A night passed after Li caused an uproar over the fluff.

After that, she had even drawn her mother into it, thoroughly enjoying the fluff together.

Obsidian and Chrysoberyl had completely become the darlings of the mansion.

They were being called O-chan and Kuu-chan and had fully settled into the role of the ducal house’s pets.

For Li as well, having familiars at home brought a sense of security.

After the attempted poisoning of the queen, there was no such thing as being too careful.

Despite their appearance, both were strong.

Li also talked with her mother and Tori-chan of the Omniversal Archive Heaven’s Library about summoning magic.

That her mother had likewise mastered summoning magic that had been lost to history was impressive, to say the least.

It goes without saying that Tori-chan was left speechless.

Once the discussion settled down, Li and her mother enjoyed tea together in the salon.

Starting from what had happened at the academy, the conversation drifted into all sorts of topics.

They also exchanged opinions on magic tool crafting, which her mother specialized in.

For Li, it was a deeply fulfilling moment.

When the conversation reached a pause, her mother suddenly made a suggestion without any preamble.

“Li-chan, I think it would be nice to hold a tea party. Why don’t you invite your friends over?”

“A tea party?”

For Li, those were enchanting words.

After all, when one thinks of what noble daughters do, tea parties immediately come to mind.

Come to think of it, Li reflected on herself.

Since childhood, she had asked her parents for this and that and been busy with various lessons.

She had never had the time to hold a tea party.

Her mother seemed to host tea parties regularly, but Li had never attended them.

While she had enjoyed tea with family, she had no experience inviting friends over.

“That’s right. You’ve made friends at the academy, haven’t you? Then you should deepen those relationships.”

Li thought that made sense.

About two months had already passed since enrolling at the academy.

This timing might be just right.

And so, Li decided to hold a tea party.

“Mother, would you help me with it?”

“Of course,” her mother replied with a bright smile, giving a thumbs-up.

“Wafun.”

O-chan had somehow ended up right next to Li.

Even sitting flat on the ground, it was still huge.

Just petting it’s back filled her with happiness.

Li and her mother began planning the tea party together.

Who to invite was one question, but in the end, they decided to invite the girls’ group from her class.

They did not want arguments later over who had or had not been invited.

Naturally, that included the saint as well.

“Mother, the number of people has grown quite a bit. Will that be all right?”

“There’s no problem at all.”

And so it was decided that Li would host a tea party.

Her mother would handle the various arrangements on her behalf.

However, as the host, Li still needed to think about how she would entertain her guests.

Even while worrying over that, Li was enjoying herself.

In her previous life, she had hardly ever been able to participate in events like this.

It would be a lot of work, but the preparation itself was fun.

Consulting with her family and the servants, Li moved forward with the tea party preparations.

Looking forward with excitement, convinced that the day itself would surely be enjoyable.
