After Alice's tour of the house was over, I introduced the house to the people involved in Lilia-san's mansion, including Mom and Dad, and decided on rooms for my parents and Anima and the others, and before I knew it, it was late in the evening.
　That night, as we were eating dinner at Lilia-san's mansion as we had been doing until now due to the suggestion of the head chef that we wouldn't bother to be separate, Lilia-san asked me about the newly built party at that table.

　It's true that it can't just be the end of the story once the house is built, so it's probably necessary to have a party to show off to those acquaintances.
　That's why we decided to plan a party to celebrate the new building from the next day, but then I received a letter from Lasse-san asking me to delay the date of the party a little bit.
　The letter says that a joint meeting of the three countries is currently being held at the royal palace, and Lasse-san, Chris-san and Laguna-san would like to participate in the party, so if possible, could they do so after the meeting is over?

　It's my first time to host a party, so I would have appreciated it if there was some time to spare, and of course I wanted Lasse and the others to come as well, so I said yes right away.
　And after that, we had to prepare for the party...but we had no idea what to do, and preparations didn't progress at all....

''That's right. The ingredients for the dishes should be fine on this list. I'm sure you're more qualified than me in terms of handling Zwei's invited guests, do you mind if I leave it to you?
Yes, that's not a problem. Then Ayn will be in charge of internal preparations, including the venue, and I will be in charge of external preparations, such as selecting and scheduling the guests.
'Zwei, how about handing out mementos and other items to the guests at the party?
Yes, it's not a problem. But it's probably best not to buy anything too expensive. As for that, I'll arrange for something bland on my end. The problem is in regards to the congratulatory gifts that our guests will bring...
No problem there. We know where the warehouse is and we are ready to bring it in. If it comes down to it, you can ask for help from Kuronoa and use your "spatial authority" to deal with it. If it's for Kaito-sama's sake, Kuronoa won't say no, either.
....

　　Why are these two people participating as organizers, as if it were a given?　I'm pretty meticulous in my meetings!　No, no, I'm grateful, but no, really, how did this happen?
　In front of me, who was dumbfounded, unable to follow the developments, Ein-san and Zwei-san crisply proceeded to prepare the party.









''.........It's funny, right?　I'm supposed to be the organizer and there's nothing to do...
Haha, both Ayn and Zwei were really excited about it. Since you volunteered for the job, I think it's a good idea to leave it to them, don't you think?
'Speaking of strange, the room should have been changed, and Black, who's standing by as a matter of course, but... did Alice tell you where my room is?'
'No, I adjusted the space so that I could come directly from my room--oh, yes!　Chartier told me about it!
Wait a minute, were you just about to say...

　Is it my imagination?　I wonder if it's just my imagination that I think there are some functions hidden from me even though it's supposed to be my room...or maybe it's not. I'm sure they've planted more than just that gate.
　As I was thinking about this, a part of the wall of the room ... a blank space opened like a door and Alice appeared.

''........Speaking of which, Kuro-san, when do you want to meet Kite's parents?''
'Hmmm. I guess it's better to wait until after the party is over, after all.　We could do it more at a party, but it would be difficult for Isis to do that without a parlor.
No, wait, hey, Alice. Where did you come from now...
'What?　No, that's the hidden part - I'll have something to think about before the party!
Well I'll talk to you later.

　I'll have to ask this question later. Specifically, how many hidden functions exist in this mansion that have not been explained to me....
　I looked at Alice, who had a dim expression on her face, let out a big sigh, and opened my mouth.

''........Huh, so?　What's to think about?　Are we talking about hiring a servant for the mansion or something?

　Needless to say, my house, which is the same size as Lilia-san's mansion, is huge. It's not very large, but Anima, Eta, and Theta.......even if I added Caraway-san to it, it would be difficult to clean and maintain the garden.
　So that would inevitably require hiring servants, that's why I asked.......

''No, there's no problem over there, and we can discuss what extent of acquaintance we should invite.
Yeah - everyone in my family wanted to wear it, but they can't all wear it, you know.
"...Heh?　No, um ... sorry, just a minute.

　After nodding my head at the completely different reaction I was expecting, I walked out of the room once to check.
　Then I called Anima at Hummingbird and asked her what I was wondering.

'Anima, this house ... it's been three days today since it was completed ... and you haven't really started cleaning it or anything like that yet, have you?'

Huh?
