Chapter 107 – At the Celebration.

“Oh, everyone’s clothes are flimsy.”

Before heading to the banquet hall, Tia Ran was once again impressed by the sight of the Anises who had gathered with her group.

“Ugh, this is my first time doing something like this… How is it?”

“Heung♪ What do you think? It’s my masterpiece?”

Crusha met his gaze, dyed it as red as her own hair, and played with the hem of her dress, while Lucia puffed out her breasts as if she were proud of it.

“Mongmi is so big!”

“… Look at Krusha, not my breasts!!”

Lucia didn’t seem to understand Tiaran’s words this time, but he seemed to have noticed with his gaze and glared with pointed eyes.

“Still, I have to praise the person who caught my eye. It’s always been that way, but she’s even prettier now.”

Lucia was wearing a flowy dress in an aquamarine tone that matched her hair well and was short in the front and long and long like a tail in the back.

Her usual uniform-like attire brought out her beauty well, but her dress, like the dress, highlighted her ladylike charm.

“Hi?! Ah, uh, thank you.”

She covered her blushing face with both hands, as if she hadn’t expected the compliment to come back.

“Of course, Hwaryongjungjeon is dreamy!”

Lucia’s dress wasn’t very revealing, but since her owner had such a hot body, her dress boasted destructive power just by showing off her cleavage.

“I was a fool for expecting it!!”

In the end, while Lucia was looking away with a distressed expression, Crusha approached and pulled the hem of his clothes.

“Woo, me? What am I like?”

Krusha looked up at her emerald eyes and looked down at her with her chin resting on her cheek as if thinking for a moment about her young jealousy. She swallowed her saliva and tensed.

“Even if you don’t press it too hard, I know you’re big.”

“Big…? Oh!? Hey, I didn’t do that on purpose!”

She blushed and backed away, perhaps realizing belatedly that she had been pressing her breasts against Tiaran.

“Did you choose the dress well? It’s cute and sexy!”

Because of her small size, Krusha wore a rich dress that matched her youthful appearance, reminiscent of a doll, but even so, she could not hide the sexiness of her voluptuous curves.

“Now, higher, higher!”

“Wait! Go, it tickles!”

Thanks to her protective instinct, Tia Ran put her hands in both of her armpits and raised them high while playing, and this time Anis came into her sight.

However, she stood slightly behind so that Lucia and Crusha could not see her, and all that was visible was one action.

Her softness lifted the hem of her dress slightly. Anise’s dress was black to match the length of her knees and the ring she was wearing, but what caught her eye was her underwear of the same color.

“Oh.”

However, Tiaran could not help but be caught by the underwear. That’s because the underwear was already made of a transparent material, but some kind of liquid that only they knew about had leaked out, making it so wet that the mound was clearly visible.

Tiaran summarized the entire evaluation by showing Anis’s lecherous smile and a thumbs up.

“Is it really okay to eat all of this?”

“How many times do I say that?”

As its name suggests, the celebration included a buffet filled with all kinds of delicacies. Thanks to this, Crusha’s eyes were busy watching the feast of foods she would normally not eat, but she could not move her hands.

“But it feels like everyone is looking at us…”

It was no wonder that so many eyes, along with curiosity, were pouring towards Tiaran’s companions. Lucia wasn’t that unfamiliar with this kind of gaze, though.

It wasn’t unfamiliar, but…

“Why on earth are you wearing a helmet?!”

The problem was that the cause was not simply their status or appearance.

“I told you to wear a tailcoat, but I didn’t tell you not to take off your helmet!”

Tiaran dressed up in her banquet suit as Lucia requested, but she was wearing a helmet as usual.

“You were obviously naked before entering the banquet hall!?”

The bigger question was that when Lucia checked his attire before entering the banquet hall, she was not wearing a helmet.

“Hands are faster than eyes!”

“That’s ridiculous! I’m sure I checked all the places I could hide it!”

No matter how much she thought about it, she wrapped her head around an incomprehensible mystery, but the answer was simpler than she thought.

‘Did I do well?’

‘Of course!’

He had left his helmet with Anise until just before entering the banquet hall. So it was natural that she couldn’t find Tiaran’s helmet.

