The last time I tried on black stockings in front of the mirror, I felt they were too see-through. I made up my mind to buy a pair with thicker fabric! Please don't be surprised why I care so much about black stockings. It's all because I've never worn them before, so I wanted to give it a try. After all, the church uniform I wore was pure white. From childhood to adulthood, I always paired it with white stockings.

Despite knowing that I am a boy, I still wanted to try it. The more I felt ashamed, the more I couldn't resist. Sometimes I even doubt if I am beyond help.

Unable to face the fact that I am a boy, I fell into the abyss of cross-dressing and couldn't free myself - am I the kind of person they are referring to?

After bidding farewell to my sisters Momo and Yue, I came to a store that sells small clothing items for women. The pink decoration style undoubtedly indicated that men were not welcome. Since I dress and style myself as a flawless girl, I have confidence when entering such places.

That being said, when I saw several real girls selecting panties from the discounted counter labeled "5 pairs for 128 Holy Coins," I felt embarrassed and quickly walked away.

I wouldn't... rush over and choose with them.

Even if there's a style I like, I would just pick the size S and leave.

But when it comes to choosing stockings... I would stand still like now, scanning from the first row to the last. Stockings are intimate accessories that cannot be tried on. I can only buy them and try them at home to see the effect.

"Hmm..."

Turns out, the white stockings I usually wear also have styles with very thin fabric? They look silky and seem to wrap around the legs like a layer of thin gauze.

Huh? What are those fishnet stockings? Who would wear them outside? Are they just for wearing at home and playing around?

"Hello, can I help you with anything?"

- I was startled because I was too focused. It turned out to be a smiling shop assistant standing next to me.

Actually, when I'm picking clothes, I don't like having someone serve me nearby. It makes me feel embarrassed. But since she asked, I couldn't help but answer.

"Um... do you have black stockings that are a bit thicker? The kind that's not see-through."

"Pure black ones? Without patterns?"

"Yes, pure black." I nodded firmly. Wearing patterned stockings on my legs is too embarrassing for me... I'm still not used to it.

Then, the shop assistant handed me a pair. Looking at the packaging, the deep black color made me, who was used to white, itchy. Should I have bought the right one this time? Both clothes and stockings need to go through a continuous trying-on process to know if they suit me or not.

"Are you buying them for yourself? Or for your mistress?"

My mistress...?

Is she referring to Lienchi?

My face blushed a little. How did I unconsciously start thinking like a maid? Why did I think of Lienchi as soon as I mentioned the word mistress? What is this...! But it's understandable that the shop assistant would ask me that, because I'm dressed as a maid. It's very likely that I'm buying things for my own mistress.

"I'm buying them for myself." I smiled lightly. Lienchi, a pseudo-boy like him, probably won't wear black stockings, right? I dare not even think about it.

"Huh?" She glanced at me. "I've never seen a guest who can make white stockings look so good. Do you want to pick a few more white ones?"

I'm a boy, and yet I was praised for looking good in white stockings. I really don't know if I should be happy or embarrassed...

But it's true that not everyone can pull off white stockings. If the leg shape is not slim enough, it will make the legs look short and thick.

"Then... give me that one." I pointed to the thin, almost translucent white stockings that I had just spotted with a glance.

"Yes! No problem!" The shop assistant said with a smile.

"By the way, do you have something like what I'm wearing now? In black?" I pointed at the over-the-knee socks I had on my legs, feeling a bit awkward.

In fact, the over-the-knee socks I'm wearing are a set with the maid outfit. They have lace trim at the cuff, but I cut off the bow with scissors because I was embarrassed. So I weakly emphasized to the shop assistant, "Do not include bows and lace trim at the cuff, just plain over-the-knee socks will do."

The shop assistant elongated her tone. "One's dressing reveals their personality. You, as a customer, seem quite conservative on the inside."

Of course...I was extremely embarrassed.

After all, I am a boy.

But even if I were a real girl, my conservative personality wouldn't change.

I bought three pairs of black over-the-knee socks at once, as they can be matched with maid outfits for everyday wear. I also bought five pairs in total, including black stockings and thin white stockings. When I paid, I specifically asked the cashier to put them in a black bag for me. I didn't want to be seen on the street holding various types of stockings... It's too embarrassing.

The cashier handed me the packaged stockings and even added, "We have just introduced AA cup bras specially designed for small busts. Would you like to pick a few? The styles are super cute!"

I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it...!

It's too embarrassing, so I quickly escaped.

Wow... How did she figure out that I have a small bust? Is it professional observation? She's really sharp.

How annoying.

As I walked out of the store, I hesitantly turned around and looked back.

Should I really... not take another glance before leaving?

Although turning back would mean admitting that I have a small bust, it doesn't matter because I'm a boy after all. But time is running out, right? Lienchi asked me to go back before dinner.

Even the time to buy stockings was squeezed out - um, please don't think I took half a day off just to buy stockings for Lienchi...!

Please don't misunderstand me, I really just... happened to pass by and decided to buy them.

Anyway, there's no time to waste, I must hurry back. I'll come back and look at the AA cup bras another time... Maybe there will be more new styles then.

Hmm...! That's decided!

I left the store with the black shopping bag in my arms.
