Somehow, I ended up watching the entire ending.
As the commander said, the story itself was pretty solid and honestly, it was fun.
Honestly, I think I enjoyed the game more just by watching the cutscenes right before and after rather than actually playing.
Anyway, I wouldn’t say the game itself was bad, and everyone actually enjoyed playing it.
We continuously died and came back to life, but still, it was honestly fun.
“Was it fun?”
“I think you and the other two enjoyed it more than I did.”
“The two of them seemed to be having fun too. Should we gather like this next time?”
“That sounds good. But… I think we should pick an easier game next time.”
“That… makes sense.”
I was having this conversation with the commander in the room where Dolores and Midori had disappeared.
With my head comfortably resting on the commander’s thigh, just like I did while watching the game.
“And let’s play a two-player game next time. It didn’t feel much like a date.”
“I admit that.”
“…Sorry.”
Well, I wasn’t really sorry, but I couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful about it.
Honestly, I was a little disappointed.
It’s not like I disliked the two of them, but when it’s a date, it’s honestly hard to avoid.
Of course, I didn’t say anything about that to the commander when we were playing.
“Commander.”
“Yeah?”
“…About the master playing we had last time.”
“…Hmm?”
It was a bit sudden to bring it up, but his expression looked more surprised than I expected.
Was it that shocking?
Of course, I didn’t often mention the play with the commander back then.
It was just… something he had said a few times that he found arousing.
In reality, discussing such things in the office felt awkward, and we weren’t the type to casually talk about risqué topics.
Though it seemed like we did it more than others.
“Weren’t you really into it back then?”
“Were I?”
“Don’t be shy about it now.”
“…Well, I guess I was…?”
The commander’s face turned slightly red, but he had genuinely liked it back then.
He usually didn’t smack my butt, but that time, it had been long since someone had smacked it, so…
Plus, just the way he looked… in many ways, it was evident how much he enjoyed that day.
He was even admitting it now.
“So, what I’m trying to say is…”
I felt like the commander genuinely liked it.
Not for any other reason, but I was just thinking about it.
I’m not that much of a pervert to initiate something like this.
“…How about buying a costume or something?”
“…Really?”
“…Whoa, that expression.”
“I’m not thinking anything weird! I’m just surprised…!”
“To say that, your expression just now was really pervy.”
The commander truly made such a perverted expression that I couldn’t help but react that way.
It was almost breathtakingly pervy.
Was it really something he liked that much?
I was just thinking of it casually.
“What about a maid outfit… or maybe a nurse outfit…? Hey, here there are some character costumes…”
I was casually browsing a site on my phone while resting on the commander’s thigh.
It was clearly an adult costume site, but they weren’t overtly revealing outfits where everything was exposed.
Just… slightly more erotic than regular clothes?
Just something like that.
“…This one.”
“…A formal suit?”
“Yup.”
“…What’s the difference from what you usually wear? Besides the skirt being a bit shorter, it seems like it’s pretty much the same.”
What the commander found was truly nothing special.
A dress shirt and an H-line skirt… paired with black stockings, it was just a regular office lady outfit.
I genuinely didn’t understand why one would want to wear this.
It didn’t seem all that different from what I usually wore, maybe just a color difference…?
Except for the blazer and the skirt length…
“…?”
“…This one has a little more substance to it…? Heh…”
“Stop saying weird things.”
I pinched the commander’s thigh as I spoke.
If I was going to get something new, there was no need to pick something similarly styled to what I usually wear.
I thought it would be better to pick something I wouldn’t usually wear.
“How about something like this?”
“?”
A traditional outfit from some eastern place… it even has a slit on the side…
“That exposure is nice.”
“Yeah.”
Well, that was pretty normal.
After all, if it was for that purpose…
In any case, I was chatting with the commander about what kind of costume to order.
The commander suggested various costumes that seemed to align with his tastes overall.
For instance, shrine maiden, maid, office lady, rope… kind of stuff.
The rope one felt a little too much on the preference side, so I cut that out.
I’m okay with getting my butt smacked, but being tied up… not so much.
“Commander.”
“Yeah?”
“And while we’re at it, how about a swimsuit…?”
“…Huh?”
It wasn’t anything else.
I just happened to see a swimsuit while looking for costumes or clothes and thought that it would be nice if we could visit an indoor swimming pool together sometime… so I just brought it up.
