Chapter 119: Male Zerg Star Pirate × Female Zerg Undercover Agent (4): You’re a Good Star Pirate... So Good You Don’t Seem Like One...

#An-shen's New Novel#

#Undercover#

#A Female Zerg Even Worse Than Iso Has Appeared!#

#Where Can I Buy Avis's Shirt?#

[His Lordship wearing Avis's shirt is seriously so alluring. My heart feels all warm just looking at it.]

[The slightly open collar, the loose hem, and those long, straight legs underneath... (tears flowing from the corner of my mouth).]

[His toes are so white and pink too.]

[??? What's wrong with you all? His Lordship has fallen into the hands of star pirates and is in danger, yet you're all paying attention to his clothes, his legs, and his toes???]

[I understand the reasoning, but just now my Male Lord took off my shirt and put it on.]

[???! (stunned)]

Female Zerg shirts suddenly became bestsellers.

But the Male Zergs quickly discovered that shirts only looked right if they had already been worn by a female Zerg—whether they stripped them off directly or dug them out of the wardrobe.

Learning fashion from An-shen's novels—Male Zergs truly understood the assignment.

[If you're wearing a female Zerg's shirt on top, what goes with it on the bottom?]

[According to the novel, there were just long, white, straight legs underneath. Was Ul not wearing any trousers?]

[Female Zerg trousers probably wouldn't fit. Understandable.]

[I've already copied the outfit, but... I can't really hide everything. How did Ul solve that?]

[No idea. Better find a female Zerg to help first.]

[Understood.]

Something sped away at incredible speed.

The female Zergs simply found the Lords' conversation unbearably adorable. The more they savored it, the more their pheromones overflowed.

...

【The Male Zerg didn't fall asleep until dawn was approaching.

Listening to His Lordship's steady breathing, Avis let his thoughts drift.

He had spent three years undercover within the star pirate crew.

What had once been unfamiliar had become familiar.

Yet because of his undercover identity, he had never truly become part of them.

Between him and every member of the pirate crew...

...there had always been an invisible barrier.

He carried secrets.

He dared not draw close.

He dared not trust.

Even those Zergs within the pirate crew...

...were ultimately not walking the same path as him.

This was the first time he had shared a room like this with another Zerg.

A Zerg from the Federation.

A Zerg who truly belonged to the same side as him.

Listening to the breathing of another Zerg inside the room...

...his own heart, which had drifted aimlessly through the endless sea of stars, finally seemed to find a place to rest.

A lonely traveler...

...had found the sound of home.

Although he still couldn't tell His Lordship anything...

...he would risk his life to take him back.

...

As usual, Avis brought His Lordship breakfast and waited until he finished eating before taking away the dishes.

Just as he was about to leave, the Male Zerg suddenly stopped him.

"Wait."

Avis halted and turned around.

Ul was still wearing his shirt.

Sitting beside the table, both hands rested upon his fair thighs, gently clutching the hem of the oversized shirt.

When he looked up...

...those amber eyes held Avis's reflection.

As though they had captured him.

"...Can you come back earlier today?"

Ul asked softly.

His eyelashes slowly lowered, revealing a trace of unease.

Avis's ears buzzed.

He had never expected to hear something like that.

Originally, he had planned to spend the entire day outside again and only return at night to sleep on the sofa.

His Lordship actually...

...wanted him to come back earlier?

Then again...

Male Zergs were generally emotionally sensitive and had greater emotional needs.

Being left alone inside a place like this...

...must be lonely and frightening.

"I'll come back earlier."

His thumb unconsciously rubbed the edge of the tray in his hands.

Listening to his own heartbeat losing its rhythm beneath his ribs, he added,

"I'll be back soon."

"Okay."

Ul smiled at him.

It was the first time Avis had ever seen a Male Zerg smile.

It was...

...beautiful.

Like the first ray of morning sunlight falling across him.

When Avis left, his thoughts were wrapped in a haze.

After returning the dishes, he went into the refrigerated storage room behind the kitchen and searched for fruits favored by Male Zergs.

Fresh fruits and vegetables were precious commodities in space.

However, because their ship housed many herbivorous species, every resupply paid particular attention to stocking them.

Their Captain looked carefree, all muscles and no brains...

...yet when it came to managing certain aspects of the pirate crew, he was surprisingly meticulous.

After washing the fruit, Avis returned.

The Male Zerg was sitting by the table, chin resting on one hand as he watched him.

Those bare legs beneath the table looked cold.

Unfortunately...

Avis simply didn't own any trousers a Male Zerg could wear.

He placed the fruit platter on the table for His Lordship before walking to the wardrobe.

After searching through everything...

...he finally chose a set of soft pajamas.

