Chapter 136 (1/2)

(Headnote: Greetings folks, I'm here to announce that we have a new editor, his name is Okaz, please welcome him kindly. But he starts editing from Ch.115, so new chapters will be released just like usual, unedited, for the meantime. Please check his work in Ch.115. Also, to differentiate between edited and unedited chapters, I will just give the t.i.tle some kind of color code. If it's yellow then it's unedited, and if it's white like normal then it's edited. Well, that's all from me, greeting from okaz should be present in Ch.115. end of note)

136. Information gathering 1

”Excuse me, good evening everyone!” (Mitsuha)

”Really, you should excuse yourself…” (Mitchan)

Just as I arrived in the dining room, Mitchan already complaining from the beginning!

Well, I rushed to the house of Marquis Mitchel without an appointment for the night. It can't be helped if they feel mad.

”But I don't have intermediary, so I don't know how to make appointment! So, I came to make an appointment myself but then I thought if I already came here anyway, why not just meet right now…” (Mitsuha)

”Are there any n.o.ble who will go make an appointment by themselves?” (Mitchan)

She is still mad at me…

When I was getting disheartened, Marquis-sama sent me a lifeboat.

”Well, Micheline, don't treat Viscount Yamano too harshly. She is now far away from her parents, perhaps she can't get used to the unfamiliar foreign land yet…” (Marquis-sama)

With Marquis-sama's lifeboat, I managed to avoid Mitchan's scolding.

No, of course, I also thought that I have to send notice first, at least once. But even if I try to write a letter, I don't know Mitchan's address, and I don't know where to buy stamps, and there's no postbox or post office whatsoever…

Moreover, there are no public telephone, and I don't have their number… tte, I guess there's no way such thing exists in this world.

The advance notice is usually sent by a servant and they wait for the reply. That is the common sense here. That is, so as to not disturb their pleated skirts, or make their white sailor collars flutter.

(Note: I think there is no correlation between the common sense and that line, but that line is reference from mariga miteru, so I just left it as it is.)

”Oh right, these are souvenir!” (Mitsuha)

The contents were taken out from the bag hung on my left shoulder and the bag I held in my right hand, then I arranged them on the table.
