The Panties
"I'm home..."
"I'm back~"
Even though no one was in the house, the two of them habitually greeted each other upon returning. The date on the way home hadn't been very long. In fact, only Spica had thought of it as a date. To Sihyun, it was simply a walk that happened to end with them heading home together.
Since Sihyun didn't particularly want to stay out long, no matter how hard Spica tried to extend their time together, it had little effect. At best, they had grabbed a light snack. One of the reasons for this was Spica's state of mind. Her head was already completely filled with the desire to see Sihyun's panties.
Even with all her strength, it would have been difficult to change the heart of a homebody like Sihyun. And Spica herself, while she wanted to continue the date, was also filled with the urge to go home early. Since getting the panties outside had failed, she couldn't even bring up the topic unless they went home. The conflicting feelings merged into one the moment they arrived.
Spica could now devote herself entirely to Sihyun's panties.
With the eyes of a hawk, Spica began calculating exactly how to ask for them. Having already failed once, there was no turning back. The excuse born from her misunderstanding could no longer be used now that they were home. If she said, 'I need the panties you just changed out of!' the response would surely be, 'Can't you just take some from your own closet?'
She briefly considered letting today pass and asking next time. But she cast aside that weak thought and decided to press forward bravely. Didn't the old saying go, pull the horn while the iron is hot? Once you start putting things off, you'll keep putting them off forever. Of course, that was also because Spica lacked the patience to hold out until Sihyun forgot about it.
But... but it was Sihyun after all!!
"Sihyun-ssi! I have a request!"
"Hm? What is it?"
"I want Sihyun-ssi's panties!"
"....? My panties?"
"Yes! Not just any panties—I need Sihyun-ssi's panties! Not new ones, but the ones Sihyun-ssi has worn!"
"?????"
If asked why, she had no particular answer prepared. Honest frontal assault! She had even readied herself to convey her sincere desire to borrow them for masturbation. The courage to endure being looked at with contempt, as if she were a pervert!
"Hmm. I see."
It worked!? Spica couldn't hide her surprise. Moreover, Sihyun wasn't looking at her with any hint of disdain. It was the same gentle gaze as always.
"Alright then, shall we go to my room?"
"Y-yes!"
Spica followed Sihyun into his room. The moment the door opened, Sihyun's faint scent wafted into her nose. She usually only entered briefly while cleaning, so it had been a long time since she'd spent this much time in his room. When they made love, it was usually in Spica's room, so there was never time to linger. And cleaning was finished in seconds with magic, leaving no opportunity to look around carefully.
She regretted countless times not holding back on using magic so confidently during those first cleanings. But that regret seemed to end today. Today's naughty business was going to happen in Sihyun-ssi's room! He was granting her the maniacal request to take off the panties he was wearing, and the location was his own room—which wasn't normally used for such acts. As expected, Sihyun-ssi truly understood these things!
However, the direction Sihyun walked was not toward the bed, but the dresser.
—Sliiide.
With a smooth sound, the drawer opened. Inside were neatly folded panties of various colors, packed tightly. Spica knew exactly what was where. Aside from a few of the issued panties she hadn't been able to throw away yet, nearly all of them were ones she herself had chosen. She was the one who washed them, dried them, folded them neatly, and put them away.
Plain panties, striped panties, lace-trimmed panties, thongs, sheer panties that showed the other side, panties that seemed to have no purpose in being worn at all, and so on. There were a few empty spaces toward the far right front. Today's panties must have come from there. Sihyun-ssi always started picking his clothes and underwear from the rightmost side. If Spica didn't arrange them properly, he would casually wear mismatched panties and bras.
"Here you go. Take whatever you want."
"....Ahaha."
"I've heard that women's underwear is used as a talisman in war zones. I don't really believe in that sort of thing, but if it puts your mind at ease, Spica, feel free to take as many as you like!"
"......Ahaha."
"You're a girl too, so it might feel weird to use your own panties as a talisman. Ah, but I'd appreciate it if you avoided the ones in that far corner. Those are limited editions."
The underwear Sihyun pointed to was a collaboration item with a game. Spica remembered how delighted Sihyun had been that, as a woman, she could wear the heroine's underwear from the game. Spica had also been happy when Sihyun showed her the panties. Lacking sex appeal? Even if Sihyun-ssi wore bear-print panties, they would overflow with eroticism!
"Then I'll take these... and the matching bras as well."
"You need bras too? Don't people usually just take panties?"
She had originally planned to take only panties, but after thinking it over, Spica realized it would be wiser to take the bras that wrapped around Sihyun's lewd breasts as well. Since she was receiving them anyway, it was only natural to take both. She kept that thought to herself and made up an excuse.
"If I don't take the bras too, Sihyun-ssi will end up wearing mismatched panties and bras."
"Mismatched is fine, isn't it?"
"....From now on, I won't store panties and bras separately. I'll put matching pairs together."
"Do that. It'll be easier for me too."
Watching Sihyun smile brightly, Spica picked out two sets of panties and bras from the ones that had been worn more frequently. Since she did the laundry, she knew exactly how many times each pair had been used. They were a plain apricot-colored set and a mint-colored set—designs Sihyun found comfortable.
"Thank you, Sihyun-ssi!"
"It's nothing."
