If not wrong style concept of this city is 'Simple but luxurious'. But isn't this 'Clothing' too simple?
"Selene... Are you sure there's nothing less than this outfit?"
Noticing Selene who was also changing clothes, Selene then tilted her head as if she did not understand what I had just asked.
"What is less? I see the top and bottom are complete"
"That's not the case..."
No matter where you look at it from, what they give me is nothing more than a piece of white underwear. Not only that, but the size also seemed to be wrong as this outfit was unable to completely cover my chest and sensitive area.
I even started to regret wearing it thinking that this was just part of the set of clothes given and not the whole outfit.
"Ah, you might have mistaken it for underwear. But if you take a closer look at the materials used it is different from the usual underwear"
It is true that the materials used feel different than the fabric material I have ever known. Cain? It feels elastic and does not itch even when in direct contact with the skin.
"I forgot the name, but that Bikini you're wearing is made of water repellent that's perfect for swimming in water"
"Ohh... Hey, what are you wearing?!"
Different from my Bikini, what Selene uses is much more closed which is very inversely proportional to the bikini they tell you to wear.
(Author Note: Dara wears a Micro Bikini while Luna/Selene wears a School Swimsuit)
Although it is true that the back is wide open, but the front is perfectly closed which if I could also want it on my Bikini.
"Don't ask me, this is also my first time wearing it"
After we went back and forth questioning about this Bikini outfit, Waiter Selene named Zweite immediately asked us to hurry to go to the beach because it seemed we had been in the dressing room for too long.
Although I was not sure to look like this in public, but because Servant Selene named Percy had already secured my clothes, I had no other choice but to obey their will.
Using only sandals as footwear, I finally set foot on the beach for the first time.
"Whoaa..."
The fine white sand, the melodious sound of the waves, and the incomparable view of the vast ocean made me unable to help but feel amazed at the beauty of the beach that I had never known before.
Looking towards the beach, it seems that this beach is already crowded by visitors who are all women who are here are also wearing Bikini that shows a lot of skin while the men only use ordinary shorts.
From the faces of the women I saw, they seemed ordinary or even proud when they showed off their smooth skin to everyone. They even seem to be proud when
more and more men are coming to them to get acquainted or even just to admire them from a distance.
Not just showing off their bodies, they even deliberately lay on the sand while making a pose that invites more and more eyes to be on them.
"I can't believe they can show off a body like that"
"Me too, at first they protested because of the lack of material clothes, but after sister whispered 'When wearing Bikini, you can show off your curves and smooth skin to the crowd and prove that your body is far superior to theirs' which was successful in making the girls Nobles who initially protest now become competing to show off the body as you see now"
"That's..."
It's not that I can't understand their feelings.
As citizens of the Narsist Kingdom, it is fitting for us to pursue beauty for the rest of our lives. Be it facial beauty, beauty in dress, beauty in attitude, to beauty in art.
If it is able to make us look more beautiful in front of everyone then we have no reason not to pursue it.
However, after Her Majesty shut down our access to facial beauty, making all citizens of Narsist Kingdom to pursue beauty in other respects.
We wear flashy luxury dresses, our house is built with a design that has never been found before, if we have a work then we will show it to everyone.
Everything we do is just so we can look different from others.
Although I know all that, but won't showing off your body make you look like a cheap woman?
Based on the teachings of the Narcissist Religion... The Narsist Religion... Huh, does the Narsist Teachings have rules that prohibit showing off a limb? Hm... I have to read it again.
"Sister Dara's..."
What Zweite handed me was a bottle of clear liquid with beautiful purple-colored grains floating within.
"What's this?"
"That is what works to prevent your skin from getting burned by the sun"
Pointing into the distance, I saw a boy with a glowing red complexion crying loudly and the people who seemed to be his Servants were trying hard to calm him down.
If this is to prevent me from ending up like that, then I will gladly accept it.
"Now please lie down on the mat and let Me apply this on your body"
"I'm sorry?"
...
Lying on his stomach on a mat that has been held on the sand is Luna and Dara who lie next to each other.
