The Reincarnated Count’s Daughter Is the Strongest as She Is Loved by the Spirits, Though She Is Only Wishing for Regular Romance! - Chapter 4.1
Chapter 4 : There’s a Fine Line Between Genius and Stupidity
The climate in our territory is warmer than Kanto but cooler than Okinawa. Within the country, there are regions that experience heavy snowfall in winter and there’s also other regions that have hotter climates.
The country’s huge size contributes to this, but the altitude differences in our territory are quite significant. The northern borderlands, in particular, are extensive stretches of the northern wilderness and truly epitomize remoteness.
Next, the year in this world consists of the same twelve months, with November to February being the season for winter social gatherings. Most upper-class nobles gather in the capital city, and children aged ten and above attend school and reside in dormitories.
In the spring season from March to June and the autumn season from September to October, apart from a few high-ranking nobles, most peoples spend their weekdays in their territories and only return to the capital city on weekends.
During the weekend meetings, topics for the entire week are discussed, and based on the outcomes of these discussions, civil servants and bureaucrats work for another week.
Civil servants and knights are selected from among talented individuals who cannot inherit noble titles, so they don’t need to return to their territories.
The remaining two months of summer are the season for summer social events for the nobles. In the capital city, numerous evening gatherings take place, and those with money often have a longer trip to summer resorts.
They are invited by the lords of those territories, stay at hotels or their own villas, and it’s common that people from the same faction tend to move to the same summer resort.
It’s essential for regions like ours, which serve as summer resorts. More visitors mean increased revenue, and it’s also a way to showcase our ability to draw people in. Additionally, the destinations chosen by the imperial family hold significant importance.
There’s a rumor going around that this year, they might go to the Marquis Johannes’s territory. That’s where my spirit announcement comes into play. It mentions things like magic power is the bait, or they can learn powerful magic as they grow—that sort of thing. What’s more, this time, the ability to see weak spirits that are invisible to others has been added.
My birthday is at the end of March. There are still three months left until the summer mass migration period. During that time, if I can nurture the spirits of the people in my territory, won’t the summer visitors be surprised?
If I discreetly provide them with information, they’ll be grateful. Then, in winter, Big Brother Chris can have a large spirit gently enveloping him in all attributes when he enters school. So more people will wish to become friendly with us, and the number of tourists will increase next summer, bringing joy to our citizens.
I’m not sure if it will work out that smoothly, to be honest. I don’t think relying solely on spirits is enough. We need to think of something for our tourism destination. But we’ll start with what we can and work steadily from there.
Right after returning from the training grounds, I was required to take a bath and change into a dress. Even though my parents are borderland Margrave, I have to meet them in proper attire. When it’s just my family, we tend to be more casual, but I think the higher the nobility, the weaker their family relationships
The task of raising children is assigned to wet nurses and maids, and it’s common not to meet my parents for approximately a month depending on the season. Currently, Big Brother Chris’s butler comes to my room, converses with my butler, and then conveys messages to me while sipping tea.
“It seems that the meeting with the lord will be in the evening. He is said to be attending the evening gathering, so there is only a short time until then. But Chris-sama wants to share the main points as soon as possible.”
I think it would be more straightforward to just say it, but this kind of formality does have a certain nobility charm, don’t you think?
Brad, dressed in a black butler’s uniform, stands beside me with a straight posture, respectfully inclining his upper body as he conveys the message. It really gives off that “young lady” vibe, doesn’t it? Now I understand why there are butler cafes in modern-day Japan.
“Alright, I understand.”
As I handed over the cup after finishing my drink, Rex smoothly received it with a tray and tidied it up. Truly, they leave no detail unattended to. However, I can’t keep up this young lady mode for too long.
After hearing my answer from Brad, Big Brother Chris’s butler left. The door closed with a bang, leaving us alone. Immediately, I propped my feet up on the seat and leaned back against the armrest.
“Young lady, if it’s alright with you, may I have a moment of your time?”
“What ?”
I responded with a relaxed posture, lifting only my gaze. Rex had dismissed the maids, leaving just the three of us.
“I was instructed by Chris-sama to convey this to you before discussing it with your family.”
“Is it going to be a long conversation? Would you like some tea?”
As I rearranged the cushions, I leaned against the backrest to make myself comfortable. Brad and Rex, who had prepared the tea, sat down on the opposite side of the table.
Among the group of attractive people around me, Brad has a certain charm, don’t you think? He possesses an average level of facial attractiveness. It’s certainly not bad. He’s tall, well-built, and quite handsome. It’s just that he doesn’t have the same level of striking good looks.
Handsome men are creatures meant to be admired from afar. They are too dazzling for me. My two older brothers are still young, so I don’t mind them being good-looking because they look too young for my age, but I still get nervous when I meet their father.
So, he’s a tough-looking, intimidating guy, but being with him is comforting. A strong, intimidating man who doesn’t look like a regular butler. There must be a young lady with this taste, right ?
Me ? I love it.
Rex is only twelve years old. But, he looks just like, maybe a third-year junior high school student ?
A bright boy with neatly combed brown hair. He’s not exactly handsome, either. But he wouldn’t look out of place dancing in an idol group. I’ve been seeing him in a butler uniform for so long that I can’t imagine him in any other outfit.
Those two are my exclusive attendants. I am truly grateful. Did I accumulate any good karma in my past life? I wonder, do gods of otaku or gods of doujinshi really exist ?
As I was looking at them while thinking about this, the two butlers briefly exchanged glances and then straightened their posture before looking at me.
“Then, I have a message from Chris-sama.”
“Please go ahead.”
“He said, ‘well, since neither of us has much of a childlike nature, and our parents have grown used to it, they want us to prioritize talking with comfort, so they’d prefer you not to force yourselves to act like a four-year-olds.’”
Eh ?
EHHH !
What does that mean ?!
Have they already figured out I’m a reincarnated person?! In just four years ??
