Chapter 253: I Want You To Make a Disgusted Face and Show Me Your Underwear (3)
Vestia is a long way from Noctar.
Unlike the Great Forest, which was close enough for a stroll, getting there required a carriage. Even then, the journey took several days.
That wasn't an option for me right now. It would be a bit undignified if my slaves asked where their master was going, only for me to reply, “I’m off to see some panties.”
But I couldn't just give up, so I had to find another way. Fortunately, one existed.
The Dream Garden, connected to Rin's room, was also linked to the Celestial Pavilion in Vestia.
By going to the Dream Garden, which served as a midpoint, I could cross the border in an instant. And just like that, I easily arrived at the Celestial Pavilion.
After Rin and Mirabelle came to live with me, there were three key figures left in the Celestial Pavilion.
Yuhwa.
Heukbi.
And Morgana.
It might seem obvious—well, maybe not to some—but I had no interest in Yuhwa. The other two were the ones I was here for.
I headed straight for the leader's office. As luck would have it, Heukbi and Morgana were there together.
“What brings you to the Celestial Pavilion? And all by yourself, too.”
“I came to see you two.”
“You mean us, Master?”
Heukbi was running the Celestial Pavilion as Yuhwa's successor. Thanks to that connection, she maintained a good relationship with the Merchants of Death.
Morgana was practically in exile. As punishment for plotting my assassination, she couldn't take a single step out of this place.
I had taken her with me to the last meeting because it completed the picture, but now she was locked up here again.
“I have a favor to ask of you.”
“A favor, you say?”
“Show me your panties.”
“………What?”
“Show you what?”
“Your panties. Why are you so flustered? Don't tell me you're not wearing any. Is that your thing?”
“Of course I am wearing them!” Heukbi snapped.
Right. Unless you're an exhibitionist, it's normal to wear underwear.
She was just admitting a simple fact, but Heukbi's cheeks flushed red, as if she'd made a fatal misstep.
Morgana, who was more liberal about such things than the prim and proper Heukbi, stared at me in disbelief.
“Are you out of your mind?”
“Of course not. It's a perfectly natural phenomenon for a man to want to see a woman's panties.”
“…That's a sound argument, I'll give you that. But why is it so damn annoying?”
“Nothing wrong with it, right? So hurry up, lift your skirts, and show me your panties.”
“I will do no such thing. I refuse,” Heukbi said, having composed herself.
“Are there not many other slaves besides us? You should ask them.”
“I just came from doing that. My slave mom and the Elf Queen both showed me. Now it's just you two left.”
I’ve already done it.
You can't escape.
“You are my slaves. A master's command takes precedence even over the Mandate of Heaven. And if you refuse, I won't just stand by.”
“And what will you do if we refuse?”
“The fact that you, Heukbi, once killed me. I'll tell all my other slaves.”
Morgana, who lost her arm after ordering my death, was now my slave and trapped here. Heukbi, on the other hand, had a record of actually killing me.
What do you think would happen when my girls found out?
“When they get angry, even I have a hard time controlling them. I can't imagine what kind of ordeal you'll go through.”
“Are you threatening me?”
“Of course not. I'm just worried about you as your master. But I do know this: you'll soon think that showing me your panties was nothing in comparison.”
“And Morgana,” I continued.
“Morgana, I'll let you leave the Celestial Pavilion. Of course, you'll still be my slave.”
I'm not forcing them.
I'm a kind master, after all.
I always give my slaves a choice.
Show me your panties? Or suffer something worse than divine punishment?
The choice is yours.
“Well, it's not like I'm thrilled about it, but if that's all it takes to get out of here, I'll do it,” Morgana said.
“What? How can you accept such a thing? Do you have no pride as a woman?”
“Then don't do it. Though I bet you'll regret it soon enough.”
Morgana shot Heukbi a scornful look and stepped forward.
“I'll do it. She says she won't.”
“I see. Then I'll assume it's just Morgana. As for Heukbi... what a shame.”
“W-Wait a moment!”
Just as I was about to express my regrets and leave, Heukbi urgently grabbed me.
I barely managed to suppress a laugh.
“Is something wrong?”
“I'll… I'll show you, alright!”
“Hmm, I don't really have a hobby of looking at things people don't want to show me. And I don't like forcing people, either.”
“Huh?”
“I need to be sure that I'm not forcing you, that this is of your own free will, Heukbi. Only then will I look.”
You should have just done it when I asked the first time. Why play hard to get and make things worse for yourself?
Heukbi glared at me, grinding her teeth as if she wanted to kill me. For a long moment, her lips trembled as she debated whether to speak, before she finally opened her mouth.
“Please… would you do me the honor of looking at my undergarments?”
