Summary[]
In a narrow waiting room, a crouching, kimino-clad Shana unsheathed the Nietono no Shana with great speed from Yogasa under her arm, and slashed upwards. She was disappointed she couldn't move freely in the kimono, as though her movements were refined, it had still become disheveled and her hair undone. Alastor thought they would be similar to yukata, but they were arranged more rigidly. Shana put away her sword. The kimono's tightness was even restricting normal movements and Alastor hoped it would not cause negotiations to fail. As it was the beginning of the year, Zemyna had prepared the clothes for Shana, but she may be unpresentable for the meeting. Though Gyūki had said no one would care about etiquette, the negotiations were with a small group of a few dozens who Yūji had assembled after great effort. Alastor proposed a solution he had learnt in the West which may help. A woman who was a "self-proclaimed lady, but only just", had said this when wearing dresses she was not used to: "When a good woman wears them, even if she is disheveled or exposed, the clothes transform into decorations!!". The two that made up the "Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter" were silent until Zemyna entered and got mad seeing the guest of honor in such a state.
