Umuumu, the situation of the response to the invitation is as planned.
I have secretly leaked the fact that Sabine-chan and I will be joining the Sorority, to the people I absolutely want to have, and from the places where I have been forced to send invitations due to power relations, I have either received refusals or been ignored, as they do not want to be in the form of being under Viscount Reinerās Adelaide-chan.
ā¦ā¦All according to planā¦ā¦
Unlike the āSocietyā of the New Continent, here in the Old Continent, thereās no need to act behind the scenes or send someone to the center of the aristocratic society.
ā¦Or rather, Iām already on good terms with the king, the third princess, Prince Luchen-kun, the Prime Minister, and everyone in the Marquis Bozes household. So I donāt think thereās any need to infiltrate the upper echelons of the country any furtherā¦
So, that means, we donāt do the dark side stuff here, weāre just having fun together, and raising the attractiveness and merits of the members.
Yes, those whoāll try to attack me will be blocked by the explosive reactive armor in front of them, and be blown away by the explosion!
Fuhahahaha!

āOneesama, I heard you started something interesting!ā (Sabine)
āYouāve appeared, Sabine-chan!!ā (Mitsuha)
I was consulting with Adelaide-chan at Viscount Reinerās house, when Sabine-chan rushed in.
No, itās a visit from Her Royal Highness, isnāt it? Thereās no way theyād have her wait at the front door to intercede for their daughter, would they? A newly sprouted Viscountcyā¦
Therefore, the childrenās room was not informed in advance, and we were surprised by the Viscount-sama himself guiding her.
From my point of view, Viscount-sama seems to be superior, but in reality, Sabine-chan has exceptionally outclassed himā¦
And itās almost improbable for a princess to personally visit a mere Viscountās house.
ā¦ā¦Except for the Viscount Yamano household, that is.
Thatās why Viscount Reiner-sama is stiff and nervous, and even has a pale, bloodless face.
Well, he canāt imagine what would happen if he offended Her Royal Highness or did something improper.
Like the tea was too hot and burned her tongue, or that she fell on her own and scraped her knee.
No, in reality, neither Sabine-chan nor the king are people who would do something like that.
But I can only say that because I am on good terms with the royal family.
Ordinary lower-ranking nobles, however, can only see the kingās face from a distance once every few years, like in the throne room. And theyāll hear him speak in a serious manner.
And no matter how many rumors that heās a mild-mannered king, thatās not necessarily true for the lower nobility who have offended or injured his daughter.
Besides, he doesnāt know the purpose of Sabine-chanās visit.
Even if he thinks itās related to the āSororityā that Adelaide-chan started, it could be a complaint or protest about it.
ā¦ā¦Well, no wonder heās agitatedā¦ā¦
So, in order to reassure the Viscount-sama, firstā¦
āSabine-chanās position has already been decided. Honorary member and vice-president, my assistant and mascot. Also, when Colette-chan comes, Iāll take care of herā¦ Is there anything you donāt like about this?ā (Mitsuha)
āNone! As expected of Oneesama, you understand it quite well!ā (Sabine)
The smiling Sabine-chan made Viscount Reiner-sama release a sigh of relief.
All right, goodā¦
The relieved Viscount Reiner-sama left his seatā¦ It seems that heās not crazy enough to the extent of staying to listen to a chat between children. Although Iām sure he was curious about what her daughter would talk to the princess aboutā¦ We worked together for the rest of the day.
******
āThen, the 0th tea party should be like that, right? Colette-chan will also participate as a āmakeup modelā then?ā (Mitsuha)
āāNo objection!!āā
Adelaide-chan and Sabine-chan agreed when I proposed something similar to the New Continentās case.
The sense of security was different from a battle-proven, combat-proof strategyā¦
And then, itās the department storeās beauty section neechanās turn.
No, this time Iām not asking her to come to the hotel or something, like the first time, Iām just going to have her do Colette-chanās makeup at the department store, so itās a normal price.
ā¦ā¦Ah, for that role, Sabine-chan is fine as well!
No, no, no, that would leave Colette-chan out of it, and I am afraid to give Sabine-chan too powerful a weapon or even a hand to play.
I guess Iāll have to choose Colette-chan here after all.
Ah, Adelaide-chan is wearing a dress made by the benevolent store manager at her debutante ball, but her makeup is from this country. Thatās why, even when I said āMy home countryās makeup technologyā, she didnāt have much of a reaction.
ā¦Thatās not too much to ask, is it? To begin with, I myself use only basic cosmetics and lip balm, even though I am in a setting where a large number of relief supplies from my home country are delivered by my friendsā¦ In other words, from the point of view of people in this country, I am wearing almost no makeup at allā¦
In this country, even at the age of 12 or so, young ladies of the nobility wear a certain amount of makeup.
So, not only Adelaide-chan and Beatrice-chan, who are now 15 years old and have completed their debutante ball, but Sabine-chan, who is still in her latter half of 11 years old, is also properly wearing makeup.
As expected, people who still have perfectly natural skin donāt wear heavy makeup, just adjust their eyebrows and eyelashes, powder their cheeks, and apply lip gloss on their lips to brighten them upā¦
Anyway, I, who is considered to be a Kingās sister, am wearing almost no makeup, so thereās no way that Adelaide-chan would expect me to have the makeup skills of my home country.
However, Sabine-chan has seen people wearing Japanese-style makeup many times in Japan and on the New Continent.
Besides, she shouldāve known a lot about it from TV, DVDs, Blu-rays, fashion magazines, and so on.
ā¦But Sabine-chan is a beautiful girl, to begin with, and her skin is perfectly taken care of by her maids, even though sheās only 11 years old. And being only 11 years old makes her an invincible weapon, and she doesnāt seem very interested in makeup.
To begin with, Sabine-chan still doesnāt get the concept of ācatching a manās eye with her looksā.
Maybe itās because sheās still a child, or maybe itās the ācomfort zone of the powerfulāā¦
Anyway, thereās no concept of ānatural makeupā here.
Makeup is something that you apply.
Itās a showcase of the time, effort, and financial power of the family.
It seems that they donāt understand the concept of having to spend time and money to make it look natural so that it doesnāt stand outā¦
How disappointing.
Ah, of course, I understand.
I donāt think I need basic cosmetics or skincare items because Iām slowly but completely healed from all kinds of injuries.
Aside from so-called āmakeup cosmeticsā, which are used for applying and processing, basic cosmetics that are intended to keep the skin healthy and conditioned are unnecessary to meā¦
No, however!
As a woman, it takes courage to break this habit of mine that I have been doing for years.
ā¦If the rough or damaged skin, affected by ultraviolet rays, sebum, keratotic plugs clogged in pores, etc. are not covered by automatic supportā¦
And by the time I realize that, itāll already be too lateā¦
No way I can take such a risk!!
ā¦ā¦Ha~a~ ha~a~ā¦ā¦
Anyway, Iāll be keeping up the basic beauty and skincare regimen!
