Local Netizen Elf’s Life In Another World

Case 298: Roommates teasing each other(?).

''Huff... huff...''

''Nn...''

The two's labored breaths.

Okay, it's not to that extent, but both of them are indeed sweating a bit. Since Hanako has unknowingly stepped onto a landmine by choosing a whopping seven bras for Aris, she has to remove and put on all of them in a series of tense actions.

And I have the misfortune to have experienced all that heart-thumping nervousness of hers. At one point, it stops being the pounding of love and becomes pure stress, you know?

But now, at least all three of us can breathe—

''...Since you've chosen all these wonderful pieces for me, shouldn't I do it for you, too?''

''Eh?''

Eh?

A brief silence passes. I also prepare my mind in the meantime as I know what choice Hanako will make next.

''O-Okay. Go ahead.''

She will accept it in a heartbeat. Yup.

Before I know it, the weird sensation of being sucked into somewhere is felt, and...

Why did I just agree to her proposal...?

I already have plenty of bras stocked up inside my closet...! More than that, why is she suddenly being so aggressive these days??

I thought we were going slowly but steadily toward being something more than friends, but this development... is she hitting on me purposefully?

''Hanako. Can I remove your clothes?''

''A-Ah, okay—huh?''

Seeing Aris's deep, brilliant blue eyes locking onto mine, I can't help but take a step back in surprise. Soon, her soft pink lips part,

''I need to measure your size. No?''

''Oh... so that's what you mean. I already have my size, though. It's also D, so we use the same ones...''

''...''

Somehow, Aris's slightly bent down posture allows her to look at me from below with sharper eyes, and the unknown silence makes me a bit frightened. As if my heart does not already want to jump out for a walk...!

In a trance, I hastily nod and spread my arms wide open. Only then does the goddess put on a smile and begin to unbutton my shirt. After removing that, she confidently snaps the hook of my bra, rendering my top utterly naked.

''Hm...''

This is embarrassing. Why is she staring like this??

''So, I measure the base and the top, right?''

''Y-Yeah. How did you know...?''

''I sensed the employee doing that to another person earlier.''

W-While she's in here?! A goddess is impressive, huh...

''Pardon me.''

Unsurprisingly, Aris's dexterity is top-notch. She makes wrapping the tape measure around my torso feel like nothing, and within a few dozen seconds, the base has been recorded. But then—

''Ah, sorry~! I can't see the front, so...''

''...!?!''

As I am about to relax, Aris's hands from behind suddenly cup my chest whole from below, dragging the tape with them. The sudden coldness sends a flinch that runs through my whole body, and in response to that, the goddess shamelessly grabs onto my breasts even more firmly.

''Stay still.''

''Hyah...?!''

Closing in.

Now, Aris is nearly hugging me from the back, whispering her words into my ear. She's looking over my shoulder.

As she continues to fiddle with my bare breasts, I start to regret not standing before the mirror but instead facing my back toward it. No, in the first place, can't she see normally even if she's behind me?!

You're a goddess!

''Ngh~!''

Before I can vent that frustration on my mean friend, that very same friend almost purposefully flicks the measuring tape against my nipples, creating another flinch and a whole bunch of wobbling with my legs.

''A-Aris...!''

''Shh. Let me do it properly.''

Argh...! This woman is so mean.

But she eventually presses down the tape correctly, and the size is finally determined.

''Let's see, according to the document... it is a D cup, Hanako.''

''That's what I've been telling you...''

''Heheh, I just wanted to make sure,'' Aris shrugs. ''I am a careful person, so I want to know what exactly I'm getting.''

''...Huh?''

Realizing the meaning behind those words, my face rapidly heats up. In contrast, Aris remains smug, giggling as she continues to tease me and my chest.

In the end, I am unable to escape her clutches.

The rest of the shopping trip goes quite smoothly, though. When the sun starts to come down, we also finish our buying and walk back home with a whole lot of stuff.

Determined to get revenge on this cheeky little goddess, I guide her to the living room first.

''The first step to becoming a resident of this house is to look at and register the house.'' Or so I say. ''Sit here on the sofa and look around. I'll take a quick bath, and then we can explore other areas, alright?''

''Oh, sure.''

''Decorate around if you want. We could use some.''

Heheh... just wait, evil woman. I'll let you know just how shameless I can be.

''Whew... sorry for letting you wait, Aris.''

''Ah, it's no problem—eh...?!''

Yes. That face. 

I wanted to see that astonished expression so much.

You didn't expect me to come out of the bath buck naked, did you?

While Aris crashes out a bit, I take confident strides toward the couch and flop down right beside her. Then, I itch even closer and hug her left arm with my whole upper body.

The slender arm, which is exposed according to the peplos's sleeveless design, is woefully buried between my breasts, and with my cheek, I repeatedly rub at her shoulder.

Aris's face is burning.

Not to flex, but when I did this to Raeliana, she railed me several times harder than usual.

''Hah... as I expected, having someone I can hug after a shower is much more comfortable than being alone.'' 

''I-Is that so?''

''Mhm.''

Even as I blankly stare at the wall, I can feel her gaze burning at my body. Frankly speaking, I'm still a bit embarrassed about showing my sensitive areas like this, but... I can't lose to this cheeky goddess.

Never.

So, despite Aris's effort to wiggle out of my clutches, I remain absolutely firm, holding onto her arm like my life depends on it. Eventually, she resorts to other methods.

''Are you hungry, Hanako? I might be able to make you something?''

''I'm full from the meal at the restaurant. Besides, we live together now, so I can whenever, right?''

''Ugh... h-how about we play some games? I heard the palace released a new type of board game recently.''

''Nn. I'm tired from having to choose your clothes earlier in the day.''

''Ah, shall we go to bed, then?''

''Okay.''

Finally hearing a positive from me, the goddess's face lights up. She looks like a small puppy. So cute.

But I won't let it slide because of that. The price of groping my breasts is steep, you know?

''Since the new bedframe for you comes tomorrow, let's both sleep on my bed for tonight.''

''Eh?''

I open a wide smile at her confused face, ''I can't really make a goddess sleep on the floor, and I can't sleep well down there either, so it's the only solution.''

''E-Eh? But... um... right! How about I make another bed with divine power—''

''That's cheating, Aris. Why did we shop for, then?''

''Ah...''

Cornered, Aris makes a painful expression before her eyes fire up, looking ready to plan revenge.

''...Fine. We'll sleep together.'' She says.

Unaware that whatever scheme she has, it won't work this time. My offensive streak doesn't end here.

Tonight, I'll sleep naked.
