A top that barely concealed the nipples and the underside of the breasts, leaving everything else exposed. Bottoms cut high on the leg, almost to the point of being a high-leg leotard.

Outerwear so tight it clung to the skin like a vacuum seal, revealing every curve and contour, even the indentation of the navel. High heels that forced the wearer onto their tiptoes.

And a pair of bunny ears perched atop the head.

“…….”

The uniforms the Vice-Commanders presented were bunny girl outfits.

And rather revealing ones at that.

The knight chosen to model the uniform stood stiffly, but showed no signs of embarrassment.

Just like with the white tank top and dolphin shorts, or the sports bra and leggings combination, it was simply a uniform to her.

“After much deliberation, we have designed this uniform with a focus on practicality, with a touch of flair.”

‘Practicality?’

I barely suppressed a laugh.

Practicality?

Well, perhaps it was practical in the sense that a stunningly beautiful woman in a bunny girl outfit, her ample breasts jiggling with every movement, could be a distraction to male opponents.

They would be too preoccupied to notice her attacks.

‘Though, perhaps not the men of this world.’

This was a world where sheer blouses and crop tops with hot pants were considered normal attire. I had yet to see a man become flustered by a woman’s clothing.

I was only able to maintain my composure because I had already experienced the Holy Kingdom’s… unique fashion sense. Otherwise, I would have lost control of my expression long ago.

I wanted to reject the design, but I had no justification. They had initially deferred to me.

I had practically forced them to design the uniforms themselves, and now, after they had gathered input from the entire order, created a sample, and presented it to me, I would reject it for being… inappropriate?

I would be furious if I were in their shoes. While the bunny girl outfit was absurd to me, it was likely perfectly normal attire to them.

‘But I can’t give them the men’s uniforms.’

In this world, men’s and women’s clothing were strictly segregated. A man wearing women’s clothing, or vice versa, would be considered insane.

That was why the men’s attire was so “normal.” The modders had largely left it untouched.

Considering the target audience of these mods, it was an understandable decision.

While the formal uniforms had received some stylish updates, that was the extent of the changes.

This was why I couldn’t impose my sense of normalcy on the Dark Starry Night Knights.

While they would obey my orders, I didn’t want them to be ridiculed because of me.

Since men’s clothing was unsuitable for women, and women’s clothing was… this, I had opted for a compromise. The result, as I could see, was less than ideal.

I resigned myself to my fate.

“……Fine. I understand. And what’s this? Are there any special requests?”

“Are you not aware of our order’s structure, Commander?”

“I am.”

Unlike the Silver Dawn Knights, where the Knight Commander directly oversaw the knights, the Golden Twilight Knights, with their larger numbers, had Vice-Commanders to create an additional layer of hierarchy.

I had decided to retain this structure.

Eliminating it would only cause confusion, and the order needed a clear chain of command in my absence.

“These are variations for distinguishing rank.”

My ears perked up at the word “variations.” I unfolded the paper on the desk and froze.

It contained drawings of six different bunny girl outfits.

A bunny girl in standard thigh-high black stockings.

A bunny girl in black stockings that reached the hips.

A bunny girl in thigh-high black fishnet stockings.

A bunny girl in fishnet stockings that reached the hips.

A bunny girl with bare legs.

And finally…

‘…A reverse bunny?’

A reverse bunny girl, a style that had briefly been popular online even before I was transported to this world.

While she wore something resembling underwear on her lower body, her nipples were covered with star-shaped stickers.

“……What is this?”

I pointed a trembling finger at the reverse bunny drawing.

Lakscia puffed out her chest, a proud expression on her face.

“This is a special uniform exclusively for the Vice-Commanders. We need to be distinguishable from the regular knights.”

I struggled to maintain a neutral expression.

Any strong reaction would be misinterpreted as disapproval of the designs.

While I did disapprove…

I forced myself to focus on something else, my gaze settling on the knight modeling the uniform, who stood rigidly at attention.

Seizing the opportunity to change the subject, I asked,

“When did you make this? It doesn’t seem like it took long. Did you prepare it in advance?”

“It’s just a rough approximation. We have a few knights who are skilled with needlework.”

‘Is creating a uniform really something that can be accomplished with just “skillful needlework”?’

I examined the bunny girl knight more closely. The “rough approximation” wasn’t an exaggeration. The workmanship was… questionable.

