Chapter 17 \nItâs the day of the unveiling party.\n
Early? No no, I thought there was still more than 30 days, but they all went by in a flash. Aside from just ordering, there was cooking, training, setting up the party, practicing, really, in a flash.I didnât open the shop at all. Well, thereâs no customers other than the Liner family coming so itâs fine. âŠâŠ Depressed.Iâll spread the name of the store with this job, mhm.
Oh, I got my license. A manual license.No, it may be necessary for the car Iâm bringing here, I thought since there are no proper roads I should get a manual car.(tl note: A car with a manual transmission)No, thatâs a story for another time, the one I bought was an automatic Kei(ăȘăŒăăăźè»œ). One where a bunch of luggage to be loaded in the back. Itâll only be used for shopping in nearby shops anyway and wonât do any long distance driving so being a light automobile is enough.âŠBig cars, my feet didnât properly reach the pedal! Even if the seat is adjustment a lot. When taking an impossible pose to reach, the front can no longer be seen properly. Thatâs why Iâm confident that I will crash if I drive them, mhm.
The venue was set up by Kunz-san, the woodworking engineer who was asked for the renovation of the shop. He understands the gist of the things I ask for, and his arms are reliable.Ah, the shop renovation work was satisfactory. It was cheap, but when I handed out additional payment he was very pleased. No, itâs not a matter of money, as in that a difficult task is completed with a satisfactory result and being acknowledged by the client who left such job.As a tip, I gave him an interior magazine or rather a book about architecture that I bought at a secondhand bookstore. Itâs nice that the damaged condition of the secondhand book makes it seem like a legendary book right. Itâs cheap.âŠâŠThen, I was called âgoddessâ.Mhm, worship to your heartâs content.
So, I was ready, I just have to wait for guests.
Guest of the debutante the for the Viscount Liner familyâs eldest daughter.(tl note: This is a perspective change)The Liner house is an emerging noble family, and there are nobles who take them lightly and make fun of them, but I, the Earl of Burder, Alberto von Burder, never thought so. Rather than the old houses that only cite the achievements of their ancient ancestors, it could be said that the Viscount Liner family thatâs raised directly by the father who made a big achievement has âbetter lineageâ than the rotten, stale houses.Besides, the hurdle to which a commoner acquires the knighthood and becomes a noble is much higher now than in old times. Furthermore, not the baron title but viscount. How great was first generationâŠ
And, I heard the current head has character and a good reputation. The daughterâs also beautifulâŠAt the moment it seems better to have a good relationship with them. Iâm sorry to think about it, but if by any chance an unforeseen situation befalls on the younger brother, whoâs the only boy, thereâs the possibility that their daughter would need a husband. If that happens, I wouldnât mind applying our third or fourth son.While thinking so, the earl was guided by servants and headed to the debutantâs venue.
Oh, the dish on the table seems a bit fewâŠ.Of course, it is natural that when the food on the plate decreases and then next dish is carried in, but even so the number of items is small. Is there something planned?The earl having entered the venue made a slightly dubious look while lightly dampening his throat with the wine received from a waiterâs tray, but instead of thinking deeply about it, he greeted familiar nobles and killed the time with a few pleasant chats.
And after a while, the greetings from the organizers finally started.First, comes the thank you for the visit by viscount Liner from a small stage set up ahead of the venue along with the introduction of the eldest daughter Adelaide. However, the daughter himself doesnât appear for some reason. What does this mean?The viscount disappears from the stage when his turn finished. The earl and his guests are in doubt.
Then.In front of the venue, the area where the Liner was standing is suddenly surrounded by white smoke. The earl thought, fire! for a moment, but the flow of the white smoke is strange. Seem like itâs blowing out from the side⊠He soon understood this is intentional from the calm appearances of the employees, the venue only makes a ruckus without going into confusion.Aside from those who have a son of age like earl Burder, the majority of nobles attended out of obligation. Unmanageable boredom from the few enjoyable things, just when they thought that it will probably be a boring party like usual again anyway, it seems that there will be something interesting so everyone becomes a little interested.\n
The white smoke quickly faded and swirls at a low position. Mysteriously, even if you take a little sniff of the smoke that is slightly flowing it isnât particularly smoky. However, I feel that the temperature has slightly fallen somehow.And then a voice came from nowhere.
âLadies and gentlemen, today is the unveiling of the treasure of the Liner house, the Fairy of Flowers Adelaide. Please look at her adorable figure!âThe voice of the unseen but audible little girl, despite being a state of being normally talking without shouting, it greatly resonated in the venue.
