After walking Airi back to her room, Uesugi Hara headed to Ayanokoji's room.
Back in her room, Airi thought about what had just happened and turned into the Steam Princess.
"So the person who asked to see my legs was Uesugi?"
"Ugh, how embarrassing..."
Once she had "cooled down," Airi began to think.
Why had Uesugi asked to see her legs and feet? Did he look at other girls' legs too?
Airi looked at her legs.
Today, she was wearing black stockings.
The stockings divided her thighs into two distinct parts.
Above them was smooth, fair skin; below, the fine texture of the black stockings.
Well, her outfit was pretty much the same as usual.
She ran her hands over them, then gave them a squeeze.
They were soft, just as they usually felt.
She kicked off her slippers and pulled off her stockings.
Airi looked at her little feet.
Her toes were plump and shapely, her toenails neatly trimmed, and the skin on the tops of her feet was fair and delicate. Faint blue veins showed beneath the skin, making them quite alluring.
But there was no one else around to see them.
Airi made her little feet stretch a few times.
They didn't feel any different from usual, did they?
Then she tried on several different kinds of socks.
Black, white... long, short, tights, garter stockings, fishnets... She even tried on little white socks.
Weren't they all the same?
Was it because Uesugi was a boy?
But she'd seen girls post about it on the Blog, too.
Airi was quite puzzled.
Let's shift our perspective to the Little Princess.
Sakayanagi Arisu was getting ready to go to sleep.
Going to bed early and getting up early helped with physical development. She had specifically looked that up last time.
