Vol 4. Chapter 152: The Underwear Incident

Yumo was feeling extremely regretful right now.

She regretted letting Mengxi search through that wardrobe for clothes on her own.

The clothes inside that wardrobe had been specially purchased by Saiboke after arriving in Anvika, and every single item was brand new.

Although Miss Yumo was publicly known as the eldest young lady of the Black Rose Family, she hadn't developed any extravagant lifestyle habits. Unlike many noble young ladies, she wasn't the sort of person who changed outfits several times a day.

Yumo still preferred wearing her old clothes.

As for new clothes? She could simply change into them once her old ones wore out...

Besides...

Xiao had already given her so many clothes before...

And so...

Yumo hadn't bothered dealing with the various garments Saiboke had newly purchased. Instead, she simply instructed the Black Rose Family's maids to store them in that wardrobe.

It wasn't until today, when Mengxi mentioned that she had no clothes to wear, that Yumo remembered the wardrobe existed.

Everything inside was brand new, including underwear, pajamas, and other garments. Moreover, Mengxi was roughly the same height as her, so the clothes should fit.

With that in mind, Yumo had allowed Mengxi to rummage through the wardrobe herself.

However...

The moment Mengxi pulled out that pair of erotic panties with an opening in the crotch, overwhelming feelings of embarrassment and regret surged endlessly into Miss Yumo's heart.

The black-haired girl bit her lip and clenched her fists in displeasure.

As she stared fixedly at the assortment of outrageously embarrassing garments beside Mengxi's thighs, the anger in Yumo's eyes grew increasingly intense.

"Saiboke... You damned brat!"

A certain divine artifact hidden within the space inside Yumo's body couldn't help emitting a restless crimson glow.

At the very same moment...

Far away in Anvika, Saiboke, who was currently purchasing renovation supplies, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

His entire body trembled, and he nervously began looking around.

"Why... do I suddenly have such a bad feeling...?"

...

...

Actually...

Buying all that erotic lingerie hadn't been Saiboke's intention.

In Saiboke's opinion, Lady Yumo was the Lord of the Abyss Demons and, more importantly, the 'Mother' most revered by everyone in the Black Rose Family.

Naturally, she deserved to enjoy the finest lifestyle on the entire continent.

If Lady Yumo owned only fifty or sixty outfits, that would honestly be rather embarrassing.

Such a meager wardrobe couldn't even compare to those of many noble young ladies and daughters of powerful families.

And so...

To protect Lady Yumo's 'dignity,' Saiboke brought several servants and Lady Yumo's body measurements to Anvika for an extravagant shopping spree.

He practically purchased several sets of every style of women's clothing available in the Crimson Leaf Empire's capital.

Of course, since he was buying clothes, underwear was indispensable as well.

However, as an elderly butler, it was ultimately rather inappropriate for Saiboke to enter a lingerie shop and personally select underwear for Lady Yumo.

To avoid embarrassment, the old butler simply asked the lingerie shop's owner to package up roughly a hundred of the most popular styles of women's underwear currently sold in the empire, with three or four sets of each style in different colors.

And just like that, Saiboke returned to Yexinlian with an enormous collection of underwear.

As for the specific designs of those undergarments...

The old butler genuinely had no idea...

However...

Whether he knew or not was no longer important.

After all, Miss Yumo had already set her sights on Saiboke's backside...

...

After mentally giving Saiboke a thorough 'greeting,' Yumo hurriedly raised her hand and pointed toward the frilly, openwork panties in Mengxi's hands.

Her face flushed with embarrassment, the girl hastily emphasized:

"Th-Those aren't mine!"

"They're not Sister Yumo's? Then why are they in your wardrobe? Sister Yumo, you don't have to be shy. There are quite a few girls in the Lily Garden dormitories who often wear this kind of underwear when interacting with each other~"

Mengxi tilted her head, her voice brimming with mischief.

"Interacting?! How indecent?! ...Ah, no! What they do is their own business! Those clothes really aren't mine! Saiboke bought them earlier and just stored them in this wardrobe! I didn't even know there were clothes like these inside!"

"Hm? Really?!"

"Really!"

"Enmm..."

Mengxi fell into brief contemplation, examining the erotic lingerie in her hands while discreetly studying Yumo's face from the corner of her eye.

Then...

The very next instant...

Under Yumo's somewhat dumbfounded gaze, the silver-haired girl directly lifted the panties toward her face, brought her nose close, and gave them a sniff~

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

"Checking whether they smell like Sister Yumo."

Ignoring Yumo's startled cry, Mengxi answered with an entirely serious expression.

She looked as solemn as a detective investigating a major crime scene, with the word 'serious' practically written across her face.

