The “First Night Ritual” between me and Mariabel has officially begun.
Mariabel, who was initially just a prelude to Saintess Seira, turned out to be quite good once we started.
It seems I was being overly cautious, associating Princess Knights with Zofie.
Mariabel arrived in the bedroom, her pure white nightgown barely disturbed.
This was because I had only lightly caressed her breasts and crotch through her nightgown, and then, at Mariabel’s request, given her one deep kiss.
Even with just one deep kiss, Mariabel’s eyes had become hazy and soft.
Unlike that delinquent Princess Knight Zofie who preyed on girls, Mariabel must have dedicated herself to training and actual combat to become stronger.
She was, in a way, a sheltered princess, albeit with a slightly unconventional upbringing.
What drove her from being a princess of the Hasthatitia Kingdom to a Holy Knight of the Asgard Holy Church?
However, she was not worldly-wise and had maintained her innocent body.
Mariabel herself believes she is a knight before she is a maiden, and she volunteered for my “First Night Ritual” as a prelude to Saintess Seira, intending to observe and learn.
She must never have imagined that she herself was effectively a sheltered princess.
And so, I found myself facing my first night with Mariabel.
My initial prediction was that Mariabel would lie on the bed and passively accept my sexual advances, but she was surprisingly responsive.
I, too, would strive for a more thorough sexual encounter to repay Mariabel’s genuine reaction.
“Hal-dono?! Is my body… malfunctioning somehow??”
Mariabel, left unattended while I was lost in thought, asked with a worried expression.
I could understand Mariabel’s anxiety, as this was her first intimate experience.
But I had thought she would be a stronger-willed maiden… Was Mariabel also human after all?
“I’m sorry. My apologies. I was just thinking for a moment.”
“What were you thinking about…?”
Mariabel narrowed her beautiful eyes, trying to gauge my true intentions.
I would have to show sincerity to Mariabel.
So, I decided to be honest.
“I was remembering my first night with Princess Knight Zofie, who loved girls.”
“Even in front of me… you’re thinking of another princess?”
“She was a lesbian and quite the handful, but I was thinking that you, Mariabel, are truly a sheltered princess.”
“You say that I, a mere knight, am a ‘sheltered princess’?”
“Exactly. And besides, Mariabel, not only do you have a perfect appearance, but you also seem to have good sexual sensitivity…”
“Th-that can’t be…”
“Then, to verify, let’s kiss again.”
*Chu-pa, chu-uuu*
“That’s unfair… un… unnn…”
Mariabel furrowed her brows at my reply.
Mariabel must have trained herself to be a knight before a girl, but she is still a cute girl.
Towards Mariabel, who still wore a displeased expression, I embraced her and initiated a deep kiss.
I felt I had pushed my luck as much as I could.
*Chu, chu, chu-pa, chu-pa, buchu~~~~*
“…! …un… unnn…*… ahh… ahh…”
Gradually, the frown lines on Mariabel’s brow disappeared, and she seemed to be caught up in responding to the deep kiss.
I felt a little guilty for being a bit unfair, but it was my fault for taking too long.
Still, Mariabel’s lips are so soft.
When we held hands, her palms were as soft as a noblewoman’s delicate hands.
I had thought a knight’s palms, even a female knight’s, would be rough.
To my surprise, when I asked later, she told me that the healing magic I had cast had healed not only the slashing wounds on her breast area but her entire body.
On the other hand, it had also healed the calluses and corns on her toughened hands.
Mariabel told me this with a wry smile.
Thus, physically, she had returned to the state of a ‘sheltered princess’ from that of a thoroughly trained knight.
At that point, I was unaware of these circumstances and was engrossed in devouring Mariabel’s wonderful body.
As we continued exchanging deep kisses, the tension in Mariabel’s body began to dissipate.
Observing her relaxed state, I wrapped my arms around her back and began unfastening the hidden buttons.
When I unfastened the first button, I discovered it was also fastened with a hook at the collar.
So, I proceeded to unfasten the hook as well.
This revealed her neck and chest area.
Naturally, her breasts were still hidden, but the slope of her upper breasts and the entrance to her cleavage were visible.
