Local Netizen Elf’s Life In Another World

Case 25: Imperial buffet.

Awkward, this is awkward.

It's been some minutes since I finished my popsicle, and now all four of us are sitting at the table in silence.

So most likely my girlfriends saw Christina's less than decent gaze towards me sucking the popsicle earlier, now their stare towards her is colder than even outer space.

Christina, the culprit herself is still grinning and staring at me.

So, what I need to do now is decided. Get the hell out of here.

''Well, that was a good experience, Christina. Thank you so much for the hospitality.'' I force a smile and say.

''You're welcome, Sylvia, I needed to do this much if it's you.'' Christina nods lightly.

''But now we need to go back to our place to prepare for tonight's ball, unfortunately.'' I slowly stand up.

''Oh, is that so, I wanted to accompany you for a little longer... But I understand, let me see you off.''

''No need for that, Christina, we can just fly from your balcony.'' 

''Ah, that's right, get back safely. We will meet again tonight, Sylvia.''

''Um.''

So we leave the mansion through the balcony and fly back to the residence. The Princess here will inform Julius if he ever asks anyway.

Back in our room, Liana turns to me with her eyes narrowed. ''That girl, she was aiming for you.''

''Well, I thought so too.'' I reply.

''I don't like it.'' Emy interjects, hugging me from the back.

''She wasn't being very obvious though, so I can't do anything yet, I'll tell her that I have girlfriends next time.'' I let out a sigh.

''That's that, but now what do we do? There's seven hours before the ball starts.'' Liana sits down on the bed.

''Yeah... I don't want to go outside either.'' I stroke Emy's hand gently.

''...We can do this.'' Emy reaches her right hand to my crotch.

''Aha.'' Liana grins.

Ehhh...

After a three-hour session of intense babymaking, it's now time to get ready for the ball tonight.

I might have accidentally obliterated my foot with a shotgun by choosing a dress that exposes almost 40% of my upper chest today. I need to cover it, not even the thickest powder can save me from these bite marks.

So I'm thinking like, maybe wear an additional cape over the dress, would that work?

''I think a coat should be fine, but do we have a good design for it?'' Says Liana, turning to one of the maids.

Don't say it nonchalantly like it's not your business, you were the one who bit me the most, traitor.

''I think we might have one with the same design as the dress, my lady.'' The maid replies and starts to rummage through the mountain of dresses.

''Oh, that looks quite nice.'' I say, looking at the cape which has a slightly lighter blue color than the dress, and of course stars. Not too long, not too short, and can hide the marks perfectly as well. 

We'll still apply makeup on the marks just to be sure though, ah, it stings...

It's almost 8 P.M, which is the time for the ball to start. I'm not exactly sure about that part though, we were just told to enter when it's 8, but either way, we're now fully dressed up, nice and pretty, and ready to go.

Frankly, I didn't know what the hell to do at the ball, so I decided with my two partners to just go around together and try the food there. Basically a buffet. That sounds way better than a ball.

Of course, Julius will attend as well, I heard this is the first time in a long period that elves actually attend a party like this. So I need to navigate this well, for the food.

Dad said that we should dig more information out of the nobles, but I don't think we can do that here, the preferred targets should be children and teenagers, but at this ball, they usually go with their parents as well, so it'll be suspicious.

Conclusion? Just chill and do nothing. Well, eat, but.

Anyway, looking at the gate of the palace right now from our room, people are still flocking in, creating a long line of cars, going by car myself seems tedious.

''Let's fly there.'' I tell my partners and several maids still in the room. ''Tell Julius to get here, I'll fly all of us together, going through the gate doesn't seem like a good idea.''

'"' ...Understood, Your Highness. ''" The maids excuse themselves.

''Hah, that would be a flashy entrance. I like it.'' Liana grins.

I simply shrug.

After a bit, Julius and our guards come in, and we all fly to the palace. The scenery looking down from here is pretty amazing.

Landing near the front door of the main building, we successfully startle the two attendants standing near the door.

After a bit of persuading to make sure they don't consider us terrorists, it is time for the buffet.

Opening the door, all the noises that I've just heard before all disappear in an instant.

I keep a poker face as I'm walking in the hall, enduring the stares from all the people here.

Hmm, where is it... Oh, there we go, my buffet.

But it would be weird to go straight to eating, let's get some drinks first.

In complete silence, I wave one of the maids standing still near me: ''Excuse me, can we get some drinks?''

***** 

''Excuse me, can we get some drinks?''

