Chapter 42 Lingerie Shopping with Yume-chan

Lingerie Shopping with Yume-chan

A train ride of several minutes brought us to a station popular with young people.

There were a lot of girls who looked like Yume-chan, who were called “Jirai-kei”.

…Oh no, am I being weird?

“Makoto-san? What’s wrong?”

“Ah, uh… nothing, really.”

But now that we’re here, there’s no turning back.

I plucked up my courage and started walking with Yume-chan.

“Ah, this is cute! I like it too…!”

The place she took me to was surprisingly a lingerie store.

They had a wide variety of items, from cute to sexy.

But no matter how you look at it, this is very bad.

It’s embarrassing to be a guy in a store full of girls, even if I’m with her.

But ignoring me, Yume-chan was picking out underwear and holding it to her chest.

I just want this to be over soon. I want to get out of this store as soon as possible.

“Makoto-san, which one do you like?”

“Eh…?”

Yume-chan asked me, holding two pieces of lingerie in her hands.

One was a cute white lace, and the other was a mature-looking black one.

Why is she asking me? She should choose the one she likes.

My mind panicked, so I gave a casual answer to avoid it.

“Both look good on you, Yume-chan.”

“Really…? I’m embarrassed~”

Yume-chan shook her hips and blushed.

“Then could you give me your opinion when I try them on?”

“Wha…!? N-no… That’s a bit….”

Doesn’t she have any shame?

That’s definitely too much.

I’m not a teenager anymore, so I won’t get excited just by seeing a girl in underwear, but in this atmosphere, the situation feels really awkward.

“Ehh, you don’t want to see me in my underwear?”

“Ugh….”

But I’m also a man. I want to see a girl in sexy clothes. I can’t go against my instincts.

My heart was pounding, and then I felt a gaze.

“Gah…!?”

It was a cold, almost chilling look.

…Am I being watched?

I looked around, but I couldn’t find anyone who seemed to be looking at me.

…Maybe it’s just my imagination.

“Makoto-san…?”

“Ah, um… nothing.”

Yume-chan tilted her head, wondering why I was looking around.

Did she not notice the gaze…?

Maybe it was just my imagination? If so, that’s fine….

“Is that so? That’s fine then… So, do you want to see me in my underwear?”

“W-well… I do, but I’m a little embarrassed to do it here….”

I decided to give her an honest and safe answer.

That way, Yume-chan wouldn’t feel bad, and it wouldn’t be a bad answer.

As expected, Yume-chan blushed slightly and fidgeted with her lower body.

“S-so that means… You wouldn’t mind going to a hotel with me…?”

“Huh…?”

What is she mumbling about? Go where?

I wanted to ask, but Yume-chan blushed and said, “S-sorry! I’ll be right back…!” and hurried into the restroom.

…? What’s wrong with her all of a sudden?

Just as I was wondering if she was holding it in that badly, I bumped into someone walking toward me.

“Ah, I’m sorry…!”

“No, it’s my fault.”

I quickly apologized, and the person bowed and left the store.

That person was wearing a hat and sunglasses, which made her look suspicious, but this person was definitely a woman.

…Wait, that voice sounded familiar.

I tried to remember, but I couldn’t, so I decided not to worry about it. It’s probably nothing important.

And after about ten minutes, Yume-chan finally returned.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“No, it’s okay, but….”

Going to the restroom is a natural thing.

But of course, it was mentally painful to be stared at by the female customers and staff in the meantime.

Yume-chan seemed to have bought some underwear, but I couldn’t tell which one she chose.

I wonder which one she bought. I’m a little curious, but I don’t want to ask, so I’ll just keep it to myself.
