Chapter 254

Sakurakoji Talent smiled faintly and shook his head, "No money is needed, Kitagawa-classmate, you only need to pay for the materials."

"Hey? Ma Ji?!"

She blinked in disbelief.

Chapter 302 Is your measurement really legitimate?

Then, as if she had thought of something, she shyly turned her head away, released his hand, and tightly gripped her shirt.

Her pink, rosy lips exhaled damp air, and her whole body was enveloped in a light pink aura.

If there's anything about her that would attract him, it's only...

"Sakurakoji-kun, the conditions you mentioned, it can't be...?"

"Yes, I want you to be my model."

"Huh?"

Kitagawa Marin was taken aback, then realized what she meant and awkwardly fanned herself with her hand, "Ah, ah! Is that so? You're right!"

"Yes! No problem! Perfect!"

Ignoring her amusing, dreamy expression, Sakurakoji Talent continued to explain, "Lately, I've been getting a bit bored making clothes by myself. If no one wears them, they're just clothes, nothing more than empty shelves."

"And recently I've also become a bit interested in photography, but I'm struggling to find models to photograph..."

Kitagawa Marin crossed his arms and listened, nodding frequently, completely "understanding" his feelings.

"Sure! It's so boring to be a shut-in all by myself, I know! Nobody around me is interested in 2D, so it's always just me talking to myself, it's so boring!"

"Huh?"

Speaking of this, she remembered a question, "Sakurakoji-kun, since you can make your own clothes, why don't you make some for yourself? I see that most of those clothes are for female characters, right?"

"And it's such a shame that I've never seen you post any cosplay pictures online! If you did, you'd definitely get a lot of attention, given how good you are!"

"Well, there are some reasons, I wasn't really keen on wearing it myself before,"

He looked away. "Making clothes for female characters is just because it will increase their popularity."

"I see."

She expressed her understanding and did not ask any further questions.

But I still have some doubts. Would people who like 2D not want to do role-playing games? If they're worried they're not suited for it, that's another story...

"Well then, without further ado, let's start taking your measurements."

After glancing at the time, Sakurakoji Talent issued the task.

"Eh? Now?"

"Yes, of course. I don't know when you'll be coming next time, right? Let's take the measurements today, and then I'll go out and buy the materials later, so I can start making it."

He said it as a matter of course.

"Ah, that's true, um! I understand!"

Kitagawa Marin nodded solemnly, and with anticipation, followed him back to the studio. "What do I need to do?"

"Take off your clothes."

He picked up the measuring tape that was on the workbench.

"Oh, right, that's how you take measurements."

Without the slightest hesitation, Kitagawa Marin began to gently unbutton her blouse and take it off.

Halfway through untying her clothes, she blushed slightly and looked up to ask, "Um, I wasn't prepared today, so I'm wearing my underwear..."

"Huh? So what? Don't you usually wear a bra underneath?"

"No... it's nothing."

What she meant was that if she had known beforehand, she would have come in her swimsuit.

But seeing his innocent, gem-like eyes, she felt that having such superfluous thoughts made her a truly filthy and wicked high school girl...

Having taken off her denim shorts along with her clothes, Kitagawa Marin last two pieces, stood somewhat lonely in the room, one arm around the other elbow.

The temperature was quite comfortable at this point; she didn't feel cold at all, in fact, she felt rather hot.

She wiggled her pink toes, looking down nervously. Although her love for the role made her do it unconsciously, now that she thought about it, wasn't such a move a bit too bold?

Looking at her youthful, voluptuous body, both innocent and full-figured, at the Sakurakoji Talent's eyes narrowed slightly with amusement.

Black lace, huh? That looks quite mature.

You're going to test your cadres with this? Which cadre can't withstand it... Well, indeed, very few cadres can.

Her shapely figure, the full curves of her body, her delicate, pinkish-white skin, her stunningly beautiful face, and her adorable nails that made you want to kiss them... she was truly breathtakingly beautiful.

That impressive physique is almost comparable to that of model Ouka Mai... wait, isn't she a model too? Maybe a part-time hair model, or something else?

If he had encountered a normal man, he probably wouldn't have been able to control himself by now. Unfortunately, he has seen too many women's bodies since he was a child, and his body is different from that of ordinary people, so he basically doesn't feel anything.

Although things have improved recently, making me more easily triggered, it's still easy to control if I want to.

"Let's begin. First, let's measure the horizontal and vertical circumference of the head."

He took out his special measuring chart and marker and walked over to her.

Although he was confident in his eyesight, there was too much data, so it would be better to measure it in person to dispel her concerns and prevent her from being uneasy.

"Oh, oh, okay..."

Kitagawa Marin nervously pursed her lips. His figure grew larger and larger in her contact lenses, his imposing good looks, which were bad for anyone's heart, came closer and closer, making her heart beat faster.

His unique, aloof, and faint fragrance calmed her mind considerably, and the cool touch of the measuring tape made her senses even more acute... as if she could feel his body temperature.

"Next is the neck circumference; please gather your hair up."

"I see."

