The door to the roof slammed open, causing Yukari to turn back towards it. Fortunately, she was on the back area of the roof, and could see who it was before they saw her. "Yukari-san!" Aigis called out. "Are you up here?"
"Aigis!" Yukari replied. "Over here! Oh man, I was starting to get scared that something happened."
"Actually, something did happen," said Aigis, her monotone sounding somewhat sad as she drew closer to Yukari.
"What?" Yukari asked, looking at Aigis questioningly until she realized what the robot was carrying. Where there should have been a clean, white blouse and a pink, fluffy cardigan instead were a couple of sopping, wet rags so full of holes that only their outlines really remained, and would not cover anything meaningful.
"AH!" she shrieked. "What did you do?"
"I am sorry, Yukari-san," said Aigis. "I originally intended to use a clothing washing device, but it appear that there are none on the premises of Gekkoukan. I had only thirty minutes remaining at that time, so I attempted to use the bathroom facilities to complete your request. However, after 15 minutes of washing under normal parameters, the stains showed no signs of receding. As you had told me that time was a critical factor, I attempted to increase the power, but your clothes were, unfortunately, unable to withstand the stress."
"Unable to withstand...? YOU WRECKED MY CLOTHES!" Yukari exploded in anger, knocking the useless pile to the ground.
"Again, I am sorry for my failure-"
"Shut it!" she wailed. "I can't believe this! Stuck with no shirt and class is in 10 minutes!"
"Eight minutes and thirty-two seconds to be precise. Do you not have any other clothing you can use?
"Well, there are my gym clothes, but they're at the gym which is all the way across the building, I can't get them and get back in time for class without being seen!"
"Then perhaps it is possible to go the class as you are?"
"Are you mad!?" Yukari yelled, face turning red. "I can't sit through a two-hour lecture in my bra. If I do not want to be seen like this in the halls, why would I want to be like this in class?"
"But your remaining clothing still adequately covers your breasts. All that needs to be covered is covered."
"It's still underwear. It's not supposed to be seen, and everyone would be looking at me because of it."
"But if it is not meant to be seen, in cases of emergency or otherwise, then what purpose does it serve? I myself only wear this uniform to conceal the fact that I am a robot."
Yukari was about to retort, but stopped at Aigis' last statement. "Of course, you can lend me your uniform!" she said, rushing closer to Aigis.
"I am afraid I must refuse, Yukari-san," she flatly stated.
"Why not? You're essentially naked whenever we go to Tartarus, you know."
"I have no problems being without clothes, but, as you know, I am under strict orders from Mitsuru-san to conceal my robotic appearance outside of the dormitory or the Dark Hour and appear to be a normal student at this high school. If our situations were reversed, as you suggest, a brassiere would not be sufficient in concealing my machinary, which would be in a direct violation of my orders."
"Well, me causing a disturbance by going to class half-naked also causes problems for Mitsuru-senpai." Yukari retorted back. "Can't you just give me your uniform and use your gym clothes to cover up?"
"Unfortunately, I have no gym clothes to use. In a class of physical exercise, the fact that I am a robot would be too obvious, so Mitsuru-san arranged it that I would not have to take these classes."
*BING-BONG*
"That is the second-to-last bell, Yukari-san," said Aigis. "I am afraid I cannot help you any more, or else I shall be tardy for class, which is unacceptable. I apologize once again, and wish you good luck."
Yukari couldn't believe her ears. Because Aigis was following her orders to the letter, not only does she no longer have a shirt, but now she's abandoning her when she needs her the most. With rage building up and only five minutes left before class begins, Yukari decided to-