After thoroughly inspecting the garment, Mengxi lowered the panties and met Yumo's crimson eyes with a solemn yet slightly disappointed gaze.

"They don't smell like Sister Yumo. Looks like you really haven't worn them before."

Uh...

My scent?

Is this girl really that familiar with my scent?

She can tell just by sniffing...

Somehow, this feels a little strange...

Yumo muttered inwardly.

Although the process was somewhat difficult to accept, at least it proved her innocence.

After letting out a long sigh of relief, Yumo slowly spoke.

"See? Now you believe me, right...?"

"Yes, I do."

Mengxi nodded before letting out another extremely helpless sigh.

"Sigh..."

"Wh-What's wrong now?"

"These panties are so pretty and cute, yet Sister Yumo has never worn them? What a pity~ Sister is so beautiful, and your body is so alluring. I'm sure you'd look absolutely gorgeous wearing them~"

"Th-These?! These panties?! How could anyone wear something like this?! They're far too shameless! If you want to wear them, then wear them yourself! I'm certainly not going to!"

Yumo crossed her arms over her chest in displeasure and turned her head away.

However, upon hearing those words, Mengxi suddenly raised her eyebrows, a mischievous glimmer appearing in her eyes.

"Me wearing them? Enmm... If it's for Sister Yumo to see... I suppose I wouldn't mind~"

"Huh? Wh-What did you say?"

"I'll just try them on. Clothes like these are pretty expensive, you know. It would be a shame not to wear them~"

After revealing a sweet, enchanting smile...

Under Miss Yumo's utterly astonished gaze, Mengxi slowly stood up, picked up the erotic panties and their matching delicate bra, and then gradually raised one leg...

?!!

Hey?!

Are you serious?!

At that moment, Yumo held her breath.

After briefly imagining what Mengxi would look like wearing that lingerie set, the rosy blush that had finally faded from her cheeks returned once again.

"Stop giving me fanservice out of nowhere!! You're the Child of Destiny! Can't you behave a little more properly?!"

"But... I don't want to behave properly in front of Sister Yumo. Besides... this underwear feels so comfortable~"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

With her face bright red, Miss Yumo instantly transformed into a streak of crimson light and rushed in front of Mengxi.

She snatched the bra from the girl's hands and mercilessly pulled off the erotic panties that Mengxi had already started putting on.

"No! You'd better not wear clothes like these..."

"But..."

"No buts! I said you can't wear them, so you can't!"

Yumo declared with absolute firmness.

Faced with this, Mengxi didn't dare say anything more.

Instead, she lowered her little head with an expression of 'grievance.'

"All right... Then I'll... go find something else to wear."

With that, Mengxi prepared to turn around and search through the wardrobe again.

However...

Before the silver-haired girl could even turn her head, Yumo called out to her once more.

"There's no need to look in there anymore. I'll give you a set myself."

"Hm? Sister Yumo, you'll give me a set?"

"Mm."

Yumo nodded and immediately waved her hand.

Several Blood Butterflies instantly flew toward the wardrobe behind Mengxi under Yumo's mental command and slammed its doors shut.

Since she wasn't sure whether the wardrobe contained even more embarrassing garments, or perhaps even toys, Yumo had no intention of allowing Mengxi to continue rummaging through it.

Otherwise, she might discover something strange and contaminate the pure heart of the Child of Destiny.

Well...

Although, after they had finally revealed their true identities to each other, Yumo increasingly felt that Mengxi didn't really have much to do with the word 'pure' anymore...

At most, her outward appearance was somewhat pure...

As for her inner thoughts...

Forget it.

For the sake of protecting my poor little heart, I'd better not let her keep searching.

After sighing helplessly, Yumo opened another wardrobe beside her bed and, with practiced ease, took out a set of underwear and a nightdress.

She tossed them toward the silver-haired girl.

"Wear these. This set should suit you better."

"This set?"

Catching the pink underwear and exquisite white nightdress Yumo had thrown her way, Mengxi froze slightly.

Then...

Just like before...

The silver-haired girl once again brought the underwear and nightdress up to her nose, carefully savoring the scent lingering on the fabric.

As a familiar jasmine fragrance entered her nostrils, an expression of complete satisfaction gradually appeared on Mengxi's breathtakingly beautiful face~

A faintly intoxicated look even emerged in her pale-purple eyes.

"Mmm~ It's Sister Yumo's scent~ These are clothes Sister has worn before~ Hehe~"

"..."

Seeing this, Yumo, whose pretty face had turned bright red, couldn't help biting her lip.

"You little..."

"Hm? What's wrong, Sister Yumo?"

"Are you really the Child of Destiny?... You haven't been possessed by some little perverted girl, some little hentai, have you...?"

"Hehe~"
