I Became the Villainess’s Brother

46) Tea Party Planning

Lunch break at the Royal Windiria School.

The passage from the school building to the courtyard is glossy with red and yellow fallen leaves.

Me, Riley, and Eldor follow as I step on the sawdust and leaves.

The courtyard with beautiful red leaves is not very crowded today.

Guys, I guess we're going over to the air garden.

In the aerial garden, fallen leaves dance by magic.

I honestly appreciate Riley inviting me to this courtyard because I don't like the fact that there are a lot of people left.

I wonder if Riley and the girls who are looking for Eldor are asking about this one on the far roll.

Although I think the aim of the older sisters is definitely Eldor.

If Eldor was a nobleman, an engagement application letter must have arrived by now.

The girls' hot gaze is pouring on me too.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, you can't see Master Eldor or Master Riley!!

I mean, it's a killer's gaze!

"You want to pay me back what I owe you."

Riley gently lifts her hair as she strolls through the courtyard.

Pale brown soft habitual hair shines brilliantly through the sun.

The girls staring at Riley on the far roll went out of their way.

... Riley looks good after all.

Andy, who was the target of the maiden game, is naturally a beautiful boy.

But Riley is as good as her brother Andy.

Really, why didn't you appear as an offensive target for the maiden game?

Why didn't it even exist in the first place?

Eldor appeared as my worst servant in both appearance and contents.

It is a mystery.

"Aren't we talking about just having a tea party at Riley's house?

I'm not sure what's bothering Riley from earlier, and I tilt my neck.

"Invite Shreddy to a Tea Party with Andy"

That's all.

I really want Shreddy to have some fun with Andy because I still owe him one, too.

So Riley is wrinkling her eyebrows when she wants to throw a tea party.

I think if we hold it at Riley's house, Andy will follow us soon.

It's my home.

You mean follow me, or is it normal to be there already?

Andy hasn't enrolled in the Royal Windilia School yet, so the study is for tutors only.

So scheduling should be easier than us.

If you're invited to another family's tea party, there's no problem if you're not Andy.

I think Shreddy would be happy to come back with two replies if he told her that Andy was here.

However, it's only after I've checked her schedule exactly.

She's the Marquis de Paperia, so there's a good chance her plans are jammed.

"If I could do it at home, I wouldn't be bothered."

"Is there a reason you can't?

"... Seriously, don't you understand?

Riley says in a bit of a grudge.

I wonder what it is.

Would it have been any event at Riley's house?

Andy's birthday party was done the other day, and Riley doesn't originally have a birthday party.

My oldest brother's birthday is not autumn.

Hmm?

Riley shrugged in a sigh of relief at me.

"Lady Duke of Vermouth Odile"

"Ah."

Vermouth!

At the moment you say it, a cheeky silver-haired twin-tailed face floats in my head.

Shit, I forgot.

Even the other birthday party was still perfect for Andy, Duke's Lady.

Just because Andy was intimate, she even made Fortuna look hostile.

Half-baked and intense in character.

About Shreddy can counteract such a vermouth.

If I were Shreddy, I'd be able to handle it with a vermouth.

But then, the tea party will be sparkling.

"The Weimar family is the Count's, and you can't possibly not send invitations to the top Duke's."

That's right.

Even if a senior nobleman can refuse an invitation from a lower nobleman, it is difficult for a lower nobleman to refuse a higher nobleman.

And it's impossible first of all that lower nobles don't send invitations to higher nobles.

So if you're hosting a tea party at the Weimar family, you have to send an invitation to the Duke of Odile's house as well.

In addition to the vermouth, the Duke of Odile has his lady and son as well.

But I don't think Andy's obsessed vermouth will miss the opportunity to meet Andy.

If I invite her, at the end of the day, she'll come even if it's not addressed to her.

"Then why don't we hold it at my house"

"You can't possibly not invite the Duke of Odile home to a tea party at the Duke of Jackberry's."

"Can't you? I don't think I'd complain if I didn't invite you."

Instead of complaining, can't you file a complaint?

Although it's the same Duke house as the Duke of Odile, the Jackberry family is slightly more, isn't it?

No, I'd rather have a clear advantage now.

An accident at a mine in Marken last year.

At that time, the House of the Duke of Jackberry immediately moved, minimizing the damage, and until the mines settled, went straight to supporting life.

Because of that, you're so thankful for the Duke of Jackberry home in the city of Marken, and the amount of demon ore mined is jumping more than usual.

Although there are many demonic ores in the city of Marken that are suitable for accessories, they are naturally also used for accessories dedicated to royalty.

Even our less friendly neighbor, the kingdom of Montedyne, has a glimpse into the glow of the Devil's Gem or something.

Well, I recently found out in a conversation from Jas.

If we hadn't gone to the city of Marken with patience.

Rachel's father, who was seriously injured, could not be treated, nor could Dr. Joshua immediately call Marken.

Without Dr. Joshua, you might have lost them with skill, without being able to help the trapped miners immediately, right?

