Summary[]
Yūji and Shana were eating melonpan together when Yūji asked why Shana wore her uniform even to the conference they had that day. Though Misaki Municipal High School did not exist in the New World Xanadu, Shana was having Wilhelmina make multiple sets of them, including the summer uniform. It was clearly not just her liking them, as she always wore them for important negotiations. They had decided previously to keep wearing their uniforms until the day they would have graduated, which would have been several years ago now. Yūji had been wearing his uniform also, but had long since swapped to normal clothes and would never go back. Shana answered that she had decided the uniform would be her "lucky clothes", slang Rebecca had taught her. She explained that the uniforms were the only "clothes that would make her focused when entering important battles", which greatly convinced Yūji, as he had experienced firsthand being challenged by her many times. However, Yūji raised his concerns that Flame Haze and Denizens attending the conferences were beginning to copy her uniforms. Though there were differences in details and styles between men and women, the fact that the Misaki Municipal High School girl's uniform was becoming formal clothing, with people wearing them while sitting in rows sternly at serious and important conferences, was troubling Yūji. The God of Retribution's contractor, whose majesty had completely changed the conferences, simply said it was proof everyone was being serious and went back to her melonpan.
