What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy? Chapter 406 This Wasn't Just A Tea Party?

It wasn't just who was surprised by Sult's declaration since Julia and Brita were also looking at her in surprise.

I tilted my head at her, "Umm… Have I wronged you in so way, Lady Sult?"

She gave a confused look, "Huh? How could you? This is our first eting isn't it?"

"Then… Why do you want to fight ?"

She shook her head with an expression that I recognised as pity, "This is why I don't understand why Julia even invited you here. Are you not even aware of the values that our House Teloi stands for?"

I blinked, "Eh? Ummm… Not really?"

I an… I know from Katsuki about the past of this family but what did she an by the values they stand for? Is it sothing like visitors needing to pass so kind of test before they can be welcod here or sothing?

Seeing that they were running so kind of martial school, I don't think that's too impossible of a guess…

But in that case, why were Julia and Brita so surprised? Was there so kind of order that they needed to adhere to before challenging soone and she overstepped her bounds?

Julia stepped towards her, "Umm… Sister Sult… I don't think that's a good idea…"

Sult raised her hand to stop her, "No, no. This must be done! I don't care who she is, if she even wants to step foot in my cute little cousin's ho, she must at least prove herself worthy!"

"N… No… I… I ant to tell you that… Lady Aster is… Is a Special Class student at the Academy… Sister Sult might not… Umm…"

"Oh yes, I heard about that! That's why I want to experience this for myself! Now co, Lady Aster! Let us head outside and I shall see if you are worthy!"

"But… But Lady Aster is not…"

"No buts! Just let your cousin handle this one, Little Julia!"

Seems like I was right about them having so kind of welcoming tradition?

I dunno, I'm not that familiar with their family… I'm only here to attend their tea party so that I could get so experience in Noble Etiquette… How did it even beco like this?

Hmmm… Maybe Mother already knew about this and she was using this as a way to let learn how to adapt to such strange circumstances? She did tell to act with authority didn't she?

But does that an I should refuse it? Or should I go through with it?

Arggghhhh!! This is all politics again!!

Considering my current position where I was not acting as the child of the Nilm Family, I do not think I have the authority to refuse her invitation without insulting them especially when they are the host.

Similarly, if I choose to leave, that would also make look like I had no respect for them either…

Alright, let's just go with it… It's just a sword fight right? It's not like I have no experience in sword duels anyway.

I followed Lady Sult to the garden at the back of the main building where a training ground seed to have been set up for precisely such a purpose.

I then nodded at her dress, "Are you fine with fighting in that?"

She smirked and moved her hands behind her back, pulling on two strings behind her that caused her dress skirt to tighten up almost magically to fit her legs, revealing that it was actually a pair of pants all along.

What the hell?! That's so cool!!

"Where did you get that?!" I gasped before I could stop myself.

What?! Even if I had the [Fashion Forward] boon that helped move in whatever kind of clothes I wore without issues, you can't deny that that was so cool!!

If that dress has pockets too, I'm definitely sold!

She grinned at , "Haha! Interested are you? If you beat , I'll not only introduce you to the shop but give you your first dress for free! If you'd like, I can let you change into one to try it out for our duel as a test!"

Oh~ Even though I didn't actually need her offer of free clothes since I do have the money to pay for them but I won't say no to free stuff anyway~

I shook my head and flared my skirt, "I'm fine like this~ I've trained myself to be able to fight in anything I happen to be wearing at all tis."

She eyed the heels I was wearing which was different from my usual boots since I was expecting to attend a noble's tea party after all.

Instead of pointing that out to , she simply shrugged and reached behind her back, pulling out a shortsword that I can only assu had been strapped to her back the entire ti.

Was this how she kept her back straight?

"Now, what weapon would you like to use, Lady Aster? We have all kinds of weapons here, you just need to na it!"

I pointed at the sword she was holding, "We're using real weapons?"

"Of course! How else will I know your sincerity if we do not use real blades?! Not to worry, we have healers in our house!"

"In that case… Just a normal sword like yours would do."

I would have brought out my Light Sword but I didn't bring it with today since… Like I said… Tea party.

Lady Sult snapped her fingers and a maid ca forward and presented a shortsword to .

I took it and gave it a few swings to test its weight, nodding in satisfaction before turning to my opponent.

She grinned and adopted a stance where her body was tilted to be perpendicular to with her sword held in one hand and pointed at .

I lowered myself in my own stance, noticing Brita taking out a small bell with an amused look on her face which I assud would signal the start of our duel. The fact that she even had that on her ant this must happen quite often.

She moved her hand and the small bell rang, prompting to dash forward with my sword slashing towards Lady Sult's throat.

Naturally, I was already expecting her to block it and I would follow up with a… Eh?

She's moving to intercept it but even I can tell that she would not be in ti to block my attack.

I had to stop myself and my blade was already resting on her throat while her sword was stopped at an awkward angle from when she tried to block my attack.

Ah… Err… I didn't check her stats…

Ah… Umm… Her stats aren't bad but when compared to mine… Sorry… I didn't even hold back…

She looked down at the sword pressed against her throat, needing several blinks to realise that she had actually lost.

When that realisation dawned on her face, I quickly pulled back my sword and let her go.

"Ha… Ha ha! It seems like they were not exaggerating at all, Lady Aster! Even though you may be from the countryside, you are still gifted in the way of the sword! I am convinced!"

Oh good, though I felt the comnt about the countryside was unnecessary…

I returned the sword to the maid before turning back to her, "So… What now?"

"Well, I have no complaints! You can go ahead and date my little cousin!"

…

I was so surprised that I let out an "Eh?"

Julia ca up to and quickly bowed her head, "I'm so sorry Lady Aster! My cousin thought that you were trying to marry !"

I blinked at the girl in front of before turning back to Lady Sult who was looking at with equal surprise.

"Eh? Lady Aster isn't trying to co here to ask for my little cousin's hand in marriage?"

"Umm… No? I'm here because she invited to her tea party… Was this not what it is?"

All of us just stood there in surprised silence for a good minute before I decided to clear my throat to break the silence.

"Ahem… Umm… Is the tea party still happening?"

Julia quickly jumped on the way out I offered her, "Yes! Yes! Let's go back to the balcony Lady Aster! Please!"

The poor girl was definitely embarrassed at this point… Her cousin really thought that she had invited over to be introduced to the family…

At this point, I was just hoping that we can forget this even happened and just go to the actual tea party part of the day and just eat sweets and gossip.

Unfortunately, that was not to be since Lady Sult was not satisfied with this and stepped in front of us, "Wait a minute! Are you telling that Lady Aster is really just here for the tea party and nothing more?!"

I nodded, "That is what Lady Julia had invited for, yes… Is there… Is there a problem?"

"Of course there's a problem! How are you not asking her to marry you, little cousin?! Isn't she the perfect partner?! How have you not made a move on her yet?! Didn't you say that she--"

"Sister Sult!!" Julia cried out, her face turning red with embarrassnt while covering the older girl's mouth.

Ah… I think I get it…

Julia must have had a crush on or sothing and told her cousins about it. When I accepted the invitation to co to this tea party after rejecting every other invitation so far, the cousins must have thought I accepted her advances or sothing?

Well… This isn't awkward at all… Should I just go ho now?