Then the damage to the city of Marken would not have been the same as it is now, and the mining volume could have dropped a lot and the power of the Jackberry family could have waned.

If power diminishes, only for what it diminishes, something that can be forcefully turned down becomes impossible to turn down.

Like a strong engagement to Fortuna.

So I think it's a good thing we can maintain our strength without ambition.

In the sense of the right to refuse the impossible.

I've really worried about Eldor, so I won't do it in confidence again, though.

Though I think that's the story, the Jackberries don't have to send an invitation to the Duke of Odile's house, but I don't think it's a problem.

If I send an invitation, Vermouth won't come aboard my ugly tea party.

If it's a tea party in my name, Riley won't think Andy's coming anyway.

"Hmm, I knew if we held it in the name of the Duke of Jackberry's house, there would be a few other warlords out of the way besides Vermouth"

"Really?"

"... there are mountains of nobles who want to be associated with the House of the Duke of Jackberry"

Riley squeaks in the sigh mix.

That would be there, but your lady would seriously hate it.

Have an edge = Me and my engagement, so.

Yeah, but.

It would be pathetic if you had a courtier who could force you to attend, without defying your parents.

I don't snort about getting engaged by mistake, but you don't know that. The ladies are in a sacrificial mood, do you?

I can't get an invitation from the Duke of Jackberry's house through first.

Uh, then, are you sure you can't hold a tea party?

Eldor, who had remained silent until then, opened his mouth as me and Riley roared with wrinkles between his eyebrows.

"One, may I?

"Hmm?"

"Tea party, rather than a big event, is it impossible for Master Shreddy to go to the Weimar family as Riley's friend"

Me and Riley meet each other as much as we want.

That's right.

I wish Andy and Shreddy could make tea, even if it's not a tea party that's gonna stick around without any disturbing ladies.

Because of his neat aristocracy, I couldn't think of anything as simple as that.

You're a genius.

"I'm afraid so."

To Riley's praise, Eldor bows his head.

Eldor, seriously perfect.

Ringorn, the sound of ringorn and loudly ringing chimes is like the sound of a blessing bell.

"Isn't that the sound of this bell, the end of the lunch break?

"Ah."

Oh, shit!

Whatever we are, doesn't civilian Eldor suck at being late?!

"Don't worry, Master Langley. I'm fine with being a little late."

"No, you have a problem, don't you?!

"Because the next class is magic practice. Keep going through the courtyard and you'll make it."

To me in panic, Eldor makes a slight grin even in his faceless face.

With such a farewell to Eldor, me and Riley ran out to the classroom with all our might.

Must I be noble?

It's okay, there's nobody around but us anymore!

"Next class. Sure we're magic too, right?!

"It's not a practical technique, it's a classroom."

If it was a practical skill, we could afford to go through the courtyard to the side of the school yard and then head to the actual court.

Every day, I hope I can't breathe out running so hard because I make the marathon my routine, but this, my definitely teacher is already in the classroom.

"The Benedict guy, it's this one."

As he runs, Riley pounds his tongue lightly.

That's right.

Unlike Rhodevake, I'm not the only one who sees me as an enemy, but Magic Teacher Benedict, too, is, like, somehow incompatible.

Jump onto the school building magic formation, run down the hallway from the side where you came down, and hop onto the next magic formation.

When I look at the clock, it's five minutes past the chime ringing.

You'd better give up hope that that magic teacher who comes just in time isn't in the classroom today.

"I wish I was punished to the extent of a copy of the Book of Magic."

"It can't be that sweet. The dundles in the meantime, they were sorting blue eels, and they were really crying."

If you ask me, yes.

Marquis Dundle Watton, the son of the Marquis, slept in the momentum that interfered with the class, and Benedict was pushing a ton of blue eels.

It is not possible to pinch each one with a stick because it is as big as the middle finger of an adult, and its crust and delicate.

He said he had to take one at a time with his bare hands... oh, I just imagined it and I got goosebumps.

Our classroom moved upstairs, so me and Riley sneak footsteps without running, and still head to the classroom in a fast-paced fashion.

"Oh?"

"Huh?"

Turning around the corner, there was Shreddy.

For some reason in my hand, I hold a cartridge and a book of magic.

"Oh, it's not. Where and what were you both doing?"

"By accident, you were talking. Besides, isn't it late for Shreddy to be here?

I've been waiting for you.

Sighing, Shreddy hands me and Riley a giant cartridge of paper.

"Is this the magic map you're gonna use in your next class?

"Yeah, I am. I was Dr. Benedict's assistant this time. Please help me take it."

"I think the classroom is right there."

"Langley, guess what. Take this and we're not late. I was just picking up the tools for my next class."

"I saw you running into the school building."

To Shreddy urging me to go with a bitter smile, I'm really not going to get my head up anymore.

If you look next door, Riley is smiling bitterly, too.

Absolutely, try to have a successful cup of tea with Andy.

The moment I walked into the classroom, I saw Benedict's cold gaze and a glass container with a large amount of black, early items in my hand, and I was strong and determined.
