Drop!! ～A Tale of the Fragrance Princess～ (WN)

Cordelia then ran errands towards Fulvia's house and headed straight to her home. When I got home, I immediately headed to the library and looked for a statement about Count Zakharov's house. Even if the Count himself is said to be an inconspicuous figure, he should be able to find more relevant material than he is in the Count's house.

(... but I knew your territory wasn't a gorgeous place)

Major industries in Count Zakharov's territory, elongated from sea to inland, are considered agricultural, but are they of slightly lower quality, and the transaction is somewhat inexpensive? The harvest does not seem to be low, so it seems to be a difficult income, but it is difficult to say that we can afford it.

(Still, you are actively pursuing the development of the territory. That's what I'm trying to say about investing in welfare...... but from the amount of the deal, it also looks like too much)

With that in mind, Cordelia took a new dossier about twenty years old. There are written approximate transaction amounts and top items for the domestic shipping industry, including the Count Zakharov family. From there it seemed that the income of the Count Zakharov family at that time was also higher than that of the entire major industry in the Count's territory today.

Proceeding with the material, it was eventually written that at the beginning of the year when the Count Zakharov family lost their ship, they had purchased two ships powered by the latest magic tools.

(... the ships you lost were both new. So the money stopped spinning and I had to give up re-buying the ship......)

It is the market in this world that Cordelia cannot imagine, such as the price of a ship with the latest formula, but can buy a single carriage that is not a magic tool with one hairdryer of magic tools. Even though purchasing two ships at the same time alone would require considerable funds, if that were to motivate magic tools… it is visible that the finances would deteriorate at the moment of loss.

With that in mind, he kept turning the page and Cordelia wrinkled her forehead.

"Still, the donations made by the Count have not changed for a long time...... no, rather, they increase every year?

Though the forehead is low on donations, it basically describes the other party, and its location is increasing year after year. Reduce the amount per place and increase the target... I wouldn't be doing anything about it.

But what does it mean that we continue to make more donations than before we lost the ship?

(Originally I was going to see what kind of person said they were Shelley's kin candidates... but more mysteries than I thought)

And without such an increase in donations, you could have suspected that you were involved in Sherry's kidnapping for gold purposes, but you feel indescribable when you look at welfare services that don't care about income and expenditure. Kidnapping, if the ghost is right, is a request from a northern human being. I just got some temporary money, and Count Zakharov is going to melt it with donations soon. If you want money, stop donating.

(But if you were going to strip me in the first place, you wouldn't publicly say you wanted to welcome me around)

If you think you had a strong interest, you could look into suspicion. Normally, you should want to avoid that.

However, that being said, he is a person with many mysteries, and I am still concerned that he suggests that Shelley may be involved.

"… for one thing, do we need to observe the progress at this time"

Tomorrow we head back to church.

If we do well, we'll also be able to face Shelley. And if there's anything in Shelley's belongings that you can tell she's the daughter of the Count Clyde Laine family, or if you can find a hint of it - this issue can be separated once and for all. Rather, without it, Cordelia herself won't get the certainty that Shelley is the daughter of the Clyde Raine family.

"I wish I could remember"

You won't believe it without any trigger or evidence, such as the fact that Shirai's child was the daughter of the Count's family. Maybe there was a scene like that during the game, but unfortunately I don't remember Cordelia. But if we find that, and even let Count Clyde find the possibility, the rest should be manageable with a magic test similar to a DNA test.

"I don't know what keeps my skin away so much that I can't notice my surroundings. Someone in the church would know if they knew soon enough."

Cordelia doesn't have the confidence to guide the conversation well.

Shelly's condition when she was arguing with the Micks is also the cause, but her refusal to respond to Shelly and the Prince she's been holding since her memory came back is reluctant to have a conversation.

"Yes, I've made up my mind... it's really instinctive already"

But Cordelia took a long breath and re-decided to be ready, saying that she was also the one who decided there was a reason not to overlook it. And for the first time, as I was cleaning up the book, Lara appeared in the library.

