Harvest

Karina-chan here!

With my friend Dea-chan in tow, I came to the lord's castle! Hand in hand, we strolled happily through the grounds.

 

 

Where are we headed? The auntie led us deeper and deeper inside.

"Still, who would've thought Maria-baachan was the former lord's wife. Gotta thank the gods for this coincidence."

"No kidding. We also didn't know you were such an archmage, Kari-chan. Where did you train?"

"Mm… over that way?"

Chatting, we made for the detached residence where the former lord's wife Maria lives; the place I snuck into two days ago.

Walking, it's huge. Teleporting before, I didn't notice.

After about ten minutes, we reached a receiving room.

"All right, we're here. I'm switching to work mode from here."

"Okaaay. Should I act formal too?"

"You're fine as you are. You're Maria's friend and an important guest here. — Excuse us, Mariabel-sama. I've brought your guests."

Work-mode Auntie has such a lovely voice. Like a mom answering the phone.

As I thought that, the door opened.

Inside was a silver-haired elf. The very image of what Dea would look like grown into a woman, an exquisite elf.

At the sight, Dea squeezed my hand, then quietly let go.

He stepped forward, set his face, and faced his sister.

He placed a hand on his chest and gave a slight bow.

"… Sister. I'm so glad you're safe."

"Eh!? Dii!? Dii, is that you!? Why are you dressed so adorably!?"

"Eh? Oh…"

Dea seemed to remember what he was wearing. His elf ears flushed to the tips. He was frozen. I poked his cheek. Squishy.

Maria, dressed properly as the former lord's wife, addressed me with a troubled look.

"Kari-chan, what exactly is this?"

"Huh? Super cute, right?"

"… Well, I'll admit even I didn't realize he was a boy."

"No one would see anything but a girl. Honestly, isn't Dii cuter than me? My, my. I never knew such a world existed beyond our borders…!"

His sister's eyes sparkled at Dea. I sense potential.

Meanwhile Dea's eyes were welling.

"N-not… that's not…!"

He trembled. Too good. Keep charging that shame into the socks.

"Ah, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Kumin. Thank… you (?) for helping my little brother?"

"Pleased to meet you, I'm Karina. Your little sister is super cute. Ah, you're stunning too, Kumin."

"I-I'm a boy!"

We exchanged introductions with Dea — cute as a barking puppy — between us.

"So, Dii. Why are you dressed so cutely? Won't you tell your sister?"

"T-that's, um… Karina-neesan, could you explain… uu…"

Dea crouched, covering his face. Showing your femboy self to someone who knows you as a boy is apparently mortifying.

"Er… if I recall, that outfit was the one you picked yourself because it suited you best, right? The underwear's for girls too. And the socks are deadly cute, right? You really understand your own cuteness, Dea-chan!"

"Cu—ah, O-onee-san!? That explanation is missing a key part! It's not like that, sister! Karina-neesan said if I wore cute clothes she'd help you!!"

Dea flustered through tears. Ahh, unbearably cute.

"I heard an indecent elf showed up at the bathhouse the other day… don't tell me."

"See, Dea-chan, you should've gone into the women's bath!!"

"Absolutely not, Onee-san!! S-sister, please believe me! I'm not indecent!"

Adorable. My brain is being irrigated with tingling joy. There are nutrients you can only get from a femboy blushing bright red when family sees him dressed up for the first time.

As Dea's eyes were about to spill over, Maria clapped her hands.

"Well now. As a disguise, I think it's extremely well done. Don't you?"

She steered Kumin toward the "It was a disguise" conclusion.

Clever. A former lord's wife indeed.

"Ah—r-right. A disguise. So that's why you were dressed like a girl, Dii."

"Y-yes. I dressed like this to hide… right, Karina-neesan!?"

All right. I've teased enough.

"I prefer you like this, but… okay, Dea-kun. You can change. Here are your clothes back."

"Th-thank you."

I handed over what he wore first. I'd secretly swapped the socks for a fresh pair. I humbly intend to offer both the femboy socks and the 'boy' socks to the Goddess.

"I'll go change, then."

"Eh? You can change right here. You're a boy; nothing to be ashamed of, right?"

"… It is embarrassing, you know?"

"Then give me the socks first. That'll do."

"T-that much… okay."

Dea reached to peel his socks off, but he was wearing black over-knees. Thigh-highs. Lifting his skirt to hook his fingers would, of course — show — show — now!

"Dea-chan. Your panties are visible to the aunties."

"Hya!?"

He reflexively pressed his skirt down. Face red again, trembling. Cute.

"Oh? What's wrong, Dea-chan? Embarrassed to have your skirt peeked under? How cute. Go on."

"Uuu… Onee-san, you meanie…"

Awash in shame just as I planned, Dea carefully removed the knee-socks without revealing the inside of his skirt. Then he took his clothes and went to the next room.

… I immediately tucked the freshly removed socks into storage.

The fruit I carefully cultivated has at last been harvested.

Goddess, did you see!?

"Most excellent job! I'll guarantee 100 SP for the before/after femboy set! I'll also add a red ticket that triples appraisal. That's effectively 300 SP! Woo!"

Oh, directly in my head! … I wasn't wrong! We did it thanks to you, Dea-kun!

"Er… what did we just witness?"

"I'm not sure, but Dii was very cute."

Kumin's lips quirked as she watched her little brother get flustered.

Told you she had potential!
