Rei-chan said.

Right, I understand that

Misuzu nodded.

That’s why he had Minaho-oneesama convey his words

Ruriko. Jii-chan what?

Papa, Agnes put them all on!

Oh.

Looking at Agnes, she’s already wearing her clothes.

Then, let’s go! Ice cream!

Returning to the dining room.

Okay, have some ice cream after taking a bath!

Nei, wearing an apron, welcomes us.

She’s not wearing a maid uniform.

She’s wearing her usual clothes with an apron, so we can return home right away.

But, this look is good.

Also, we have drinks prepared, just say what you want

Mana comes out wearing plain clothes and apron.

Also.

I’d be happy to take your orders too

Mizushima Karen-san?

Oh right. Karen-san is Misuzu’s pet.

She remained here, not going with the girls back to the Kuromori mansion.

She’s wearing a maid clothing.

Well, she went here yesterday wearing a party dress and remained here.

She has no change of clothes.

That’s the maid clothing for Luna and Koyomi-chan. I mean, it’s the same size.

Oh, you’re put to work right away

Momoko-neechan told Karen-san.

This is just part of my duty.

Karen-san replies.

I see. It must be hard dropping from a member of the nobility to a commoner

Karen-san’s family, Mizushima house, had their rights as a noble family revoked because of the sin of letting an intruder come to the Kouzuki house’s party.

It was a gathering of the precious young ladies of other noble families so there are no circumstances put in consideration.

From here on, Karen-san will serve the Kouzuki house. And her goal should be returning to nobility with her next generation.

Therefore, Karen-san is currently Misuzu’s servant, her pet.

Give me hot coffee. Just black. I want to clear my head a bit Certainly

Karen-san received Momoko-neechan’s order.

Okay now, those who want ice cream bring in your plates and get in line

Nei brings in an ice cream maker machine on a wagon.

She takes out a vanilla ice cream from the silver sparkle machine and rounds it on the plate.

Err, our guests are. Oh, it’s just Momoko-chan and Sebas-chan! It’s Sebastianus

Yamada Umeko-san retorts sharply.

Oh right, sorry. Well then, you can have your share first, Momoko-neechan! Here, enjoy

Ruriko grabs the ice cream spoon and goes before Momoko-neechan

Thank you

Momoko-neechan thanked Ruriko despite her ill-humor.

Yamada-san too, go ahead Thank you. It’s Sebastianus

Yamada Umeko-san is confused as the young lady of the Kouzuki house is giving her priority.

Onii-sama too Agnes can go ahead Eh, Papa, go first Oh, sure, I’ll go ahead

I scoop in some ice cream.

You sure are disciplined

Momoko-neechan looked at us coldly.

However.

Okay, this is Agnes-chan’s share

She’s surprised that Ruriko gave Agnes the next ice cream.

Why this girl first? Shouldn’t it be Misuzu next to Kou-chan?

Huh?

If you think of the order in this house, shouldn’t that be the case?

Order.

Momoko-neechan’s first because she’s a guest.

Misuzu should be next since she’s a member of the Kouzuki house and is the older of the group, but.

I’m Misuzu’s fiance so I received ice cream first due to male domination.

Then, Misuzu should be after me.

That’s how it should be if you think like the nobility.

It’s irrelevant. We’re a family. The small ones go first

Ruriko said.

Uhm, should Agnes help out with Karen-chan preparing tea?

Agnes asks worriedly, but.

No need. Agnes-chan’s role, for now, is to stay next to Danna-sama

Misuzu said.

Then, the next ice cream goes to Reika-oneesama

Ruriko hands over a plate of ice cream to Rei-chan.

Thank you

Momoko-neechan.

What’s going on? Fujimiya Reika-san is a servant of the Kouzuki house!

She’s a top elite bodyguard among the top of Kouzuki house.

Because we’re family

Ruriko replies with a smile.

Next is Yoshiko-oneesama, Misuzu-oneesama, Edie-san, Mariko-san, Michi-san, and then Nei-oneesama, Mana-san, and Karen-san who prepared this, and then I will be the last one to take the ice cream

That’s Ruriko’s order in the family.

Is it okay for me to be in that family?

Yoshiko-san asks worriedly.

It’s okay. After all, Yoshiko-san is Misuzu and Ruriko’s cousin, and it’s nothing different. No matter the result of your conversation later, Yoshiko-san is still family to us. That won’t change

I said.

i’m sorry. I’m so incompetent

Yoshiko-san has fallen to self-hatred as she couldn’t find her place.

Yoshiko-san, don’t apologize, you’re family. Stop that But.

Hmm.

This is deeply rooted.

Yoshiko-san never thought of anything this complicated before.

Here, black coffee, black tea, and oolong tea are ready!

Mana comes from the kitchen pushing a wagon full of containers of drinks and cups and glasses.

Karen-san too.

Here’s your black coffee

Mana hands over the cup to Momoko-neechan.

Then, she didn’t go to Yamada-san next.

Yamada-san seems to have ordered black tea.

Mana brings out the coffee first, then.

Then, she brings in the black tea.

Oolong tea is iced so Karen poured it on a glass.

You seem to be quite sloppy

Momoko-neechan speaks a harsh but honest opinion to Mana.

I know. It’s the order. I lived in a world that’s quite close to that area after all

Mana was a member of the Shirasaka house.

But, that’s just irrelevant. That’s why I’m doing what’s rational Oh? It sure is relevant, isn’t it?

Momoko-neechan glared at Mana.

It’s irrelevant. I no longer have to honor the idea that the nobles are great so I don’t need to live with such weird common sense

Mana said.

This place only has family and their friends, so it would be weird to talk about the order or something like that What’s this, are you mocking me? That’s not really my intention but I just think that you’re dumb Hey, Mana, you’re exaggerating

I intervened in a hurry.

That’s right, Mana-chan. Stupid people don’t know that they’re stupid. It’s useless to tell them about it

Nei said with a smile.

Guessing that Yamada Umeko-san is going for combat, Michi and Edie half raised their feet.

Misuzu, is the Kouzuki house this rude to their guests?

Momoko-neechan throws her anger to Misuzu.

I see. Kaan house didn’t teach their people how to be a decent and polite guest

Nei said.

I’m talking to Misuzu! Oh? I thought you were talking to Mana-chan? I’m the daughter of the Kaan house! A member of nobility! And we already said that it’s irrelevant here

Momoko-neechan and Nei continue their confrontation.

This is going to end up in a fight.

What do we do?

Then.

Oh, I see. So that’s how it is

Mariko suddenly speaks up.

Kaan-sama, I think you should work on your observation skills a bit more

She said and looked at Momoko-neechan.

Earlier, when Kuromori-sama suddenly appeared in the bath and talked about what she had to say, it might be painfully true to Kaan-sama and Kouzuki Yoshiko-sama, but. What do you mean by that, Mariko?

Momoko-neechan speaks in displeasure.

No. That’s just the first message?

Message?

The second one is that Fujimiya Reika-san came over wearing plain clothes. She switched with Kuromori-sama. That means that she’s not in her working hours.This isn’t an official work, is it?

Mariko asks Rei-chan.

Of course. I’m just a member of the family right now
