[These blue roses are called Ondina.]
[So blue roses really exist?]
Even though I have no knowledge about flowers while on the sickbed, I know that it’s possible to cultivate blue roses on my previous life so I ended up voicing my question.
In addition, it seems that there was a successful example with the technology of recombining genes in the past world when searching for memory.
The flower bed that I saw for the first time are blooming beautifully in springy suns.h.i.+ne.
Just like the kuku fruit, there are a lot of food in this world which don’t exist in my previous life, but there are a lot of flowers which I have memory of in that life as well.
As I listen to the gardener’s explanations while looking at the flowers, the one that caught my attention the most was, as expected, the roses.
It was surprising to know that there’re a lot more various colors even among the roses. Not only pink or red but yellow and white, and also blue.
[No, blue ones were not found in the rose species. What is now called blue rose could be obtained by extracting red pigment from red rose……Rather, it refers to a variety that is close to purple. However, Sheryl-sama sure is knowledgeable, to know that blue rose doesn’t really exist.
I can’t say it. I can’t say that those are popular in my previous life.
I return the gardener’s words with a smile. Recently, I’ve discovered that “smile when in front of trouble tactic” is really useful.
[Purple color certainly has a slight tinge of blue, huh. So you removed the red pgment from them…?]
[Ah! You can’t just casually touch them! This variety has especially small and numerous thorns.]
[I’m sorry, I just…]
I hurriedly stopped my extended hand unconsciously.
Although the branches look thin and fragile, it seems that there is no mistake that it’s a rose.
[I will give Sheryl-sama a suggestion.]
[Nicole…]
While I was in the middle of thinking, Nicole said to me.
On my walking rehab, instead of the wheelchair, I had Nicole’s hands a.s.sisting me.
My hair has been cut up to the corner of my eyes. (TN:Must be the bangs.)
Even though my hair has lost all its pigments.
[Oh my,have you found out? When the topic about your hair has reached my ears, the first thought that came to mind are these Ondina. Although the lower leaves fall to such extent that they seem to wither even while being cared for, these roses are often filled with flowers…… Aah, even if it isn’t given a lot of care, it’s flowers still manages to bloom. It’s just that, although they easily get injured and are susceptible to diseases, is it considered their characteristics? We have nurtured them as if they’re Sheryl-sama.]
[It’s kind of embarra.s.sing being compared to a flower.]
[When I listened of those words just now, I have confirmed that they do resemble Sheryl-sama. Could we bring some to the room?]
[Of course! I will prune some and bring them later. Ondina also is very fragrant. In the language of flowers, it means “G.o.d’s blessing” and “dream come true”.]
[What a wonderful thing! For there to be such a flower who embodies Sheryl-sama so much!]
[Have you finally understood
The two men who seemed to understand each other shared a pa.s.sionate(burning?) handshake.
I’m begging you, please don’t call a guy beautiful in front of his face.
After that, while listening to the excited gardener’s explanations, I thoroughly enjoyed the colorful flowers.
[It should be about time for Bellom-sama to arrive.]
[It’s that time already? Well then, shall we go and meet him at the entrance?]
There will be an examination by Bellom-sensei this afternoon.
Although it’s called examinations, all he’s been talking about lately are regarding the magical studies and the like.
According to my knowledge form my previous life, Bellom-sensei will give me something strange.
[Well then, please sit on the wheelchair.]
[I can’t stay standing?]
[You may not. Because you have walked enough for today. Pus.h.i.+ng yourself too hard will be harmful.]
[Is that so…]
When it comes to my health, Nicole won’t budge an inch.
We gave thanks to the garden grandpa and let the flowerbeds behind.
Mother welcomes us upon entering the mansion.
[Sheryl, how were the flowerbeds?]
[They were very pretty, there’re also some cute flowers, I enjoyed it very much.]
[Is that so… Mother also wanted to see them with you… I could’ve also taught you about the language of flowers.]
[If madam had gone together, the time wouldn’t have been enough.]
It seems that if Mother starts looking at flowers, she’ll take a very long time because she really loves them.
Because they said I mustn’t get tired before bellom-sensei arrived, instead of a “doctor stop”, they gave me a “Nicole stop”. (TN: I’ve no idea how else to phrase this.)
[When we have the time, let’s see them together again, okay?]
[That’s right, you promise me, Sheryl. At that time, I will be pulling your hand.]
[….At that time, I would like to be able to walk by myself.]
However, with these feet of mine which have lost their strength, it will likely be a very long time before I’ll manage to stand properly.
Although they no longer tremble like a newborn fawn…
Moreover, upon witnessing such a scene, I feel like their overprotection has intensified. (TN: The trembling fawn thing.)
Even the maids start to fuss when they see a slight change to my eye color. Although it is Nicole’s job to tell them off.
On top of the wheelchair, as my eyes ended up staring at a distant place, I picked up Bellom-sensei’s Mana from my Mana sense.
Because Sensei’s Mana emission is greater than normal, it’s very easy to tell him apart from the rest. Although according to Sensei, the First Prince’s is more amazing. I guess there won’t be an opportunity to meet him. (TN: Even though your mother invited him?)
Finally, the sound of a horse carriage has entered everyone’s ears.
