Some time has passed since we started, and there are a few more shops to visit.
And now I’m in the tightest spot of the day.
“A-Are you sure I can… go in here?’
“Yes, I was hoping that Haruyuki-kun would be able to choose something like this too.”
The place we were standing…
… was in front of the women’s lingerie department.
There were colourful and uniquely shaped underwear on display, some of which were on the mannequins.
In my case, it’s not that I couldn’t see, but my eyes got drawn toward them.
“In the first place… are men allowed to enter?”
“I don’t think there’s anything that’s forbidden about that. If you stay with me, you won’t seem suspicious.”
Even if I’m not suspicious, I certainly seemed out of place, didn’t I?
Ignoring my thoughts, Tojo-san held my hand and went straight into the shop.
“Look, don’t you think these things are cute?”
Using her free hand, she picked up a pair of red underwear nearby.
I certainly think the lace and embroidery are pretty, but I was too shy to tell her my thoughts.
“Well, I can’t wear this size on me…”
With a disappointed expression on her face, Tojo-san took the red underwear in her hand back to where it originally was.
“I think there’s often a debate about whether bigger or smaller b*****s are better for women, but when it comes to choosing underwear, the bigger ones are definitely at a disadvantage. It’s also difficult to quickly buy something with a cute pattern at places like this, and it’s a bit pricey to order online…”
Tojo-san rubbed her own b*****s as she said this.
While doing so, she glanced over and checked my expression, which made me realize that I was getting teased again.
“Tojo-san… please stop enjoying looking at my expression… It’s not that I hate it, but it feels like I’m being tickled… like this. It’s itchy.”
“Fufu, I’m sorry. After all, I couldn’t help but find Haruyuki-kun’s upset expression endearing.”
Tojo-san narrowed her eyes and looked at me lovingly as she said.
When we started spending time together, I found out that Tojo-san almost certainly has a sadistic side to her.
She is not the type of person who enjoys hurting people, but at least my troubled face is something she enjoys.
And I somehow don’t dislike how she treats me like that either.
[EN: This guy is too far gone to save.]
Whenever Tojo-san teases me like that, I feel loved by her.
It’s a feeling that makes me wonder if something has gone wrong with my head, but it’s not just my imagination.
It seems to me that I’ve already fallen for—
“Haruyuki-kun… Haruyuki-kuun. Which one do you think would be cuter?”
I heard Tojo’s voice interrupting my thoughts.
She was holding two different types of underwear, a light blue and a black top and bottom set.
The fact that I can’t explain the details of the decorations is only due to my inexperience.
It would be strange for a high school boy like me to know about the make and types of underwear.
“I’m glad there are sizes that I can even wear. I think the light blue one is more appropriate for my age; it’s more neat and clean… The black one is still sexier, isn’t it? It’s more mature.”
“Y-You can wear whichever you like, can’t you?”
“Like with the clothes earlier, the two are really competing for me. So I wanted the final decision based on the preferences of Haruyuki-kun, who is the only person to whom I can show this.”
I was embarrassed again by the ‘only’ part, but I put that aside.
Thinking of what I liked, my gaze was naturally drawn to the black one.
If Tojo-san was wearing this kind of underwear― I started to have such fantasies, and my face started getting hot.
