I was already deep in thought about how to complete this quest. After all, teasing Arna isn’t something one does without careful consideration.

“Ugh…”

However, it turned out that wasn’t necessary at all. Right at that moment, my prey walked right into the net.

It wasn’t some cheap fish like a yellow croaker that would refuse bait. No, it was none other than the first-tier sashimi of the sea, the Jeju angel shark.

“When did you develop the hobby of stealing people’s underwear, you breast-monster?”

“…”

The culprit who had stolen my underwear was none other than our heroine, the world’s hero, the idol of Han-yul Military Academy, Arna Kristin Dotir.

“Why are you so silent? Aren’t you going to make an excuse?”

“T-that…”

Arna hunched her shoulders and squirmed. And as an added bonus, she couldn’t even meet my eyes.

It was like seeing my own childhood self after getting caught stealing money from my mother’s wallet. Nothing to say, just bowing my head, completely caught red-handed.

Arna was in the same situation. There was no way out since she’d been caught red-handed right in front of me, stealing underwear.

“Why did you take my panties?”

I still couldn’t believe it. That Arna would actually do such an obscene act.

Honestly, if I had stolen Arna’s panties, maybe, but I never imagined Arna would steal mine. That’s just not the kind of person Arna is.

So, I had to ask.

“…”

Even so, Arna couldn’t easily answer my question. She just moved her lips silently, showing a very intimidated appearance that made me feel sorry for her.

But that wasn’t going to make me let her slide easily. I pulled out my smartphone.

“Planning to keep quiet? Fine. If you’re going to play like this, then I’ll respond in my own style…”

“Aaaah! Aaaah! Wait! I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything!”

Right as I was about to unlock my smartphone, Arna panicked and started jumping around like there was a bomb under her feet.

Soon, Arna explained her reasons.

“Actually… I’m not quite sure… I don’t even understand why I did this…”

“Not sure?”

“Yes…”

“Hmm. That’s all, is it?”

Click.

I picked up my smartphone again. This time, I unlocked it, opened a community app, and entered the Free Board section.

“Aaaah! Aaaah! It’s true! It’s really the truth! I can swear to the heavens!”

So, her story was that she took my panties and doesn’t know why. Is this even believable?

It wasn’t even a valid excuse.

“An accidental crime, huh.”

“…”

“You didn’t even realize when you entered the male locker room and…”

“…”

“Stole the underwear and returned to leave it behind?”

“…”

“Are you in your right mind? Where did you leave the morality that a human should have? Have you forsaken being human, Arna Kristin Dotir?”

“Please stop… That is…!”

Arna fell to her knees and covered her ears. She realized she had done something shameful.

“I regret it! I deeply regret it! Why the hell did I take panties out of everything!”

“At least you’re aware of your transgression. Good to know you’re not arrogant.”

“Please!”

Arna knelt with her knees bent and pleaded with her hands clasped, sending me a desperate look.

“Just once, spare me! Could you just look the other way once? Huh?”

“Hmm. I see.”

This wasn’t just anyone; it was me. Arna knew better than anyone how far I could escalate this.

Naturally, it would start with the community app, then rumors would spread outside the school. It wouldn’t take long for the news to reach reporters.

After this incident, Arna’s image would fall through the floor and into the abyss.

The fallen hero of the world… Or perhaps from now on, she would become the pervert hunter Arna.

“I’ll do anything!”

So in this situation, Arna had no choice but to kneel and lower her head. After all, it would be more expensive for everyone to find out than just asking me alone.

“You really mean anything?”

“Yes! Anything!”

“Hmm.”

What should I do…? Even though I’m the villain tormenting Arna, I don’t want her to fall into that abyss.

Don’t forget. My original goal is to help Arna grow, no matter what.

Through completing quests, I’ll make her stronger and save this world.

I can’t cut off Arna’s growth potential like this.

It seems troubling Arna enough to complete the quest would be enough.

That should be sufficient.

“Panties.”

“Yes…?”

“Hand them over.”

I made the same request of Arna as was done to me.

Arna blinked her eyes as if she hadn’t fully understood what I was asking.

“Surely… You don’t mean the underwear I’m wearing…?”

“That’s right.”

“!”

As I nodded, Arna sprang up from her seat and shouted. Her face had gone completely red.

“Are you a pervert? Asking for panties… That I’m wearing now!”

“Pervert? I don’t think that’s an appropriate word coming from your mouth.”

“Ugh…”

Already a underwear thief, Arna shouldn’t have much to say if I’m asking for panties.

In other words, she was hoisted by her own petard.

