55. Experience the Socialite

[Episode 55] – Experience the Socialite

Children socialites.

It is literally a social circle where children gather. If adults’ social circle is a den of insidious snakes, children’s social circle is a miniature version of it, a gathering of cute baby snakes.

As it is now, it was simpler in-game. It is a socialite system that is open to people over the age of 10 in the game, and it was a recurring event to raise the status of etiquette, art, and conversational skills called “Social evaluation.”

It’s already difficult to raise, but the stats are difficult to manage, and the numbers drop drastically. However, the stats that must be raised to enter the “Queen Ending”.

However, even if you open a social circle, the ‘social evaluation’ does not always go up. Like an unfriendly roguelike parenting simulation, if the princess’s ‘intelligence’ level is low, the children’s social circle ended in failure.

A princess who gladly opens a social circle with the thought of making friends, but is ignored by the social circle due to her relatively low intelligence level, and ends up closing the door to her heart due to a lot of stress.

There were many such cases in games. A socialite is a socialite, even if it is a child socialite. It was easy to get hurt if you ignored it as it was a den of cute little snakes.

‘Come to think of it… What is Titania’s status now?’

I glanced at the princess lying next to her and reading a book. Unlike the lessons I taught when I was a child, the lessons of the fortress princess were taught by teachers carefully brought by the ministers.

As I grew older, I realized that I was not good enough to teach the princess.

‘Even in the game, there was a separate teacher who taught the princess.’

In particular, it wouldn’t be a problem if I didn’t teach the princess from one to ten. The problem is, unlike the days when the figures were visible, now the princess’s status is not visible.

I had no way of knowing what the princess’ ‘intelligence’ was and what her ‘social evaluation’ was. I wondered what would happen if I spent my childhood socialite like this and then came back sullen and ignored like a game.

I tapped the butt of the princess who was reading a book next to me and made a worried expression. Then, the princess raised her head and looked at me as if asking what was going on.

“Titania… Have you learned all the arithmetic operations?”

“……Yes?”

When I asked very anxiously, the princess frowned at her incredulously, turned her head away to see if it was not worth mentioning, and started reading again. Does that mean you’ve learned everything?

Fortunately, the teachers often told me that the princess was smart for a ten-year-old. Compared to other young girls her age, she followed her lessons well, and her teachers praised her to the extent that their mouths were watering.

I had never thought deeply about it, thinking that the teachers were just giving a fart to the princess, but… I started to get worried as the children’s social circle was approaching.

Because it is the heart of a parent to not want their children to be ignored by others. Of course, I didn’t think that Titania would be ignored, but I couldn’t help but worry.

‘What are you doing in a social world in the first place…? Vivian has never been invited or anything like that in the social world, so I have no idea. In novels, I hear people are sarcastic every day…’

Even though it seems like it’s been quite some time since I was possessed by Vivian’s body, not a single invitation to a party or a letter to say hello to Vivian has ever arrived.

Before she got married, she was Vivian, who was called the flower of the social world, but since she became queen, she was not even invited anywhere, so she seemed to know how the social world worked. .

‘Still, I should know how the social world works.’

I needed someone who could teach me about the social world, and who would turn a blind eye to it, even if they knew that I was inexperienced in the social world.

‘There are roughly a few people like that…’

“Okay, I’m going to open the social circle from now on. Everyone applauds.”

“Yes? He said he would call you suddenly, so I came here, but now what…”

Four people gathered at a small tea table. First of all, of course me. I’m the one to learn about the social world, but it’s difficult if I’m not into it. And the one who is arguing with me is…

“Miss Treasury. To use a nice tone. You are a young young lady from now on.”

“Yes??”

It was a bang show with all the hair. Bangshaw, embarrassed by the sudden situation, frowned and looked at me. As Bangchaud was perplexed and at a loss for what to do, the Foreign Minister next to him was also taken aback.

“Your Highness the Queen… What the hell is this? I came here because it was urgent, and suddenly I opened a social event. You know that we are not very idle people.”

“Miss Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I saw you forgot snacks in your office. Aren’t you an idle person? And does this look like play? It’s urgent enough.”

“No, that’s it, huh…”

Miss Foreign Ministry, looking at the black tea in a pretty cup placed in front of her, closed her eyes tightly. He couldn’t figure out why he was here or why he was doing this.

Then, Miss Education, who was laughing hohoho, covered her mouth with a fan, and began to sarcastically stare at Miss Foreign Ministry. As expected, I believed that you would follow along well with this.

“Ho-ho-ho, it seems that the lady of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still unable to grasp the situation. Her Highness, if this is hell, then hell, if it’s a socialite, isn’t it a socialite?”

“Huh… crazy man.”

Miss Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as if feeling burnt, swallowed a pretty cup of tea and spat out a curse. When I glared at her to use nice words, she was on the verge of crying right now. I should be thankful that I didn’t wear a woman’s dress.

I raised my teacup and glanced at Miss Ministers sitting next to me. Miss Bald, who hasn’t come to her senses yet. And Miss Foreign Ministry, who is about to cry, and Miss Education Ministry, who says she is enjoying this situation and eats sweets. It’s a perfect combination.

