Chapter 24: Desire to Protect

 

‘I’m sorry, Haruyuki-kun…’

 

After watching Haruyuki-kun walk out of the shop, I looked down at the black underwear I held in my hand.

 

The tag on the bra read size D.

 

I usually wear about three sizes larger, so it is indeed pushing too far to wear it.

 

Naturally, I knew that it was the wrong size when I picked it up, but I still chose it for him because I wanted to understand his preferences.

 

“Dear customer, can I help you?”

 

A shop assistant noticed that I was staring at the black underwear and approached me and asked.

 

She came to help, so I asked her,

 

“Um, do you have anything similar to this underwear in a larger size?”

 

“Ahー… We only have products up to size E in that category.
I am sorry.”

 

“Oh, I see… Then can I take a picture of it? At the very least, I’d like to find something similar.”

 

“If that’s all you wish to do, it’s okay.”

 

“Thank you.”

 

With her permission, I used my phone to take a photo of the underwear and sent the picture I took to a subordinate.

 

|| “Please ask this underwear manufacturer to make one in my size with the same pattern.
Any price is acceptable.”

 

|| “I understand.
I will contact you at the beginning of next week.”

 

|| “Please do.
Thank you very much.”

 

Now we’re good to go.

 

It’s a pity I can’t show myself wearing this to Haruyuki-kun soon, but it wasn’t an option.

 

Let’s wait and hope I get it as soon as possible.

 

And to be honest, I have always felt complex about my body. 

 

Ever since I got into junior high school, I could hardly grow any taller, but my b*****s and buttocks got bigger instead.
Men pervertedly looked at me, and women looked jealously.

 

On top of it, I had to deal with things at home, so I learned how to deal with the trouble.
But that didn’t make the feelings disappear.

 

Furthermore, problems increased, and I think during that time, I closed my mind from others and became a robot who only did what it was told.

 

It was Haruyuki-kun who pulled my soul back and made me human again.

 

I don’t think he is aware of it himself, though.

 

It’s all thanks to him that I’m now a respectable person who loves myself.

 

(… I should probably get going.)

 

I looked down once more at the underwear in my hand.

 

I even got permission to take a photo of it, but I feel like it wouldn’t be a good idea to just leave without buying anything.

 

I know that I can’t wear it, but Haruyuki-kun must be thinking that I’m going to buy this underwear to show him.
Should I buy it so that he won’t get suspicious?

 

After paying the bill, I left the shop.

 

Looking around, I was able to spot Haruyuki-kun a short distance away.

 

On my way closer, his face appeared in my vision.

 

“Ah―”

 

His expression, different from his normal appearance, was crushed by anxiety.

 

Haruyuki’s parents died in an accident only a couple of years ago.

 

He had to go through such an experience when he was still mentally immature, so naturally, the effects must have left a strong impact on him.

 

(Please stop… Haruyuki-kun.)

 

My heart jumps with a thump.

 

Aah, aah.
Please really stop, Haruyuki-kun.

 

Please don’t make such a face in front of me.

 

Making a face that makes me want to protect you is――

 

“Fuu… Fuu…”

 

I slowed my steps a little and caught my breath.

 

As expected, I endlessly love Haruyuki-kun.

 

I want to protect him.
I don’t want him to suffer again.
I don’t want him to be in pain.
I want him to escape from unpleasant things, and I want him to live his life surrounded by only happy things.

 

And if possible, I want him to crave me.

 

I want to spoil him until he becomes mellow and can’t live without me.

 

I want the food that makes up Haruyuki-kun’s body to be made by me as much as possible.

 

I want to be in as many of Haruyuki-kun’s happy memories as possible.

 

I want to celebrate Haruyuki-kun’s birthday every year and for him to say ‘Happy Birthday’ on mine.

 

I want to say ‘I love you’ and be told ‘I love you’ back every day.

 

I want to fill Haruyuki-kun’s heart with everything.

 

In order to fulfil these hopes, I have to face up to my past failures.

 

The gaze that Haruyuki-kun said he felt—if my hunch is correct— is a result of my failure.

 

I must do something about it before he suffers any unwanted damage.

 

(For now, I must act normal.)

 

If I let my guard down, my face would surely turn into an expression of ecstasy.

 

It might even scare Haruyuki-kun away, and I would be sad if that happened.

 

Finally, with my breath and expression both in order, I walk down to Haruyuki-kun.

 

He, too, noticed my presence and looked up at me.

 

Then he finds me and makes a look of heartfelt relief.

 

His expression was so cute that I―

 

(Ah ~~~~ Mou! I really, really, really love him!!)

 

I was unable to endure it and couldn’t help but rush.