“So, will you hand them over?”

“That’s…”

I extended my hand, but Arna stepped back instead.

It seems Arna has no intention of handing me the panties.

“I see. If this is your answer, then I have no choice.”

I picked up my smartphone again. Upon seeing this, Arna hurriedly flailed her arms.

“Alright! I’ll give them to you! Just don’t do that!”

Arna had no other way out here. She could only act according to my demands.

“However… Turn around for a bit, please…”

“Turn around?”

“I have to take them off, right? Panties…”

True. She wouldn’t be able to take off her panties while I watched with wide eyes. After all, Arna is a woman.

It was a reasonable request.

“Alright. Do you just want me to turn around?”

I turned my body. I couldn’t see Arna here. There was nothing but white storage cabinets in front of me.

“Ugh… How could I end up… taking off my underwear… in the middle of a men’s locker room…”

Arna probably never expected that she would end up in a situation like this.

Swoosh…

I couldn’t see it, but I could definitely hear it. This was the sound of pulling down pants.

Thud!

Next, the sound of fabric snapping. It was the sound of pulling one foot out of the underwear.

Swoosh…

Finally, the sound of putting the pants back on. It was clear she’d taken off her panties.

“Th-that’s… done…”

Arna whispered cautiously. At this, I turned back around.

“Eee-eeeee-!”

Right before my eyes was Arna, standing awkwardly with sweat dripping down her face.

Of course. It’s natural that not even a piece of clothing should stick to her legs.

Currently, she was in a no-underwear state.

“Here…”

Arna revealed a shameful expression and slightly extended her fists. Concealed in her hand was a piece of thin cloth. My requested panties.

I took the panties from her.

“Hmm.”

A peach-colored plain underwear. It was quite classic. Also, since it was something Arna had just been wearing, its warmth was still evident.

So, these are Arna’s panties.

“Eee-ugh…”

As I stared intently at the underwear, Arna’s face started to turn redder and redder. She looked like she’d climb into a rat hole if one appeared nearby.

Of course, the “boobs” would prevent her from getting in.

“Will you… not do something weird with this afterward?”

“Something weird? What are you talking about?”

“That… You know…! All sorts of things…!”

Arna’s eyes started to waver.

“Smelling it or… or… using my underwear to… you know, do that kind of thing…”

“So, let me ask you instead. Did you do anything weird with my underwear?”

“Wha…?”

“Did you do anything unnecessary with my underwear?”

Arna shook her head vigorously as I asked.

“Of course not…! I wouldn’t do that with your underwear!”

“Hmm. Not very believable.”

“That’s… It’s true! It’s the truth!”

“Aren’t you willing to swear to the heavens like you did earlier?”

“That’s…”

Hmm. What’s this reaction? To anyone else, it seems like she might have done something weird. Very suspicious, indeed?

I approached the storage cabinet. I picked up my wine-colored briefs that were there and tossed them toward Arna.

“I won’t take this back.”

“Huh?”

“That means I’m letting you keep it, Arna. It’d be creepy if I wore something so awkward.”

“I told you I didn’t do anything weird!”

Still, Arna didn’t refuse. She started to store the underwear I’d dropped on the floor into her sports bag.

There could be no clearer example of a pervert.

“Hmm. So is that it? I feel like this doesn’t quite wrap up well.”

“Again…? What more do you want…?”

Just swapping panties. We’re even. In other words, there’s no benefit for me from this situation at all.

I can’t close the book on this so easily.

“Alright, from now on, repeat after me.”

So, let’s have Arna do something embarrassing again.

“What… What do you want me to repeat..?”

“Not difficult at all. All you need to do is shout, ‘I am a pervert lingerie thief bra-less girl erotica comic enthusiast queen boob monster.'”

“That’s insane! Why would I say something like that!”

“Fine, then.”

“I’ll do it…! I’ll do it right away…!”

Even before I pulled out my smartphone, Arna changed her mind. Such quick calculations, truly commendable.

“Ugh… I will never forget today’s events… I will definitely… Definitely return the favor…!”

“Shut up and just do what you’re told.”

Arna was almost crying. Her eyes already glistened with tears, and her eyelids were bright red.

Arna closed her eyes tightly and blurted out the sentence.

“I am… A pervert lingerie thief… Bra-less girl… Erotica comic enthusiast… Queen boob monster…”

“I can’t hear it well. Say it again.”

“I am a pervert lingerie thief, bra-less girl, erotica comic enthusiast, queen boob monster…”

“Louder.”

“I am a pervert lingerie thief bra-less girl erotica comic enthusiast queen boob monsteraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
