As Hal, I was drowsing in my bed, recalling last night’s… well, “affair,” to be precise, and the “First Night Ritual” with Liliana, who was sleeping soundly beside me.
Liliana had accumulated unique experiences due to her peculiar circumstances.
While she possessed an inviolable nature due to her noble upbringing, she also exhibited a calculated shrewdness from her time as a high-class prostitute. However, looking at her sleeping face now, it was clear she was still a beautiful girl with the remaining innocence of her fourteen years.
Last night, I was able to fully enjoy her marvelous body.
As I spent a while grinning and observing Liliana’s sleeping face, the sun rose, and it was almost time for breakfast.
“…Ugh…! Oh!? G-Good morning, Master.”
To wake Liliana, I gently pinched her cute nose to rouse her.
Poked in the nose, Liliana squirmed as if in distress, letting out a cute groan, but she quickly awoke and greeted me as usual.
“Good morning, Liliana. How are you feeling?”
“Yes… To be honest, I still have a sense of foreignness and dull pain as if something is inserted in my crotch, but… I feel refreshed because I am loved by Master.”
“That’s good. I could heal it if I wanted, but there’s no point in regenerating your hymen.”
“Yes… With this, I truly became a woman.”
“It’s almost time for breakfast, can you eat?”
“Come to think of it, I am hungry. I’ll return to my room to get ready, so let’s meet in the dining room.”
Awakened Liliana exited my bedroom to prepare herself. washing my face and adjusting my clothes, I headed to the dining room on the first floor. Breakfast was already being prepared, and surprisingly, Alicia was also seated there.
Surprisingly, Ly and Freya, who were not morning people, looked sleepy but must have worked hard to be awake.
Everyone gathered in the morning; I wondered if something had happened. It was such an unusual event that I worried if a storm would come. Alicia visiting the “Princess Harem’s” base mansion this early might mean something happened concerning the Raymond Trading Company.
Shortly after, Liliana also arrived after tidying herself up. Her expression was full of confidence, dazzlingly beautiful.
“It seems Liliana has finally achieved her desires,” Ly murmured upon seeing Liliana’s demeanor, and Tirna nodded in agreement. It seemed Ly and Tirna had pushed Liliana, who had been troubled.
Just as I was about to open my mouth to offer a pre-meal prayer, thinking everyone was present, I heard footsteps descending from the second floor.
Ah, right, Sophie was here. Sophie’s footsteps, descending the stairs slowly, were strangely light and feminine. Sophie was a “Princess Knight” who had mastered the knightly sword, but she was a woman, so there shouldn’t be a problem.
“E-Eh!?”
“My, what a beautiful girl! Have we gained another new member?”
However, when Sophie appeared, everyone except Alicia, who was unfamiliar with her, gasped in astonishment. Meanwhile, Alicia, meeting Sophie for the first time, was purely surprised by Sophie’s beautiful appearance.
From her dignified appearance yesterday, she had transformed into a beautiful girl resembling Liliana and Ly. Had her height also decreased slightly!? She had grown beautiful silver hair that reached mid-back, and her chest had swelled to be comparable to Ly’s. I remembered that until yesterday, she was not exactly flat-chested but had a barely perceptible curve. She now had the appearance of a graceful former princess.
“G-Good morning…”
Sophie, transformed into a lovely beautiful girl, greeted me with a slightly timid expression. Sophie’s voice, originally a husky, masculine tone, had changed to the clear, cute, and high-pitched tone of a beautiful girl.
“S-Sophie, what happened to your appearance?”
“Sophie-Onee-sama, from a dignified ‘Princess Knight’ to a charming princess…!?”
Ly and Liliana, who were distantly related to Sophie, were particularly surprised.
“Lady Sophie, you look wonderful even after ‘feminizing’…”
Tirna, also familiar with her, made a rude remark while sending an intense gaze her way. Her eyes seemed fixated on her generously swollen chest.
“Y-You guys! The reason I became like this is because of the wig you put on me yesterday! I demand a proper explanation!! Last night, in my dream—”
Then, Sophie, shaking her shoulders in anger, began to scold Ly and the others about the “Princess Dream” that Luna, the “Assistant Fairy,” had told her in her dream.
