The Reincarnated Count’s Daughter Is the Strongest as She Is Loved by the Spirits, Though She Is Only Wishing for Regular Romance! - Chapter 24.2
“Um, that’s right. Why are you alone… in a place like this? Are you lost?”
“No, that’s not it. I’m just waiting for someone to pick me up.”
“Pick you up ? Oh, Gemma, could it be that there’s some kind of entry restriction?”
“Yes, but people with errands or appointments should be allowed to come in.”
While talking with Gemma, I glance back toward the entrance. No one is approaching us, but there are a few people near the fountain and food stalls.”
“I hope someone comes to pick you up soon.”
“It’s okay… I’ll be fine since there are spirits around.”
“I see. Are you from Luftanen? Lucky you, with that black hair.”
“You think black hair is good?”
“Yeah.”
Back when I was Japanese, I used to dye my hair. But after being reincarnated, I find myself feeling nostalgic.
It’s not that I particularly want to have black hair, but when I see people with black hair walking around the city, I feel a little comforted. I wonder if I’m still carrying the past with me.
“People with golden hair are more beautiful, though.”
“Hm?”
“…It’s nothing.”
Ah, did I put a lonely expression on my face? I wonder if he was trying to comfort me.
“Thank you.”
“You heard that…”
“Fufufu…”
“Ah, isn’t that person?”
After Gemma pointed it out, I turned around and saw a Hawaiian walking alongside Brad. I mean, even without wearing Aloha attire, he still looks like he’s straight out of the Kamehameha lineage. He’s a tall, handsome guy in his forties with black hair and eyes, a bit on the hairy side with thick beard and seems like he has chest hair too.
“Ahh, I’m so glad. Sorry for keeping you waiting, Camille. ”
“It’s okay.”
He rushed over, and seemed relieved to see that Camille was safe.
“It’s dangerous to leave a child alone here. This place is visible from the harbor side too.”
If we can see over there from here, it means they can see us from over there. We’re completely exposed to the people loading cargo and those wandering around the ship.
What if there’s a cute kid standing alone and gets taken away by some creepy guy with a thing for young girls?
There must be people who mistake him for a girl like me. Some might be okay with cute boys as well, you know.
“Oh, I apologize. I’ll be more careful from now on.”
“Young lady, This is Mr. Conning from Corraine Company, a business partner of ours.”
Brad introduced him. Surprisingly, he’s a business partner of the Fairy Company. The world is small.
“Thank you for the introduction. I’m Ernst Conning from the Corraine Company.”
“I’m Diadora Abel von Velisario.”
“Velisario? The Margrave?!”
Camille stepped back with a surprised expression. It makes sense, though. I’m the child of the most important person in this region.
“This is Margrave’s young lady.”
Brad and Gemma stood between me as we talked, and after being introduced, Mr. Conning bowed slightly before going next to Camille and putting his arm around his shoulders.
“This is Camille. He is the grandson of our company president and he came to Azalea with me this time to study as well.”
“Does Corraine Company deal with nuts and almonds?”
“Yes, you’re quite well-informed.”
I have ordered some from the store to use as toppings for gelato. I believe it was written on those bags.
I’ve met many clothing-related seamstresses and cooks, but come to think of it, I haven’t met many merchants in the procurement business. If I had met them, I would have run into black hair much sooner.
“Young lady, it’s time for our reservation at the store. so we better get going.”
“Yes. Well then.”
“Oh, um, this… it got wet.”
“Don’t worry, I don’t mind at all. Just stick it on the wall of the carriage and it’ll dry out in no time.”
“…The carriage wall?”
“See you, bye-bye.”
He seemed unsure if he should give me back my wet handkerchief, so I took it with a smile, and waved as I walked away. Mr. Conning put his hand on his chest and bowed his head lightly, and Camille raised his hand to the side of his chest and waved at me a little more reservedly.
It was a pleasant meeting during our first outing, creating a memorable moment on our trip.
“I’ve come to understand what Lord Chris and Lord Alan were talking about this time.”
After getting into the carriage to return to the castle, Gemma spoke with a straight face. I was about to stick a wet handkerchief to the wall next to my chair, but when they stopped me, I had no choice but to fold it up.
“They said ’Our little sister is smart and cute, but unfortunately…’”
“Huh? What’s unfortunate about me?”
Alright, Brad-kun. Stop pretending to be uninvolved and staring out the window. You glanced at me just now, didn’t you?
“Usually, you don’t try to get the handkerchief back in that situation.”
“I only took it because it seemed like he was being considerate, not because I was trying to get it back.”
“No, you snatched it away in a quick motion. When you left him with the handkerchief, it meant that he had to come see you to give it back.”
“From Luftanen? To the castle? What a tough thing to put a child through.”
“That’s too realistic. It can also mean that even if you know you won’t be able to see each other again, please remember me.”
“I don’t want to recall making a mistake about his gender.”
“Ahhh, it’s just too bad!”
Why are you getting all worked up about it ?
“It was a wonderful meeting between a cute boy and a pretty girl!!”
You’re the one who’s far more unfortunate.
