195. The birth of a new faction, [Micheline faction]!
“F-fa-fa-faction?” (Mitchan)
Of course, her father is the head of a faction, so she knows what a faction is.
…I mean, when the first time we met, she said [If I get to know too many girls of her age, a strange faction is going to be formed…], so there’s no way she doesn’t know.
And to Mitchan who seems to hate being involved in such a thing and went as far as to avoid such a thing from being formed, I dropped a bomb, by saying [Would you like to lead a faction?]. I guess it’s natural that she’s surprised.
“Ah, you don’t have to worry. It’s not just about a game of [Make Believe] between a close group of children. I’m talking about a real [Faction] that involves power relations and interests” (Mitsuha)
Just when I try to reassure and explained so…
“Just in which part that you say I don’t have to worry!!!” (Mitchan)
She scolded me.
And the madam is solidified and became a statue of Buddha…
“Can you please explain properly from the beginning!?” (Mitchan)
Mitchan shouts with a red mark on her cheeks…
…cute.
“Well, I’m asking Mitchan to lead a faction…” (Mitsuha)
“It is exactly the same words that you said earlier, is it not!?” (Mitchan)
Yeah, I mean, what I said is exactly what I meant though…
“Actually, I’m tired of dealing with adults… So I wondered if I could do it leisurely while having fun with those whose age is close with me…” (Mitsuha)
“The you should just create a faction yourself! With your influence, you can easily make a small faction if you use the foreign trade with your home country as a bait!” (Mitchan)
Yeah, that might be true but…
“But wouldn’t it be bad if someone from another country creates a faction in this country?” (Mitsuha)
“U~, we-well, indeed it is…” (Mitchan)
Mitchan seemed to agree with my explanation.
“Besides…” (Mitsuha)
“Besides?” (Mitchan)
“Creating a faction by myself is a hassle, isn’t it? Wouldn’t it be easier to push it to someone and only take the delicious parts once it arises?” (Mitsuha)
“Did you just… you just said it frankly!!!” (Mitchan)
Yup, I’m an upfront girl after all.
“That’s why, what I want to make is a gathering of only the daughters of senior aristocrats and large merchants, right, it’s the so-called [society], and Mitchan is the one who going to put it together. The bait is the rare sweets that I offer. Participating in the [Society]’s tea party is a great way to get along and exchange information while eating rare exotic sweets. And exclusively for the members, you get the right to purchase out innovatively designed accessories and the likes at a discounted price. Furthermore, you also get the privilege to purchase hair wash medicine, body wash medicine, perfumes, spirits and various other souvenirs for your family… of course, resale is forbidden. What can be purchased is only a small amount just for the family to use. And if you’ve made a big contribution to [Society], I can offer you a dress made with our country’s technology and a lot more…” (Mitsuha)
“Wha!! That way, there will be a flood of applicants, it is going to be a chaos!! It will be flooded by the daughter of Nobles and Merchants from all over the country!! It will be out of control!!” (Mitchan)
Yeah, well, maybe it’ll become like that.
There’s no problem if the daughters themselves wanted to join by their own will, but there would also be those who are instructed by the parents who have learned about the existence of [Society], and they will have no right to refuse, maybe.
But…
“The members will be carefully selected, and we will go with a few elites. [Society] is a wonderful gathering of only the chosen ones, the true elites, the ones who will help me and the ones who want to make money!” (Mitsuha)
“Why do you easily leak your real intentions like that! You should think more about your [Face] or [cover up]!!!” (Mitchan)
Mitchan, you will hurt your throat if you keep shouting like that, you know?
“And whose fault is it!!!?” (Mitchan)
Ah, did my voice came out?
“…Micheline, you should accept it” (Mitchan’s mom)
“Eh…” (Mitchan)
Form the side, Mitchan’s mother speaks with a very good smile.
Yeah, of course.
No matter how strong the male chauvinism in this world is, there’s no parent who doesn’t love their daughter. …especially, when it comes to the daughter who have access to buy expensive liquors, shampoos, soaps, perfumes, etc. of the foreign country.…
And sooner or later, the daughter of the senior nobles will become brides. They will be married off to the heir of the nobles or grand merchants of this country or abroad. And a small number of them will be the bride to the royal family…
Regardless of which faction the head of the family belongs, [Society] is a lily garden of elite girls who tied together in strong unity. Imagine, how much influence will its leader have on this country and the neighboring countries now, and 10 or 20 years later…
There’s no way for the wide of a senior noble would miss such a chance. That’s why Mitchan’s mother said so…
“Aah, a lily garden only for girls, [Society]! Mitsuha-san, why didn’t you appear 25 years earlier!” (Mitchan’s mom)
…don’t ask me…
Anyway, just like that, the [Society] plan has been triggered …regardless of Mitchan’s will.
Yeah, a noble’s daughter cannot go against her parents’ intentions. If it becomes important matter concerning the future of the house…
Well, good luck, Mitchan! Don’t look at me with the eyes of a dead fish like that…
“Then I’ll leave the rest to you! The selection of the members and the activity policy, I leave them all for Mitchan to decide. A few days before the meeting, no, the tea party, if you let me know the location, the number of people, and the number of the goods you want, I will deliver the goods and the sweets. I will hand you the good tea leaves in advance, so let the maid practice how to brew it right. Oh, and please take this. Well then, adios!” (Mitsuha)
I took the almond chocolates and coffee peanuts out of my bag and slammed them onto the table, and dash away!!
“Eh, what is this… tte, Wait! Don’t run away! Someone, catch her!” (Mitchan)
No no, it doesn’t matter even if it’s an instruction from their employer’s daughter, there’s no way a mere servant of this degree would dare to oppose a noble from other country! So I escaped safely. The rest will be persuaded by your mother.
In that state, Mitchan’s mother seems to be pushing her delusion with her best in [Society]…
Mitchan, may the luck be with you…
However, I couldn’t introduce Colette-chan to Mitchan this time too…
Well, I have things to do this time, I can’t be helped.
“…so, you lured me into your trap then ran away, and the next day you come again…” (Mitchan)
“Well, umm, there’s something I forgot…” (Mitsuha)
[Ehehe], like that I tried to gloss it over by the Japanese specialty, the [Vague laughter].
“…haaah, well it’s fine already… With my mother in that state, and my father who heard the story was so excited and clung to me, I can’t do anything anymore at this point…” (Mitchan)
Alright, Mitchan fell into the trap!
Just as planned…
“Then, for now, turn here and smile!” (Mitsuha)
“Wh-what is that suspicious thing in your hands…” (Mitchan)
“Don’t mind it! Here, look at my face, smile, and…” (Mitsuha)
Snap!
“Another one!” (Mitsuha)
Snap! Snap!
Alright, I guess this is enough for today!
