Chapter 45
45 To the Capital. No, I go there all the time…
*
“Mitsuha, we’ll head to the capital. Make preparations immediately.”
*
“Huh………”
*
*
*
Suddenly appearing at the Yamano Viscounty residence and saying so was the familiar Earl Boses. The Viscounty’s servants are no longer concerned by the sudden visits of the Boses family. Even when it’s the Earl himself.
*
Are they accustomed or do they think that “Mitsuhsama is even greater”…
*
*
*
“It’s the social season, and since the number of bandits hasn’t been reduced much yet, we’ll go to the capital together for safety”
*
“Eh, a year hasn’t pa.s.sed yet…”
*
“There are several social seasons in a year. There’s no reason it would be limited to once”
*
“Ehh, is that how it is!?”
*
Mitsuha was surprised by the Earl’s words because she thought it was definitely once a year.
*
*
*
“Um, right now, it’s an important time for the territory… I have to pa.s.s on this trip to the capital.”
*
“What are you saying! What are you going to do if you are absent during your first social season after becoming a n.o.ble? Even when everyone wants to talk with Mitsuha…….”
*
*
*
“No, that’s why I don’t want to”, thought Mitsuha.
*
However, that didn’t seem to draw any sympathy from the Earl.
*
*
*
“Even though this is why I said I’ll lend you a va.s.sal…… We’ll depart from the territory the day after tomorrow. If you don’t hurry up, Iris and Beatrice will come to pick you up”
*
“Eeh…….”
*
*
*
Apparently, it seems the Earl absolutely can’t back out either. Because of the hierarchy in the house.
*
However, it’s not possible to be away from the territory for a long period right now. It’s an important time.
*
She can come back as soon as she reaches the capital. It’s not like she’ll always be around the Earl and others. For the people here, it was better if they thought “she didn’t go to the capital and is simply frequently absent doing business.”
*
There won’t be anyone trying to confirm whether Mitsuha was in the capital or in the Viscounty during that period. Everyone in the Earl’s family will meet Mitsuha every few days in the capital so it’s unlikely anyone would needlessly confirm.
*
However, the eight days during the move will hurt. No, there will be a cart loaded with luggage and it’ll move slowly emphasizing on ride quality, so it will take more time than in the case of a carriage……
*
*
*
“Um, I’ll come by myself later …”
*
“No! I told you that the bandits haven’t been reduced yet! And if we don’t go together then there’s no mean… No…”
*
The Earl spoke ambiguously after making a sound argument.
*
Apparently, it seems they wanted to talk with Mitsuha about various things the ten days of travel. The Earl or maybe Iris-sama, with Beatrice-chan, and Theodore-kun. (伯爵様か、もしくはイリス様、ベアトリスちゃんに、テオドール君とかが。)
*
However, she can’t leave the territory unattended that long.
*
“It’s going to continue to be a problem from now on and the Earl should be okay” so Mitsuha resolved.
*
*
*
“Earl, there’s a little secret
I have to tell you”
*
Hearing that, Mitsuha cleared the room and give the Earl who stopped his voice an explanation.
