The Reincarnated Count’s Daughter Is the Strongest as She Is Loved by the Spirits, Though She Is Only Wishing for Regular Romance! - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 : Cheat skills and radio exercises

When I turned two years old, I realized something unbelievable, even though it’s already too late. In this world, there’s no TV or internet. So the big question is what to do in your free time. Chess was an option.

There are books too. Although they were not printed, it seems that someone’s drawing is transferred using magic. Of course, protection magic is applied so that it cannot be transferred without permission. Books for nobles to read are considered luxury items because paper is expensive, while books for commoners resemble magazines and are made with yellowed, rough paper.

Working while the sun is up, and once it’s dark, heading out with friends to drink, getting drunk, and then going to bed early. After that, waking up early the next day to work once more, that’s the daily life of commoners.

For nobles, instead of working, they use their time to cultivate themselves, participate in tea parties, evening gatherings, and ballroom dances. And, well, if they have a family, there are various ways to spend their evenings, right?”

you see, what can you expect from a two-year-old ? The two-year-old can only eat dinner, gets a little storybook reading, and then even though they’ve been napping during the day and aren’t really sleepy, they already need to go to sleep. So, they just lie in bed, all restless and fussy.

While increasing my magical power to the spirits, I would reach out to try and catch them, only for them to escape repeatedly, as a way to pass the time. I didn’t really have any intention of catching them seriously. If it seemed like I was about to catch one, I would stop chasing, and it seemed like they understood that too, so they would change their speed and fly away.

“Huh ?”

On that day, I had trouble falling asleep, so I played with the spirits. I lay on my back and reached my hand out into the air. Then, suddenly, something flashed.It made a “ping” sound, and like something out of an old science fiction movie, a transparent board-like object appeared in the air, and a row of letters lined up there. To put it more simply, it felt like only the screen part of a tablet was floating in the air.

“Wow. So nostalgic. It’s Japanese.”

That’s right. There were Japanese letters lined up in order starting from “?” (A). As a test, I entered “Azelia Empire,” and it appeared, all in a row. Information about its establishment, subsequent history, industry, arts, and details about the emperors over the years. There were also links that allowed you to navigate the information about the nobility.

Ah, this is Wiki*pedia, isn’t it? A cheat, perhaps? A cheat skill? Is this the reincarnation of the strongest type of protagonist in another world!

I won’t fight, though!

I won’t do any domestic affairs either!

Because it’s strange, right? Why would they give me something like this and send me into reincarnation?

Let’s leave the affairs of this world to the people of this world and let them develop it. Or what? Were the great people of Earth actually reincarnated in other worlds too? Is that how the world goes around?

I want to live peacefully, stay healthy, and meet a wonderful husband. This time, for sure! 

Last time, I didn’t even have a proper love life! My significant other was from the two-dimensional world! I’m not crying, okay!

I couldn’t go beyond the screen, but now that I’ve been reincarnated into another world with lots of attractive people around, I just need to secure one of them.

Is there a skill like throwing a stone and if it hits someone, they become yours or something like that?

That’s better than Wiki*pedia. I just need one person. One person is enough. I know, they have the right to choose on the other side too. Damn it!!

Anyway, I want to get married, have children, and this time show my parents their grandchildren. And I want to live a long life. I want to spend my old age peacefully. It’s not the time to use cheats and fight. Achieving a happy marriage and a peaceful retirement is unexpectedly quite a high hurdle, you know.

Well, I’ll just gladly accept what I can get. It gives me something to read in my free time, and it should help me remember Japanese, even though I might not have a chance to use it.

So, I researched about the Azelia Empire and was surprised. Currently, the ruler of the country is Empress Ephenia. She is just 28 years old. When the previous emperor passed away, Ephenia-sama was only 17 years old. As for her younger brother, he is still only five years old.

Normally, there would be a regent appointed to help the younger brother ascend to the throne, but in the Azelia Empire, the status of women is relatively high, and there is a historical precedent with about three female empresses who have ruled the country in the past.

Furthermore, Empress Ephenia is an exceptionally talented individual. She noticed the moves of other countries trying to expand their borders while the internal affairs of the empire were in turmoil due to the emperor’s succession. She declared herself as the empress and took action to eliminate those with outdated ideas, demonstrating strong leadership to unite the country.

The person who became the right-hand man for someone like her was General Maximilian, who was not only her husband but also the second son of a former marquis. Our country’s only general is a beautiful and strong man who, after falling in love with the empress, became the commander-in-chief of the imperial army. He led the army against invading foreign nations at the border and defeated them all, actually expanding our territory in the process. He was a great warrior who did it all for the sake of his beloved empress.

