66. New Sugar
The Holy City's Grand Cathedral.
A base of the Saint's faith boasting a history of nearly two thousand years.
With the reverence for the Saint reaching the heavens in the form of prayer incense, a fervent worship service filled the air with the sound of beautiful song.
The choir, dressed in white robes, sang with solemn expressions. Their chorus wove into a single melody under the conductor's hand.
Sometimes soft, sometimes passionate.
The tempo and rhythm shifted wildly, but without a single mistake, they mouthed the lyrics.
Only His, His! Only His name, only His name! Exalted—
In the Saint's choir, there was one special feature: when singing, they infused their magic as if chanting.
Just as the melody became one, each member's magic became one.
Choral chanting.
Not like some heretic who erased individual will and controlled the body at will, but the real deal.
It was a very difficult technique that required suppressing individual characteristics and harmonizing with all others. So even when the choir performed ordinary songs, they sang as if in a real battle. Always in sync, always one. Always ready to repel evil. Ready to be deployed to such a place.
And here, in this sacred group, there was one prospective member.
Due to her pure magical affinity, this young lady with white hair fit seamlessly into any part.
Aaaah—
Lightly, like the wind. Using her small mouth to let out her voice.
Though she still had the innocent aura of childhood, she was a proper adult. In this world, she had reached the age to be called an adult.
The chest slightly rising above the robe, the slim waist, and the prominent hips contrasting with her slender figure caught the eye.
Her face, which was already praised for being beautiful, shone even more as an adult. Large eyes, straight nose. The faintly tinted cheeks on her white, soft skin were adorable.
Under the cathedral where sunlight passing through the stained glass rained down like scattered jewels.
Sugar's appearance, wearing a white robe with her white hair flowing lightly in the breeze, was like an angel. If anyone in here was the most eye-catching, it must be this girl.
“ ... Hah.”
After the choir ended, Sugar let out a sigh and sat down. The choir had dedicated seats, where they performed worship and offered praises.
Now, it was almost time for the worship to end, and they would do one more round of singing.
So, only the boring time remained.
Sermon time.
“ Cool... cool...”
Though her body had grown, this hadn't changed at all.
...
“ Thank you—”
After the worship, the choir members gathered in one place, greeted each other, and headed back to the practice hall.
Sugar immediately took off her robe and ran straight to the conductor.
“ Leader.”
They called her 'Choir Leader' as 'Leader'.
“ Thank you for your hard work during this time. This is for you to return.”
“ Uwaaa...! Sugar...! Who will fill the missing parts if you leave...!”
“ You can find someone who is good. The Lord will guide them, right?”
“ Aah... That's right... You should go and live well too. May blessings be upon you.”
“ I haven't practiced the real thing yet, but I'll try hard to do so.”
After bowing with a smile and greeting, she greeted the other choir members too.
She had been temporarily deployed to fill the missing part, but because she performed better than expected, they had been together until now, and now she was finally leaving. Soon, she would have to go outside the Holy City for the practical exam.
Practical exam?
Where was the practical?
Of course, at Stille!
The written exam three months ago. She had passed.
For years, she had continued magic training and theoretical studies, and around 1-2 years ago, she had focused only on studying.
Can I go... Can I go... I hate the college entrance exam... I should quit... Now I hate studying...
Sugar! Snap out of it! What is the college entrance exam!
Through these ups and downs, she had barely made it into the passing line.
Ian had passed easily. She was quite good at studying. She had helped Sugar a lot with her studies.
The exam was conducted by the examiner coming directly to this land from Stille.
In an unprecedented situation of 'Tianzi's admission application', the Stille side had been panicked but luckily accommodated the situation. Thanks to that, Sugar next to her had also taken the exam as a bonus. V.
Thus, the two girls had safely passed the written exam.
Then, what about the other one?
The boy who had become a proper young man?
I don't know!
Sugar made a slightly annoyed expression and headed to the tower. But strangely, as soon as she opened the door, it was noisy. This place wasn't supposed to be like this.
“ Prepare prepare prepare! What first? First, put everything in!”
“ Ian-nim. Calm down.”
“ Outside! Outside, Sugar! I'm going outside this land! The first step! Kyaaaa!”
The sight of a grown-up girl jumping around was quite heartwarming.
