Chapter 12: I thought you didn’t know

“Is this okay? It doesn’t seem obvious, but.”

I was getting more and more anxious, so I kept talking to myself.

Walking around the streets without underwear.

Of course, I was properly dressed in everything except underwear, but the mere fact that I didn’t have underwear was quite embarrassing.

“Uumm… It’ll be okay, right?”

I looked down.

My breasts, protruding through the open front of my padding jacket, were showing themselves off.

Thanks to the preparations I made, it wasn’t obvious that I wasn’t wearing underwear, but I was anxiously worried that it would be found out.

The band-aids might fall off, you know.

I wanted to close the front of my padding jacket if I could, but

“Hhh… …Haa, I can’t.”

It wouldn’t close.

I was quite skinny even when I was a man, so there wasn’t a big change in my size except for my height before or after becoming a woman.

But unlike when I was a man, a large chest had suddenly appeared on my upper body, so there was no way the size of the clothes I used to wear would fit.

I tried to zip it up again, but it got caught on my chest and I couldn’t raise it any further.

If I tried to close it forcibly, the clothes would definitely be ruined.

I didn’t have the money to buy new winter clothes, so I gave up quietly.

However, should I say it was thanks to that?

The underwear on the bottom was what I wore when I was a man, but I wasn’t too embarrassed.

A woman wearing men’s underwear is a strange woman, but a woman not wearing underwear is just a slut.

Compared to a slut, a strange woman was just bearable.

…

Underwear

Let’s buy it as soon as possible.

I reconfirmed my destination on my phone and quickened my pace as much as my reduced stride allowed.

I still had a long way to go.

“Let’s see, there’s a bank there, so I’ll cross the crosswalk in front… Aiku.”

As I walked comparing the map with the actual scenery, I couldn’t avoid the person walking in front of me and bumped into their shoulder.

Whether it was because I had become a woman, my body bounced back more than I thought even with a light collision.

I was small even when I was a man, but I didn’t bounce back from just a slight bump.

Feeling bitter, I apologized to the person I bumped into.

“I’m sorry, excuse me.”

“Aish, watch whe… oooh?”

The other person’s irritable expression suddenly changed.

Embarrassment, followed by shyness.

“I’m sorry. I don’t know the area well.”

“Ah? Uh… yeah, I’m sorry too.”

The other person, who had been staring at me, apologized to me instead, as if the irritable reaction from before was a lie.

Nod.

When I nodded, the other person nodded back and left.

“Wow… Awesome…”

What was awesome?

I heard the man who bumped into me muttering as he left.

With a question in mind, I started walking again.

Three blocks, two crosswalks.

And three traffic lights.

As I stood in front of the crosswalk waiting for the light to change, I realized what the man I had bumped into earlier meant.

People passing by, pedestrians waiting for the light together.

There were many people who weren’t interested in me at all, but the number of people who glanced at me wasn’t small either.

I see.

The face was the reason.

When I thought about it, my body was created according to the tastes of a divine being, so it must be quite beautiful.

I don’t feel much emotion because this is my body, but it seems that it’s not the same for other people.

The reason that makes you hesitate whether you should get angry or not.

I suddenly felt like I had gained a cheat code in life.

Along with the slightly arrogant thought that I could do anything with this much beauty.

The green light on the traffic light turned on.

As I took a step to cross the crosswalk, gazes were fixed on me from all directions.

Is this the life of a beauty!

As my shoulders kept rising, I heard the voices of people passing by on the crosswalk in my ears.

“Wow, what was that just now. Did you see it?”

“I saw it, what the hell, that’s awesome.”

This is a beauty.

This is the reason.

I already feel like life has become easier.

Just as I was about to cross the crosswalk while having happy thoughts, I saw two women running towards the crosswalk in the distance.

I turned my gaze to check the traffic light and saw that there were only about 5 seconds left.

It was a time that made it difficult to cross, and seeing the runners gradually slowing down, it seemed that they had the same thought as me.

While looking at a common everyday scene, I happened to make eye contact with one of the two women.

Ah.

I turned my head, worried that I would get caught up in an unnecessary fight.

The woman’s expression that I had seen something I shouldn’t have also contributed to making me turn my head.

Huh?

Why?

Suddenly, I had a question and turned my gaze back to the women.

When I turned my gaze, I saw the two people still looking at me.

One person was staring at me with a disgusted expression, and the other person was whispering to the person next to her with a serious expression.

What reason would there be to make such an expression?

