Finishing our contract at the Adventurer’s Guild, we got our long-awaited new home.
All that is left is for the two of us to gather the things necessary for our new life.
“So, what should we buy first?”
Leaving the guild, Misako and I were walking down a main street crowded with shops.
“Well. That house came equipped with everything from furniture to tableware, so aren’t the only things we need clothes and daily necessities? I don’t know what the setup is, but the bedding was clean too, and it looks like we can use it if we wash it.”
“Then, let’s start with shopping around there.”
“Yeah, let’s do that.”
Saying that, we started walking, and the first place Misako stopped was—
“—A lingerie shop?”
“Yeah. It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but neither Ren-kun nor I have a change of underwear, right?”
“That’s certainly true, but… Eh? Wait, then what has Misako been doing until now?”
“I was too embarrassed to say, but after Ren-kun fell asleep, I would secretly wash them, hang them up, and put them on again in the morning.”
To think she went through such hardship.
“Sorry, I didn’t notice.”
“It’s fine. I honestly thought we didn’t have any money.”
It is my responsibility for neglecting the explanation.
And with that, we stepped into that shop.
It was a shop with women’s underwear drawn on a wooden sign, but the moment I stepped inside, I involuntarily held my breath.
“This is amazing…”
“Yeah, this is amazing.”
“Welcome, customers.”
Before the female clerk who came to greet us, I involuntarily swallowed hard.
This is not a regular underwear shop. When you think about it, this is another world. If it were a regular shop, it couldn’t have a sign like that.
This was a specialty store dealing in so-called “adult luxury goods.”
Inside the store, see-through panties and bras, unlike anything from another world, sexy camisoles, and even garter belts were on display.
“Hey, Ren-kun, what should we do?”
Misako blushed a little and peered into my face.
Returning my gaze, the things lined up are all stimulating items.
“——It would suit Misako really well.”
“Ufufu, Ren-kun, you’re really lewd.”
“If you like, you can also try them on.”
The clerk said it nonchalantly.
I thought trying on underwear was something you couldn’t do with my common sense… but isn’t it normally something you can’t do?
“Ren-kun, she says we can try them on.”
“In that case, why don’t you try a few on?”
“Ufufu. I have to let Ren-kun see, after all.”
Without changing her expression, the clerk put on a professional smile, saying, “As expected, the partner’s opinion is also necessary.” As expected, it seems like a shop with that kind of inclination.
“Well then, shall we look around?”
“Yeah.”
Walking around the shop, as expected, they were all adult items.
See-through underwear and ones with bold slits.
“Hey, isn’t this amazing?”
What Misako picked up was a pair of black see-through panties. There was a hole in the important part. A matching bra was also hanging on the hanger.
“Yeah, for mature woman Misako, I think it would suit you very well.”
“Really? Then this is decided. I wonder if I should get about one or two more.”
“Are three sets enough?”
“This is a ‘luxury item.’ Practical goods are bought separately. That’s why here—I think I’ll buy things that Ren-kun will be happy with.”
“——Then, let’s choose together.”
In the end, at that shop, we purchased a black underwear set, a purple one with a similar design, and an orange T-back.

“To think that regular underwear was sold at a second-hand clothing store.”
“That’s right. It’s a surprise that in another world, everyday clothes are mainly second-hand.”
After leaving that shop, when I asked in search of practical underwear, I was told they were at a second-hand clothing store.
The underwear was of course new, with a texture close to the cotton of the previous world.
However, rather than elastic, it was a type tied with strings.
We each bought three sets of everyday underwear and second-hand clothes, and left the shop.
“Misako, where should we go next?”
“After that, daily necessities like soap and buying groceries, I guess?”
“Alright, shall we go?”
“Yeah. …Ufufu, shopping with someone like this is really a long time coming.”
Seeing Misako smiling with affection, I gently held her hand.
Misako opened her eyes a little wide, and then squeezed back tightly.
“That’s right. Even for me, coming shopping with someone has been since my parents were alive.”
If I’m with Misako, life in this world is unexpectedly not bad.
