57 12. Tea Party and Late Night Meetings (1/2)

It should definitely be a fun tea party! Acari, who so affirmed, just didn't send out an invitation - he went to storm under the invitees.

Instant instant execution, plus instant action. It's like the speed of light...... and Tiara Rose just has to smile bitterly.

Tiara Rose, Aquasteed and Elliot left in the room. Everyone pounds and sighs.

”If you're saying that Master Akali will do it, I guess it will really be instant. I'll arrange a tea party, so please stay with Mr. Aquasteed, Mr. Tiara Rose.”

”Oh, please”

Though frightened, Aquasteed makes sure it's okay to have a tea party with Tiara Rose. He said if he was at all unwell, he should still rest.

”I'll be fine.... and I want my memory back as soon as possible.”

”Right.”

Aquasteed reaches out and gently strokes Tiara Rose's hair. I wish I could keep my eyes closed on that feeling and not have this time...... and I thought so.

◇ ◇ ◇

That afternoon, he said, ”It's a tea party!” and the acari smiled.

When it comes to the faces collected, Isira, Keith, Claire, and - Olivia. Everyone stuck too much in his heart to the clams that seemed satisfied with his throat and face.

Aquasteed stood behind Tiara Rose and now decided to watch to follow her if anything. If you are this member, there is no problem in omitting a separate first greeting.

Instead, they will also realize that they do not dare to talk because they are telling the current situation of Tiara Rose.

”What, Tiara, you don't remember?

”... I remember Keith”

”Is Aquasteed the only one you can forget?”

With a laugh, Keith takes his seat first.

The prepared tea party location is a luxurious guest room.

Coral chandeliers gently light indoors, accentuating the color of the tea poured into the teacup. Tiara Rose welcomes those who have taken her feet as she shines her eyes on the sweets that are carried one after the other.

”Welcome aboard. Please take your time.”

”Thanks for the invite, Tiara Rose”

With a tickle of laughter, Claire gives Tiara Rose the baked treat ”It's a souvenir”. And while his face shined, Tiara Rose was amazed at how Claire looked.

- I've stopped wearing women's clothes.

Pearl isn't awake, so I certainly don't need to dress up for her who doesn't like men anymore. But I felt kind of lonely about that.

Is it because it reduces glamour? Oh, my God, Tiara Rose also expresses her gratitude for the baked sweets with a smile back.

”Thank you, Master Crail. We have prepared the tea you liked”

I'm glad to hear that.

Smiling, Claire sits next to Keith.

Next, Isira comes under Tiara Rose as she looks uncomfortable. I guess it's hard to see you because you behaved rudely to Claire in Pearl's Palace.

”Dear Tiara Rose... what can I say?”

”It's okay, Master Isira. Thank you for coming to our sudden tea party while you're busy.”

”No, no. I can always help you, if you like.”

Isira is entrusted with the management of the sea because she is loved by the sea fairies. Besides, we are busy with fish and coral variety improvements.

It gives me a headache to think that the acari must have brought me here with or without it.

”Then I took the cake. Enjoy it.”

”Well, thank you”

I let the cook wave his arm, and Isira smiles.

Tiara Rose hands it to Filine, softening up whatever the hell the cake is. Don't forget to ask for your preparation so you can eat right at the tea party.

Isira sat down and Olivia showed up as the last time she was pulled by Acari. He was holding his nose with a handkerchief, but as soon as he found Tiara Rose, he corrected his posture.

”I'll see you first, Dear Tiara Rose. My name is Olivia Ariadel. It's a great honor to meet you.”

”This is Tiara Rose Lapis Marine Forest. I'm delighted to meet Olivia, too.”

Aquasteed taught me, name it now. It feels kind of ticklish and embarrassing.

- Is that it?

And then, I realize.

When I look at the clams, I smile.

When I look at Aquasteed behind me, he sighs wearily. It all turns out to be acari arbitrariness, and I laugh bitterly.

- Indeed, Master Olivia is under house arrest. Levi, the butler, should be locked up.

Yes, I recall Aquasteed explaining it to me. Maybe I just didn't bring Levi in, but I guess I gave him permission for now because Aquasteed won't say anything.

”I'm sorry for the inconvenience.”

”No, I hear Master Olivia was in trouble, too. Aren't you feeling spicy?

”Yes, thank you for taking care of me.”

Olivia smiled fluffily, saying you were sweet.

”Come on, let's start the tea party for now!

”Yes.”

Nodding at the clams that begin to divide well, Tiara Rose and Aquasteed also take their seats.

The seats surround the round table in the order of Aquasteed, Tiara Rose, Acari, Isira, Olivia, Keith and Claire.

”Dear Tiara, I'm a little out of memory... and I wish I could remember by having a tea party, so I gathered you all together.”

”I'm sorry to have taken your precious time. Thank you.”

The relaxed tea party started with Akali giving a light explanation of the current situation.

Isira's cake was cut apart and Tiara Rose's eyes glowed. I don't remember eating sweets here lately. I want to eat a lot...... what do you think, suddenly it gives me a dangerous vibe.

- Hmm?

”... this cake is not delicious”

”Oh, I'm sorry...... Dear Olivia”

Olivia, who took a bite of the cake, told him in a cold voice.

There's nowhere to look cute until now, and Tiara Rose can't keep up with her understanding of what the hell happened.

Isira, who was sitting next to her, shakes her body frighteningly and immediately utters words of apology.

- Although it's very tasty.

The cake Isira brings is always delicious and Tiara Rose beats her tongue out. Leaning his neck, wondering if it would not have suited Olivia's mouth so well, the acari sitting next to him was sparkling his eyes.

- Oh, you mean that?

Unexpectedly, I guessed. Advice, from next door, a small but powerful grunt reaches Tiara Rose's ear.

”Real Villain Warrant! Master Tiara didn't look like a villain warrant at all, so glad to be seen here!

I'm totally sorry - while I laugh bitterly in my heart, doesn't it make much sense to flatter Olivia then? Although I don't know if this is an event or if Olivia originally had these personalities.

- But Isira said Olivia didn't think much of her.

The Duke of Pearlant in Isila and the Duke of Ariadel in Olivia are, to be honest, not that close. Even if Olivia neglects Isira, the heroine entrusted with the management of the sea... well, no wonder.

As Tiara Rose wonders what to do, the Aquasteed she sees opens her mouth.

”Miss Olivia, how about that? Miss Isira is in trouble.”

”Well...... His Royal Highness Aquasteed, oh, right. Isira and I are good friends...”

Olivia glances at Isira and says, ”Excuse me,” a brief apology.

”That's about as much as Dear Tiara told me already... no, I had to harass you more!

”Dear Akali... I will not do that”

I think back to the time as I awoke at the acari talking to me in a whisper.

Heroin Acari was always with Haltnights, who was Tiara Rose's fiancée, and guided him from behind to fall Tiara Rose.

... although that was, indeed, as the game scenario suggests.
