The first tea party of this season, hosted by his highness the crown prince was simply very very gorgeous.

 

Usually, at a tea party unlike an evening party, a musical performance by a string instrument quartet is done, this time however it is an orchestra.

It is splendid as well .

Rather than tea party, it might be closer to a garden party.

 

At the venue, the garden terrace had its glass doors separating inside and the exterior was left unlocked, it is possible to freely come and go.

 

At the back of the terrace, the voice of his highness the crown prince resonates from the stage which is a level higher than the surroundings.

I too, like everyone else looked in the direction towards his highness the crown prince.

His highness looks around the venue.

What I wonder…… somehow our eyes met?

Just for a moment it felt like our eyes were locked, his highness the crown prince’s gaze quickly disconnected.

 

“Today we have gathered. Blessed with refreshing clear skies like this, I am glad. Flowers are in full bloom with the arrival of genial spring, it will be pleasant. Everyone as well please enjoy.”

 

With the phrase as a signal the servers began to pour tea into each teacup.

 

We were seated at a table placed in the garden, engaging in lively conversations of fashion.

 

“Even so, Signora was the brand of the Edelweiss Earl house. Reputation of the Edelweiss Countess’ shoes have always been superb! As expected of Madame(Fujin) Edelweiss.” (TLN: I learned Madam=refined lady and Madame=married women though in this case I suppose both can be used since it seems Fujin means both.)

 

“Ufufu, Thank you very much. Mother as well shall be delighted.”

 

My ideas and design as long as it is exposed, because of various troubles, the design of Signora are Okaa-sama’s doings. Okaa-sama has also agreed to this.

In addition, rather than being designed by me, I believe that the reputation is good. The credibility, should I say is different. Sort of charismatic.

The model in question is excellent as an advertising sign!

 

“Also, surprisingly you’ve lost weight. You’ve said you were on a diet, what kind of things did you do?”

 

Among the traffic signal ladies a slightly chubby looking viscount daughter, known as Marietta-sama of yellow azalea(?/without hesitation), came leaning forward(in curiosity/excitement). (TLN:ひとよんで黄のマリエッタ様がずずい google says ずずい=Azalea while ずい=readily/without hesitation… since I don’t really understand Japanese sentence structure, they both seem to fit fairly well in this context.)

Marietta-sama is concerned but, if you let me say in my Oba-chan point of view, about this much plumpness however is charming typical of a young girl.

Well, diet is an eternal problem for young women.

However this is a chance.

 

“Yes, you’ve heard well! Please look this way(TLN: said extra polite I think)!

I took it out here, it is Signora’s prided new product merchandise to match high heels.

Please look at the sole here, here you have a ball right? To tell you the truth, this ball is the essential point of the diet. The feature of this shoe……”

 

“Cosette-jou! Cosette-jou!” (TLN: Jou=Miss so it’s Miss Cosette?)

 

“No, it is not expensive! Please look, this price! This time the price was specially allowed to be arranged. This time only! The price only for everyone here. The special service at this price will be limited to today’s orders! Saa(Now/Come)……”

 

“Coーseーーーーtte Joーーーーーーーーu!!!”

 

Screaming close to my ears, my shoulders were grasped and was shaken.

“Ha! ! With me, what is it now ……?”

If you’ve noticed it a crowd had formed around the table.

The memory of speaking with Remy-sama and friends is fuzzy. It seems like the consciousness was being hijacked.

I’m scared…… Here too I wonder if this is an influence of the game.

Somehow Remy-sama, and especially Marietta-sama I am afraid of the eyes looking. Entirely like a believer who sees a guru(founder of the religious sect).

In addition, the people around me were somewhat fat. It feels a bit hot……

 

“Cosette-jou, did you notice? His highness the crown prince is calling. May you accept and go over I wonder.”

 

“His highness the crown prince……? What for I wonder. I will right away.”

 

When I left my seat, greeting Remy-sama I followed the chamberlain.

AN: Thank you for your feedback! Sorry for the slow reply, but I am gratefully reading them all. Because I am keeping my efforts to update, it will be late but I will definitely reply.

I will continue to do my best, please treat me favourably, and thank you very much.

 

TL: Although this has nothing to do with the story (and probably a very old author note), I felt its good to still acknowledge the author’s feelings, so I’ve translated the note to their readers as well though I suppose most of us(myself included) can’t give them comments in their native language. So this is best I could do to show my appreciation. =/ It seems Author-san likes and treasures comments very much.
