For shopping, it was decided that we would go to the shopping mall in the suburbs.
Because it’s convenient and has everything in one place, it is often the only place that we go when shopping as a family.
It takes around 30 minutes to get there while driving in my mom’s minivan.
『Waa… So this is a car!』
Alicia was super excited as it was her first time riding in a car.
『Amazing… It’s so fast! It’s also quiet and doesn’t shake! It’s wonderful! Ah, what is that!?』
Like traveling with an elementary school student, the Alicia who is interested in everything outside is heartwarming to watch.
Usually Yuna would sit in the front passenger seat while I would sit in the back, however, it seems she took Alicia’s excitement into consideration and had let me sit in the front seat.
… When I had gone to get into the back seat like normal, Yuna pointed to the passenger seat with a cold hearted gaze.
「We will call you Alicia when we are in the shops.」
My mom declared from the driver’s seat.
It’s a reasonable idea as, with how I currently look, it would be conspicuous if I was called 「onii-chan」 or 「Ikutari」 while in public.
『… This, this is the shopping area? For the entire area around here to be a market… Even the Kingdom’s central market isn’t at this scale. Amazing…!』
It seems that the familiar shopping mall was considerably shocking to Alicia.
We parked the car in the outdoor parking lot and went inside.
Apart from the actual shopping, I quite like shopping malls.
The reason being that they have many interesting places like game and book stores along with many Japanese restaurants that I would love to eat at after being away for so long.
I started to move around quickly, but was stopped by Yuna.
「Hey, Alicia. Don’t move around with such long strides… Your underwear will be visible.」
Panicking at Yuna’s words, I press my skirt down from behind.
The skirt that I had put on today was only at the length where it barely hid my underwear. If I walked how I normally would I would be exposing my underwear.
「Try to walk as if you’re holding something between your thighs. That way, you will naturally learn the feminine way of walking.」
I try walking the way my mom advised.
… It’s very hard to walk like this.
「… Haa, why did you guys make me wear a skirt.」
I sighed as I let out the complaint.
「Well, because I thought it was cute.」
Along with Yuna’s quip, my mom adds more.
「Of course it is, but it’s also important to be aware that you are being watched. Someone as cute as Alicia will gather people’s eyes naturally. Therefore, it is important that your appearance isn’t shameful.」
Certainly, I understand what mom is telling me.
After I gained this body, I was always watched wherever I went. It was totally different from when I was a man and no one really cared.
「You can’t get careless when wearing a skirt, right? So that tension will allow you to naturally acquire girlish mannerisms.」
I don’t particularly want to acquire girlish mannerisms… I continue walking while affirming my decision that I will buy pants.
「… Is this okay, I’m not showing my underwear?」
I ask Yuna.
I don’t want to show Alicia’s panties to strangers. Besides, I would feel sorry for Alicia if people were able to see it.
「It’s good, if you don’t get careless it’ll be fine… Good luck Alicia.」
The surrounding gazes I feel are painful. I want to think it’s because of my appearance that they’re looking at me, and not because of me accidentally showing my underwear.
「Well then, let’s go and buy some underwear first.」
「Eh…」
The first place I was brought to was a shelf full of undergarments. It was not a specialty store, but rather, it was in the clothing section of the supermarket we entered when entering the mall.
Brightly colored female underwear is lined up in front of my eyes.
To your average high school boy it was poisonous to look at, and I had trouble looking directly at them.
「… What are you shy about.」
Yuna talks in a tone of voice that makes fun of me.
「Even if you say such a thing…」
I timidly looked at the underwear in front of me. They were simple and cute, but looking at them made me feel a sense of guilt, like I was looking at something I shouldn’t.
『All of this is underwear… This world keeps surprising me…』
Alicia could not hide her surprise at the colorful underwear.
「Well then, let’s ask the clerk to measure your sizes.」
That being said, Yuna called over the clerk. It was an young lady.
「Hey…」
I moved to the fitting room like I was told. I felt uncomfortable being alone with the woman in the fitting room.
「Ojou-san… Can you speak Japanese?」
「Japanese is fine!」
I stuttered for a second.
「Is this your first time buying a bra?」
「Y, yes!」
The woman laughed as she saw my state.
「It’s okay, you don’t have to be so nervous. Leave everything to me.」
It was for a different reason that I felt nervous. I was alone in a small space with a beautiful woman. Something smells really nice… is it perfume?
「Well then, take off your top?」
「Y, yes…!」
I need to calm down, there is nothing strange about this.
I take off the pink jacket and hang it on the hanger. I then try to unbutton the blouse… It isn’t easy to remove like menswear was.
「We can measure it over top of the blouse.」
I was told that and hurriedly stopped my hands.
「Well then, I’ll measure it.」
The woman moved her hands with the measuring tape around my back. I stiffened my body and wait. Besides the perfume, I can smell her shampoo and it makes my head spin.
Although I was told the measurement several times it didn’t stick in my head… However, because Yuna, who had peeped her face through the curtain, heard it, it will probably be okay.
『… Mou, Ikuto-san. Your nose is growing too long.』
The size I was told was the first letter of the alphabet.
It was a very modest size.
… I am looking forward to the future, yeah.
By the way, when I asked Yuna about her size it was the fourth letter… You’ve grown splendidly, imouto.
After that, it was just a matter of choosing which style, during which it went back and forth between Yuna and Mom. As they were chosen by those two, I was meant to be trying them on in the fitting room… But, I messed up at the start.
I don’t actually know how to wear a bra.
While I was hesitating, Yuna entered the fitting room and taught me how to take it off and on. Yuna taught me seriously without teasing me, but I felt like my dignity as an older brother was lost.
Once I finished changing, I looked at myself in the mirror. There was the figure of Alicia, with a simple white bra decorated with some lace. I was surprised at how adult it looked.
If it was combined with a matching set of panties, the impression would be even stronger.
『… This, the underwear of this world. It’s beautiful…』
「Isn’t it! I’ll bring you more in your size.」
After that, Yuna and mom kept bringing me stuff to try on and eventually settled with 3 sets.
Then, for everyday use, I bought several pairs of bras and sports bras, 3 sets of panties, and camisoles and socks that matched them.
Even though it can’t be helped because we’re starting from scratch, the amount we bought was massive. I felt bad after seeing the amount of money displayed at the checkout.
Next, we went to buy clothes. Because I had a few hand me downs from Yuna, I thought that I would only be buying some T-shirts and pants, but it seemed that Yuna and mom had different ideas.
As a result, I was dragged from one store to the next for hours while being used as a dress-up doll.
Although Alicia seemed happy, I just wanted it to be over as soon as possible.
If I’m honest about the price tag, it came out to a scary amount.
I was just glad that I managed to buy a T-shirt and pants for everyday use… Even though the other two were extremely reluctant.
Finally we went to a shoe store and bought sneakers and loafers along with a pair of sandals, before the shopping finally came to an end.
… I’m tired.
