Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 746 The Grand Tea Party

[Rein's POV: ]

Last night, Tia and Ast talked, and the two little fairies instantly became friends.

They talked, and talked, and talked so much the two of us got bored and fell asleep on the bench outside… it was cold out so when morning arrived and our eyes opened, I found myself with Eon's both arms wrapped around me.

'Mother Nol, his grandma, and Haze were also present right before us with warm smirks on their faces…'

They were looking at us, smiling, something that was rare, even more than the two of us passing out in some weird corner of the house, so it was a little embarrassing.

'Though, thankfully, Tia or others weren't around to see us like that.'

Ast must have taken Tia with her saying it was normal for us to sleep in this specific place, so, thankfully, it didn't become more embarrassing.

"Haaa… turn your head to a little left."

"Like this?"

"Not that much. Just a slight tilt."

"This?"

"Perfect."

I was doing Quin's hair, and she was the last one in line.

"My oh my Lady Elle~! You're amazing!"

"You look like a princess, Lizzy~!"

"You too Tia~! My god! Look at that dress~! I wish I could also wear something like that!"

"What? Nooooo~. I like your dress more~. It's simple and it's not flashy at all~! It enhances your natural yellowish hair even more~."

"Hehe, Lady August picked this one for me personally. It doesn't have many decorations or too flashy embroidery so even with just this simple design, it looks surprisingly attractive.

Though, I would have liked trying a flashy one like yours if I could. Especially that bright red color. It's gorgeous."

We were in a common changing room that was currently filled with us ladies.

Everyone was dressed nicely, their makeup was done by Aunt Aug and now they were having their hair nicely done by their Lady Elle.

And yes, they were extremely happy right now.

"Hahaha. Miss Mia~! Even your long hair looks amazing with those flowers~."

"Haaaa… I'm not used to these things but they aren't as uncomfortable as I thought they would be. It feels quite refreshing on the other hand."

Mia had longer hair than me and a few others here and since she was a dark elf with a greyish tone and ask white hair, Haze took a liking to her and after asking me to do her hair first, she decorated them with special flowers.

And thanks to her, Mia looks like a night goddess now.

She's gorgeous, I would give her that much. Perhaps that's why all the bastards here get blush right after seeing her.

'And now that she is like this, I'm looking forward to seeing their reaction after seeing her.'

And she wasn't the only one that looked more amazing than ever. All the ladies were the same.

"Miss Ezra… you look like a witch."

"A gorgeous witch."

"Hump. Empty flattery."

She didn't like how the ladies were praising her, but she certainly looked too much like a heroine right now that her villainess attitude wasn't going to stop them from praising them.

Her usual impression on us was that of an utterly lost villainess that enjoyed hurting others and doing bad things to them.

The first week in the academy, she was an utter disaster that everyone hated to the core.

The reason we were against Prince Alph becoming friends with her was also because we knew she was no good news… but then, after a while, she suddenly changed when he started hanging out with her.

'She always tries her best to degrade her attractive looks since she doesn't like people praising her for something that she naturally has.'

Perhaps, as we speculate, that smart bastard with a one of a kind skill changed her.

Or perhaps it was love… we don't know what happened between them, but something certainly happened between them.

And it changed her in a good way.

She doesn't like the empty words spoken without any kind of emotions behind them, so she now only curses people for that kind of behaviour instead of beating them up.

She is one of the prettiest ladies of the academy in the eyes of the people now, and as she was right now, she also behaves a lot better than how she was in the initial days.

"You really look pretty though, Lady Ezra. That blue dress, especially the black decoration on it makes it look like eyes in a vast ocean… or something similar."

"Hmm? You think so as well, Miss Bell?"

Even Bell liked how she looked right now. The relationship between these two and even prince Claud had improved in a good way.

People wouldn't believe me if I told them the three of them had a bad fight that had destroyed an entire building on the sky island during our first week in the academy.

Her behaviour and relationships with most others is still bitter and she is still foul mouthed, but she doesn't act too roughly when it's not needed.

'It has been a few weeks since she last beat someone.'

Which is a good sign. She is getting over whatever kind of frustration her curse is causing her.

She is pitiful as she is, trapped in a strange cycle even she doesn't understand. It's not easy for her to live like simple people, we understand that much.

