Underwear Thief

Ugh…

I’m so tired…

I sank into the soft cushion of the carriage and let out a deep sigh.

Chasing after Miel and using all that pollen in the market really wore me out.

Miel was squirming in my palm.

What a struggle to catch him.

The market is already in shambles thanks to me, so it doesn’t matter if it’s a bit more messy, but the chase was harder than I thought.

Squirm, squirm!

“Hey! Stay still!”

I gripped Miel tighter in my hand.

His blue wings were poking out between my fingers.

You’ll be stuffed and mounted once we get back to the lair!

The carriage slowed down and came to a complete stop.

Looking out the window, I saw the main gate of the Crystal Cathedral.

The crystal walls sparkled in every color as they reflected the sunset.

The guards bowed respectfully and opened the gate.

“Welcome! Lycoris!”

As I stepped out of the carriage, a cool breeze brushed against my cheek.

In the distance, I saw two elegant silhouettes at the castle entrance.

Silver hair flowing gracefully in the wind…

It’s the Master!

And Nis is there too, dressed in black.

As always, you’re breathtakingly beautiful.

The Master’s elegant demeanor, the enigmatic smile like moonlight…

Even from afar, my heart races.

“Hehe, I’m back!”

I waved my arms and called out cheerfully.

The fatigue of the day vanished the moment I saw the Master.

“Welcome back.”

The Master’s gentle voice carried through the evening air.

Just hearing it warms my heart.

Nis also welcomed us, still holding Rote tightly.

A dark aura swirled around Rote, seeming thicker than before.

Rote itself was sparkling more than usual.

“Where did you go?”

The Master tilted her head slightly, asking.

“The market and the orphanage!”

“The orphanage?”

The Master’s beautiful eyebrows rose slightly.

So charming, even when questioning.

“What’s that?”

I opened my mouth to explain, but-

Whoosh!

Miel suddenly escaped my grasp!

Oh no!

How did you get out?!

Flutter, flutter!

Miel quickly snatched some of my hair and began writing in the air.

“Ah!”

《 Those without parents are called orphans, and the place where they are cared for is an orphanage! Frostia! 》

I was about to explain!

Miel looked proud, scattering blue pollen before landing on the Master’s shoulder.

Ugh!

Just drop it!

And whether it’s a runaway or not isn’t certain!

“Then, we should go find Glacia.”

The Master said with a concerned expression.

“It’s fine! She’ll come back eventually!”

What’s the hurry? I’d rather spend my precious time with the Master!

Glacia can take care of herself!

“Hmmm… but a runaway subordinate needs proper punishment.”

Nis smiled meaningfully and glanced at the Crimson Bind on my waist.

“Shall I help?”

Right!

My sword holds Nis’s runaway subordinate!

It’s only natural to be strict with a traitor.

But what kind of punishment?

Perhaps a mind-control collar like Rote’s?

A sudden idea flashed in my mind.

Glacia’s large frame would make her a magnificent mecha…

With glowing red eyes and enormous wasp wings fluttering majestically…

Truly a flying car of the future!

So cool!

While others ride carriages or walk, I’ll have a Mercedes truck!

This is a must-have!

And… using the excuse to find Glacia, I can travel the world with the Master!

“Yes, punishment is needed! Let’s go find her!”

I suddenly changed my mind and shouted energetically.

《 You had another weird thought. 》

Miel mocked me again.

Ugh, this guy…

If Glacia becomes a car, you’ll just ride her.

Let’s spread Mercedes-Benz in this world too!

“Huhu, good.”

The Master smiled beautifully and said.

“Leave immediately?”

“Oh, no! Let’s rest here and go later!”

No need to rush. It’s better to take it easy.

And… I have special plans for tonight!

The Master agreed with a nod.

…

I quickly finished dinner and hurried to my room.

My heart pounded as I walked down the hall.

Finally…

Time to try it out!

As soon as I entered my room, I locked the door tightly.