I’ve heard stories of pretty women being envied by other women, but I didn’t feel any jealousy in the eyes of the two people.

But

Then why?

Feeling uneasy, I went into a nearby convenience store.

“Welcome~”

A female employee greeted me happily.

But it’s not like I came in to buy something

“Excuse me, can I borrow your bathroom?”

“Yes? Ah. Aah~ Ah, aah. Just a moment?”

As if she understood something, the employee understood something on her own and explained the location of the bathroom to me.

“If you go out and go to the right, there’s a door, you can use it there.”

“Thank you, I’ll be excused.”

I headed to the bathroom according to the employee’s instructions.

It was a small bathroom with only a sink and a toilet, but it was enough.

Worried that someone might come in, I locked the bathroom door and stood in front of the sink mirror and lifted up my T-shirt.

Then my bare breasts were exposed nakedly.

“…The band-aids are on well?”

The band-aids were faithfully playing the role of covering the nipples.

I wondered if the band-aids had fallen off and it was obvious that I wasn’t wearing underwear, but it didn’t seem to be the case.

Then why on earth?

I left the bathroom after only washing my hands without solving my question.

I went back to the convenience store and picked out a banana milk and put it on the counter.

“Yes~ It’s 1,200 won. Please insert your card~”

I took out my wallet from my pocket and chose a card.

“Can I have a straw?”

After inserting the card into the card reader, I asked the employee for a straw.

But the employee’s expression was strange.

It was an expression as if to say, “Why?”

“Um.”

“Yes, yes?”

“Is there something on my face?”

When I asked the employee a common question, the employee had a troubled expression.

“No, it’s not that…”

“Is there another problem?”

“No, that’s…”

There was no one but me and the employee, but the employee gestured for me to bring my ear closer, as if she was worried that someone else might hear it.

Following the employee’s gesture, I brought my ear closer, and the employee whispered.

“By any chance… are you not wearing a bra right now?”

“?!”

What

The band-aids were still on fine?

How did she know?

How on earth?

It seemed that everything was showing on my face.

The employee was sure that I wasn’t wearing a bra, so she spoke to me on the premise that I wasn’t wearing a bra.

“The clothes you’re wearing inside are very thin right now… so your chest line is all clearly visible, you know?”

“Yes? No?? Is it, is it all that obvious?”

“It would be different if it was thick clothes… and even your breasts are very big, so it’s even more obvious because they shake so much.”

“I thought the reason you borrowed the bathroom was because of the underwear.”

Hearing those words from the employee, I was suddenly filled with shame.

Was it that obvious?

But I thought it would be okay because I covered my nipples well?

“I thought I covered my nipples well, but why…?”

“Come to think of it, that’s true. Don’t tell me you only put on nipple patches?”

“…What’s a nipple patch?”

“It’s nothing, it’s okay if you don’t know. But why aren’t you wearing underwear?”

I felt heat rising to my head.

I was probably almost tomato-like now.

“Um… I don’t have underwear to wear, so I’m on my way to buy it…”

“You don’t have underwear to wear?? No, why on earth?”

“That’s…”

Even I thought it didn’t make sense.

If a maiden who has eaten enough age to be considered an adult said that she was going to buy underwear without wearing a bra because she didn’t have underwear, I would be dumbfounded even if I were me.

When I couldn’t continue speaking, the employee handed me the straw and said.

“Um… be careful. It’s easy to be misunderstood, you know.”

“Thank you…”

I took the straw and grabbed my card and banana milk.

“Um, excuse me, can I ask you one more thing…?”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

Relying on the employee’s kindness, I asked about the truth that I didn’t want to believe.

“I’ve been walking around outside like this for quite a while… did they notice?”

“Um… Well, I think all the women noticed if they saw you.”

The employee hesitated for a moment and then spoke to me with difficulty.

“The men… Even if they didn’t know you weren’t wearing a bra, wouldn’t they have been staring at you a lot? Because they must have been shaking a lot.”

Hearing the employee’s words, the events of today flashed through my head.

“Aish, watch whe… oooh?”

“Wow… Awesome…”

“Wow, what was that just now. Did you see it?”

“I saw it, what the hell, that’s awesome.”

That’s

Not because I’m pretty, not because I’m a beauty

Because of the breasts that I’ve been shaking around like a cow

Everyone was looking at

“Uwaaaaaaang!!!”

Unable to endure the embarrassment, I ran out of the convenience store.

With both arms wrapped around my chest

So that my breasts wouldn’t shake.
