Chapter 112
Translator: Cyrus
Michelie and I made up .
Well, I was the one avoiding Michelie in the first place . It’s not like we were really quarrelling .
But the fact remains that I could have spent that amount of time with Michelie, but wasted it because of my foolishness .
That’s why I’ve decided to host a reconciliation party for me and Michelie .
“Are you stupid or an idiot?”
My guest Surfania said something, but it doesn’t hurt, or even itch . This is the happiest moment for me in the past few years . Having set up a happiness barrier with my sister as the ingredient, I won’t be affected by any insult .
I called it a party, but strictly speaking, it’s more like a tea party . But I felt like calling it a party anyway . In other words, it’s party time to me . I wanna go all out!
The venue of the party is my room . The only ones I’ve invited are my close friends and acquaintances .
Surfania and Leon are the ones I’ve had a long acquaintance with . I’ve invited my sidekicks, Rona and Catalina as well . I wanted to invite Mariwa too, but I couldn’t help it . Even if I had invited her, I’m sure she definitely wouldn’t come .
It’s really small for a party . But that’s fine .
It’s the first step in showing that Michelie and I have established our bond as the Best Sisters . I no longer have to hide the fact that I absolutely love my most adorable Michelie . The first ones I’m telling are Rona and Catalina, and from there, it’ll be the entire Academy . Rona and Catalina’s loose tongues will surely help spread the news .
The ability to gather such talented people around me is definitely one of my strengths .
“……Argh . Michelie took the position of younger sister in the end . ”
By the way, what is Freesia doing here?
The maid prepared some tea snacks, and is eating them in my room with a sulky face . For some reason, the girl with golden rolls for her hair is here too . She’s already a strange creature, but her presence adds a layer of mystery .
I never invited her here .
Perhaps sensing my confusion, Michelie chimes in .
“Oh, sorry, big sister . I’m the one who invited Freesia . She’s an old friend of mine . ”
“I see . That’s fine then . ”
Of course, the Prince isn’t here . I don’t want to bow down to him, and I have nothing to apologize for anyway . It’s alright . I’m the genius Christina Noir . Now that I have no reason to help him through his romance, he’s just an insect trying to crawl his way to my sister .
“But it looks like everyone’s here . They’re all here because they love you, right?”
“That’s right . It’s something to be grateful for . ”
Since enrolling into the Academy, I’ve been behaving as I please, and tried to destroy myself . Even then, there are people who are still willing to stand by me . I’m cherishing this moment in a different perspective .
But there’s someone whom I’ve invited but isn’t here .
That person is Charles .
“……So you couldn’t contact Charles at all?”
“Yeah . I haven’t been in contact with him since we parted ways because of our differences . ”
Michelie answers with her eyes cast downward .
“I see……”
I sent him an invitation, and even asked Michelie to tell him just in case, but never got a response .
Charles is the only person I can’t predict . He affirmed his love back in the courtyard in the Academy, and yet he hasn’t taken any steps to approach me yet . I wouldn’t mind if he came in acting all conceited right now .
Also, what does she mean, they parted ways because of their differences? I know they worked together for a while in order to mend the fence with me, but I don’t really know why their cooperation fell apart .
“Well, let’s forget about Charles for now . Here, big sister . Open wide . ”
“Ahh-”
As if seeing my face becoming gloomy, she picked the best timing and gives me a slice of the party cake .
It’s been a while since I’ve eaten deliciously enchanted food . I sense Rona and Catalina staring at me somehow, but I eat it slowly without giving them much heed .
“Ehehe . Is it tasty, big sister?”
“Yeah, it’s tasty! Here, you too, Michelie–”
“Lady Chris! Let me have some of your blessing too!”
“Here you go-”
“Here I come!”
Freesia ruins the mood by impertinently cutting in on our sisterly exchange . I throw a wrapped bone in her direction, and she chases after it happily as I expected .
What is she, a dog?
“Freesia is a fun girl . ”
“Yeah, she really is . ”
“……She’s cute, right?”
“Not really . ”
“Really?!”
I look around me while discussing Freesia with Michelie .
Part of this reconciliation party is also an opportunity for my acquaintances to get to know one another . Surfania and Leon in particular have never interacted with my sidekicks . I’m sure there were strange rumors and misunderstandings, so I created this opportunity for them .
But it seems like Surfania isn’t talking to anyone besides me . I broke the ice by asking her how she’s doing, and with the help of Leon and the talkative Catalina, we managed to strike a good conversation .
“Now then, I’m sorry to cut the conversation even though it’s getting deep, but I wish to go into the main event . ”
Everyone was warming up to one another, but they gather their attention on me .
“The reason I have gathered everyone here is-”
“To show off your sister!”
“That’s right . My sister is the best!”
Surfania tried to pour cold water on my speech, but she’s not wrong . I do want to proudly show off Michelie . I will no longer hesitate to announce that my sister is the best in the world .
And so I raise my voice .
“And that’s the sister I want to save . ”
I’m announcing my intentions to all the people I know here, to my friends and acquaintances .
“You see, my sister was born somewhat special . Because of that, the despicable, cowardly, cold-blooded father of mine, Duke Noir, is about to send her somewhere far away . I want to do something about it, but I can’t do it alone . That’s why I need your strength and wits . ”
I emphasized my fair evaluation of my father .
My father may seem to be doing moderately well in society, but he’s a cold-blooded man for neglecting his daughter . I want to work together with everyone in order to overthrow the evil member of nobility that is my father .
“The issue is complicated, and in order to truly save Michelie, we will have to overcome many obstacles . We will need to put our mind and body into solving this complex problem . You will be rewarded . I will give you everything I have . So I would be glad to have your assistance . ”
I look sideways at Michelie, then lower my head .
I have the power and position to order people around . I am of the highest status in nobility in this room after all .
But I thought it was natural to lower my head as a friend asking for help .
“I, too, ask it of you . Not for my own sake, but for my sister’s . ”
Michelie lowers her head as well .
Surfania is the first to speak .
“……Leaving the reasons aside, this is a serious request coming from Chris . All right, I shall play along . ”
“We’re all students of Miss Mariwa . I’ll help too . ”
“I’ll stand by your side too, but…… Catalina, what’s with that creepy smile? Are you plotting something wicked?”
“Hehehehe– heh? No way, Lady Rona . I was just thinking how nice it is for you to follow Lady Chris of your own accord . ”
“I don’t really know the situation, but I shall do as Lady Chris commands!”
She’s the only one who doesn’t know what’s going on . Leaving that aside, Michelie and I look at each other with a smile as everyone agrees to join our cause .
They truly are good friends . I’m really grateful .
Just as I’m about to thank them formally, the door opens .
We turn around to see who it was . Michelie’s face freezes, and I’m standing here dumbfounded .
“I’ll help too, Chris . ”
It was Charles who opened the door .
