“Ugh….”
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
“Excuse me? It’s nothing.”
It was nothing, but I said it anyway.
I mean, I couldn’t really say anything!
This was different from last time when I had my period.
Of course, it was a bit uncomfortable each time, but with Marie’s healing, it was bearable.
However, this time, even with blessings, it was an unresolvable issue.
“You don’t need to worry too much.”
“Is that so? If that’s the case, then I’m relieved.”
“More importantly, Commander, have you finished all your morning tasks? It’s almost lunchtime.”
I changed the subject as I said that.
Honestly, I didn’t have the confidence to speak boldly about my current situation, and I was also embarrassed.
“Almost done. So, don’t get too worked up.”
“Well, if you finish your work, I can go to lunch with you. And Midori has already finished her morning tasks.”
“Yes, yes! That’s true! This Midori has already completed her work!”
“Haha… I’ll finish up quickly.”
Anyway, thankfully, I successfully changed the subject.
By the way, what on earth should I do about this strange feeling in my chest?
I quickly went to the bathroom for a moment and adjusted my underwear, but that didn’t help.
It just felt too different.
There was definitely something tightening my chest more than usual, which made it feel oddly full.
“Tsk…”
“I’ll finish up quickly… so don’t be too angry…”
“I wasn’t angry at you.”
“Got it… let’s finish up quickly and go eat.”
If I had only paid a little more attention,
this wouldn’t have happened.
Or if I had just worn slightly smaller underwear from the start,
I seriously thought I needed to go back to my personal quarters and buy some new underwear right after this.
If not, I could just go out and buy some.
“By the way, you.”
“Yes?”
“You seem… different today.”
“…Huh?”
The Commander suddenly typed while talking to me.
What on earth does he mean by different?
I hadn’t even put on makeup as usual and had just tied my hair up normally.
There was nothing at all that looked different.
“What on earth are you talking about suddenly?”
“I don’t know if I should say this, but your chest seems more prominent than usual…”
“Are you out of your mind?!”
“…But that’s how it feels.”
“…”
I could have perceived it as sexual harassment, but I was just a bit surprised.
I clearly wore my usual suit.
Of course, it wasn’t the formal uniform of the ship, but still, it was the same suit I usually wore.
How did he notice this?
“Commander, are you a pervert?”
Even though my chest did look fuller than usual.
I mean, it definitely felt tighter than my usual sports bra.
The sports bra wrapped around rather than constricting.
“…I’m sorry.”
“You don’t need to apologize, but… if you said that to another woman, it could be dangerous in many ways.”
I didn’t particularly feel embarrassed about this.
I actually did have big boobs, and it was true they looked bigger today.
There was no reason to be embarrassed since I was aware of the fact, unlike the last time I accidentally showed sweat on my chest.
I wasn’t showing my bare chest or anything; I was still wearing my suit normally on top.
“Commander… trash…”
“….”
Midori shot a cold glare, but the Commander couldn’t argue back.
I weakly chuckled at their exchange.
*
“By the way, Lindera, what did the Commander mean when he said that?”
“Excuse me?”
“I mean, isn’t it kind of odd to say your chest looks bigger? I thought the Commander was a total trash guy obsessed with bad girls’ chests for a second.”
“Haha…”
The Commander smiled bitterly next to me.
Truth be told, if it were anyone else, they’d probably think he was crazy… If it was a normal woman, they would definitely see him as a lunatic.
Even I was a bit shocked at first.
Midori, being an ordinary woman, would have thought he was a real creep.
Well, he probably wasn’t normal for saying that.
“But seriously, it looked bigger than before, right? It feels like it’s almost two sizes larger….”
“Is it that much?”
Two sizes larger?
While I didn’t really pay attention to the exact size, that was surprising.
If it felt that much bigger to others, then…
I already thought it was big, but if it looked even bigger to others,
“I really didn’t think it would be so different… I didn’t expect such a size discrepancy.”
It was true.
Both the sports bra and the sexy lingerie were the same size, without a doubt.
