Dinnertime

As Mark got his food for the night, he looked around the dining hall to try and find Dorothea. Hopefully she would forgive him for the encounter earlier.

He spotted her at the edge of one table with one of the other Black Eagle girls. Petra, he thought.

"Hey, Dorothea," Mark said, walking up to her. "I just wanted to apologize for earlier."

He looked straight into her eyes, making sure to not let his gaze drop this time. Though, it seemed like she was wearing signficantly less makeup than earlier. Not that it made her significantly less pr-

"Hey!" she scolded. "Eyes down here!"

Because he approached her from behind, then immediately looked straight at her face without letting his eyes wander, he didn't notice at first. But she had her uniform open all the way down to her torso, and underneath it there was... nothing. Her breasts were on full display.

"Wh-wh-" Mark asked, looking at her chest.

"That's better," she said.

"Why are your tits exposed?"

"What kind of question is that? How else are people going to know it's me?" Dorothea replied.

"What?"

"What's so hard about that to understand?" Dorothea asked.

He looked around. Despite Dorothea's boobs being out and on full display to anyone facing her, no one seemed to mind.

"is this some kind of prank?" he asked, looking around.

"Prank?" Dorothea asked. "What are you talking about?"

He looked at her again. "My boobs are down here!" she said, pointing towards her tits.

"Hey, Mark," a voice said. Mark turned around to see their teacher, Byleth, standing right next to them. "How are you doing on your first day?"

"I'm really confused," Mark said. "i think Dorothea's trying to prank me."

"Dorothea?" Byleth asked, looking at her. Or, more accurately, looking at her boobs. "What's this about a prank?"

"I have no idea what she's talking about, Professor," Dorothea replied. "Lately, he keeps looking at my face instead of my tits, so it makes me feel like he's not really paying attention to me."

What? What kind of logic was that?

Byleth turned to Mark, with no comment to Dorothea or her state of undress. "Mark? That's really disrespectful. Look at her boobs from now on, okay?"

She looked at Dorothea. "If there's another problem, I'll settle it."

Then she walked away.

No one else had their boobs exposed. Not even Petra or Byleth did. Then why was everyone just giving Dorothea a free pass? And why was she so insistent on everyone looking at them, when just an hour ago, she scolded him for doing the opposite?

Then he remembered. The earrings. What did he say earlier?

It might as well be normal for people to look at and recognize her best by her boobs instead of her face

And, he remembered the earrings heated up once he said that. Was that the cause of this?

He set his tray down next to them and pulled out the Hero's Relic he recieved earlier, then put them in his ears again.

What should he test?
