On a holiday, after a late breakfast, I changed into outing clothes in my room. With the weather cooling, I swapped to warmer attire: khaki clothes and a navy jacket.
Looks good. Wallet's full enough.
Knock knock knock.
"Yeah?" I answered.
Miu entered. "I'm ready, big brother. You?"
"Done. Where's Alice?"
"Haven't seen her. Probably in her room."
"Still prepping? I'll check. Wait at the entrance."
"Okay," Miu nodded, heading out.
I went to Alice's fifth-floor room. She's taking forever—what's she doing?
Knocking, I called, "Alice, you ready?"
No answer. I tried again—nothing.
Not here? "Alice, I'm coming in."
Opening the door, I saw Alice in her underwear, grabbing her sides and chest, muttering, "From the stomach… to the back… push the flesh…"
So focused, she didn't notice me.
"Push… lift… yes!" She grinned, squeezing her chest.
I got it. She's trying to boost her chest by gathering flesh. It's slightly bigger—barely. Her toned body has little excess fat, so it's futile. Yet she's thrilled.
Tears welled up. "You're really trying…"
"Eh!?" Alice spun around.
Crap, I spoke aloud.
She covered herself, backing away. "W-Why are you here!? Did you… see!?"
"You weren't coming, so I checked… Yeah, sorry, I saw."
"What!?" Her face turned red, steam practically rising. Lightning crackled, her blonde hair turning white, trembling with rage. "Issei… any last words?"
Clasping my hands, I said, "Small breasts are fine! Your beautiful body's a feast for the eyes!"
BOOM! Her thunder punch hit my face.
"Ow ow ow… Is my head okay? Not cracked? Bleeding?" I groaned, clutching my throbbing head at the entrance.
Alice's punch was sharp.
"You okay? But you shouldn't barge into a girl's room," Miu said.
"I knocked… Should've sent you instead."
Too late. That hit was brutal—put a hole in the wall. Miu fixed it, thankfully.
Can't blame Alice; I saw something private. She mentioned breast massages, but this? Her slender body's great as is.
"Sorry for the wait," Alice said, descending the stairs in a white sweater and green skirt, bought with Mom. She pulled it off well.
"How's it look?" she asked, blushing.
Thumbs-up. "Super cute!"
Cheap clothes, but she makes them look high-end. Like Rias and Akeno—beauty elevates anything.
"We're ready. Let's go," I said.
Today's a date with Miu and Alice, doubling as showing Alice around. Others are out: Rias and Akeno shopping, the church trio at church, Koneko and Reyna on a sweets tour. Rossweisse? At the new 100-yen store, hyped up. Such a waste for a beauty.
Gonna make sure Miu and Alice have fun!
A few hours later, after hitting the arcade and shops, we were at a department store's clothing section. Alice needs more outfits—she's still short on clothes. Girls wanna look stylish, right?
Miu held clothes against Alice. "These might suit you. Maybe this too?"
"I'm new here, so I'm not sure. Clothes here feel different," Alice said, troubled.
Miu smiled. "I was like that at first. It's normal. Issei, what do you think?"
Both looked good. "Try them on. You'll know once you wear them."
"Good idea. Let's hit the fitting room," Miu said, leading Alice.
I stopped her. "Miu, get something you like too."
"Really?"
"We're here. Tell me what you want."
My devil jobs and Oppai Dragon earnings fill my account. First time I saw my balance, my eyes popped—enough to buy a house. A few outfits? No problem.
"Won't it be wasteful? It's for Alice…" Miu hesitated.
"You barely buy anything besides manga. Indulge a bit."
Miu rarely asks for stuff. "Okay, I'll take you up on it," she said, grabbing clothes and joining Alice.
Their mini fashion show began—cute, mature, bold styles. With shop assistants' advice, they tried tons. "How's this?" Alice asked.
"Looks great," I replied.
"Add accessories," the assistant suggested.
An hour later, they picked a few outfits and accessories.
Next stop: lingerie store.
"Uh… do I need to be here? I can wait outside and pay when you're done," I said.
Why's a guy like me in here, near the fitting rooms? Couples are around, but Miu and Alice draw eyes, and I'm caught in the crossfire.