With a large umbrella over their heads, they both enjoyed a hand massage that was dabbing on the surface of their white, smooth skin.
Percy is in charge of serving Luna, while Zweite is pampering Dara with her trained hand gestures. So good a massage from Zweite, Dara to close her eyes peacefully and even had time to fall asleep.
Due to their different Bikini designs, Dara has more skin surface exposed to sunlight. This makes Luna who has a more closed Bikini design finish faster
rather than Dara who needs extra effort so that the entire surface of the skin is protected by sunlight.
At the time Percy was applying sunscreen on Luna's face, Dara who was already in a supine position suddenly asked.
"How far along is your relationship?"
Although he was surprised to be asked suddenly, Luna who understood what Dara meant chose to answer honestly.
"We slept together... You you?"
"...Hand hold"
Hearing Dara's voice that seemed to be about to cry, made Luna's heart move before she was finally resuscitated by a pinch on her cheek.
Looking to the side, Percy looked at him.
Although he was wearing a mask, but a pair of purple eyes can be seen clearly from his eye hole which indicates that the one in front of him now is not Percy but his Master, Lavender.
"Selene... When did you first meet her?"
Under Lavender's gaze, Luna swallowed her saliva before replying "One or two months ago, at the Casino". After that Luna also told about how he and Prince Argenti could meet, about Prince Argenti who suddenly just brought him back to his residence, when Prince Argenti took his first moment, the first time, about how they stayed together for a whole week, until
when he applied with a diamond ring.
Hearing this, tears began to flow.
"Why... I really love him..."
Although he tried to hold it, but the tears still flowed clearly. In order to make Dara's appearance invisible to the crowd, Zweite also placed a large umbrella on their head to cover them all
from people's view.
Luna who was confused why Dara suddenly cried to ask for an explanation to her Master. "Sunscreen" Lavender replied briefly using Percy's mouth.
Realizing that this turned out to be the work of her Master, Luna could only quietly pay attention to what exactly her Master wanted to do... Or so he wanted until Lavender forced him to throw
some questions he had prepared before.
Receiving a piece of paper containing a list of questions, Luna began to read them one by one.
"When did you first meet Prince Argenti?"
Being under the influence of Lavender, Dara began to tell stories...
"That was when I was very young... Pope Senor announces that Prince Argenti will visit the Church... I and the other children were soon gathered to welcome his arrival..."
From the moment he first saw the young figure of Prince Argenti, the moment when he fell in love at first sight, he who for some reason was betrothed to Prince Argenti, the moment where he was
spending time with Prince Argenti, when he tried to chase after Prince Argenti who for some reason began to stay away from him, until when he heard the news that the Prince
Argenti has proposed to another girl who is not himself.
Hearing this, Luna did not know what to say. On the other hand, Lavender was putting a wide smile on her face.
Now it's time to read the next question.
"What do you think of races other than Humans? Like Beastman and Elf?"
Even though he already knew the attitude he gave when he saw a race that was not Human. But listening to her opinion in person is still something Lavender should do.
And what came out of Dara's mouth next was something that even surprised Lavender.
"The "dirty beastman was nothing more than a self-destructive animal trying to imitate a Human. While Elves are despicable creatures who dare to steal the beauty and immortality that should be owned by the Human race.
As for the other Beings, they were nothing more than despicable beings trying to replicate, replace, to destroy the Humans who were the chosen race of almighty Gods!"
Shocked at the unexpected answer coming out of Dara's mouth, Luna shuddered to herself considering that what Dara said was most likely what the Narsist Religion taught their children.
If the entire population of the Kingdom had this kind of thinking, then it was only natural that races other than Humans would feel tormented while living in this Kingdom.
He briefly recalled his friend at the residence of Prince Argenti...
Drifting into her own world, Luna wakes up after Lavender forces her to ask her next question.
"What exactly is Narcissist Religion and how can it be formed?"
...
When I woke up, I found that my sight was blocked by something.
Taking it, I realized that it was just an ordinary little towel. But, somehow I could feel the scent of flowers from the towel.
"Ah, are you awake?"
