Chapter 71.

He said “I also learned some arrows when I was five years old, and next time I’m going to use a huge monster like a princess as target practice.”
“So it’s a male female ! “
“The dress you’re wearing today suits you perfectly.”
“Very appropriate clothes.”
“Thank you.”
I replied as if nothing had happened to the eyes that were swept to my side.
“Pfft!” Whereupon, obvious sneers erupted all around.
LOL. Those things that aren’t even enough for a punch.
Although angry, it’s tolerable when it’s not actually something directly related to me. It’s something the original body did in the past, so what else can be done nowadays.
If the nonsense continues and it reaches the ears of the Duke or Derek ……
It could then become an issue directly related to life.
Not only that, but the Duke invited him to the party with more anticipation than the person in question, and felt a little sorry for that. Therefore, I intend to hold on to my position until I find a better one.
I seem to be a little anxious about how I didn’t budge even a little bit even when I scoffed, and my head of blue hair shook my mouth once again.
I think he’s going out to fight demons today as well, right?
“Oh? You’ll notice that it’s really the same one who dealt with the demons yesterday.”
Aris-sama covered the stone bow on her back with her fingers. Probably understanding the purpose of this party, even she felt it was rude.
“…… Hmm.”
I replied without any sincerity. Having done the toning of my expression, the smile that vaguely appeared on my face was long overdue.
“Wow, great!
Hearing Aris’ words, Mrs. Dorthea clapped her hands and said
“Duchess, Aris-sama felt very sorry that she didn’t get to see the Duchess yesterday.”
“Since you’ve already brought the stone bow, please show it off, okay?
“Still wearing just the right clothes.” Kailin said.
“As a matter of fact, I received a very large bear doll as a birthday present not too long ago. I brought something to show the people attending the tea party today, and it would be just right to use it as a target.”
“Oh, Miss Kaylin! What if there are holes in the precious gift?”
“How could such a thing happen when it’s much smaller than yesterday’s devil?”
“Oh, that’s quite true. It might be.”
The noblewoman giggled as she gently fanned herself again.
“Bring the prepared ones.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Without listening to me, Kailin started decorating the stage at random.
Ah! Is even the target ready?
I wanted to see how far it would go, and backed it hard on my backbone, watching it silently. Gradually I became interested in my own arrogant attitude.
After a short while, a very handsome maid waddled over with a bear doll only as big as her torso.
Then standing a little away from Kailin, she asked.
“Where would be a good place to put the target, miss? “
“Which way do you think is best? I think this is a better distance.”
Kailin pointed at the squire standing there with an expression that desperately tried to hold back a laugh.
“With the proximity, the danger of nearly using someone like last year is lessened. Isn’t that right, everyone?”
At her question, the women nodded in agreement
“Kailin-sama is right, that would be more appropriate. …Far better to prevent the scourge of blindness.”
“If you shoot wrong, something big can happen.
“Get up and see our handiwork, Princess” Wow, so much to look forward to!
Aris clapped her hands tightly like a child. Mistaking the young girl’s greasy, oily eyes for curiosity just now gave me chills.
Curiosity is curiosity.
It’s like watching a chimpanzee in a zoo or a theatergoer performing stunts.
Since it was the first time I utilized her as a trustee, her atmosphere made it hard for me to say anything. There was no need to look back either. Because everyone was looking at me with mischievous eyes similar to Alys’.
Therefore, I stared at the masterminds who encouraged the nobles to plot this position. Looking at me whose expression disappeared, she had a deep smile on her lips.
(Make a fool of yourself like last year!) The look of contempt and joy seems to be saying to me.
Penelope in the game had two choices. Either act as an entertainer, as he wishes, or say furiously, as he did last year, “Watch me kill you.”
-If one does choose, it’s just a tiresome choice!
It’s not hard to show archery prowess, as they wish. But it will surely be a stone’s throw tomorrow at the banquet held by the public ladies.
But she angrily asked me how I dared to taunt me ……
Again, it’s going to be public opinion, forced sympathy, a circle of prey.
Maybe what Kaylin wants is to want to get through this. If it doesn’t make a comeback for the hated male female to completely trample her in the social world, so much the better.
It makes no difference which side of the fence she chooses. I’ll just choose both, then.
Seeing that I hadn’t moved from my hand-holding position, Kailin nodded slightly and called to me.
“Male daughter?”
I look at her and suddenly puff out a laugh.
“Dolls seem to be a bit difficult, huh?”
“…?”
My answer left her at a loss for words for a moment. The male female who was expected to scream strangely was quiet.
“For, why?
“Unfortunately, I’m not strong enough.”
I squinted at the bear toy, which slipped softly.
“Geez! Mrs. Dorthea interjects flippantly.
“So just how big does it have to be to see the strength of a male female? “
“Do you need a target the size of a horse stud?”
With the support of the others, the blue hair hanging over her shoulders murmured.
“What then, male daughter?” Even after asking around, there didn’t seem to be any craftsmen who made puppets that big.
“Oh ho ho, well. Too bad!
Laughter somehow popped up when I heard that.

I ignored the fools and shuffled uncomfortably out of my seat. Then with gentle, strong hands, I carried the stone bow forward.
All it takes is for your initiative to cooperate a bit with the flies flying around nearby, and there will be rumors about failure.
“What does everyone think?”
I looked down and around. The laughter of the women who had been giggling before that faded away.
No one expected me to target Ms. Kailin right off the bat.
There was no forewarning of it. The nobles who realized the situation later, including Kailin, began to close their eyes. One of them was an elderly noblewoman who fanned herself catty.
“Hey, Duchess Eckhardt! Ugh, what’s going on with you. It’s time to compare yourself to someone again…”
“Duchess?” I interrupted the woman coldly. And, it was like looking at something of no value.
“Since when has Eckhardt’s name been randomly on the lips of old women you don’t know?”
The words were humiliating even to the unrecognizable, and the noblewoman’s face flamed.
But no longer dared to rebel against me. For within the tea party, one may be respected for one’s age, but the empire is thoroughly classist.
In the noisy woods where the tea party had been held, an unanticipated silence descended.
“Calm yourself, ma’am.”
Miss Kellen chattered with a more composed expression than one might expect.
“If this happens often enough, we’ll have to call in the guards like last time. Then will the situation become difficult for the male daughter as well?”
It’s provocation. Trying to put me in a daze.
In the clearing next to the woods where the tea party was held, guards were stationed. Last year’s Pepilop, without even knowing this, ran wildly while screaming with the stone palace, which was surprising even without looking at it. The riotous guards would be rushing in soon. It’s not hard to guess that the reason for her sudden reduction in weapons is for threat and self-defense.
I, who was learning the stone bow at speed, had the epiphany that this body has no talent for martial arts at all If only I knew how to use a little bit of bow and arrow, I wouldn’t have smooth fingers and all the muscles in my arms like I do now.
‘Silly girl’
Why don’t you know the truth that you can easily put it down if you use your brain a little bit?
Despite lifting my muscles, my quiet look caused a hint of uneasiness to creep into the woman’s face.
This time it won’t pass as easily as last year. So I took my bow down ……॥
“You can go call it.” I puffed again, emptying the corners of my mouth and nuzzling forward.
The women were shocked by this reaction of mine.
-Villainous Acts Stormy, the original stormy hole woman called her own personal guards to
Perhaps because of the incredulity felt, the blue hair looked at me once again with eyes full of rawness.
“But ……”
I seemed to know nothing about it and cocked my head slightly with an innocent smile.
Would it be faster to call in the guards, or to pack the things I was moving around with?
