Towards the Founding Festival

* The Order of the Academy council room is as spacious as an elementary school classroom of modern Japan.
	+ Office desk and chairs are set up with bookshelves lining the walls with documents and manuals.
	+ Lorec-sama sits in a modest chair but recognized as a seat of honor.
	+ The princes sit on other, inferably close, seats of honor.
		- This reinforces the idea of nobility.
		- Rei is hated for being able to sit next to Claire.
* The Founding Festival is an event commemorating the Royal Academy.
	+ It is similar to the school festival of Japanese schools.
		- Each classroom must have a program to entertain visitors.
	+ This is represented in-game with contests.
* Lorec-sama assigns tasks to the Order members when Rodd asks if the Order itself will host an event.
	+ Typically, it is a café but Rodd finds that boring.
		- Yuu shows interest while Sein found it troublesome to deviate.
	+ Rodd suggests a gender-reversal themed café.
		- Misha is the first to ask what this is.
* Gender-reversal cafes according to Rodd:
	+ Men dress like women, women like men, and we wait on the tables like that.
	+ Although only the clothes are different it is a lot more interesting than normal.
	+ Claire asks if Rodd will be allowed to cross-dress.
		- Rodd answers yes as long as he can maintain anonymity
		- Claire responds that she's okay with women dressing as men but seems uncertain about the other way around.
			* She's conflicted but reconsiders when seeing assessing how pretty each prince is.
* First formal introduction of Lambert Orso.
	+ The eldest son of the Orso Company.
		- Lene's elder brother.
	+ Entered the academy as a scholarship student.
	+ Vice-leader of the Order of the Academy.
	+ Specifically adept at inventing and adjusting magical tools.
		- Can infer he was in charge of the magical tool that allowed the mock battles to occur.
	+ Currently working on a magical tool to control monsters.
		- In this world, he is a minor celebrity.
		- Had he been a noble, he would have been the leader of the Order.
* Rei appraises how Lorec-sama would look in gender reversed attire.
	+ She admits that while he is handsome, it's a different kind of handsome that would not work well with him.
	+ Rodd ignores Lorec-sama and believes everyone else is in agreement.
		- Sein and Misha both have reservations.
		- Claire immediately votes against when she hears Rei admiring a gender reversed Claire.
		- Lorec-sama is against it as well but Lambert-sama ends up consoling him.
* The official name of the Order of the Academy is Cavalier.
	+ According to Lambert-sama, nobody uses it anymore because it sounds exaggerated.
	+ The difference in name is likened to the subtle differences between the words used.
		- Example: Rash and Carefree.
		- Lambert-sama is slightly resentful at Rei's comparison but concedes it is technically correct.
* Rei makes a pun on Claire being a lady of Cavalier meaning she is a Cabaret Girl.
	+ Claire doesn't understand but automatically assumes it not to be a compliment or appropriate.
	+ In this world, there are no cabarets.
	+ Rei suggests Claire do her hair in a spread updo.
		- Claire is convinced because of the idea of it being special.
* Rei and Lene take time after the meeting to fix Claire's hair.
	+ Lene is into it and asks questions during the process.
	+ Claire's hair also keeps her trademark vertical drills.
	+ Claire ends up enjoying the new hairstyle.
* Rei never gives a complete explanation of Cabaret Girl but Claire feels pride from her praise.
* Lene asks that Claire keep the new hairstyle but begrudgingly asks for her regular hairstyle.
	+ Rei describes how the winding curls are the influence of her late mother's hairstyle.
		- Claire always imitated it.
		- Rei remarks that Claire had a tiny bit of a mother complex, in its original meaning.
* As Rei leaves Claire in her room, she cheers that she looks forward to seeing Claire as a man.
	+ As they flirt, Claire responds by dismissing her brusquely.
