2 days later, at the Count Lanchen residenceObviously, I wore a proper dress and went to the party hallThe dress that I wear is a contribution as a representative of my home country as an example of [reverse tribute of bribery] (TN : slap me if I'm right, ドレスは、例の『詐欺同然の逆朝貢』で各国に貢がせたうちの一着だ)It seems like a luxury goods that cost a lot of money if you see it, with the highest materials and technology from the present earth were displayed, I don't need to explain how it appears in the eyes of people in this worldSomehow… It's a bit unpleasant.
Why is the size perfect you say? Height may be measured with the surrounding object by a hidden photograph, but why is the size of waist and bust perfect too you say…? Awesome! The power of spy! (TN : Umm…. is that captain at fault?)
Because you can't put a weapon on the upper body while using a dress, my self-defense equipment for today is only Walser PPS at my thigh.There is no way anyone would turn the women's skirt. Maybe. If it found out by chance, "Its impolite to bring a weapon in the party"," but this is a "sacred treasure" so it's okay!Sacred treasure must be worn forever, like an amulet or talisman (TN : wut?), you can't complaint.Say no more.
Actually, I can escape anytime if I am alone, so I don't have to use this gun except when forced to use it. If I don't have time to
escape, at that time it doesn't matter if I have a weapon or not.So, I have a reason for having a weapon [Just in case there is surprise attack to protect others].Even if everyone have a small group of guards, they can evacuate together, but if the number of people is large, its quite complicated and afterwards various trouble will come, so in that case it would be easier to remove enemies first.
Anyway, those noble noticed me quickly and approach me while I enter the venue and they think I am unarmed. But Earl Boses/Bozes immediately ran to me and pulled my hand.
"First, we must say hello to this party organizer!, Count Lanchen"He directly pulled meAs expected of Earl-sama, he properly escort me…….Oi, this is wrong! This is not how you escort someone! It is like a father who pulled away his daughter's hand…..…. Well, whatever…….
And then, before I noticed it, Alexis grabbing my other hand.Wa- wait, wait, is- is it that isn't it, [A figure of an alien while its arm grabbed by 2 CIA staff…] …..
"L-let me go please! I wouldn't run away!"Eventough I despite what they do, it seems they won't let go of my hands. I was pulled by Earl and his son toward the Court Lanchen family who is the part's organizer today.The Count Lanchen himself, the Countess, the eldest son, eldest \n
daughter, second daughter and the second son.
"Your Grace, Thank you for your invitation, I am so grateful….."I had no choice, I release my hand from their grip, somehow my greeting was decent enough.The Count Lanchen family looks surprised. Of course isn't it, what kind of performance is that when your hands gripped from both side….
"A- aah-…. Wel-Welcome, my pleasure to meet you…."Even the stuttered Count Lanchen managed to reply my greeting while still surprised, a man around 20's who seems to be Count's son rises suddenly, I stretched out my hand."Welcome to our humble place, I am the eldest son of Count Lanchen
..- eh?"
*Pull— in*
When my streched hand sweeps out and missed the Count son's hand while his jaw dropped, because Earl Bozez and Alexis grabbed my arms and pulled it back to the where it was right before the handshake happened.
"Well then, we are a bit busy, so we will excuse ourself"Is what the Earl said, Earl and Alexis-sama are walking out while lifting me up. No, wait a second, I'm facing backward! Seriously, its realy become [The Captured alien!], I am gathering a lot of attention here!!
As I pulled out, Earl Bozes whispered to me and say."That is the oldest son's bad habit, although he already has a fiancée, he is quite good at handling a lot of girls too, do not approach him, do not speak to him, also do not make him your oppenent…"
Oh, so that is why you do that?But, please let me say something to you Earl-sama.…..My ear! it's ticklish!
"Next is, we will greet the Earl Pasteur house/family. They are the organizer of the party from the other day that Mitsuha missed. While you are too focused on your goods stock, you just missed their second daughter debut, so you must behave friendly in order to solve everyone misunderstanding of you, I am particularly concerned about that second daughter who expected you to debuted her party.""o-okay…."Aw man~, I did a bad thing to the second daughter-san. Well then, I must do something…
This time, I pull my arms to let go off from their grip.You two didn't realize it huh? Of course they didn't, you just forcibly drag me here pridefully.(TN: I changed the line here, forgive me if i am wrong)
"Pleased to meet you, My name is Viscount Mitsuha Von Yamano, please treat me well."Greeting cleanly and courtesy.\n"My apologies for the other day. I do not know if there is a report for staying in the capital, and it seems the invitation letter was not delivered because they think I was "absent" at that time…."
Since the party of the other day, Earl Pasteur thought something was not right and it seems a lot of bad rumor surrounding them, and finally, the misunderstanding has cleared, his eyes opened widely.
I mean, seriously, I am sorry.
The Wive and her children next to them also surprised.Ah, the second daughter's face is….Oh no, it looks like she is going to cry!
Coming of age party debut, also the social debut by invite [The Thunder Princess Shrine Maiden], she(2nd dghtr) would be pleased that she can be closer to her(mitsuha), and now she(2nd dghtr) disappointed when being told that "I haven't arrived at the Royal Capital at that time", if someone keep trying and trying and trying her best, then you are told that actually I am already in the Royal Capital, who wouldn't cry because of that?….What to do, shall I apol- No that's not it, I must do something….
"A-ah, right, t-this, p-please take it, I apologize that I could not go to your debut party, a-and a friendship gift…"
I handed out the ring that I had from my finger, yup, like my dress too, sometimes ago, a bribe from a German agent, I received it as the contribution. I don't know how many carats in there, but I think this ring has a reasonable value as a diamond ring.
I am not in trouble with money right now, so as long I can get through of this place well, this is fine. Its just a gift anyway.Even in this world, large diamonds and the high quality diamonds are present as it is. However, the value of the diamond in this ring compared to the one in this world is not big, it's a technique of cutting and polishing.
The value of a diamond is determined by a combination of cutting technique, color, carat(weight), and the purity And also the difference in technical power.
The light that enters the diamond becomes a more radiant diamond by the excellent refractive index of diamond and the ideal proportion determined from its refractive index (ideal proportion). This cutting technology is different in level from this world and the earth. Therefore, even if the original is the same rough stone, it becomes a difference of comparison which can not be compared.In other words, this ring is a thing beyond the common sense of this world in its cut technology.
In Western Europe of the Earth, even for diamonds of an engagement ring price, depending on the cut it will be a considerable value in this world.It's a bit tiring if I go to western Europe, so I make a comparison in Japan there are many cases of selling high ranked items at a high price with a ranking 1-2 grade in Japan. Because the appraiser who made the expert opinion may be a subsidiary of the jewelry shop. Even if it sells at 80 to 90% of the amount bought overseas then in Zara that selling price is less than 20% in Japan.
\nthat would be bad if I don't know her name after all…..