'She didn't choose to be here, but she was here now. And as someone who lead her team past the youth stage of the annual alchemy competition, she is an amazing person.'

She is good. She just makes herself look like a bad person so that she doesn't have to deal with unnecessary stuff.

"Hmmm. Would you look at this ocean, everyone." Med exclaimed with a shocked expression when she saw the final look of our dear Quin.

"Gasp. Look at those hairs… wow."

"I was watching the whole time and I still don't understand how you moulded them into that wave-like pattern Lady Elle.

Are you a mage or something?"

"Hahaha. You can say that. Though, this much is nothing too special."

Quin was finally done as well.

The light blue dress looked good on her, the jewellery was pretty looking as well, and though the tight blouse pressured her chest, and revealed more than what people usually see of her, I know she can manage at least this much for a few hours.

She was a house captain. A new kind of uncomfortable dress was not something that could hinder her elegance that much.

"Wow…"

She was surprised when she saw her reflection in the mirror after her hair was done.

"Who's that pretty girl…?"

"An otherworldly girl who's mostly oblivious to common things of this world."

"Ptfff."

"Hahaha."

"Yeah, that's right Miss Elle~. That's exactly right~."

Quin didn't believe the reflection in the mirror was her own and was covering her face with a surprised look.

The hair made her appear even more attractive than she was after the cleanup and makeup.

'She's pretty. More than she realises.'

And the same goes for all the ladies here. They were all pretty and had their own special traits that we did our best to enhance and take out.

'Quin's pretty face, Mia's hot face, Med's cuteness, Tia's dominant personality, Ezra's hidden beauty, and Bell's hot body that she doesn't realise the attractiveness of.'

Aunt Aug took care of their looks, Haze did the dresses and decoration, and now that I am done with their hair as well, they are ready to go out and join Zoe, Anna, Carla, and others who were already out there.

"Haaaa. Good. Now that I'm done with you pretty ones, please excuse me. I still have to get in my dress, and do everything else."

We had our grand tea party in the early afternoon and still, we have been preparing these ladies since the early morning.

It's already past lunchtime, and not only I'm hungry right now, I'm not ready for the party either.

"Oh, right. Lady Elle has to get ready as well."

"You have been helping everyone since morning and you even skipped breakfast for us…"

They were feeling sorry for me now that everything was done.

These ungrateful girls didn't even even realise all that until a minute ago.

Cute little bitches.

"Do you need help with anything, Miss Elle?"

"Is there anything I can help with?"

They wanted to help me even though they didn't know a thing about proper clothing and hairstyles.

What were they going to help me with anyway, lol?

"Hahaha, there's no need to be concerned about me, ladies.

I already have the best help I will need waiting for me. So, please excuse me now, and go join the others.

I'll join you all in a little while."

Just like how we helped all these ladies with their outfits and looks, Eon, his dad, Uncle El who came back early this morning, and uncle Theo helped the boys.

'Surprisingly though, they didn't need a long time to get ready.'

They all were done an hour ago, which is comparatively early than us, something that doesn't usually happen.

But then again, there were few of them and most like Prince Claud and darling already knew what they were best with.

They were better than these dumb ladies, so they had it easy…

'We should have used them for a few things, haaaa.'

But now that they are done with their appearance already, and I don't have to worry about them, I was finally free to get ready for the tea party myself.

"You're late."

"Not my fault. It takes time with hair when you have so many to take care of."

"Yeah, yeah. Not taking help from others results in situations like that, understand now? It was foolish of you all to ban us from simply helping you out."

"No my fault, mister. Go take it up with your moms and aunts. I had nothing to do with this."

I really didn't. Not this time at least.

"Yeah yeah. Whatever. Let's finish this quickly and go down or else Anna will punish the both of us."

"Right…"

I had him so I didn't really need more help.

He was better at almost everything anyway so, helping me get ready was his duty as my lovely big fiancé.

"Have they arrived yet?"

"No but they will, soon. That's why let's not waste any time and hurry."

A tea party Anna organized for us and a few others she wanted to have around for a while, the grand tea party where everyone had to be dressed properly.

It was a special event that she was organizing first time on a scale larger than her own room, so this was going to be a special occasion.

And I know for a fact our friends aren't expecting the surprise we have prepared for them, so we're looking forward to seeing their reactions as well…

'This is going to be fun, kehe.'
