Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

Here we are, it's the day of your promise to your grandfather.

We have a meeting on this day, and when we have just had breakfast, we begin to support ourselves. I'm walking around the city today, so I figured I'd have to dress like that, a little more qualitative than usual. … but I also don't feel that different because of the emphasis on functionality recently.

When I headed to wait for your grandfather in the front door, Tanya, dressed in disguise for some reason as well, was waiting.

"Tanya... I dare you to ask, what happened to that outfit?

"I will be with you"

"But Tanya. I don't really want to walk with people today."

"Two or three won't be the same."

No, it might be...

"Ma'am, take care of yourself more. Master Gazelle's help is certain. But in case… it will be hard to fight while protecting your daughter. So at least take me alone"

"But..."

"Isn't that good, Iris"

"My grandfather..."

"Tanya's worried too. It is in the Lord's service to draw those feelings."

... Sure, it would be a lot in case something happened to me. Little by little, the chamber of commerce and the consular government are starting to set in place. I can't say much about it.

"Okay. Bye, grandfather. Tanya. Let's go. And both of you, call me Alice in the city."

Make a push, then walk out the back gate and slowly down the street. Um, the weather is nice and pleasant. My land in Evergreen is just fine without being too cold or too hot on foot.

The more you go to the center of the city, the more people you come and go. Brown brick-built buildings lined up and had a different interest than in Japan. Walk down the lively main street and see the shop in a chill. Speaking of which, what time has it been since window shopping......

"Wow, cute. Auntie. What flower is this?

I'm worried about the seedling bowls lined up at the store, and I stop my legs. Purple petals were adorable flowers.

"It's an adjuga flower. It's a blooming flower this time of year. It's an easy flower to grow."

"Heh... how much is this?

"It's 1000 bells in bloom. 500 bells a bag if it's from seed."

"Then give me the seed."

"Aye. Thank you."

Pay for it, get the bag. I knew it would be fun to shop for yourself.

"There, what are you going to do?

"He said I should grow it at the window of the study. It would feel kind of painful, wouldn't it? That room."

"Ha ha... I knew it would be good for a girl to be attentive in the details"

I felt hungry after a short walk and we walked into a dining room a little off the road. Apparently, the store I came into was one of the most popular, and it was almost full.

"Welcome. Please take your seats."

Sit back in a wooden chair and watch a menu hung on the wall. There seems to be a wide variety of products.

"So, Noon has a meat-roasted set meal."

"Um, I'm on a set of stews and bread"

"I'd like the same thing, please"

When the clerk walks away from us, he looks inside the store again. People come and go intensely, the cluttered atmosphere is lively and fun.

"Yes, wait. From the stew first. Ladies, that's a face you don't see."

Another person delivered it to me from the clerk earlier.

"I'm from Wang Du. It's been a little while since I moved, 'cause I got bummed out and I couldn't show my face to the city all the time."

"Right. From the King's Landing."

"How's it going in this city?

"Hmm? Well, it's a good realm no less than the king's capital. Especially lately, things have changed a little bit to make it easier for us to live.

"That's good"

My uncle's thoughts made me happy. I thought what I was doing wasn't for nothing. Sometimes I get scared.... I wonder if what I'm doing is right. Of course, there are no right or wrong answers... no, I want them because I don't. Clear “correctness”.

I put that away and the food I ate was very tasty. After all, this is good too... it's usually hard to stick to. I don't even know how your grandfather feels.

Have a delicious meal and walk out of the store again. Shall we go home? If I had thought of it that way, one little kid would have sat up and one would have been kidding.

"What's going on? Are you sick?

Although the clothes keep it clean, I feel worn out. And the body was thin overall.

"... I'm lost"

The girl who was looking around with Kyolo said so in tears.

"Well, that's tough. Have you lost your father and your mother?

"Yeah. I live with the teachers."

If you knew where he was coming from, you couldn't be lost... well, you're in trouble.

"Uncle...... Dear Alice. Could these kids be living in a hospital?

Now... Tanya, you were about to call me a lady.... and you mean these kids more than that.

"Hospital, what?

"It's a downtown facility that takes and raises children who have lost their parents."

"Well, what a lovely activity. In the meantime, let's get these kids there."

The girl who was sitting around is held up by her grandfather, and the other child and I are asked to take her to Tanya holding hands.

The gradual tidiness of the city has turned into something that is garbage and has a thin, dirty impression. Was it the right answer, the eyes of the children shine. Where the church-like building was visible, the children rushed out towards it. In front of the building, a woman looked around clouding her face as she was looking for the children. And when I find the kids, I circle my eyes for a moment surprised... eventually distorting my face like I'm about to cry out again.

"Not at all......! I would have worried... where the hell have you been...!

"I'm sorry, Dr. Mina. When I was exploring, I was lost."

"Well... I'm glad you're safe on the horn..."

One of the women who called the children Dr. Mina held her tight.... Good to hear from you then.

"... oh, these people...?

A woman who noticed us looks at us strangely. I wondered what to answer… the kids opened their mouths to me.

"He brought us this far."

"Well......! Sorry for the inconvenience."

"No, it's fine."

"I can't even thank you enough for the tea..."

I praised it, but I ended up interrupting the kids even though they invited me to play with them.

It was a bit old inside, as it looked, and although it seemed like it needed repairs everywhere, it was nicely cleaned and beautiful in every corner.

"Thank you so much for today"

"No... I'm kind of sorry. Oh, I'm late, but my name is Alice."

