After the private audience with the Emperor, I was guided to the guest room. But since I was with Sister Chris, wasn’t it really a private audience?
The place was much more luxurious and extravagant than the waiting room where everyone had gathered before entering the audience room. It was definitely a place to treat dignitaries from other countries visiting the empire.
“Suddenly headhunting? Drifting from adventure to territory management? But they’re offering titles and land, isn’t that great? The money will follow too…! But why did Rain turn it down?”
“Hmm…?”
I tilted my head at Chris’s sparkling reaction.
In fact, after meeting the Emperor, I had been cautiously observing Chris’s reactions.
Both with Igrim and the Emperor’s responses, one by one, the connections between this continent and me were becoming apparent.
And Chris had always been there during those moments.
Sister Chris.
Can you really accept all this without suspicion?
Chris, who had been smiling brightly, suddenly got angry.
“But I can’t forgive the fact that Rain kissed his knuckles! If it weren’t for the Emperor, I’d want to chop off his head right now…!”
“Sister… we’re still in the Imperial Palace…? And kissing the knuckles is just a gesture of respect?”
“Ugh! I haven’t had my turn yet!”
Chris suddenly started to sob.
“U-uhm.”
If I kept talking to Sister Chris, it felt like I wouldn’t have time to think.
Leaving the whining Chris behind, I took a moment to think alone.
A millennium of time, and any form of will.
Because of those things, the name of the hero party was erased, but their existence and deeds still remained in various forms. Like the portraits of this place.
Wealth? Honor? I think I might have thought about that at one point.
Could it be that after a millennium, I’m feeling compensated by their descendants?
I imagined for a moment the life of leisure I was supposed to lead in the Continent of Astria after everything was over. I would have traveled with my comrades as well. In that light, I probably wouldn’t have wanted something like a title that ties me down.
In those times when I was filled with hope of saving this world and living with my loved ones.
If all my comrades had survived, I would have lived here without a care. I wouldn’t have thought of my previous world at all.
The newly born me, the girl Rain, was undoubtedly a human of the Continent of Astria.
What about now?
I was sinking into this land again while I was once lost in it, but now, where do my precious ones live?
I glanced at the weeping Chris for a moment.
And I couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Sister, do you want to kiss?”
“W-what?”
I winked.
I tiptoed over to Chris, emphasizing each syllable as I spoke.
“Kiss.”
“Whoa….”
Chris gasped and squeezed her eyes shut.
“Ah… no! Rain, don’t do this! The stimulation is too much for me right now!”
I tilted my head but didn’t stop smiling, crawling closer to her on the plush guest room sofa.
“Hah… haa….”
A sigh escaped Chris’s lips, and I could feel her breath close to me.
smack.
I planted a light kiss on Chris’s cheek.
Then I gently hugged her blushing face.
My first kiss filled with affection.
I did it because my precious sister looked so sad.
But wow, this is incredibly embarrassing.
With a dazed expression, Chris stared at me blankly.
thud!
Then she grabbed my shoulder tightly.
I was startled.
“Rain!”
“Y-yes!?”
“I’m really, really sorry.”
“……?”
“After I log out later, could you do it again at home?”
Actually, there was another reason I hadn’t formally joined the Alparion Empire.
I was someone who shouldn’t delve deeply into the history of this world.
It didn’t matter in the past, but with the clear existence of ‘Lee Seulbi’ now, it certainly did. After defeating the threat that came to this world, all I should do was enjoy the ‘game.’
And this time, although the Alparion Empire reached out first, there was no guarantee that Beta Lion wouldn’t do the same.
They said I was the Foremother of the Empire, right?
That meant I was a fair mother. I couldn’t favor one side of the siblings over the other.
This kind of thing had happened in the past too.
After driving the Demon Race out of the central continent, before the hero party stormed the Demon Lord’s castle, ‘Leonard’ of Beta Lion and ‘Bernhardt’ of Alparion fought over me.
i“Rain must work for Beta Lion! I can’t let you have him, Bern!”*
i“Are you still calling Rain ‘sir’? Rain, you’ll come to Alparion after everything, right?”*
Thinking of the two heads of the always quarreling nations, Bern and Leon, I smiled for a moment.
I wasn’t as close as with the hero party, but I had gotten along pretty well with them too.
Come to think of it, I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye before leaving.
knock knock.
Still groggy from the kiss on the cheek, I was being petted by Chris when I opened my eyes to the sound of knocking.
The door opened, and a servant walked into the guest room.
“The outfit for today’s ball is ready.”
“Oh! Indeed, they’ve prepared an outfit!”
Chris, who had been gently petting me with her dazed eyes, suddenly gained vitality.