While the empress was unable to move during her pregnancy, there were times when he sat on the throne in her place. His political capability was also highly praised. However, he always maintained that his role was to protect the nation, so refrain himself from intervening in politics on a regular basis.

In Wikipedia, there are even photos, you know. I wish they would tell me who took them and how, but anyway, he’s quite a handsome man, and he’s tall too. In the photos where he’s standing next to the empress, her head only reaches about his chest.

Those muscles from fighting with foreigners and as military personnel are impressive, aren’t they? Some of them have biceps as thick as a woman’s thigh. He has that rugged, strong look, and yet he seems to be head over heels for the empress, even with his tough demeanor.

As for the empress, she’s a strong-willed beauty with gorgeous red hair. Could she possibly be a tsundere?

What a perfect couple, right? You could write at least three doujinshi about them. But personally, I’m not a fan of too much muscle, you know. I prefer someone slender with just the right amount of muscle.

It can be lonely when there are no East Asian people around, especially when you still have a Japanese sensibility. It would be nice to casually see someone with a “soy-sauce face”^[1]. Well, being a two-year-old, even if there were a handsome man around, they probably wouldn’t notice you. Anyway, thanks to you, our country is currently in a stable condition.

It seems unlikely that any country would want to start a war when the empress handles the politics and the general takes care of the physical aspects, ready to crush any nation that causes trouble. Everyone seems to prefer peaceful trade instead.

I also did some research on Margrave Verisario. Since the Margrave rules over a place that borders a foreign country, they are allowed to have vast territories and a strong military presence. They hold a crucial position in defending the border, which makes their position quite influential.

Moreover, even though we are called Margrave, it’s not exactly a border. We have the sea to the west and south, so we also have a navy and major ports. To the south, there’s the large island nation of Ruftanen, and to the west, across the strait, is the Kingdom of Shtark. While it may be the frontline in times of war, it’s currently the frontline of trade.

Furthermore, because the climate is warm throughout the year, it becomes a summer resort and attracts people from all over the country. In other words, it becomes a social gathering during the summer. It’s no wonder the imperial family holds it in high regard.

The Verisario territory is also a major producer of tea. Not Japanese tea, though, but black tea. And I do know that the difference between black tea and green tea is the level of fermentation.

It’s good, right ? Japanese tea and Hojicha. And then, matcha!

No, that’s fine. Even if the information is available on wiki-kun, let’s not start a new industry, okay ? Just make some for yourself. Let’s get back to the topic then.

With responsibilities at the imperial palace and social engagements, it’s difficult to govern such a vast territory on your own, right? That’s why the land is divided among several barons, viscounts, knights, and in the cities, you’ve appointed local lords to manage them. In conclusion, the imperial family is like the head office of a business, and my family is like a regional branch manager, I suppose.

Moreover, since we run a large branch office in a big city, the executive team respects and values you greatly. However, if we were to do something unusual, we would naturally be fired. In that case, for the nobles in my territory, the Verisario family is their direct lord. Our mansion was large enough to be called a castle.

Well, I was blown away when I saw the blueprint.

The gradual slope from the port to my home, with a circuitous path around the hill and the presence of a castle wall, would indeed provide a strong defense against potential attacks.

Within that area lies the noble district with their mansions, and there’s yet another set of walls inside which stands a sprawling castle on an extensive estate.

Inside the estate, there are numerous buildings, including the castle itself, dormitories for the knightly orders that protect us, and training grounds. There’s even a riding arena and a substantial space designated for parking carriages alone, occupying quite a large area.

Just as the prominent nobles want their children to become aides or ladies-in-waiting to the imperial family. Even in our household, noble children are often seen around my older siblings. Since I’m only two years old, I probably have a couple more peaceful years ahead of me.

But it seems that when I turn ten, I’ll have to attend a school near the imperial capital during the winter, so it looks like I’ll have more responsibilities then. It might be a good idea to build up my strength before that time comes.

Time has flown, and I’ve turned three years old. I am Diadora, the problem child of the Verisario family. I mean, with a name like Diadora, I’m practically a villain, right? But it’s okay. Just because my name sounds like a villain doesn’t mean I’ll mistreat the maids. Because Dana and Cynthia are both bright and adorable, and I want them to be by my side for a long time, so I won’t bully them or anything like that.

The problem is that normal young ladies have a limited range of activities. If I were a boy, I probably wouldn’t be worried to this extent, but since I have two older brothers, there were dreams and hopes for a girl. However I’ve managed to crush those dreams quite spectacularly. Hahaha… sigh.

I was told not to run in the hallway, so I’ve been running outside.

I also thought carefully about where I could sprint at full speed without tripping, and I discovered the knight’s training facility beyond the central courtyard. I decided to borrow a corner of the spacious outdoor training grounds.

