13-21 The Princess's Tea Party

Satou's here Even someone who's usually taciturn can talk fluently when it's about their favorite thing If you want to get along with soin by knowing their favorite thing

◇

"Thank you for inviting me to the tea party today--"

I bow like a retainer would before Princess Shistina, the sixth princess of Shiga Kingdom

The ones that have come to the tea party are only Arisa, Mia and one to the labyrinth They wished for it since they hadn't moved their bodies for awhile, so I sent them to the ht cooking tools were also with the the royal acade Shin boy

I finishcareful as to not make it seems rude

As doht lady's attendants and maids are packed inside

Every one of the eon Arisa and Mia-saht the snacks I talked about the other day It has been put inside the o ahead and enjoy it"

"Morning"

Arisa was talking about crepes

It was topped with strawberry and lulu's fruit ice creaerator for it too I istus

This is the first time I've been invited to a tea party by the princess, so I've brought so up the princess's preferences I heard frorance, self-made paper that felt nice to write on, a pen made from water stone that didn't need ink, and a box with lock for putting letters

Every one of them is adorned with pretty decorations that suit the princess, ood considering they were ave six-colored paper tags They're Arisa's and Mia's favorites, so a researcher should be happy with thes like pastry and perfumes to the personal attendants of the princess

They've been taking care of Arisa and Mia, so these ht

"This is the first tierator Perhaps, Viscount Pendragon made it?"

The princess asked with eyes full of expectation, but I can't exactly tell her YES

"No, it's a work of Tris ineer isn't it If I'oya Firht bycakes"

After hearing my conversation with the princess, one of the princess's attendant looked subtly dejected

A serator is convenient after all, so she probably wanted to have one nearby

Unlike the pen and the letter box that use the user's erator uses a crimson treasure ic source, so I can't give it

Beckoned by the princess, we sit on the sofa and then her personal ant tune

Mia seemed to be interested with the ed her to

When the princess touches the crystal pillar-like ins to circulate around us and the musicians' perfor device, so you can talk with ease"

"Thank you, Tina-saon, please relax ed

I see, so it's a free and easy party

Looks like Arisa and Mia are good friends with Princess Shistina

Apparently, even the special ic tool's function

"And so, Viscount Pendragon--"

"You can call me with just Satou"

My house name is a bit hard to say, so I tell her to use the easier one

For sorinding ely after I slip my arm away and pat their heads

"Then Sir Satou Could you please tell ock Dukedom?"

"Yes, it's fine At first I asked about the firework that was unpowder froreat after a long absence, so I succeeded telling a fabricated story about theof the firework spell without any trouble--

--Or so it should have been

"Then! Satou-saers in front of her chest looking so happy, staring at aze full of admiration

Oops

Maybe I should have told her that I found it in ancient docu Yamato's era and recreated it

No, it's widely known that the firework is et it exposed

"Nn, genius"

Mia nods

Afterward, we had a break when the ht the snacks and the tea, and then the four of us discussed about ic and spells so fluently I'd have never thought she was the same taciturn person like when she was in the Forbidden Library, she was debating with Arisa and Mia about ic

It's been two hours already, but their liveliness don't see

They look like Akiba warriors when they talk about aniames they like

◇

I hesitated as to whether I should show the spell that was requested through Arisa or not, but thinking that the princess probably won't use it for anything strange, I take out the docuht in so because of this, I could probably do soh Nanashi

"This is, don't tell ht spell, so I altered it a bit and made it so that it fulfills the request"

I pour water on the silver tray and then pour it with thick colored fruit juice

After stirring it with a wooden stir stick, I ask Mia to use the spell

"■■■■　■　■　■■　■■■ Reradually separating

Eventually, the water is on the left side, and the concentration of fruit juice is gathered on the right side They'll h for the spell experiment

I don't knohat she want to use this for, but this ! Satou-sa!"

The excited princess holds"sao