“…We could also have a pool date.”
“……..”
What’s this?
The commander suddenly went silent.
Is there some kind of problem?
“Commander?”
“…No way.”
“…?”
The commander slowly approached.
It was then I realized why the commander suddenly went quiet.
…Was the swimsuit that arousing?
*
“…Pervert.”
“…Sorry.”
“I just wanted to take a quick break.”
“Sorry.”
The next day, I woke up exhausted thanks to someone and immediately drank some water.
I hadn’t even been able to drink water before I collapsed into sleep the night before.
“Ah…”
Now I feel a bit alive.
I was so thirsty that it was impossible not to drink water as soon as I opened my eyes.
Originally, I would’ve lounged in bed chatting with the commander a bit more before drinking, but… I hadn’t been able to do that yesterday.
“So… what are you going to do?”
“What? Archer?”
“No. Remember what I said yesterday? About the swimming pool. I’m asking how you plan to handle that.”
“Ah…….”
Did I really forget?
The commander only realized it after I mentioned it.
Personally, I wanted to go to an indoor pool.
There couldn’t be any outdoor beaches where we are, so that was out of the question, but indoor pools are possible.
Moreover, living in a hot region year-round, regardless of the season, makes the thought of going to a pool sound appealing.
So hot.
It really is…
It’s okay at night, but during the day, it gets so hot that it can be bothersome to walk around at times.
So if it weren’t for a date, I might just have stayed cooped up in my room without going out.
Even wearing thin clothes doesn’t change the heat.
“Um… wouldn’t it be fine? We just need to look for a location.”
“I understand we’ll go then.”
So it has roughly been decided that we’ll go at some point.
I don’t know when or where, but.
The perverse commander will see me in a swimsuit, and I’ll be able to escape the heat via swimming, so…
Isn’t this perfect?
“Ugh…”
“Are you very tired?”
“Isn’t that always the case? When you’re smashing from behind like that, my back can’t possibly feel fine.”
“Ha ha…”
He must know it was true.
After all, it wasn’t the first time we were together. Having sex every time and then the next morning, my back being pounded is just my daily routine now.
I’ve become so used to it.
I returned to the bed and lie down.
I had comfortably laid my head on the commander’s thigh yesterday, only to get thrown under the bed.
Since I was lying down, I couldn’t even react…
“…Yesterday was kind of too much.”
“…Huh?”
“No matter how much I wanted, doing everything while lying down… how am I supposed to take that?”
From the foreplay to the insertion, everything happened while I was still lying down.
It had truly gone on without me properly even sitting up.
“Isn’t your back more sore than usual?”
“…But you liked it, right?”
“That and back pain are separate facts, aren’t they? You do exercise frequently now and since you’ve been thrusting your back, you wouldn’t know, but…”
Getting pounded from below really is painful.
Even just being in a vertical alignment with the position is enough for my back to hurt the next day.
Every pound sends shockwaves to my spine.
But I doubt the commander’s back hurts much when I’m on top and moving.
“…That’s cheating.”
“…It’s not like I can’t help it.”
“It’s unfair that I’m the only one with a sore back.”
In any case, we were having that conversation in bed.
Once again, I placed my head comfortably on the commander’s thigh.
It felt surprisingly comfortable to do this, and I enjoyed being able to face the commander.
“…Ah.”
While lying there, an idea popped into my head.
It wasn’t exactly an urgent matter, but…
Since I had been discussing these kinds of things with the commander just a moment ago, I decided to just say it.
“Commander, how about we go to the department store today or during the week?”
“Suddenly? Is there something you want to buy?”
“I don’t have a swimsuit. I haven’t been able to go.”
“Oh.”
“Do you have one, commander?”
“…Now that I think about it, I don’t have one either.”
“……….”
I really must have said the right thing.
If I didn’t bring it up, both of us might have forgotten and ended up scrambling to buy swimsuits.
“Well… it’s not like we’re going right away, so let’s take our time deciding. We can figure out the designs and go when we’re ready… after all, we’re not in a rush.”
“That’s true.”
We had just come to an agreement to go to the pool, yet neither of us having swimsuits felt a bit… quite dumb.
It seems we’ve indeed become similar in trivial, unimportant ways.
