My father is the president, and my grandfather is the founder!

Mariko puffs her chest.

She’s that kind of rich girl.

Even if Kana-senpai explains it, the tennis girls are looking at Mariko with dumbfounded faces.

I guess the image of a girl suddenly appearing and telling them that she’s the daughter of the president of a global company doesn’t connect in their head.

That’s right, I’m what they call an Ojou-sama And, I brought some presents for being so good to my best friend, Kana

Mariko looked at me.

You can put the box there and show what’s inside to everyone

I did as told and put the box on the floor and opened it.

Wow, it’s packed!

Wait, isn’t this one really expensive?

That cute bottle over there, I saw them go on sale just last week!

The tennis girls all got captured by Mariko’s high-class cosmetics.

This box and the box Edie brought in. All three of them are for you girls

Mariko said with a smile on her face.

this is bad, Mariko!

Kana-senpai.

I mean, these are expensive, right? This or this, wow, this one’s expensive but a popular foundation! This is impossible to get!

Why, Kana?

Mariko asks back calmly.

Well, this is bad

What’s bad about it? We just got too many so I’m giving it away

Mariko said the tennis girls are surprised.

They send some to me every month. They just deliver so many. That’s why it’s accumulating

Send?

Deliver?

Accumulating?

Kana-senpai and the girls can’t understand what Mariko’s talking about.

I’m a shareholder so.well, it’s a little different than the so-called normal shareholder benefits where the company gives you tens of thousands of yen per year. I own a huge percentage of the company’s stock. That’s why they make sure to send me the products they’re selling now and the new ones they’re launching eeh? Wait a second. Mariko’s father also owns the cosmetics company in addition to his job at Torii Electronics?

Kana-senpai asks.

No! Father doesn’t do stocks, he’s busy with his work at Torii Electronics. I’m the shareholder!

Speaking of which, I heard that Mariko’s learning how to do stocks from Kaan Momoko-neechan.

I own shares from various companies. Like I own stocks on three cosmetic makers right now. That’s why we have three boxes here. The three companies send me their products every month Mariko said.

I’m a major shareholder so I check how well the products are doing. If I find a bad product, then I make sure to tell the company that sold me. But, three companies kept sending more and more so I’m having a hard time keeping up with the pile Then.

So, I thought that it would be a huge help to the girls who are usually helping out Kana

But, Mariko, you could’ve just handed it to your friends at school instead of us

Kana-senpai who was happy to receive the high-end products from Katsuko-nee seems to be put off by the number of cosmetics she’s receiving this time.

This won’t do with girls in our school. They sure are getting the same products as I am

Mariko’s right, the school she goes to is only open to the young ladies of nobility and wealthy daughters that Jii-chan screens.

I mean, the daughters of the founders of these cosmetic products are also students of our school. I can’t just give these away to the students if they’re there

Oh right, this company is one of the old ones. This was from the Meiji era if I recall correctly

Kana-senpai saw the company logo on the product inside the box.

Oh, sorry, I only brought Japanese manufacturer cosmetics. As expected, foreign companies don’t send one to me all the time, just sometimes

Sometimes, so they still do.

this girl’s a celeb!

wow

Kana-san’s best friends with her too!

The tennis girls are speechless, but they have figured out that Mariko’s the real deal

Katsuko-san’s going to apply makeup to them, right? Then you can use these as much as you like. You won’t know what they do until you use them after all

Mariko told Katsuko-nee.

Yes, thank you. I’ll use them

Also, you can bring home whichever you like. I’m giving all these to you girls

Mariko emphasized it once again.

Mariko-san, help us do the makeup for the girls too!

Nei comes from the cafeteria and shouted.

Katsuko-oneechan, Mariko-san, and me! The three of us can cooperate together and we’ll finish sooner!

Yes, please do, Mariko-san

Katsuko-nee also asked for Mariko’s help.

Yes, if you’re okay with me. But Katsuko-san will still do the final check. They might not like the makeup I do on them

Mariko said cheerfully

Yes, you need to balance the whole thing so the girls the two of us will make up will still need to show it to Katsuko-oneechan and make adjustments

Nei said.

It’s a bakery terrace cafe for the tennis girls, so it’s a bad idea to make the makeup too flashy.

Katsuko-nee will do the final adjustments.

Well then, let’s go to the cafeteria!

Nei calls the tennis girls.

Kana, you need to get in shape

Mariko taps Kana-senpai’s chest.

right, we’re getting Katsuko-san to do our makeup in turns so we can prepare to open the terrace cafe while they’re at it!

O-Okay!

The tennis girls replied.

Now they can stand proud when the TV coverage comes.

That’s one of the problems fixed.

We’ll use the school year and alphabetic order. Those who are free can start working. Mariko’s giving them later anyway so don’t think about it for now! You don’t have time to pick what you want right now. We’re not going for first-come-first-serve! If there’s a lot who want a single item, then we’ll be deciding with rock-paper-scissors by the end of the day Kana-senpai gave instructions.

Darling, let’s go back. They’re good now

Edie came over and said.

Yeah, we should

Katsuko-nee, Nei, Mariko, and Kana-senpai will be okay here.

I also have my place to be.

1384. School Festival Day 2 Make-up

Well, for your skin tone, I think this would be a good choice

The monitor in the bakery shows the tennis girls getting their makeup in the corner of the cafeteria

I check on them from time to time while working on my pastry.

Katsuko-nee, Mariko, and Nei set up the chairs and the girls take turns getting their makeup.

Right next to it is one of the desks in the cafeteria, and Nei brought her makeup kit from the mansion and the three boxes of makeup that Mariko brought there so it’s readily accessible.

I want to use this, but.

A senior from the tennis club points at the cosmetics Mariko brought over.

Oh, this one? If that’s the case, this and this should be better

Mariko quickly pulls out her cosmetics and a few other items from the box.

Katsuko-san, can we match this two?

Mariko shows the cosmetics she picked to Katsuko-nee, who’s doing makeup on the girls.

I think that combo is fine but it would be better for this girl if you get a darker foundation color

Katsuko-nee compares the makeup to the girl’s face and replies.

Oh, I see. You’re right

Mariko took out a different colored foundation immediately.

Once you’re done doing makeup, show it to me

Yes, please do Katsuko-san

Mariko started doing makeup for the senior girl after responding to Katsuko-nee.

Meanwhile, Nei;

Okay, we’re done! Katsuko-oneechan, check!

Nei shows the girl she did makeup on to Katsuko-nee.

Wow, Nei-san’s amazing with make-up!

You’re looking fifty percent more beautiful than the usual!

The girls who are waiting for their turns say loudly.

That’s good, but they’re high-school girls so you should do the eyeliner like this

Katsuko-nee reached her hand and made some adjustments to the girl Nei did makeup on.

And in your case, you should raise your bangs here. Do you have a hairpin?
