ignoring Makoto’s cute little moan on purpose or simply being too distracted by her genitals, Ann paid her no mind as she continued.

“Wow, there really is quite a lot here… Are you thinking you want to shave it all off or just trim it? I can help you do a cute shape like mine if you’d like.”

Doing her best not to be distracted by the foreign hand over her vulva, Makoto was somehow able to get out a cohesive reply.

“Definitely not getting rid of it all… Um to be honest I don’t really want to do this too often… Maybe just make things neat?”

“Yeah I understand. To be honest before becoming a nudist thief I only really used to trim whenever it was bikini season… I wouldn’t get any modelling gigs otherwise…”

“Oh yes, I forgot that you’re a model… Um, what’s that like?”

Looking up at her whilst still idly playing with her pubes, Makoto was starting to have doubts that Ann’s groping was really a necessary part of this process…

“It’s pretty fun most of the time! I get a lot of free clothing and I meet some really cool people too. I’m not quite decided if it’s what I want to do forever though, you know?”

“Sort of… Um, are you finished touching now?”

“O-Oh! Sorry, I got a little carried away there… It’s just I used to do this with Shiho and well… It’s been a while but yeah, I’ve finished now…”

Finally sitting back a slightly awkward look washed over Ann’s face…

“We can continue.”

Shiho? Does that mean..?

Slowly putting a few pieces together in her head Makoto came to a realization.

“U-Um… Ann I was wondering… Are you by chance interested in women… Sexually I mean…”

>“Heh… Guess I’m making it a little obvious huh… Yeah, to be honest I think I’m still figuring myself out but I’m definitely at least bi… That doesn’t make you uncomfortable doing this does it?”

“N-Not any more than I sort of already am… But um, it’s fine really, I was just curious.”

“Oh yeah? Bi curious? Wanna touch me too? I don’t mind.”

“N-No! I mean, thanks for the offer and everything but um… I’m not…”

“It’s okay, I get it. Besides I knew you weren’t gay from the way you keep checking out Ren in the palace! You’re totally into him right? I mean you barely looked at Ryuji.”

“I um… I… Let’s just continue please…”

“Alright, but he totally noticed you looking too. You might need to work on being discreet.”

“Do you really think he noticed?”

“Girl, I noticed! And I'm not the one with his crazy powers sixth sense. I can hardly blame you though, he’s totally adorable. Plus he’s totally getting toned thanks to all our shadow fighting. I wouldn’t be surprised if he caught up to you in the sexy abs department!”

“Oh my god…”

Continuing to gossip as Ann showed Makoto how to safely and effectively tidy up her pubic hair, the brunette was eventually left with a much more manageable neat bush which left the lower part of her lips and labia fully visible. After rinsing off the cream she looked at her pussy in one of Ann’s handheld mirrors and had to admit to herself she was happier about being seen like this than the mess it was before, even if it did feel totally weird.

Ann clearly agreed as she was staring at freshly neatened design even more than she was, causing Makoto to feel rather proud of her work.

“OMG your labia is so pretty I'm totally jealous… I love how it’s parted like that! To be honest I’m a little conscious about mine… I think it sticks out way too much…”

Never mind, she was just leering at her vagina…

“I think your labia is fine Ann… You told me yourself that the guys couldn’t keep their eyes off you so they clearly like it as well…”

“Yeah… I know… Shiho even… Um, never mind… Are you ready to continue?”

“Continue?”

“That’s right! We just have to take care of your um, rear exit, then we’ll be all done!”

The slowly fading flush of Makoto’s face quickly began to return.

“O-oh…”

“Come on, there’s no need to be shy now. We all saw it when you were riding your bike anyway.”

“W-What?”

“Huh? You didn’t realise? Well the way you ride your bike sort of leaves everything pretty exposed...”

Whilst Makoto was sure the other thieves must have at least seen her back and ass when she awakened, maybe even a bit of her breasts, she didn’t consider until now that they may have already gotten a much more explicit view…

“E-Exposed? You mean everybody already saw my…”

“Yeah… I’m afraid so…”

“Oh my god…. How am I going to look any of the guys in the face…”

“Come on, it isn’t so bad… See?”

Shifting back on her stool, Ann gently spread her left cheek causing the pink ring of her anus to slowly come into view. Though she was still smiling it was obvious from the flush of her cheeks this was pretty embarrassing for her too.

“I need to tidy up mine again so I'll go first. Just watch how I do it, it’s pretty similar to what we did before.”

“Right…”

Though watching another girl shave her asshole was certainly not what Makoto thought she would be doing when she left for school that morning it was somehow where she had ended up. Sighing she accepted this was likely going to be a recurring theme in her life from now on and after working up the courage to spread her own cheeks she did her best to follow along with the rather explicit tutorial… After all, if what Ann said about the way she rode her bike was true she wouldn’t want Ren to think she was… Ren…

At this moment the realization hit her like a tonne of bricks…

Oh my god… I really do like him don’t I…

Makoto Niijima officially had a crush on the delinquent transfer student that kept stepping up to save her… To the point where she’d somehow convinced herself she needed to shave her asshole.
