The Tanaka Family Reincarnates

Chapter 293

Gigolo [Part 4]

“From Baronage young ladies to Marquisate widows, everyone wears silk underwear. I like to tease around while taking it off, so I can never be wrong about it. That texture is definitely silk. Well, the underwear varied from the Kingdom’s Palacian silk to the Empire’s products, so there are all sorts of qualities. Also, commoner children’s underwear has been either hemp or wool recently. I’ve rarely seen cotton…”

Because Joshua unexpectedly listened to the panty talk attentively, Carlos became more elaborative about his description.

“Eh? Young Master… Do you perhaps have an underwear fetish?”

“Hey, this information was never in the regular report.”

“Eh? No, well, I didn’t know you like undies that much, so… Eh? Do you want me to tell you about the colors and sizes I still remember? Or should I draw it for you?”

“That’s not necessary.”

“Eh? (…Catering to other people’s fetishes is hard, huh. Just what part of underwear is he into? Young Master, you don’t have to delve into such a niche at this age… This must be because of overworking..) Um, while we’re on this topic, please tell me this clearly for my future reference. Is the underwear that Young Master is curious about the upper one? Or is it the bottom one?”

“Of course, both top and bottom. Is that even a question?”

“I see, you love both top and bottom equally… Which means… you are the real deal, huh?”

“And, since when have people stopped wearing cotton underwear? Do the Empire’s people also make new underwear once a year?”

“Eh? No. As I said, cotton underwear was originally only worn by commoners. Nobles all wear silk ones, you know? It appears they also don’t change out of their underwear at once after the social season like in the Kingdom. The Empire’s silk product should last up to three months. On the other hand, Palacian silk can be used for more than a year. W-Well, I don’t know for sure how long the underwear can last because my relationship with a woman never survived for more than 2 years without getting caught for infidelity.”

Carlos started feeling scared because of Joshua’s solemn face, and his speed of speech also increased significantly and he began talking his head off about unnecessary things from the latter half of his speech.

I never expected Young Master to be a pervert who is this particular about his fetish. I’m all the more shocked as I have known him since he was little. Carlos saw Joshua in a new light.

“…How about the Church? Do you know the material of the nuns’ underwear?”

“O-O-Oh? N-No way! Such a thing…! No matter how much I love women, even I won’t make a move on nuns… Err… Okay, maybe I did. Yeah, about three of them. All three wore Palacian silk underwear and, surprisingly, had many in flashy colo—”

“I don’t care about the colors.”

“Ah? Ah, yes, right. I’m sorry.”

I have mingled with several perverts before, but I have never met someone this perverted. Seems like I still have a long way to go. Carlos admired the “real deal” sitting before him.

Joshua’s POV

I had vaguely noticed that the Church had spread the doctrine that underwear must be made of cotton for the Empire’s benefit. However, according to Carlos’ report, there was also a shortage of cotton in the Empire… I thought they only brought the coarse cotton fabric on purpose to inconvenience the Kingdom… Were they so running out of magic stones that they even had to skimp on the ones used for cultivating cotton?

A ship carrying the Imperial army and weapons was likely to appear at the Kingdom’s port much sooner than expected.

I only hope no danger befalls Emma-sama…

A war might break out for the very first time in this world… All these ominous signs made me let out a deep sigh.
