Only time will tell if anything comes of this, but this coming about is telling as characters generally don't wear things not in game (though the first exception was Nimi in that undersized swimsuit in chap 33)
We'll see with the anime adaptation as there might be the possibility of Laffey being a bit grope happy from the PV (I hope it's not going to be a thing, hamfisted yuri was an issue with the other anime; that and it's not something Laffey does in the comics or game)
A gacha tip: Try not mix up how many you build at once, or perhaps spreading out the rolls as I've found since I moved from 10 after 10, I got more varied results. Not a magic bullet as sometimes some shipgirls don't come home easily (Kasumi, L'Opinare) even with this.
But as for the chapter...
