The School Uniform That Doesn’t Fit
It was spring break in Japan, just as cherry blossoms were starting to bloom and before Amakawa Haruto was to start his third year of high school.
Meanwhile, Sumeragi Satsuki was beginning her first year of university and had started living alone to prepare herself to integrate into society. She was currently organizing her belongings in the apartment she had moved into. She opened one of her many suitcases of clothes and took out an outfit to look at.
“Whoa, this brings back memories...” Satsuki blinked. “Wait, why is my middle school uniform here?”
She snapped back to her senses. Right—the school uniform of the middle school she attended three years ago was packed in her suitcase. The shirt had a white base with a red scarf at the chest, and the dress was a pleated ocher. It was a generic sailor uniform design.
I wonder if it still fits...? Satsuki hummed in contemplation. I’m sure I’ll fit... Right?
Her height and weight shouldn’t have changed that much since middle school, but three years had passed since she graduated. The possibility that she couldn’t fit in it anymore flashed through her head, making her expression fall with uncertainty. However, her curiosity made her face her fear.
Well, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to try...
Despite her hesitation, Satsuki decided to try on her middle school uniform. She removed her clothes and pushed her arms through the sleeves of the uniform she last wore three years ago. The shirt was a little tight on her, but—
“See, it fits!” Satsuki exhaled in relief.
But it hadn’t been easy. Her bust had grown bigger, so her shirt was shorter, almost revealing her belly. She’d also put on more weight around her hips, making her skirt feel shorter. It wasn’t as though anyone could see her, but Satsuki blushed in embarrassment anyway.
“Whoa...”
She walked to the bathroom and checked her appearance in the mirror. It really didn’t fit her, and it made her feel like she was cosplaying.
Let’s take this off now.
Just as Satsuki thought that—Knock knock: the sound of someone knocking on her front door.
“A knock... Oh, c-could that be Haruto?”
The apartment Satsuki had moved into was in the same building as the apartment Haruto rented. Haruto had offered to help out after she moved in, but there was the possibility that the electricity contract hadn’t been completed yet, so they agreed he would knock when visiting.
“W-Wait, it’s Haruto, right? Hold on a minute!” Satsuki yelled towards the door.
“All right.”
It really was Haruto outside the door. Once Satsuki confirmed that, she set about taking off her sailor uniform in a hurry. However—
“H-Huh?”
She tried to pull her arm back out of the sleeve, but the fabric was tough and got caught midway. She put in more strength to remove it in a fluster.
“Ugh...”
She had forcefully twisted her body too far, crushing her chest in pain.
I’ll start from the head, then...
Satsuki gave up on the sleeves and pulled the fabric on her chest upwards. But once the cloth was pulled up to her eyes, it wouldn’t budge.
I-It really is too tight...! Wh-What should I do? I can’t keep Haruto waiting forever...!
With her entire belly revealed, Satsuki panicked. However, a short while later, she marched towards the entrance as though she had made up her mind. She was still wearing her school uniform.
“Listen, Haruto. You’re about to witness a woman’s secret. You’re a gentleman, so I’m sure you know already, but you must keep quiet about this from everyone. Got it?” Satsuki suddenly demanded through the door.
“Huh?”
“Got it?! I’m going to open the door!”
“Y-Yes ma’am...!”
Haruto had no idea what was happening, but nodded under the pressure Satsuki was exerting. Seconds later, she opened the door...
Haruto was immediately greeted by the sight of Satsuki in a sailor uniform that didn’t fit her. Huh? Why a sailor uniform? was the question written on his face, but he didn’t say anything out loud. Instead, he simply stared at her in a daze.
“N-No staring! I’ll explain inside, so just come in!”
Satsuki tugged on the hem of her shirt in an attempt to hide her belly, then grabbed Haruto’s arm with a furious blush and quickly dragged him inside.
