The Reincarnated Count’s Daughter Is the Strongest as She Is Loved by the Spirits, Though She Is Only Wishing for Regular Romance! - Chapter 25.2
“I will be responsible for protecting you all tomorrow.”
“Will Margrave Noland also be going to Kamui Volcano?”
“Of course. There’s no choice but to go when you have the chance to meet the Spirit King.”
The welcome party was held in a grand manner using the large hall and terrace. Big Brother Alan and I will participate in the afternoon party. I have to be an adult to attend the evening party.
Everyone in the Norland territory is tall, and many men are over two meters in height. Even the women, most are over 180 centimeters. They’re so tall that I can pass through between their legs.
Even if you look at Margrave Norland wondering if this person is an old man, He still looks young and he still seems to be very popular with the ladies.
When he was young, whenever he heard that a magical beast had appeared near the city, he would take his beloved sword and go out to slay it.
“Even though my son has already manifested a spirit beast, I still don’t have enough magical power. It’s because I didn’t increase my magical power because I relied on a sword. I’m considering retiring soon and leaving the rest to my son, perhaps becoming an adventurer.”
What does it mean to retire and become an adventurer?
That’s strange, isn’t it?
“I’m looking forward to tomorrow.”
Many aristocrats from various regions, not just Norland, will be heading to the Kamui Volcano tomorrow.
While everyone is bringing adventurers and escorts along, Margrave Noland is the only one who insists on taking up the role of an escort. As for me and Big Brother Alan, we have spirit beasts, so an escort isn’t necessary.
“Please also look forward to the spirit carriage. It won’t shake.”
“Is it really okay for us to borrow the spirit beasts?”
“Yes, it’s fine since they’ll run alongside us.”
Not even 10% of these people are heading to Kamui Volcano. While some are excited and looking forward to it, there are quite a few who seem anxious.
I’m anxious too. Even though the spirits are there to protect us, I’d prefer not to get too close to danger if possible. Since my main goal is to live a long life, I only need to catch a glimpse of the magical beasts from afar. So, please stay away from me.
After finally finishing greeting the adults that I was meeting for the first time, my father led me to the corner where Big Brother Alan and the children were gathering.
Big Brother Alan went to the terrace where boys gather. I guess boys and girls gather separately everywhere. And boys like to be outside.
I approached the table where the girls were gathered. They were talking in several groups while eating delicious-looking sweets.
Well, I wonder who is the daughter of the highest-ranking aristocrat here. I’ve learned quite a bit about the people involved in Ruri’s area, but this is the first time I’ve been in Suho’s area, so there are so many unfamiliar faces that it’s hard to tell.
As I was looking around at the girls, my eyes met one of them. That gorgeous redhead must be from the estate near the center.
Her large eyes with upward corners gave the impression that she was strong-willed, and she sat with her back straight, sitting shallowly in her chair. Although her face was still young, her expression was completely mature.
As soon as I entered the hall, Gemma told me the names of the children that I should remember.
If I remember correctly, that girl is the daughter of a duke that the previous emperor’s younger sister married. She must be the daughter of the highest-ranking family in this place.
She noticed me too, and took the trouble to get up and approach me. But she stood a little distance from me and looked at me silently.
Huh? It is possible, are you being cocky?
But it doesn’t look like that. She seems restless, and the fan in her hand is flapping anxiously. She averts her gaze but sneakily glances over here, so I tilted my head, wondering what’s going on.
As she looks around as if seeking help, her cheeks blush slightly. Oh, could it be?
“Um…”
The moment I called out to her, she turned around with her cheeks bright red and her eyes were moist. Oh no, did I accidentally initiate a situation where I should have been the one to start the conversation?!
“Excuse me !”
While repeating it again, she gets closer with a hesitant step and covers her mouth with the fan.
“You’re the duke’s daughter, aren’t you? That’s why I was waiting to hear from you.”
“What are you talking about? Isn’t Margrave Velisario a family equivalent to a duke, second only to the emperor? Excluding the imperial family, please speak to us first.”
Whoa! That’s right. But it didn’t feel real at all!
However, that doesn’t mean I can call out to just anyone. The margrave is my father, not me. It’s okay to talk to anyone if you’re talking to children, but if you’re talking to an adult, there are a lot of complicated rules.
It’s already too much of a hassle, so at times like this, let’s just form a line and quickly go through the greetings.
I feel bad for this girl, she’s turning bright red.
“My name is Patricia from the Duke of Goodfollow family.”
Patricia-chan took a step back and greeted me, with her cheeks flushed all the way to her ears.
“I’m Diadora from the Velisario Margrave family. Patricia-sama.”
“Yes ?”
“Cute.”
“Huh ?!”
“You’re so cute! Please be my friend!”
“Eh? Oh, yes.”
As I said while taking a step forward, she leaned back slightly. But with this cuteness, who wouldn’t want to be her friend?
The girl with a strong-willed look and upturned eye corners, giving off an honor student vibe, was now blushing deeply with teary eyes.
S-O C-U-T-E !
“Ah, Carla-sama.”
“Well, Patricia-sama… Diadora-sama, what’s happening?”
“Huh? Patricia-sama is so cute that I just couldn’t help it.”
“I understand your feelings, but Patricia-sama seems to be troubled.”
I see. So, you two know each other. I guess she went to the Marquis Johannes territory for a summer vacation.
“Dia.”
As I turned around after hearing my name, Big Brother Alan was standing there with a stunned look on his face.
Oh! Did it seem like I was bullying Patricia-sama? That’s not good.
“I could hear your voice all the way over there. Is my sister causing you any trouble?”
“I’m Alan from The Velisario Margrave family. Nice to meet you. She’s a bit strange, but she’s interesting, so please get along well with her.”
“Yes. With pleasure.”
Wow, Alan’s outward appearance is as amazing as ever. No wonder he’s brothers with Big Brother Chris. Not just Patricia-sama, but all the other girls seem completely fascinated.
But what about introducing your sister as an interesting girl? That doesn’t sound like praise at all.
“Big Brother Alan, don’t you think Patricia-sama is cute?”
“Huh ?”
“G-Geez, Diadora-sama, what are you saying?”
“She’s cute, right ?”
“Ah…Yeah.”
As Big Brother Alan blushed and nodded while looking away, Patricia-sama blushed again. What’s with this sweet and sour atmosphere ?
Even though my appearance looks like six years old, it’s a too distant memory for an old woman like me.
