The morning of the exhibition, which was both eagerly anticipated and feared for a long time, has dawned.
Although the exhibition was hastily arranged like crossing a wobbly bridge, thanks to the numerous resources and personnel invested by the empire, it has been prepared to some extent. Furthermore, the exhibition itself is not in the form of viewing works in a quiet building, but rather in the form of a festival.
In an empty land, a separate space was designated for exhibiting artworks, and apart from that, residents could simply enjoy themselves. In addition, there were planned music and theater performances that could be considered highlights in the evening, so during the day, visitors could enjoy the displayed artwork while strolling around the land.
“How does it look? Does it fit well?”
This was before the festival started, after all the preparations had been made, inside the mansion. I couldn’t help but admire Marie, who was dressed up for the occasion. She looked beautiful in her white dress.
Her shoulders were completely exposed, while her chest was slightly revealed, and the white dress emphasized her milky skin even more. The overall appearance was simple with very few flashy patterns, and the hemline barely reached her knees. As a result, her slender and graceful legs were completely exposed, stealing everyone’s attention.
If the dress she wore at the previous event made Marie look more mature, the dress she was wearing now made her girlishness increase twofold. They say that women’s transformations are innocent, but with such a transformation, any man would have to declare her innocent.
‘Wow, is this really my girlfriend?’
It was to the point where one would doubt reality that such a pretty woman could really be their girlfriend. This meant that Marie was exceptionally beautiful.
Moreover, not only was she beautiful, but her personality was also outstanding. From her white hair with a hint of blue, to her milky skin and her jewel-like blue eyes, she was beautiful and lovable to the extent that no one else could replace her.
I watched Marie in silence for a while, waiting for a response, before blurting out my honest impression.
“You’re pretty.”
“That’s it?”
“When describing a woman who looks like a pure, white snow falling from the sky, I think I can use you as a reference.”
“What’s that supposed to mean? That sounds like something a novelist would say.”
Marie blushed at my compliment, looking a little shy but not displeased. I took a good, long look at her, trying to commit her image to memory even though I couldn’t capture it in a picture or painting.
“Isn’t it embarrassing to stare like that?”
“You’re just too pretty, I can’t help it. Sorry.”
“It’s fine. Let’s go outside now.”
Marie blushed again at my frank confession and headed towards me. I gave up my admiration and followed her. Marie would be wearing that dress all day, so it wouldn’t be hard to remember her appearance. It might be a little irritating to see other men giving her attention like hyenas, but Marie was a noblewoman and wouldn’t let them approach her easily.
And since the imperial palace personally dispatched guards to take care of public order, the probability of a crime occurring is extremely low.
“Oh, are the two of you leaving now?”
“Huh?”
As Marie and I were about to leave the mansion together, I heard Cecily’s charming voice in my ear.
Turning my head to look at Cecily, who called us, I couldn’t help but catch my breath. Cecily, dressed in a black dress, was so beautiful that it seemed to pierce the sky.
With her arms and back exposed in a halter-neck dress that fixed the straps behind her neck, her prideful chest was even more prominent thanks to the dress.
If it were any other woman, one would simply say she looked sexy, but with Cecily’s chest being so large, it felt even obscene. Moreover, the material was subtly clingy, highlighting her figure entirely and stealing our gaze.
‘But the necklace…’
A slightly strange thing here is the necklace that Cecily is wearing. The dress seemed to boast an expensive value even at a glance, but the necklace had a worn-out appearance.
Even though it was an ordinary silver necklace with not even one jewel, it couldn’t help but stand out more compared to Cecily’s appearance.
“Wow… that’s not fair…”
Marie muttered quietly next to me while I was focusing on the necklace. I nodded in agreement.
Even Marie, who was looking down on Cecily, a woman just like herself, couldn’t help but express admiration. You can imagine how beautiful Cecily must be right now.
If Cecily’s dress at the last event was striking, she is now fully showing off her strengths. With just her attire, she exudes a seductive aura and her captivating appearance steals my gaze.
grip-
Did I instinctively feel that I shouldn’t succumb to temptation? Unconsciously, I grabbed Marie’s hand.
Marie flinched for a moment when I grabbed her hand, but soon I felt her grip tightening.
Cecily, who briefly showed a subtle expression when we held hands, smiled softly and spoke.
“If I disturbed your date, I’m sorry. Actually, since this is my first time in this territory, I also need a guide.”
“Ah… yes.”
“If you refuse, I’ll just step back.”
I turned my gaze to Marie at Cecily’s request, and coincidentally, Marie was also looking at me. After she smirked, she turned her head back to Cecily.
“Okay. Just for today.”
“Really? You’re really allowing it?”
Cecily reacted with a strong reaction, as if she never thought Marie would permit it.
Her red pupils widened slightly, revealing joy as she strode towards us. Even Marie and I were somewhat shaken by her approach. In fact, I missed the timing to speak, distracted by Cecily’s chest, which was shaking slightly as she walked towards us.
Fortunately, I realized that Marie was next to me and quickly checked her reaction. While I regained my composure, her gaze was still focused on Cecily’s chest. Her blue pupils trembled slightly, as if overwhelmed by an overwhelming presence.
Even when she walked towards us, shaking slightly, it was impossible for anyone, regardless of gender, not to be drawn to her gaze. Marie then swallowed her saliva and spoke in a trembling voice, looking away.
“Uh… okay. But you have to stay by my side instead. Don’t ever come near Isaac.”
“It’s okay. After all, the exhibition is the main purpose, right? Do you really permit it?”
“Yes, so you don’t have to keep asking. There’s something I want to talk to you about, too.”
Her pupils kept trying to go down, but Marie seemed to prevent it by shaking her head slightly.
Marie, who is also a woman, is like that, but I’m a man. In the end, I couldn’t hold out, so I persevered by closing my eyes tightly.
