Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

225 . The Third Princess 3

“…HA! O-oh, so it was just a dream… Hahaha, that’s right . There’s no way Micheline would do something ridiculous such as yelling at the royal princess and calling her a stupid girl…” (Marquis Mitchel)

Marquis Mitchel, who just woke up, tried to get up from the bed with a smile on his face, and…

“Unfortunately, that wasn’t a dream…” (Mitsuha)

“Eh?” (the marquis)

The marquis turned his head towards the source of the voice, and what reflected in his eyes…

“Viscount Yamano and Her Highness Princess Nereya?” (the marquis)

And after a brief moment…

“Gyaaaaaa!!!” (the marquis)

“…ah, he fainted again…” (Mitsuha)

“You foolish girl!” (the marquis)

“I—I am sorry…” (Mitchan)

The marquis yelled at Mitchan, who hung her head down .

Well, whatever the reason is, It’s bad for the daughter of the marquis to yell at the princess…

No, I think Mitchan meant to yell at me, but it just so happened that there was Princess Nereya right beside me in front of her . And since Princess Nereya was involved, it was inevitable if it appeared as she was yelling at the princess… It’d be a big deal if it went poorly, after all .

Well, the three of us know that Mitchan’s words earlier were for the [Society] ’s new member [Viscountess Nereya de Waechter] and me rather than for [The Third Princess, Nereya] . And Nereya-chan herself is aware that that was a situation where [The chairman scolded a common member of the [Society]] .

Otherwise, there’s no way Mitchan, who is just the daughter of a senior noble, could say something like that towards a princess .

…but, of course, the marquis didn’t know that…

“…do not get angry . It was my fault that the chairman got angry . I did not explain the circumstance in advance . I was in the wrong…” (Nereya-chan)

“…I—I see…” (the marquis)

The princess already said that, so the marquis shouldn’t be angry anymore .

If he keeps scolding Mitchan with this, that means he’s disregarding Princess Nereya .

And unlike Mitchan, any words from the marquis, who is not a member of the [Society], would be directed towards the princess . If somehow it went wrong, it could be seen as [words of reproach from a noble towards the princess] .

…yeah, that would be bad .

And so, it was thanks to Nereya-chan that Mitchan was able to escape the reprimand from the marquis… tte, it was Nereya-chan’s fault that she was scolded in the first place, so there is no need to be grateful, ahahaha .

Then, Nereya-chan talked about the details of the situation…

“ “Are you a demon!?” “(Mitsuha & Mitchan)

“……”

Such a devilish act towards the two elder princesses who are good people (I think) .

One wrong step, the waitress girl might end up losing her life .

Mitchan and I ended up raised our voices due to the cruelty of the situation .

And the marquis can only listen with a cramped face since he can’t say anything careless .

Really, this girl…

Ah .

“Nereya-chan, there’s one thing that I’m curious about, can I ask?” (Mitsuha)

“Un, what?” (Nereya-chan)

She only speaks the minimum necessary words as usual…

But she not only said [Un] but [What?] was also attached, I wonder if she’s being careful towards me? …tte, her level of service towards me is just to that extent!?

…well, whatever . Anyway, let’s hear the thing that I’m curious about .

“It’s about the girl that you mentioned earlier… You’ve made the necessary arrangements before you leave the royal palace and that she is not in a delicate position right now, right? You’ve explained all the plans properly and told her what to do from now on, right? Surely, she doesn’t think that you’ve abandoned her, and she’s now sinking into a pool of despair because you didn’t explain anything to her, right? And you’re not going to leave her just like that for months, right?” (Mitsuha)

“Ah…” (Nereya-chan)

Oioioioioioioioioi!

Talk about death blow!

“Go back right now!” (Mitsuha)

“……I understand…” (Nereya-chan)

Apparently, she still has [a human heart] or [a sense of guilt], at least . I’m relieved .

“ “………” “

Mitchan and the Marquis were too petrified to realize that they have escaped their crisis .

Oiii, come back…

“Whew, I was wondering what would happen…” (Mitsuha)

I let out a sigh, and maybe Mitchan and the Marquis were snapped back to reality because of it; they also heaved a big sigh .

Well, if they found out the cause of the third princess’ runaway is related to the circle that his daughter presides, and that the princess’ hiding place is his own mansion…

Yeah, it wouldn’t be weird if they think that the marquis is planning something .

If it went poorly, the survival of his house might be at stake . No matter how powerful the Marquis family is, it still has limits . And possessing power means there are enemies that oppose it . There’s no way they would miss such information…

“Aaah, I thought I’d die…” (the marquis)

The marquis said something like the main character of an action movie would say, but it is natural if he feels that way . It really is not strange to die socially…

“So, Mitsuha, you’ll do the follow-up measures properly, right?” (Mitchan)

And then Mitchan said so .

“O-of course!!” (Mitsuha)

Right, at this rate, the royal family’s [3 intimate sisters] would end up at each other’s throats . If it went poorly, it could be a big scandal for the royal family . And to prevent it…

“I will provide cosmetics to the first and second princesses…” (Mitsuha)

“To the queen as well!! Otherwise, it will rain blood!!” (Mitchan)

“Ah, right…” (Mitsuha)

Certainly…

Besides, although I wanted to get back at the king, I don’t have any grudge against the queen or the princesses, and I don’t want to see their family ruined because of me…

Then the marquis, who was listening to our conversation, murmured with his eyes wide open .

“C-could it be, the third princess had thought this far ahead and did something like this for the sake of the elder princesses and the queen? Ooh, how family-loving! And what a brilliant strategist she is!!” (the marquis)

“ “That’s not true, absolutely!” “(Mitchan & Mitsuha)

My voice was synchronized with Mitchan’s .

Yeah, that is certainly not the case .

Though she has a scheming personality, she is more or less a natural airhead . It only happens to be this way .

She simply wanted to make her own wish come true without any malice and implemented the best method she had come up with . Still, heedless of causing inconveniences to her surroundings .

And because she was thinking rashly, she had caused enormous damage .

That is what people call [a Jinx]…
