Bunny Girl

A top that barely covers the nipples and underbust, revealing almost everything else, and bottoms cut high-leg style.

An outer garment that clings tightly to the skin as if vacuum-sealed, constricting enough to even show the curve of the navel. High heels with a heel height no different from standing on tiptoes.

A bunny ear headband sticking up near the crown of the head.

“……”

The outfit the Vice-Knight Captains brought, claiming it was a uniform, was a bunny girl outfit.

And one with a considerably high exposure level.

The knight chosen to wear the uniform stood in a very stiff posture, but there was not a trace of embarrassment to be found. Just like the white sleeveless top, dolphin shorts, sports bra, and leggings combination before. From their perspective, it was only natural, as they were merely wearing an outfit that might become the Knights’ uniform.

“After sufficient discussion, we designed it with practicality as the focus, adding a touch of style.”

‘Practicality?’

I barely managed to suppress a hollow laugh that threatened to burst out. Designed with practicality as the focus?

Well, if a peerless beauty in a bunny girl outfit fought while her chest, which looked like it was about to pop out, swayed wildly, it would indeed be practical against men.

Because they would be distracted and easily expose their weaknesses.

‘Ah, but maybe not the men in this world.’

After all, this was a world where naked shirts, or even crop tops and hot pants, were considered ordinary clothing. I had never seen a man’s eyes go crazy because a woman was wearing revealing clothes.

It was only because I had experienced seeing scraps of cloth in the Holy Kingdom that made me seriously wonder, “Can you even call that clothes?”, that it ended with just a wry laugh. Otherwise, I would have failed to manage my expression long ago.

I wanted to refuse, but there was no justification. Didn’t they initially try to entrust all the choices to me?

I forced myself to give orders, telling them to design the uniform themselves. Then, after they gathered opinions from all the Knights, made samples, and had them worn, they rejected them for ridiculous reasons and sent them away, telling them to do it again?

If I were in their shoes, I would have cursed too. This bunny girl outfit might be absurd to me, but to the people here, it would be an extremely ordinary uniform.

‘But I can’t give them men’s uniforms either.’

This world had a very strict distinction between men’s and women’s clothing. If a man wore women’s clothing, or vice versa, a woman wore men’s clothing, they would be treated as insane.

That was also why all men’s clothing was ‘normal’. The modders barely touched men’s clothing, after all. In fact, considering the main consumer base for these kinds of mods, it might have been a natural outcome.

At least the designs of the uniforms had changed quite stylishly, but that was truly all there was to it.

These internal circumstances were also the reason why I couldn’t make the Knights of the Jet-Black Holy Night wear what I considered perfectly normal clothes as their uniform.

If I gave the order, they would obey, but I didn’t want them to be ridiculed because of me.

Men’s clothing was awkward for women to wear, and women’s clothing was all like this, so I chose the next best option… and the result was as you can see. I decided to quietly accept my fate.

“……I understand for now. And what is this paper? Is there something else you want to request?”

“Captain-nim, don’t you know about our organization?”

“That’s right.”

Unlike the Knights of the Silver Dawn, where regular members were directly under the Knight Captain, the Knights of the Golden Twilight had a much larger headcount, so they had Vice-Knight Captains under the Knight Captain, dividing the ranks once more.

I also decided not to change this position of Vice-Knight Captain.

If I abolished it for no reason, it would only add to the confusion until they adapted to the changed organization. Moreover, there needed to be someone with command authority for the Knights to function properly even when I wasn’t around.

“It’s a variation for distinguishing the organization.”

For a moment, I doubted my ears at the word “variation.” As soon as I unfolded the paper lying face down on the desk, I froze in place. What was drawn on the paper were six variations of bunny girl outfits.

A bunny girl with ordinary thigh-high black stockings.

A bunny girl with black stockings completely covering up to the pelvis.

A bunny girl with black fishnet thigh-high stockings.

A bunny girl with black fishnet stockings completely covering up to the pelvis.

A bunny girl with bare legs, wearing nothing.

And finally.

‘……Reverse bunny?’

Even a reverse bunny drawing that was briefly popular on the internet before I was transmigrated here. The lower body wore something that looked like underwear, but the nipples were covered with star-shaped stickers-a reverse bunny.

“……What is this?”

As I pointed at the reverse bunny with trembling fingers, Rakshia puffed out her chest and replied with a proud face.

“This is a special uniform just for our Vice-Knight Captains. Because Vice-Knight Captains need to be distinguishable from regular members.”

I desperately managed my expression. If I showed an unnecessarily violent reaction here, it could lead to the misunderstanding that I didn’t like the outfit.

Though it was true that I didn’t like the outfit.

Trying to force my attention elsewhere, my gaze fell on the knight in the bunny girl outfit, who was extremely tense. I seized the opportunity and changed the subject.

“When did you make that? It didn’t seem to take long enough to make clothes. Did you prepare it in advance?”

“It’s just a crude imitation of the appearance. We have a few people with good handiwork.”

‘Was making a uniform something that could be solved by saying someone had good handiwork?’

I carefully scanned the bunny girl knight’s body. It seemed that “crude imitation” wasn’t a humble remark, as the craftsmanship was surprisingly shoddy.

The stitching marks on the chest area were clearly visible, and the size was ill-fitting, making it precarious as if it would slip off at any moment. The fabric near the abdomen was stretched taut, on the verge of tearing.