“If you ask so nicely, how can a master refuse? Very well. Since you want to show me, I'll make a special exception and look. I never knew you had such a preference, Heukbi.”
At my taunt, Heukbi's clenched fist trembled. If not for the slave contract, my head might have just flown off.
“So, should we just show you now?”
“No, it wouldn't be any fun to just do it like this. Shall we change the scenery a bit?”
Morgana grumbled about what could possibly be fun about this. I ignored her and made a request to Heukbi.
“Heukbi, can you use the Mirror World?”
Heukbi, the Dark Fox. Her ability was to reverse fate. In the Mirror World, a unique ability of her Silver Eyes, everything was reversed.
“It is possible. Lady Rin returned my power.”
“Then would you please use your ability?”
“Why?”
“You'll know once you do it.”
Heukbi was skeptical, but fearing she'd suffer even greater humiliation if she resisted like before, she immediately activated her ability.
In the blink of an eye, the three of us were in a space surrounded by infinite mirrors on all sides—above, below, left, and right.
“I have done as you wished.”
“Excellent. Now, show me your panties.”
“H-Here?”
“Yes, here.”
A mystical space, infinitely reflected in mirrors. Our forms, too, were reflected endlessly in every surface.
In other words, here I could see infinite panties!
Heukbi, belatedly realizing why I wanted to be here, had a reaction bordering on a seizure.
“What…! What is this…! You're shameless! Shameless!”
“Don't worry. I'm the only one watching.”
“You being the one watching is the problem!”
“So. Are you saying you won't do it? I'm a busy man, you know?”
“If you're so busy, then don't come here to look at panties…” Morgana muttered with a sigh of resignation, then moved her hands.
Morgana was wearing a skin-tight dress. It was an outfit that clung to her body, boldly revealing her voluptuous figure. Lifting the skirt was impossible.
Morgana raised her long fingernails and drew a line down from her hip. Like a qipao with a high side slit, her thigh was subtly revealed.
After doing that much, she looked at Heukbi.
“Looks like you're going to do it eventually anyway. You might as well do it with me. Won't it be more embarrassing to do it alone? If we do it together, it'll split his attention.”
“Ugh…”
It was certainly a rational argument. Heukbi seemed to think so too, as she reluctantly began the postponed action.
Heukbi's attire was East Asian in style, like Yuhwa's or Rin's. If Rin and Yuhwa wore hanbok, Heukbi's was more like a kimono. It was a single piece.
This meant that to show her underwear, she had to undo the entire garment. She went through the troublesome process of untying the clothes she had so carefully put on.
Then she paused and glanced at me cautiously.
“You will only see the undergarments below.”
I smiled and nodded, and Heukbi finished untying the sash that held her clothes together. She held the opened garment slightly to her sides, looking just like a butterfly spreading its wings.
She used her black tail to cover her body, as if to make sure I saw nothing else.
Morgana, too, pulled back the part of her dress she had cut, as if drawing a curtain.
Morgana's panties were a provocative red garter belt.
Her thigh-high, red fishnet stockings made her flesh bulge like an overfilled apple pie, and the taut garter straps pressed into her skin, emphasizing it further.
Following the straps up revealed a pair of ornate red panties. The kind of underwear that made you dizzy just looking at it.
And then there was Heukbi.
Hers were the complete opposite of Morgana's. They were simple, pure white cotton underwear. No patterns, no decorations. The plainest I had seen so far.
But that's precisely what made the picture so perfect. The Dark Fox's fair skin against the white underwear. She looked like a chaste lady, yet the thin straps accentuated the lines of her hips and groin.
And on top of that, an expression and a whimper that said she was so embarrassed she could die.
And was that all?
“Ooh!”
I dropped flat on the floor.
The ground we were on was also a mirror.
In other words, looking at the mirror below was the same as lying between their legs and looking up!
“Do not lie on the floor!”
Heukbi protested, but it was pointless. If I stood up, I could just see it from a different angle.
The side view, the back view, diagonally, from below!
It was a veritable feast of panties!
Not a Mirror World, but a Panty World!
This is heaven.
Even the nonchalant Morgana couldn't maintain her composure when countless reflections of her own underwear were put on display in the mirrors. A reddish hue appeared on her cheeks.
“You really have… exquisite taste, don't you?”
“This is pretty tame, isn't it? To have all this power and be satisfied with just panties. What a kind master I am, right?”
“Do not refer to undergarments as ‘just’ anything!”
“Then thank you for showing me your magnificent panties. Heukbi's panties are truly magnificent!”
“I hate that even more!”
In any case, thanks to them, I'd recovered from my ennui.
I should come see this whenever I'm bored.