“Freya, you were the one who procured that wig, weren’t you? Where did you get it?”
“I purchased that wig from an antique dealer in the town. Apparently, the demand for wigs suddenly surged, and they were quite expensive… It was difficult to find an inexpensive wig to save on expenses.”
Ly, who had been leading the “Sophie Punishment Operation,” questioned Freya, who was in charge of procuring the wig, about its origin. Currently, due to Princess Elizabeth of the Espana Imperial Kingdom, most noblewomen were forced to shave their heads and wear wigs, which caused wig prices to soar. A while ago, when I went to White Castle with Alicia, I bought a wig as part of our preparations, and it was quite expensive. To think that an artifact from the Ancient Magical Civilization Era was gathering dust at a town antique dealer…
“That dingy wig had such a secret! How could I have been so negligent!”
“Those breasts should be ripped off!!” Kirika, belonging to the small-breasted faction, stomped her foot in frustration, while Mai, drawing her short sword, expressed her regret, but it was too late.
“Nice to meet you, Lady Sophie? I am Alicia Mia von Rendol. Please be acquainted with me.”
Alicia rose from her seat at the moment the conversation between Sophie and the “Princess Harem” party members paused and greeted her with beautiful etiquette.
“Alicia is Hal’s fiancée… and also a Viscountess of the Espana Imperial Kingdom,” Elise, the deputy leader of the “Princess Harem,” introduced Alicia.
“H-Who are you, a lapdog of Espana! I shall defeat you!!” Upon learning that Alicia was a noble of the Espana Imperial Kingdom, Sophie glared, her canthus twitching, and lunged at Alicia. However, Sophie’s physical abilities, now transformed into a modest former princess, had drastically decreased, and she was quickly restrained by Ly.
“Sophie, misbehaving is not allowed. Alicia is our precious comrade.”
“L-Let go! Ly! That woman is everyone’s enemy… Ah!? …Ah… Noooo… D-Don’t squeeze my chest!!” To her surprise, Ly was fondling Sophie’s chest while restraining her.
“P-Please… Ah… D-Don’t squeeze me!”
“Sophie, you don’t seem to understand that your position has changed from yesterday. In other words, you’ve gone from the one ‘hunting’ to the one being ‘hunted.’ Also, I warned you that if you embarrassed me again, you would be punished…”
“…Ah… N… Understood… Stop squeezing!”
“I propose a duel with a rapier.”
“Then, as you wish. I shall defeat you and make you cry,” Before I knew it, Ly and Sophie had arranged to duel with rapiers.
“Lady Ly, I’ve brought the rapiers. Sophie, please use this one.”
“Thank you, Tirna.”
“N-No way!? How can a mere rapier be this heavy…?” Tirna immediately brought the rapiers, but Sophie, gripping a rapier, was stunned by its weight. Ultimately, Sophie, realizing she could no longer wield even a lightweight rapier compared to a knightly sword due to her physical changes, apologized to Alicia and Ly.
“Lady Sophie, let’s let bygones be bygones.” The kind-hearted Alicia accepted Sophie’s apology.
“However, I believe a punitive measure is necessary to settle this,” Ly, who had been repeatedly distressed by Sophie’s shameless actions, was not convinced.
“Now then, Hal-sama. Isn’t this a good opportunity to reveal the hidden command (cheat code)?” Kirika came beside me and whispered like a demon.
“Indeed… Ly seems to still be upset, so after breakfast, Kirika and I will give her an ‘punishment.’ Also, since Alicia is here, we’ll proceed with Sophie’s ‘Quality Check’ afterwards.”
“Hal-sama, the preparations for the ‘Quality Check’ are not complete. How about we do it another day?” Elise, who was looking forward to it the most, voiced her opinion about the lack of preparation.
“It’s alright. Hal-sama and I are fully prepared.”
“Is that so… Then I look forward to it.” Thus, Sophie’s wishes were completely ignored, and the implementation of her “punishment” and “Quality Check” was decided.
“Great deities who sit in the heavens. We thank you for granting us the sustenance to live again this morning.” Following my prayer, a pleasant breakfast began, but Sophie had a look as if she were sitting on needles. Nevertheless, no one sympathized with her, as it was the consequence of her shameless actions.
Thank you for reading.
