No, she can't for it's her turn on the spotlight now.

Having now confirmed her worst fears that the swimsuit won't likely stay intact for the duration of the swimsuit contest, Naoto wanted to just simply walk away from the event and change back into her normal clothes, for she feared the probability of her ending up exposing something to the audience more than she feared Miss Kashiwagi's punishment for abaddoning the contest.

Unfortunately for her however, not matter how hard she tried, she couldn't abaddon the contest or leave the podium, not just because the fragility of the swimsuit preventing her from running away, which caused a crack to pop up in her sides as she tried to run, but also because Miss Kashiwagi wouldn't let her go.

"What do you think are doing ?!", she asked sternly as she saw Naoto trying to walk away from the podium.

"It's just that i don't want to be in the contest anymore, that's all", Naoto explained.

"Sorry, but i'm afraid i can't let you do that", Kashiwagi smugly replied.

"And why ? may i ask", Naoto replied.

"Because it's your turn on the spotlight you silly", Kashiwagi responded smirking, because effectively, it was now Naoto's turn to showcase her swimsuit for the whole audience to see, as it was announced by Funky boy, "Let's now see miss Shirogane's swimsuit, shall we ?", he shouted to the audience.

And so, reluctanly and with no options left, Naoto decided to go to the center of the stage as requested, hoping for her swimsuit to stay intact and in one piece for the duration of her turn, which was far from a likely thing to happen, as her swimsuit recieved another crack in her sides as she walked in front of the audience.