The high-leg cut between her legs wasn’t even in the exact center; it was slightly off to the left. Below that was a plump-

“Hiccup.”

I snapped back to reality at the sound of a hiccup. I thought, “Oops,” to myself. I had stared too long.

I subtly checked the atmosphere. The bunny girl knight was squirming around with a bright red face, as if trying hard to endure the embarrassment. Surprisingly, the Vice-Knight Captains also showed no particular change in expression.

It was a calmer reaction than I expected.

“Ah, sorry. Did I stare too much?”

“Nooooo…… it’s okay, I’m fine.”

Despite saying she was fine, her face was turning even redder. It seemed like she would collapse any moment if I left her like that, so I told her I understood for now and sent her back first.

The bunny girl knight left the room with the unique walk that emphasized her hips, just like all the women here. As if to confirm it was a bunny girl outfit, the bunny tail attached near her tailbone was a bonus.

“Let’s go with this, and if there’s anything to modify, you modify it among yourselves. For the budget, once the final proposal is confirmed, come to me and claim it.”

I forced a calm expression and handed back the paper with the bunny girl variations drawn on it. Rakshia took the paper and carefully tucked it into her bosom.

No one pointed out that my way of speaking was gradually returning to normal. They must have noticed, but it wasn’t something to point out and break the mood, so they seemed to be just letting it pass.

It was really damn hard to maintain a dignified way of speaking, so I couldn’t help it. If I tried to think about every single one, my words would get tangled, and my dignity would be shattered.

“I understand, Captain-nim. Please rest comfortably.”

After the Vice-Knight Captains bowed their heads and greeted me before disappearing, I let out a long, deep sigh and leaned back in my chair. So, I have to see bunny girls and reverse bunny girls all the time I’m in the castle now.

Perhaps the white sleeveless top and dolphin shorts would have been better.

There was no food in the castle.

After all, this was a place where the only food available was meat soup and bread, which the lord had prepared, telling the Knights of the Silver Dawn to eat and be cursed. There wasn’t much suitable space to store food either.

The Vice-Knight Captains looked very troubled when they realized this fact, but I solved this problem in a very simple way.

“Take it.”

It was more money.

The money Aurora had given me for travel expenses when I got involved with the Inquisitor and headed to the Holy Kingdom remained almost exactly as it was in the castle’s storage warehouse for goods.

This was because I had no occasion to use money at all in the Holy Kingdom, and even after returning to the territory, I was too busy preparing for an audience with the Emperor.

So, on this occasion, I left only a little for myself and distributed all the rest. The eyes of the Knights receiving the gold coins sparkled immensely, and the Vice-Knight Captains also gulped.

There were even members playfully approaching with exaggerated gestures, saying they would be loyal for life. Indeed, the power of money was great. The stiff atmosphere immediately relaxed, after all.

‘Well, I probably don’t need to struggle to earn money.’

Even if I just said I’d sell ancient scrolls to Minerva, money would pour in to the point where I’d be buried alive in gold coins. And although it sounds like I’m a gigolo, I could also ask the Pope for help.

And since Aurora said she’d help me in every way possible, worrying about money was pointless.

“Are you there, Lord-nim?”

After giving money to the members and sending them to the city, and giving the guards a heads-up in advance, telling them not to be surprised by the newly appointed Knights, I immediately went to Aurora’s mansion and knocked on the door.

The maids of the mansion, including Lana, imposed no restrictions on me moving around as if it were my own house. Rather, they only greeted me respectfully.

“It’s open, come in.”

As I opened the door and entered, I saw Aurora sitting in an antique chair between a large desk placed in front of the window, as usual.

Aurora glanced at me and put down the documents she was holding.

“You came earlier than I expected? Have you already finished organizing?”

“There should be something left in the castle, right? There was nothing to organize, you know.”

“Indeed, it must have been completely empty because of that magic. It was faster to choose what was there than to look for what wasn’t, right?”

I handed her a bundle of papers with the list of necessary supplies written on it. Aurora quickly scanned it with her eyes and then carefully placed it in a corner of the desk.

“I can solve the food problem within two days, but what will you do until then? If you need money, tell me. I’ll give you as much as you want.”

Aurora was speaking on the premise that the magic on the castle had been dispelled. Even though I hadn’t actually said such a thing. She must have guessed it by seeing food included in the supply list.

As expected of an NPC known for being capable in the game, it was incredibly sharp insight.

“I don’t need money. I already gave them plenty.”

“Gave them plenty? Where would you get money from…… Ah, the money I gave you when you went to the Holy Kingdom last time?”

“Yes. Because there was no place to use it. It was almost all still there, you know.”

“Good. You’re using it frugally. That’s right. You should use the money that was given to you to use. If you just keep that respectfully, what would the person who gave it become?”

Aurora leaned back fully against the backrest, making a strange sound like “ooh-ooh-oong” as she stretched. Her smooth armpits were revealed, and her chest was greatly emphasized, flaunting her presence.

After finishing her stretch, Aurora leaned back in the chair again. Then, as if something to say came to mind, she suddenly sat up her upper body. Her chest greatly swayed for a moment.

“So, Delta, what are you going to do now?”

Her golden eyes, directed at me, emitted a brilliant golden gaze, just like Caecilia’s.
