Sunday, the next day; a party hosted by Nancys mom was held at the high-class hotel suite room.

The party participants are the presidents grandchild, Megumi-chan; the president, the director and her wife, Mai-san, Yurie-san, Ringo, Elena, Hilda, Aya, and me.

Nancys mom has also an amazing energy to hold such a party right after yesterday.

She probably hold parties often in America.

Since theres a dress code in this party unlike the party between friends that Nancy held the other day, we participate in the party dressed as suits the occasion.

Mai-san wears a kimono, just like in 753[1]no, its nothing.

Yurie-san looks like an adult with the chic dress.

Although not luxurious, Ringos is a dress with shining artistic sense.

Since she is accustomed to wearing dresses, Elenas seems like a noble dress as one would expected of a princess.

Hilda wears a borrowed dress, which Elena wore when she came here in the olden days.

Ayaslooks nothing but a cosplay

No, no, Maruyama-kun.

The director led her wife and struck up a conversation.

Your imouto-san is a very cute child, isnt she?

You said that she isnt pretty, but youre also a liar, huh.

The director said that Aya is pretty.

Somehow or other, the directors eyes look like a peephole.

Nee, darling. Do you prefer a younger girl like that?

Hearing the conversation of the director and me, the directors wife butts in.

The directors wife looks quite young, particularly her chest that goes *bain bain*.

Its probably the effect of the you-know-what potion.

You mustnt say such a stupid thing, youre always the number one.

Darling!

My dear!

The director and her wife forgot about me and began to flirt.

Explode!

When I escaped from the director and her wife,

I was caught by the president and Megumi-chan this time.

Maruyama-kun, are you enjoying yourself?

Um, I guess so.

The president seems to be accustomed to such party.

Ah, Maruyama. Why are you here?

Hey, Megumi, youre being rude to Maruyama-kun.

But, Maruyama is just a rank and file employee, isnt he?

Hes out of place in the party hosted by the world-famous NancyJewelry.

The president keeps apologizing to me with glances.

He also has a position as an ojii-chan.

Maruyama-kun is Nancys acquaintance, you know?

I see, theres that connection, huh.

But since you, sticking out like a sore thumb doesnt change, behave yourself.

H-, Haa

.Whats this?

If Im not mistaken, Megumi-chan is 15 years old?

Her bad character is by no means inferior to Aya,

but aspoiledJC[2] is a cute one.

Is it a reverse-reward for some fans[3]?

What are you smirking at!?Gross!

Since Id like to drink an orange juice, go get me one, Maruyama.

What is this, a play?

Since I will get you an orange juice, wait a moment.

Unable to remain indifferent, the president went to get an orange juice on his own initiative.

Maruyama. What are you doing, making the president work!?

At a time like this, you, who is a rank and file employee, should move on your own initiative!

Y-, Youre quite right.

Somehow or other, there doesnt seem to be an orange juice and the president went somewhere to get one.

Wait, president. Dont leave me and this girl with just the two of us!

Megumi-chan and I were left behind and an awkward atmosphere was flowing.

Megumi-chan folds her arms, showing an angry appearance; and frequently looks at me.

Do you have something you want to say?

Maruyama.

Yes, what is it?

Are you an-, ninja?

Ha?

So-!Im asking you if youre a ninja!

Umu, as expected, Megumi-chan seems to be suspicious if I was the ninja at that time.

Uhh, does Megumi-chan like ninjas?

It has nothing to do with me liking them!

Is that right~, since theres a ninja museum in Mie Prefecture, you can probably ask the president to bring you there?

Nobody would ask such a thing!

Then, how about ninja animes?

Ninja turtle or something like that~~.

Mou!Im not a child!!

The president returned.

Megumi, look, Ive got an orange juice.

Enough already!I dont want an orange juice!

Megumi-chan sulked and went somewhere.

Maruyama-kun, sorry. With a spoiled girl

Ill treat you to lunch next time.

The president said so and ran after Megumi-chan.

The president seems to have it hard, too.~

–

After a short time, *kui kui* Ringo tugged at my sleeve.

UhSeiji-san.

What is it?

I, uhcould you introduce me to the president of the NancyJewelry?

Ah, sure.

I escorted Ringo and went over to where Nancy and Nancys mom is.

Nancy, Ringo wants you to introduce her.

That reminds me, there was such a promise, huh.

Mama, this isRingo, shes good at drawing.

Ringo, this is my mama. Do you know my mama?

Y-, Yes. I know!Its an honor to meet you.

Nancys mom, who was accustomed to something like this, normally shook hands with Ringo, who was very tense.

Ringo-san, please get along well with Nancy.

Y-, Yes!

It was peaceful up to there, but

!?

*Tsuka tsuka* Nancys mom suddenly approaches Ringo and grabs her by the collar![4]

Mama, what are you doing!?

Uh, uh

Ringo doesnt understand, too and is confused.

this brooch. What is it?

Eh??Brooch??

Uhh, uhh

It seems like Nancys mom isnt grabbing Ringos collar,

but instead, she seems to be observing the brooch on her chest.

Nancys mom seemed to be strangely excited,

while Ringo was flustered at the sudden event.

Since theres no helping it, I explain it.

Thats a hand-crafted accessory that Ringo designed.

Hand-crafted?Did Ringo-san make it?

Uh, its my design,

but its Seiji who made it.

Seiji!You-!!

Nancys mom grabbed me by the collar this time.

This time, shes really grabbing me by the collar.

I didnt do anything wrong, you know?

Its true.