Of course, she was in male disguise. Her hair had been short when she was young, but now she had grown it and tied it lightly into one. The clothes were neat in male suit style.
First, since the chest area was flat. I didn't know what magic bandage was used, but anyway, she could pass as a man.
But. If you took off that bandage, it was amazing...
Hmm.
The private matters of the precious Tianzi must be protected.
Her body had lived only in this land her whole life. Among the three Guardians, two of them, and with the approval of the Saintess, the decision to 'permit admission to Stille' was made by majority, so finally she could go outside.
But regarding the freedom after graduating from Stille, it was unclear. For now, only a few years of school life were guaranteed. Still, she was excited.
“ This day... This day really came... Is it a dream?”
“ Me too, it's like a dream. But first, I have to pass the practical exam—”
“ If it's us, we'll definitely pass!”
She hugged Sugar and spun around. No matter how much she had grown, her body was smaller than the average adult woman, so Sugar swayed as Ian moved.
“ Ian-nim...”
“ That's right! Let's go to the market! We need to buy things to use and clothes to wear... Let's buy various things!”
It was a happy situation, but since there was someone who was much more excited and jumping around than herself, the feeling of 'haha...' was known.
It was exactly that now.
Still, good was good, so Sugar also smiled and followed.
“ Sugar, let's buy clothes first!”
Ian, who had hidden her face with a hoodie from somewhere, held her hand and led her. The number of times she had dragged her around as a goddess when they were young had decreased a lot. Now she was grown up.
“ My clothes... I can just wear the ones given at the Holy City.”
“ It's boring! It's so cute, so why not dress up.”
“ I'm too cute, that's the problem.”
“ That's right. It's so cute that I want to pinch your cheeks.”
While saying that, she was already pulling one side.
“ Hihiheheho...”
And then they entered the women's clothing store.
The market of the Holy City's main base where many people gathered... Surprisingly, there were many stylish clothes.
“ Waa... Pretty...”
As Ian looked around with sparkling eyes, Sugar leaned against the wall in a corner saying 'Just tell me what to pick...' She was like a boyfriend accompanying his girlfriend.
“ This? How about this?”
“ No, it's too long. It's not like for a date with girls.”
“ But it's cute...”
Ian's shoulder drooped as she held a frilly one-piece dress up to Sugar. Then Sugar felt a bit sorry for no reason.
Ian-nim couldn't wear cute clothes because of the disguise. She probably wanted to vent that desire through her.
Since she was deep in thought, Sugar grumbled but opened her mouth to advise her.
“ Well, I'm grateful for the thought, but—”
“ Then wear it for the date. Keep.”
“ Eh?”
“ Go on a date. You weren't going to, right?”
“ ... Ah, so when going to the date, you want me to wear this when playing with Anne-nim and me?”
“ ... A smart kid like this has no sense for these things.”
And she closed her mouth and went to another corner. Sugar tilted her head and followed behind.
By then, Ian had a full basket with several women's shirts, light blouses, and one-pieces. It was scary. Terrifying. This person was a woman.
“ I picked the tops and one-pieces roughly... How about the bottoms? Sugar, is there something you want to wear?”
“ Just something comfortable is fine...”
“ Ah! This is cute!”
“ That one is a bit. It's uncomfortable.”
And then she picked up several. Pleated skirts with nicely arranged pleats.
Since panties were visible, she had to wear shorts. It would be too troublesome. She was already wearing the bottom, why put it on again? Uu.
“ Then pants? That's not cute...”
Since she herself wore properly fitted slacks every day, Ian stuck out her lips in disgust.
“ Comfort is the best. Sometimes when acting as the guardian of public decency, it's when it's indecent between men and women...! This is just clothes...!”
She was very willful, reading erotic romance novels.
Sugar, who knew what kind of books Ian usually read, shook her head.
“ Then... Ah! This! How about this?”
“ This is...”
She took one from the hanger and held it up. It turned out the pants were right.
But the length was too short. This was like hot pants that hot body girls wore at the beach.
“ No, I asked for pants, why did you bring panties.”
“ Panties! It's proper fashion!”
“ Aigoo. If I wear this, my legs will be fully exposed. Manly. Indecent. Aigoo.”
“ Leg exposure is the trend these days...”
Since the Tianzi-nim who liked yaseol (erotic novels) said 'Leg exposure is fine in this era', the world had become terrifying.