"Lady, she said dinner was ready!

"Thanks"

"I went to the castle library, and I can't believe I'm in the library again. Your daughter really likes grasshoppers and books."

Lara helped Cordelia as she naturally grabbed the book.

"Ah, lady. Do you mind if I take the day off tomorrow?

"Rest? Fine, but are you adjusting your work?

Lara nodded well as Cordelia tilted her neck at the rare offer.

"That's just it! Actually, the merchant in and out told me today that the circus was coming. I don't even have a pre-sale ticket and there are plenty of people, so it might be hard to watch the show, but I heard there are plenty of rare animals around the tent, too."

With that said, Lara was making her eyes shine. Cordelia laughed small.

"Fine, have fun"

"Thanks!"

"Is Ronnie with you? It wouldn't be fun to go alone, would it?

"Yeah, the lady's going out tomorrow, isn't she? If I tell the master, Ronnie should do her job because she's planning to go with the master and his grandson."

"You are."

"Besides, do I look like the type of guy Ronnie would be happy to see an animal?

"... so is that."

Cordelia laughed lightly wondering if that was what you meant if you didn't want to look sorry. And at some point I was a little surprised by Lara spreading her friendship to the grandson of the master.

"Why don't you go change your mood, lady? Also, something new might come to mind."

"Hmm, I'll just remember"

"If you want to go, don't hesitate to say it because I'll show you around."

Lara's heart, proclaiming so magnificently, seemed already on its way to the circus venue.

The next day, Cordelia made her way to church again with Ronnie and joined Clarice, who was meeting her. Clarice said it was a holiday today. She had a blouse with brooches, a long skirt, and a simple look that she was wearing a sword.

"Please continue today, Dear Clarice"

"Thank you for changing it, Master Cordelia. And then Mr. Ellis."

"Thank you very much"

"I can tell you a lot...... shall I tell you later about the stone statue, starting with the main stained glass? There are many others, from chairs to candlesticks."

I guess it's because yesterday I got sidelined, Clarice suddenly got to the point without pinching the chatter. As he moved around, Cordelia looked around the church and realized yesterday that he was just nervous and hadn't noticed, besides the chairs and candlesticks Clarice said, even the floor was a rare stone if you look closely.

(... I'd really appreciate it... but this, all of it... are you okay...?

The momentum that prevents me from meeting Shelley and others makes me feel rich in cultural objects. I appreciate the offer from the favor, but it's also an idea to deviate from the primary purpose that came to the church.

(Though... if you're nearby, you'll notice it's weird too)

In addition to the knight in position, there's Clarice, and then there's Ronnie.

If there's an intruder, we'll be able to deal with it right away. The minimal role of not being kidnapped should be fulfilled by being here.

"If that means you know it in your book, you may not need a preliminary commentary or anything...... the name of this stained glass piece is" The Descent of the Virgin ". It depicts the first king who inspired this nation to be built and the Virgin coming down from the sky."

The history Clarice tells is learning Cordelia as well.

As with history in Nihon, there are not many that were somewhat mythical in the history and early days of this country. Though it is about a thousand years old, even Nihon has a magnificent number of monsters appearing in the book of Peace a thousand years ago from Heisei. So it's not surprising, but Cordelia also wonders if it might have really happened, in this world where magic still exists.

Not surprisingly, the Virgin descends from the sky because she is the one with the memory of her previous life.

"- Next, let me tell you about the stone statue we talked about yesterday."

"Please"

He was just going to go against his thoughts a little bit, but he figured it out so much that at some point the story would switch. I made my consciousness clear again, reflecting that I had done something rude.

"That stone statue is a preacher, watched over by the two first kings and the Virgin."

"Preacher...?

"Preachers are unknown in name and gender. However, it is said that the official records of the preacher's lifespan are mostly by preachers."

"Really?"

"They say the preacher has a diary separate from the official records. Most importantly, they don't treat you as an official record, and they don't like the church, so they have a history of taking most of the copies and burning them. It's a diary though, so they didn't originally have many copies... but it might still be on the big bookshelf."

