Low-rise... underwear???
Mengdie frowned, deep in thought. Low-rise underwear... was that referring to the kind worn by ring girls carrying signboards at boxing matches on Earth? She tried to recall, never having paid much attention before. Such underwear seemed to be made of a thin strip of fabric, barely covering the lower body and seemingly designed to tempt men...
Women's... underwear...? Tempting... men...???
In an instant, both Mengdie's tail and ears stood up straight. From experience, Xiu knew this was a sign of the girl's impending rage.
"No, no, no! Don’t get mad! Let me explain!!!" Xiu hastily backed away three steps, gesticulating across the campfire, "I was just thinking from the perspective of making it more convenient for you! You also said that you didn’t want the base of your tail to keep hurting, right? Besides wearing low-rise underwear, you would basically have to give up wearing trousers. Only by wearing skirts can you completely free your tail from the confinement of clothing..."
"Enough talk!!!"
A fist clad in a boxing glove suddenly shot towards Xiu. Startled, he quickly chanted a defensive spell, erecting a light barrier in front of him. But the barrier was no match for Mengdie’s punch. With just a light touch, the barrier shattered, and Mengdie's fist solidly struck the ground between Xiu's legs.
"Boom——！！！！"
The loud noise was accompanied by the ground cracking. Xiu sat there, pale-faced, motionless, and stupefied, looking at the furious girl before him...
"Xiu, I've already worn women's clothing once in my life, and I don’t want to do it a second time! If you genuinely want to help me, I appreciate it. But if you're just trying to make me wear clothes according to your logic, then dream on! I’ll solve the tail problem myself; I don’t need your help!"
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
After saying this, Mengdie withdrew her fist and turned to leave. Her message was clear, and Xiu understood it well. The magic apprentice also knew that further teasing her might not end well for him...
But...
As Mengdie turned, her tail inadvertently brushed against Xiu's nose...
Like a devil possessed, Xiu's face flushed red, and he reflexively reached out, grabbing Mengdie's tail. The fluffy sensation was irresistible, and he couldn't help but squeeze it tightly.
"Feels... so nice to touch..."
"Yahhh——!!!"
While Xiu was comfortable, Mengdie was in a dire situation! After Xiu squeezed her tail, she felt utterly weak, unable to exert any strength. She quickly turned around, using the momentum to pull her tail from Xiu's grasp. The girl stepped back three paces, covering her tail with both hands, her face flushed with embarrassment (and anger).
"You... you——!!!"
"Ah, Miss Mengdie! You can’t blame me! Your tail teased me first!"
"You... you dared... !!!"
"Ah ah ah! Right! Your tail feels so nice, it's really comfortable! I believe no other beastkin female can compare to your beauty!"
The fox ears were already standing up.
"I... I misspoke! What I meant to say is, even among humans, elves, and half-elves, you are the most beautiful girl! Please forgive me! I... I just couldn't help it and squeezed it!"
"Words are useless! Die, you jerk!!!"
"Hey hey hey! Miss Mengdie! You have incredible strength now! Be careful! You might hurt someone! Hey——!!!"
Under the clear night sky, the sound of the ground breaking echoed...
※※※
Night fell.
It was already quite dark, but inside the two tents in the wilderness, bright glass oil lamps still glowed. It was unclear what Xiu was up to, but Mengdie sat inside her tent, looking helpless.
Because of the tail, she could no longer sit cross-legged on the ground as usual. If she did, the base of her tail would be too close to the ground and could get accidentally pressed, causing pain. As a result, she had to kneel on the bed, using the space supported by her feet to give her tail some freedom to move.
Now, Mengdie had removed her lower garments, placing her underwear and trousers on the bed, frowning in deep thought.
Hmm... I definitely won't wear low-rise pants or skirts. So, how can I prevent my tail from being touched while the spell remains unbroken?
Mengdie continued her uninterrupted contemplation. Her tail idly swayed back and forth. Her ears drooped softly, occasionally twitching to the sounds outside the tent.
...No choice, I have to modify the trousers.
Mengdie nodded, took a small knife from her bag, and picked up her underwear, standing up. She held the underwear, making measurements around her waist. After determining the height and size needed for her tail, she nodded and cut a circle in the back of the underwear with the knife.
This should be much better, right? I used to mend my own clothes at the monastery; even though I've changed bodies, my skills shouldn't be rusty.
Mengdie held the modified underwear, comparing it again from all angles, then carefully put it on. When she pulled it up to her waist, she carefully threaded her tail through the hole.
Perfect! Done!
The fluffy tail happily wagged outside the underwear, no longer hindered by it. Mengdie nodded in satisfaction, took off the underwear, and used a sharpened stone needle from the daytime to completely unravel a small piece of cut fabric, then sewed the threads around the edge of the hole to reinforce it. This way, she wouldn't have to worry about the hole getting bigger, and her tail could move freely without concern.
