The plain and unnoticed me is no more

Good morning, Miss Elaine.

I woke up with a familiar voice.

He narrowed his eyes without noticing the dazzling morning sun coming in through the window.

I still didn't feel clear, but I felt uncomfortable with the situation. The sheets that touch the skin feel smooth, the futon is fluffy and very light.

And right in front of my eyes are the Loco furniture I've been using since I was a kid. And the floral curtains filled with frills were hanging on the day I left home.

……

I felt blood coming from my whole body. I was suddenly struck by the feeling of being pulled back into reality by my own side service in the room that I was supposed to have thrown away.

Were all the happy and fulfilling days in that inn dreams?

I was confused because I didn't know whether I was sleeping or where I was dreaming.

However, despite my mood, the two sidekicks are busily moving around the room.

"Ladies, you're early in the morning. You're already awake. You're moving your body in the garden."

"Ladies....?

"Well! Hello, are you asleep? I am referring to the customer who came with my daughter last night. I know it's a tough situation, but I'm really glad you're back for a while."

Yes, I was forcibly brought back to my house by every member of the inn because of last night's commotion.

Until the kidnapping ended, it was a message from my grandfather that the business should be suspended and everyone should be evacuated to the Mansion, but I don't think Chiyo and I should have brought Shin and Taki, who live in other houses anyway.

The owner of the first inn is me and has nothing to do with the Duke of Norris, but it is a little too strong to do this without giving me time to think.

I know you're worried about me, but I need you to explain what you're going to do anyway.

Last night we were greeted by the butler, the maid and the two sidekicks who were originally with me. And it was just Luke Oniisama who came home.

Since the time of arrival was after midnight, she went straight to the room she had prepared and went to bed, and she hasn't met her parents or grandpa yet.

By the way, the sleeping Chiyo was eventually put to bed in the guest room without waking up. I'm sure when I woke up in the morning I panicked more than I did.

"I had an unexpected chance to reunite with my family, but I wanted to introduce everyone at the inn when I was more calm...."

Out of bed, I opened the window and looked out before washing my face.

Then I found Sin practicing sword with Luke Oniisama on the lawn.

Sin!

My voice came out unexpectedly. After hearing my voice, oniisama and Shin stopped moving and looked at me.

When Singh noticed me waving through the third floor window, he laughed and looked back. My cheeks feel kind of relaxed and unconscious.

Oniisama next door is in a state of restlessness, but let's just say she didn't see it.

When I was acting like a prostitute, I didn't scream nauseously or touch the eyes of a man while I was sleeping. I'm sure I've never seen you so alive, oniisama must be confused.

"Ah! Lana!

"Chiyo! Taki! Good morning!"

Chiyo and Taki also noticed me and waved loudly. I waved to both of them with a smile.

Apparently they were sitting on a bench in the garden supporting Singh.

There are three people I've loved among the scenery I've seen since I was a kid. It felt strange, but I was kind of happy.

Looking back, the sidekicks opened their mouths and looked at me. After all, it seems that they are confused by the vegetarian I show them for the first time.

Then I hurried to get dressed.

Of course, I don't use makeup here. I also wore it by choosing what to wear from what I left behind.

This dark blue long skirt is a ruffled white blouse with a petticoat and volume. It is my classic style to wrap the thin ribbon around my hair as if it were a kachusha and make the top a butterfly rash.

I am now the Duchess of Elaine Norris, plain and discreet to everyone.

"Oh? Miss, please put on a nice pendant you've never seen before. Hello, is this a gift from a gentleman in the garden?

What?

The sidekick looked at my hanging pendant and looked a little chilly.

"I've been worried about you since last night. The young lady didn't wear many accessories, but she didn't take them off when she was off. Which one of you is your daughter's lover? I think it would be better if I were beautiful and kind."

"Oh, I think I'm a tall and successful man. I mean, when I saw your daughter last night, my eyes were kind."

"Hey... stop!

Your face is hot because you say weird things already. Speaking of which, there was something slightly similar between the two of them. I love other people's love bananas.

"Unfortunately neither of them is a lover, and this pendant is a reflection of Alford's great-grandmother. I usually hide it under my clothes because it gets in the way of my work, but I wanted to show it to my mother today."

You thought you could finally hear me talk about love, and they looked a little boring. I hope you'll let me know one day, but it looks like we're still ahead.

When they went out to the garden, the four gathered on the bench and chatted amusely. And why is Oniisama and Shin shaking hands and hugging each other?

"Good morning, Oniisama Luke. Fufu, you've already figured it out while I'm resting."

"Good morning, Lana. Ah... yes, I got along perfectly. Is he really a cook? I'm surprised you and I can cross each other with swords. Oops, it's time for everyone to gather in the cafeteria. I'll see you at breakfast."

Oniisama's condition is strange. He didn't keep an eye on me properly, and he entered the Mansion looking dumb and fleeing.

Are you hiding something from me?

"... weird oniisama. Let's go to the cafeteria."

Then Chiyo and Taki laughed. When they asked what was going on, they didn't answer, and when they turned to Singh, Singh walked toward the stadium and the Mansion.

"Hey, Sin. Luke, what happened with oniisama?

"... nothing. Taki and I were practicing swords, and he was challenging me."

"Huh? What do you mean?

What are you thinking of fighting Singh, who's just started learning swordsmanship? Oniisama, who belongs to the Knights, must win.

I knew oniisama was teaching Singh. It looked like that from the room, but it was really a tough fight. Run away from me for a reason.

"Maybe you wanted to make sure you could protect your sister when something like yesterday happened. I don't really know, but you admit it to me."

"I'm sorry, it's rude to try you. Oniisama is already in trouble. We need to be very careful later."

And when we arrived at the cafeteria, we received a slightly melancholy welcome from our mother and father.
