“What ridiculous thing have you done this time?”
The day after defeating the Creature Abandoned by God, Lize suddenly came to my room.
Her breasts, covered by an extremely thin white cloth, bounced vigorously with each step, directly reflecting their owner’s emotions.
Lize had an expression as if she was completely fed up.
“What I did wasn’t much different from my usual behavior. Why, did something happen?”
“Yes. A lot, in fact.”
Lize flopped onto the bed with disgust.
She grabbed the pillow from the headboard and hugged it tightly.
Her breasts, pressed against the pillow, bulged out to the sides.
It was a very confident action, showing no concern for my presence.
Naturally, I ended up sitting at her abdomen as she lay on her side looking at me.
“What exactly happened?”
“You know how the battle nuns from the Holy Kingdom are on standby nearby, saying to call them if we need anything, right?”
“I know. But why?”
“Since yesterday evening, no, exactly since you returned, Delta. It’s like they collectively ate something wrong – they’ve been way more fired up than usual. And what’s this about wanting to help change our clothes?”
“…They said they’d help change our clothes?”
I instinctively glanced down at Lize’s body.
A short sleeveless top revealing toned abs, and blue dolphin shorts that could pass for underwear.
‘In such attire?’
The knight commanders were wearing nothing but a sleeveless top and dolphin shorts each.
That was because they weren’t wearing underwear underneath.
Even if they changed carelessly, it would take at most 10 seconds to put on and take off such an outfit.
Honestly, it sounded absurd even to me that someone would offer to help change such clothes.
Well, the knight commanders’ awareness of clothing was strangely distorted, so their thinking probably wasn’t exactly the same as mine.
“What’s this, Delta? Are you interested in my clothes too? Want to try taking them off?”
Perhaps I had been thinking for too long, as Lize seemed to notice my gaze and smiled mischievously, tugging slightly at the chest of her sleeveless top.
The garment slid down, exposing her cleavage that was almost violently prominent and the upper part of her breasts bulging out from being pressed against the pillow.
I quickly averted my gaze to meet Lize’s eyes.
“That’s enough, just continue with your explanation.”
“Tch, you’re no fun.”
Lize pouted and let go of her top.
The pink protrusion that had been visibly poking out even through the cloth, on the verge of being exposed, disappeared behind the white sleeveless top.
I wondered if she would have really pulled it down all the way if I hadn’t stopped her.
“So then I had a hunch as I was finally sending the nuns away. Ah, Delta must have done something amazing in the Holy Kingdom again.”
In reality, it wasn’t just amazing, but I had resolved an issue that the fate of the Holy Kingdom hinged on.
However, there was no benefit in spreading information about that monster around.
It was enough for the knight commanders to have the level of understanding they currently had – that I had done something amazing again.
This wasn’t for my sake, but for the Popes’.
To explain the danger of the Creature Abandoned by God, I would inevitably have to mention the sacrifice that the Pope of the Moon had to make.
I couldn’t arbitrarily disclose such confidential information.
The Popes would have to speak about it directly or give permission for it to be shared.
“But why? Isn’t it convenient and nice to have someone help you change clothes?”
I deliberately smiled slightly and changed the subject.
It would be troublesome in many ways if she asked what exactly I had done to cause such a drastic change in the battle nuns’ attitudes.
“What nonsense are you talking about? It feels kind of weird to have someone else touch my body, you know?”
“But you’re always telling me to touch you.”
“Are you the same as those people, Delta?”
Saying that, Lize buried her face in my pillow and took a deep breath.
A loud inhaling sound was heard, and her slightly raised buttocks trembled.
It was quite an erotic sight.
I thought her buttocks might be exposed if she wasn’t careful.
No, knowing Lize, it wouldn’t be strange if she was intentionally acting this way to show me.
“Besides, we can change clothes just fine on our own.”
“Really?”
“What do you mean, ‘really’? Are you making fun of me?”
Lize looked at me with a pouting expression, then suddenly smiled mischievously as if she had thought of something fun.
It was the smile she usually showed when she was about to tease me.
“Alright. How about we make a bet?”
“A bet out of nowhere?”
“I’ll take off all my clothes now, and you bet on whether I can put them back on by myself. If I win, I get to order you to do whatever I want with me.”
“And if I win?”
“I’ll let you do whatever you want with me.”
With a playful smile, the shoulder strap of her sleeveless top began to slide down.
Her right arm lifted up as if she was really going to undress.
Her clean, spotless armpit was revealed.
It was a very explicit gesture.
Ever since I had confessed that it would be hard to control myself if we crossed the line, Lize had always tempted me like this, teetering on the edge of that line.
And I too could feel my patience reaching its limit more and more.
There was a time when I thought I had gotten used to it, but not anymore.
