AN: Hope you guys enjoy the update~!!! Wish you all a great day and week ahead of all of you~!!!







A few weeks have passed since I visited Noir's (and sure, Luke's) house.

My days continued as usual. Three days of self-defense and combat training, three days of magic training, and a day of rest, which would usually turn into Alexus's visit day or a day out with my family.

It may look packed, but my training and magic lessons with Roland-sama and Lawliela-sama were only three hours, four at most, in the morning, and I have the rest of the day to myself. I'd usually just read novels, make some desserts, play with Kiara, have tea with mom, or chat with Lu-nii, so I am pretty free.

Recently, however, I've been exchanging letters Illya and Evelyn as well~! Ah~ I'm so happy~! The only ones I'd exchange letters with were usually only Alexus and Lily, so I feel so excited when I first received their letters!

Illya's situation in her home was getting better and better since the time we first met. She found the courage to face his sisters and have been working hard to improve herself. Not only did she worked extra hard in her academic and etiquette lessons, she has also been learning self-defense and swordsmanship after hearing that Alterisa has been doing the same thing.

Because of this, her father has been paying a lot more attention to her, making it difficult for her sisters to do anything to harm her. Moreover, since she's stronger than her frail sisters who could do nothing but sit down and drink tea all day long, they could no longer physically bully.

Umu. What a strong and beautiful flower she had grown into. I'm so proud of her! Tha'ts what I wrote in response to her letter. But in reality, I was shrieking so loud that it worried Anne.

Kyaaaaaa~!!!! So cool!!!! A wildflower is here!!!!! Uoooohhh!!!!!!

Yeah... That wasn't my best moment, but who could blame me?! I'm so proud of her! I know it wasn't easy for a shy and soft girl like her to stand up to her sisters, but she did it anyway! Illya, what an inspiration...

In the midst of my excitement, I invited her to come to my home for tea whenever she's free. I don't know her schedule so I wouldn't want to bother her when she's trying her best. She might have lessons up till noon for all I know. That's why I let her choose the time. As long as it's after lunch, I'll definitely welcome her with open arms.

Coming here and spending time in my house, away from her sister, might also help her rest her tired mind.

Fortunately, she responded favorably, maybe a little bit too much with how many times she said she'll look forward to it.

Ufufufu~ What a cute child~

Evelyn had also been doing great with her studies and lessons. It seemed that after me, she had achieved the highest score in her academic and etiquette lessons in our generation.

Though I never doubted it, I was still so excited and proud of her when she told me!

She's steadily growing up into a fine "Ufufufu" and "Ara-ara" lady as we speak. Even her letters exude an "Ara-ara" onee-san vibe. I want her to stroke my hair, bury my face in her massive marshmallows, and say "Ara-ara~ Ufufufu~ How cute~"

Aaaahh~ That's heaven~ Just imagining it made my heart flutter~

A week ago, I received an invitation from this future "Ara-ara" onee-san for a tea party in her home this week. Well, technically it was an invitation for mom from Evelyn's mother, but Evelyn have told me about it long before.

Seems like Evelyn's mother and mom were close friends in the academy. They've rarely seen each other after they graduated, and mom also couldn't go to any of the tea parties she held due to her weak physique, so it has truly been a while since they've met. But now, after she found out mom's healthy again, she immediately prepared a tea party for their reunion.

Mm~ What a beautiful friendship. I hope I can also be like that with Evelyn in the future~

Oh, I wonder what Evelyn's mother looked like? Knowing Evelyn's appearance when she's grown up, I could imagine Evelyn's mother being the epitome of MIL- I mean, a gentle mother.

Today was the weekend for the tea party in Evelyn's home.

"There we go~!!!! We're finally finished! It's okay to open your eyes now, Alterisa-sama~!!!"

Anne's excited voice along with excited murmurs and shrieks resounded from around me.

Yes, I've been closing my eyes all this time. Anne and the others have been doing my hair and make-up and told me to close my eyes so they could "surprise" me. That's why I've been monologing this long. I was really bored.

I slowly open my eyes. It was very blurry since I've been closing it for so long. Honestly, it's been like more than half an hour.

Slowly, my eyes readjusted to the light, and the moment I saw myself in the mirror, my jaw dropped.

"How is it, Alterisa-sama~? We've done our very best, you know~? Ah, but don't worry~ This is just the beginning. We'll hone our skills even more for your engagement party and your marriage in the future!!"

"Y-Y-You..."

"Yes?"

"Y-You've overdone it!!"

"Eh?"

Seriously!!! Why do I look like a bride?!

