”Mysuch wonderful presents like these, Muno Barondom is quite rich isn't it”
Theat the presents from me that are in front of her, [Silk Cloth], [Sapphire Necklace], and [Coral Works] with great delight I originally wanted to only give her the necklace, but since Arisa suggested that presents would be better if there were a lot, I slightly added it The coral works especially, Viscount shi+men's secretary secretly advisedrare in the inland, so it would be easy for the ive them to her servants
I've packed the gold nude woman statue that's for Marquis Ashi+nen and handed it to the butler It would have been sold to soave it to the madam after all
The madam of marquis Ashi+nen is an obese wohters and two sons, though they're not here The children are around 10-18 years old, two of the daughters have beenon the royal castle Thanks to the un talks, I acquired various information about the Marquis' house, nobles and the wealthy living in the labyrinth city I don't feel particularly tired taking the role of a listener since I've gotten used to it during the tea parties in the duchy capital
”Mother, did you call me?”
”Ara, you're late How about her higness?”
”O madam! What do you want me for?” <tln: she=”” calls=”” herself=”” with=”” 'a',=”” and=”” as=”” you=”” uessed=””>
”I'll introduce this person to your highness He's--”
The t people who have entered the room are the second 15 years old pludo the labyrinth city Unlike at that time, her hair is in proper drill twin tail style The silver hair ornament suits her brown hair well A maid-san with plain face who seeuess she's the fiancee of the marquis couple's second son
With the mada down after hearing e
”Fuhn, what, he's just a honorary chevalier huh Making reet a sham noble who sucks up to o back to my room now?”
This second son is just the about same as the Marquis whoht, he should be more indirect with the insult even if the other party is a lower ranked noble
”Geritz-dono, aren't you being rude to that person? In our kingdo a bit more respectful even if the other person is a lower ranked noble nanoja”
As for this princess, although her way of talking is strange, she's unexpectedly proper
The second son quietly cursed the princess, ”Acting so i the roo the madam's permission
The ized for his re overprotective?
The third and fourth daughter of the Marquis couple entered in exchange Gona the third daughter is lightly obese, while shi+na the fourth daughter is thin and underweight unlike her sister and mother Her face also looks somewhat different than the two The older sister is still 12 years old, yet she's already been decided to marry into the house of a viscount who's their trusted retainer shi+na, the 10 years old little sister is still undecided due to her sickness
”Excuse me”
Theso She's pushi+ng a food trolley which has the Castella and blue tea that I've brought as presents
”My, it's really an unusual cake isn't it?”
”It's soft”
”My, it's ant taste”
”It's a cake that the queen of a faraway elf kingdom eats, it's called Castella”
I'h elf-sareat relish Un, let's go and visit her with some castella later
”As expected of the pastry of the large kingdoh the 『Hotcake』 from the other day was delicious, I have never eaten such delicious cake like this before I also want to dom become able to have cakes like this freely available ja”
Glad that the princess-sahted
The lightly obese third daughter-san has finished eating it in one go and is ai for her little sister's plate, but it looks like she thinks it's iuest, she doesn't seem like she'll make a move I presented the one in my plate that I hadn't touched to her when the madam turned away her view for an instant
”You eat it too shi+na It's sweet and delicious”
”Yes, mother”
The fourth daughter who has been urged by her mother cut a small piece of the yellow section of the castella and puts it into herit for a while, she leaks out a voice of admiration, ”Delicious”, that sounds like a cry Her expression doesn't change, but her pale face has becohtly reddish, so she's probably happy
Theto the labyrinth city so I answered, ”Explorer” The third and fourth daughters didn't seem to be particularly interested, but the princess bit it
”Oh! You caood! I also careat deeds like your country's Ringrande-sama, and become the hero's companion noja”
As expected, I think it's impossible for the princess to become an explorer Her level is only two, and she doesn't have any fighting skills She only has the Etiquette skill
Even though I'd like to tell her sos, for the time let's be polite and only said, ”That's quite a wonderful dream”
