After finishing her discussion with Lord Glück, Fíliya quickly returned to Solitär and the others.
Moreover, not long after, they received an invitation from the Lord, stating that he wanted them to attend a so-called "Family Banquet."
"Hss... Do you guys think we should go to this 'Family Banquet'?"
Fíliya looked at the people before her with a grave expression.
"Go, of course we're going. After being tired for so long, are you saying we can't even have a good meal? I'm starving to death!"
Naturally, the first to speak was Miss Aura.
"...This 'Family Banquet' shouldn't have those densely packed, annoying crowds, right?"
Miss Fíliya asked somewhat nervously.
"Isn't that nonsense? Otherwise, why would it be called a 'Family Banquet'?"
Aura looked at Fíliya with a puzzled face, feeling that this hesitant attitude didn't seem like her at all.
"Uh... surely there won't be segments requiring interaction and dancing, right?"
Fíliya asked probingly again.
"Oh... so you're worried about that. No... aren't you usually quite smart? Whose 'Family Banquet' makes guests dance! Even Linie and I understand this, so why are you asking?"
Aura spoke with a look of displeasure.
"Oh, that's good then."
Fíliya seemed to finally breathe a long sigh of relief. It was evident that the previous evening party had indeed caused her quite a bit of psychological trauma.
"Really, if you were so reluctant, why did you agree to me back then?"
Solitär, sitting to the side, couldn't help but tease her upon seeing this.
"Mm... Because it was the first time you made that kind of request to me. I didn't want to refuse you either, so... I'll just put in a little effort, I guess?"
Fíliya exchanged a casual glance with Solitär, then added.
"Since that's the case, let's prepare to attend the banquet. However, before that..."
As Fíliya spoke, she stood up again and looked Solitär up and down with ill-intentioned eyes.
"..."
Solitär felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at by Fíliya, but because she was very satisfied with Fíliya's answer just now, she didn't say much. Since Fíliya is cooperating so well to fulfill my wish, then this time... let me satisfy her, Solitär thought.
After some scrutiny, Fíliya walked to the door of their room in quick strides, pulled it open, and leaned half her body out.
"Lady Fíliya?"
Standing outside was a maid of the Glück family, responsible for taking care of Fíliya's group's daily life here.
Although the maid didn't know who Fíliya's group exactly was, since it was the Master's order, she dared not neglect them.
Of course, it must be mentioned in passing that Solitär and the others had long since resumed maintaining that magic to disguise their identities.
"You, come in for a moment," Fíliya said to the maid.
So the maid followed Fíliya into the room.
"See her? Go, measure her figure."
Fíliya rested one hand on the maid's shoulder and pointed in Solitär's direction.
"I... I understand."
When Fíliya's palm rested on the maid's shoulder, the maid was obviously stunned for a moment before hurriedly walking to Solitär's side according to Fíliya's instructions.
The maid just felt that Fíliya was truly an incredible existence.
She was a type completely different from all the noble ladies she had ever seen... This free and easy, confident feeling made her seem more like a noble young lord or... a rebellious prince or something.
Thinking of this, the maid hurriedly shook her head, forcing herself to calm down before starting to measure Solitär.
Miss Solitär, who was proficient in human nature (in a complimentary sense), knew exactly what this human was thinking just by looking at the maid's expression, so she glared at Miss Fíliya with a look of extreme disgust.
But Fíliya was somewhat innocent regarding this. Is it my fault that I'm loved by everyone? ...She thought very narcissistically.
A few minutes later, the little maid came to Fíliya again with a slightly blushing face to ask for instructions.
"Um, Lady Fíliya, I'm done... I wonder what else you need?"
"Umu... It's definitely too late to have one custom-made now. Just use your discretion and find a maid outfit she can wear."
Fíliya said casually.
"...I understand... But this young lady's figure is a bit too... um... I'll try. I don't know if there's such a small size..."
The maid muttered as she left. When she disappeared from the room, Miss Solitär, whose expression had obviously become somewhat dangerous, slowly walked to Fíliya's side.
"What are you doing, what are you doing! You get angry out of shame just because someone said you're 'small'?! You, ah, still lack confidence. Look, I never get shaken by other people's words."
As Fíliya spoke, she very proudly puffed out her completely flat chest.
But Solitär completely ignored this and directly reached out to pinch Fíliya's cheek.
"Is this your reason for pulling a human over to humiliate me?"
Miss Solitär questioned with an unhappy face.
"Not at all, this just shows that everyone's eyes are sharp... Okay! I was wrong!"
Seeing Solitär starting to increase the force, Miss Fíliya finally chose to admit her mistake.
"Hmph."
After Fíliya admitted her mistake, Solitär let her go. Then, while waiting for the little maid to return, she chose to sit on Fíliya's lap to wait.
After another period of time, with less than 20 minutes left before the start of the Glück family's "Family Banquet," the maid finally returned to everyone.
"Lady Fíliya... the smallest one is only this set. For this young lady, it might still be a bit... I'm sorry."
The little maid bowed and apologized very seriously.
Solitär obviously clenched her fist again upon hearing these words; it was clear she was trying her best to endure.
"Mm, got it. You may leave."
Fíliya casually took the clothes from the maid's hands, observed them for a few seconds, and then handed them to Solitär.
"You, you've lived for a thousand years, surely you wouldn't get angry with a little human girl, right?"
Fíliya chuckled lightly as she looked at Solitär.
"..."
Solitär was speechless and could only roll her eyes at Fíliya again.
When she finished changing clothes and stood before everyone again, she had recovered her smile.
What the heck, these clothes fit perfectly, they aren't big at all, Solitär thought to herself, then looked at Fíliya, obviously expecting her to say something.
"Hmm? Does it really fit? It feels like the chest area here is... Ouch!"
Miss Fíliya was just about to reach out to verify, but was directly punched in the stomach by Solitär.