"You should pick what you like," Miu said.
Alice nodded shyly. "Since you're buying… for that moment… I want you to choose."
Seriously? Alice is getting bolder. Living with our bold girls rubbing off? First cuddling, now this?
Trouble's possible, so I'll stay. Plus, their words leave me no choice. "Fine, I'll wait here."
They grabbed lingerie and entered the fitting room. I sat, sighing. Didn't expect lingerie shopping.
That moment… like with Miu? She wasn't wearing underwear under her yukata—intense memory.
Stop! I'll get a nosebleed.
Minutes later, Miu peeked out. "Big brother."
"What's up?"
She beckoned. Suspicious, I approached.
Grab. Pull. "Whoa!?"
Yanked into the fitting room, I faced Miu and Alice in lingerie.
This is bad! Guys in fitting rooms? Socially done if caught!
"Keep it down!" I whispered. "We'll get in trouble!"
"You said you wanted us to choose for you," Miu said.
"I want you to really look," Alice added, embarrassed.
Guh! Alice is too bold today! What's with her?
Calm down. Deep breaths. I turned away, breathed, then faced them. Miu in cute pink lingerie, Alice in mature green with floral embroidery.
"How's it look? I'm embarrassed, so answer quick," Alice said.
"Both look great! Super cute!" I replied instantly. Honest truth.
Alice sighed in relief. Miu winked at her. "Told you it'd be fine."
"It's still embarrassing… Aren't you shy, Miu?"
"Not with big brother. You showed him because it's him, right?"
"Y-Yeah…" Alice teared up, Miu grinning.
Gotta get out before we're caught. As I reached for the door, Miu grabbed me. "Wait. We have more to show."
"Huh?"
They held more lingerie. "Stay and look," Miu said.
"I'm in this far, so you're staying," Alice added.
Their live fashion show continued, and I ended up with a nosebleed.
"Running low on blood…" I groaned, heading home after shopping. The lingerie store drained me—literal blood loss. Anemia city.
"Today was fun," Miu said.
"Yeah… embarrassing, but really fun," Alice added.
We hit a café, pet shop, and bowling—where Alice smashed the pins. Panicked then, but if they enjoyed it, I'm good. Stimulating, but fun.
"Thanks, Issei," Alice said.
"Let's hit another town next. Lots of fun spots," I replied.
"Sounds good."
As we talked, Miu slipped behind Alice and pushed her into me, making it look like a hug. "Miu!?" Alice yelped.
Miu grinned. "Alice gets your right arm. I'll take—" She hugged my left. "—the left♪"
I laughed. "Got it."
"It's a date, so it's fine, right?" Miu said.
"Sure. Alice cool with it?"
"Fine… Escort a princess properly," she teased.
"Former princess. Got it. Home, Your Highness?"
"Yes, brave hero."
Arms linked, we smiled.
What a peaceful day. Nice for a change.
"Issei?" Rias's voice.
Turning, I saw Rias, Akeno, the church trio, Koneko, and Reyna—everyone, together.
"Why're you all here?" I asked.
"We met at the corner, heading home," Asia said. "You're… with Miu and Alice, arm-in-arm!"
"A three-person date!?" Akeno gasped.
"Ehhh!?" they chorused.
"That's unfair! We want to date Issei too!" Irina said.
"You should've invited us!" Akeno added.
"Issei-san, date me next!" Asia pleaded.
"There's tonight!" Xenovia said.
"A night date? So bold!" Irina exclaimed.
"Issei-senpai, let's eat out tomorrow," Koneko said.
"Again? I'm in!" Reyna added.
They swarmed me. "Hold on! Calm down! Too loud!"
"Turned into our usual chaos," Miu sighed.
"What now, Issei?" Alice asked.
"What do you mean, what!?"
Help!
"Everyone, what's this?" Rossweisse appeared, arms full of 100-yen store bags.
"Heading home, but… chaos. Those bags?" I asked.
"100-yen store finds! All this for 100 yen! Isn't it amazing? So cheap!" she beamed.
She had the most peaceful day.
Wrote Issei's (somewhat) peaceful day. Next, a new chapter!