I'm not interested in the story of the first king and the Virgin itself.

Because if I knew the country's interests, I wouldn't have had any trouble or problems with it. But if there was anything left in the diary that led to what the ghost said was the ominous end of the Virgin - this could be a big tip.

Cordelia took a slow look at the preacher's stone statue.

The next time we go to the Great Bookshelf, make sure to look for it.

When I was so determined, I heard the entrance open.

If I could see you by the sound, there stood Count Zakharov, who I saw yesterday, with his squire.

"Count Zakharov. It's rare, come two days in a row."

Clarice raised her voice a little surprised before Cordelia.

People's seemingly good grin was the same as yesterday, with their hands gently raised.

"What, have something unusual today. If you don't mind, I'm here to invite Mr. Shelley."

"Is it unusual?

"It's a circus ticket. I hear there are animals, birds, then light contractors and other shows I don't see around here, and I wonder if Mr. Cordelia or Lord Keithley would like to?

While slightly surprised by his words with the circus, Cordelia looked at the tickets indicated. Probably the same one Lara said. Except the ticket itself was a luxurious make, so I guess the seats are definitely superior.

But Clarice's expression clouded before I gave that reply.

"Does Lord Keithley not like animals very much?

"No, that... I'm glad you care... but I can't physically get close to a cat animal"

"Oh, that's a shame. I hear there are a lot of big cat animals."

"I'm sorry," Claris muttered again to Count Zakharov, who looked sorry for him.

"Never mind, my friend originally just gave up what he was going to go with his family."

"But... if Shelley were to go, other children would be jealous."

I understand Count Zakharov is laying his late wife on Sherry, but do I have permission?

When it comes to family, there will be no share of all the children in the church here either. I don't want Shelly to head to a place where there are so many people like that right now in the first place.

But the Count remained gloomy.

"There shouldn't be a problem. In the meantime, I got Shelley a wonderful birthday present. Speaking of which, you should be fine."

"Birthday present, is it"

"Oh. I got a round of pretty flowers. The clergyman will listen to my selfishness for once or so."

……

If Count Zakharov, who has been providing support for many years and is close to the Church, says so, he will be right. But I am also concerned about the situation in which Count Zakharov attaches special importance to one child that he continues to support. If we create discord by favouring Sherry, we might have a crack in our common life.

(in any case...... can't just leave me alone, or)

If the intended sherry is taken out, it doesn't serve the purpose of Cordelia either.

If you look at Ronnie properly, he's showing that he doesn't mind either.

I have heard several noble family names from Elvis to watch out for, but the Count Zakharov family has never been particularly touched.

"Well... if Shelley would like to join us, I'd love to"

In Cordelia's words, Count Zakharov smiled with joy.

As Count Zakharov said, Sherry's permission to go out came down light.

I thought I had done something wrong once again to Clarice, who was trying to give me guidance because of it, but Clarice also snuck in and said, "Master Cordelia's with me is helpful". Even though Clarice also had a reason, it must have been a relief to refuse an invitation from the owner of a historic aristocratic house.

And then Sherry, who appeared full of energy, jumped to Count Zakharov there too, greeting him.

"Count Zakharov! You're taking me to the circus, true!? Me, I wanted to see it!

"Hello, Mr. Shelley"

Sherry, who showed up full of energy, also jumped there to Count Zakharov to greet him.

The slightly plated outfit appears to be an old outfit previously given to the children by Count Zakharov. However, when I told Cordelia about it, she also said, "That child's share, it's really new," so I guess I fully understand Count Zakharov's hissing himself.

I may not be emotionally compelled because I'm also thinking about the possibility of being my own child, but Cordelia caught on a little bit.

"Are you excited about the circus?

"Of course! But I'm sorry. I don't have any dreams I can tell the Count today. The only thing that came out of my dreams was open-air merchants. But that dream meant going there today!

"I'm here to see Mr. Shelley, so I'm glad you don't mind. Kids are best laughing."

