Let’s make preparations!
"... So, I'm thinking of preparing for the tea party."
After the lessons, our usual members gathered in the special dormitory's lounge.
We informed the Sacred Beasts that we had invited Alicia-sama to the tea party and decided to hold a strategy meeting for the preparations.
"Christea, what do you mean by preparing?”
Mashiro asked with his hand raised.
"We need to decide and prepare the tea and sweets to serve Lady A...

Making plans.
The next morning, on my way to attend the morning classes, I encountered Alicia-sama and her entourage.
"Oh... Good morning, Alicia-sama."
"... Good morning."
Alicia-sama returned my greeting, and her entourage looked at us with unbelieving expressions.
Considering Alicia-sama's previously hostile attitude towards me, I never expected her to greet me this morning, let alone return the greeting if I initiated it.
This means Alicia-sa...

"… Dill-san, are you okay?"
"… Haaaaah~"
Dill-san exhaled deeply and stood up with a tired expression on his face.
"Oh, come on!! Takumi was an A-ranker, yep. Adventurers who reach A-rank are no ordinary folks. And the companions of non-ordinary adventurers are also not to be taken lightly. That's how it is, right? Let's go with that. That's what I'll do!"

Betrayal
Supported by Henry, I doubted my eyes looking at Father.
Father, who had endured unreasonable treatment all along, would never have resorted to violence against weaker individuals than himself.
Yet...
"That hurt... What are you doing?"
"You're a foolish and dirty woman through and through."
"Huh?"
Father struck Dania.
He never allowed violence towards others.

Now, we've arrived at the 30th floor. The Boss room.

(Yeah!)
Opening the door, the scent of greenery filled the air. In the center of the room was a giant tree... no, this is...

Just self-defense? I wondered, but for now, I nodded.

The Situation at the Orphanage (2)
The children who received the clothes in the dining room each took their items back to their rooms, also carrying the added fur blankets.
They also took their fur blankets, which I had added as an extra.
Fur blankets were not expensive since they were made of leftovers and lower quality fabric.
It was less than 1,000 Rubies for the whole batch.

The Situation at the Orphanage (1)
Invited by Sibyl, we entered the orphanage.
In the dining room, there was a fierce competition going on for the clothes I had brought.
"I want to wear that red dress!"
"I want the blue one over there!"
"Everyone, don't fight! Share them fairly!"
It seems like a bit of a chaos had ensued.
I secretly used a universal dye to separate the colors, and I guess that backfired.
"Alright, everyone, calm down. No...

Since it was confirmed that there were no issues with the quality of the goods, we proceeded to deliver them to the orphanage as planned.
The lord's family did not accompany us on this occasion; they are expected to show up another time.
According to what the Marchioness quietly told me when we were leaving, it seems the Marquis was being shy.
Anyway, we loaded the clothes onto the carriage of the Trade Guild again and headed for the o...

Various hands reach out to me, attempting to administer injections.
Large, thick needles pierced me simultaneously.
It hurts, it's hot. Stop.
"Naruhito, Naruhito."
A voice called out to me, and as I slowly opened my eyes, Hiiro came into my view.
Hiiro exhaled deeply.
"Sorry for waking you up. You seemed to be having a nightmare."
I was in my own bed? Hiiro was also on the bed.
He wiped away my sweat.

"I'll leave the rest to you. Is it okay to lay him down in the usual room?"
"Yes."
Since the lights were on in the Japanese-style room, I peeked in, and Otoha was arranging food.

Ruby asked while nibbling on a carrot like a cookie.
Lately, his favorite snack seemed to be carrots twisted into decorative plum shapes, in addition to vegetable sticks.
He got excited the first time he saw the twisted plum carrots, saying, "So cute!"
"Well... even though it's called a girls-only gathering, there's no specific formal etiquette or anything like that..."

"Good evening, Cristea-san."
"Heeey, is now a good time?"

I invited them into the room, since standing in the hallway wasn't conducive to conversation.
Ruby happily hopped into the living room, completely accustomed to the special dormitory, looking like she owned the place...

Since it was a re-entry, I thought we would have to pay the fee again, but fortunately, we were exempted. I'm not sure if it was because it was a request-related matter, or if the nobles who were the clients paid for it.
“”Wow!””
“"Oh?”"
Upon entering the dungeon again, we exclaimed in amazement once more. The diamond forest had transformed into a ruby forest.
"It changes so dramatically~"

They informed me that, I needed to bring the clothes to Marquis Vardmoi’s place for inspection.
So, I started preparing for that.

About 20 outfits fit into one bag.

Clothing for Orphans
While Alizée was handling the fabric procurement, I was working on making patterns.
I had a rough idea of their body shapes, so I was creating patterns to match.
The orphanage included children from 3 to 14 years old, so the range of clothing sizes was quite broad.
I have to divide the paper patterns into several sizes to fit them.
It was not a particularly challenging task.
But even so, creating patterns for an entire set of clothes re...

As autumn deepened, and winter was just around the corner, I was preparing for hibernation in my shop.
That being said, my shop has magic heating from the first floor to the third floor, so I don't need to buy firewood or anything.

Thinking about that, I installed magic air conditioning, but it's still quite challenging.