“ If it's short and burdensome, you can wear this too.”
Ian pointed to something hanging in a corner.
Wow. It was pantyhose. Synthetic fiber. In a fantasy world where trains ran and cafes existed, no surprise.
“ The latest trend. It's a fiber thinner than spider silk but super tough. I heard it's made with glue or something... Anyway. You can cover with this?”
It was natural fiber, not synthetic.
But what? So, wear super short pants and black pantyhose made of this natural fiber together?
My taste is a bit...
This person read yashikuri (weird) things a lot since childhood, so she was a bit strange. While seeming to like frilly things like other girls, she also liked this fashion.
When Sugar looked at her with suspicious eyes, Ian started mumbling to herself.
“ W-well, I just thought it would be cute... First, there's no exposure at all. Try it on.”
She handed over the shirt, pants, and stockings and shoved her into the fitting room.
What could she do. The heavenly Tianzi had commanded it.
Sugar first took off all her clothes. She removed the bra and panties. She was naked.
Immediately, she put on the comfortable shirt first. It fit perfectly since she had chosen the right size.
Then.
Pantyhose.
“ Uum...”
So, this was what you wore. The day had come when she wore such things while living.
No matter how long she had been a woman, there was a stage to the experience, right? In her previous life, she never wore such things, and in this life either.
Women's pantyhose. The exclusive property of women.
It felt smooth and soft when touched, but also rough. Strange feeling.
Even though it was a bra, she hesitated, but as a woman, she had to wear it. If not, it hurt and everything showed.
But this felt like a delicacy. It was optional. It was just a fashion item with no practical use other than covering the legs.
Instead, it had the effect of highlighting the lines, so many men had a fetish for it. Thinking like that, it felt like wearing something she shouldn't wear.
... What am I thinking strangely.
It was just clothes. Clothes. Ian-nim must have moved it for her. Sugar decided to think comfortably.
Immediately, she put on the right foot first.
“ Ooh...”
Strange feeling. The smooth but slightly rough sensation from earlier wrapped around the legs.
When first putting the foot in, it was loose, but as she slowly lifted it over the leg, a slight pressure was felt. The supple yet tough fiber wrapping the leg... It had amazing presence.
Soon at the thigh area. The stockings hugging Sugar's plump, soft flesh tightly.
Ah, won't it tear.
As the fiber stretched along the thigh, the color softened. Hmm, was it okay? It seemed like it might tear soon, but it was tougher than thought.
After putting on the right leg, Sugar put on the left leg. The feeling of the stockings slowly climbing with friction between skin was strange.
White, smooth legs. The outline was accentuated by being covered with black, semi-transparent material.
Now finished. Since both legs were on, now she lifted up to the panties. Pull up- covering up to the belly area. The feeling of pressure from navel to toes was constantly conscious.
Suddenly, she looked in the mirror.
“ Uwa...”
The legs of a woman wearing stockings as seen in media. Exactly that. Even though it was her own legs, it was yashishi (weirdly erotic). The appearance under the white shirt, wearing only panties and stockings. The line falling in a plump curve from hips to thighs, thighs to knees.
She turned slightly back. Then the outline of the buttocks was clearly visible. It stood out more than when wearing just the bottom, so a strange thought came to mind.
Immediately, she touched her thighs. The hand unconsciously went there. Whether the self that was once a man shouted or just curiosity awakened. Anyway, it was her own body. When touching, it was soft, plush, sinking feeling.
It wasn't just smooth but addictive. When grabbing a handful, the feeling of the flesh filling the hand was satisfying.
“ ...”
While mesmerized, touching and fiddling, Ian's voice 'Sugar, are you done yet?' was heard, so she hurriedly put on the pants.
Hmm. But these pants... They seemed a bit tight. You knew the feeling of the clothes clinging too much and slipping down.
First, she came out of the fitting room.
“ This pants are a bit tight—”
“ U, uwaaaaa...”
“ ... Eh?”
Sugar was taken aback by the reaction of a pervert uncle.
Still, without caring, Ian with her mouth wide open looked up and down Sugar's lower body with her eyes.
Indecent. Indecent. If Ryly saw this, public indecency. But it was cute.
The position of having to avoid indecent things. Yet, a sad habit of enjoying such things. The Tianzi whose two sides clashed had broken.
Sugar just made a troubled, hesitant expression.
