Chapter 363
The Grand Mansion of the Duke of Grants.
As soon as I entered the annex building, not the main building of the mansion, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
First of all, the detached dining room was filled with delicious smells.
Naturally, there were tons of food spread out on the table.
But it wasn’t the food that mattered.
“Here.”
Ellen.
“… … .”
Harriet.
“Wow, you’re here… … .”
Adelia.
“Uh, um… … . he came? Reinhardt.”
Up to Cliffman there.
“This is all… … . What?”
Not understanding the situation, Liana stabbed me in the side with her elbow.
“What is it? I thought you were going to do something because you looked bad, but I just asked you to have a party.”
Food is also food.
Seeing that everyone was wearing aprons, it looked as if they had made all the food themselves.
It looks like I’m in a bad mood, but you won’t tell me why.
So I’m trying to console them somehow, but I didn’t know what to do, so I planned a surprise party or something.
This doesn’t solve the problem, nor does it relieve my psychological anxiety about the things I’m facing.
The more I see these guys thinking like this, the more I fear the future.
This is of no use to anyone.
The better the present, the more afraid of the future.
This is something I don’t really need.
Because the day will come someday when you will miss this moment.
“uh… … . Are you crying?”
Liana’s trembling voice broke the silence and resonated in the dining room.
It sounded like he was genuinely perplexed, and the other kids were also staring at me with their mouths open.
“Crazy, what are you talking about! Why am I crying?”
“Oh, no… … . You bastard, are you really crying?”
Liana made a fuss about what she saw wrong.
Not even kids.
It’s been a while since I cried and cried over things like this.
“I’m not crying!”
Would I cry!
I wonder if the kids will cry because they threw a surprise party for me!
how am i Do you know how old he really is?
“… … this.”
Ellen came up to me and held out a tissue.
No, I don’t cry. Why do I need this?
“Are you not crying?”
Didn’t cry.
I don’t even know what came out of my eyes without knowing.
I don’t know.
“Yeah, I know you don’t cry, so this.”
at last,
I accepted the tissue Ellen gave me.
“Sickness… … .”
Something.
I wasn’t defeated, but I felt lost.
and.
there is such a kid
A kid who cries when someone cries, not knowing why.
“Black… … .”
“no… … . You, why are you crying?”
“Boo… … . Mo, I don’t know… … .”
Harriet suddenly cried along, causing Liana to faint for the second time.
“this.”
“Uh, uh… … . black… … .”
Ellen also handed out toilet paper to Harriet.
* * *
I didn’t cry, but Harriet did. I believe so.
Of course, the kids think differently, but it’s none of my business.
So, in the end, although it was a surprise party, a luxurious dinner was held. So, eating is normal.
It was definitely not an atmosphere like a social party, with musicians playing songs and dancing.
From the looks of it, it’s clear that Liana doesn’t like that. When she tried to picture Rihanna dancing at her social party in her dress, she felt bad.
I think you’re going to sit with your legs crossed and just notice the men approaching you, telling them to go away because they’re not doing anything?
Of course, I don’t know what it actually is.
There was a lot of prepared food.
Ellen said the other day that she could cook properly, but it was surprising that she did Harriet, Adelia, and even Cliff.
“… … Were you dragged?”
“… … Because it seems that there will be a shortage of workers.”
It seems that Cliffman was attached by Liana.
Did you become Liana’s exclusive slave?
Actually, I don’t know if it’s a reward, but I don’t know if you like it.
no.
Calling it school bullying at this point is kind of funny.
I wonder who made what.
-omnyomnyom
It’s Ellen, no matter what I eat, I can’t tell because I’m eating everything in front of me.
– Flinch!
What Harriet had made was obvious. They secretly notice what I am touching, and when I try to touch it, they look at me with eyes full of anticipation.
But it’s pretty strange.
Creamy pasta in front of you.
Judging by the glance, it seems clear that Harriet made it.
But honestly.
A character like you definitely shouldn’t be able to cook at a time like this, right?
It looks fine, but in fact, sugar was added instead of salt, or I think it should develop like that?
In the end, it was clear that I would be very disappointed if I didn’t eat it, so I closed my eyes and ate a bite.
“how is it? How are you?”
Harriet, who had become so red that I was scared to eat, asked me.
what?
Why is it just delicious?
It’s not a huge delicacy, but thinking that Harriet made it, it felt more delicious than it actually was, perhaps because of the quirk correction.
“… … Why is it delicious?”
At my words, Harriet narrowed her brows.
“what. If it’s delicious, it’s delicious, what the hell do you mean by why it’s delicious?”
“No, why do you know how to cook?”
“Did you follow the recipe written in the cookbook?”
ah.
Are you saying that if you follow the recipe as measured with a ruler, you can’t taste it?
You cooked with the honor student approach. On the contrary, thinking like that made me wonder if it was rather impossible that Harriet couldn’t cook.
It’s the first time, but it’s like this. Doesn’t he also have a great talent for cooking?
Even though the types of food were different, the feeling came.
This is delicious, but everything I wanted was done by Ellen.
Harriet did almost everything I thought was okay.
