“Shailene, next time you need financial help, just let me know. You’ve proven to be a valuable investment.”
Instead of saying thank you right away, I said it after a bit of hesitation.
“I feel like you trust me too easily… … I really appreciate it, but please wait a little longer.”
“What kind of person am I?” he added with a grin.
This would give the impression of being simple and humble rather than just accepting the ball’s offer.
The ball looked a little surprised, then nodded.
“Okay, I understand.”
“Then I’ll be going now.”
I bowed my head politely and went out, feeling proud.
‘Wow, how humble of you. Maybe that was kind of cool?’
It was when I was walking down the hallway with a light heart and steps.
– Tiring!
【A new mission has occurred!】
The system window lit up.
【Mission: Late-Blooming Debutante~ Is it possible for a debutante to have a second chance?~
The young ladies of the Herzen Empire make their debutante appearance in the capital at the age of sixteen.
but!
You, who are like Cinderella, were unfortunately unable to attend due to financial issues and had to make do with the money at your estate.
Now, debut in the capital’s social circle and show off your presence as a heroine! (。•̀ᴗ-)✧
Deadline: One month
Success Conditions: Accompany Deborah Dyatt to a party of Duke level or higher.
Penalty for failure: You cannot meet any male lead candidates for one quarter.】
This mission wasn’t terribly difficult.
The problem was the success conditions and the penalty for failure.
‘No, how can I party with Deborah Diat!’
He asked me if I would go with him.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have teased you the last time we met.
What would happen if you suddenly asked a guy with spines like a hedgehog to go to a party with you?
‘I’m sure he’ll just ignore me coldly… … .’
Deborah’s sharp eyes looking at me came back to me vividly.
Just thinking about it makes me want to skip this mission, but the problem is that if I fail, I won’t be able to see the male protagonist for a quarter.
It was said that clearing the final mission would be delayed by at least three months.
‘… … If it turns out like this, there’s nothing I can do.’
I decided that I wanted to escape this world as quickly as possible, no matter what.
From now on, I’m going to film ‘We Got Friend’ with Deborah.
4. The magic is too much
Who is Deborah Dyatt?
People’s answers to this question varied.
“Young lady, you are a very delicate and picky person. So I try my best not to make mistakes in front of you.”
Anna’s response, who has been working at the Diat Duke’s office for just over a year.
“She’s not as hard to serve as I thought. However, when our eyes met once, her gaze was so cold that I immediately looked down… … .”
The answer from Jack, a stable keeper who has worked at the Duke of Diat’s for about ten years.
“Your Majesty passed away when you were very young. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes… … Oh. She was such a pitiful and heartbreaking person.”
The answer from Emma, the head maid, who was personally hired by the late former Duchess.
Among them, the ones who gave me useful information were Paul and Dane.
“Miss Deborah has been interested in magic since she was little. However, the Duke was not keen on learning magic.”
“My father and grandfather were kind of like that. They raised me rough and harsh, but they were overprotective of Dev. That’s why they were so strongly against me joining Matap.”
If we synthesize what the two people said, we can reach one conclusion.
Deborah loved magic and wanted to enter the magic tower, but failed due to opposition from her family.
With these facts in mind, I approached Deborah.
“Hello, Deborah.”
Deborah, who had been reading absentmindedly in the garden, belatedly noticed my presence and frowned.
“……what.”
Aren’t you being too blatant about your dislike?
She picked up her books and stood up with a look of annoyance on her face. She quickly pretended not to notice before she left completely.
“Wait a minute, isn’t that a magic book?”
“… … .”
Deborah stopped in her tracks, flinching, as if she couldn’t just pass over magic.
“Honestly, I’m not interested in magic. But I wanted to get to know you, so I looked into it. Do you want to talk about magic with me?”
“no.”
Even though I smiled as kindly as I could, Deborah flatly refused.
Even though the face that turned around was angry, it looked like a puppy. Maybe it was because the eyes were so innocently drooping.
“And don’t talk to me or pretend to know me because it’s annoying.”
Deborah, who had shot sharply, quickly disappeared.

Left alone, I thought.
‘What should I say, it looks like a Chihuahua.’
Big eyes, a nice build, and cute looks, but a fierce personality.
‘How did you know I like animals too?’
I tried to keep a positive attitude, because I had to get to the party with Deborah somehow.
The next day, I went to see Deborah again.
Today again she was reading a magic book in the garden.
I wandered around as if I was looking at flowers and then casually struck up a conversation.
“Hello, Diat Youngae.”
“… … .”
Deborah looked at me silently, her brows narrowed.
I smiled brightly, pointing to the clear sky.
“The weather is really nice today.”
“… …What are you doing now?”
“Huh? What is it?”
Deborah frowned as I tilted my head, pretending not to know.
Oh my.
“I don’t like pretending to know, so I’m pretending not to know to accommodate you.”
“… … Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?”
“Are we close enough to joke around already? Wow, things are progressing faster than I thought.”
I sat down across from Deborah, smiling brightly.
Deborah stood up, her hands shaking as if she was going to throw the book at me at any moment.
I opened my mouth calmly.
“Don’t go, Young-ae. I’ll keep chasing after you and talking to you tomorrow, the day after, and the day after that.”
“… … .”
“Let’s talk here and now without wasting our energy.”
Deborah, her pretty face crumpled, finally sat down again.
Her bright golden hair, flowing like waves, matched well with her round, deep green eyes.
Even the fingers that tucked the hair behind her ears were thin and delicate.
“Stop acting like this and tell me what you want to talk about so much.”
He moved his hand as if to calm her down, as she raised her spines like a hedgehog.
Whoa, whoa.
But the sharp gaze didn’t soften at all. So I just went out honestly.
“I’ll get straight to the point. Let’s make a deal.”
“What’s the deal?”
“You were trying to secretly make a million gold emergency fund with stocks, right?”
“… … !”
Deborah’s shoulders visibly flinched as if she had been unexpectedly struck dead on.
I said with a smile, as if I knew it.
“That emergency fund was probably the cost of joining the Matap.”
“You! Yes, how did you do that… …!”
Deborah, who was pale, jumped up from her seat.
Haha, how did you know?
‘I really enjoyed reading the newspaper as my servant said, man.’
While studying stocks, I went back through old newspapers and happened to read an article.
The small article on the back of the newspaper briefly described how a man named John Dudley came to work at the Tower and how he was eventually fired.
He was specially hired by donating 1 million gold, but he was fired because he was bad at his job and got labeled by the Magic Tower Master.
That’s where I knew.
Oh, even though it’s an unfair admission, you can enter the Magic Tower if you donate about 1 million gold.
And this is why Deborah was trying to collect 1 million gold.
“How much have you collected so far?”
“… …Why should I tell you that?”
“Honestly, you didn’t save much, did you? Because you kept failing at stocks?”
“Oh, no!? But I still collected 600,000 gold!”
Oh, I collected more than I thought.
I didn’t know it would be more than half, but thanks to that, what I’m going to say next feels a little lighter.
“I’ll give you the remaining 400,000 gold. I’ll help you enter the Magic Tower, so just join me for one party.”
I thought the mission would take too long if I went the regular route, so I resorted to a trick of my own.
If I had 1 million gold in total assets and spent 400,000 of that, it wouldn’t be so bad.
Because you can reinvest the remaining money or something and make money again.
“… …Why would you do that? What good would it do for you to go to the party with me?”
Deborah, who had been looking at me blankly, soon began to show her doubts.
I shrugged my shoulders and made an excuse calmly.
