A few days after the tea party with Liz.

The station chief called me while I was at work.

When I went to the station chief's office, the station chief greeted me with his hands tied to the desk.

"I heard you called me...."

"Ah, yes, well, sit down."

When prompted by the station chief, he sat on the sofa of the reception set, and the station chief also moved away from the desk.

What I have in my hand is a letter that was on the waiting desk the other day.

The moment I saw it, I had a bad feeling about what Liz was saying at the tea party the other day.

The director sat on the sofa and put the letter in front of me.

The seal was already opened after the contents of the letter were checked.

"Um, what is this?"

That's an invitation.

"Invitation......"

A hunch is something that hits me when I don't like it.

Ask about the letter placed in front of you while cramping, and you will get the answer you expected.

Oh, my God.

He said in his heart, "Wow," and he also appeared on his face.

The director also gave me a bitter smile and told me how it went so far.

The aristocracy finally ruled that the banning of [Virgin] socializing had been lifted after the show had ended.

The next behavior of those who make that determination is determined.

It's an invitation to my house.

For this reason, it seems that an invitation to a tea party or evening party addressed to [Virgin] was received in the Royal Palace, which serves as a point of contact.

"Have you come so many?"

"Ah, they came from more than half the houses."

Well, more than half.

You don't say almost all of the houses you've never seen in a crusade, do you?

I see the director talking with distant eyes somewhere, and I get dusk together.

Nevertheless, only one invitation was actually placed in front of me.

For some reason, only the invitation that was missed at the Royal Court's discretion has been delivered to me.

The royal palace seems to have received a considerable number of invitations, but the royal palace opened them all and checked their contents.

I am talking about whether it is okay for others to open the invitation addressed to me, but I don't care about what has been confirmed.

So far, private letters have been delivered to the lab, and most to the royal palace are invitations to socialize.

Even if someone sees a letter like that in direct mail, I don't think so.

In the first place, you rarely receive private letters.

I wonder if Corinna from Klausner's territory or the Chamber of Commerce will be able to get a report on the sales of cosmetics.

After that, a thank-you note will be sent from the local lords to crush the monsters.

It is also a good effort to check the sender of a large number of invitations to determine whether or not to participate.

I have also learned about the nobility of this country in lectures at the royal palace, but it is still difficult to immediately determine the political part, such as the faction to which the sender belongs and the power relationship.

Especially for houses that have never been involved before.

That's why the royal palace thinks this situation is so much appreciated.

Besides, the royal palace will send you a reply to the rejection, so there's no need.

"But you've only received one copy so far."

"Ah. Instead, it's definitely going to be mandatory."

Really? I hear you can say no. "

"If you really want to say no, I don't mind.I think I should join. "

I am the director who always respects my will, but I rarely recommend participating this time.

When he raised his eyebrows, the director said, "Look behind you."

Turning over the letter, the sealed wax of the sight came into my eyes.

"I sent home a house headed by the biggest faction of civilians.Normally, you can't refuse an invitation first. "

"That's true. I also learned to lecture."

"In addition, the fact that it has arrived so far means that the Royal Palace side decided that it would be better to keep his face connected."

That's what I'm talking about.

"If you refuse, you'll be invited again soon.I think you should take it now. "

The director is right.

If you're going to be invited again, you'd better take it this time.

I don't have any particular reason to say no.

Moreover, I nod to the judgment of the Royal Palace side that the director said.

There are many ways to divide a faction, but there are some that depend on what kind of profession people in the house produce.

In that way, the house I know is biased in favour of the military.

Because I often meet people from the Knights and the Imperial Magic Division during monster crusades.

Conversely, apart from the crusades, they are sometimes brought to the lab, and there are few civilian acquaintances.

Given the position, it is problematic to be biased.

If you do this again, you may want to take advantage of this to eliminate bias.

"Then I'd like to accept this invitation."

"Shouldn't I look inside?"

Ah, yes.

I was just about to reply without looking inside.

Confirm the contents of the invitation after being pointed out by the director.

I was invited to a tea party at noon.

If it is in accordance with the basics, it seems that only women will participate.

The problem is the sender.

It is the home of someone I know, but the sender is a family member of someone I know.

What does this mean?

I couldn't think of a reason for this, so I gave up thinking right away.

"Anything to watch out for? Dress codes."

"There doesn't seem to be anything in particular. It's like a regular daytime tea party."

Well then, I'll tell him I'll be at the royal palace.

"Thank you."

It seems that the Royal Palace will respond as well as if you refuse.

Even if I take one of the letters in reply, there are many things to decide, so the consideration is very helpful.

Sweet to the director's words, I entrusted the rest to the Royal Palace.

Two weeks later, I took my feet to the tea party to which I was invited.

Today's dress belongs to a small floral fabric in white.

White ruffles and light blue ribbons are sewn on the collar and cuffs.

Accessories such as hats and gloves are also shaded to match the dress.

All these were chosen by the maids of the royal palace.

I also learned about dress codes in social areas in lectures, but I left it to the maids to choose.

I'm glad you chose it as a pleasure, so I'll leave it to you.

I was never good at choosing a dress, so I skipped it, no wonder.

I didn't worry about choosing a costume, but that's not why I'm not tired.

Use your health just to prepare.

I have been fighting in the royal palace since this morning, and by the time I got into the carriage, I had already exhausted my mental strength.

But we're going to do it now.

I tried to recover a little by the time I got to my destination, but I was thrilled in the carriage.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the Mansion, which was not a royal palace, but was likely to convince me that it was one of the detached palaces.

It's still good because it's three stories tall.

The side is wide anyway.

Probably depth, too.

This is the mansion of a house headed by the largest faction of civilians.

In general, I hear that noble houses in the realm are smaller than those in the realm, but what kind of houses are larger than this?

The mansion in front of me was huge enough to think so.

Seeing the carriage door open, take a breath and then step outside.

As he stepped out of the carriage with his hand in the hand of the escort, he saw the people lined up in front of the front door.

The number of people lined up is large, and I feel like I can pull my hips without the pressure.

The servants will be lined up in this mansion on the left and right.

And in the center of the front, there was a gorgeous powerful blonde beauty with blue eyes and a beautiful girl who was very similar to the beauty.

"Welcome, [Virgin]"

The beautiful girls and servants bowed together as the central beauty greeted the cartesies.

My cheeks were twitched and stretched, but I was careful not to cramp.

Then I answered their greetings with the smile of the lady trained in the manners lecture.

"I admire and admire you, and I am extremely happy. I'm Angelica Ashley."

"I'm Sei Takanashi. Thank you for inviting me today."

Yes, today you are invited to the Marquis of Ashley, Liz's home.

The tea party was hosted by Liz's mother, Marquis Ashley.

She is one of the highest ranking women in this country without a queen, except for the Virgin.

I get a very polite greeting from her with her head down, but my heart is a small citizen.

It is very distressing that so many people, including Marquis Ashley, have kept their heads down.

So I asked you to raise your head immediately after the greeting.

"I'm so glad you're gradually inviting me home."

"Welcome. Nice to meet you."

All of them raised their faces, including the servants, and then a beautiful girl who knew my personality well called out.

I smile back at that beautiful girl, Liz.

The greeting ended and Marquis Ashley led the way into the Mansion.

First of all, I was relieved that Daiichi Gate had slipped through.

After this, we will receive greetings from all the participants at the venue again, and we will have a little more time to consolidate.
