The conversation among Shirase Haruto and the two teachers quickly turned casual afterward.
Shirase originally planned to take his leave, but Kojima Kana wasn't entirely confident in the cockroach poison's effectiveness. She insisted he stay longer, in case another cockroach appeared suddenly and scared both beautiful teachers into panicked flight.
Shirase sat absent-mindedly watching television, while Kojima Kana chatted idly with Kirisu Mafuyu.
The conversation gradually drifted onto the topic of clothing—every woman's favorite subject.
"Oh, right, I have to buy new underwear again," Kojima Kana sighed helplessly, lightly massaging her shoulder. "It's always inconvenient for me. Most stores don't even carry my size."
Kirisu Mafuyu's hand froze slightly as she lifted her teacup. Is this really an appropriate topic right now?
Shirase coughed lightly, "Kana-nee, please mind your words."
Kana blinked, then laughed awkwardly as realization hit. She'd completely forgotten they were in someone else's home. Back home, she'd never bothered watching her words around Shirase—she'd even walk around in a loose shirt without underwear.
She felt utterly unguarded around Shirase, and with Kirisu Mafuyu also being her friend, the topic just came out naturally.
"How about you plug your ears?" Kojima Kana offered a completely unreliable suggestion.
Shirase side-eyed her. "Then I might as well leave?"
"Absolutely not!"
Kana quickly grabbed his arm, anxiety flashing across her face. "Just stay with us a little longer. Just a little bit!"
Shirase shook off her hand. "You're treating me like a renewable tool-man, aren't you?"
"Don't say it like that. How about I make you a special omurice filled with love as compensation when we get back home?"
"I'm pretty sure I've said I don't like omurice."
"Then you name something! No matter what it is, I'll do it for you!"
"Please don't say things that could be easily misunderstood."
"What's the big deal? It's not like you'd harm me."
Kirisu Mafuyu listened to their casual bickering with a blank face, yet deep down she couldn't help but envy the closeness of their relationship.
The faint envy she felt the last time surfaced once more.
She had to admit, she truly admired how naturally Shirase and Kojima Kana interacted.
After convincing Shirase, Kana turned to Kirisu Mafuyu again. "Can you come with me to the lingerie shop tonight? Going alone always feels so awkward."
"Alright." Kirisu Mafuyu agreed, but hesitation flickered in her eyes.
Truthfully, she needed new underwear as well. Considering how shocked she'd been at Kana's cup size the previous time, and with Kana mentioning difficulty with sizing just now, Mafuyu naturally assumed Kana had more experience in this area.
But Shirase was still here, and she felt too embarrassed to openly ask for advice.
This time, Kana was alert enough to notice her expression. "Did you have something else to say?"
Kirisu Mafuyu quickly glanced at Shirase, who was still absorbed in watching TV, and stood up. "There is something I'd like your advice on. Why don't we discuss this in my bedroom?"
Kana blinked in surprise, before breaking into a giggle. "Don't tell me you're having trouble choosing underwear as well?"
Kirisu Mafuyu's face flushed. Why did you have to say that out loud?
At that exact moment, she sharply noticed Shirase casually glancing first at her, then at Kana, before calmly looking away again.
The movement was so natural, so effortless, like someone merely sipping tea or having dinner.
What exactly was he looking at?
He couldn't possibly be having strange thoughts, right?
Kirisu Mafuyu felt her face heating again and quickly pulled Kana toward her bedroom.
"Eh? Don't be in such a hurry! I haven't finished my cake yet…" Kana stumbled after her, chest bouncing along the way.
Left alone in the living room, Shirase checked the time. Twenty more minutes, then he could finally leave.
...
Inside the bedroom, Kirisu Mafuyu had Kana shut the door first, then asked softly, cheeks slightly flushed with embarrassment, "Actually… I need new underwear as well."
Kana, who had just released the door handle, spun around in surprise. "Then why didn't you say so earlier?"
Kirisu Mafuyu pressed her lips together, eyelashes trembling.
Kana realized what was going on and laughed gently. "Oh, you're worried about Shirase-kun? Relax, I know him very well. Even if you'd openly discussed it in front of him, he would've found a way to ease your embarrassment."
"Is that so…?" Kirisu Mafuyu didn't quite believe her. After all, earlier, when her pants slipped down, Shirase had pointed it out so bluntly, openly looking without even the slightest embarrassment.
Just recalling that made her flush deeply again.
Kana, oblivious to Mafuyu's thoughts, asked straightforwardly, "You specifically asked to talk privately about this. Could it be you're also having trouble with sizing?"
Kirisu Mafuyu nodded slightly. "Sometimes the sizes I pick out end up being too small. I never notice in the store, and only realize it when I get home, which is already too late."
"Then, could you take off your clothes so I can have a look?"
Kana's blunt request left Mafuyu dumbfounded.
Kana's tone, however, remained perfectly natural. "The tracksuit you're wearing right now is too thick. If I can't see clearly, I won't be able to offer any advice."
"But…" Mafuyu nervously pinched her fingers, visibly hesitant.
Kana quickly understood and laughed gently. "Are you embarrassed? What's there to be shy about? We're both women here... Well, how about I show you first, then you won't feel awkward."
As she spoke, she began unbuttoning her clothes.
Mafuyu initially intended to stop her, but Kana showed not even a trace of embarrassment.
As Kana's blouse and skirt fell to the floor, revealing her enchanting face framed by casually flowing hair, clad only in lingerie, the sensuality radiating from her multiplied exponentially compared to her usual state.
Kirisu Mafuyu instinctively examined her, feeling secretly astonished. Just as she had guessed before, Kana's figure truly was exceptional.
Despite a cup size larger than her own, Kana's waist was incredibly slender and soft without any excess fat. Her adorable little belly button sat on fair, delicate skin, her exaggerated curves flawlessly highlighting her waist. Long, perfectly shaped legs wrapped in black stockings added yet another layer of irresistible allure, with not a single ounce of unnecessary fat visible anywhere.
Her observation this time was even clearer than before, and thus, the shock she felt was even greater.
"You should be able to relax now, right?" Kana stood confidently, hands on hips, entirely unashamed.
Kirisu Mafuyu's cheeks reddened again, and she pretended calm as she nodded slightly. However, just before unzipping her tracksuit, she couldn't help but nervously whisper, "Shirase… he wouldn't be listening outside, would he?"
"How could he?" Kana couldn't help laughing at the idea.
Seeing Kana so calm and confident, Kirisu Mafuyu finally settled her heart and slowly pulled down the zipper.
