Chapter 2314: After the Birthday Party

This chapter is updated by Novels.pl

It was already an overwhelming amount of information, but when Eris said that it still wasnt over, an indescribable expression showed in the Hamilton couples faces.

[That said, I started with what I felt were the most impactful matters, so regarding the rest, theres little that would require any action from us.]

It was true that some events from the birthday party remained, but the matters that would require the Hamilton household to respond had already been covered. What remained were mostly things that would affect Eris personally to some degree.

[First, during a quiz competition held at the birthday party, I was fortunate enough to tie for third place, and I received a trophy created by Phantasmal King-sama.]

[I see Thats certainly not a problem. If you display the trophy in your room or in the mansions hallway, it might help improve Eris reputation when guests visit. But its not something with major consequences]

[Aside from Her Majesty, Archlesia Emperor Chris-sama, there were few nobles among the party guests, so unless someone goes around bragging, its unlikely to stir up any strange rumors.]

Hearing Eris explanation, the Hamilton couple nodded in agreement.

There was little issue with Eris winning a trophy in a quiz competition. While it was necessary to report and share the information so they could respond if any nobles who had heard about it brought it up, beyond that, there was virtually no problem.

Eris had always been known for her intelligence and broad knowledge, so her achieving results in such a field wasnt unnatural. Therefore, there was no need for the marquisdom to take any particular action.

[Next, a God named Electrone-sama, a World Creator different from the one the Hero Actors came from, attended the party, to which I exchanged brief greetings and conversation with. However, this wasnt just with me, Electrone-sama seemed to address all the party attendees, so I dont believe it will have any special impact.]

[A God from another world Its astounding that Miyama Kaito-samas connections even extend beyond this world, but yes, it doesnt seem like it will affect us at this stage And what sort of person was this Electrone-sama?]

[My impression was of a supremely gentle and broad-minded, magnificent being. At the very least, I dont believe she would issue warnings to those who displease her, unlike that esteemed one Though its unclear whether shell ever return to this world again.]

For nobles, the concept of Gods from other worlds often brought to mind Eden, which invoked a certain fear, but based on Eris account, Electrone did not behave like Eden, which came as a small relief.

[Next, I was invited to Kaito-samas house.]

[That shouldnt be a problem either. It still falls within the scope of your personal interaction with Miyama Kaito-sama. In fact, its a good thing that youre able to build a friendly bond. That said, depending on what happens during the visit to Miyama Kaitos home we may need to have another discussion afterward]

[If at all possible, I really do hope you just return with nothing but stronger friendship]

[If I can help it, I hope for that outcome as well.]

There was nothing wrong with Eris visiting Kaitos house They were friends, and visiting each others homes was natural. However, all three of them shared the same concern that Eris might come back with yet another source of stomachache. It was an anxiety none of them could completely shake off.

Still, it wasnt as though there was anything they could do about it, so they could only keep their almost certainly futile wish that she return without issue close to their hearts.

[Next, I had a chance to speak with Symphonia Kingdoms Duchess Lilia, and I believe we built a reasonably good relationship. That said, our conversation mainly revolved around Kaito-sama and wasnt about forming any sort of business relationship between households.]

[Duchess Albert now holds enough influence to be considered the foremost noble in the Symphonia Kingdom. Even for our Hamilton household, it would be good to foster a positive relationship with her in the future but thats more of a long-term perspective. If your relationship with the Duchess leads to something between the households later, thats fine, but dont approach her with that intention in mind. Hidden motives like that tend to be seen through.]

[Yes. Ill be very careful on that point.]

As for meeting Lilia, it was true that they had gotten along well But that was largely due to their shared understanding of the pain that is stomachache. Given that it was unclear whether Lilia herself sought to strengthen ties with the Hamilton household, it would not be wise for Eris to make any moves on her own.

[That concludes the main points. As for the minor details, Ill compile them into a written report. Also, there was a commemorative gift given to all party attendees, and among those was this wine]

[Ah, the phantom wine that was said to have only been distributed to guests at Miyama Kaito-samas new house celebration This is quite something. I have a friend, a Count, whos a wine enthusiast. Thanks to Her Majesty Chriss kindness, he managed to taste a single glass, and he supposedly said that if he could get a whole bottle of this wine, he wouldnt mind giving up his entire wine collection, which hes spent years building.]

[That much huh In that case, maybe itd be best if I entrusted the wine to you, Father.]

[Indeed. If we manage the rumors cleverly, we might be able to divert some of the attention currently focused on you onto me, the one who possesses the wine Well, lets talk through all of this, including how well respond moving forward Im sure youre tired, Eris, but bear with us.]

[Yes.]

In any case, Kaitos influence was simply too immense. If they let their guard down, they were sure to find themselves once again suffering from unforeseen developments and stomachaches, so the three of them earnestly discussed how to proceed from here on.

That said, if Lilia had been present at that moment she likely would have offered a painfully accurate piece of advice drawn from firsthand experience: Kaito-san is the kind of person who breaks through any plan by going in a completely unexpected direction.

Serious-senpai : [The struggles of the Stomachache Warriors continue huh Looks like thats the end of the Eris-related matters for now. So, whos next?]
