After finishing the bowl of soup under the gaze of Lizé, who was watching me with a very ominous-looking smile, she grabbed my hand and pulled me up, saying it was time to go to the reception room.

“Where are the others?”

“They’re doing their own things. You’re the last one. We woke up a long time ago.”

Indeed, it wouldn’t be surprising at all if the others had woken up long ago.

In the end, I was the only one who got drunk to the point of losing consciousness after drinking so much alcohol last night.

However, it was quite unexpected that Aurora was fine.

It was understandable for the knight commanders, as they were incredibly sturdy individuals, but Aurora was just an ordinary person, and yet she was fine after drinking a similar amount as me.

Filled with questions, I moved my steps and arrived at the reception room.

Lizé vigorously opened the door.

Inside, Aurora was sitting on the sofa in an elegant posture, sipping tea.

“…?”

While wearing the so-called “elegant mature look” dress.

There was no way I was seeing it wrong.

It was definitely the dress she had worn at the banquet yesterday.

It clung tightly to her body, fully exposing her chest and armpits, and the panty lines were still not visible.

As I was trying to sort out my thoughts, wondering what on earth was going on, Aurora opened her mouth with a slight smile.

“You woke up later than I thought. The sun is already high in the sky. Was it too intense last night?”

“…What?”

Her words made my thoughts stop as if I had been hit with a hammer, but seeing the smile that appeared on her face, I immediately realized it was a joke.

Just as I expected, Aurora soon put down the teacup on a small plate, along with the words that it was a joke.

Led by Lizé’s hand, I sat on the sofa opposite Aurora.

The person who had seated me here naturally sat right next to me, sticking close.

Seeing that, Aurora’s eyebrows twitched for a moment.

I didn’t mind Lizé doing this to me as it wasn’t the first or second time. And what was important right now wasn’t the fact that Lizé was clinging to me.

“Why are you wearing that outfit again, Lady Aurora?”

“Hmm?”

Aurora lowered her head and looked down at her clothes.

Her chest was fully exposed to the point of revealing the side and underside of her breasts.

The waist that clung tightly to her body, revealing her navel line.

The hips that clearly showed she wasn’t wearing underwear.

No matter how you looked at it, it was the dress she had worn for the banquet yesterday.

“That’s the dress you wore yesterday, isn’t it? The banquet ended a long time ago, didn’t it?”

“…I was wondering what you were talking about, but it seems you’re greatly misunderstanding something. You need to improve your knowledge of clothes a bit more.”

Aurora chuckled.

“The dresses I’ve been wearing until now were just randomly taken from my wardrobe. This one was specially custom-made along with the banquet dress. I can’t just wear the clothes that pig bastard bought, you know? It was also a bit too plain to show dignity as a lord. I appreciate you recognizing that I got new dresses made, but your insight is a bit lacking.”

‘…What did I just hear?’

I had to desperately manage my expression so that the emotions I was feeling didn’t show on my face.

In my opinion, the dresses she had worn so far were much more suitable for the dignity and elegance of a lord.

That was just a sex appeal dress designed by the modders to turn people on.

However, Aurora seemed to feel the exact opposite.

She genuinely thought that the dress, which was so revealing that her nipples might pop out at any moment, was for the sake of dignity and prestige.

‘I think I roughly understand the reason she’s doing this.’

In the game, Aurora’s attire changed some time after she became the lord.

I thought it was fortunate that her old clothes were intact, but it turned out that this was the problem.

The reason the banquet dress was also in the form of an “elegant mature look” one-piece was simply due to the influence of model recycling.

“Oh, you’re really awake?”

“As Iris said. How did you know?”

“It was a hunch.”

While I was dumbfounded, watching Aurora sensually crossing her legs back and forth as if wondering what I thought of her gaze, the door opened and the rest of the knight commanders entered in a line.

They weren’t wearing the see-through slips with garter belts and lingerie combinations like yesterday, but their usual white sleeveless tops and dolphin shorts in the colors of their respective hair.

