Chapter 280 – Much to look at

The group had finished their dinner, everyone loved the homemade pizzas very much, and they decided to take a bath before getting comfy for the rest of the evening. Unfortunately, the runaway couple had forgotten to bring a pair of pajamas with them. Luckily, Maya, Sophia, and Chloe managed to collect some spares for them. For some reason, the three decided to prepare the skimpiest pieces of clothing they could find, though. Naturally, that was pure coincidence, and none of them had any hidden thoughts behind their decision.

“Is it bad that I really want to see Anna and Ari in skimpy clothes?” Sophia and Maya were back in the living room already after their bath and were currently waiting for the others to return. Both wore matching clothes, black shorts, and a camisole with a bit of cleavage and their navels showing. The colors of it were different, though. Sophia's top was a light pink, while Maya's was more of a light blue.

“Nope.” The cat-girl just shook her head. “I do, too, after all.”

“Well, but you are a pervert, so I’m not sure how much I can trust your opinion on the matter.”

“Hey!” Maya got loud. "Who's the one who got a crop top for Ari that might not even cover a bra or the entire underside of her chest? Why do you even have something like that?"

“Because you told me to buy it.”

"A-Ah.” The cat-girl accidentally weakened her position even more. “Y-You still gave it to our jaguar, though.”

“…” She paused for a moment. “That’s fair.”

“See?” Maya started smiling again. “We’re both perverts, so it’s safe for you to listen to my opinion.”

“Is that really how it works…?” The blonde looked a little dubious.

“Yup.”

"Hmm… Well, I guess as long as it's just looking, it should be fine, right?"

“Exactly!”

“Just don’t get jealous about me doing that, though!"

"A-Ah…” Maya awkwardly scratched her cheek again. “I’ll try…”

“Idiot.”

“I know…”

“Well, I think the two of you already are more than a sight to behold, so I wonder if those two can top it.” Chloe suddenly entered the living room and joined their conversation in the most natural way possible. She, too, was wearing black shorts and a white camisole, only that it was even more revealing. “Though, I do look forward to seeing more of Ari.” The fox-girl was into medium-sized girls, after all. "Also, I can't believe that we managed to get such a similar design pattern for their pajamas!"

“See, it’s totally fine.” Maya smiled at her tiger once again before nodding at Chloe. “Thanks for the compliment, by the way.”

"Again, she's just another pervert. So, who knows how credible those words are.”

"H-Hey!" The fox-girl raised her voice. "I can't say much to defend myself, but still! Hey! Also, one pervert calling out another is really mean!”

"A-Ah…” Sophia hung her head in return. “Well, if I can’t escape that title… You look great, Chloe. Thanks for the view.” She just embraced it for the time being while looking at the lightly dressed fox.

“T-Thanks…” Her cheeks turned ever so slightly pink.

----------------

Another 10 minutes had passed since Chloe joined the couple, and the living room was about to turn even noisier. The second duo also finally decided to show themselves again.

"Ohh!" Maya, Sophia, and the fox-girl started clapping once Anna and Ari entered the room.

“Uuh…” The faces of the duo were entirely crimson.

“T-This is too much…” The princess squirmed around a little while she was trying to pull down the crop-top she had gotten from Chloe to hide even a little bit more of her entirely bare stomach. It was a light-pink top that resembled more the design of a sports bra, just not as tight as it wasn't meant for support but for being comfortable. As the top was made for the fox-girl, who liked to dress lightly, it being worn by the tall princess only made it look even smaller. Actually, it barely covered all of her chest as the cleavage was rather big, and even the sides were mostly open. The white shorts she got from Maya were not quite that revealing, though the shape of her butt could still easily be seen in them, especially as they didn’t fully cover the entire underside connecting to her thighs. They were a little short on the tiger, after all.

“I-I hate you…” Ari tried to glare at the blonde, but she was too embarrassed to properly look angry. The jaguar looked even more revealing than Anna. The yellow top she had gotten from Sophia had a closed neckline, so there was no cleavage, but Ari would've vastly preferred that over what she actually got. It was so short that a part of the underside of her breasts wasn't even fully covered. Her white shorts, which had a pink stripe on them, too, were the shortest out of anyone in the living room right now, covering only the absolute bare minimum. While it didn’t reveal any immediate sensitive parts, a good bit of her lower butt was visible to everyone present. “I-I knew that you’re a p-pervert, b-but this much…?” Ari was even more squirming around than her princess.

“H-Hey!” The blonde pervert got loud. “Maya’s the one who made me buy them!”

“Y-You made me wear them, though! Pervert!”

"A-Ah.” There was nothing she could defend herself with. "T-Though... Can you really accuse me of that...?" Sophia then stared at a particular part of Ari. "It doesn't seem like you're wearing a bra right now... The underside of your chest that is sticking out... It's bare!"

