To put it simply, there were more exposed areas than covered areas.
They were wearing lingerie with intricate patterns, garter belts, and stockings, and the color of their underwear was the same as their hair color. Just like the dolphin pants they always wore.
Up to this point, it was understandable. The Emperor also wore lingerie and a garter belt under his uniform. And it was the same black color as his hair.
The problem is that was all there was to it.
A bra that barely covered her lower chest and barely showed her nipples, panties that exposed almost half of her buttocks, and stockings that came down to about mid-thigh. That was really all there was to covering her body.
The dress she was wearing on top of that was a semi-transparent one-piece dress. As the name suggests, it was made of semi-transparent material, so her bare skin and underwear were clearly visible. It was the kind of clothing that is called see-through.
That's why I can tell exactly what kind of underwear the Knight Commanders are wearing, down to the color and shape. It's impossible for their clothes not to show their underwear.
If you were to ask if the white sleeveless top and dolphin pants that I usually wear as a uniform were normal attire, I would have to think a lot about it, but this was even worse.
"How long has it been since I've attended a party in person? It's been so long that I can't even remember."
"I think there was a banquet held about three years after we enlisted. That was probably the first and last time. And as you know, we're not in a position to do that, right?"
"Well, our role isn't to escort or attend border parties. There was no reason to drag us here."
"I'm sure he's always busy neglecting his work and playing around, but the fact that he called us here must mean that he has some kind of ulterior motive or plan."
"Of course. I wouldn't have gone even if you called me. What on earth do you think that piglet was up to and why did you just go in there? He must have given me some weird clothes, too."
'What dress are you wearing now?'
I just blinked as I listened to the conversation between Lize and Erica.
Does a see-through one-piece dress that reveals bare skin, lingerie the same color as your hair, a garter belt, and stockings mean that it is normal attire?
"So, what do you think, our newbie?"
"… … What do you think?"
The arrow was suddenly turned towards me.
Lize began to approach me with a meaningful smile full of her characteristic playfulness. With each step she took, her breasts wrapped in lingerie rippled.
"I mean, our dress. The lord sent it to me, but I thought you, the only man here, would like it."
"Yeah, it's pretty. It's really pretty. Okay?"
"Hmm, just in words?"
The smile on his face grew deeper. It was a signal that he would never let it go.
"You have to point out exactly where and how it's pretty. Then, won't you be able to highlight that part more?"
Lize deliberately gathered her arms in the middle to emphasize her chest. Her waist was slightly bent, making her sternum stand out even more. Because her chest was so large, the depth of the valley was also enormous.
Since I could roughly guess what was going to happen next, I took a step back hesitantly. As I took a step back, Lize followed suit. It was obvious what kind of answer she wanted from me.
'… … No, I can't say outright that I like it.'
Yeah, to be honest, I was really freaking out.
What kind of man could ignore a beauty of Liz's level wearing see-through lingerie and sticking her chest out like that?
But being annoyed and acknowledging and accepting it were two separate issues.
Once I crossed the line, I didn't have the confidence to control myself afterwards.
No matter where I am, no matter when I am, no matter what I do, I will think of Lize. If I am not careful, I might end up in trouble during battle. It would have been better to not give her any chance from the beginning.
'Even if it's difficult right now, we can talk about it later when we reveal the truth.'
Knowing what kind of feelings Lize had for me, it would be inhuman to continue to keep my distance without rejecting or accepting them.
"Huh? Newbie. What's so pretty about me?"
"Leave it at that, Lize."
Iris's voice, heard from far away, cut off Lize's words. Silver-colored hair appeared beyond the castle gate.
Her breasts, which were by no means small, swayed up and down with her walking speed, and the hem of her see-through one-piece dress, which revealed all of her flesh, fluttered in the wind.
Lingerie as silver as hair was a bonus.
"The newbie is having a hard time. Isn't it obvious?"
"Well? It looks to me like you like it."
Lize straightened her back, which had been slightly bent forward. The reaction made her chest swell greatly once again. It was a sight that was impossible to ignore.
"What about the carriage?"
"She's outside. That's why I called you. Claudia is boarding first."

"Okay. Let's go, rookie. You too, Erica."
Their arms were naturally linked. Erica, who saw that, gave them a complicated look. I shook my head, wondering if I could do anything.