Shelley is supposed to be old enough not to be a child, but Cordelia decided not to say that either. The words Count Zakharov is saying can also sound like verbal complaints if the child is not the other person. It would only be extra to mouth each other out of the side while we thought nothing of each other.

(... if it's just the way you tell the Count you can't tell him, he really looks like a pure kid)

I feel all caught up in the Count and Shelley, and I can't seem to be distracted at all.

Shelley seemed to have finally noticed Cordelia's presence thinking about that, too.

"Oh, yesterday's"

"Hello"

"It rained, didn't it?

Cordelia nodded at the girl who looked victorious.

Her mood, which the Micks pissed off, seems to be completely fixed.

Shelley talked all the way to the venue on the way to the carriage for the four of us.

Talk about the song being able to sing very well.

Talk about being able to paint well too.

And the story of dreaming and finding a drop.

Then thanks to the drop found, the story of getting a treat.

The momentum told from next to next could not remain, and my mouth could not afford to pinch it.

Cordelia also tried to come up with evidence that could be said to be Count Clyde Laine's daughter, even in some fragments, but I couldn't find anything to hint at in Sherry's words.

(But I don't know that she's Count Clyde's daughter. You haven't even dreamed about this.)

How good would it have been if Shelley knew how to welcome me?

Even Shelley wants the prince to deliver that fame, so if Count Clyde finds out he's his father, he'll be happy to accept his welcome.

(but actually, there's no such vibe at all)

If there is a difference between the game and here...... if Shelley is really the daughter involved in the Count Zakharov family, Cordelia will have an inconvenience. The Count Zakharov family is not a house that employs magicians. I think it's unsolicited, but if someone were to target the girl of their dreams, they would think the protection was inadequate.

"Hey...... hey"

"Huh?"

I wonder how long they've been calling me? As Cordelia raised her face to Sherry's voice, Sherry was laughing with pleasure.

"Hey, you know you have stained glass in church?

"Of the church...? Yeah, that's the meeting between the first king and the Virgin. So fantastic."

Cordelia returned a stereotypical sentence for the reason she used it as an excuse to visit the church.

"Well, you're surprisingly knowledgeable," a word of sight emanated from Shelley a little from the top.

It's an atmosphere that seems a little less far-fetched, except noble or not.

But again, this girl didn't even care at all about such subtle movements of Cordelia's mind. Instead, he made a vocal claim.

"I think. I'm sure the meeting between the Virgin and the King was a miracle, but two strong feelings made this country. It's so nice to have the power of that Virgin on me, too!

Cordelia felt chills on Sherry, who put her hands together and gave her a lukewarm look.

(... I knew you already thought of yourself as a complete Virgin)

How could you have imagined, even though it is rumored in the city, that the person is so strongly aware, etc. I had thought of the possibility of not being heroine-like in character, but I had also not thought of myself as being so strong so far. And - it was also out of my imagination how I was more intoxicated with Sylvester than with love.

"Hey, Mr. Shelley. Why do you want to help His Highness? Because I want to be just like the Virgin...... is it?

"Of course it is! But Your Highness has helped me before. It was disguised, but what I dreamed of."

"A dream?"

"Yes, Your Highness appeared in my dream when I wished to repay that one day who helped me. He was very classy, even if he was different, and the gentle atmosphere remained the same!

Cordelia responded with an ambiguous grin at Sherry, who was excited that way.

The prince helps Shelley? Such a story was not in the game. I really don't even know if the person Shelly was helped by is a prince, but I don't know how.

"You want me to tell you? But you can't. It's a memory of me and Your Highness."

……

No, it wouldn't matter how she met Sylvester at this time.

Rather, the only thing that would be a problem would be her thoughts.

(If your personality is just very different, you've also been given the possibility of knowing the same 'game' as me. But probably not)

That's also clear from the fact that I don't consider Count Clyde Laine my father, but most importantly, I don't see how Sherry took any interest in Cordelia. Assuming Shelley is the one who knows the 'game', she would do enough to whisk an eyebrow for a moment against those who threaten to persecute herself.