"..." The jaguar turned her head away while her face turned redder.

"Don't sound so excited while making this amazing discovery!" Maya glared at her, but the way she worded it, didn't make it sound like she was actually angry.

"I-It would've looked even weirder with my bra sticking out..." She tried to defend herself.

"Weirder than your actual breasts?" The cat-girl didn't buy it. "You're a little into the look, aren't you?"

"..." Ari paused for a moment. "It looks embarrassing!"

"That's not an answer."

"S-Shut up!"

“On the plus side, you look great! You both do.” Chloe decided that it would be best to let her get used to the clothes without the teasing duo overdoing it. It totally wasn't because the fox-girl was hoping that Ari really would take a liking to it and wear it more often from now on.

“Compliments aren’t going to make this any better!” Ari got loud. “T-Thanks, though…” She didn’t entirely dislike it, either.

“Hehe~.” The three liked her reaction.

“Uuh… Seriously, how can all of you be so comfortable in such clothes…” She glanced at Sophia, Maya, and Chloe, who, while slightly more dressed, didn't look all that different from the couple. "I can't calm down at all…" Her fidgeting just got stronger.

“Because the clothes are comfortable?” Sophia tilted her head. “Super easy to move in, too.”

"Because there's nothing! It's obvious that it's easy to move if you're basically naked!" Anna also raised her voice. "Why did you get so embarrassed about wearing a skirt not too long ago when you now show lots of cleavage, most of your stomach, and a bit of your butt peeking out of your shorts?! Actually, I can even see parts of your panties while you're sitting down because the legs of your shorts are rather wide. They're the same color as Ari's! A nice dark blue!"

“Just where are you looking?” More than just one girl replied to her.

“O-Oh…” She noticed her mistake. “I-I just wanted to get my point across!”

“Sure.” More than just one girl rolled their eyes in response.

“Uhh…” Sophia just awkwardly scratched her cheek. “That’s a good question… Maybe because I knew that I have to wear a skirt in public while me looking like this will only be seen by my best friends?" She gestured at herself while saying so.

“Aww…” The princess was touched for a second. “Wait, you only met Chloe two or three days ago!”

“And I already love her enough that it feels like we’ve known each other for years~.”

“Ehehe~.” The fox-girl in question liked her reply. "To me, it also feels like we've been friends for way longer already!"

“And there you have it~.” The blonde smiled at her fellow tiger.

“There’s just no winning with you, is there?”

“Nope.” Maya was the one who answered her.

“Now, just sit down and relax.” Sophia pointed at the free sofa. “You look great, so there’s no reason for all the complaining!”

“I hate you…” Saying so, Anna hung her head and walked over to the sofa while Ari followed after her.

"Once we finally go shopping for clothes, I'm going to put you in the shortest skirt I can find…" The jaguar looked straight at her. "And don't you dare complain about it for even a second.”

"And once we bought it, I'll give it to one of the maids in the castle who's good at sewing, and we're going to have it shortened even more!" The princess had the same expression.

“Oh, I like that plan!” Maya showed them a bright smile.

“I do, too!” Chloe had the same reaction.

“I don’t!” The blonde disagreed. “I don’t really have a choice, though, do I?”

“Nope.” All four girls replied to her at the same time.

“Well, it was worth it.” She was still looking at the couple.

“Yup.” The cat-girl and the fox were doing the same.

“All of you are the worst…” The jaguar couldn’t believe them.

“You know,” Maya addressed her. “Your words would sting a lot more if your eyes would stop drifting towards Chloe's chest, which is heavily accentuated by the cleavage of her top, every now and then."

“…” She immediately turned her head away.

"A-Ari?!” Anna stared right at her in return.

“Oh, you finally stopped looking at Sophia’s breasts, huh?” The cat-girl wasn’t done yet.

“…” The princess also turned silent.

“My, quite a lot that’s going on here.” Chloe was amazed by how tight the group was in one way or another.

“Do you really think it’s a good idea to join in on this conversation, miss who’s really strongly shifting around between Sophia and Ari?”

“…” Maya claimed another victim.

“By the way,” Sophia eventually faced her cat. “When will you stop staring at Anna?”

"In about 5 to 7 minutes." She had no shame whatsoever.

“Wow.” The blonde had no idea what or how she should reply to that.

Afterward, everyone needed some time to calm down again before they managed to put the topic past them for the time being. Eventually, they got comfy on their sofas and decided to chat about other, more meaningless topics for the rest of the evening.

A chapter with Anna and Ari in skimpy clothes? Not without illustrations, right? Right.

That being said, the chapter and the illustrations weren't planned together, so the two might not look exactly like I described before. I tried to match text and pictures a bit, but I didn't want to change too much.

As usual, a MASSIVE thanks to everyone over on Patreon for making these illustrations possible!
