Chapter 27 - Together Again (2/2)

“Although, Master also maybe has some kind of intention, this point we have to wait and see”

“That’s right. Just as Dahlia said. ……fuaa~ today was tiring~ I wonder if I will be able to wake up tomorrow? Uaa, wait a sec, I wonder is breakfast going to be together with the Duke?”

Staying the night over here, means breakfast will be eaten here.

“I fear that is likely. Mistress what will you do?”

Dahlia nods.

“As I thought would not [eating] together be unpleasant [for him]?

There will probably [be times when] I oversleep or something like that?

“Well it should be okay if you do not do it together though……”

Dahlia smiles bitterly.

“……okay, uh huh. Together…… waaah, my meals~~~!! Even under normal circumstances I have been not getting my evening meal and have been sulky~! Dahlia~, can you please relay this to Carthame? Say I am looking forward to the lunch meal!”

Nevertheless thinking about ‘I wonder which region today’s meal is from~♪’ is my enjoyment! Moreover I regret from the bottom of my heart that the fun meal times sitting together with everybody have decreased!

“Yes, of course I will”

“Today it is already late. See you tomorrow”

My usual bedtime has passed by a long time ago. I am sorry for Dahlia, Mimosa, all the servants working overtime.

““Good night, Mistress””

“Goodnight”

The two people bow and leave the room.

Tomorrow not changing into a good wife style would be no good. Let’s be careful so as not to do my usual habit and change into the servant uniform!

But is She really fine? I am not concerned about the kind of state of affairs that around me, but I wish I am pardoned from the effects spreading to those seemingly uninvolved.

However today was tiring. Social events are things that shave off both physical and mental strength. Today’s evening party had Re-debut feeling. Me ‘The☆one left out of the loop’ who had experienced only a few  social events, my foundation is a wallflower, dancing and conversing I mostly did not do, so it was a human being observation paradise. However the situation has changed and I have become a person close to the focus and it is this tiring! Fuu, tired~……*sleeping peacefully*

I fell fast into a dreamless sleep, and when I recover consciousness it is the fresh morning. Even I am proud of myself for waking up properly.

Dahlia and Mimosa have not yet realized and come in, so like this I pull the futon over my head and indulge in inactivity, then after a short time there is a light knock sound and two people appear together.

““Good morning, Mistress””

“Morning”

While Dahlia hangs a stole on my scarf, Mimosa gleefully disappears into the clothing room [T/N: wardrobe]. Today because it is not the servant uniform it seems she is picking it out cheerfully.

“The Duke is?”

First of all I probably have to confirm. Thinking this I confirm with Dahlia and,

“Yes, he is eating breakfast here so I heard he is being served”

Looking at her calmly replying  without becoming confused or making a fuss, the Master shift probably already is taking place.

Is that so. Uh huh, I was not all expecting something like ‘he left early etc. and has already left~”?

“Understood. If the preparation is done let us go to the dining room””

While sitting in a chair in front of the dresser getting prepared, I reply to Dahlia in the mirror.

I finish preparing and go to the dining room, the Duke is seated at a place at the table.

“Good morning”

“Good morning”

The Duke is already wearing the knight’s uniform. I wonder when he had prepared a change of clothes for here? That dashing uniform, it seems to have the effect of making the Duke’s attractiveness stand out. Usually I only see him in the evenings, so  looking at him because of the bright morning sun and it seems different.

“Is something wrong?”

Before I know the Duke who is sitting down is inquiring of me. Danger danger. I staringly surveyed him too much! This is dodgier. I can not master the skill of looking up and down and yet it not looking like a ill-mannered gaze!

“No. It is nothing.”

*smile*. First of all smile and lie~. The skills that I have are something like this.

At the same time the Duke is seated, foods are carried in one by one.

That’s right ‘s’.

The Duke’s breakfast as usual is like a smorgasbord!
