Josak x Yuuri

"War preparation. It's war preparation."

With the same hand that he used to brush his hair back, Josak unbuttoned his front.

"War preparation… Eh, no way, Gurrie-chan…"

"Huh, what is it, Young Master? Why are you looking away?"

"Well, because normally you wouldn't think you didn't have any on, right!?"

"You're the one who said you wanted to see, Young Master. Gurrier is going to be hurt~."

With a firm hand contrary to his words, he grabbed Yuuri by the scruff of the neck as he tried to run away.

"Let go, Josak! I don't want to see that! I don't want to see! What I wanted to see wasn't the real thing but the underwear! The underwear!"

"Like I said, I'll show you. Please don't be modest."

"Stooooop!"

"Well then, here, I could also wrap something up for you between this cloth and my hips, you know. Hm?"

"Even if there's a banana in the sack you don't put pants on without underwear!" Yuuri yelled after somehow getting out of the bodyguard's grip. His shoulders were heaving. "You told me you weren't wearing noble underwear or commoner underwear but military underwear and I said that I just wanted to see what that looked like! B-b-but seeing something like that wouldn't just be damaging, it's downright traumatic!"

Josak arranged his front with a disappointed look and covered up his navel and the skin below. He clicked his tongue in a rude way in front of his master.

"And what exactly had you imagined?"

At that, the young lord's eyes wandered about and he scratched his head in an embarrassed way.

"Well, I… women's clothes are part of Gurrie-chan's arsenal so I thought it might be a bit girlier…"

"Oh, then you imagined a Gurrier in ladies' underwear, didn't you!? Wow, Young Master, you chubby pervert!"

"At least say 'closet pervert' instead…"

"I'll give you a straightforward answer."

Deceived by his tone of voice, Yuuri's face unconsciously turns serious. However, the topic of the conversation was, in fact, underwear.

"It's war preparation."

"Y-you're going to fight?"

"Exactly. Low-ranked soldiers like us are on the front lines a lot. We never know when we're going to leave this world. Therefore, if we luckily survive, getting to see your wife or your desired partner, if only for a little while, is a life and death matter. We have to risk our lives to court them so we're always in war preparation. If we have the opportunity, we go right into courtship. In times like those, unfashionable underwear would just get in the way."

"W-whoa."

It was a joke, of course. But this sixteen year old who was unfamiliar with the lives of soldiers didn't know enough to doubt it.

"Also, in order to take care of our business easier, we leave out as much clothing as possible. We have to finish as quickly as possible. Think about it. It takes time to pull down your underwear and I don't want to get stabbed from behind in the meantime."

"Eee~"

"On top of all that, if you happened across an enemy, having to fight them with your underwear down is stupid… What's wrong, Young Master? Your Majesty?"

"Gurrie-chan." With a slightly bad pallor, Yuuri looked up and placed both of his hands on Josak's shoulders. "You don't have to worry about that anymore."

"… Huh?"

"I won't make you have to deal with life and death bathroom breaks on the battlefield and… um, well making love right when you meet anymore. I'll work hard to make sure we don't go to war with any other countries."

To think he got so serious just talking about men's underwear.

"But wearing underwear is better. You know, thinking from a hygiene perspective! Right?"

After having his hand squeezed and being preached to like that, all Josak could do was nod slack-jawed.

He can't say it. He absolutely can't tell this naïve king that not wearing underwear was only his individual preference.