Iris walked first, and the three of us followed. As soon as we left the main gate of the castle, we saw a six-horse carriage that almost filled the street. The seat where the coachman should sit was empty.
The maid, who had been expressionless at the door, bowed her head politely as soon as she saw us. Strangely enough, the maid's uniform was barely revealing. Not even her cleavage was revealed at all.
It was a world where even passing extras wore all sorts of sexy clothes. Maid outfits that didn't reveal any skin were almost a rarity.
The maid opened the carriage door with her white-gloved hand, and Iris jumped in. Next came Erika, then Rize, and finally me.
As Lize went inside, her buttocks, which were only half covered by her underwear, swayed as if showing off. She turned her head away, trying hard not to be conscious of it.
'It's so wide.'
The inside of the carriage was very spacious and lavishly decorated with all sorts of antique items.
The curtains covering the windows looked expensive at first glance, and the carriage was covered in gold leaf. The seats, which were almost like sofas, were incredibly soft. The carpets on the floor made it impossible to hear any footsteps.
"What do you think? Do you like it, rookie? This is what I chose. Do you have good taste?"
Claudia, who had been drinking wine from a bottle, opened her mouth.
Erica frowned and said something about drinking on a party day like this. Claudia countered that she was drinking because it was a party like this. She wasn't wrong.
"As for your taste… I think you probably chose the biggest one anyway?"
"… … What, how did you know? Were you following me?"
Claudia looked puzzled. Lize burst out laughing, and Erica and Iris also snickered.
Click, the door closed as we all sat down. With a slight jolt, the carriage slowly began to move. It seemed that the maid who had opened the door for us was also acting as the coachman.
Perhaps because it was a carriage provided by the lord himself, the ride was also of a high standard. It was safe to say that there was almost no bumping, and the seats were of such good quality that even my buttocks were comfortable.
'I wish I could get there quickly.'
Actually, I barely had time to feel that kind of ride except right after departure.
With his eyes, he could see the bare skin and underwear of the knight commanders, with his ears, he could hear the knight commanders laughing and talking, with his nose, he could smell the knight commanders' body odor, and with his right arm, Lize was clinging to him, pressing hard against his chest.
In such a situation, there is no time to feel comfortable and at ease in a carriage.
'....'
I just cleared my head and stared blankly out the window, waiting for the carriage to arrive at the mansion as soon as possible.
Fortunately, it was a short ride to the mansion. The carriage stopped shortly after. The mansion was brightly lit outside the window.
Click, the carriage door opened again. The order of exit was the opposite of the order of entrance. I, sitting next to the door, went out first, and Claudia was last.
"Do you like the carriage? I put a lot of effort into it because you guys are going to ride it. You can use it in the future, so just ask."
Near the main entrance to the mansion stood Aurora, accompanied by two maids. Like the knight commanders, she was wearing a party dress.
'Better than the dresses worn by the knight commanders.'
The dress Aurora wore was a one-piece dress, the so-called 'new city Missi look'.
The chest area was cut quite deeply, revealing her shoulders and armpits, but other than that, the rest of her body was tightly wrapped. The only areas exposed were her sternum and armpits.
'... ... No, I'll take back what I said about it being better.'
Looking closely, the dress was so clingy to her body that her belly button was completely visible through the dress, and it was as if she wasn't wearing any underwear at all, and there was no underwear line to be found anywhere in the dress that clung so tightly to her body.
One that showed off her cleavage with lingerie and a garter belt, and one that was tight-fitting and had a low cleavage without any underwear.
They were both there.
Iris and Claudia tried to bow their heads in greeting, but Aurora waved them away.
"You guys probably know my personality anyway, so let's stop the formalities. Let's just go in and have fun. Don't you think it's a bit weird to just stand around like this outside?"
As Aurora made a slight gesture, the two maids behind her slid over to my side.
"Go."
"I will serve you."
With me in the middle, two maids stood on the left and right, and escorted me to the mansion. I looked back. Aurora and the knight commanders didn't seem to have any intention of moving.
"You go in first. I'll follow you shortly. I have something to say to the Knight Commanders."
Aurora must have sensed my gaze, so she told me to go in first. The maids surrounding me silently walked away. As I went further into the mansion, the outside view quickly disappeared.
'What do they have to say among themselves?'
I feel uneasy about something.