Even my older brothers practice swordplay there, so running shouldn’t be a problem, right? But whenever I move, there’s at least one maid or butler with me. Also two or more guards following closely behind.

Even though I said “butler,” it’s actually Rex, the ten-year-old grandson of my Father’s head butler. While my older brothers have butlers in their late teens with some experience, there’s Rex, who’s still a kid. Since I won’t have a job in the future and we have many maids, he’s there for situations when a male presence is needed, I guess. He seems to be in the middle of receiving proper training, though.

It’s a bit tough for him, isn’t it? Being a ten-year-old boy that needs to look after a three-year-old girl. I think he probably wants to become a butler for someone like Big Brother Alan. It would be more rewarding for his future, right? However, he doesn’t make unpleasant faces, treats me with respect, He also listens to my thoughts carefully, He’s a good guy.

It’s an exaggeration to have two guards even though it’s inside the castle, but I think it’s probably because if I do something reckless and one of them has to carry me, they’ll need another guard with free hands to assist.

I’m sorry, I just wanted to explore what’s inside the castle to see what it’s like. Now that I can move around, I sometimes forget that I’m just a three-year-old.

Before I know it, I find myself stuck in a ditch, or I slip and slide across the grass, getting scrapes and bruises. It’s all part of growing up, I guess. But, every time that happens, my mother and the maids scream, then make a fuss.

Look, even without all the fuss, the water spirits can heal me with their magic.

Today, I went to the daily training grounds with Dana, Rex, and two guards. I make sure to do warm-up exercises so I don’t get injured. Although, I’m not quite sure what kind of exercises are best.

Isn’t the purpose of physical education to make children enjoy sports and exercise? They should teach exercises that you can do at home every day to prevent adult diseases when you grow up. I don’t understand why they teach it in a way that makes kids hate exercise. Personally, I used to despise it.

But now, I’ve come to understand the difficulty of starting exercise as an adult, and I realize the importance of exercise. It feels like I’ve shortened my lifespan because of not exercising. In this new life, I plan to make daily exercise a habit from childhood, build both muscle and stamina, so that I won’t find it a burden to keep moving as an adult.

So, what were we talking about again? Ah, warm-up exercises. That’s something every Japanese citizen knows. Radio exercises first. I remember doing it before physical education class countless times.

When you stretch, stretch as much as you can, and when you bend your knees, make sure that the angle and direction of your knees are correct.This is a well-thought-out exercise that loosens the muscles in your body and makes you sweat.

“Diadora-sama, the exercises you usually do, what is it ?”

After about a month of using the training grounds, one of the knights asked me this.

“Warm-up.”

“Wow. This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of exercise. Did you think of it yourself?”

“…..Well, kinda?”

“May I join you and try it as well?”

“Eh ?”

“Why, why, why? Am I doing movements that make you worried like that?”

Oh, are you interested in Dana ? She’s adorable, after all.

There are also girls among the knights, right ?

But they’re kids who want to be knights, so they have tall and strong bodies with short hair. And then a cute girl in a maid outfit comes along, of course they want to get to know her better. That’s right, I understand!

“It seems like that exercise is very reasonable.”

“Really ?”

“Yes. Please teach me by all means.”

Oh, you were serious. My apologies. Even at three years old, my mind was a bit tainted.

“First, stretching! One, two. Next, do it like this with your hands.”

I don’t want to use difficult words because I don’t want to talk too much. So, I’ll just show how to do it, and he can learn by watching.

“No, legs. That’s wrong.”

If you’re going to do it, do it properly. When you stretch, stretch your whole body. But I must say, the knights have good physiques, and they’re all so big. Their average height must be around 180 centimeters, right? What’s with that? It’s scary.

“This is pretty good.”

“Huh? Is that the kind of exercise it is?”

It seems that when a three-year-old does it, their short arms and legs make it hard to understand the movements, so some curious knights gathered to watch when they saw adults doing it. That’s strange. Children in this world seem to grow faster than Japanese children. It might be a racial difference, but I think Japanese children are around five years old when they reach this stage of development.

Oh, five-year-olds are still in kindergarten, right? Well, that makes sense then. No matter how seriously they try to do it, it’s going to look different from when adults do it.

“My body is starting to warm up. Especially in winter, isn’t it a good idea to do this before training?”

“Someone, please learn from Diadora-sama and master it!”

Wait ?

Eh ? Are the Knights going to use this?

In other words, the first thing I introduced since I was reincarnated into this world is radio exercises ?

NO WAY????I DON’T LIKE THAT ????

1. “soy-sauce face” – A guy with that has a characteristically “Japanese-looking” face with long narrow eyes, a straight nose, and a small-thin face.?
