Chapter 281

Chapter 281. Damn it, what is this, Commander! This drug! (1)

About three days later.

I had intended to keep the farewell party modest and small, but…

Suddenly, it turned into something resembling a festival, with all the old base personnel gathering, and I couldn’t help but feel a strange, indescribable sensation.

Of course, unlike me, Pirate Admiral Liran and Marian, the main guests of the farewell party, seemed quite pleased.

“Damn it, Commander Icarus, I really like you!”

“Hmm.”

“Woo-hahahaha!”

“I didn’t expect you to go this far for us, big bro. Thanks to you, I feel much better now.”

“Umm.”

<Glamorous Farewell Party>

<Content>

<Pirate Admiral 'Pirate Admiral Liran' is extremely grateful that you threw such a lively and glamorous farewell party for them.>

<Similarly, Marian is also very pleased with the 'rewards' you are giving to your subordinates.>

<Rewards>

<+10 Trust with the 'Pirate Alliance' faction>

<+10 Favorability with 'Pirate Admiral Liran', and a 5% discount on hiring mercenaries under this pirate admiral in the future (stackable)>

As I received these subtly sweet rewards, I could only nod in acknowledgment.

But honestly, the current scene was something I never could have imagined.

“Pour it, drink it!”

“Oh my, our pirate brothers are really something today, huh?”

“Wahahahaha!”

‘Hmm.’

I have no idea who did it, but what was supposed to be a simple farewell party with some eating and drinking…

Bunny girls.

And not just any bunny girls, but ones dressed in ‘reverse’ bunny outfits, covering only the essential parts, who suddenly appeared and took over a large hall in the base, turning it into a wild feast.

<Event>

<It Was Too Erotic to Be a Farewell Party>

<Content>

<The farewell party for the Pirate Alliance fleet is in full swing, reaching its peak.>

<Not only is there an abundance of delicacies, but the reverse bunny girls, barely covering their vital areas, are serving drinks and alcohol.>

<The injured are being treated for free in the base's medical room, including minor injuries and even hair loss.>

<The pirates of the fleet are singing your praises for giving them this dreamlike night.>

<Especially some of the younger pirates, who see this as a chance to lose their virginity rather than a bonding experience through naval camaraderie.>

<They are shedding tears of gratitude, vowing to repay your kindness someday.>

<Rewards>

<+10 Trust with the members of 'Pirate Admiral Liran's fleet, with some members gaining +50>

—————————————-

From the VIP lounge, I watched the wild feast… no, not that.

I looked down at the scene and turned to Jessica, who, despite having rabbit ears, wasn’t dressed as a bunny girl, and asked her a question.

“Jessica, this probably isn’t the case, but… did you plan this?”

“Of course not. If I had, I would’ve been the first to wear a reverse bunny outfit with a tail plug, wouldn’t I?”

‘What did she say she’d wear?’

I was momentarily startled by her last remark, but…

Despite her casual denial, I found myself nodding along with Jessica’s words, which naturally crossed the line of decency.

But all I got from that was confirmation that Jessica didn’t plan this.

The fundamental question of ‘So who did this?’ still left me scratching my head.

To resolve this question, I asked Jessica.

“Then who planned this?”

“Well… the people behind you right now, Commander.”

Following Jessica’s words, I slowly turned my head…

“Hohohoho, how is it, Commander? My perfect plan!”

“…”

“I didn’t agree to this, Commander.”

“Hmm.”

There they were, also dressed in reverse bunny outfits, standing proudly with their hands on their hips: Gryanarr, Pashtira, Oxianor, and Smeragi.

Each of them had their own unique way of covering their vital areas.

Well, it wasn’t that different. Pashtira and Gryanarr just stuck heart stickers on themselves.

Smeragi, on the other hand, had tiny stickers shaped like ‘cats.’

And Oxianor…

“Why, Commander…”

“Commander?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

The fact that the tentacles of the ‘bio-suit’ transformed into reverse bunnies made it look like a walking piece of adult content.

Thanks to that, I felt a bit confused for a moment, but once I managed to pull myself together…

‘Hmm, a perfect balance of protection.’

With a perfect 2:2 balance of plump and slender, I couldn’t help but nod in approval.

But the problem was, due to the ‘reverse bunny’ theme, all four of them were wearing rabbit ear headbands and tails…

“Ufufu♡ How do you like it, Commander? Our new look♡”

“I heard the Commander might like it, so I wore it, but it feels a bit colder than usual.”

“It’s a new outfit I made this time. It’s sturdier than most combat suits and can even be used in space.”

“…Hmm.”

Even setting aside the mad scientist’s tendency to over-engineer things…

When Pashtira and Smeragi spun around earlier to show off, I noticed the bunny ‘tail’ was slightly lower than what I know of bunny girls.

Given the reverse bunny theme, I couldn’t help but wonder how they were even wearing those.

At least for Smeragi and Oxianor, they either already had tails (ver. cat) or could just grow new ones, so it wasn’t a big deal.

But for Pashtira and Gryanarr, it was quite puzzling how they managed to attach those slightly lower ‘tails.’

Anyway, after stopping my thoughts at that point…

Seeing the superhumans—or rather, Gryanarr’s confident demeanor—I realized how a simple farewell party had turned into a jungle of chaos.

“Excellent, 100 points.”

“Of course, we deserve that score! It was tough making it in such a hurry!”

Despite causing all sorts of trouble usually, today they managed to bring some unexpected benefits.

‘I can’t resist a new skin.’

And maybe because I was unknowingly smiling at their appearance…

“Hey… can I get one of those too?”

“Huh? Oh, of course you can, but there’s one condition.”

“What is it?”

“First, we need to measure your body… and then…”

-Whisper whisper-

Marian, who was watching the situation from the side, naturally started trying to outdo Gryanarr in outfit creation.

‘…If I take a screenshot and post it in the gallery later, it might get a decent response.’

Maybe later, when users hold a costume contest, all sorts of bizarre and outlandish outfits will pop up.

“It’s a great outfit, but is that all you’ve prepared?”

“Unfortunately, Belial, Ignis, and Tiamat are too busy, so we haven’t measured them yet.”

“I see…”

“Jessica hasn’t been measured either, so we couldn’t make hers.”

“Is that so…”

“So, if the Commander wants, could you lend us a moment to measure everyone?”

I decided to go along with Gryanarr’s plan to dress all the remaining superhumans in reverse bunny skins.

“Just out of curiosity, does it cost a lot of resources?”

“Not at all, it’s clearly a costume that uses very little fabric.”

“…Now that I think about it, that makes sense.”

In the midst of this, I asked about the price, remembering the ‘skins’ from past games, and got a puzzled look from Gryanarr.

I realized that even though this place is controlled by the system, some things are still grounded in ‘reality,’ which made me feel strangely amused.

But regardless, if Gryanarr puts in the effort, all the superhumans I have will get a full set of reverse bunny skins.

“Commander, I heard you called for me… is it because of that?”

“Ehh, isn’t that a bit too revealing?”

“…Isn’t it a bit hypocritical for someone who usually goes commando to say that?”

“Can I really join in too?”

“Of course, it wouldn’t be fair if everyone else gets one and you don’t.”

I decided to send Belial, Tiamat, Ignis, and Jessica, who had just finished their tasks, to Gryanarr to get their skins.

And after sending everyone off like that, I finally had some leisurely time with the bearded old man for a manly year-end party.