Then, I took out the precious items from the pocket of my dress.

『「Blood Seducer」 – An alluring red bra. Equipment imbued with the seduction authority that Nihililion dreamed of.』

『「Blood Enchant」 – Red panties that match the Blood Seducer. Made from silk soaked in Nihililion’s blood.』

Hehehe…

The red silk shimmered mysteriously.

Just touching it feels soft and smooth…

Nice…

Now, really…

I placed the bra and panties on the dresser and entered the bathroom.

The large crystal bathtub glimmered under the moonlight.

The bathroom was also beautifully designed.

Petals floated on the water, and fragrant bath oil created a thin rainbow film on the surface.

Hehe…

I’ll wash up quickly and go see the Master!

Soaking in the warm water melted away the day’s fatigue.

The orphanage children were happy, the Master was pleased… Today was a wonderful day.

Hmm~

I hummed a tune, feeling good.

***

“I’ll go to my room first!”

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

“Girls need their alone time sometimes.”

“How do you know about that? And what does it have to do with being an orphan?”

“It’s weird for an orphan to talk about alone time when they’ve always been alone.”

“Ugh! It’s not like I’ve always been alone! I had monster friends, and later subordinates…”

Gulp, gulp.

Vegetables are always delicious, but Mom’s the best!

But something feels empty.

It’s most comfortable when Glacia is here!

The chair is hard and uncomfortable!

“Mom! I miss Glacia!”

“Lico already ate and left,” said Grandma.

Do-do-do!

“Mom! Where are you?”

I looked around but couldn’t find her.

Mom’s not here!

“Lico is in her room.”

Grandma pointed to the door.

Do-do-do!

“Mom! Where are you?”

I ran into the hallway and shouted loudly, but there was no response.

Ah!

Mom’s room is on the third floor!

I ran up the stairs and stood in front of her door.

“This is Mom’s room!”

Rattle, rattle!

“Huh?”

Rattle, rattle!

No matter how I turned the handle, the door wouldn’t open.

The door is broken!

Mom is trapped!

“Yap!”

Bang!

I pounded on the door with my fist, and it creaked open.

Inside, the room smelled strongly of Mom.

Hehe.

It’s Mom’s scent!

Of course, Mom’s room smells like Mom!

But Mom wasn’t there.

“Wung?”

“Kanpeki de Kyokku no Aidoru~”

Mom’s voice came from the bathroom, singing softly.

Mom is taking a bath and singing!

Mom’s singing is so good!

I’ll wait then!

Hop!

I jumped onto the soft bed.

The bed felt like a cloud!

It smelled like Mom and was so soft!

Rolling around!

Something shiny caught my eye.

A red outfit lay on the dresser.

“Wow! So pretty!”

I jumped off the bed and approached the dresser.

It’s a beautiful red outfit!

It smells like Mom and sparkles!

I lifted my cape to look at myself.

Everyone else wears lots of clothes, but I only have a cape.

Hehe!

“Nakoga ba!”

A special outfit that smells like Mom!

A gift from Mom!

I took off my cape and picked up the panties.

I don’t know why I’m wearing this, but I want to dress like everyone else.

I put my legs through and pulled them up, but they were a bit loose.

Strangely, the panties shrank and fit my body perfectly!

“Hehe! Now for the top!”

I picked up the red, butterfly-shaped outfit.

But I didn’t know how to put it on.

“Eeung…”

I tried putting it on my head and arms but didn’t understand.

“Wung… Otoke hazu?”

I held the mysterious outfit, deep in thought.

Then, the outfit suddenly glowed red.

It grew and transformed into…

“Wow!”

A beautiful red dress that fit my small frame perfectly!

“Amazing!”

I don’t know how it changed, but it’s so pretty!

I put on the dress, and it fit perfectly!

“Yaho!”

I put it over my head.

The soft fabric felt wonderful against my skin.

“So pretty!”

Looking in the mirror, I looked like a butterfly princess, just like Miel said!