“Somehow it seems like the result is the same whether I win or lose.”
“Then it’s good either way, isn’t it?”
Lize grinned brightly.
I reached out and gently patted her head.
“Don’t say strange things. So why did you come to my room? Just to hang out? Or do you have something else to do?”
“Huh? Oh, right. I came because I had something to tell you. I forgot while fooling around with you, Delta.”
“You came in complaining about the battle nuns going crazy as soon as you opened the door, though?”
“I wanted to chat first since it’s been a while. And when did I say they went crazy? I said they were really fired up. Don’t say things that might cause misunderstandings.”
As if this situation, with her shoulder strap half down and armpit exposed, wasn’t one that could cause misunderstandings.
I removed my hand from patting her head.
Lize buried her face deep in the pillow and peeked up at me with just her eyes showing.
“Their Holinesses the Popes are holding a banquet. They say it’s the night after tomorrow?”
“A banquet? Their Holinesses?”
“Yeah. They especially want you to attend, Delta. Isn’t that nice? Their Holinesses personally inviting you to a banquet. Just what amazing thing did you do?”
Lize poked my side repeatedly with her finger.
When I caught her finger, she immediately interlocked her fingers with mine.
Our hands overlapped and clasped tightly.
Lize met my eyes and grinned, raising the corners of her mouth.
“Lize. So you were here after all.”
Suddenly, the door flung open.
With a brusque voice, someone with long silver hair fluttering behind them walked into the room.
It was Iris.
As soon as she entered, Iris froze in place upon seeing Lize’s half-lowered shoulder strap and our clasped hands.
Realizing that the situation she had been worried about hadn’t occurred yet, she resumed her steps.
“Oh, Iris? Why are you here?”
“…Why are you asking that instead of Delta?”
“That’s right. Why are you asking that instead of me?”
Come to think of it, this was my room.
Lize had acted so naturally as if it were her own room that even I had been momentarily confused.
Receiving our gazes, Lize smiled with her usual playfulness.
Iris shook her head and spoke again.
“Anyway, I came because I also have something to tell you. I was going to send Lize at first, but she never came down no matter how much time passed. Delta, I assume you heard from Lize about the banquet two nights from now?”
“I just heard about it.”
“It’s related to that. Can you come out to the lobby?”
“Now?”
“Claudia and Erica are waiting too. I’d appreciate it if you could hurry as much as possible.”
“Alright. I’ll be right there.”
After finishing her words, Iris gave Lize one last look before closing the door and leaving.
I also got up from the bed.
I didn’t know what it was about, but if they wanted me to come out, I should follow.
Lize, after burying her face in my pillow one last time and wriggling her body, neatly tidied up the bedding and got up to follow me.
I stared at her intently.
Feeling my gaze, Lize tilted her head.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“You just made my bed. It’s unexpected since you seem like someone who’s far from being tidy.”
“…Why are you saying the exact same thing as Erica?”
Lize grumbled but clung tightly to my right arm.
By now, I was so used to this that I didn’t feel any particular emotion.
Except for the soft sensation of her breasts against my arm.
I headed to the lobby, taking Lize with me as she moved almost as if dangling due to our considerable height difference.
The lobby was much busier than usual.
Claudia was the first to see me and waved her hand enthusiastically with a bright smile.
Erica, sitting next to her, greeted me by slightly bowing her head.
Stella and Selene were standing in front of them.
Stella and Selene silently looked at Lize, who was clinging tightly to my right arm, then bowed politely towards me.
“Have you arrived, esteemed guest?”
“Welcome, esteemed guest.”
Seeing their much more polite behavior compared to yesterday, the knight commanders shot sharp glances at me.
I tried to ignore those gazes and sat down on the nearby sofa.
“Now that everyone has gathered, we will begin. I assume you are all aware that Their Holinesses the Popes have invited you to the banquet to be held the night after tomorrow.”
The sharp gazes directed at me finally disappeared only after Selene began her explanation.
I inwardly sighed in relief after confirming that the four pairs of eyes were gone.
“Before that, have you decided how long you will be staying in the Holy Kingdom?”
“We plan to leave in four days at the latest.”
This was the conclusion reached after discussion with the knight commanders.
It meant we would be staying for just about a week, which would probably disappoint the Popes greatly, but there was a reason we needed to hurry back to the Empire.
Cecilia.
Cecilia, the Empress of the Aeternum Empire, was the issue.
Considering that Selene had personally gone to see the Empress before we headed to the Holy Kingdom, who knew what might happen if we stayed here any longer.
“I understand. Then, let’s get to the main point.”
Selene and Stella simultaneously turned their eyes to me.
As the knight commanders followed their gaze, this time a total of six pairs of eyes were looking at me.
“Regarding the banquet, would it be alright to make a request of you, esteemed guest?”