Following the servant’s guidance, we arrived at a room in the imperial palace, where many female users had already gathered.
“So you don’t need a dressing attendant, huh?”
“Understood.”
Since users can itemize clothes, that’s why they don’t need an attendant, I guess.
At Bae Merong’s resolute words, the attendants retreated from the room.
Bae Merong greeted Chris and me with a delighted expression.
“Sister Chris, Rain! Where have you been? I thought you got caught since you took so long!”
“Ah, didn’t I mention that the Emperor reserved our waiting room for us? I guess they wanted to give Rain some special treatment as a Perkle.”
“And what about you, sister?”
“Me? Our Rain is the Guardian.”
Chris looked at me with a chuckle. It seemed she didn’t want to share much about my past. Well, who would believe it anyway?
The story that the guild members need to know is just about the adventurers’ eastern expansion plans. That’s something we can share after the ball.
A brown-haired beauty, who had chosen a dress, approached us. She was Skada, the raid leader of the Third Clear Party.
“You came!”
“Ah, Skada! Already in a dress?”
“Hehe, what do you think? Aren’t the dresses in this game quite pretty?”
“Oh, they are beautiful.”
I genuinely admired it.
Skada twirled in front of us, showing off a dress that was flowy and stunning yet not overly restrictive. The beige dress matched her brown hair nicely.
Chris coughed softly, glancing at my reaction.
“It’s, uh, not bad.”
“Hehe, I think it would really suit you too, Chris.”
Skada’s dress, with a deep neckline, showcased her slender figure.
Chris seemed to have developed a bit of competitiveness.
“Puhuhuk!”
Chris pouted and strode over to the area where the dresses were hung.
swish.
After a moment, she picked one up and immediately ‘wore’ it.
“Oh my, sister!”
“Oh wow, her figure is….”
Every female user nearby was in awe.
Chris was now wearing a dress of the same fiery red as her hair.
And…
“That has quite a neckline!”
“It looks like something straight out of Greek and Roman mythology!”
It was an incredible exposure reminiscent of the ‘Ancient Shrine of Berveia,’ where we had obtained outfits for the Archangel and Fallen Angel!
Through the gaps in the deep neckline of her dress, she was showing off her chest, her explosive figure.
“Whoa….”
I gulped.
I felt my cheeks flush as I looked down.
“Hohoho! Rain, give me your thoughts!”
The situation completely reversed from earlier.
Chris pressed close to me, demanding a response. I felt like my face might explode in front of Chris’s beautiful form.
“You’re so beautiful.”
Those breasts, they were great.
A soft, cozy chest perfect for cuddling against.
If I lost focus for even a moment, I felt like I would bury my face in her chest and rub against it.
Lee Seulbi didn’t feel like this, but as Rain, I found it hard to control my childishness.
“Hehe, is that it?”
“Sister, sister, you’re too close.”
I barely managed to stammer a response.
thud.
“Hah…!”
Chris wrapped my face in her bosom.
Feeling her chest against my clothes was one thing, but this was completely bare skin.
Seulbi, Rain. If you’re going to be this embarrassed, why did you suggest bathing together then? But I guess I was feeling weak-minded then too?
In this hazy state, I found myself pressed tight against Chris and being moved toward the dresses.
“It’s time to pick Rain’s dress! The real show begins now.”
“Hehe, Sister Chris, you really know your stuff.”
Bae Merong had a mischievous smile as she began pulling dresses off the hangers, forcing them on me one by one.
In my weakened state, buried in Chris’s bosom, I couldn’t resist their demands.
“Meep!”
“Wha, whoa…!”
“Rain, you look too cute! Ah… so pretty!”
As the dresses began to be worn on me one by one, chaos erupted among the female users.
“Haah, haah!”
Chris’s breath started to become heavy.
Red Hot Chicken, Dal Borom, and Bae Merong from Hong Baek were all screaming in excitement. Even the two women from Skada Raid couldn’t hold back their screams. Only the raid leader Skada was barely managing to stifle her moans while gazing at me.
“Whoa, this, this is dangerous!”
“That neckline is too low…! Rain, something cuter, please….”
“Ah…!”
Seeing me in a dress with a deep neckline, Chris gasped and collapsed onto the sofa.
“Oh, I can’t take this overwhelming stimulation anymore….”
Chris’s eyes lost their focus. Was she in a daze? She’s seen my naked body before, hasn’t she? Well, is that feeling different through more revealing clothing?
At this point, there was no one left to control the remaining female users.
“What do we do? What do we do? Is it okay to show this to the guys?”
“Meep! Rain, try this on too!”
“Eek, eek.”
As I became their dress-up doll, I could only whimper and spend a while as their dress modeling model.