‘Yeah, that’s much better.’

I inwardly sighed in relief, realizing that the sleeveless tops and dolphin shorts now looked like fairy outfits in comparison, and that I had something else to focus my eyes on.

The combination they wore at the banquet hall was really difficult to endure in many ways.

As six people gathered, the reception room, which had been quiet, became lively in an instant.

To be precise, it was because Lizé and Claudia were chattering noisily.

If those two were absent and only Aurora, Erica, Iris, and I remained, there would be little difference whether there were four or two of us.

“Well then, shall we stop the small talk here?”

The lively atmosphere changed 180 degrees at Aurora’s words.

Gazes filled the void left by the disappearance of sound.

Five pairs of eyes were solely focused on me.

It was a slightly eerie sight.

“…Why do you all have those expressions?”

“We were wondering how much of yesterday’s events you remember. But it seems you don’t remember everything. At best, only up to the middle?”

“……”

I couldn’t give any answer to Lizé’s words.

In fact, my memory had been cut off from the middle.

Actually, Lizé had probably already noticed that I didn’t have much memory of last night at the point when I answered her question with a question.

Her behavior was childish, but her actual abilities were not inferior to the other knight commanders at all.

“Well, in the end, we didn’t get much out of you either.”

“…?”

An unexpected statement came out of Iris’s mouth.

They couldn’t get anything out of me even though my memory was cut off?

Did I not only have my memory cut off but I actually fell asleep?

“Half of it was our fault, and half of it was Lizé’s fault.”

“Half of it was Lizé’s fault?”

I pushed away Lizé, who was clinging to my arm, and asked the question.

What on earth did she do?

The five of them couldn’t find any clever solution.

The newbie had firmly shut his mouth, and if they made him drink more alcohol here, his mind wouldn’t crumble but he would clearly pass out.

Even now, it was a precarious situation where they wondered if he might suddenly fall asleep.

Judging by the way he periodically swayed his body, it seemed he could do so at any moment if he wanted to sleep.

In the end, it meant they had to find a way to make him open his mouth without making him drink more alcohol or letting him fall asleep in this state, but such a method wasn’t easy to come up with.

“That’s quite unexpected of you, Lizé.”

“Hmm? What is?”

Iris stared blankly at Lizé and Aurora, who were trying to fill their hearts’ content by occupying the seats on either side of the newbie and touching various parts of his face, and then dropped a remark.

“I thought you would definitely not miss this opportunity. I expected you to even suggest using your wiles on the newbie.”

Although the newbie usually endured Lizé’s seduction well, this time was different.

From the moment he was thought to be drunk, he blatantly stared at Lizé’s breasts, and not only that, he also sneakily observed the dress attire of the other knight commanders and Aurora.

It wasn’t a bad feeling to be looked at with such eyes by the newbie, so they had left him alone, but if another man had sent the same gaze, he would have grown a lump the size of his own head on the top of his head.

Or perhaps one of his bones would have been shattered.

In such a situation, it could be considered natural to think that Lizé would seduce the newbie with her body as usual.

Of course, if there were any signs of her actually doing so, Erica and Iris would stop her immediately.

“Ah, that?”

Lizé confidently stretched her shoulders.

Aurora, right next to her, had eyes that seemed to say, “What is she going to say now?”

“It wouldn’t feel real. If I seduced the newbie now, he would naturally fall for it. But what would be the point of that? That’s not what I want.”

Iris tilted her head.

Seeing that, Lizé continued her explanation as if saying, “You don’t know anything.”

“What I want is for a man who was weaker than me at first but had outstanding potential to suddenly grow up one day and overwhelm me in every aspect, pressing me down. The feeling of being overpowered that comes from that difference is what’s important. The very moment when the newbie realizes that I, who seemed strong enough to handle everything in the world at first, am nothing more than a mere female. Do you understand?”

“……”

“……”

“……”

“……”

“……”

Silence filled the banquet hall.