“The reason I did this all of a sudden is for the sake of the princess’s soon-to-be child socialite. As you know, it’s been a while since I stepped out of society. I just wanted to get your help.”

“If that’s the case, why don’t you just say that… Then we know what’s trending in the social world these days…!”

“Miss Foreign Ministry, kind words.”

“…Everybody knows what’s trending… Ho ho ho.”

Certainly, it would have been easier to just ask the ministers to find out what was trending and what was going on in society these days. But, no matter what, an investigation is just an investigation.

“It was much better to experience it myself. But wouldn’t it be a nuisance to you if I held a socialite party or a tea party on my own?”

“It is more of a nuisance now… Her Highness the Queen.”

“Oh, there’s nothing I can’t say to Her Highness, the queen who opened the social world. Miss Foreign Ministry.”

“Miss Ministry of Education. I’m sick of it.”

Amid the chatter between the Miss Education Ministry and the Miss Foreign Ministry, Miss Treasury touched her forehead and sighed. Miss Treasury, even muttering in a low voice whether she should give up her ministerial post.

“Anyway… Imagine that this is the tea party I invited you to. Then what conversation will you have?”

“First of all… what is the theme of this tea party?”

A subject? In the game, it was just a tea party, and I hadn’t paid much attention to the subject of the tea party. We’re having a tea party in the first place, but we need a theme…?

“…What’s a popular subject for young ladies these days? In the first place, I don’t know what being a child socialite itself is like…”

“Oh ho ho ho! On that point, let me, Miss Educator, tell you. Her Highness the Queen!”

Ugh. The Miss Foreign Ministry, who had an extremely disgusted expression, frowned at the Miss Education Ministry. Miss Treasury averted her gaze from the situation, sweeping her face as if she did not want to say anything further.

Okay or not, Miss Education excitedly began to explain to me about a topic currently trending in children’s social circles. As befits his position as the Ministry of Education, he seemed to know this well.

“The trending topic in kids’ social circles these days is pets. These days, a book that says raising a pet in childhood enriches children’s sensibilities is widely popular among noble ladies.”

“A pet… Any other topics?”

“Well… Other things are common. If it’s the piano, there are many subjects that are the piano, the tea ceremony in general, or the art side. If Her Highness the Queen is planning to invite the young ladies herself, I don’t recommend this one.”

“Why? I know that the princess has studied quite a bit in this area. Is there any problem?”

“That’s what art is all about. You might think you’ve done enough to study, but when you go and try to talk, you’re busy talking about what only they know. The moment you try to show off useless knowledge, it is easy to become a target for art.”

“Hmm.”

“A place that even adults are reluctant to go to is an art-related social scene. It’s not a den of snakes, it’s a devil’s den. Hell.”

So, in the words of Miss Education, it meant that people were talking about what they knew, and the moment the princess pretended to know, it was easy to become a target. Anyway, I guess it’s not a gloomy snake’s lair.

Miss Education, who elegantly raised her pinky and drank tea, covered her mouth with a fan, and continued the story with a reddish smile.

“So, if Her Highness is thinking of throwing a party or tea party for the princess, I recommend a pet-themed one.”

“But the princess doesn’t have a pet? I don’t have time to say that I’m going to raise it from now on.”

Does the princess like pets in the first place? No, even if she likes the princess, will she like Ainsel, her friend next to him? Even Fran, who helped her, was by the princess’s side, so she was slightly reluctant to Ainsel.

With Ainsel like that by her side, if the princess even declared that she had a pet… It was obvious what the situation would be like without looking at it. It will be very upsetting.

After thinking about it for a while, I sat next to Miss Ministry of Foreign Affairs and looked at Miss Foreign Ministry with a frown as if there was something wrong with the Ministry of Education. In an instant, Miss Foreign Ministry, feeling the unfavorable gaze, looked at Miss Education Ministry in annoyance.

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll lend you one of my puppies. He has a lot of aegyo, so it’s cute.”

“Oh, would you?”

“Her Highness the Queen… As Miss Foreign Ministry, I advise you that the cuteness that Miss Education Ministry speaks of is far from ordinary people. Please think again-“

“Ignore the talk of a coward who is afraid of dogs. I will send you the most docile one.”

Befitting a Miss Foreign Minister who is afraid of dogs, she sighed, saying that her teeth were shaking. I didn’t think it would be a problem, so I decided to follow the words of Miss Education.

“As expected, a good answer comes out when the three ministers put their heads together. Miss Treasury, you prepare to hold a modest tea party.”

“How many people are you planning to do?”

“I’m going to make it simple, so five people will be enough. Miss Foreign Ministry and Miss Education Ministry send out invitations to the most docile and sound children. Select only the most well-received and nicest children.”

“I will.”

Since it is the first time the princess has experienced a social scene, I thought it would be all right to prepare in a moderately comfortable atmosphere and know what a social scene is like. Rather than the bitter taste of society, you’d better taste the sweetness of making friends first.

In this way, the social event with the miss ministers ended, and the ministers began to move busily to prepare for the princess’s first social event.

The theme is your pet.

Remembering the image of young children bringing their pets and boasting to each other, I burst into laughter without even realizing it.

That place will definitely be a very cute place.