The stitching around the bust area was clearly visible, the top looking as if it might slip off at any moment. The fabric around her stomach was stretched taut, threatening to tear.

The high-leg cut of the bottoms was also slightly off-center, shifted to the left. Beneath it, I could see the curve of her—

“Hic.”

The sound of a hiccup snapped me out of my trance.

I had stared for too long.

I glanced at the knight, who was now bright red, fidgeting uncomfortably. Surprisingly, the Vice-Commanders remained impassive.

They were more composed than I expected.

“Ah, sorry. Did I stare too much?”

“N-no… I-it’s fine.”

Despite her words, her face continued to redden. She looked as if she might faint, so I dismissed her.

The bunny girl knight, with the characteristic hip-swaying gait common to all the women in this world, exited the room.

True to the bunny girl theme, she even had a fluffy tail attached near her tailbone.

“You can leave now. If there are any adjustments, make them yourselves. Submit the final budget to me once it’s finalized.”

I forced a smile, handing back the paper with the bunny girl variations. Lakscia carefully tucked it away.

No one commented on my increasingly casual tone. They had noticed, but it wasn’t important enough to disrupt the current atmosphere.

Maintaining a dignified tone was incredibly difficult. Trying to do so would only result in tangled speech and a complete loss of authority.

“Understood, Commander. Please rest well.”

After the Vice-Commanders departed, I leaned back in my chair with a sigh.

It seemed I would be surrounded by bunny girls and reverse bunny girls for the foreseeable future.

Perhaps the white tank tops and dolphin shorts would have been preferable.

The castle had no food.

It had only contained the meat soup and bread the former lord had provided for the Silver Dawn Knights, essentially telling them to eat and be cursed. There wasn’t even a proper pantry.

The Vice-Commanders were clearly troubled by this discovery, but I had a simple solution.

“Here.”

More money.

The money Aurora had given me for my journey to the Holy Kingdom remained untouched in the castle’s storage.

I hadn’t needed to spend any money in the Holy Kingdom, and after returning to the territory, I had been too preoccupied with preparing for the audience with the Empress.

So I kept a small portion for myself and distributed the rest.

The knights’ eyes lit up at the sight of the gold coins, and even the Vice-Commanders seemed impressed.

Some of the knights even jokingly pledged their undying loyalty with exaggerated gestures. The power of money was undeniable. The slightly tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.

‘Well, I don’t need to worry about money.’

I could sell the information about the ancient scrolls to Minerva and be showered with gold.

While it felt a little like being a kept man, I could also ask the Popes for assistance.

And with Aurora’s offer of support, worrying about finances was pointless.

“Are you there, My Lady?”

After sending the knights to the city with money for supplies and warning the guards not to be alarmed by the new uniforms, I went to Aurora’s mansion and knocked on the door.

The maids, including Lana, didn’t question my presence, greeting me respectfully.

“Come in. It’s open.”

I entered the room.

Aurora sat at her usual large desk by the window.

She glanced at me, setting down the documents she had been reading.

“You’re earlier than I expected. Are you finished already?”

“There was nothing in the castle to begin with. There was nothing to organize.”

“That’s true. With that magic, it must have been empty. It would have been faster to choose what little remained than to try and organize it.”

I handed her the list of supplies.

Aurora scanned it briefly, placing it on the corner of her desk.

“I can resolve the food situation within two days, but what will you do until then? Let me know if you need money. I can give you as much as you need.”

Aurora was speaking under the assumption that the magic on the castle had been removed. I hadn’t told her about it. She must have deduced it from the supply list.

As expected of the NPC renowned for her competence in the game, her observation skills were sharp.

“I don’t need any money. I already gave them plenty.”

“Plenty? Where would you get the money… Ah, the money I gave you for the Holy Kingdom?”

“Yes. I didn’t need to use it. It was practically untouched.”

“Good. You’re being frugal. You’re supposed to use the money you’re given. What’s the point of hoarding it?”

Aurora leaned back in her chair, stretching with a soft moan. The movement exposed her smooth underarms and accentuated her breasts.

She settled back into her chair, then abruptly sat up, as if remembering something. Her breasts jiggled with the sudden movement.

“So, Delta, what are you going to do now?”

Her golden eyes, like Cecilia’s, shone with a predatory gleam.
