46 Transaction
When Mitsuha arrived at the Boses residence in the capital, the servants had already lined up in a row for welcoming. Usually, they would need to prepare in a hurry when the carriage arrives; with a few people lined up in front of the door and the others back-breakingly getting the tea, footbath, and the bath for removing the sweat and dirt ready. This was unavoidable because the estimated arrival time can vary around several days, It’s difficult to prepare in advance before they arrive.

It appears that the orphan boy did a good job. He is probably bouncing around. (弾んで貰えたことであろう。)

The butler Rufus takes the front of the row at the same time Mitsuha and Sabine arrive at the Boses residence. All the Boses residence’s servants know Sabine as well. Rufus had all the servants go to Mitsuha’s store to memorize Sabine’s face because she is frequently with Mitsuha and it would be a major incident if they were by some chance rude.

The Earl’s group arrived shortly thereafter. Having changed her position from the safest seat in the middle to the side when they arrived at the capital, Beatrice who’s the first to comes down from the Earl’s family carriage was surprised to notice Sabine next to Mitsuha when she was about to jump at her.
*
*
*
“H… huh?”
*
“Long time no see Beatrice-chan”
*
Sabine greet Beatrice with a smile while clinging to Mitsuha’s arm.
*
“Gununu……”
*
And Beatrice groaned with a regretful face for some reason.
*
Mitsuha smiles wryly.
*
*
*
“Oh my, what are you doing I wonder…”
*
“Here comes Iris-sama!”
*
“Huh…”
*
*
*
Mitsuha turns blue, her heart’s voice unexpectedly leaked out of her mouth from
Iris-sama’s words that sounded like something she heard once before.
*
And, Iris-sama puffs her cheeks at being treated like the last boss.
*
Sabine, Beatrice and the men breathe out a sigh while seeing off Mitsuha who was grabbed and pulled by the nape of her neck.
*
“” “Haa~……” “”
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
“So, why did you depart early alone without contacting us?”
*
Iris-sama was furious.
*
She thought that they would be finally traveling together with Mitsuha so she was especially sour.