He hadn't worn them much.

The fabric was gentle against the skin.

Within his limited options...

...it was the best choice.

Avis tore the garment apart.

He cut and altered it, threading strips of cloth through holes and tying them together in place of stitching.

Eventually...

...he managed to make an extremely crude lower garment.

There was simply no better solution.

During the night he had spent with His Lordship...

...the ship had left the transfer station several days earlier than expected.

Now they were already deep within the vast universe.

No one knew when they would next purchase supplies.

He couldn't buy clothes for His Lordship.

This was the only thing he could do.

The biggest problem with this handmade garment...

...was that he didn't know how to sew trouser legs.

So...

...it was basically one straight tube.

A straight tube with openings along the sides, laced together with strips of cloth.

His Lordship had probably never worn something so crude.

Even Avis himself felt embarrassed handing it over.

Still...

...it was the best he could manage.

At least it would provide some coverage...

...and warmth.

"My Lord..."

Avis held out the handmade garment with both hands, too ashamed to raise his head.

Ul: "..."

He had watched the other Zerg tinkering with it the whole time.

Never had he expected...

...that this monstrosity would be the final result.

Well...

Walking around with everything hanging out in front of a female Zerg really wasn't appropriate.

Even if...

...he was exceptionally well endowed.

Ul cast the female Zerg a resentful glance.

Reluctantly...

...he accepted the garment and changed into it right in front of him.

Throughout the entire process, Avis stared fixedly at the tips of his own shoes, never daring to look up.

Only after His Lordship finished changing did his gaze cautiously travel upward from the Male Zerg's ankles.

The off-white garment, laced together with cloth strips...

...unexpectedly looked stunning on His Lordship.

It carried a primitive...

...almost wild beauty.

Sure enough...

Fashion ultimately depended on the face.

His Lordship's appearance and figure elevated the garment far beyond what it deserved.

It wouldn't have looked out of place even as the cover outfit of a fashion magazine.

Looking down at the ugly garment that concealed every one of his physical advantages...

Ul began questioning his entire life.

Dressed like this...

...there was no way he'd attract a female Zerg.

Yet when he looked up...

...he found the female Zerg staring at him in complete fascination.

His eyes were filled with amazement.

Ul: "..."

The aesthetic standards of female and Male Zergs really did exist on completely different wavelengths.

Ul reluctantly accepted the ugly outfit.

If...

...the other Zerg liked it.

"Thank you. The clothes are beautiful. You're very skilled."

Ul praised him sincerely, gratitude written all over his face.

Knowing perfectly well what kind of craftsmanship he possessed, Avis hurriedly shook his head.

"No...

It's because you make them look good."

Ul froze for a moment after being unexpectedly complimented.

Then lowered his head and said softly,

"No matter what...

...thank you.

I originally thought...

...you wouldn't allow me to wear clothes.

That you'd even strip off the shirt of yours I'm wearing.

Leave me barely clothed...

...so I could only lie in bed and let you enjoy me..."

As he spoke...

...his lowered eyelashes trembled lightly.

He looked utterly terrified.

Avis was so shocked he nearly bit his own tongue.

How could he ever do something like that to His Lordship?

He hurriedly explained,

"Please don't worry!

I would never do something like that!

You may wear my clothes whenever you like.

Wear them however you want!

Once I get the opportunity...

...I'll prepare new clothes for you."

There wouldn't be any supply purchases for the time being.

But not all of a star pirate's supplies came through legitimate procurement...

The thought left Avis feeling conflicted.

If luck was on their side...

...they might encounter one of the small supply ships wandering the Star Sea.

They could conduct old-fashioned barter.

Trading unwanted junk from the ship...

...for supplies they actually needed.

The Wolf Crew enjoyed an excellent reputation in this regard.

Many small independent ships were willing to trade with them.

Ul looked at him gratefully.

"Thank you.

You're a good star pirate...

...so good you don't seem like a star pirate at all."

Avis was suddenly startled.

He hadn't expected to hear something like that.

Whether it was because Ul said he didn't seem like a star pirate...

...or for some other reason.

The truth was...

...he really hadn't done very well.

After a moment of silence, Avis sat down on the sofa opposite the Male Zerg and said,

"Actually...

...not every star pirate is bad."

"Oh?"

Ul looked at him curiously.

"Aside from a small number who genuinely love adventure...

...most become star pirates because they've run out of every other option."

Avis spoke quietly, his expression complicated.

"For example...

Some of the female Zergs in the Wolf Crew...

Many of them were driven to the point where they simply couldn't survive under their Male Lords anymore.

They had no choice but to flee Zerg territory.

Some even escaped carrying hatchlings with them...

If they had another choice...

...who would willingly become a star pirate?"
