Chapter 1857: Ship Party Invitations ⑩
[Alright! It has arrived a chance to get to know a rich man!]
[N- No way, Greene-san When did you make such a connection]
[I- Isn't that already a betrayal Why is it only Greene-san]
[Pupu, that's a shame. While you guys were enjoying the afterparty, Anne-san and I were deepening our connection with Miyama-san!!!]
In front of her two colleagues, who looked enviously at the invitation in her hands, Greene, the leader of Team Scarlet Blue, who had previously met Kaito at the Flying Board Competition, was smiling triumphantly.
She and the other receptionists were ordinary women who longed to live like noble ladies, and of course, they had never received an invitation to a party like this before, so they were very excited.
[A ship party A- As expected, it would be held in a luxurious cruise ship, wouldn't it?]
[Uuuu, I'm envious of you, Greene-chan. If you make friends with rich people there, introduce us to them too.]
[Yes, well, for the time being, I suppose I need to make a reservation for renting a dress for the party M- Maybe I'll splurge a bit and rent something of a higher grade than usual.]
With those words, Greene's expectations for the party swelled, but she had been slightly naive about something within her perception. Well, such could be said as unavoidable. In her perception, Kaito was a seemingly rich young man she met at the Flying Board Competition. She just regarded him as someone with some sort of connection with a noble.
And so, naturally never would she have imagined that the party would be attended by the Six Kings, the Supreme Gods, and Human Realm's three rulers That it's a party filled with individuals who are usually not only difficult to talk to, but even difficult to catch a glimpse of a party that could be considered as some sort of magical realm.
At the same time, in the underground city of the large Kruel tribe in the mountainous region of Archlesia Empire, the leader of Black Muscat, Rimegithe Lenoria Githurd Armetes Anne simply known as Anne, was looking at the invitation she had received.
[An invitation from Kaito-san This is the first time I've received an invitation like this, and I'm just confused.]
[Rather, Anne-dono interacted with him before?]
[Ahh, no, I only introduced myself and talked to him briefly at the afterparty b- but what am I to do about this? Did he just send this out of courtesy? In that case, should I politely decline?]
[No, rather than that, since you've already got an invitation, unless it's inconvenient for you, shouldn't you attend? Besides, if it's a ship party, you wouldn't need to take many precautions.]
Seeing Anne lost in thoughts while looking at the invitation in her hand, the two other members of the Black Muscat Team.
[I don't think he's the kind of person who would cheat people, and the quality of the paper on that invitation is amazing, so I think it's a legitimate invitation]
[R- Rather, that's black magic parchment, isn't it? N- No, I've never seen it before so I'm not sure Could this be an invitation to a very prestigious party then? If that's the case, you might stick out like a sore thumb]
Anne is also an ordinary commoner and has never received an invitation like this. The invitation, which came in a very expensive-looking paper, made her feel a little overwhelmed.
[He was a well-dressed young man, and if I'm not mistaken, I heard otherworlders can receive a title of nobility if they desire, so I guess it's a noble party? Come to think of it, didn't Anne-dono mention that your grandfather attended a noble's party in the past?]
[It was a small party in the countryside though It says you can wear whatever you like here but I guess it's better to be dressed properly, right?]
[Ahh~~ I think my great-grandmother had some jewelry that a noble gave her in the olden days Should I ask to borrow it?]
[I suppose so. To be honest, I'm too inexperienced to handle this on my own, so if I could borrow some of your wisdom]
The Kruel species has strong inter-species connections. Their underground city, which serves as their species' habitat, despite being referred to as a city, is in fact more like a large village, and most of the inhabitants can be said to know each other. With their custom of inheriting names from parents and grandparents, many of them are related by blood if one traces back several generations.
The story of Anne receiving an invitation to a party immediately spread throughout the underground city. This sparked interest, leading to a large gathering of curious individuals, and Anne, who had somehow become the center of attention, could only smile wryly.
