Not long after that, a bewildered Hakuya and happy Jeanne came into the room. Jeanne was pulling Hakuya along by the sleeve. It looked like she was feeling better now.

“It seems like your sister’s in a better mood.”

Maria had also noticed them, and was smiling softly. “Speaking of little sisters, is Trill doing well?”

“Yeah. A little too well. She’s hard at work on developing the drill with Genia. I actually wanted to bring her along, but she firmly refused...”

I thought it would be a good chance for the three sisters to get together, but...

“Not a chance! If I were to meet my sisters now, I’d surely receive an extended lecture about not interfering with Big Sister Genia’s married life! Big Sister Jeanne is so strict, I might even be taken back to the Empire! I absolutely refuse to accompany you!”

...Trill wasn’t having it.

Granted, I couldn’t be too firm with her given her own status. I had Jeanne’s permission to be strict with Trill, but I wouldn’t have wanted to upset her and delay the drill development project as a result. That was why I was letting her do as she pleased, within reason. If things got out of hand, I’d have her sisters scold her, though.

Maria chuckled. “That’s so like her. Always free-spirited. I envy her a little.”

“Speaking of free spirits... Everyone here is acting pretty free-spirited, huh?”

I looked around, and people from the Kingdom and Empire were mingling in quite a chaotic scene. Naden was passionately regaling Krahe with the story of how the two of us met. Her face was a little red, and her eyes were unfocused. She looked tipsy.

“So, like I was saying, Souma, he told me I had individuality. It... made me really happy.”

“Oho, I see, I see. That is a wonderful way to have met. Here, have another drink.”

“...Hic.”

It looked like Krahe had wheedled her into telling him everything. Well, him knowing how the two of us met wasn’t going to cause any problems. There were guards nearby, so if it sounded like she might divulge anything that ought to be kept secret, they’d probably stop her. But Naden... if she still remembered this when she sobered up, she was going to be writhing in shame, wasn’t she?

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the room, Mio was knocking back a stiff drink.

“Urgh... What am I even doing here...?”

“M-Madam Mio? Aren’t you drinking a little too much?” Owen commented, attempting to stop her.

Mio shouted, “You think I could get through this without drinking?!” and helped herself to another. “I was surprised enough that the Elfrieden Kingdom and the Principality of Amidonia had been unified, but we’re on friendly terms with the Empire now, too...? What happened to the Kingdom while I was away? I feel like a traveler coming back home after a decade, and shocked by how everything’s changed... Hic.”

“A lot happened. Oh, geez, you’re drinking too much. If you’re hungover, the gondola ride is just going to be that much harder on you, you know?”

Though Owen was trying to calm her down, she wasn’t listening to him.