Looking at his face, which was extremely close to hers, no more than twenty centimeters away, Kitagawa Marin felt that she was about to lose her composure.

"Then the shoulders and arms, wrists, yes, yes, raise them horizontally..."

Sakurakoji Talent conducted the tests while recording the data in a table, his expression unwavering.

He wasn't joking; he'd experienced this scenario countless times. Just Okura Rumin —he'd measured her every time since elementary school... cough cough, in short, he's very experienced.

"Next is your abdomen. Ah~ don't deliberately contract it, not even by one centimeter. You're not fat, don't worry."

"Your glutes are beautiful, but relax, um, that's it..."

"Wow~ Nice leg-to-body ratio, something to be proud of. Next up is the inner seam."

"..."

Finally, after taking most of the data, Sakurakoji Talent looked gently at Kitagawa Marin, whose face was flushed, and said softly, "You know what we're going to measure next, right?"

Kitagawa Marin's stiff body trembled. Recalling the important area he had deliberately ignored, her voice was dry. "It's... it's my chest..."

"Yes, you got it right! Not bad at all!"

He patted her little head approvingly.

"Okay, pull your hair back and hold it in place, lean forward at a 45-degree angle, and I'll take your measurements from behind."

"I... I understand!"

Kitagawa Marin's eyes were filled with Shy. So being measured was such an embarrassing thing?!

"Lift your hips up a little higher, yeah, that's it~"

"If you let your waist drop a little more, the pose will look better... no, it'll make it easier to get the optimal measurements!"

"Sorry, I bumped into it Kokoro. But it's normal to touch things during measurements, don't worry about it!"

"Is the measuring section in the very center too tight and a little uncomfortable? That might just be your perception; trust my expertise!"

"..."

After a short yet seemingly endless measurement period, Kitagawa Marin sat wearily against the workbench, panting heavily, her small mouth exhaling warm, moist breath.

Sakurakoji Talent, feeling no fatigue, continued sketching something, because his S-spirit was greatly satisfied, and he felt joy instead.

This child has great potential. Maybe we should get her a Saber wedding dress sometime; it might look amazing?

"Hey, to make the character's breasts look good, the next step is... the distance between the nipples? Do you need me to measure it for you?"

He looked at her jokingly.

"Or is a rough estimate acceptable?"

"No way! I'm really fixated on that!"

Kitagawa Marin's expression changed to one of embarrassment, her ears turning bright red as she glanced to the side. "But, but, I can do this myself!"

"Oh, then here's the measuring tape."

"Uh-huh."

She spread out a measuring tape and began gesturing in front of him with her back to him.

Ten seconds later.

"It's 20 centimeters."

"Oh? That's a really good standard. That's a good number, something to be proud of."

He wrote it down in his notebook.

"Thank you, thank you."

Even though she took the test herself, for some reason, she still felt incredibly ashamed.

"Okay, that's about it. Just tell me the shoe size, and then go to the store to buy a similar one."

He placed the measuring tape and notebook on the workbench and concluded.

"Can't Sakurakoji-kun make shoes?"

She licked her dry pink lips with her red tongue, somewhat curious.

"Well, it's not that I don't know how, but I'm not as skilled as I am with clothes."

He shrugged. "The process of making shoes is about two or three times more complicated than making clothes, although if you want to create a complete piece, the time required for clothes will be much longer than for shoes."

"The real problem is that to make good shoes that are both good-looking and practical, you need to use specialized machines in the factory to carry out vulcanization processes and high-frequency pressing."

"There are also intricate carvings and openwork designs that require tools, and even injection molding..."

"Although I have connections with factories, it's not really appropriate to bother them just to make a pair of cosplay shoes, is it?"

"So many unfamiliar terms, it sounds amazing! (Unintelligible characters)..."

Kitagawa Marin embarrassment subsided, she crossed her arms and sighed with emotion.

"I understand. Then I'll go pick out a similar pair! Anyway, no one's paying attention to the shoes!"

"Okay, after I buy it, I'll help you make some minor alterations, and that will be fine."

"Thank you! But... I still hope you can measure my foot size."

"Huh? Why?"

Sakurakoji Talent is questionable.

Kitagawa Marin placed her Hands on the table, lifted her delicate feet, and said with a puzzled expression, "Even with the same size, my feet sometimes still hurt a bit when I wear them. Isn't that strange?"

"Hmm... it's probably because the width of the upper (the part above the sole of the shoe) is different. Even if the length is the same, it's quite tiring to wear them if the width is different, and many girls are unwilling to specifically wear a size larger."

"Hey~ I see~ Oh, I see~ I see~!"

"Well, come here, sit on this chair and I'll take your measurements."

He pointed to the work chair behind the desk.

Hi~!

She skipped and hopped to the back, then plopped down on a chair. "Wow! It's so cool!"

The cool touch of the chair made her exposed skin flinch.

Sakurakoji Talent picked up the measuring tape again, knelt down in front of her, and held her exquisite, jade-like, beautifully arched feet, with pink nail polish that complemented her fair skin.
