Celebration Banquet – 4
‘cute.’
Rize looked at the newcomer who was looking around with grim eyes as if she didn’t understand the current situation at all, with a hearty smile. Pok-kok, index finger pokes cheek.
It was the first time I had ever seen such a disheveled newcomer. Because he was a man who didn’t blink an eye, as if he expected everything to happen.
Except when it comes to women. It was obvious that he was extremely embarrassed by the fact that he always seduced her by sticking his chest or bare skin.
“that is… … that’s what… … .”
“Oops, be careful, rookie. fall.”
Instead of trying to get up, Claudia caught the body that was about to fall to the side.
Although the weight of a strong adult man was concentrated on one arm, Claudia was a human who could drink an entire oak barrel full of wine and easily wield a greatsword larger than herself.
There was no way he couldn’t support just one person.
“Since when… … ?”
“Because we had an agreement before this banquet, it hasn’t been long. Didn’t you have any intention of doing something like this in the first place? Seeing how the situation is going, I wanted this to be a deal like that.”
“then… … .”
“It started with the lord and Iris, Iris tipped me off, and I told Erica and Claudia. According to Iris, the first proposal was from the lord?”
Aurora nodded and nodded. It was something he had suggested, so there was nothing he could do to make excuses.
Claudia carefully seated the newcomer in a chair. When the hand supporting his shoulder fell, his body fell to the chair like a puppet with a broken string.
“Don’t be too intimidated by the word prying out a secret, newcomer. That’s what it says, the question will be simple.”
Erica cautiously opened her mouth.
“It was like that when Shin-sik first met us. I was cursed and all my memories were blown away. And somehow, the memories are slowly coming back. I even confirmed that the newcomer’s abilities were all 1 with the ability confirmation orb, so there was no doubt about that.”
After that was the problem. Erica let out a small sigh.
“Of course, we still fully believe in Mr. Shin. This heart will never change. However, I keep thinking that there are facts that Mr. Sinb didn’t tell us. He didn’t lie, he hid the truth from the start. You must be well aware that these two are different.”
“It must be true to say that you are cursed. However, that is not what we want to know.”
Iris answered. The newcomer was still drunk and had hazy eyes. He seemed to be trying to roll his head around, but the alcohol seemed to keep him from doing so.
“Who were you in the past?”
Yes, this question could be said to be the crux of this situation. What kind of person was the rookie in the past?
There was a mountain of other questions besides this, but the source of all of them is this question. Even if he only answered what kind of person the rookie was in the past, the goal was achieved.
“Doesn’t what you said mean that I was able to come up with all the solutions because my memories of the past came back after all? Then, the key is what kind of person you were in the past. Do you think you can explain it to us now?”
What kind of past did he have so that he noticed all the actions of monsters he had never heard of, grasped the entire internal structure of Rune Dungeon, and even dealt with demons as if nothing had happened?
If those actions were really based on memories of the past, he would have been a great hero.
But no human being in the Empire, not even the Emperor, had accomplished this feat. Because the emperor has solved the problem by crushing the opponent with overwhelming force.
It was fundamentally different from the newcomer who had overcome difficulties with only the ability to be at the bottom of the bottom, let alone overwhelming strength.
Especially when dealing with demons.
I couldn’t even guess what kind of past he had, if he had experienced something in the past, how he could dismiss the coming of the devil as nothing and calmly use it to devise a plan to kill the lord.
Demons were far from being able to catch simply because of their superior abilities. Even the priests of the holy kingdom were such beings that they had to prepare for a very grievous sacrifice.
Even so, as a newcomer, he was unconcerned. It was at that time that the knight commanders began to genuinely wonder about their past activities.
“Can you tell us what you are hiding from us?”
Despite Iris’s polite request, the newcomer just kept his mouth shut. The tightly closed lips did not even think to open.
Clearly there is something. The knight commanders and Aurora exchanged glances. Silence is said to be positive. If he had chosen silence rather than denial, it would have meant that there was something he couldn’t say.
Aurora, who was right next to her, took a step forward, gently cupped her cheek with her hand, and met her eyes. The dark eyes that were opened with a smirk and the golden eyes with strong will exchanged glances.
“Now, listen. I don’t know what kind of secret it is that you’re trying to keep so tight, but we’re not trying to do anything to you with it. Rather, are you trying to help me?”
“… … .”
“No matter what you did in the past or who you were, we have no intention of nitpicking about it. Even if you really committed a crime and were put in prison. It may have been then, but not now. You can just dismiss it as an old thing and start over.”
“… … .”
“Look here. A place where you can achieve anything you want. We have enough money, and enough power to not be able to use it, and… … Most importantly, there are women too? You can get your hands on it right now if you want.”
“Wait. Lord. What did you just say?”
Rize cut off Aurora’s words. The blue eyes turned to Aurora with a growl. It was a look that was very wary of the opponent.
Somehow, since the first time we met at the mansion about summoning a demon, the eyes looking at the rookie were unusual. The level of vigilance in the mind has risen to the highest level.
If you listen at first glance, you might be able to pass it off as simply piercing Rize’s heart and saying it as a word that refers to Rize.