(... even though it is rather that if you were the same reincarnator, on the contrary, it would have been easier to support your friendship with His Highness)

I would have liked it to have a slightly softer personality if possible, even if it simply had different personalities.

The character of the heroine and other players' behavioral choices change somewhat, but do not fall into that category. Too extreme. And Count Zakharov laughed in front of Cordelia, who swallowed his sigh.

"If you want to take the same path as the Virgin, you have to work a little harder to study. The priest would have told you, too, wouldn't he?

"Yeah, sure, it may be something you need to study, but something I have the power to dream about. All you have to do is brush this up and act."

Physical rejection of Shelley would not be the only thing that terrifies me about pure speech.

I believe all my powers are special and right... and therefore I believe that I can be special.

"... What do you think of that dream if it's wrong?

It's understandable that it's a statement that could damage Shelley's mood.

But I couldn't help but ask Cordelia how much she valued it. And Shelley's eyebrow roots stopped by.

"Why are you saying that? Are you trying to tell me I'm wrong?

"It's not like that. I was just wondering how I could show you that it was absolutely certain."

"That's easy. My dreams are just for those who want to believe. If you didn't believe me, you'd just be wrong, wouldn't you?

Cordelia also understood Shelley, who confidently tapped into a completely unanswered answer. No more questions for her right now are pointless, and from what I've heard, we'll have to follow the parallel lines.

(But the idea could be to destroy her surroundings and destroy her with one mistake)

If you're going to pierce the creed, this is something you have to tell them. But I want to tell her to be by her side and avoid irritating her. Here, patience - yes, once again an unexpected voice reached my ear when I put my strength at my fingertips.

"Dreams are aids. It's hard to get credit without just trying to convince me."

"I think it's a battle in numbers. If we had a result, we'd all believe it, wouldn't we?

Sherry still replied confidently to Count Zakharov, who gently tells him. That was more confident than when I answered Cordelia, and the momentum was to say that Count Zakharov would also know that.

(... you mean you're showing Count Zakharov so many success stories)

But Shelley's confidence was a little surprising to Count Zakharov, who had liked her twice earlier and now. Of course, it's possible that you're pretending, but if you're going to strip, you should have affirmed everything - after all, was your suspicion of Count Zakharov overthought? Well, that would be a pleasure.

"Oh, you've arrived."

"The carriage journey, you've lost it. You were like a princess and you had fun!

With that said, Shelley jumped out of the carriage vigorously before your man opened the door.

Then the Count descends. I'm still with her, but Cordelia was relieved that the tension in the confined spaces was resolved.

"... Hey, lady. Aren't you superior? I wouldn't let you say that all the time."

"I'm not sick. I couldn't argue because I couldn't quickly prove that her dreams were wrong.... and I was thinking about staying here without telling your father a little bit."

To Ronnie's words Cordelia immediately tried to delude herself, and noticed.

Well, what I couldn't argue with about the conversation with her is that instead of the answers becoming parallel lines, so far it's more of a reality that her dreams hit. According to what I've heard, it's not a big deal, but it's a hit, isn't it?

(... it wasn't a game for her to see Cordelia in her dreams)

But in the first place, Cordelia's contact with Sherry now is different from the story itself.

This world is real, with no save data and no redo.

(I have to hope her powers don't get any stronger)

You should have only gained the power to solve people's problems in the game.

However, given the current situation and her behavior, there can often be confusion if more power is put in place.

With that in mind, Cordelia could only laugh at Ronnie small, but now she could. And I still don't see the truth about the case, but I've only been able to understand with clarity that I wouldn't be compatible with Shelley.

"... I didn't want to say much, but my husband is telling me to make the lady like it unless she does something so dangerous. So I thought you didn't need to worry."

"Oh, really?

"Yeah. Unless you do something dangerous. On the contrary, I'm keeping my judgment."

Cordelia got out of the carriage, smiling bitterly at Ronnie, emphasizing oddly.