"My name is Mina.... Mr. Alice, where were those kids?

"By the main street, right? In terms of location, is it near the Azuta Chamber of Commerce"

"Oh, I knew..."

"I knew it...?

"No, I'm embarrassed to say this, but it looks like the kids heard about something called chocolate from the Azzuta Chamber of Commerce, something they didn't want to try once."

"Well... so far away..."

"You've got plenty of energy. If you look away, you'll go somewhere soon."

"By the way, why is Mina here taking care of the kids?

"... Actually, I'm one of those people who was raised here. My raised parent was a Dariyan Sister, who administered the church here. And like me, I picked up an orphan and raised him. After Sister's death, I'm taking over."

"... I see. Excuse me, what's going on with the money or something? Um... when it comes to feeding that many people..."

"I used to use donations to churches. However, donations have decreased since Sister disappeared..."

Hmm... the situation is not directly related to Dalitism. I guess those who still donate today are all making donations with the intention of donating to the orphans rather than to the church. I said, it doesn't look like Mina can even go out to work...

Or is this a problem I should address? Pack up your conversation with Sebastian as soon as you get home.

"... well..."

"I'm sorry I told you a dark story. Please, take your time. I'm here for dinner."

No, no, no! He said he couldn't take care of you any more! That's what I wanted to say no to, but Mina just left the place.

... or it would be careless to keep me with the kids I just met.

If you look around as you think about it, your grandfather is dealing with the kids in the garden because he likes them.... Grandfather, aren't you trying to train me?

Then Tanya is teaching the girl how to tie her hair. Um, Tanya, you're surprisingly good with kids.

... Well, the trouble is, the kids were gathering around me, too. There are girls and boys... but what shall we do? Kids are cute and I like them, but I've never really dealt with them, so I don't know what to do.

So I told the kids a fairy tale and made them listen. Fairy tales like everyone else in Japan knows. It's something the kids listen to with their eyes shining gradually, so I talked about it in a few ways, and I couldn't help but play it and talk about it even though I had never played it.

... Oh? Soon the kids will be getting together even more. It was about 3 people at first, but now it was up to 8. The other two are under Tanya with your grandfather one at a time. Grandfather, where did you get that wooden knife from...?

In the meantime, I was shaking that question off my head and letting the kids continue to talk.... the kids who have some kind of wooden knife seem to enjoy it. The truth is that I made an excuse in my head for not being anyone because it might help me in the future and decided not to see it.

Speaking of which, isn't there a picture book about this world? If not, do it quickly at the Azzuta Chamber of Commerce. It's good for educating kids, and it's good to try to donate revenue.

I was thinking about that, and suddenly I heard yelling from the outside.

"I know you're here! Come out now!!

... hey, what?

With the voice of a wild man, he is uttered to come out over and over again. The children were naturally scared and shrunk. Finally, with the sound of Gashan, a stone was thrown in.

"... all! Are you okay?"

Mina, who heard the noise, rushed to the room in a hurry.

"What the hell does this mean?

Tanya asks. Always expressionless, but I felt a little angry.

"... Actually, I'm ashamed to ask you to leave..."

"Why?

"Dariyah has drawn his hand from here, where Sister is gone and his successor is not coming. So it seems that his husband bought this land. But we don't have a place to go after we leave..."

So while I was rubbing it, this is what happened. Hmmm... although the other means are not complimented, I also feel there is legitimacy. The location is reasonably good because this is close to Main Street while downtown...

In the meantime, the yelling got louder so I went outside.

Along the way, I heard Tanya say "please stop" over my back, but you wouldn't be able to say that either. Tanya, no questions asked, seems like a beating, and your grandfather is taken as intimidating just because he left.

"Ah? What are you..."

Two tough guys were surprised by my appearance.

"I am the one who came here to worship.... Apparently, I haven't done Mass in a long time. But this one, though bent, is a Dariyan church. I'm not impressed with you throwing stones."

"Ah? Our employer bought this place."

"Well, isn't it Dariyan anymore?"

"That's right. But there are the kids who live here, and we're just kicking them out."

"Really?... but I still can't admit to barbaric acts of throwing stones at churches as believers. If you show justification for being your own person, go to the bureau and present your statement of rights. You will take the necessary steps. It's a way of saying things like making the powerless obey with violence."

"Ugh!

"If you're going to make any more noise, I'll call the guards."

"... in the first place, I don't think it's a good idea for the kids to leave."

From behind the two, another man showed up to see where he was. I'll show you how the men are obeying, so perhaps the last man to show up is the employer. I wear clothes that look a little classy around here... but the extent is known because these are the guys I hire.

"I'll admit it there. But I don't think it's a good idea to extend it to acts of violence. If you claim your rights, tell the bureau."

"Hmm. I'm saying this one will water the stay while they illegally occupy me after I buy it. And I need you to get out of here, and I need you to be in trouble."

I can certainly nod what I'm saying. Hmmm...... but there's nothing you can do about suddenly being told to leave and hey. What are you paying for your stay?

"... or are you the substitute for the stay?

"... what?

No, no, no, what are you talking about? Not "I pay the nightly rate," but “I replace the nightly rate"? I mean, sell me?

"I refuse. … or what? That negotiation."

"You'd get a good price. No, I don't think I can sell it right away..."

"So you say no."

"Ha. You want to shelter the kids, don't you? Isn't that a good thing? Kids can charge for their stay, you can wear beautiful clothes and eat delicious food. I earn money. All right, you guys. I'm gonna take this guy."
