at?”
    “The front gate. There should be plenty of students heading home right now.”
    “Oh, really,” was my response as I moved to pick up the paper bag, before Haruhi stopped me.
    “You don’t need to come. Mikuru’s the one who’s coming with me.”
    “What?”
    Asahina, holding the half-sheet of paper in her hands and reading its poorly written contents, tilted her head. Haruhi rummaged through the other paper bag and vigorously pulled an item out.
    “Ta-da!”
    Looking as triumphant as an Olympic gold medalist, Haruhi pulled out what first appeared to be a piece of black cloth. But oh no—! Once Haruhi had finished removing objects from her bottomless bag, I realized why Haruhi had designated Asahina for the task and began praying for her. May your soul rest in peace.
    Black leotard, fishnet stockings, attachable ears, and a bow tie along with a white collar, cuffs, and tail.
    It looked undeniably like a bunny girl outfit.
    “Um, um, um, what is this for?”
    That was Asahina, sounding quite frightened.
    “Can’t you tell?
Bunny girl.

    That was Haruhi, sounding quite calm.
    “Y-Y-You can’t mean for me to wear…”
    “Of course. There’s one for me, too.”
    “I-I can’t wear something like that!”
    “Don’t worry. The size should be right.”
    “That’s not what I meant. Um, are we going to wear those while passing out flyers at the school gate….”
    “Isn’t that obvious?”
    “I-I don’t want to!”
    “Shut up.”
    Crap. She had that flinty look in her eyes. Haruhi leapt onto Asahina the way a lioness would attack a stray gazelle and began removing the sailor uniform from the struggling girl.
    “Noooo!”
    “Stop resisting!”
    Making outrageous demands, Haruhi pinned down Asahina. She easily pulled off her top and moved her fingers to the hook of the skirt, which is when I thought I better stop this and moved toward them only to meet Asahina’s eyes.
    “Don’t look!”
    Upon hearing that cry, I did an about-face and ran to the door—damn, it was locked—and wasted time rattling and turning the knob before I finally unlocked the door and tumbled outside.
    And based on a quick side glance during all of this, Yuki Nagato was reading her book as though nothing was happening.
    Don’t you have anything to say about this?
    As I leaned against the closed door, I could hear…
    “Ah!” “No!” “At least… l-let me undress myself… Noo!”
    … pitiable screams from Asahina…
    “Ergh! C’mon! Take it all off! You should have listened to me to begin with!”
    … and such triumphant battle cries from Haruhi.
    Meh. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to know what was going on in there, naturally.
    Some time later, I received a signal.
    “You can come in now!”
    When I hesitantly returned to the room, I was met by the sight of two unbelievably perfect bunny girls. Haruhi and Asahina both looked amazing.
    Low cut in front with an open back. High cut on the bottom with fishnet stockings wrapped around the legs. The bunny ears swaying on top of their heads and white collar and cuffs scored bonus points. Not that I knew what the points were for.
    The combination of Haruhi, who has a slender build yet with curves, and Asahina, who looks small yet sticks out in all the right places, was too much for my eyes.
    As I pondered if I should say “It looks good on you” to the sobbing Asahina, Haruhi spoke.
    “What do you think?”
    What do I think? I can only think that your mental capabilities are suspect.
    “This’ll be perfect for attracting attention! Most of the people walking by will take our flyers if we’re dressed like this. Right?”
    “Well, yeah. Two people dressed in costumes standing around school are bound to attract attention…. What about Nagato?”
    “I could only buy two of them. I got the full set so it was expensive.”
    “Where do they sell this stuff?”
    “I ordered it online.”
    “… I see.”
    I was wondering why I didn’t have to look
