I was Reincarnated and Now I’m a Maid

198 From the Outlying House, with love.

"It's time to get there..."

"Huh? What? What do you get? Auntie."

When we were having tea together in the outhouse, I wondered too because my aunt looked out and squirmed.

'Cause you wonder what's gonna arrive, don't you?

New accessories, delicious treats, beautiful glass workmanship.

My aunt is fashionable, so I want to know!

When I asked her, she laughed gently.

"Oh, no. It's not a big deal, Primera."

"Yeah - I want you to tell me!

"Hehe, you unblemished kid. The Earl of Celeste, Keith Less, has told the Viscount that he will deliver the gift later because he is going to Viscount Fundid territory. Thought it might be time for that gift to arrive, huh?

"Viscount Fandid territory? At Julia's?

"That's right."

My aunt laughs at me.

What is it? Any gifts for Julia? My aunt stroked my head, saying that I couldn't help but couldn't listen.

"I sent that girl in my own carriage, as I've taught you, because of the parking club first, and the reward from me. But I realized I wasn't celebrating her birthday."

"Is Grandma celebrating, too?

"Yeah, yeah. Until now, I've only been allowed to give words because I've held my position as a samurai to serve beside you without making a social debut, but from this year on, I don't mind celebrating as a courtesan that I'm very kind to you."

"Oh well...!

It's a little weird to give a gift to a samurai, but surely it's not weird for you to give a gift personally to a courteous courtier!

My aunt smiled again when she saw that I was convinced.

But what the hell did I give you?

"Hey, Auntie, what does Grandma give you?

"Hehe, it's a corner. I decided to give you some time (...). It's okay. I've arranged an escort."

"? Julia, would you be happy?"

"Yeah, I'm sure. See, the cook at Primera's and his lover, the escort knight. Grandma promised me they'd solve the escort assignment on the way so I could enjoy my vacation, right?

Yes, Metabong bought me an escort with Julia's homecoming, but I also thought Primera was sorry to ask others that she was on a corner vacation with Regina!

I'm a corner lover. I was wondering if you wanted to be free to spend some time with me.

I'm glad you two are worried about Julia or think you like her, but I also like the Metabons.

"That's why I decided to send a replacement escort. Don't worry, will you?

"Thanks, Auntie!!

"Keith's boy owes Julia a debt of gratitude."

"Huh? Really?

"Yeah, that's right. Celeste's fabric became popular because she wore it as a dress."

I think that's what I would have done if I'd said the same thing.

That summer day, Julia made her debut at my birthday party. That dress was lovely......!!

My aunt is laughing at me with the old lady by her side. What is it?

But it sounds fun, so I'm sure she's a 'special' relationship samurai for your aunt, like me and Julia.

If I ask you, will you tell me what relationship you two have?

But when I asked, I didn't feel well.

Because I also want to brag to someone about my relationship with Asama (...)... but I also feel like I'm not in the mood to talk about it!

Two secrets between me and Kaasama!

Everyone at the Princess's Palace may know... but it's okay. Because it's a secret!!

(But, Auntie, wouldn't I be surprised if Julia received a gift later)

Even when we talked about getting the carriage out, it was a reward.

Well, what a special place for a carriage out of the royal family for the homecoming of a servant, I think! But as much as Julia deserved it, I think it's good because she was praised for the disturbance at the park fair.

When I heard that there were no awards in honor, I felt a little sorry for myself!

You tried so hard to shelter the minister's wife in your neighboring country?

But I was there as a samurai, so it's natural to do that.

If she was a courtier there and stood up and sheltered herself, she must have been honored.

Yes, your brother said so, but... I know that.

But Primera, as an individual, regretted it!

"Come on, Primera? Your tea's gonna get cold, right?

"Ah, yes!

Drink tea as your aunt suggests.

Yeah, delicious.

Delicious though. Tea treats, too, though.

Metabon's, tea and sweets are better.

I prefer the tea that Julia has brewed me. Love it.

What would you be doing by now?

I wonder if you and your family are talking a lot. I'm talking about Count Celeste's sister getting married, so I'm sure there's a lot going on.

There's nothing a primera can do.

What if Julia walks away from the Primera saying, 'I hope it's family'?

(That's not true!

Kaasa told me that she loved Primera.

My family matters, but I'm sure they'll tell me that Primera matters just as much.

Because I am, too.

My aunt, my father, my brother, of course... my mother-in-law.

Everyone in my family, I love it.

Kaasa, I love it.

"What's going on? Primera."

"Yeah, Primera, she said she loves Grandma!

"Oh. Thank you, I love you too."

My aunt, who gently narrows her eyes and laughs, is a lovely lady.

Can I stand beside you one day, Dean, as a lady who can act like an adult?

By then, what's going on with me and Julia?

Like now, princess and samurai? Or the lady from the Baum family and that samurai?

You told me you'd follow me even if I let you in... is Julia going to marry the Baum family first?

Um, it's full of things I don't know, but if you think about it, you'll be with me forever!

"Eh heh."

"Oh, now you're in a good mood?

"I'm sure Julia would love your auntie's gift. When I thought about it, Primera was happy too. It's what you do, Auntie, because I'm sure it's nice!

"... Primera's a good girl."

Auntie, I love those hands that make me laugh and stroke my head!

I'm sure Julia will talk a lot to me when I get back. Because you come back to Primera and say 'I'm home' to me.

So I also said, 'Welcome back. Did you have fun?' I'll greet you with a smile!
