“Lindera, do you want to go buy some underwear?”
“Huh?”
“Didn’t you buy some yesterday?”
“Uh… I did order some, though?”
Suddenly, Midori was saying something weird early in the morning.
Why on earth is she suggesting to go buy underwear?
“Since we’re going anyway, it’ll take a few days, right? Let’s just go together.”
“I appreciate the offer, but… Is it really necessary?”
I was genuinely thankful for her words. I mean, it was nice of a colleague to look out for me.
But the problem was, I had already made a purchase.
I had just randomly bought something that fit my size from an online shopping mall.
“I told you, you can’t just order online! Underwear is super important! The size shown isn’t everything!”
“Hmm…”
“Of course, the store might not have your size… But I’ve already found a place inside Babil that sells bras for bigger busts!”
“Hmm…”
“Can we please not talk about underwear in front of the Commander? I’m still a man, you know.”
“Oh, I completely forgot about that.”
I momentarily forgot about the Commander being there.
I hadn’t said a single word since we started working.
I seriously had forgotten, and he was listening to everything.
Well, from the Commander’s perspective, it was difficult because a bunch of female employees were talking about underwear.
It was definitely awkward in many ways.
“Ha…”
“Anyway! Let’s go! You said your underwear was uncomfortable yesterday, right?”
“Hmm… Alright, let’s go. Commander?”
“…What now?”
The Commander replied with a slightly strained expression.
Couldn’t he just respond nicely?
It’s not like I say weird things all the time.
“Can you give us a ride?”
“…?”
“I don’t have a license…. I can’t help it. Do you have one, Midori?”
“…Hehe.”
I had no choice.
*
“Still, I feel like this isn’t right.”
“Don’t worry! The Commander is coming along, who could say anything?”
“Ha…”
I had no choice.
Even with a self-driving car, you need a license to ride in it.
Since neither Midori nor I had licenses, the Commander’s presence was essential to avoid breaking the law.
“Can’t we just call other agents to help?”
“I don’t know them well enough to ask.”
“Ha…”
“Don’t sigh too much. You’ll get wrinkles.”
I’m sure he felt uncomfortable, but it couldn’t be helped.
I didn’t have a license!
Since I had never experienced a self-driving car, it was even more daunting.
If I had to drive a regular car, maybe I’d get better with practice.
But I’d never driven before, so an accident was bound to happen.
“Midori, where did you say you were?”
“Um… just a bit deeper in. Stop in front of the burger place.”
“Got it, Commander.”
“…We’re almost there.”
The Commander was driving the self-driving car smoothly.
By the way, it was my first time buying women’s underwear.
I had no reason to buy any before, and since turning into Lindera, I had just been using what I already had.
This was truly the very first time I was going into a store to buy women’s underwear.
-Screech…
“Let’s get out! Commander… wait here. Come on, following a girl to buy underwear is just… no!”
“I know. It’s just not that big of a deal.”
“Okay~”
Midori and I got out in front of the underwear shop.
Right before I got out, I quickly thanked the Commander, who said it wasn’t necessary, but still, I was grateful.
If it weren’t for the Commander, I would have had to walk from the ship all the way inside Babil with Midori.
Given the size of the ship, we had to constantly lift off into the air.
Of course, the ship would have to be positioned at the far end of Babil.
“Alright, the size is… just like I mentioned yesterday… No, let’s start with the design!”
“Design, you say?”
“Yeah! It’s a place that only sells bras for bigger busts!”
A store that only sells bras for bigger busts.
It sounded kind of tacky, but at least it’s better than having no size at all.
There was no need to find the size first; we could just check the designs and then ask about the sizes.
“What do you like?”
“Hmm… Something not too revealing would be good.”
The sexy lingerie I was currently wearing.
It was really not it.
I couldn’t help but think this was just not right.
It wasn’t about pushing my cleavage—it was just wrong.
I was genuinely shocked at the sight of myself looking in the mirror while putting it on this morning.
“Revealing? Hmm… With a chest this big, anything would look revealing.”
“…”
“I’m serious!”
“Then let’s go for something as plain as possible.”
