The party at the school had adjourned safely and I could finally relax at the place where I stayed.
A lot of the elderly of aristocrats, for some reason, were fans and friends of ojii-sama. A Marquis and his wife who lived at the capital city willingly accepted my lodging that ojii-sama requested.
By the way, the traffic jam that Angela created seemed to have been resolved after a while. Truly, she was an annoying villainess character.
I was currently struggling with face packs and muscle training for the event held at the palace the next day.
As a thank you for the Marquis and his wife, and as bribes that were to be spread in the royal palace, I brought a lot of soaps and cosmetics with me. I hoped that a good engagement proposal would come due to this.
(Well then, I should go to sleep early. It's not good for the skin if I stay up late at night.)
Listed in my past life's magazine was a tip saying that from 10 p.m. to 2 o' clock (TN: I don't know whether it's a.m. or p.m.) of the next day, it was easy for hormones to prompt skin regeneration. After that, the theory was that it was good at any time after three or four hours of sleeping, but I did not know which one was true. Since I had died and transmigrated to this world, there was no way for me to confirm.
Then in the blink of eye, I was woken up by my maid Maria.
[Britney-sama, please wake up! I have to prepare you for the castle's event!]
[U-n, I'm getting up now.]
I was dressed in time and make-up was applied, and a beautiful girl was created.
I mimicked the appearance of the grown-up version of the portrait for my engagement today too.
[Waa, Britney-sama, you are beautiful today too. I hope you can get a good fiancé.]
[Thank you, Maria. I'll do my best.]
I raised my fighting spirit, got on the carriage and headed to the castle.
In the castle, I planned to join my friend Nora, so we would be together.
To avoid being involved with the villainess Angela, it was necessary for me to participate in the event to secure a fiancé candidate while keeping in mind to avoid Prince Lucas.
[But what is the event?]
The crown prince Marlow said that "whatever that comes out will be fun" in his letter.
I lined up in a row with the other participants and headed to the hall that seemed to be the venue for the entertainment…
(What is this-!)
In the large venue, it was crowded with people who wore masks with artistic designs of animals, and it became like a disguise competition.
(Lion, monkey, tiger, horse, cat, rabbit… what the heck is going on?)
When entering the hall, we were given the same masks from the chamberlain standing on the corner of the reception hall who said "please go this way".
The mask handed didn't seem fixed, it was given at random.
(Well, what kind of animal is my mask?)
I looked at the surface of the mask I obtained… as I thought, it was a white pig.
(Even if it's at random, what's with this coincident pull…)
Britney seemed to be unable to escape the fate of being a white pig girl, even in an event that's not related to the manga.
(To think that the mask that's given to a delicate young lady is that of a white pig. Such a devilish event.)
Although the design of the mask itself was cute, it wouldn't be wrong that it aroused complicated feelings.
Wearing the mask of white pig with floral patterns, I walked around the venue. Nora was supposed to be here too.
I was planning to meet her here.
(No way, I didn't expect that we would wear a mask. Since she's Nora, I should be able to find her quickly since she's tall.)
Squirming among the people while using people's height as a landmark, I headed towards the young lady.
(Since I'm not fat anymore, I won't be looked as an obstacle with cold eyes…!)
The mask was a white pig, but the body had become slim. The difference compared to the previous party stood out and I felt a little happy.
Standing relatively close was a tall lady wearing champagne gold dress and a bird mask.
(…She looks like her, is she Nora?)
While being confused on whether to call out to her or not, the woman spoke to a nearby person.
[Ano, are you Britney from Hakusu Earldom?]
She talked to a black-haired woman with an elephant mask… she was a fat woman.
(Nora, you're wrong. That's not the right person…)
TN: Bad Nora, you're a bad friend. To think that you mistook a fat woman for our slim Britney.
