Chapter 28.2

CHAPTER 28-01: TEA PARTY SEQUEL

A lot more people knew that I was summoned here by theSaint Summoning Ceremonythan I thought.

Of course, I didnt spread it around.

If I tell people that I was summoned here by a ceremony, wouldnt it be the same as telling them that I was theSaint?

Thats why I definitely dont go around saying it.

That most likely mean the people who do know found out from the people at the Royal Palace.

The Director and the Captain werent the only ones who knew about this, the knights and mages probably knew too, right?

The maids probably also know about it.

The researchers werent told so half of them suspected something and the other half didnt know anything.

I could guess this from the researchers reactions.

There was a difference in their reactions probably because the Royal Palace distinguished between those who are trustworthy and those who are not.

The knights and mages are on the nations defence force so I think they have to know.

The maids were all people who were gathered to look after theSaintso Im sure they know.

I didnt think that Liz would be also be included in the list of people who knew about it.

Thats why I was surprised that she knew.

So you knew?

Yes.

Since when?

From the beginning.

From the beginning So you knew from the time we met at the library?

Yes. But, it was a coincidence that we met there.

According to Lizs explanation, it was really a coincidence that we met at the

library.

However, she said that she knew that the Saint Summoning Ceremonyhad been performed and she guessed from my hair colour and eyes that I was probably a summoned person.

It was an unusual colour to have in this kingdom.

She also said that she was convinced when she started talking to me in the library.

She concluded this from the fact that I could read various languages but I didnt understand anything about the grammar of it.

It was certainly unbelievable for someone to be able to read something without understanding the grammar behind it.

The other person is also the same.

Really?

The other person is probably Airchan.

Come to think of it, Liz also attends the Royal Academy, doesnt she?

Are they classmates?

Ive heard that she can also read Slantania and the ancient languages, but she doesnt know grammar or anything like that.

I see. Anyway, are you and Airchan classmates, Liz?

No, shes a year above me.

Oh.

Other than that, you also know about her, Sei.

Well, yeah.

I heard about Airchan from the maids and Civil Official at the beginning.

Shes the girl who was summoned with me.

Therefore Im interested in her.

I havent seen her since then. I wondered about her sometimes and I was worried about her after all.

Is she doing well?

Well She doesnt seem to be ill.

Liz looked troubled when I tilted my head at her hesitation.

Did something happen?

Yes, well

Then Liz suddenly raised her hand and the maids left.

Whats that? Amazing.

Liz was confirming that the maids were gone while I was admiring

admiring her. And then she slowly began to talk.

Do you remember the time when I told you about that troublesome classmate of mine?

Errrr ~

Which reminds me, we did talked about something like that before.

If Im not mistaken it was about a classmate who had the popular guys wait upon her.

I wonder whats wrong with that child?

Dont tell me

Dont tell me that its Airchan?

I asked and she nodded sadly.

I unintentionally averted my gaze upwards.

I told you that it was a classmate at that time but its definitely Airsan.

Is that so?

Well, whether she was a classmate or not wasnt something that Liz could explain in detail.

Ive put in a lot of effort to try to solve the problem but its not going very well.

Were we talking about how it isnt good for someone to get intimate with men who have fiances?

Thats it.

Ah ~

I accidentally looked away.

Even in Japan, it was frowned upon to cling to someone that was engaged.

It was the same for those who had lovers too.

However, it was harder for it to become a problem in Japan.

There were many actions that may not cause problems in Japan that could cause problems here.

For example, lifting up your skirt when its hot or showing your bare feet to the opposite sex.

I was also scolded by Liz.

Airchan might be the same.

If she acted the same way as she did in Japan towards her friends without knowing the standards of them country then

Huh?

But didnt Liz and the others

the others warn her multiple times?

You warned her personally, didnt you?

Other people did but I heard that they told her directly.

I see. But nothing changed?

She seems to be aware of it now?

I see

Liz asked about it so I told her what I was thinking about before.

I told her about the degree of difference in problematic actions between Japan, the country that Airchan and I were from and here.

Japan was more lenient compared to here.

Airchan might not know that.

I dont think shell get it if you just told her to think about the person that they are dating or it would be a problem for you to get along with men.

Is that so?

I also realized when you told me, Liz. Well the boys around her might have told her about it.

They didnt.

Liz said clearly even though she was laughing as if she was troubled.

It didnt show on her face but I felt that she was clad in a scary aura and chills ran down my spine.

I couldnt see it but it felt like a black aura was covering her back.

Mhm, Liz-san?

Whats wrong?

If they were that considerate then it wouldnt become the big problem it is today.

Th-thats true.

You are quite right.

Its just as she said.

Liz said in a somewhat appalled voice.How scary.

But why was she so angry?

I thought and remembered what Marie-san had told me.

Which reminds me, Lizs fianc is

Hey, dont tell me your fianc is also in that group of boys?

Yes.

The answer to my timid question my timid question was YES.

I want to think that the black aura growing behind her is just my imagination.

Liz, youre fianc isthat, right? Mm

Its Prince Kyle.

I could only laugh dryly at that predicted answer.

I see, that is her fianc, huh?

Ive heard that hes caused you extreme displeasure.

Mhm? Yeah

I could only laugh when I remember what had happened when I was summoned.

Yeah, serious, that.

Liz smiled stiffly and correct her posture.

She was looking at me really seriously.

I will apologise on His Highnesss behalf for what happened at that time.

Huh? Its not something that you should apologise for, Liz.

But

Its fine. Its not your fault.

I somehow laughed and appealed to Liz that it wasnt her fault because she still looked anxious.

I can understand apologising on behalf of your fianc but Liz didnt do anything wrong so I didnt know how to respond to her.

Lets think of a way to solve the Airchan problem?

Oh Sei

I would be stumped if we kept talking about the Prince so I forcefully changed the topic.

Liz seemed to have noticed my intention and mumbled in worried tone but she didnt push the topic.

I appreciated her subtlety.

From there, we talked about how we should improve the circumstances around Airchan.

We exchanged various ideas and before we knew it a lot of time had passed.

We had finally found a way to solve the problem. It should be fine if I leave the finer details to Liz, right?

Thus, my first tea party ended without a hitch.
