The Handsome Boy I Saved from Getting Beaten on the Train… Turned Out to Be the “Prince” of an All-Girls School - V1 Chapter 30: The Reason I Endured This Humiliation!

Chapter 30: The Reason I Endured This Humiliation!

“Uhh… is this what girls’ underwear looks like? Is this the right kind? And size-wise… Rei’s pretty tall, so maybe L size?”

Right after leaving the athletic field, I headed to the nearby convenience store—

And now I stood frozen in front of one of the toughest missions of my life, acting like the sketchiest person alive.

“Okay, let’s see… Choose based on hip size? Who the heck knows their female friend’s hip measurements!?”

Swallowing my pride, I pulled out my phone and searched: ‘how to choose women’s underwear size.’

But none of the results were helpful in the slightest.

“What do I do… What do I even do…”

Should I just buy both M and L sizes?

But for two girls, that’d mean four pairs total…

And my wallet’s not strong enough for that.

Maybe I should just ask them directly?

‘Hey, Rei, Rinna. What’s the measurements of your hips?’

…Nope. Absolutely not. No way in hell I could ever say that.

Gaaah! Is this going to be a 50/50 gamble!?

“Um… excuse me.”

“Hyah!? N-No! I swear, I’m not suspicious or anything! I’m just here to buy underwear for my female friends—wait, no! I mean, they got their underwear wet, and I—uh…”

Someone spoke to me from behind, and I spun around—only to start babbling a panicked explanation that no one had asked for.

Well, I mean… if a guy’s wandering around the women’s underwear section of a convenience store looking like a nervous wreck, of course it looks shady!

“If it’s Lady Rinna’s underwear, she wears M size.”

“…Huh?”

The woman I was awkwardly trying to explain myself to didn’t even flinch at my panicked rambling—and instead dropped a totally unexpected answer.

“Forgive me for not introducing myself earlier. I’m Iou Kusajishi, a maid in service to Lady Rinna.”

“A m-maid…? Oh! You were there when I went to visit Rinna!”

She was the one who guided me when I visited Rinna’s house, after she’d been carried like a princess and then left school early.

Of course, she wasn’t in her maid uniform right now—

She looked more like a calm and classy college girl in casual clothes, which is why I didn’t recognize her at first.

“You just thought, ‘Too bad she’s not in a maid outfit,’ didn’t you?”

“N-No! Not at all…”

“Hmm. So Lord Kujou is not into maids. I must report this to Lady Rinna.”

“Uh… right…”

Wow… this person’s a bit odd.

I thought maids were supposed to stay polite and quiet—especially around their master’s acquaintances—and not show so much personality.

“I received a message from Lady Rinna earlier and I understand the situation.”

“Ah, I see. T-That’s a relief.”

I let out a breath of relief at Kusajishi-san’s words.

Of course. This was totally something Rinna would do.

She must’ve guessed I’d be overwhelmed trying to buy underwear, and sent her maid to help me out.

All I had to do now… was let her handle everything.

“Just now, I recorded a perfect video of you, Lord Kujou—nervously holding women’s underwear in both hands, acting super suspicious.”

“…What the!?”

With a thumbs-up, Kusajishi-san proudly showed me her phone.

Playing on the screen was a painfully clear video of me looking like a total creep in front of the women’s underwear section.

“If I upload this as the next ‘Whoa-Whoa Dude’ video, it’ll probably go viral again.”

“Please don’t!! Weren’t you supposed to come help me!?”

“My orders from Lady Rinna were to ‘go check on Lord Kujou.’”

“Wait, doesn’t that mean you were supposed to help if I got into trouble…?”

“My mission was only to observe and document your errand on behalf of my lady. That’s what she’d find most amus—ahem—most in line with her will.”

“Damn it… Rinna really is the worst.”

I take back what I said earlier about being thankful for how thoughtful she was.

I should’ve remembered—

The moment she made me go buy underwear, her plan was already to mess with me from the start.

“Well, I’ll at least help with picking the right sizes. Here—these are the ones that fit Lady Rinna and Lady Rei. Please proceed to the register.”

“Uh… yes…”

So… she did help me out a little, I guess.

“So, how does it feel for a teenage boy to buy underwear for a girl your age? Any thoughts on the fact that you just chose the fabric that’s going to touch your classmate’s most private area?”

“Can you at least keep quiet in the background if you’re filming this ‘errand documentary’…?”

Seriously, calling it a documentary, yet having Kusajishi-san suddenly whip out borderline suggestive interview questions made it feel more like an awkward adult-themed skit.

Well, not that filming me doing errands would ever turn into some heartwarming “kid’s first solo shopping trip” kind of content…

“At last, you’ve completed your purchase, Lord Kujou.”

“Yeah… I somehow pulled off the mission.”

I finally made it through the register and stepped out of the convenience store.

It was just a quick underwear run… so why do I feel so drained?

Honestly, I’d rather go back to pulling the basin for the kids.

“Now then—here’s the matching top and bottom set for Lady Rinna. Please deliver them to her. I also picked out something suitable for Lady Rei.”

“All this… for this!? What was the point of my suffering!?”

Right as we stepped out of the convenience store, Kusajishi-san handed me a paper bag—

And I shouted out loud.

If she already had spare clothes prepared, then tell me before I went through all that!

She totally knew everything from the start and just sat back, watching me suffer!

“No peeking inside, okay?”

“I won’t!! Geez—I’m going now!”

I snatched the paper bag from Kusajishi-san like I was storming off, and headed straight for the gate to re-enter the athletic field.

And so, our secretly popular character—the maid, Iou Kusajishi—makes her return!

Though to be fair, the real fan-favorite is still the lovely mom, Suzune-san.
