Well… treatment was successfully completed, and the party started in the evening.

It seemed troublesome, so I didn’t attend, but of course Elena, and of course Teresa and Fiora, were in attendance.

Seriana was the main guest, but since Elena’s birthday is only a few days apart, it seems it turned into a splendid occasion celebrating her as well.

Looking back, the year before last was hectic with the establishment of the new territory, and last year I had a child on the way, so there was no time for parties…

This is the first time for this.

Well, it’s bound to be lively.

By the time I went to bed, the party itself had already ended, but there were still many guests remaining in the mansion.

They were divided into north and south wings, enjoying conversations with drinks until late into the night.

It must have been a fun gathering.

Before I knew it, the alcohol was flowing, and after Seriana closed the party, she felt reluctant to return to her room and decided to rest in a nearby vacant room…

Seriana’s room is at the far end of the second floor, after all.

I had heard about this from the maid who brought breakfast to the room… After that, Teresa came to call me to her room, and I followed her to the guest room just before the stairs.

It’s been a while since I explored inside the mansion after its renovation was completed.

“Well, this is the situation…”

Before me, Seriana and Elena were lying groaning on the same bed.

Looks like they’re hungover.

“Yes. They asked for the princess to be called… Is that alright with you?”

Teresa replied apologetically to my words.

Perhaps she has some idea of what they’re up to.

“Yeah… I’ve done this before. Well, it’s not something that happens often.”

When Seriana was attending the noble academy in the capital, something similar happened, but that was the last time.

Remembering that, I descended from the Floating Orb and sat between the two lying on the bed.

Then, I placed my hands on their stomachs and activated “Prayer” and “Mira’s Blessing” to begin treatment.

“S… Sera… Sorry…”

“Yeah. It’s okay, it’s okay.”

“Th… Thank you.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

They seemed to be recovering little by little, now able to speak.

Both of them thanked me.

Elena aside, Seriana tends to become timid when she’s in this state.

Interesting.

It’s not good for the guest of honor at a celebration to not drink even though they can.

If it’s frequent, I might want to say one or two nagging things from a health perspective, but once every few years… I think it’s okay to play even more.

This is a cheap request.

◇

Treatment took just under an hour.

The two who had pale, corpse-like faces were able to sit up to a degree, and I decided my assistance was no longer necessary.

“Were Teresa and the others okay?”

Teresa and Fiora, who wasn’t here, were supposed to have attended the party.

These two are in such a state, but how about those two?

At first glance, Teresa seems unchanged as always…

“I only had one drink at the beginning, so I’m fine. I’m not sure about Lady Fiora, but when she left, she seemed to be walking the same as always. Lord Zighart was with her too, so you don’t need to worry.”

“I see…”

Is it the difference in experience in handling alcohol, or experience in such situations?

They’re still young…

But if these two were in such a state, how about Liesel?

There are enough members supporting the lord’s work, but who was the support at parties and such?

Apart from August, Alec is about it.

Men are more likely to drink than women, so those two seem strong against alcohol, but what about Liesel?

…Hmm.

The three are talking about leaving this room and moving to Seriana’s room soon, so I think we’re okay here.

“Since the two seem to be fine now, I’ll go check on the lord.”

Saying that, I look at Seriana, who waves her hand at me.

Is she telling me to go?

“Yes. Leave this to me.”

Teresa seemed to have seen that too, saying she would watch over.

Well then, leave it to her.

I got off the bed and headed to the door on the Floating Orb.

◇

I came to the corridor leading to Liesel’s room.

There are soldiers standing guard in front of the room, but… when I showed up, they opened the door.

It’s not something they decided on their own.

I don’t know who’s inside the room, but did they notice me at this distance?

I always wonder, how do they notice…?

“Excuse me.”

As I call out towards the inside and enter the room, there are three figures inside.

Carlos, Rose, and Liesel, the owner of the room.

“Welcome, Sera-kun. It’s rare for you to come here. Are you here on an errand for Seria?”

Liesel wore her usual, excessively refreshing smile.

Instead of the smell of alcohol, the room was filled with the scent of tea… This is a scene far from a hangover.
