After talking to the Marquis I was blurry and sighing when I saw the pile of gifts in the given room.
The brooch that came out of the little box is another luxury item. I mean, it's already... No, it's already... Yeah, even though a gift is very useful 'visible' evidence for the Marquis Nashanda to express her fondness for Viscount Fundid's warrant in a kind sense.
(If I became an adopted daughter, my surroundings would think that was for preparation... and if I did, it would be in the form of showing respect for me as a business partner)
It's really hard when asked what to choose.
If you and your brother-in-law can be sisters, that's a lie.
But what about the family?
Wouldn't it be easier for me to meet the heads of the Gender Chamber of Commerce if I became Marquis?
I know it's good to be the lead samurai as it is, but wouldn't it create a distance between me and everyone else?
All those unknown things that come to mind, they disappear and repeat.
(I wonder why Aldar... won't tell me anything)
There's something I can't tell you, but I'll talk to you someday.
Yes, Aldar said it to me before, but it makes me nervous to wonder if it indicated this. Other than this, I just don't know... I understand that there are more things I don't know, but still, I get terribly anxious to think that I'm being decided on my own without knowing anything.
(I'll talk to you someday, when is that?
But you promised to talk to me, but is it something you can stick to from me?
If you did that, wouldn't you waste his efforts that I don't know, that I don't have to know?
The Marquis said we should discuss it.
Even though it's definitely about me, I can't help but feel comfortable outside the mosquito net knowing I don't know and am protected.
"Discuss, or..."
What can I ask you? If they say again that I can't talk right now, should I pull in with it?
Even though it's about me, I just sigh because I can't objectively determine what to do.
Between sighs so sick of counting again and again, I get annoyed when I hear knocks.
I shouldn't, I wonder how depressed I was.
"... Yes"
"Excuse me, Julia. Um, it's dinner time, so I picked you up!
"Thank you, Maina"
"No! Huh, that's kind of weird. Julia, I've seen your maid look many times already, but now it looks like I'm serving you!
"It must be Primera that Maina serves."
"It is. One day, if Julia wants to go to her daughter-in-law and recruit a samurai, she wants to go with me."
"Huh?"
Maina is turning her face bright red in the atmosphere she's trying to laugh at.
It's not like I didn't hear what they just said.
But you mean it was unexpected.
"Maina......?
"I know! I haven't told you anything yet, Julia, and nobody knows what lies ahead, do they? It's just that I take it personally!
"... thanks. Well, I think it would be very comforting to have you around one day."
"Yes!
"But now, Primera, I want to be one of those people who still serves me well, including myself. I don't think so."
"No! Um, sorry, I said something weird all of a sudden..."
"It's okay."
No one knows what's ahead.
That's what they said. I kind of feel like I'm here too.
Maina doesn't know. Even in the future, I put it into words by properly portraying the future I want. Whatever my reply was, it conveyed my thoughts.
In fact, I can't tell Maina anything but a word of gratitude when I hear her.
Because, like she said, I don't know the future.
If you married Aldar, I don't know how I can hire her for dowry with the Baum family... and it doesn't matter if she finds it more rewarding than her royal castle maid job because she hired her.
But that's not what this is about, is it?
"Thank you, Maina"
"? Yes!
"I'll write to you later so I can ask you to arrange for me to get it out first thing tomorrow morning."
"Yes, I did!
"And I hope you're well. A little less loud."
"... haha..."
Maina, who looks just a little stubborn in my attention, was still smiling.
She invited me to laugh like that, and when I got to the dining room, Primera rounded my eyes, but, well, he's the one who loves you, isn't he?
"What's going on? Looks like we both have some fun!
"No, because I scolded Maina for my usual habits."
"Really?
"I shouldn't have spoken out now, but I did. So I went crazy..."
"Julia and Maina are close! I don't think Grandpa Lewis would have said anything if he was in the mansion, even if they were doing what they always do! I prefer Primera."
"Thank you, Primera."
Primera reached out to us with a full grin.
Are you lazier than when you're in the royal castle, proof that even if you hold on as a princess, your feathers are stretching somewhat?
"But you can't leave me alone, can you?
Always as a samurai, Maina snuck up on me saying I was just a little dissatisfied if I wasn't nearby, and I was already adorable and adorable when Primera pointed me in the mouth.
Why is this kid so cute! Because you are a primera, I know!!
"Of course, Primera."
"... we'll spend a little less time together, but I'm glad you called us names that way, so I wonder which is better"
"Well, I also find it difficult when asked which one is better"
"Ugh, you're with me!... and Uncle Lewis, you were just here... and a sudden customer left, and he hasn't come back yet."
"Well, did you"
I'm sure it's weird not having the Lord even though it's supper.
It's not like Primera was so cute she lost it!!
"I'm sure you're a valued customer, we'll just have to talk and wait here"
"Right. Speaking of which, we'll have tea in the garden tomorrow! Uncle Lewis told me you were good too!
"Yes, then have a warm outfit..."
"No more! Julia's not a samurai now!
Primera laughed at me for inadvertently bringing my plans for preparation to mind at the usual rate. Uh, yeah, I want you to forgive me because it's a habit as a samurai that is creeping up on me!!
"... while at Marquis Nashanda's residence, I want to do things that Julia and I couldn't"
"A lot, so, are you there?
"Eh, embroidery or a walk with me, something I want you to be next to, not behind me! I'd really like to go shopping in town, but that's just not good. Uncle Lewis said..."
"Then why don't you call the merchant again"
Though then I feel a gender meeting will be called.
Well, I don't know because the Marquis has one idea around there.
But when it does, I'm sure Primera will love it!
Talking like that, the Marquis was returned and gave a fluffy, gentle grin as usual.
"I'm sorry, you kept the ladies waiting. The merchants in and out arrived earlier than planned, so we were finishing our business."
"Well, you did!
"We're going to have you come back later, so we'll have Primera bring you some rare items."
"Thank you, Uncle Lewis!
The Marquis also deepened his grin at Primera, who gave him a glorious smile.
Primera, with one of your smiles, the world will surely be at peace.
That much destructiveness......!!
My problem is also solved thanks to Maina and Primera's smile...... I wish I could!
