Chapter 14

The Sardines Won't Run Away

[REICHEL]

By the time I opened my eyes, I instantly recalled the reason why I collapsed and was thinking how to deal with it as I got up from the bed.

Marius, about how long was I asleep?]

[It's half a day, Your Highness.]

[At that time, did Yuan and Aine meet?]

[No,sir. Yuan-sama carried Your Highness to the clinic, then went to the Third Division for inspection.]

[Is that so... Marius, you've done well. I will leave it to you to continue with your observations.]

[Yes, sir.]

After Marius left the room, I also left after a while.

To simplify things —

Aine somehow manipulated Yuan into wanting to take him as his wife and is planning to control the government in the shadows. I don't know what kind of tricks he pulled but to make the hard-headed Yuan fall for him, so he's not just and idiot but also a seductress. I couldn't but get irritated for some reason.

But I won't let you do as you please. And so I dropped by my Father's office.

[Father, I have something to tell you.]

[AINE]

There're strawberry flowers blooming. They were white and beautiful. Apparently, you need to give strawberries water everyday so I water them frequently. Once the petals fall, it's time to harvest the strawberries.

When strawberries are ripe, you can eat them as is, add them to a cake, or make a jam out of them..

For Kamekichi who's in the pond, I poured sardines into the water to scatter. I wonder if it's because it's summer, he's been excitedly playing at the bottom of the water that he didn't notice the food.

[Kamekichi~ the sardines won't run.]

He's so cute as I fed him the sardines. Actually, if you feed it by hand, he would get used to it and won't eat any other way next time so it's not good. He ate the sardine with a big mouth and went back underwater.

After seeing the situation, I headed to the field. Tomatoes, cucumber, green beans! Summer veggies, BANZAI! While thinking that it would be nice to drink beer or something, I thought of sponging off Crash-san who lives nearby.

Meanwhile, I heard the sound of a horse. I wondered who it was as I raised my head.

[Geh]

It was Reichel-niisama.

[There's just something I wanted to tell you. Before that, bring out the coffee.] (TN: Uwaah! You shameless @!#$!)

[O, Okay.]

I'm ashamed as an ex-Japanese to be swayed and ordered around like this! I brought the vegetables I picked up and entered the house.

Reichel-niisama laughed as he watched Kamekichi swimming in the pond.

[It sure resembles a certain owner! You!]

What do you mean?!

Even though this person hates me this much, why does he keep coming here?! Moreover, ordering me to bring out coffee as if he's my master! Is this a coffee shop?!

I begrudgingly set the fire stronger than usual. But in the end, I'm the most miserable for silently listening to all of it, I thought as I headed towards the table with my drooped shoulders.
