Younger brother….. I’m finally a sister! I have always been a loner in every world, but now to think that the day will actually come when I will finally be called ‘sister’. Finally I could 120% understand what Fer’s feelings are!
“A -Anyway…….”
When I tried to uproot the good-luck “Kogyoku” and exterminate all the dangerous creatures in the area such that they can come back to harvest for more, Min who is an animal lover and an environmentalist scolded me shrilly.
She said that if I were to change the ecosystem, the apples would be devoured by ordinary small animals and critters in a matter of seconds.
“Yurushia-sama, sorry to keep you waiting.”
While they were doing this, Noah and Geass returned with a captured military carriage. A large two-horse, eight-seater. As what can be expected from a military carriage, the ride does not look that comfortable. However, with this carriage and Fer’s carriage, all of us can now finally relax our legs and just enjoy the ride.
If possible, we should give Onza and Geass a break now. Otherwise, they would not be able to maintain their human form by the time we get to our destination. ……..Incidentally, Noah and Geass didn’t tell us what happened to the soldiers who were robbed of their carriages, but I could pretty much imagine what happened to them.
We’ll need to move quickly. My brother, whom I have not seen yet, is waiting for me.
About the rebellion…? Well, honestly, I think seeing my brother and my mother is a bigger priority.
I tried to pull Fer or Min into the carriage I’m going to ride and interrogate them for my brother’s name and how Vio was doing. However both Fer and Min refused to do so, wanting me to hear it in person from them.
The talkative Sarah, who seemed to be aware of the situation, quickly escaped and took her place in the driver’s seat on the other side of the carriage.
Now that I’ve calmed down my head a bit, I’m not going to be in a hurry and run off again.
The family is currently staying at Viscount Carrow’s residence. I wondered if the house wasn’t such an obvious place to hide in and why didn’t they just obtain a villa somewhere on the outskirts of the city instead. They then explained that if such an unknown place was to be heavily guarded, the rebels would find out effortlessly. It took Fer and the others two days by carriage to get here from the Viscount’s house in such circumstances.
This is, well, we’re relying on a basic map and a local’s story, but according to it, if we hurry and spend less time resting, we’ll be able to get there before sunrise tomorrow.
We can force ourselves to march onwards without staying overnight in a village on the way and we don’t need sleep or human food, but Fer and the other two can’t do that. That’s why Nia went out to hunt and captured a deer-like animal from the woods which I quickly made into soup. I then went for a nap with the maids in the big carriage.
“Yuru-sama….. I’m really glad you’re back. Vio had actually said that she wouldn’t have children until Yuru-sama returned….”
“I won’t blame her for giving birth to a baby you know…..”
“Right now, Vio is doing her best not to give birth until Yuru-sama returns!”
“She shouldn’t try so hard……”
We left early the next morning and finally arrived at the Viscount’s house in the early afternoon. If this is the Verusenia family’s house, I would have felt extremely excited and happy since I’ve finally come home, but right now, for some reasons, I’m not particularly impressed.
It was a pretty hard march. Although it’s no surprise that we were okay, Fer, the other two ladies, and the horses were looking drained and limp.
“Princess!”
A woman who had quickly rushed at our arrival. She shouted in surprise and emerged from behind the Viscount’s servant.
“Long time no see, Bri.”
No pun intended. (Note : in the raw it’s written : ブリちゃん久しぶり～ {Buri-chan hisashiburi~} so….. you know buri and buri)
This is Bridgette, the captain of my personal female escort group.
“When did you return? Why didn’t you come back for two years! Why did you leave us? If only the princess were here…….. Huwaaaaaaaaaaaaa”
“Eeeeeehhhhhhhh?”
Why did you start crying all of a sudden! That’s right……Well that’s true.You were my knight escort and I left you behind. You missed me dearly, didn’t you?
When I gently pull Bri-chan into a hug, a teary-eyed Sarah also comes to cling to me from the side.
“Anyway, hurry up and introduce us to a man already!”
“Wait a minute, you….”
What a thing to say. The girls were crying snot and tears just now, and now right after they feel relieved that I had returned, they shamelessly ask me to hurry up and introduce them to a man. Well, the girls are approaching their mid-twenties, so I can understand why they are kind of anxious. In this world, aristocratic ladies cannot not be married by the time they reach twenty years old. But If it was a commoner lady then even if they didn’t get married by 25, she won’t be told anything.
If it were Earth, I wouldn’t even be old enough to marry and I wouldn’t be in a hurry or think about the matter at all…. But wait. I think I was the one who brought up this whole Vio thing, but I think I just left it to the other servants to find her.
“Are the ladies-in-waiting here too?”
“No, the lady-in-waiting and the chief steward remained in the Royal Palace to accompany and help the duke…”
“………..Is that so?”
It seems that all the old people and the men in the family remained in the royal capital and the Thule territory, while everyone else including the mothers, the children, and the young women were evacuated.
“……….Fine, I’ll help you search for a man.”
“Please!”
After that short intercession, Bri-chan led us into the mansion. The servants had gone in first before us, they must have hurried to inform mother and Viscount Carrow. On the way there, I had a conversation with her and she mentioned that about half of the female escort knights had retired in the past two years, and now there were only eight of them left, including Bri and Sarah. That means that the remaining kids may not even have a boyfriend, and I may have to find a groom for all of them.
We continued down the corridor in a vaguely excited mood and soon arrived at a gorgeous door.
“Yuru!”
“Mother!”
When we opened the door, we quickly ran to each other and we hugged each other tightly yearningly. Mother is still fluffy and smells good just like in my memories.
“I’m glad you’re back. I was worried about you.”
“I am sorry for making you worry…….. I am back.”
Well, people normally worried about me anyhow………
“Welcome back, Yuru-sama”
“Vio, I’m home.”
Vio was also present in the room. She’s wearing a maid’s uniform as usual, but her belly is now big enough to be obvious even from a distance.
