Chapter 31 - Viva☆Fighting Scene (1/2)
Ch.31 Viva☆Fighting Scene
Politely sending out the Duke, today is a day in a long time without a Master shift!
When the last time I was able eat a [simple] meal for dinner? I am happy and end up grinning!
With a light skipping-like gait I arrive at the servant dining room. In there is a smiling Dahlia lying in wait with a super valuable medicine soup in hand.
“Mistress, please drink this before the meal”
*smile* Today’s smile is extraordinarily scary.
“Yes! I will drink!”
I accepted it immediately but, the good feeling is muddled. It seems somehow extremely effective~ I have to be resolved. If I do not drink this there will be no meal!
*gulp gulp gulp*~! Phuahh~! With hand on hip I chug it down, women are courageous. Nevertheless it has been devised to be easily drunk, I can feel Dahlia’s regard for me. I’m grateful.
After that, it is dinner with the maids after such a long time. Today’s meal is Lovens’ local cuisine, Lovens-style tourte [T/N: Pie]. Inside the round pie is vegetables cooked together with tomato paste and it is a fully healthy gem.
I am enjoying eating while the maids are make a din but, unexpectedly, wondering if forcibly sending the Duke away to the detached building was bad, I unusually end up remembering the Duke. It seemed like he was worried about me at the time, even though the same thing is impossible. Even if it was as little as taking part, it would be good. However, over there is his beloved sweetheart so, someone like me should stay out it. Yeah, that is my conclusion
“What happened? Is the state of your stomach unwell again?”
Mimosa looks, with a worried looking face at me who has somewhat fallen into silence.
“No no. Thanks also to the royal palace purveyor’s appreciated medicinal plants I am already okay! The simple meal after a long time is delicious and I was engrossed in deep emotion! Aha!
*grin* let’s falsify.
“Yes! It is extremely delicious~!”
Mimosa also undauntedly grins. Uh huh. It seems I have perfectly lied.
And then the next morning.
I am eating breakfast in the servant dining room as usual when,
“Mistress, the Dukd has come here”
Dahlia came to call me in hot confusion,
“Huh?”
“He is at the entrance”
“huuuuh?!”
If it were ‘as usual’, the Duke would go out straight from the detached building without visiting the main residence but, for today only what is to be done? I mean, I am, in the servant uniform!! No, I should be glad he did not return immediately to my empty room!
“Please wear this, it should be camouflaging”
Saying this she hung a large stole from my shoulders. If it is firmly held together at the front you will not know there is a servant uniform. Nice follow! Dahlia!
With a ‘just a moment ago I left my room~’-like face, I hurry to the Duke’s location.
“I have kept you waiting. Good Morning”
Looking at me who ran up in a hurry,
“Good morning. How is your health this morning?”
Looking at the obviously healthy me, the Duke eyes loosen with relief. It seems he has not noticed the servant uniform. Safe!
“Thanks to the medicines I ate, I am completely recovered”
They were effective, and that rich medicinal soup was the final blow. I remember that flavour, so please pardon momentary bitter countenance.
“That is good. I will report it to their Majesties”
“No, that……”
Such things as the situation of a retainer’ wife’s stomach-ache, their Majesties probably do not want to hear!
“Well, setting that aside. Today I will also return home ahead of the time so, please do not overdo it too much”
“Huh?! ……no, ye, yes. Understood”
I am momentarily surprised and my eyes widen but, I stood firm! It is probably awkward but a smile should be being seen.
“Well then, I’m off”
“““Have a good day”””
ばたむ。[T/N: “batamu” a author’s word that is untranslatable, honestly no idea what it means]
“……the Duke, I wonder what he wanted to do?”
I mutter after the Duke leaves while staring at the entrance way door.
“He is probably worried about Mistress”
“Yeah, well, right. That Only was heard. But I wonder what kind of curious turn of events is this?