There is a saying that says covering up just a little bit of skin is more provocative than exposing it all, and Cecily is advertising to the world that she is a succubus descendant.
‘It’s no wonder that I was tempted back then…’
When I revealed my secret, I remembered what she had done to me. Just thinking about it makes me dizzy and my face turned red as if it’s about to burst.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. My girlfriend is right next to me, so how could I even have these thoughts? As a boyfriend, I’m disqualified…
‘…What’s with that? Men are just sad animals.’
I wonder if Marie will understand, but it might be better to get scolded later. I slowly opened my tightly closed eyes and looked ahead. I caught sight of Cecily’s smiling face. I couldn’t bring myself to meet her gaze, so I coughed nervously and tried to avoid her.
“What about Isaac? Marie gave permission, too.”
“I don’t mind, but where is your escort?”
“Don’t worry, they’re watching over us even if we can’t see them.”
“Okay, then…”
I heard that he was also a skilled knight in Helium. His abilities are outstanding even by demon standards, so I can relax.
‘By the way, wasn’t Cecily supposed to be the next Demon King?’
At the academy and elsewhere, I wonder if there’s any need for escorts. Of course, it could be just for show, so I can’t say anything. Anyway, Cecily joined us, so I finished all my preparations and stepped outside the mansion. Marie stood next to me, and Cecily stood next to Marie, and we moved together. As soon as we came out of the mansion, the sunny weather greeted us and made us feel good.
‘Thank goodness it’s not raining.’
Our territory, like South Korea in my previous life, has four distinct seasons. So by now, it’s normal for rain to come frequently, but there are no signs of it yet. In addition, the sky was spotless, which made me even more proud.
Then I looked up at the sky and turned my head forward. The security guards at the mansion gate spotted us and opened the gate. Unlike Marie’s mansion, it was a simple and ordinary gate, but I had no complaints. On the contrary, I was grateful to the security guards who worked hard even though they were having this festival.
“You’re working hard. When will your work be done?”
“Soon, the knight unit dispatched from the palace will be here.”
“Then you might be able to enjoy the festival soon.”
“Haha. That’s right. I hope you enjoy the festival too, my lord.”
After exchanging pleasantries with the security guards, we stepped out of the gate. The distance between the village where the festival was taking place and the mansion was a bit far apart, but we would arrive soon if we walked a little.
Until then, anything they did was just small talk. As luck would have it, Mari started the conversation by approaching Cecily first.
“By the way, Cecily. This might be a little awkward to ask, but can I ask you something?”
“Huh? What is it?”
“How can your chest become so big?”

“By the way, Cecily. This might be a little awkward to ask, but can I ask you something?”
“Huh? What is it?”
“How can your chest become so big?”
The straightforward question hit Cecily like a curveball. Not only Cecily but even I, who was listening quietly, was taken aback. If there were other people around us, we would have pretended not to have heard it. Maybe we could have acted like we were strangers.
In any case, Marie’s blue eyes contained a deep curiosity and a slight desire(?). Cecily noticed it too and glanced at her own chest before shifting her gaze back to Marie. Then she blushed slightly and opened her mouth with an embarrassed smile.
“Why are you asking that?”
“Isaac keeps staring at you.”
“Hey.”
“Why are you trying to deny it? Did you think I wouldn’t know?”
Marie responded clearly when I looked at her in disbelief. I had nothing to say because everything she said was true.
Is this what it feels like when you want to say something but can’t? I shook my head, feeling helpless against Marie’s expression that seemed to urge me to say something.
As I already said, a man is a sad creature. Upon hearing this, Marie became more confident and said to Cecily again.
“I think Isaac won’t look at anyone else if I grow up like you. Every time you wear a dress like this, Isaac only looks at you.”
“Marie, you’re definitely not on the small side. It’s actually the opposite.”
Cecily spoke to Marie in a soothing tone, as if she were calming a sulking child. In fact, Cecily’s words implied that Marie was bigger than average.
As a noble, Marie naturally had better food and sleeping conditions than commoners, and she had received body management, so it was natural.
“And there are many inconveniences that come with being this big. You know that, right?”
“I do. But I think Isaac will like it.”
“Can’t you talk about this when I’m not around?”
The listener was embarrassed beyond belief. When I pleaded with her to stop, Marie teased me with a playful smile.
“Why? Are you embarrassed?”
“Of course I am. You’re not supposed to talk about those things in public…”
“Can you lend me your ear for a moment?”
Before I could finish my sentence, Marie gestured for me to lend her my ear. I hesitated, wondering what else she would ask of me, but ended up lending her my ear.
Then, after giving Cecily a mischievous grin, Marie cupped her hands around my ear to keep her voice from escaping.
“There’s no need to be embarrassed. Why?”
-You’ll see it all later anyway.
My two legs, which were walking fine until that one word, stopped abruptly. I stared at Marie without being able to close my gaping mouth. Marie’s face turned red on her snow-white cheeks, even though she had said it herself. But looking at her beaming expression, it seemed as though she had already built up anticipation for this moment.
Honestly, I couldn’t help but admire her. The more a woman falls in love, the more devilish she becomes, it seems.
“Okay, let’s stop playing around now. Let’s go enjoy the festival.”
As I stood there stunned for a while, Marie took my hand and led me to the village. I was pulled along by her touch, still in a daze.
Even when the two of us got ahead, Cecily still stayed where she was. As if the world had been split in two, Marie pulled my hand whether Cecily was standing still or not.
“…This is fun.”
With Cecily’s ominous grumble, the exhibition began.
And then…
“This is crazy. What is this?”
“It’s a statue.”
“I know it’s a statue, but… why is it so big?”
As soon as we entered the village, I was reminded once again that there are many perverts in the world.
