Well, a lot happened, but we have achieved our goals
Misuzu smiled at me.
Thank you. Danna-sama No, I didn’t do anything but look timid, you did all the work here, Misuzu and everyone
Misuzu, the host of the party, stood firm.
Ruriko who acts conservatively behind Misuzu.
Then, Yoshiko-san who follows up to the young ladies around.
The maids of Kouzuki SS who are now cleaning up the grounds.
Indeed, I’m grateful to Yoshiko-oneesama
Though she’s acknowledged as Jii-chan, as Kouzuki house’s daughter,
Yoshiko-san is an illegitimate daughter of Jii-chan’s first son, that means, she’s not the legal wife’s daughter.
Furthermore, she served Ruriko as her attendant.
She seems to feel awkward to stand in line with Misuzu and Ruriko as the successors of Kouzuki house.
Therefore, she takes a step back and stays there by choice.
No, Yoshiko-san has to stand behind,
Some are still opposing Yoshiko-san, and some might try to bully her.
Some who want to get inside Kouzuki house will force and support Yoshiko-san, but it’s inevitable.
And likewise, I’m also thankful to Danna-sama
Misuzu?
Danna-sama was here with me today, and so I’m able to do my best. I know that Danna-sama’s watching me after all
She smiles.
I see Yes
Misuzu grabs my hand.
Then, she entwines our fingers.
Yes. Well, it’s great that it’s over. We also did a proper debut for Agnes, and Yomi and the girls
I’m more worried about Agnes than the nobility moving forward.
Somehow, they accepted her without any bad impressions
They will all enter Misuzu’s school.
All as girls related to Kouzuki house.
Indeed. Everyone present is all daughters of influential people, and so if they show no worry, other students will also accept them
Misuzu said.
Mana’s the only one left, but. Right, we should consider the best route for Mana-chan
Haa.
Kouzuki house’s power is limited, that we can only enroll Agnes, Yomi, Luna, and Koyomi-chan.
Koyomi-chan is the attendant of Princess Agnes, and Luna’s the bodyguard. Agnes is a relative of Kouzuki house and is a princess from the Middle East, and the two servants are acceptable.
Yomi is assigned as Ruriko’s bodyguard.
Tsukiko too.
I muttered.
I thought of enrolling Tsukiko as Yoshiko-san’s attendant, but.
Tsukiko herself declared that she won’t attend high school and so we called it off.
It looks like she wants to concentrate on her shrine maiden training and getting pregnant.
Her determination to succeed the Takakura shrine also means wanting to avoid going outside unprepared.
She would go to school with Misuzu and Ruriko so her security should be safe.
We explained that Yomi and Luna will also attend the same school, but,
Tsukiko’s decision didn’t change.
It’s impossible to have Tsukiko-san serve Yoshiko-oneesama as an attendant
Misuzu said.
She always behaves elegantly as a shrine maiden. Besides, it is too late for her to serve someone else Yeah, she’s serving God after all
She’s a shrine maiden.
No. Tsukiko-san serves Danna-sama
Misuzu smiles.
Therefore, I think that she can’t serve Yoshiko-oneesama, even if it’s an act. Other people will find it out right away.
Yoshiko-san, who’s been serving Ruriko her entire life until now, isn’t accustomed to people serving her either.
And if bundled with Tsukiko, nobody can see them as Master and Servant.
Mana-chan too
Yeah, Mana.
She can’t become Ruriko or Yoshiko-san’s servant.
Mana-chan’s becoming more beautiful too
Currently, Mana is just like Agnes, she’s too beautiful and graceful to look like a servant.
She’s a former young lady of Shirasaka house, she’s not good at serving other people.
Also, she doesn’t have Yomi and Luna’s powers, so she can’t become a bodyguard either.
Even so, Agnes looks like a foreigner so we can push the idea that she’s a princess studying abroad incognito, but.
Mana is a Japanese, no matter how you look at her.
It’s better if we wait until spring for Mana-chan’s enrollment. The traces of her past still remains
Misuzu said.
Yeah, students in Misuzu’s school have girls who have seen Shirasaka Maika in parties before.
We need a bit more time before the scent of Maika completely disappears.
It should be more comfortable once Yomi-chan makes a lot of friends in our school
Mana and Yomi are both 14-year-old.
Yomi will enter first, making it easier for Mana to join in the school life later.
Yomi-chan already knows everyone’s face from this party. She’s studying under Michi for her bodyguard role, and she has connections with Kouzuki SS, and so the other girls would show respect
Kouzuki Misuzu’s bodyguard, Kudou Michi, has shown and verified her skill against Kyouko-san and Tendou Otome.
She has Michi and Kouzuki SS at her back, and she also holds some mysterious skills, nobody would try and bully her.
Well, with her bright and unyielding personality will surely get her friends right away.
We will find a new route by spring
Yeah, the gathering today had those who neglected contact make an exchange.
Mana should enter not from Kouzuki house but from another family.
If we want to do that, we need to get along with Momoko-neechan a little more and get to a relationship where she accepts a request.
Auu
While Misuzu and I are talking.
Agnes and Koyomi-chan come over.
What’s wrong, Agnes?
There are no more guests, yet, why are you still so nervous?
bakerata! Err, princess Agnesama.
Agnes, Koyomi-chan?
No, you don’t have to do that anymore But.
Koyomi-chan looks at Torii-san and Adelheid-san talking to Ruriko and Edie on the other side.
They’re still here. And they show some doubts Auu, bakerata
Oh, I see.
Agnes is extremely cautious with people outside the family.
Koyomi-chan can sense that emotion from Agnes.
I’ll deal with them
Misuzu said.
Putting that aside, don’t you have a request for Danna-sama? uu, Bakerata!
Oh right,
Come here, Agnes
I squat and spread my arms.
Bakerata!
Agnes. She jumps to my chest.
She hugs my body tightly.
Bakerata, bakerata, bakerata There, there, that must’ve been scary to have people watch you like that, it’s okay now
I hug Agnes’ small body back.
She can’t cling hard to Ruriko or me while the other girls are watching, but.
She actually wanted to hug this tightly.
You did your best today, good job, Agnes, Auu, bakerata
Agnes sighs in my arms.
Karen
Misuzu calls her new servant standing behind her.
Yes, Misuzu-sama?
The 12-year-old girl replied immediately.
You heard various things on your way to the courtyard, didn’t you?
Right, Mizushima Karen-san.
She heard Agnes speak Japanese without a problem inside the mansion.
Yes, Misuzu-sama. However, I thought that servants shouldn’t ask anything their Master doesn’t want them to ask
Karen-san was silent when Agnes is announced as a princess from the Middle East or when she speaks nothing but bakerata.
That applies to Masters as well. Most of the guests here earlier know that Agnes-chan isn’t a real princess. But, Kouzuki house publicly announced her as such, and so everyone shows generosity and respect Wait, they knew it?
Well, I thought so.
There’s no problem. If the people present earlier accepted it, the student in our school will all accept Agnes-chan. Though they know that she’s not a princess from the middle east, there is still no mistaking that Kouzuki house treats her preciously Misuzu said and looked at Karen-san. Karen, you passed Grandfather’s first test
