Epilogue
Many years had passed between that day and the current spring day. Keiki was wearing a white tuxedo he wasn't used to as he opened the door to the room his lover was waiting in.
"—Ah, it's Nii-san."
In the center of the luxurious room sat the bride, looking at Keiki with a gentle smile. She was wearing a beautiful snow-white wedding dress. It was a shoulder strap-free type, revealing her beautiful shoulders and cleavage, which suited her slender but still well-developed figure. Her skirt was short as well, which called great attention to her dazzling and slim legs. Entranced by this sight, Keiki looked up at the girl as she stood up from her chair.
"I put the dress on… how does it look?"
"So good I can't say anything but that it's beautiful."
"Ehehe, thanks." The bride smiled adorably.
She had always been beautiful back in high school, but in the few years that had passed, she had grown even more alluring. It's not like she had grown taller, or that her three sizes had changed, but it was more that the atmosphere around her that felt more mature. She had slightly longer hair as well, and had generally refined her looks rather than changing drastically. Of course, this made Keiki want to scream to the entire world that she would become his wife.
"Is everybody here already?" Mizuha asked.
"Yeah, I just talked with the guys. Shouma and Koharu-senpai are still the same. Rintarou seems to still be chasing after Nagase-san."
"Mitani-kun even went to the same university as her."
"And this is where the new information comes in. Apparently, Nagase-san finally gave in and agreed to a date with him."
"Really? Mitani-kun must have worked really hard."
"I think it's only a matter of time until they start dating."
Considering Airi's personality, she would never agree to a date if she really hated it. And Keiki knew all too well how weak Airi was to pushy people. As Rintarou changed his ways, grew a lot more, and started deeply caring for Airi, he basically had become a handsome catch on the level of Shouma. Airi was even more of a beauty, so the two of them were a good match for each other.
"I'm glad Mao-chan managed to come despite being so busy."
"Nanjou's a top-selling mangaka now after all."
"Yuika-chan's picture book even won a prize a while back, and Tokihara-senpai managed to achieve a break as the 'Too Beautiful Calligraphist'."
"Well online, she's still called 'Too Busty Calligraphist'."
Meanwhile, while Mizuha was a university student, she won a prize for a romance novel she wrote, whose characters were based on herself and her older brother. Her impressive vocabulary and prose made her perfect as an author, and Keiki knew that. After graduating, they were both still living in the same house, and she was working on her series that had amassed a fair number of fans. Keiki himself had started working at an average company, enjoying both work and private life equally. Every day when he came home, his beautiful lover was waiting with a delicious dinner, so naturally he could work hard all day long. Even more so since they would soon graduate from simply being lovers, taking the next step to become life partners and tying the knot.
"I'm glad that everybody from the calligraphy club and student council could make it."
"Yeah, you're right."
Outside of those two groups, Asahi, Yuuhi, Megumi, and Naoya had managed to make it. Of course, the same goes for their own parents.
"Also, I think you can finally stop calling me Nii-san, Mizuha."
"But calling you anything else would just feel weird now."
"I get it, really. I like how you call me Nii-san. I really do, but it just doesn't feel fresh anymore. Not to mention that our surname won't change even after the marriage."
"I do like our name 'Kiryuu', though."
That's what happens when you marry your step-sister. Putting the name in the family register felt weird, to say the least.
"But that'll change soon enough."
"What do you mean?"
"Eventually, I might have to call you Papa instead."
"D-Do you mean… Mizuha-san, are you?!"
"Well, not yet."
"Seriously?"
Keiki thought that they had created something new.
"But since we graduated from university, I'm starting to feel like wanting one."
"I-I will do my best!"
He wanted children right away, and to have them and his wife call him Papa.
"But before that, there is something else I need your hard work with, Nii-san."
"Huh, what do you mean?"
"I want you to help your bride put on her panties."
"…Excuse me?"
"Mizuha-san is not wearing any panties right now."
"Are you kidding me?!"
"Sadly, that is the truth."
Mizuha took out a pair of white panties. Of course, they were different from Cinderella's panties, but still charming and pretty in their own right. That aside, however, it seemed to be true that she was indeed going full commando.
"Huh? Why? Didn't the staff help you with the wedding dress? Wouldn't they have found out if you weren't wearing any?"
"Yep, that's why I took them off after putting in the dress."
"Why would you do that?!"
That made no sense whatsoever. Why did she go and—?
"You know, I just want to make Nii-san's heart race. I want you to only think about me, and with this, you definitely won't forget about today, right?"
"…What a crazy bride I got myself."
Keiki muttered an idle complaint, but was unable to deny the girl and her charming but also teasing smile. The one who falls in love loses. At the point in time he developed feelings for a perverted exibitionist, it was all over for him already.
"You really like having me put on your panties for you, huh?"
"I love it."
"You damn pervert…"
There was something Keiki always thought about. For the longest time, Mizuha had kept her feelings hidden. That's why she wanted to be seen the way she was, which then became her fetish as an exibitionist. The reason apparently was back when she forgot a change of underwear when she went to the pool in grade school, but that was only one instance out of many, and the bigger one was most likely 'I want the member of the opposite sex I care for to only look at me'.
She fell in love with her older brother, yet was unable to confess her feelings. Unable to suppress these feelings, and her desire for him to look at her, she became an exibitionist. That might be one explanation.
"…Nah, I guess she was just born with it."
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing at all. I was just thinking how perverted a married couple we must be to do this right before our wedding ceremony."
This made Keiki's heart race in a lot of ways. There was no guarantee that they wouldn't be interrupted by the staff or their parents. Just to make sure, Keiki locked the door.
"Oh yeah, the first time I put your panties on for you was back in our second year in high school, right?"
Keiki still hasn't forgotten everything that had happened in that summer. When Keiki urged the girl to properly wear panties to school, she told him to put them on himself, and he was wrapped up in this terrorist act done by a pervert.
"We were in a public park back then, right? Thinking back on it, we really did some crazy things back then…"
"And right now, too. If somebody saw us, we'd be done for."
"Then why are you making me do this?"
"If you don't put them on right now, your bride will attend the ceremony without wearing any, right?"
"That… would be bad."
Even if God allowed it, Keiki the groom wouldn't.
"Wait, is that why you're wearing a short dress?"
"It's the exact opposite. I could do this kind of thing because the dress is so short."
"I see. I shouldn't have asked."
Either way, it looked great on her, so Keiki had no room to complain.
"Then, dear prince, will you put these panties on me?"
"I don't like this one bit, but with pleasure."
"Then please do." Mizuha handed him the panties.
Even that way of phrasing things was so adorable that Keiki found himself able to laugh about this whole situation. Since the door was locked, he accepted the panties, fully prepared. He crouched down in front of the girl, like a prince about to be crowned.
Touching the bare and unprotected legs of his bride, the prince put the snow-white panties on her, this love, just as the prince in the story did with the glass shoe.
