The Reincarnated Count’s Daughter Is the Strongest as She Is Loved by the Spirits, Though She Is Only Wishing for Regular Romance! - Chapter 26.1
Chapter 26 : Girls Talk
Here it comes, today’s main event. Sleepover. In my previous life, I used to buy all kinds of food and wine at the basement of a department store for the launch of Comiket and drink all night long.
Drinking at a bar is a nuisance to the public if you get excited and talk about moe stuff. If you’re at home, you can talk without hesitation as long as you don’t raise your voice.
Come to think of it, what happened to Comiket after I died.
I wonder if the works I was in the middle of drawing were read by the first person to discover me, maybe the police, or the paramedics.
Ugh. Let’s not think about it. It makes me feel like running away. Even though it’s too late now, I can’t face my family.
We gathered on the bed of Monica-sama, the granddaughter of Margrave Norland. Because there was a canopy, talking in whispers in a small, enclosed space increases the sense of camaraderie.
Everyone took off their tight dresses, let their hair loose, and wore fluttery nightgowns and thin shawls.
Just for your information, we’re not wearing a see-through nightgown.
It feels like a secret girls-only gathering. It’s a classy pajama party.
Monica-sama is seven years old, so she’s one year older than me, and she is a cousin to Carla-sama.
As expected of Norland, she is so big that if she were in Japan, she would be treated like a junior high school student.
I don’t think she can use the child fare.
She seems to like cute things, and the cloth on her canopy is decorated with small pale pink flower petals. Her nightgown is also light pink and has lots of small ribbons attached to it.
Her wavy, almost yellow-gold hair, with bangs cut just above her eyebrows, is gorgeous. Compared to the other girls, I think my silver hair is plain.
Since Carla-sama invited Patricia-sama as well, the four of us can meet and talk about secrets.
After that, we had a proper normal conversation and became good friends with Patricia-sama, but Big Brother Alan scolded me for getting him involved, even though he was trying to show off in front of the cute girls.
“I was told I couldn’t go, even though I wanted to meet the Spirit King.”
“Well, yes. Because there’s a chance that magical beasts might come attacking.”
“But Diadora-sama will still go, won’t she?”
“This person… I wonder why I get the feeling that she will be alright ?”
I’ve caught the attention of Monica-sama and Patricia-sama. I can’t understand.
“Carla-sama, you have seen the Spirit King, right?”
“Yes, during Diadora-sama’s birthday. Though it was from afar. The Fire Spirit King was also there. He was a very nice person.”
“Ah~ I’m so jealous.”
“I heard he portrays the image of an ideal gentleman.”
Huh? Really?
It’s true that both Ruri and Suou look like characters from an otome game[1].
“But I made a promise with my grandfather that if I could manifest the spirit beasts, he would take me there.”
A spirit of wind floats around on Monica-sama’s shoulders as she clenches her fists. She also possesses a Fire Sword Spirit.
A sword spirit.
Truly fitting for the granddaughter of Margrave Norland.
Patricia-sama seems to have a lot of magical power and possesses spirits other than the Fire Spirit. Even though she lives in the area that Suou is in charge of, she seems to be a little concerned about the lack of fire spirits.
“My territory is slightly affected by the area of the Earth Spirit King. The significant difference in crop yields has caused a lot of anger towards the former prime minister. I’ve been observing the situation in the central region, making it difficult for me to visit the imperial palace. I hope something can be done about it soon.”
“Thanks to Diardora-sama, we are at peace. I have nothing but gratitude to Margrave Velisario.”
“Please don’t be like that, Carla-sama. It’s just a coincidence.”
“Still, if it weren’t for Diardora-sama, our country might have ended up like Pendelus.”
I got curious about the desert country Pendelus and looked it up on Wiki-chan. It’s a little special over there.
I won’t say what I know because it could be dangerous if it gets out, but their situation is really their own fault. It’s quite mysterious how the country is still standing.
“Thanks to Diadora-sama for teaching my father about spirit beasts. My father was better at magic than swords, and he was not as popular among the people as my grandfather. But this time, he was able to be the first to manifest a spirit beast, so he was very happy to be recognized.”
It’s tough for all the lords, isn’t it? Norland has a lot of adventurers, after all.
“Not at all. When I visited the palace, I thought there were not many people who had shrunk it, but it turned out that there were many who didn’t know that it was possible to change the size.”
“Yes… um.”
The three of them looked at each other and suddenly started acting all shy. They’re so cute, aren’t they ?
Okay, let’s give a special service.
“There’s a spirit beast that looks like a cat when it shrinks. Would you like to see it?”
“Are you sure?!”
“Please do!”
“Thank you.”
Normally, I don’t want to make them a spectacle, and I dislike showing off. I have a rule of not manifesting them when it’s unnecessary.
However, the spirit beasts like to show up and run or stretch at times, so during those moments, I let them go out into the garden and have some freedom.
I plan to only manifest Jin tonight. He seems to like humans, and if he doesn’t like them, I’ll just let him return.
“Jin, is it okay?”
(“I don’t mind.”)
Jin appeared with a popping sound, and there was a burst of cheerful cheers.
It’s nice that the girls are happy, and he’s proudly fluttering his wings, but don’t let the cat stand on its own two legs.
It’s not an anime, so don’t put your hands on your hips.
“Act more like a cat.”
(“Don’t say difficult things.”)
While grumbling, he returned to all fours, raised his tail high, and seemed to be spreading charm one by one to Monica-sama and the others.
This spirit is amazing, capturing the hearts of the maidens in an instant.
“I wish I could have my own spirit beast soon.”
“I heard that Chris-sama’s spirit beast also turns into a cat when it shrinks.”
“That’s right. All four attributes of Big Brother Chris’s spirit beast turn into a cat.”
“Aww, that’s wonderful.”
“Everything about that person is wonderful, from appearance and talent to his spirit beast.”
“No wonder he’s as popular as Crown Prince Andrew.”
The main topic of the girls’ talk is love stories. I would also like to use this as a reference, but it’s about my family.
“Alan-sama is wonderful too, isn’t he?”
Carla-sama turned her gaze to Patricia-sama and said this while laughing happily, and Patricia-sama’s face turned slightly red.
“Come on, Carla-sama, don’t tease me like that. It’s because Diadora-sama is saying something strange.”
“But isn’t it wonderful? Once Alan-sama starts attending the school, he will become the center of attention among girls.”
“Um, since Big Brother Alan is the second son and won’t inherit the family, is he still popular?”
Stop it. Don’t give me that ‘What is this person saying?’ look. Seeing that expression everywhere makes me feel so pathetic. You too, Jin, don’t give me that disapproving look while you’re being petted there.