But to think they would look so different to others…
I was rather impressed that the Commander was quick to notice the change in my underwear.
“Um… I just changed my underwear.”
Cough!
“…Commander, are you a creep?”
“…….”
“Please don’t go too far. After all, it’s just underwear. You didn’t see it yourself; you just made an observation based on appearance.”
I slightly defended the Commander.
He hadn’t exactly harassed me; he was just stating the obvious.
I mean, my chest really did look bigger than usual.
“Lindera, you’re way too soft on the Commander! If it were other agents, they’d have reported him!”
“It can’t be that bad.”
We were chatting while waiting for our meals.
It was just a little mishap because I wasn’t wearing the same underwear as always.
There wasn’t really any reason to chastise the Commander too harshly.
If it were me, I would have been a little curious too, honestly.
“But it is admirable for the Commander to speak so openly about that.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Hehe, I’m joking.”
Was I teasing the handsome guy?
Honestly, it was a bit fun.
It was also amusing to see him struggling more than usual with his reactions.
Thanks to Midori attacking the Commander, his expressions were even funnier.
After all, he couldn’t even retort while being completely belittled by his subordinate.
“Sigh… just enjoy lunch. I’m done teasing.”
“Yes, I’ll enjoy it. A lunch treat from the Commander.”
Originally, the staff cafeteria was free, but what we were having was Soan’s special lunch.
Of course, things like this were not free; they were a treat of sorts.
Well, thanks to the Commander, it became an ordinary meal instead of a special one?
“But what exactly is your size for this to happen?”
“Oh, I’ll tell you later. Just lend me your ear.”
I leaned closer to the curious Midori and whispered.
I didn’t know the exact number but knew the first digit easily enough.
“What!?!”
*
“What did you eat when you were younger to reach that size? Come on, tell me! I want to grow my chest too!”
“I don’t really know.”
Midori kept asking me during the afternoon work hours.
Pulling along a rolling chair, she came over and kept chattering about my chest.
She was probably still shocked about the chest size I revealed just before lunch.
Even I was a little surprised myself, but I was used to seeing my chest when I showered, so now I understood.
“Midori, get back to work.”
“But I’m curious! It’s the Commander who doesn’t know Lindera’s chest! He must be a total creep, wow….”
“Haha.”
I chuckled while looking at the Commander.
It felt a little awkward to comment here.
Midori was having a blast talking about it, and I didn’t want to disapprove of her actions while also being aware of the Commander’s gaze.
“Can I tell the Commander later too?”
“…Please don’t say strange things.”
Well, if she didn’t want to, then fine.
I was just trying to explain to Midori for her to understand my reaction.
But since she said she didn’t like it, I wouldn’t force that on her.
I had no plans to strut around proudly about my chest anyway.
“Did you drink a lot of milk? They say drinking a lot of milk helps with that, you know…. Hmm…”
“Milk? Well… you probably like it more than I do. Remember when I brought chocolate milk to your room? You liked it.”
I wasn’t sure if Lindera liked milk either.
After all, she wasn’t a major character in the game; there was just a brief description.
“You’ve been to his room!?!?!”
“Yes? Of course.”
“What do you mean… are you two… dating?”
“…Huh?”
What was she suddenly talking about?
I knew exactly who she was referring to when she mentioned “you two.”
Since I only said I had been to the Commander’s room, there was no way anyone else was involved.
But suddenly the idea of me dating the Commander came up.
“Did you eat something weird at lunch?”
“No, huh? Oh?”
“What’s wrong?”
“…Commander? Do you want to see me later…?”
“…If there’s time, we can talk then.”
What was this?
Suddenly, the Commander and Midori were having a conversation.
I couldn’t understand why they started talking about meeting up out of the blue.
It was genuinely out of the blue!
Midori suddenly asking me if I was dating the Commander was odd too; did she have feelings for him?
“Hmm.”
Well, if you have a crush on someone and they have a partner, you’d feel weird about it.
So maybe that was why Midori suddenly brought that up.
But… why me?
“Hmm.”
I really don’t get it.