I couldn’t help but agree with Midori’s suggestion.
I mean, I was still a guy.
“Okay! Let’s start searching!”
Midori began rummaging through the displayed underwear.
I just followed behind her, casually looking at the types of underwear.
Honestly, I felt weird watching myself buy women’s underwear, but I was getting a bit more accustomed to it.
“Oh…”
While browsing, I stumbled upon something incredibly revealing.
It was the kind of underwear where all the important parts were practically on display… it really made me question if it could even be considered underwear.
It looked ridiculously revealing with a big cut-out in the middle.
If I wore this and put a shirt over it, it would definitely show through.
“Oh man.”
This is scandalous.
“What about this? Isn’t it nice?”
“Hmm… I think I’ll try it on. I did come here to try things on.”
“That’s true. Want to try it on? I think this size should fit.”
I took the clothes Midori handed me and headed to the changing room.
The space wasn’t very big, just enough for a full-length mirror.
Well, all I really needed was a place to change.
Swish…
I took off my suit and hung it up.
I hung my coat, shirt, pants, and just stripped off my underwear without any hesitation.
I didn’t even have to look at the black sexy lingerie anymore.
“Hehe…”
I couldn’t help but laugh already.
It was just changing my underwear, but it felt like a farewell to the scandalous piece I had been wearing for several days.
“Gray… Well, the color is pretty standard.”
The color was neutral, and the design wasn’t unusual.
There were no special patterns, and it wasn’t much different from the sports bras I usually wore.
Thinking that, I put on the underwear.
Putting on underwear wasn’t that hard anyway.
*
“Oh…. That’s super sexy.”
“…What are you talking about?”
“If I go to the Commander like this, he might pounce on me?”
“Ugh…”
That’s a bit much.
Even I thought I looked kind of suggestive, but still, that wasn’t right.
Being jumped by a guy? Come on!
After living 20 years as a man, getting pounced on by another guy?
“I’d rather bite my tongue and die.”
“…I see!”
“Yes.”
Well, anyway, the underwear itself wasn’t bad.
The design wasn’t odd, and it wasn’t that much different from my usual sports bras.
“Let’s buy more! Getting just this one seems a bit lacking, right?”
“That sounds good. But I think wearing this and walking around is a bit much, don’t you think?”
Even though it was a store with only women, walking around in just underwear wasn’t something I could do.
First, I needed to get dressed and put on some pants and a shirt before living it up.
I mean, no one walks around in just underwear… that’d be downright crazy!

“Yahoo! I bought everything!”
“…Get in quickly.”
“Commander, let’s eat burgers at the place right in front of us!”
“…What kind of nonsense is that?”
“We need to have dinner. We’re going back to eat anyway, so let’s have something different for a change, okay? Lindera even said she wanted to!”
“What do you think? We can’t eat burgers on the ship. This is our chance.”
After buying all the underwear, we entered the car the Commander was driving.
But we were planning to head right out.
While shopping for underwear, I was chatting with Midori, and somehow the discussion turned to grabbing a burger.
Of course, it was Midori suggesting it, but I had no aversion to burgers either.
I hadn’t had one in a while, and since I had only been eating the high-class steak Soan prepared for me, I felt like indulging myself.
Though if the Commander offered something other than high-class steak, I’d immediately dig in.
“…Okay, let’s eat and then head back.”
“Yahoo!”
“Then let’s get out, Commander. Oh, and can I put the underwear in the trunk? Midori has to sit in the back, right?”
“…Do whatever you want.”
Thank goodness.
Had the Commander not allowed it, I would have had to carry around the bag of underwear.
It wouldn’t have been too inconvenient, but if I could put it away, that would be better than holding it.
And since I was getting out anyway, it would be even better to put the bag in the trunk.
“But what kind of underwear did you buy that took over an hour?”
“Are you curious? It’s not anything weird, um….”
I reached into the paper bag.
I didn’t want to pull everything out, so I just grabbed one that came to hand.
“I got these. Gray and black… Oh, and I also caved and bought one of those bras Midori insisted I get.”
“….”
“….”
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
You were the one who asked.
I just couldn’t understand why they were staring at me.
