Vol 2 Chapter 38 (1/2)

思惑~Speculations

Fairy: This is a long chapter with tons of plot! Enjoy the 2/5!

Morning, after breakfast at the dining rooathered in one of the rooms

I was invited to a meal by Francesca in the afternoon so I was quickly instructed not to depart for the unfamiliar streets

TheTil’s hair

「……And Til isn’t co？」

「No, I’m not Fro their own pockets, forgetting about their responsibilities,their citizen impoverished is their raison d’etre(reason of existence) Aren’t huusted with them」

「But Francesa herself has a noble at of that sort」

After finishi+ng cotails

By the way, am I her disciple?

or her maid?

「Nay, tis not I, from what thou sayeth, thy person thou describes is of noble bith? Lining thy pockets with riches not of thee, doing not they duty, for they raison d’etre to gift despair to those of cousted with!」

「However, today we are not particularly going to talk about politics」

It seeratitude for the other day

As it is grandiose, I thought of refusing but refusing the invitation from that kind of person is also rude

「Tis a girl with high-spirit, putting thought upon the reason of thy inviteSuch a maiden witnessed thy power and chose to use it as if her own, yes?」

「Yeah… After listening to Til’s words, I will probably develop a distrust of humans」

「Kufu, for sure」

I do have my own self awareness…

「Well good Dragon lass, do thou understand?」

「Yes, Oshi+shou-sama I will protect Alice-sama」

You are that worried about me??

Speaking of which, Ilya, in order to find out about the ongoing ru the streets and buy information from the information broker yesterday As expected, it seems that the current situation is pretty tense

Just like what the merchant Oji-san had said

The friction with the republic has bore fruit, or discrimination, which is the reason for the tense situation

As the republic is a country which insists on freedom and equality, it seems like one is able to choose the reasons as they like for their official stance

(ED: they pick a cause and fit the reasons behind it Think United States politics)

As I thought, the point is the beast tribes huh

Due to that, the extent of co the freedom in Western Republic to the discrimination faced in the royal capital made the beast tribes feel ashamed

Putting the cart before the horse is also a good thing i guess but that’s not a reason

(Ed: the cause of the friction is the discrimination, because of the friction there is discri prophecy” so to speak)

As Saira warily disguised herself with a hat yesterday, it seems like she did not receive any harassment

「However, wearing the hat… everywhere… is somehow or another suspicious」

I glanced at Saira who is still wearing her hat now

「About that, Ojou-sama From the money I was entrusted to, I had used it to purchase Saira’s hairband I think it’s somewhat necessary 」

After speaking, Ilya took out the wrapped item from the desk and passed it over to me

As the sae from yesterday

After breaking the gold coin, it becae amount of silvers and copper

To what extent did she go to persuade someone to write a handwritten memo

「I think you are too forward but…」

「Ilya… Magnificent!」

As expected, I want to hug her, carefully and gently

But due to the public gazes, I will not do it

「Saira, try using it?」

「YYes Is it okay?」

I peek at Ilya’s expression and timidly move closer to Saira

「Ara? I think it’s perfect for Saira ? i wish that you will try wearing it I chose it for you」

Ilya smiled kindly at her

She is really … kind?

Well, even if it is not said, we know that she is kind

But she is definitely mischievous

「Saira , will you stay put? I will tie it for you」

「Ye…Yes 」

Sparkling as she comes over, I unwrap and took out the hairband to tie her hair up

The tinge is a warht brown so the embroidery is cute

It’s a cloth type headband

If it’s attached, will be it become a turban?

(Ed: le down the neck/back rather than tying them up into the headband)

As it is wide, it substituted as a hat to cover Saira’s ears。

The appearance of her ponytail unexpectedly suits her

I can feel the girl power of Ilya!

「Ho How is it?」

「It suits you! You are cute!」

「Ehh, it fits you really well」

The headband substitute for the hat really fits her well

Different from the unfashi+onable hat used to cover her ears, it looks truly fashi+onable and it will not stick out like a sore thumb from the crowd

However, strictly speaking, wearing nothing and entering in naturally is the best option

In any case, with this, our preparation is done

「Well, shall we go? What about Til?」

「She is sleeping」

「Throughout the day!?」

Talking about it is useless

This is called living in luxury!

And I had just tied her hair up nicely!

「…Well , it’s okay So we are only left with the forht」

「Umu」

With three in a co loudly

「――Alice, do not be used」

「Eh?」

When I turned around, Til has completed slipped into the bed,

If I were to say as I thought it to be, it would be so, but…

Using the map received fronificent mansion

Or rather, the place we are noe can see everything else except the gate

When we pass the invitation letter from Francesca to the doorkeeper, it was immediately conveyed to her

TL: there is no subject it just says immediately conveyed

After being guided around the huge garden, we reach a chalk-colored building

The garden is being wellin the flowerbed

How to say, I have been invited to such an inappropriate place

Ilya’s usual calm atmosphere remain as it is

Saira followed close to me nervously

U else but imitate Ilya

For exa like a rabbit for now

「――Please wait for a while Likewise for Alice’s companions 」

Do note that these are servants talking They talk in a very polite tone

In the guest room is where Francesca is

But naturally, she is not wearing a sword now

Due to her figure in a sparkling dress, she immediately transforms into a noble from yesterday’s battle shoujo

「Fracesca Thank you for inviting me today Ahh, noo, Francesca -sama」

As I was being glared at by a supposedly expired butler, I corrected myself

Butler-ish

Excessively beautiful but for that reason, the gri

Ikemen ?

Is the butler a Ikemen?

「Alice, I had told you yesterday no? It’s okay to address me without any honorifics」

「Ye…yes」

Even if you are okay with it, it seems like there are many characters who do not think it’s nice, no?

「Alice」

「Fr…Francesca… sama」

The honorific, the honorific!

Francesca and the honorific!

That butler please by any means!!

With a glance that can kill people, looking at me!

「Muu! How old are you, Alice?」

Francesca who is puffing her cheeks inquired

「15 years old」

「Maa! I am also 15 years old desuwa~」

With a sparkling expression and rushi+ng into approaching ently restrained by the butler

「Hime-sama, the preparation for meals/lunch has been completed Please proceed to the table」

「Muu… if it’s that sort of pal」

With the exception of the person herself, I was not welcomed

… I a tired

It is a soiree which requires table manners

But, as for e, I did not say that this set-up is easy!

Regarding infor hard as I partake in the meal

Frankly, things such as taste is secondary

「How is it, Alice? Is it tasty?」

「Ye…Yes It is really tasty」

Each tihts and so on , I broke out in cold sweat

I a tired

I am not able to resist my respect for Illya’s prim and proper face

Her manners are also perfect

The problem is Saira

For soood When I look at her, she looks like she can’t bear to be here

「Saira, is that your na awaited lunch, if each and everyone of you enjoy it, it will be good 」

Francesca followed up so it’s was really helpful

Yeah, personally, as expected, this girl has a likeable personality, i guess

But the butler standing behind gave a twitch

Well, it’s preferred rather than being told about his unnecessary disagreement
