Ahh.
I see, so it's my fault.
The cause of this was because I showed them the [Divine Artifact] some time ago.
"That's different. It's not like I regard panties as something taking the place of God. That particular one was worn by someone who I deify. In other words, it's sacred cloth."
I love panties.
But, this and that are different.
"That's why, I ask that you don't do this again."
"I understand nya."
"We'll be careful nano."
And then, I suddenly added.
"If you really wanted to give me underwear, it'd be better if you actually took them off in front of me."
"Eh?"
"Eh?"
Crap, my tongue slipped.
Rinia and Pursena were grinning.
"So you really did fall in love with us nya"
"It can't be helped. Boss is a male beast, he can't be calm when we're around nano."
Tch, shut up.
That reaction saying that I want panties.
These guys, maybe they like me...?
No, that's wrong.
It's something different.
It must certainly be something like goodwill.
Different than Sylphy getting close to me.
Even though I say that, I don't understand the difference.
Since I don't understand, I'll just chalk it up as a sign of friendship.
In any case, we finished talking.
We moved away from the back of the school.
Although some gossip as a result of this incident damaged my reputation a bit.
Well, it's not like it's a big problem.
I'm the type that doesn't particularly care about rumors.
When the three of us left, we saw a group lined up outside of the school building.
It's the freshmen.
They're probably lined up to retrieve their panties.
We went around them so they wouldn't notice us..
Walking past the end of the line was Norn.
"...!"
Norn looked at me, then at Rinia and Pursena beside me.
Then, with an expression like [I don't believe this!], glared at me with all her might as she passed by.
"What's with that first year, acting so mighty nya."
"Fakku nano. Let's show her that she needs to respect her elders."
"I'll say this right now, that was my sister."
Just when I said that.
Both their ears drooped.
"W, well, it's good that she's energetic nya."
"She's quite cute nano."
They're so easy to understand.
I pat both of them on the shoulder.
"Well, please get along with her, okay?"
"Of course nya."
"We won't do anything bad nano."
However, though I wanted to talk with Norn, how should I go about that?
Well, even if I can't, I hope there won't be any problems later on.
