Akuyaku Reijou ni Nanka Narimasen - Chapter 509 (Patreon)

Please make me a lady, too! (Fiancée edition)
I asked Dirk to confirm the format of the party with Fizz. It seems that the debut party will be a standing buffet.

The plan is to announce it at Marquis Roswaide’s main residence and then have a standing buffet party.

However, normally this kind of thing is the wife's job... Of course, Fizz's mother, the Marchioness, will help. Even if Fizz doesn't intend to take over the family, organizing parties is originally the wife's role. Sometimes, when the fiancée is a minor, this isn't done, but in principle, it's better for Yue-chan to be on the organizing side of the party.

I checked with Yue-chan just in case.

"Well, I've only been here a short time, and Fizz is taking care of everything..."

"I see. What do you think, Yue-chan? Helping with preparations is something you'll have to do someday if you become Fizz's wife. Organizing parties, soirées, and tea parties is basically the wife's job."

This is a very important task. It's a place to evaluate the wife's sense, attentiveness, as well as the household's assets, information-gathering capabilities, and social connections.

By the way, both my families, the Rosenbergs and the Bartons, are very popular for parties and tea parties.

"... It's my engagement party with Fizz, so I want to be involved in the preparations."

"Then, please tell Fizz that. It will be tough, but it will be a good experience. Fizz is stubborn... I'll teach you a little trick."

"Can I really use such a sophisticated trick...? Isn't it only possible because it's you, Rosarin?"

"No, it should work perfectly. Try it, and see."

"... Alright. Fizz probably won't listen to a simple request, so I'll give it a try."

It seems Yue-chan made up her mind. Good luck, Yue-chan!

"What did you teach her?"

"Whoa!?"

Dirk had approached from behind. I didn't sense his presence!

"Hmm?"

I played innocent.

"Dirk, I have a favor to ask."

I clasped my hands in front of my chest and slowly looked up at Dirk. I made my eyes moist and stared straight into Dirk's eyes.

"Uh..."

"Will you grant Rosarin's request? Please, Dirk..."

I pleaded with Dirk sweetly.

"Uh... if it's within reason..."

"Yay! Then let's go on a date after school today! Last time it got postponed because of Yue-chan's guidance."

"You don't have to beg for a date; I wouldn't refuse anyway..."

I chuckled.

"That's what I taught. How to sweetly request something from someone you love."

"............ Huh? Aaahhh!?"

Dirk had a distant look in his eyes while still holding me.

"... Good luck, Fizz... um, Rosarin."

"Yes."

"That method, you know? If used improperly, Yue might be in danger."

"It’s Fizz, so it’s fine, right?"

"It's fine, but it's not fine! Oh, remembering the days I had to endure! Don't give my friend unnecessary trials! He already complained that Yue's been getting cuter recently, and it's tough!"

I tilted my head.

"... But having a cute fiancée (bride) is a good thing, right?"

"He's living under the same roof with an adorably defenseless fiancée!"

I thought it sounded like an old comic book setup and responded absentmindedly.

"Heh~? Okay."

"He wants to make a move, but he can't because he loves her! Please don't give more trials to a wolf enduring it!"

"I'll consider it."

"You won't stop after considering it, right!"

"Oops."

As expected of my husband, he saw right through me! I made a cheeky face.

"Hey!"

"Well, I understand Yue-chan's feelings... A girl who works hard for the one she loves... And I can't ignore a friend in trouble."

"Rosarin..."

"Also, it feels like Fizz is making the same mistake you did, Dirk."

"Ugh!?"

Dirk crouched down, seemingly hit by something he recognized.

"Well, it shows how much you guys care about your partners, I guess."

I'll keep an eye on things for a while, making sure not to intervene too much.

The next day, Yue-chan successfully made her request and reported back with a smile. However, Fizz found out about the advice I gave and scolded me for it.