Leaving behind Sihyun, who smiled sweetly at her, Spica walked to her own room as naturally as possible. Calmly. Leisurely. Slowly. As if it were no big deal.
Sihyun thought the way Spica hurried back to her room—clearly embarrassed about asking for panties—was adorable.
—Click.
Spica's breath came in heavy gasps. She wasn't sure if it was from tension or from the swelling anticipation of what was about to happen. In her hands were two pairs of panties and bras. She gently placed the mint-colored set on the desk, then climbed onto the bed clutching the apricot-colored set in her right hand.
"Haaah!!"
Spica pressed the bra against her face and took a deep breath. Even Sihyun-ssi's bras were dainty and cute. A familiar scent rose from it. It was a fragrant, soft floral aroma.
".....That's just the smell of fabric softener...."
There wasn't even a trace of Sihyun-ssi's own scent. It smelled exactly like her own underwear. That was only natural since they used the same fabric softener.
She wrapped her cock in the panties and rubbed it against them.
"......"
It was cloth, so there was more stimulation than with her hand, but it didn't feel overwhelmingly good. Just in case, she switched the fabric wrapping her cock to the bra instead. With nowhere else to put the panties, she tried wearing them on her head.
".....This isn't it."
The lining was soft and fluffy, giving a fresher sensation than before, but it still wasn't any better.
"......Hmm."
After thinking it over, it was obvious. Underwear that had been washed perfectly no longer carried Sihyun-ssi's body heat or scent. It was just clothing. Some people might still find that erotic, but Spica wasn't so starved that she could get off merely on the knowledge that Sihyun-ssi had worn them. The whole idea of masturbating with underwear had been to reduce the burden on Sihyun-ssi. If she asked, Sihyun would happily engage in lewd acts with her anytime.
Besides, Spica realized she had missed an important condition. The panties she had received this way didn't satisfy the requirement of 'giving me your panties is basically the same as permitting sex or lewd acts!' These panties on her head hadn't been permitted for use in masturbation. They were a talisman given to protect her, since she faced danger every time she deployed as a magical girl. Using such panties to satisfy her own desires filled her with creeping guilt.
That's right. Let's be honest. She should have honestly asked Sihyun-ssi for the panties and bra he was currently wearing, specifically for masturbation. Trying to deceive Sihyun-ssi just to get what she wanted had been far too greedy. Even if Sihyun-ssi ended up looking at her like she was wet garbage, it would be worth enduring. And she would use these panties as the talisman they were meant to be. With this talisman that carried Sihyun-ssi's feelings, she felt like she could overcome anything.
Spica carefully removed the panties from her head and the bra wrapped around her cock, then stored them away with magic. Returning them was, of course, not an option.
Spica had finished explaining everything. She had told him from beginning to end. Fortunately, Sihyun wasn't looking at her with contempt. Instead, his gaze was one of pity.
"So, to summarize."
"Yes."
"Spica's twisted sexual desires have reared their head again?"
"No, that's not... it's for Sihyun-ssi's sake...."
"Isn't it?"
".......Now that I think about it, that does seem correct."
"Hmm...."
Kneeling before the pondering Sihyun, Spica was filled with regret. The courage she had felt just moments ago had completely vanished. Now that she had come to her senses, it increasingly felt like she had simply wanted to do something lewd. Come to think of it, even if giving panties for lewd acts didn't tire the body, it was still mentally exhausting, wasn't it? Her guilt was stronger than before. She almost wished he would look at her like she was garbage. (Definitely not because that would be thrilling.)
"Spica."
"Yes!? Please say anything, Sihyun-ssi!"
Spica lifted her head at the sound of Sihyun's voice. Looking up at him reclining on the sofa, she could see his panties directly under his skirt. She quickly lowered her head again, but a magical girl's dynamic vision clearly captured the underwear wrapping Sihyun's precious place beneath the dark skirt. Today's panties were a slightly sheer purple pair with lace. They were quite lewd—something he rarely wore. It was a lucky day.
"Lift your head, Spica."
"B-but if I lift my head, I'll see your panties...."
"You see my panties all the time, so what? Besides."
"Yes!"
When Spica raised her head, she saw Sihyun lounging comfortably on the sofa, chin resting on his hand as he looked down at her. He wore a confident, seductive smile full of composure. The way his crossed legs emphasized their beautiful lines made the sight unbearably erotic. Just looking at him was enough to make Spica's cock harden completely.
"Wouldn't it be better to take them directly?"
".....Gulp..."
With trembling hands, Spica reached toward Sihyun's legs. Both hands slipped under his skirt and moved to his hips. Though nervous, her hands remembered the motion and smoothly removed the panties without issue.
"Haa... haa... haa..."
Under the light, Sihyun's panties were fully revealed. The pair he had just taken off still carried his body heat.
"Huk.."
Now that she thought about it, removing the panties meant Sihyun-ssi was currently going commando...?! Spica unconsciously looked up in surprise, but Sihyun had already crossed his legs again, hiding his precious place from view. Noticing her gaze, Sihyun chuckled softly and stood up. He approached the frozen Spica, leaned close to her ear, and whispered.
Spica dashed desperately to her room, clutching Sihyun's panties. She wrapped her skirt around her throbbing cock to keep any leaking semen from dripping.