“… … .”
“… … .”
There were some things that were not very tasty.
“That’s the first time… … . Because it’s the first time… … .”
“No, it’s rather natural that this is the first time. I don’t think you did anything wrong.”
The Yorich attribute was taken by Adelia. No, it’s not even something that could be called Yorichi. It’s my first time, but Harriet, who is good at it, is strange.
It seems that Cliffman was in charge of preparing materials and other chores.
Eventually, the hearty meal came to an end.
“Anyway, thanks everyone.”
I honestly expressed my gratitude to everyone who said that a guy like me was depressed and did this in unison.
* * *
The party didn’t end there. We nodded our heads in agreement to the words that we came to the Duke of Grantz to play anyway, and that there were many empty rooms, so we should sleep for a day.
I wasn’t particularly busy right now, so I had plenty of time.
Even though it was not the main building, but a separate building, it was at the same level as the main building of a decent mansion.
Liana’s thoughts are obvious.
It is clear that he intends to have a big drink with the kids today. It’s broad daylight and the workers notice it, so it’s not the time yet, but it’s clear that they’re looking for an opportunity.
It is clear that the reason why we were brought to the annex building was to avoid the gaze of the servants and their families in the main building.
Of course, such a drinking party only takes place around the evening.
“But since it’s winter vacation, I want to go somewhere to play.”
Liana muttered as she lay on Cliffman’s thigh and trimmed her nails.
Cliffman was frozen, unable to do anything.
At first glance, it should look exciting and sweet.
Liana seems to think it’s just a substitute for a pillow.
“Hey man.”
“Uh, uh… … .”
Cliffman, his face reddened, hesitated without even making eye contact when Liana called out to him while looking up.
“Is there anywhere you want to go?”
“Nana? me?!”
“Then I asked you, did you ask someone else?”
“That, that, that. that, that… … .”
“… … No, why are you so flustered?”
Liana smiled as she looked up at Cliffman.
“Ah, did you hear that the two of you are going?”
“Oh no?! no. Oh no. not. place?”
“It’s sinister. Why do you want to go out with me? uh?”
“Oh no! no! No!”
“what? no? You don’t like it now?”
“Oh, that, no, no… … .”
“Good? You two want to go play?”
“Sah, save me… … . My, I was all wrong… … .”
Liana giggled at Cliffman’s declaration of surrender, whose complexion had turned pale, and Harriet lost her senses looking at Liana. Harriet taps me on the shoulder and whispers softly.
“Liana is a bit… … . I see you sometimes… … . Hey… … .”
“It’s evil.”
At my words, Harriet’s eyes widened.
I wanted to say no, but seeing that the word no came out in the end, I seemed to strongly agree.
As if Adelia couldn’t see it with her eyes open, her face was so red that she couldn’t look at it at all.
-omnyomnyom
Ellen was just munching on macarons.
Aside from playing a prank on Cliffman, Liana seemed to want to go play before winter break ended.
So, there was a sudden discussion about where to go for winter vacation.
As the conversation progressed, what was interesting was that only Cliff, who had human depression, had the most reactions. Most of it was stuttering, but talking was second only to Liana.
While the story was going on, I honestly wasn’t sure if I would go along, so I came outside. In the name of going for a walk.
It seems that the fact that we are here as guests has already been reported to Duke Grantz, so we can go around freely.
however.
Am I too?
Isn’t it polite to say hello to your parents when you visit a friend’s house?
Just coming over to play without saying a word and having a good time, is that some kind of proof that I haven’t completely moved away from Confucian ideology?
I was embarrassed for nothing, but I didn’t want to take the lead in saying hello to Duke Grantz. Because that’s funny too.
I wandered around the garden of the mansion near the annex.
It was winter, so there were no flowers, and it was a garden with well-arranged hedges.
Being able to have a mansion of this size in the imperial capital made it possible to feel once again how powerful the finances and power of the Duke of Grantz were.
It’s like seeing how he supports his daughter, who spends money like water like Riana, indefinitely.
If you think about it, in the original work or now, in our grade, almost all of those with strong backgrounds are in A class.
Bertus de Gradias.
Liana de Granz.
Harriet de Saintoine.
Heinrich von Schwarz.
Of course, Erhi is also a noble, but he is not that powerful.
On the other hand, in Class B, if Charlotte is excluded, there is only one Anna de Guerna from aristocratic background. Of course, it’s more like a wizard family, like Harriet, rather than an aristocrat.
anyway.
After wandering here and there, they eventually came to the mansion of the Duke of Grantz.
Come to think of it, if Liana asked to see your house, she would have brought her any number of times, so it wasn’t such a difficult place to come to.
I’m walking in the winter garden like that.
A person who was never expected to meet in a place like this was entering through the main gate of the mansion, guided by a servant.
“hmm.”
“… … ah.”
“Reinhard-kun, I didn’t expect to see you in a place like this.”
A middle-aged man taking off his bowler hat slightly to say hello.
“ah… … . Long time no see.”
In this situation, in this place.
why are you here
It gave me goosebumps.
Merchant Guild Master.
It was Owen de Getmora.