Mariabel’s body had a slender build reminiscent of a graceful beast, but her slender neck line, the shadows created by her delicate shoulder blades, and the undulations on her upper chest hinting at the fullness of her breasts offered many points of interest.
Despite Mariabel’s breasts being just slightly enlarged small breasts… I found myself looking forward to them.
Mariabel’s breasts were supposed to be small breasts leaning towards flat, so there should be no cleavage.
But yet, this was undeniably cleavage?
Without voicing my doubts, I continued to unfasten the second and third buttons.
Then, opening her pure white nightgown from the back and removing her arms from the sleeves, more than half of her breasts were revealed.
“This fullness is beautiful breast level!? When did they grow larger than small breasts??”
“Hal-dono… don’t look at my breasts! I’m so embarrassed… I’m going to die.”
As I stared at Mariabel’s breasts, she protested in a voice as faint as the buzzing of an insect.
But I too was surprised.
Mariabel’s breasts were supposed to be meager with only a slight fullness.
Yet, the fullness of the breasts before me was that of beautiful breasts, one size larger than small breasts.
At the peak of the beautiful breasts’ fullness, nipples protruded upwards, protected by pale pink areolas.
Because of this, I could gauge the outline of her breasts even through the nightgown.
And due to the earlier petting, her nipples were erect.
They are very beautiful breasts.
The color and size of the areolas are also to my taste, and they look delicious.
At present, only the areolas and nipples have appeared, but did Mariabel’s breasts suddenly grow larger!?
Or did the party members do something??
However, no matter how capable they are, they shouldn’t be able to enlarge breasts in such a short time.
If it were possible, they would surely have worked on Kirika and Mai’s bust to form the Flat-chested Alliance.
Conversely, it would be difficult even for Mariabel alone.
But in reality, Mariabel’s breast fullness is that of beautiful breasts, one size larger than small breasts.
Or is she deceiving me with magic that makes them appear larger…?
“Your breasts, haven’t they suddenly become larger?”
“Th-that is…”
Mariabel faltered at my question.
In any case, let’s continue undressing.
And now that I think about it, the “Healing Magic” I cast has completely healed the scars that were brutally cut.
After all, I couldn’t allow attractive girls’ breasts to have flaws.
As the undressing progressed and the full extent of her chest’s fullness was revealed, the reason for Mariabel’s breasts appearing larger turned out to be corrective underwear.
Mariabel was wearing a “bustier” that gathered the fat from her chest.
Furthermore, this bustier lacked cup portions to cover the fullness of her breasts and was an adult-like garment that only pushed them up from below, a rather adult undergarment.
Although the color was pure white and decorated with lace, it abandoned its role of concealing the breasts, making it an incredibly erotic adult undergarment.
That’s why, when I caressed her through her nightgown, I mistook her erect nipples for her not wearing any underwear.
Still, it’s surprising that the earnest Mariabel was wearing such an erotic adult undergarment…
It must have been the work of the party members.
And the most likely culprit is Kirika, whose hobby is making cosplay costumes.
Kirika and Mai, who usually say, “I wish I could rip off those breasts” when they see large breasts, have now ventured into making corrective underwear to make breasts look larger!?
Or perhaps someone bought it during our travels?
For now, I decided to investigate.
“You’re wearing some rather lewd adult undergarments.”
“Th-this… was given to me by Kirika-sama.”
Mariabel gave me the answer I expected to my observation.
So, this corrective underwear was indeed made by Kirika.
“Still, to be so embarrassed about your breasts being seen… You must have been seen by male knights while working as a knight…”
Mariabel bashfully answered my question.
“Indeed, when I was a knight, I was with male knights during baths after training or public soaks, but I never felt embarrassed. Some male knights had the same chest muscle development as me… But when I wear the ‘bustier’ given by Kirika-sama, it declares that my breasts are a girl’s sex symbol. As a result, I’ve been caught up in a belated sense of shame…”
Mariabel, speaking with embarrassment, was undoubtedly a beautiful girl of her age.
It’s interesting that she didn’t have a sense of self as a girl with only slightly enlarged small breasts.