The crystal clear and soft voice breaks everyone out of their trance, although as nobles, they have seen lots of good-looking people before, one example would be the members of the Imperial Family, who are known for their beauty.

But never before have they seen a person this beautiful, it is as though the goddess herself has descended into this world. No, looking at that magnificent pair of softness, she IS the goddess. Now that they are looking, even the two ladies beside the goddess at the front are on the same level of beauty. Simply stunning.

They have heard of them before—elves.

But this is the first time they have seen one, they're indeed like the rumors. But aren't elves known for their modest chest...? What happened to that one?

The hall breaks into murmuring, everyone is whispering while looking at the new people.

A few are readying themselves to approach the ladies, but before they can move, someone has stolen their place.

***** 

While I'm drinking idly with my girlfriends, someone approaches me.

''We met again, Sylvia.'' It's Christina.

''Yes, and... The dress suits you, Christina." I say, that ín't a lie, the red A-line dress really suits her, she's actively showing off her big breasts as well, but that size is still inferior to me, heh.

''My, thank you, you're gorgeous, as always, Sylvia.'' Says Christina, smiling brightly.

''Mhmm.''

Stop it, my girlfriends are starting to get mad.

''How about we go get some food? It's a while before the dance starts anyway.''

''Alright.'' What? There's dance? I don't know how to though, do I just breakdancing here?

Anyway, we follow Christina to grab some food. I saw a lot of delicious-looking ones earlier...

I use my fork to stab a piece of French fries, dipping it into the ketchup, and absolutely devouring it.

Having Christina sticking with us the whole time proved to be very beneficial, she doesn't do anything over the line anyway, and there were only three brave souls bold enough to approach two princesses and two high noble elves, but of course, we shoo-ed them away, don't interrupt my eating.

Besides those three, people just looking at us from afar, whispering stuff. I can use magic to enhance my hearing, in fact, that's what I'm doing right now. They're mostly talking about how beautiful we are, but occasionally some bastards are looking at us with eyes full of lust as well, annoying.

But anyway, I'm pretty satisfied with the food here, do we bail out now?

''HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR HAS ARRIVED!!''

Jesus that's loud.

The door opens, and the Emperor and his two sons walk in together. Everyone bows their head 45 degrees, but we're not them, so fuck this dude, I just throw another piece of French fries into my mouth, not like he can do anything to me anyway.

Yeah, no, I don't like this guy, he's making my work way more difficult by invading other countries.

The emperor walks up to a podium of sort, and starts to talk.

''Thank you for coming today,...''

Bla bla bla, long ass speech, you're not the principal. Basically, he thanks all of us for coming here, and there are special guests tonight, which are us.

''Then, let the dance begin.'' He finishes the 10-year-long speech and disappears somewhere.

''Well, it's time to run.'' I speak up, placing down my plate and my glass.

'''' Eh? ''''

I grab both of my lovers and drag them outside to the balcony.

Now outside, I look at both of them. ''I don't like dancing, so.''

''Me neither.''

''I don't as well.''

I knew it, they didn't like dancing before.

''But... Why are you here, Christina?'' I turn to the redhead.

''Please don't leave me out like that, Sylvia, I'm not comfortable dancing either.'' She replies with a bitter smile.

''Well, we can spend some time here, then.'' I let out a sign and make four chairs facing each other with mana. I need to rest my legs.

''!!'' Christina widens her eyes. ''Incredible, not everyone can do this, you know?''

I just shrug and sit down on one of the chairs. My lovers are on each side.

Christina sits opposite me. Then she opens her mouth.

''But, it seems like you guys are getting along exceptionally well, no?''

''Ah, they're my girlfriends.'' I tell her bluntly.

''That's right, so you might want to stop whatever you're trying to cook up here, Your Highness.'' Liana adds with a devilish grin, Emy nods as well.

'''' ... ''''

Christina bows her head for a bit. After a few seconds of silence, she abruptly raises her head to look straight at me, her smile crooked, her cheeks red, eyes have hints of madness in them.

''If you think I was going to give up just because of that, then you're very wrong.'' She declares confidently. ''I don't mind sharing you with other people, as long as you are fine with it, but...I will make sure I have you, Sylvia.''

My whole body is shivering, I'm not sure if it's because of fear or what. I've never seen this type of possessiveness before.

Emy and Liana narrow their eyes.

''But for now, I'm contented being your friend, Sylvia, let's get along?'' Christina says, returning to her usual expression.

...This is insane.
