Book 8: Chapter 6: Tea Party
After the mock battle, Edith and Clarice shook hands. We all went back to the mansion after that.
As we entered, I saw Mio and Annette talking inside.
Maybe she was also looking at the same thing; Irene then whispers next to me.
This mansion has become much livelier since Ive been here. Theres a lot of people nowI see, we could do that now!
As if an idea occurred to her, she hit her palm with the other hand clenched, like a gavel hitting a striking block.
Lets have a tea party to get to know each other better. We each have our own things to do on a daily basis, but it would be nice to get together for a face to face talk once in a while.
Fantastic idea, Lady Irene!
The usual Edith quickly followed suit.
Well, its true that its not often that everyone gets a chance to get together. It might be good to have a tea party as everyone is here.
Irenes cheeks gradually relaxed. Is the tea party in this world really that enjoyable?
Well then, we need to start the preparations right away.
Irene happily walks into the mansion. She looks happy as she heads to her maid, but watching her swivel that tight ass makes me feel satisfied as well.
A few days later, the appointed day of the tea party. The tea party was scheduled exactly when Suzette was coming back temporarily.
A room connected to the courtyard was used as an extension so that it wouldnt be too small even with so many people in the room.
The maids moved left and right with elegance as they paid attention to the entire venue.
Before I realized, a room with a calm atmosphere and a courtyard with a peaceful one under the blue sky had appeared before me.
It was the epitome setting for a tea party.
Ive had a chance to touch the elegant teacups since I came here, but this is the first time Ive actually seen a three-tiered cake stand.
The bottom tier is filled with sandwiches, the second tier is lined with colorful cakes, and the top tier is lined with cookies and other treats.
After a short opening remarks from Irene, the guests moved freely around the venue and engaged in lively conversations.
Thewes a lot of cakes and sweets! Its amazing! Nyaaa!
Dont be in such a hurry to oh, dear, youve got cream in your mouth.
Marietta was next to Nina, who was being swayed around by the latter as the former frolicked all over the place as if she found the tea party to be unusual. Ninas like a kitten who just got into a new house.

Annette and Mio were chatting elegantly in the room, as if they were used to such occasions with each other. The content of their discussions was difficult to understand, though.
Julie, I heard you are strong with your magic. How about we have a bout next time?
Im not a
Clarice just found another victim, which seems to be Julie.
At first glance, she seems to be troubled, but as Clarice didnt push the stuff further, it ended well. Everyone seems to be having a great time.
Its probably a good idea sometimes to get together in large numbers and have a good time, isnt it? Im sure Irenes aim was a great success.
I thought that as I watched everyone from a distance.
Whats wrong, master?
Edith? No, its nothing.
I gave a small shake of my head to Edith, who had come next to me before I realized.
But youre having a face that is unsuitable for the event. Care to tell me the reason?
Nah, its nothing, really. I was justlooking at everyone.
By the Eros, was that supposed to mean?
Uwaaa!
I jolted up involuntarily when Marietta approached me from right behind.
Since Sir Tomoaki is also a person who understands the teachings of the Eros religion, Id like to have you as my partner tonight
Big bwother, are you gonna do naughty things!?
Nina yelled out as well, quickly appearing at my feet.
I-I dont. Why are you all of a sudden-
I hurriedly deny it. I dont know what will happen if I speak something unwisely in such a place full of women.
Above all, this is not the kind of gathering were in today.
I see. We will keep that in mind for another time.
Thats too bad.
As I was turning my attention to everyone, Nina and Julie, who had also come to my side before I knew it, muttered ruefully.
Hahaha. Boy, youre still as popular as ever.
Mio, who came out of the room, approached me with a smirk on her face as she also joined with the women in the surroundings.
When I noticed, almost everyone has already gathered towards me.
Ah, Tomoaki, there you are
Aki!
Mister Tomoaki, can I talk to you for a moment?
It was already conspicuous that theyre gathered together, but even the other people are coming over here one after another.
Normally, it would be nice to be surrounded by beautiful women as it is, but today is a tea party hosted by Irene. It is truly not a good idea to destroy that atmosphere.
Im sorry! Maybe next time, I swear!
I quickly slipped out of the circle and ran away from everyone.
Ah, Tomo.
The tea party regained its original air as I took refuge in the corner.
As I was watching everyone from the edge, Irene came and stood next to me. Perhaps it was because she was the host today, but she was dressed closer to her formal attire than usual.
In this world where eroticism is commonplace, of course, her formal attire is also highly revealing and very sexy.
As shes dressed differently than usual, I cant help but look at Irene again.
She squinted dazzlingly as she looked at the members participating in the tea party.
She then sighs, looking at the bustling scene. Its not of a negative emotion, but a sigh of admiration.

I cant believe were having such a lively, fun time.
Irene spoke as she laid her hand on top of mine.
Then she turns her head towards me and smiles.
You see, I never thought it would become like this.
She muttered as she looked somewhere in the distance. She must be reminiscing about the past. I dont know what she was like before I met her, and even before they built this city.
What kind of hardships did she go through? I can listen to her stories, but I cant share the difficulties shes undergone in the past.
Her eyes return to the venue of the tea party as she squeezes my hand. Her thin, narrow hand wraps around mine.
This scene wouldnt have been possible without you, Tomo. Thank you so much.
Oh, no.. Its all because of Irenes hard work.
I, too, turn my attention to the tea party.
Suzette, who was working strictly as a parliament official, and Annette, who was in the central until recently, looked like they are having a great time.
The two of them are laughing like that because of this city.
No, its not as simple as that. Its because of you that things are now livelier, and its also you that we had already made this far. In fact, if you werent here, Tomo, wed now be
Her hand tightened a little.
Looking back, a lot of things have happened since I came to this city.
I feel like I was just desperately trying to keep up with the rapidly changing situation, though.
The parliament official Suzette came to town, followed by Mio, the ambassadors daughter.
Though I really barely did anything, aside from doing it with them, I am still glad I was able to help Irene in any way.
Thats not all.
She looked at todays participants, who were chatting and laughing animatedly without a care in the world.
Theyre all so happy right now, and that is in its true meaning. Thats something even I couldnt have done on my own.
Not only Irene, but all the people in this city had a tough time.
They have been driven out of the town where they were born, and some were almost sacrificed in prejudice. Each situation is different, but each of them has been discriminated against to a greater or lesser extent.
But now, in this city that Irene created, they are smiling.
Were only one breath away. Lets do our best.
I squeezed her hand back hard.
We have to get an audience with the queen at all costs.
First, we have to get the country to recognize this city.
Its impossible to change everything right away.
Thats why I have to do what I can do first.
Yes, lets work on it for the future.
Irene spoke back, and we turn our gaze to everyone, chatting happily with each other.
I wish for everyone to have a good time, not just the people here.
And more than anything else.
I look at Irene next to me. She notices my gaze and smiles gently.
For the sake of this woman whom I love, I decided that I will do my very best.