Not only Iris, who had asked the question, but also Aurora right next to her, and even Erica and Claudia, who had been seriously discussing what method to use to make the newbie open his mouth, were frozen in place, shocked by the confession of such a fetish.

“But that can’t happen if he’s drunk, right? The feeling of being overpowered disappears, and only instincts remain. So naturally, I have to take a step back. I have to wait for the perfect moment.”

“Lizé, you really are…”

Iris muttered as if dumbfounded.

She had heard a little before that Lizé’s taste was slightly unique, but she never imagined it would be this firm.

“Are you in your right mind, sister? That’s something you should just keep to yourself. Why do we need to know what kind of sexual orientation you have? What sin have we committed to hear that right in front of us?”

Erica fired off complaints like a machine gun.

She had a genuinely dumbfounded face.

It was understandable, as she had just witnessed her own sister revealing her sexual preferences right in front of her.

“Iris asked, didn’t she?”

“I didn’t think you would reveal your taste in such a way. Isn’t it too much to blame this situation on me?”

“What’s wrong with that?”

Lizé laughed sweetly and poked the newbie’s cheek with her finger.

The others were just staring at that sight with eyes filled with all sorts of complicated emotions.

“Why do I need to know what sexual orientation my colleague has?”

Claudia muttered softly.

It was something everyone here could relate to.

“……”

“…?”

Iris was about to say something but stopped, blushing and trembling.

She looked around.

Erica, Claudia, and Aurora had similar reactions.

Only Lizé was acting normally.

“No, what happened while I was asleep to make you react like that?”

“…I don’t want to recall it.”

‘What on earth did she do?’

Since everyone’s reaction was like that except for Lizé, it was clear that she had done something, but Iris didn’t seem to want to talk about it, so there was no way for me to know.

“Ahem, hmm. Anyway, while time dragged on, you ended up falling asleep, and naturally, the opportunity to reveal your secret was lost. The only thing we deduced was that you know far more than we thought. That’s all.”

Iris added with a fake cough.

She seemed to think it was a failure, but in fact, that alone was quite a significant achievement.

The fact that I currently know much more. And the fact that I’m hiding some secret.

If they had figured out those two points, it could be considered half a success.

“However, our job ends here. If it’s something you’re so adamantly reluctant to talk about, it would be rude of us to press you further.”

“Really?”

“Instead, may I ask one more thing?”

Iris’s expression turned serious.

I also tensed up, wondering what she was going to ask.

After a brief pause, Iris opened her mouth.

“Is the secret you’re holding something you can eventually share with us?”

“Of course. I will definitely do that.”

I reflexively nodded as soon as I heard Iris’s question.

There was no need to think about the answer.

Although I didn’t know the exact timing of when it would be, I definitely planned to do so.

“Is that so? That’s enough then.”

Iris slightly lifted the corners of her mouth at my answer.

Aurora, Erica, and Claudia also seemed somewhat satisfied with my response.

“Wait, I still have something to say.”

Lizé abruptly interjected.

I looked at Lizé, wondering what she was going to say.

“We thought about it after taking you to your room last night. No matter how much you’ve forgotten your name, we can’t keep calling you ‘newbie’ forever, right?”

Come to think of it, that was true.

After answering that I had forgotten my name due to the curse, I had been consistently referred to as “newbie” without a proper name.

I had just let it slide as I got used to it.

“That’s true. So?”

“You still don’t remember your name, right?”

I nodded.

I didn’t want to use the name I had before being possessed here.

I felt reluctant and cringed at the thought of my Korean name being called here.

“We have one in mind. What do you think?”

Judging by the way she said “we,” it seemed they had all come up with a name together.

Since there was no harm in listening, I patiently waited for Lizé’s next words.

“Delta. It means ‘change’ in old language. Since you’re bringing change to us, it’s a perfect name, isn’t it?”

‘Delta?’

For some reason, it reminded me of something walking around in a deep-sea city, wearing a diving suit and holding a drill.