But Aurora’s eyes told me that it was absolutely not so.
Those were the same eyes that contained female emotions, just like when Rize herself looked at the newcomer. At the same time, it was also the eyes that felt sexual desire for the man in front of them.
So, it was clear who the word woman that Aurora was referring to was referring to.
“Oh, why is that? Didn’t I say something wrong?”
“I think you said something very wrong. It’s ‘we’. He is definitely a member of the Knights of the Silver Dawn. You can’t do that carelessly.”
“After all, you must obey my orders. Then your subordinates will be my subordinates.”
“You use the same logic as that pig?”
“Since His Majesty has been like that since the imperial palace, isn’t it natural? Because that pig and I used to live in the imperial palace. Or are you saying you will not follow the emperor?”
Ridge, Rize hesitated at the mention of that. Not following the emperor was a story that could not have happened to the Knights of the Silver Dawn. Aurora, in contrast, smiled triumphantly.
Rize, who hesitated for a moment, glanced at Aurora’s chest as if she had found a clue to counterattack, then smiled and made a reluctant gesture to take a step back.
This time it was Aurora’s turn to get angry. I knew at once what the gaze just now meant.
Even Aurora was of a size that could not be called small, but it was true that it fell short compared to Rize, who had ridiculously huge breasts the size of her own head.
Since the newcomer had also constantly looked at Rize’s breasts from the moment he started getting drunk, it was all the more so because it was not difficult to guess what kind of taste he might have.
“now. Lord, let’s go there. Rize, you should do that too.”
Claudia cut in quickly before the atmosphere heated up any further. This place was for revealing the secrets of new recruits, not for fighting each other.
The two knew that well, so it didn’t lead to the second game. If they argue with each other here, in the end, they know that they are not the ones who have the choice in the end.
“The story leaked elsewhere for a while, but in the end, what we want to say is this. Who were you once upon a time?”
“it… … I mean, no… … to become… … .”
“Can’t you tell me? So you’re saying there’s something?”
“… … .”
He tried to close his mouth again, but it was already spilled water. The eyes of the knight commanders and Aurora changed.
What I just said meant that there was something that I shouldn’t have confided to others. And that must have something to do with the rookie’s actions.
It was my job from now on to find out.
The next day, I woke up from an unknown place.
‘I don’t care, really.’
The memory of last night immediately came to mind. I expected that you would be curious about my past, but I never imagined that you would try to find out by using such means.
I was going to reveal it someday, but that time almost came earlier.
Rather than being angry, I felt dumbfounded. As for right or wrong, it was because I had a problem since I immediately laid a steel plate on my face and lied. They were just trying to figure out what my lies were.
It’s because the method was absurd.
I wondered if the captains of the knights felt like this when they heard the news that I killed the lord using the devil.
‘Did I answer the question?’

My head was already messy with alcohol, but I remembered quite clearly the situation where I was caught up in Claudia’s pun and openly confirmed that I had a secret.
But after that, I have no memory.
It was unclear whether I had answered the question or had managed to keep my mouth shut. The film flew cleanly.
‘for a moment. Where is this again?’
I hurriedly looked around. Old-fashioned wallpaper and carpet on the floor. The saying of four or five people is a bed large enough to lie down comfortably. It must have been one of the rooms in the manor house.
I checked the side with a creepy feeling. Fortunately, there was no one beside me. The bed was also clean, and there were no signs of peeling or tearing on my clothes.
‘… … I’m sure he didn’t do something like that.’
Rize seemed to have a lot of potential, so my worries deepened. Did I seduce you and make you attack me while the film was cut, or did you attack me in reverse?
Neither of them was very far-fetched.
‘What happened after that…’ … .’
“What, are you really awake? How else did he know about this?”
While I was desperately searching for my memories, the door burst open and Rize strode in carrying a tray with a bright smile on her face.
It was not a see-through dress for a banquet, but a white sleeveless top and blue dolphin pants that she usually wore.
“Hey, are you drinking to question me? Is that because all five of them are conspired?”
“I remembered. be sorry I can’t use it twice.”
Even if I wasn’t angry, I thought I should say something tingly, but when I saw that calm appearance, I was so absurd that I ran out of words. In many ways, I also owed my heart.
‘Is this why Rize came among many people?’
Rize calmly walked over, sat down next to the bed, and put down the tray. On top of it was a plate of steaming soup.
It wasn’t particularly heartbreaking or anything like that, but the timing to get angry had passed and I felt like I needed to eat something, so I reached for my soup bowl.
With a slap, Rize slapped the back of my hand with a cold face.
When I looked up with a question mark above my head, Rize picked up the soup dish herself, scooped it out with a spoon, and held it out.
“… … .”
The appeal of being able to eat alone didn’t work.
When I gave up my resistance and quietly accepted and ate the soup, Rize finally smiled brightly, put the spoon down on the tray, and opened her mouth.
“How far do you remember what happened yesterday?”
“How long do you think I can remember?”
He returned everything he had done to me at the beginning of the banquet. For a moment, I thought that I had taken a hit, but I saw Rize looking at me with a very meaningful smile on her face.
what kind of face is that
