I had imagined all sorts of things about what a noble tea party might be like, but when it actually began, it turned out they weren’t doing anything particularly special. The impression I got was that it was basically just chatting while drinking tea.
Of course, normally I suppose there would be the sort of scheming unique to nobles, smiling as they talk while secretly probing each other’s thoughts or trying to keep the other in check, but this ti, it really just felt like casual conversation.
[It’s quite a beautiful garden. The flowers are so colorful, but there are many I don’t recall seeing before.]
[The flowers in this villa’s garden are a little unusual. We use a special Barrier Magic to adjust things like air pressure, so we’re able to gather flowers that only bloom in high mountain regions.]
[Hehh~~ so does that include stuff like Sky Flowers then?]
[Ahh, no, cultivating Sky Flowers together with other plants is far too difficult. So they aren’t among these.]
Since she said the flowers were gathered from high mountain regions, I thought maybe Sky Flowers, which is the true body of Ariel-san, might be here, but apparently not…… As Eris-san answered , Kuro added a little explanation.
[Sky Flowers only bloom around the summits of mountains that exceed 5,000 ters in elevation. It also has to do with the concentration of mana. They’re not the rarest thing in existence, but they are fairly uncommon. In the Demon Realm, they often grow in the southern mountains where Magnawell lives.]
[Hehh, now that you ntion it, I do rember there being a lot of tall mountains where Magnawell-san lives.]
[Who knows, there might even be a few growing on Magnawell’s back. He ets the height requirents after all……]
Co to think of it, Magnawell-san’s body height alone is over 6,000 ters…… When I think of it that way, it really drives ho how absurd his size is.
[Kaito-sama, do you often travel to the Demon Realm?]
[I do go often since I have many acquaintances there, but I wouldn’t say I travel around everywhere. At least, I have been to all the places where the Six Kings live.]
Cornelia-san asked , and I thought a little before answering. It’s true that I often go to the Demon Realm, but not to tour sightseeing spots or travel widely. It’s usually to et with the people I know, so the places I visit are rather limited.
Honestly, the place I’ve been to the most might actually be the Land of Death.
[What about the others, ever been to the Demon Realm?]
[I was fortunate enough to be invited to the first Six Kings Festival, so I participated then, but other than that, I’ve had very few opportunities to go.]
[I’m the sa as Eris-sama, I’ve attended the Six Kings Festival once. Also, since my family’s company deals in magic tools, I’ve gone to Kuromu Lake a number of tis.]
Eris-san and Cornelia-san answered my question, but one word in their replies caught my attention.
[……Kuromu Lake?]
[It’s the na of a town near my ho.]
[Oh, so that town is called Kuromu Lake? Sounds like it was nad after Kuro.]
[Seems so. At so point, everyone just started calling it that.]
Kuro answered my question with a slightly embarrassed smile.
So the town near Kuro’s castle, where her baby birds and their families live, is called Kuromu Lake…… Co to think of it, I’ve been there many tis, but I don’t recall ever hearing its na.
You’d think I would have seen it on a signboard or sothing, but now that I think about it, I usually head straight for Kuro’s castle and don’t spend much ti in the town itself…… Maybe only when I went around with Sieg-san. I should take my ti to look around properly next ti.
[I’ve never been there myself. Even if my family were invited to so event, as the fourth daughter, I’d almost certainly never be the one to attend.]
[Fumu, I don’t know much about noble customs, so I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but when it cos to those sorts of invitations, parties and events, does that usually an the eldest son or daughter goes?]
[There isn’t a strict rule, but generally the heir would attend. Since social gatherings are also about building connections, it’s best for the successor to be present. That said, sotis soone other than the heir is brought along under the pretext of seeking a marriage arrangent. Wealthier families can afford to bring several children at once. In my family’s case, though, we’re a small-ti household with little money and too many children, so there’s simply no room for , the fourth daughter, to attend such parties. I was only brought along a few tis, just so I could gain a bit of experience in social settings.]
[I see, being a noble sounds pretty tough in its own way.]
Marie-san, who had said this tea party was her first, also seed not to have attended many parties at all. Indeed, being the fourth daughter ant she had at least three older sisters, and probably brothers too. It makes sense they couldn’t possibly bring every child to every event……
On top of that, there must be all sorts of delicate power balances among the nobility that complicate things further. It’s definitely not simple.
……Ah, but if it’s a party I’m the one hosting, then there’s no problem inviting her. Just like with the ship party before…… maybe it would be nice to host another one at so point.

Stomachache Power: ★★★★
Draw Power: ★★
Endurance: ★★★
Pitifulness: ★★★★★★
Stomach dicine Consumption: ★
Bust Desparity: ★★★★★★★★★★
The Stomachache Handler of the Divine Realm. The Flat Warrior tornted by her (big-breasted) boss and (big-breasted ×2) colleagues…… or at least she was, but the main source of her troubles, Fate, has improved her behavior thanks to Kaito’s influence, so Chronois’ opportunities for stomachaches have decreased overall.
However, if she does end up suffering, the cause is almost always Shiro, aning that when the stomachache hits, it’s a heavy blow…… Incidentally, Lilia is usually dragged into it every ti.
Stomachache Power: ★★
Draw Power: ★★
Endurance: ★★★
Pitifulness: ★★★★
Stomach dicine Consumption: ★
Rate of Causing Stomachaches: ★★★★
The Stomachache Handler of the Demon Realm. The main sources of her suffering used to be Isis or giddo, but since Isis has grown greatly on a ntal level, the one who mostly gives her headaches now is giddo.
Normally gentle and kindhearted, she tends to snap at giddo, showing just how much trouble she constantly causes her.
That said, as one of the Six Kings and a powerful authority herself, she can also be the one to cause stomachaches, making her a double-edged figure.
In the end, as long as giddo stays quiet, she rarely suffers, so her stomachache power is on the lower side…… Still, when things do involve giddo, Lilia usually gets dragged in as well.
