Chapter 483: Naked Apron (2)

The following day, Sui attended school as usual. The first class was Korean cuisine, and as he worked on the assigned dishes, he chatted casually with Megumi.

"I heard about what happened last time from Granny, but I never expected her to be so... young at heart," Megumi said with a gentle smile, referencing the previous incident.

"She's just a bit old-fashioned, that's all," Sui replied, feeling somewhat speechless. "At her age, wearing something like that is... well, unexpected."

"Honestly, at first, we thought it was Isshiki-senpai or Ryoko," Sui added, smirking.

"Isshiki-senpai? Really?" Megumi laughed heartily. "Although he does have some strange habits, he's a kind senpai. As for Ryoko, I don't think she'd wear something like that."

"What kind of clothes do you normally wear, Megumi?" Sui asked absentmindedly, but quickly realized his mistake. Embarrassed, he added, "Sorry, that was out of line."

Megumi blushed and lowered her head. "It's alright," she murmured shyly.

"Sui, are you teasing Megumi again? You've made her blush!" Yoshino teased as she joined the conversation, casting a suspicious glance at Sui.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Sui replied, rolling his eyes.

Ryoko, with a playful grin, added, "I bet you're whispering sweet words again."

"No way," Sui scoffed, deflecting their teasing. Then, turning to Yoshino, he asked, "By the way, how are those rabbits doing? I'm still worried about the difference between cheese rabbits and regular ones."

"They've settled in nicely," Yoshino giggled. "But yesterday, Erina ran away from home again. Sui keeps stealing Megumi's food and bullying her. And Ryoko... well, she's totally smitten with Sui and follows him everywhere."

Yoshino's mention of "Ryoko" referred to the fourth rabbit, which she had humorously named after Sakaki.

Ryoko shrugged with a helpless smile, having already protested against her rabbit namesake to no avail. 

"It suits them though," Yoshino said proudly. "Megumi's quiet and obedient, Ryoko's mature and calm, and Erina's proud and aloof."

Sui thought about it and realized the rabbit named Erina indeed had a cold, tsundere-like personality, much like her human counterpart.

"And me? What would I be?" Sui asked, curious.

Yoshino thought for a moment, then teased, "A playboy?"

Sui's face darkened. "Oi!"

After classes ended, Sui ran into Erina, and they walked home together. Upon reaching the entrance, Erina removed her shoes and quickly knelt to take out a pair of slippers for Sui.

"Welcome back," she said with a bright smile.

Sui looked at her, a bit perplexed. "Didn't we both just come back together?" he asked.

Erina stuck out her tongue, slightly embarrassed. "I think having some rituals in life is important."

"Hmm, sounds like someone's eager to play the wife," Sui teased, grinning.

Blushing, Erina stood up quickly. "I'll go start cooking. You can relax on the couch."

Sui nodded and watched as she walked away, now wearing an apron instead of her school uniform. They were still students, but this scene felt more and more like a married couple's routine.

Just then, a delivery arrived. Sui took the package and, curious, called out to Erina. "Erina, your deliveries here!"

"Already?!" Erina rushed out of the kitchen, her face flushed.

Sui eyed the package suspiciously. "What's in it?"

Blushing even harder, Erina opened the package to reveal several pieces of lingerie. "It's... um... underwear," she admitted shyly.

Sui was taken aback. "Since when did you start liking this sort of thing?" he asked, slightly bewildered. Despite the fact that they had already shared intimate moments, Erina still blushed even during casual interactions.

"Well... didn't you say you wanted to see me wearing something like this?" Erina whispered, her face turning even redder.

Sui thought for a moment and vaguely recalled saying something along those lines. "In that case, go ahead and try it on. Let's see if it fits," he said playfully.

"Now?!" Erina stammered, her face heating up even more. "I thought it'd be for tonight..."

Despite her hesitation, Erina eventually went upstairs to change. After a short while, she came down, looking incredibly shy.

"This is so embarrassing... There's so little fabric," she mumbled, covering her upper body with her hands. Her pale skin flushed a delicate pink from embarrassment.

[Note: We're all adults here, so this is not too much right? In case I get reported.]

Sui's eyes lit up as he took in the sight. "You look beautiful," he said honestly.

Erina was wearing a violet set with only three small triangles of fabric, just enough to cover the essentials. Her already mature figure only added to the allure, making her appear even more stunning.

Flustered, Erina didn't know where to place her hands to cover herself. "I... I think I should change back. This really doesn't suit me," she muttered, though there was a hint of expectation in her voice.

"Nonsense. It suits you perfectly," Sui said, dismissing her insecurities. "You'll get used to it."

Blushing deeply, Erina shot him an embarrassed glare. But before she could respond, the smell of something burning wafted in from the kitchen.

"Oh no! The food!" Erina exclaimed. In a panic, she hurriedly tied her apron back on and dashed toward the kitchen.

Sui watched her leave, barely able to contain a nosebleed. As Erina had run off, her T-shaped panties had revealed her bare back, which caught his eye.

Erina clearly realized this too, as she tried to cover her back with her hands, turning to glare at Sui in embarrassment.

"Erina, the food's burning," Sui reminded her, trying to keep his composure.

"Ah!" Erina screamed and, forgetting all about covering up, rushed back to save the dish from burning.