My light blue dress was very, and I mean, very beautiful, but since all my dresses were picked out by mom and the maids with the highest fashion sense, it couldn't be helped.

But why are my hair and make-up done as if I'll be meeting the royal family?!

Yes, the makeup was thin, with only a light blue eyeshadow on my eyelid, a bit of powder, and blush on my cheeks. But... But my hair...

My platinum-white long hair was done in waterfall braids style with white lily flower hair accessories as decoration.

"What do you mean, Alterisa-sama? We did not put on much makeup as you've requested."

"T-That's true but... M-My hair! It's too much!"

"What are you saying, Alterisa-sama! This is the least we could do to accentuate your beautiful platinum-white hair! Am I right, everyone?"

""Yes!""

"Y-You guys..."

Hah... There's no helping it. I can't very well undo them since they seemed so proud of it, so I guess I'll just have to live with it. I would've been okay with just having it down though.

"Hah... Thank you. It looks very beautiful."

"If you understand, then please do not sigh."

"Y-Yes..."

In the end, I can't win against this big sis of mine.

Well, I guess this should be more suitable for a tea party held by a duchess just like mother. While I think having my hair down would be just fine, I'm sure Anne and the others know what they're doing. They're this household's prided servants, after all.

Anne and the others did some final checking when I stand up, then we all head down to the living room.

"Ara~ Risa-chan, you look so beautiful~!!!"

Mom smiled widely. She was already perfectly dressed in a beautiful light blue dress that hugged her buxom figure so perfectly.

Kukuku~ Seeing this again, I'm becoming even more excited for my prospects! I'll definitely have a pair of amazing BOING BOING and sexy figure in the future!!

"Mommy~ You look beautiful as well~"

I ran up to her and hugged her. I'm still short so I could only hug her waist, but because of that, I could feel this heavenly sensation on my head.

Ufufufu~ This must be what heaven smells and feels like.

"Ara ara~ Even though you look so beautiful, you're still mommy's cute little daughter, aren't you~"

"Uhn~! I'll always be mommy's little daughter!!!"

"Hehehe~ I'm so happy~ Then, let's go Risa-chan. We don't want to be late, right?"

"Yes!"

We head to Evelyn's house, a.k.a the Silium household's mansion, in our carriage. Since it was a tea party exclusive for noble ladies, Lu-nii didn't accompany outside for once. So, today will be an exclusive mom and daughter ladies' day out~

Ufufufu~ I'm so excited! I'll get to meet Evelyn again~

Mom seemed to also be looking forward to this tea party a lot as well. As Evelyn said in her letters, mom and Evelyn's mom are close when they're in the academy. Though I don't really know how close they are... Should I ask?

"Mom."

"Mm~? What's wrong, dear?"

"Evelyn said in her letters that you're close with her mother."

"Yes, I am. Me and her, along with Seara and Lawliela, are best friends during our time in the academy~!"

"Wow~"

Wow, that's a powerful group of women! They're all the core of the high society lady's circle in the kingdom! Any noble lady would do anything to join their group!

"Hehe~ It has been a while since we last saw each other. Because I was weak, I couldn't accept any of her tea party invitations."

Mom said in a melancholic tone, her eyes wandering out the carriage window. But then, she turned back to me.

"But thanks to Risa-chan, I became healthy again~ It's all thanks to Risa-chan that I can meet all my best friends again~! So thank you~!"

Mom hugged me and buried my face into her twin heavenly pillows.

"Hehehe~ I'm happy that mom's healthy now~ We can go out more often together~!"

"Yes~ Let's go out and have fun with just the two of us, okay~ Kiara can also join us when she gets a bit older~"

"Nn!!!"

I talked with mom plenty about her days in the academy. I'm very interested in them since it was something that has never been deeply dived into in the game.

But just as we were about to reach the interesting part, i.e the part where mom and dad's love began to blossom, we arrived at the Silium household's mansion.

We entered past the gates after the guards verified our identity then made our way to the main entrance.

Honestly, I should've expected this, but Evelyn's house enormous as expected. Just like our house, the road leading to the main mansion is long and surrounded by beautiful greenery and gardens. Then, in front of the mansion's main entrance, there was an enormous fountain in the middle with flowers surrounding it.

"Mom, is it just me or is the aesthetic here similar to our home?"

"Ufufufu~ You noticed? Arya and I have a similar sense of aesthetics~ That's why our homes are similar."

Hee~ Evelyn's mother, Arya and my mom sure are best friends... Even their tastes are similar.

Soon, our carriage slowed down and came to a stop once we arrived right in front of the main entrance.