And it’s also interesting that it was the flat-chested Kirika who gave her the corrective underwear.
Was Kirika secretly aiming for bust enhancement with corrective underwear herself!?
However, she never showed any signs of it.
Perhaps, even small breasts would have shown some effect if they were enlarged, but for completely flat, small breasts, it was ineffective?
I feel a little sorry for Kirika.
I should pretend not to notice anything.
As we continued our conversation, the undressing progressed, and only her lower body was still covered by the nightgown.
Then, at Mariabel’s request, we decided not to remove the “bustier.”
I readily agreed, as I had ulterior motives of wanting to savor Mariabel’s now-beautiful breasts, and it was very erotic in its own way.
Next, my attention turned to the condition of her crotch area.
I had judged that she wasn’t wearing any underwear under her nightgown in that area either, but I had a feeling there might be some trick involved.
Still, the party members are taking a lot of care of Mariabel.
Is this an expression of their expectations for a newcomer?
Or do they have some ulterior motive…?
“Alright, I’m going to remove your nightgown completely.”
“…”
To my declaration, Mariabel stammered, her face bright red.
Deciding that we were getting nowhere, I ruthlessly peeled off her nightgown.
Then, a piece of cloth covering part of her crotch appeared.
I wondered what kind of erotic underwear she was wearing this time, but it was just a “shimai-hari” made of thin fabric attached to her genitals.
This “shimai-hari” was concealing her female genitalia.
“Your crotch area was also in a surprising state.”
“Please don’t say that. I’m embarrassed too…”
“Still, this is my first time seeing a ‘shimai-hari’. Was this also Kirika’s idea?”
“No, this was attached by Tirna-sama, who said it was a ‘spell charm’ for me to become a lady.”
After persuading the embarrassed Mariabel to spread her legs, I leaned closer and examined the “shimai-hari.” It was moist.
It was probably leaking love juice from her labia.
Furthermore, the “shimai-hari” had a unique sweet scent.
This scent… I believe it was an aphrodisiac with an estrous effect…
In other words, Tirna had attached a “shimai-hari” soaked in an aphrodisiac to Mariabel’s labia.
It seemed that Mariabel’s unusual feminine behavior tonight was due to the aphrodisiac effect of this “shimai-hari.”
Tirna was previously the head maid to Ly, so she is knowledgeable about the secret medicines of the Waiyar Harem.
This time, she deserves a “good job!”
At this point, I felt another sense of discord.
I’m sure… Mariabel’s crotch was in a dense jungle of pubic hair!?
“Speaking of which… Mariabel’s crotch was supposed to be a dense jungle of reddish-brown curly hair…”
“Th-that was thanks to Swan Hilda-sama and Eria-sama’s ‘shaving magic’ for care.”
It seems Mariabel was a convenient test subject for the party members.
Due to Elise, “shaving magic” had spread throughout the Princess Harem, and naturally, sacrifices were needed as test subjects.
Mariabel, who had not taken care of her crotch area, was a perfect subject.
Her armpit hair and the baby hair on her limbs were perfectly shaved, but regarding her pubic hair, some remained between her labia and her pubic mound.
Moreover, it was done to resemble the faint bush that grows when it first starts to sprout, making it look very natural.
If it were me, I would have shaved it completely to achieve a “smooth” state, but for a maiden in adolescence, this is more natural.
Tirna, who was likely made “smooth” by the “shaving magic,” probably gave her advice.
It seems that Kirika, Tirna, Swan Hilda, and Eria all took care of Mariabel’s body.
However, it is undeniable that Mariabel has returned to her original beautiful, princess-like physique, polished by the party members.
At this point, it would be proper to express my gratitude for the party members’ work and fully enjoy Mariabel, who is like a “ready-made meal.”
By the way, Mariabel is currently undressed, her breasts enlarged by the corrective “bustier,” and her labia sealed by the “shimai-hari.”
Mariabel, exposing such a shameless figure, appears as if she wants to disappear.
Indeed, Mariabel was a “ready-made meal” prepared just for me.
Thank you for reading.
