Heh?

Hah?

She?

She—

...she...

And so...

Even so...

Inchlings really are small, aren't they.

Excuse me...but why did you bring me to your home?

Hm? Aah, well, you see...

Recently, I've been having my dolls make doll clothing...

...but I have a few too many extras, and since most of them are well made, I felt throwing them away would be a waste.

And then, I somehow stopped by the shrine, and there you were, like a messenger from the gods!

Go ahead, pick whatever you like and try it on!

W-...well, being told such a thing so abruptly, I...

Mmm...well, just... just for a little bit.

Sure, please feel free.

I'll have the dolls help you, if you like...

Changing clothes I can do by myself!

D-...does it...really?

It truly, truly does! The size even fits you surprisingly perfectly!

Well, don't you agree?

H-how long were you there?! How long!?

Uh, well...I spotted what looked like you bein' kidnapped, an' I figgered I could watch 'n' laugh at whatever cruel stuff was done t' you, so I just tagged along behind!

What do you mean? How disgraceful! .... Wait, aren't you two friends or some such?

Now, now, never mind that. What do you think?

Huh? About what?

Her new western-style clothing, see?

Isn't it cute?

What the hell's up with wearin' western clothing alla sudden after wearin' nothin but kimonos!?

'Cause they don't look good on you at all! A shrimp's a shrimp, no matter how you dress it up!

Now, hold on, you! That's going too—

It...it's all right!

Being insulted by an amanojaku means nothing at all!

.... An amanojaku?

Ah, that's right...I've been having my dolls make clothing for me as well, you see?

Some clothes they just made are a bit small for me...and they look rather flashy, so I thought they might be a failure...

What about th-

Wh-...what the hell...

...is up with these...these...

D-don't be stupid! I'm takin' off this embarrassing crap right n—

So...

...what do you think...

Go on, give this amanojaku...

...your honest and direct opinion.

And turned them into an article In the pages of her newspa-pair! Sorry.
