Recruitment commercial, and trouble
☆
I was so embarrassed that I hid my head in my poncho.
But during that time, the video kept mercilessly playing, with the me on screen trying her best to spread her charms.
『Currently, the Ainsworth Magic Tool Workshop is holding a big, big, BIG recruitment for people willing to make magic tools with us!』
『If you’re motivated, age, experience, and gender are not required at all. And for beginners, the veteran craftsmen will gently and carefully teach you from scratch.』
『The place of work is either the Owleyes Marquisate, or the Ainsworth County, and if you prefer, you can also stay in a dormitory for employees with meals included.』
『For more information, please head to the Ainsworth Magic Tool Workshop or the Royal Capital Magic Tool Workshop in the workshop district!』
『Let’s all make magic tools together in the future! I’ll be waiting for many applications!!』
The me on screen smiled and waved her hand, after which the footage ended.
The next moment———
““OOOooooooooohhhhhhh!!!!””
Cheers and applause echoed throughout the surroundings.
The crowds of people who had apparently come expressly to see my commercial began excitedly discussing the video just now.
“Woah, that was amazing!”
“I came to see it because of rumours at the academy, but it far exceeded my expectations.”
“I wonder how they did that flying in the sky?”
“I heard Leticia-sama also flew during the incident the other day, so I guess that must be the same thing.”
——— nice guess, but that’s not it.
The aerial shot was taken from a camera suspended from Coco and Mel, who I guided myself while recording.
“No, but really, that was so wonderful!”
“Yeah, you can only imagine what kind of technology it must’ve taken.”
“Not that. I’m talking about Miss Leticia! I saw her picture printed in the newspaper, but seeing her like this, she’s much cuter than that picture.”
——— What?!
“Well, it’s not like I don’t know what you mean, I guess.”
“You see, I’m actually a fan of Leticia-sama’s. Since there’s plenty of other’s who like this kid, we should probably make a fan club.”
“Oh, then I’ll also join!”
“Add me in.”
“Ah, me too.”
“I want to invite Hubert-kun, who adores his little sister so much, as a special member…”
“That’s a good idea! Let’s immediately make the membership cards!!”
——— Huuuuuhhh?!
Somehow, something absurd just happened!?
And it also involves Hugh-nii-sama!!
As I trembled in fear while hidden in my poncho, Theo tapped my shoulder from beside me.
“You’re quite popular, huh, Letty.”
“Ugh, stop saying it like it’s someone else’s problem!”
“If your elder brother is a special member, then I’ll be an honorary member.”
“Huh?”
“So, that thing just now, could you print it for me?”
“Absolutely, not!!”
Declaring this to Theo, I headed to the carriage, fuming angry.
That recruitment commercial was a video that I had no choice but to make after Otou-sama’s earnest requesting.
The photo posters alone weren’t enough to gather people, so with the cooperation of Godwin, I somehow developed a film projector that could continuously project images along with synchronised sound.
And then, at the strong urging of Otou-sama and Anna, as well as my brothers, I made a recruitment commercial in which I myself performed.
——— Even though I was so embarrassed to perform, it’s far too cruel to make fun of me!!
“Eh-, wha-, wait Letty!”
Theo hurriedly rushes after me from behind.
“I don’t want to talk to you for the rest of the day!!”
I turned around and shouted that at him, and quickly got into the carriage.
☆
The next day, and the day after that, and then the after that as well, Theo had delegation inspections and other events, so we didn’t meet up.
However, handwritten apology letters were delivered each day, conveying his sincere remorse.
And then on the fourth day.
The day we would join up in the royal capital, and head off for a tour of the Owleyes territory.
Having finished my preparations to head out, I picked up the gift box placed atop the desk.
“Who is that gift for?”
I asked a servant who was proud of her wrapping skills to wrap the box for me.
Anna then asked me this as I held the box in my hand.
By the way, although she only managed to arrive here yesterday, she got the five-day journey by carriage shortened to two days by riding on horse-back to catch up with me.
As usual, her love is heavy.
Be that as it may, I turned around and answered her question.
“I’m thinking of giving it to Theo.”
The moment I said so, my attendant grimaced with an expression of unconcealed disgust.
“You don’t have to go that far… he should be grateful just for the fact that Ojou-sama went out of her way to come here.”
Anna’s hate for Theo is as usual.
My gaze dropped to the box in my hands.
“Well, it’s… a bit of a sign of reconciliation, I guess.”
Thinking back on that day, Theo volunteered to help with the shop’s congestion of his own free will.
In the position of a prince of a country, and a delegation guest too.
Back then I thought 『he’s making fun of me』, but I tried thinking back on it, and that may not have been his intention.
If so, why’d he say that?
I don’t really understand.
In any case, Theo apologised by letter each day after that, and I also didn’t want to spend the journey to the main territory awkwardly with him.
So, as a sign of reconciliation, I decided to give him a handmade practical magic tool.
“Well then, shall we go?”
“Yes, Ojou-sama.”
It happened then, just as we said those words and had exited the room.
“Ojou-sama.”
A voice called out to me from the other side of the corridor.
Turning around, the butler Brandon walked this way at a quick pace looking panicked for some reason.
Having walked to where we were, he held out a paper that looked like some kind of memo.
“I’m sorry for calling out to you to stop, Ojou-sama. Just a moment ago, urgent magic communications came from the County, so please confirm.”
“… urgent?”
Bewildered by the suddenness of it, I took the memo, and confirmed its contents.
『URGENT
LARGE GROUP OF MONSTERS SPOTTED IN THE NORTHERN REGION
EVACUATION ORDERS SENT
REQUESTING FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS ——— SOFIA』

Finally, I’m back!… now to get back into the habit of translating regularly.