âMiss Adelaide, debut!âAlong with the voice, a scenery suddenly emerged on the white wall ahead. The venue is surprised.The scenery is a beautiful flower garden, where fairies dance. Coupled with the white smoke that faded considerably but still trails, the scenery is fantastic.And from the shade of the curtain, a single girl.
âââOhhh~~!âââ
Surprise voices rise from various places in the hall.A flower fairy wearing a pure white dress made of light fabric. From her form lightly dancing, not only the young boys but also the adults were deprived of their eyes and leaked a voice of admiration.The beauty of the girl, loveliness is a matter of course, but the dress that personâs wearing is wonderful! The finest silk material, never before seen brilliance and fineness, novel design. That sparkling, is it jewelry?
When the girl stopped at the center of the stage, she smiled toward the hall.
âThe one who catches me, who is it?â
The cheeks of the boys staring at Adelaide fluttering to leave behind the curtain are red. No, even the adults look a bitâŠ.
Hooray, the first part is a great success!At the side of the stage, Mitsuha whoâs in the shadow of the curtain and holding the microphone smiled.Speakers are placed at both ends of the stage. A lot of dry ice on top of hot water. A type of projector that can project from the side rather than from the front, and a laptop connected to it. The power supply for the projector is coming from a battery bought at the home center.
It was difficult to teach the acting and there was the problem of the microphone so Mitsuha will dub all the lines. The image projected by the projector was something she found on the net pasted with fairy images.Now behind the curtains, Adelaide is getting dressed quickly. The maid corps who repeatedly practiced many times, now is the time to show the results of that blood spitting training.Itâs almost time.
When the noise of the crowd subsides, the picture in front switches to something like a noblemanâs mansion somewhere, and the voice of the girl flow again.
âAiming at the absence of the lord, a flock of thieves attacks the territory! The majority of the soldiers are absent with the lord and only feudal lord âs wife and her troops remain.
Oh, now thatâs the setting!Earl Burder is overjoyed. It seems that most of the other guests have come to understand.But what kind of gimmick is that picture?\nThe girl steps on the stage again. Her clothes had changed. Blue-toned, princess armor? Her left hand is casually gripping a sword within its sheath. It was decorated with something flashy, like a treasure swordâŠâŠ.After that, the butler like old man continues. And two moves to the center of the stage.Mitsuhaâs solo dubbing begins.
âMadam, the bandits are now near the territoryâŠââIâll go. Prepare for all the remaining soldiersââYou can not! The few soldiers should be preserved. And if something should happen to madam! ââIf they are not used now, then when. And, when the husband is absent, it is my mission to protect the territory!â
In high spirits, Mitsuha speaks the lines that she had heard somewhere. Adelaide and the old butler gestures out the lines.
âI understand, I wonât stop you. Letâs hold them back and stop them at the river to buy time for your husbandâs return. Of course, I will be joining youââMhm, sorry. By the way, can I ask you one question?ââHa, what do you want to ask?ââBuying time is fine, but can we not annihilate them?â
Lines that I want to say someday, No. 3! Mitsuha is filled with emotion. Ahh, if only I could tell onii-chan about thisâŠ
The venue is very excited!Adelaide grasped the handle of the sword thatâs in the sheath with both hands in a reverse grip, âDonâ stabs it into the floor and turns toward the front. Everyone is fascinated by that dignified expression.
âI ask of you, are you my husbandâ
In the great cheer, the two again moved to the side of the stage.
Mhmmhm, excellent style! The god sword I bought in Akihabara for 18,000 yen, it was pretty good. Because the favored Adelaide wanted it, itâs planned to become her love sword. Although it doesnât cut, its made of metal so itâs quite heavy and maybe could be used for exercise.Now then, it is about time the last change of clothes is over. The end is normal. Because it is necessary to have a chat with everyone like this.
Adelaide appears. With a light pink lovely dress befitting her age. A product with all the managerâs might. The material, the design, the sewing, and her soul was poured into everything. She poured a bit too much. All of the 3 today, as if it was an opportunity that sheâll never get again in her lifetime, they were products that the manager literally burnt her life away to make.
âThe Fairy graduated today. From now on, Iâll do my best in society. Everyone, please get alongâAs I said that, Adelaide who descended from the front rather than the stageâs side and heading towards the audience seats was greeted with a huge applause this time. And, immediately gets surrounded by noble children making a large commotion.
âŠâŠFinished. Perfect mother! !(tl note: From TV drama Surgeon Horimori Shiugoro, he said Perfect mother after completing treatment)Adelaide, well done. Now if we can support each individual conversation with the cooking.Mitsuha clenches the microphone.
\nAh, it wouldnât be enough then.
