Chapter 1848: Ship Party Invitations ①
While enjoying window shopping and conversing with Aria-san, the topic shifted somewhat naturally to the ship party I'm currently planning and preparing for.
Aria-san must have experienced many parties as the Head Maid of Archlesia Empire's Imperial Castle, so she would be quite knowledgeable about various aspects, and it would be helpful to receive advice from her.
[I see, it seems like that's going to be quite a large-scale party.]
[Yes, it's my first time organizing a party so are there any things I should be mindful of?]
[I think it's best if you hire reliable servers. In terms of capability, those Peerage-holders under Kaito-sama's employment might suffice but for a party of considerable scale like this, even if those on your side are capable of handling everything by themselves, having only a few servants would make your side appear hectic to outsiders.]
[Ahh~~ I see, that certainly makes sense.]
In fact, Illness-san could handle it alone if she wanted to, but it might seem chaotic and make it difficult for guests to approach her if she's overly occupied.
In that case, I suppose it would be better to hire some people to deal with that
[However, considering it's going to be quite a large party, it's difficult to determine how many to hire.]
[That's true Ahhh, in that case, how about requesting assistance from the World Maid Association? They would prioritize Kaito-sama's request, and if you inform them of the party's scale, they should be able to introduce suitable personnel. If necessary, I can also hope.]
[I appreciate the offer, but I actually wanted to invite you instead Ahh, of course, under the name of Alexandra-san, that is.]
[Fufu, I see. In that case, I'm looking forward to it.]
Aria-san's advice is valuable. Indeed, the maids in this world are exceptionally skilled, and many belong to the World Maid Association, an organization of which Ein-san is the President.
If I ask directly, she'll likely introduce trustworthy personnel. What I'm concerned about is whether Ein herself would volunteer to assist as a maid, but as long as I firmly convey that I want her to come as a guest this time, it should be fine.
[And also, let's see. Regarding souvenirs and gifts, I think it's best if you specify in the invitation beforehand. There's no rule that says you have to bring such items to parties, but if many guests decide to bring them to impress Kaito-sama, it could take up a lot of time just receiving them.]
[I see, I'd personally prefer it if they bring no souvenirs]
[In that case, if you specify in the invitations that bringing souvenirs for smooth proceedings is unnecessary, you should be fine.]
[I see]
After receiving several pieces of advice from Aria-san and jotting them down in my notes, our conversation came to a pause, and Aria-san, with a somewhat solemn expression on her face, spoke.
[Even so, a party hosted by Kaito-sama It seems like it'll have impressive guests. Have you already decided on the date and other details?]
[No, I haven't completely decided on everything, but I'm planning to finalize it soon and send out invitations. I'm thinking around the end of next month for the event.]
[I see, the end of next month huh There's the regularly held Three Nations Conference around that time but well, I suppose that isn't relevant.]
[Unn?]
[I think it's best to choose a date that suits Kaito-sama's convenience the most. Personally, I'm eagerly looking forward to the party.]
After saying so with a gentle smile, Aria-san went on to provide various detailed advice and interesting tidbits about the paper to use for invitations, and we got engrossed in that topic for a while.
<Afterword>
Flag Speedrun Top Rankings
These rankings aren't based on the speed at which they fall in love, but a ranking based on their initial actions (limited to direct action towards Kaito).
1st Place: Isis Remnant
Proposed within minutes of their encounter. The overwhelming speed that leaves no room for others, possessing both impact and heroine power, securing an overwhelmingly dominant position As expected, Isis is just the strongest
2nd Place: Fate
Attempted to have herself under Kaito's support + establish fait accompli on the first day of their encounter. While she hadn't exactly fallen for Kaito at first sight, her initial actions were driven by calculation, yet the impact of her actions is outstanding.
3rd Place: Tre
Got rejected three times on the first day of their encounter. Considering her personality, it's unclear how serious she is with her confessions, but she has mentioned feeling some sort of fate between them, so although it may seem like a joke, she might actually be quite serious.
Serious-senpai : [I thought Aria was quite fast in the Speedrun Rankings, but the Top 3 are on another level]
