1st Person POV (Ekaterina)
I’m sorry, Prince. I’m sorry I couldn’t be of any help to you, though I’m sure you thought Flora-chan would follow you if you invited me.
I need to quickly learn, adapt and assume the role of a mistress from Graham, and I also have a glass pen to develop in the future.
“Thank you for your concern. However, I need to learn how to oversee the house for a while.”  (Ekaterina)
“All right, you are the Duchess’ deputy until Alexei gets married after all. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.”  (Mikhael)
“That’s very kind of you to say.”  (Ekaterina)
Thank you, Prince. You’re a really nice guy.
That’s why I shouldn’t feel threatened by the doomsday flag.
3rd person POV
The day ended like that, and Ekaterina, who had business to attend to at the Duke’s residence the next day, saw everyone off in their respective family carriages as they headed back to their dormitories.
She handed each of the girls a dress in a box large enough to hold the dress and covered the box with ribbons, and asked them to take it home. They all hugged the boxes happily and thanked her.
But there were three people who didn’t made it.
The ‘Yes’ Trio, of course.
All the other girls chose only one dress. They looked this way and that, and then grabbed about five dresses and didn’t let go. Fifteen dresses for the three of them combined.
There was no way they could fit fifteen large boxes in the carriage, which was packed to the limit.
“Ekaterina-sama said that she would give us this dress. It is your duty to find a way to bring it back for us!”  (Yes Trio 1)
The girls were packed in with the duke’s servants. It was so absurd that Ekaterina couldn’t help but to laugh.
This is just like my Osaka auntie in my previous life. That’s what happens when the bad side of an Osaka auntie comes out. No, in that case, one person would make a boke and one person would make a tsukomi to get a laugh, and then it would all go away.
Ekaterina was on her way to the three of them, but she stopped. Graham, the butler, gave her a wink.
Graham walked over to The ‘Yes’ Trio and bowed to them condescendingly. A perfectly angled bow, as if perfectly measured with a ruler.
“How may I help you, ladies?”  (Graham)
“This maid is defying Ekaterina-sama’s orders! She doesn’t want to follow the instructions!”  (Yes Trio 1)
Haah?
“We’ve been given so many dresses specially for us. Shouldn’t you guys give us some special attention? It’s only natural for you to provide us with another carriage.”  (Yes Trio 1)
“Yes, that’s right.”  (Graham)

A certain fighter, you’re up.
[What are you even talking about?]
Graham smiled slightly. An elegant, but somewhat opaque smile, like a butler’s.
“Ladies, as members of the Duke of Yurinova’s family, we are doing our utmost to comply with our master’s wishes.”  (Graham)
“Oh, yes! Then you know what you have to do.”  (Yes Trio 1)
“Lady Ekaterina would like to make sure that our guests have an uneventful journey home. In order not to cause any inconvenience to the ladies riding along with you, I will send this dress to the dormitory of the Magic Academy tomorrow. Please do not worry and leave.”  (Graham)
“Hey! That’s not what I meant!”  (Yes Trio 1)
One of the members of The ‘Yes’ Trio shouted. But Graham didn’t even waver in his sardonic smile.
“Excuse me, but is the young lady in question Countess Sofia Cymer?”  (Graham)
“Yes!”  (Yes Trio 1)
She lifted her chin, was her name Sofia? I’m surprised it’s so close to ‘Yes’. How did you know that, Graham?
Later, I found out that all three members of The ‘Yes’ Trio were named Sofia. It’s amazing.
But for me, you lot will always be The ‘Yes’ Trio, yes, and I’ll call Miss Cymer ‘Yes’ Number 1.