Looking at the source of the sound, I found Selene eating watermelon with her lunch. Looking around, I remembered that I was on the beach.
If my memory is correct, I was... Ah, true. Zweite was applying something called sunscreen to my skin to keep it from getting sunburnt. After that I lost my consciousness, did I fall asleep?
"You?"
Selene asked who offered me a watermelon that had just been cut. Having no reason to refuse, I accepted it with pleasure.
Taking a small bite, I could already feel a refreshing sweet feeling in my mouth.
"This is the salt"
"Salt?"
"This is how..."
What Selene handed to me was a small plate on which was a kind of small white crystals. Showing how, Selene took a pinch of the crystal called salt and sprinkled it on her bowl.
While biting the part that had been sprinkled with salt, Selene also forced me to do the same. According to him, I also sprinkled salt to all I could and began to bite him.
"Hmm?" the salty and sweet taste mixed in my mouth.
I don't know how to explain it, but because it tastes good I've subconsciously finished my part of the watermelon.
"Hehe, take it easy, there's still a lot"
Seeing Percy carrying a tray of watermelon that had been cut into pieces, I was happy to take it.
With that Selene and I spent time enjoying the watermelon on the beach while looking at the view of the sun that began to sink in the ocean.
I'm asleep till the afternoon?
...
After dinner, I went back to my office.
Excluding Glory and Victoria who were always standing behind me, there was only me alone in this room.
With it in hand, I began to give a routine report to Grandma.
"So, a religion based on one person. With the aim to spread propaganda that the Human race is the most perfect race. Too bad the two nuns I interrogated this afternoon
have a low rating so they don't know much. But, whatever they were actually hiding was definitely not something good"
"I agree, therefore, that by the time the Alliance Army made it into the Narsist Kingdom's Capital, I advise them to directly raid the Cathedral as a primary target rather than storming the Royal Palace"
"Hm... Are you sure? Although it is a false religion, it attacks religious buildings..."
"Grandmother need not worry, the Otherworlders will surely understand immediately and will gladly storm the Cathedral and behead their Pope"
"Well, if that's what you think is best, I'll pass this on to Rosemary"
"Thank you"
With one problem finished, it is time to move on to another.
Still related to Narsist Religion, the topic this time is closely related to Dara.
"They betrothed an orphan to their own Prince?"
"That's right, if only the child had been adopted by the noble family first before being betrothed I could still understand him, only this one still did not have a Family and was already juxtaposed with the Second Prince"
"Hm... This is definitely not commonplace. Do you know what the personality of the boy looks like?"
"Phanatic"
My short answer that immediately made Grandma understand everything.
The brief explanation is, Pope Senor as the brain of the entire Narsist Religion wants to have full power of the Narsist Kingdom. Marrying his own sister to King Narsist Kingdom alone was not enough. Because he who has no children (Had) he to gather orphans from all corners of the Kingdom and stuffed their heads with the teachings of the Narsist Religion until they finally get the most beautiful candidate and the most loyal to them.
Once the candidates are found, they are presented to the Princes to bind them to the marriage relationship.
"Narist Kingdom has 3 princes. I don't know where the third is, only that the First is married while the Second Prince's future bride is currently in my hands"
"I won't ask how you got the poor girl and what you're gonna do to her, what I want to know is what you want to do with this Narsist Religion?"
"Isn't that clear? A heretical religion that exists solely to control a Kingdom from behind the scenes is not worth leaving. It is better to destroy this religion
immediately"
Thinking for a moment, Grandma finally said...
"Well, I'm going to ask Rosemary to focus on destroying this religion at all costs. You can calm down and just go on with what you want to do"
"Of course"
And... The call ended.
I swear, after coming home later the first thing I will do is tamper with this damn item to stop wasteful Mana.
Hah, when do I think I can go home?
If I don't remember wrongly in the basement now it's full of experimental objects waiting to help me level up.
I also want to relax again while watching the efforts of the poor Adventurers who think that they can conquer my Dungeon.
And more importantly...
"It's time to open the store, right? Ahhe... This is my own shop. How could I miss it?!"
After the situation, I chose to go to sleep.
