219. In the Royal Capital

I was forcibly dragged into the mansion, taken to the bath together with Beatrice-chan, washed by the maids, dressed up, groomed, forced to eat dinner… and forced to stay overnight.

Actually, I wanted to go back to the [general store Mitsuha], transfer to my house in Japan, and take a bath slowly… since there wasn’t such a luxury during the trip… well, having a bath at Bozes’ mansion is enough, I guess.

But, being washed by the maids is a little bit…

And then, of course, that came.

“I’ve been waiting for you in the store. Why didn’t you come!!” (Sabine-chan)

Yeah, Sabine-chan’s information network and her dubious [Mitsuha-neesama Watch-keeping Corps] should’ve completely grasped my arrival in the royal capital.

…there’s no way she wouldn’t come…

And Sabine-chan, who knew that there’s only Beatrice-chan at Bozes’ mansion, was brimming with intentions to sleep over like it was natural.

Sabine-chan seemed to have grasped that information in advance, but she had guessed that Beatrice-chan would stay with me at the [general store Mitsuha]… however she guessed it wrongly.

Sabine-chan would definitely prefer to stay at [general store Mitsuha] where there are games, DVDs, fan, heater, refrigerator, and stoves, so she seemed to think Beatrice-chan would naturally prefer that way too…

I see, so Sabine-chan thinks Beatrice-chan has also been taught all the useful tools of the Earth…

Well, it’s because she knew that the mansion in the rock island is just for Beatrice Company’s publicity and that Beatrice-chan’s permanent office is at my territory residence, I suppose.

Ah, this is bad, I must explain the situation to Sabine-chan who seems to be misunderstanding things before she talks about troublesome things…

And when Beatrice-chan left her seat, I explained the circumstances to Sabine-chan.

“Eeeh!! You should’ve told me that before!! That was close… But I see, you barely told her anything…” (Sabine-chan)

Yeah, I didn’t tell Beatrice-chan about the Earth. All I’ve told her were just [the secret art of migration] and the products that a little more advanced than the countries around here. The upper limit is up to the fan.

The electric fan is just a spinning device, and the shape of the blade can easily explain the reason why it can blow winds, so it’s not something strange except [the power that rotates the blade].

“I see…” (Sabine-chan)

Sabine-chan, who learned that I’ve barely told Beatrice-chan anything, has a surprised and somewhat complicated look on her face.

Well, the two of them have been friends since long before they met me. Now that both of them have made friends with Colette-chan, so maybe she thought that there would be the three of them from now on.

However, if I tell Beatrice-chan everything, the chances of reaching Count Bozes are too high.

No, it doesn’t mean that Beatrice-chan would tell him or betray me. I mean, in case she unintentionally talked about it, or in case that she would take the burnt side for my sake.

She doesn’t have to worry if she doesn’t know anything, and I don’t want troubles coming for her because she knew about something…

Yes, it’s what they say that [There are things in the world that you better off not knowing].

And, with Beatrice-chan who came back, the three of us had a girls-only gathering.

After that, we changed place to the bedroom and have a pajama party.

…we’re not wearing pajamas, but nightclothes, well, it’s similar enough.

Sabine-chan sometimes stuttered because she tried not to leak about the Earth or the DVD and the likes, but we had a good night. It was the first time for this members to spend a night together. So Beatrice-chan and Sabine-chan had high tensions…

The next day, I left Beatrice-chan who insisted on me to stay and went to [general store Mitsuha].

No, there’s something I have to do, so it can’t be helped.

Even so, she didn’t let me leave until lunchtime…

And of course, Sabine-chan was sticking to me when I was about to leave. So, Beatrice-chan was even more strongly preventing me from leaving.

…But it’s troubling if Sabine-chan continues following me around. After this, I’ll have to go to the new continent to replenish the merchandise…

I haven’t been there for more than ten days, so I think Rephilia Trade is about to be out of stock soon, and of course, the new affiliated companies in neighboring countries too.

Especially, unlike the rock-solid Rephilia Trade, now is an essential phase for the emerging merchants in the surrounding countries, so I can’t let them run out of stock.

And it’s still a secret to the King that I’m building a base in the Vanel Kingdom, the homeland of the invasion fleet. So, I haven’t officially told Sabine-chan either.

…well, Sabine-chan might’ve figured something out to some extent. Otherwise, there’s no way Sabine-chan would [secretly study the new continent’s language]. And, of course, she knew that I’m always taking Colette-chan with me everywhere I go.

There’s no way Sabine-chan would miss that information.

But there’s a vast difference between guessing it based on the information she dug and hearing it clearly from me.

In the latter case, if she were to comply with the royal duty to give top priority to the interests of the country and the people, not as [My friend, Sabine-chan] but as [The Third Princess, Her Highness Sabine], then I have to tell the King as well.

If it’s the former, then there’s no need for her to do that, because it was just a [fantasy] that she had imagined…

Well, that’s why, although I’m sure she found out about it, Sabine-chan didn’t dare to poke that topic, and perhaps she decided to pretend that she doesn’t know anything.

And I decided to pretend that I haven’t noticed anything too. That’s what adults do.

So I have to turn her away here cleverly.

However, I don’t think she would yield that easily…

“Neesama, will you go to the Kingdom of Vanel after this? I will go with you too!!” (Sabine-chan)

…there goes my plan!

It turns out that Sabine-chan’s deep consideration only existed in my fantasy.

That’s right, what am I expecting~. Even though Sabine-chan is a smart and caring child, in the end, she still just a child~. Of course, she would be honest with her own desires…

Moreover, there’s a precedent called Colette-chan, so there’s no way she would be reserved at this point~.

Sabine-chan will definitely put up with it if she thinks that she can’t be unreasonable about it. However, when it comes to things like this, she would never yield and would never give up. So when she learned that Colette-chan is going to the new continent with me all the time, she couldn’t help it anymore.

And the only reason that I could use to refuse her, that is [because Colette-chan can speak the local language, but Sabine-chan can’t speak], has been crushed in advance.

…it’s hopeless. I can’t do anything about this…

So that’s how Sabine-chan ended up sticking with me doing various things I had planned before returning to the territory with the transport corps.

Well, I have given Colette-chan a mission to [protect the territory during my absence], and have her practice for the future, so I guess this is fine. It would be difficult in various ways if the first-timer Sabine-chan goes there together with Colette-chan, who is already accustomed to the new continent, so now might be just the right time for Sabine-chan’s debut there.

…no, I had no intention of debuting her on the new continent at all, though…

Well, it can’t be helped…

That’s why, after we took a short break at the [general store Mitsuha]…

“Alright, are you ready?” (Mitsuha)

“Yup!!” (Sabine-chan)

…transfer!!
