No need, Kou-chan, stay here. Sebastianus, let’s go
Yes, Ojou-sama
In the end, Misuzu, Ruriko, Yoshiko-san, and the bodyguard of the Kouzuki ladies, Michi;
They all went to see Momoko-neechan off.
Mariko, see you tomorrow in school
Yes, Momoko-oneesama! Good night!
Yes
Mariko’s staying.
Well yeah, this is the Kouzuki mansion.
Either way, the entrance is a long way to go.
Momoko-neechan’s car is probably waiting at the front entrance, outside the private area where everyone other than the family is banned.
If Mariko, who isn’t from the Kouzuki house, or us, sends her off, it would seem weird to the servants of the Kouzuki house.
Then, goodbye everyone
Bye-bye! Let’s meet again!
Yeah, later!
Eat the snacks okay?
Bye! Momoko-neechan
Agnes, Nei, Mana, and I greet her off.
Edie’s just smiling.
Momoko-neechan turned around and waved her hand. Yamada Umeko-san bowed her head.
Then, they finally left the room.
Misuzu and the girls went with them.
Haa
I sighed loudly.
Still, that was some heavy pressure.
Kaan Momoko-neechan has a lot of pressure in her.
It’s amazing to think that you even had Momoko-oneesama bring handmade souveniers
Mariko told Nei.
Well of course. It’s not a message just for Momoko-chan but for the Kaan house as well
Huh?
Instead of an oral report where Momoko-neechan says that she got along with the Kouzuki house and there were no problems, it’s clearly easier to understand what happened if she brings Ruri-chan’s handmade sweets
Oh, right.
Momoko-neechan’s father and Grandfather know that she came to this place.
Naturally, they’ll worry a lot.
An ordinary souvenir doesn’t work on wealthy men, see? But since it’s personally made by Ruri-chan, it has it’s meaning
A sign of friendship.
Nei-oneechan, I did the same work though
Sorry about that Mana-chan.
Nei apologized to Mana.
It’s okay. Momoko will surely talk about Mana back at her home. That also includes Agnes
Edie.
Minaho’s selection is the best. An irregular ordinary girl who isn’t a daughter of nobility, but, their beauty is extreme, that’s why she listened to Mariko and us
What does that mean?
I asked.
Momoko who doesn’t know anything other than the world of nobility is her first cultural exchange. This is Momoko’s first time talking to someone who isn’t from the nobility
I think that’s right
Mariko looked down.
Momoko knows that even girls who aren’t young ladies aren’t idiots, that they’re earnest. She learned that they can become friends
From the conversation earlier.
But, we needed three girls who are far too beautiful to crush Momoko’s prejudice on ordinary girls
Momoko-oneesama loves cute girls after all
right, Mariko.
First, she had to take interest
But, the Takakura sisters can’t approach Momoko-neechan but still. Haiji, Eri, and Rie were cute enough
Well, they’re not like Nei and the exceptionally beautiful girls. But still.
They’re girls who exceed the definition of beauty.
Well, there’s a problem of elegance
Edie smiled wryly.
Huh, but. Mana speaks aloof, Ya-chan’s doing the usual, and Agnes is Agnes
Agnes!
They don’t speak elegantly at all, I don’t think.
It’s not about how they speak. But how they behave. The three of them move elegantly
Oh.
Mana’s origin is from the Shirasaka house.
Nei’s father is a trading company employee who’s dispatched to America, so she speaks a rough but her behavior is refined.
Agnes is going to Misuzu’s school from now on, and so she’s trained to act elegantly all the time.
Right. If Kaan Momoko-sama were to find someone at the same table eating messily, she won’t be able to hold it and leave her seat
Rei-chan said.
She would mind it too much that she will be fed up with it. Isn’t there an old saying in Europe that the soup slurping sound breaks up couples? They can’t bear to be in the same place anymore
Reika’s right. Momoko’s been observing us how we eat the ice cream and how we take our drinks
Right, we all ate ice cream after taking a bath.
I looked at the tableware left.
Oh, everyone had a clean plate. No unnecessary stain on the plates.
I mean, my plate is the messiest of them all.
Then, am I in a bad spot? I didn’t eat that cleanly
I think that I’m raised the worst compared to everyone here.
Darling’s a guy, so you’re a wild card. Rather, Momoko finds it interesting
Why?
Well, that’s because Kou’s never been nervous in front of Momoko-oneesama
Mariko said.
Ordinary men would feel nervous dining together with Momoko-oneesama. Doing all their best to control themselves, making sure that they don’t make mistakes in their etiquette
Papa just ate food deliciously
Well yeah, it’s cold, sweet, and delicious
It cools down my tired body.
It’s okay, even if Kou’s a bit dull. You have your guts to sit it out, that’s your charm. Just continue to stay unfazed like that
Mariko said.
But, Edie-san’s presence is actually influential I believe
Rei-chan said.
Me?
Yes. You haven’t noticed it yourself but Edie-san, you’re quite a beauty too. Besides, with the halforeign Agnes-chan and the American Edie-san with her brown skin, it’s plenty international, isn’t it? I think that Kaan Momoko-sama minds those things If you’re saying that then it applies to you too, Rei-chan
Nei laughed.
Rei-chan is the adult who’s watching over. Remember Momoko-chan’s bodyguard, the girl wearing male clothing?
Right, Yamada Umeko Sebastianusan wears male clothing.
I think that she’s mimicking the old Rei-chan, right? Meaning, she’s a Rei-chan fan
Me?
She probably saw Rei-chan wearing that British Gentleman suit at a party somewhere. Then, she became a fan since then!
Kouzuki SS is a bodyguard company specialized in nobility.
Momoko-neechan should’ve met her at some point.
I never heard of this. Where did you get that info?
Mariko is curious but.
No, it’s not information but just intuition!
Intuition.
Minaho-oneechan’s intuition too
Nei said.
There is an artist named Kenneth Clarke in England. There was a hunch that this man discovered Botticelli’s forgery. This face looks like the American actress Jean Harlow, he said. How could an Italian Renaissance writer know a Hollywood movie actress?
Edie said.
Looking at Yamada Umeko-san’s male clothing style, it would seem like she’s imitating the old Rei-chan
I think so. Well, even if the intuition is off the mark it’s still okay. We know that Momoko-neechan isn’t cautious of Rei-chan
To Momoko-neechan, Kouzuki SS are people who serve the nobility.
She didn’t resist compared to the other adults. She didn’t act weird when she sits with Misuzu and Ruriko.
But, if our intuition is correct, we have more points of dominance!
Haa, that’s quite the schemer of you
Mariko’s impressed.
I’m the eldest sister after all!
Nei speaks brightly.
Right, changing your personnel creates different results
That’s right, Yo-chan. People are like that. It’s not about what to talk about but who
Yeah.
For now, giving Momoko-neechan the otherworld cultural exchange is enough. As long as Momoko-neechan accepts the people who aren’t from the world of nobility, then that’s good enough. Asking for more would be too much. What’s left is to slowly repeat the exchanges Right
Much less asking Momoko-chan to have sex with Yo-chan. That would be a huge problem
Huh?
Look. Momoko-chan’s father and Grandfather would be waiting in their homes thinking What kind of face will our daughter return with
O-Oh.
They’re all worried about the relationship with the Kouzuki house.