Lucia would never have imagined it. Anis declared that she would become his sole property and swore to herself that she would grant any request made by Tiaran.

‘I have to give you another award later♡’

Of course, all of this was possible because Anis had feelings of love for him. After he said he would become her hero instead, Anise started giving him a look that bordered on obsession.

‘Love is heavy.’

As the banquet began, attention was focused on Tiaran and the girls wearing helmets. Because of this, Krusha is unable to take even a single step easily due to her tension.

“You seem to be enjoying it quite a bit.”

It was Sizak, the host of the banquet, who appeared in front of them and brightened the mood.

“Thank you for the invitation, Margrave Sorrent.”

When Lucia lightly held the hem of her dress and bowed her head as he bowed to her, she noticed a look in his eyes.

“Were you a nobleman?”

“Right now I’m just working as an adventurer.”

Sizak seemed to think that she was like many of her nobles who had been pushed down or lowered in rank in her line of succession. Of course, it wasn’t wrong, so Lucia didn’t deny it.

“Did Stalin come?”

“… You’re the one who invited me to the banquet! Be polite!”

Anis and Crusha followed Lucia’s lead and bowed their heads, but Tiaran did not even think about bowing her head and instead pointed at her by poking her waist with her fingertips. Br〉

“It’s okay. I’ve already been in big trouble because of the monsters, and it wouldn’t look good for a hero to lower his head carelessly.”

But it was Sizak who dissuaded her. Even though Lucia was confused, she realized and glanced at Tiaran.

‘Are you really planning to become a warrior in place of Anis?!’

She was shocked, but she didn’t think it would really happen, so she was shocked. Sizak was checking Tiaran’s outfit with his chin.

“Anyway, that’s a unique outfit. I heard a rumor that he doesn’t take off his armor. Is there really a reason why he can’t show his face?”

‘Right! Helmet!’

Lucia sighed and touched her forehead. Out of concern for this situation, he monitored her so that she could not use even her armor or helmet. He had already spent it and came in, so there was nothing he could do about it.

“Not bad. Do you think a hero prepares for contingencies even at a banquet like this?”

“… Yes?”

She was nervous, not knowing what Sizak would hear, but when she received an unexpectedly positive response, Lucia froze.

“Oh, how do you think we’ll get along so well? The knight takes off his armor just for the banquet!”

“That’s right. A knight must be prepared to go into battle in any situation!”

When they realized that they had the same thoughts, the sight of them holding each other’s hands made Lucia forget her pain and open her mouth.

“I thought Sizak had started it again…”

“Surely Hero agrees with Sizak’s thoughts? Now?”

“That’s ridiculous. Hero’s thoughts are the same as Sizak’s?!”

Fortunately, she wasn’t the only one who was shocked by their behavior. Thanks to that, she was able to quickly come to her senses.

“At least if you are holding an important event like a banquet, the escorting knights should be properly armed!”

“And what if a dead person falls from the guard knight’s sword?”

“What should I do? It’s important to make the standards for the escort knights strict, but it’s also a good idea to pay a lot of money and give more punishment if an emergency occurs!”

You can’t help but come to your senses when you see Sizak listening with interest to Tiaran’s explanation that cash-strapped knights will do their own thing if you promise a high return, so-called high risk, high return.

“When did you think of such a plan?!”

What was even more bizarre was that even to Lucia, it seemed quite realistic. Unlike the romantic image that often circulates in social circles, knights were, with some exceptions, a money-strapped profession.

Armor itself is an expensive item, but in the grand scheme of things, it is also a consumable item. Maintenance costs are also significant. Therefore, even though knights are nobles, the majority work under other nobles or lords.

“From long ago!”

“That’s quite an interesting story. Do you have any similar plans? I’d like to hear about it.”

Lucia had no idea that Tiaran and Sizak could communicate so well.

“Oh my god. I can’t believe I can have a conversation like that with that Sizak. Who is this hero of this team?”

Fortunately among the misfortunes, Sizak seemed to be considered quite an eccentric among the nobles.

“Uh huh, this guy. For free?”

“I pay the price often.”

I don’t know if I should consider this fortunate.
