I was intrigued by what Rui had said, but my embarrassment kept me from focusing too much on where we were going. In no time, we were there. We stopped before an extremely posh-looking store. It wasn’t a larger brand, nor was it one I knew of, but I was no expert in such matters.

Instead, the shop looked to be privately owned, but unlike Rui and Ume’s it was busy and successful, not to mention the fact that the whole building was dedicated to this store. Rui led me inside, and I wondered if she’d noticed that my sentai costume was assless. People stared, and a few even smiled as they browsed through stylish clothing. There were mirrors everywhere. The floor was polished to the point where you could see your face faintly reflected by it.

“You’re a life-saver, Rui-chan!” I exclaimed.

“W-What did I do?” She looked at me over her shoulder with one eyebrow arched questioningly.

“Ahaha! That’s quite the fashion mishap!” A girl laughed as she entered behind us. Rui’s face blushed slightly.

“Natalia!!!” She enthused as she raced past me. I turned to see a fair tall woman with loose and fabulous bright blonde hair crouch to embrace Rui.

“RuiRui! It’s great to see you!” She squeezed Rui in a bearhug. When I jerked around to watch the heart-warming hug, others who hadn’t seen my butt did. I heard their laughter, some coughing and wheezing. For the first time, I covered myself. I didn’t want to draw further attention, but it was simply too late for that.

I wondered if Rickey had a sense of humor aside from that poetic soul Rui referred to.

With a name like Natalia, I decided she must be Russian. With that stature and grace, she certainly had to be. She was an outsider, yet she spoke Japanese flawlessly! Natalia beamed at Rui, who shone brightly, like a delighted child. It was a side of her that I hadn't seen before.

I found a flaw in my logic. This store contained nothing but women’s clothing. There was nothing here I’d want to wear just to cover my butt. I blushed even more, standing stiffly. The laughs didn’t stop. They slowly faded off, but I could still hear them giggling. Oh, no... this is hell...

“Come on to my office.” Natalia beckoned with her beautiful fingers. “It’s six floors upstairs. Please follow me. We’ll take care of that hole in your beautiful costume. It would be such a shame if it was thrown away. You clearly have taken much care of it! Well... except for a certain patch.” Natalia smiled so brightly like the sun. I was nearly blinded by her brilliance. This about her was what Rickey was referring to. If he’d personally met this woman, I could see why he wouldn’t be able to look at her for long. She was an ANGEL!

“Oh! My ANGEL!” This was loudly exclaimed by me. Before Reiko-chan, I’d not felt attraction to many women, but Natalia’s beauty tugged at my heart and loins. She winked as though she understood, so I moved one of my hands to cover a massive erection. I now had two embarrassing things to hide, fore and aft. I was even more red beneath my helmet, which felt like a sauna suddenly.
