Siblings' Discussions
「Hey, I heard that there are other noble houses who will come to our Harvest Festival besides the Sylfords’, is that true?」
I just heard from Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan that other noble houses will come to our Harvest Festival this year. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
And Eleonora-neesan entered my room without knocking while I was pondering that it would be troublesome after hearing that piece of information.
There is also Sylvio-niisan who enters behind her and he is wryly smiling.
It seems like he didn’t have the time to reprove her for not knocking on the door.
I can’t criticize Eleonora-neesan for not knocking anymore.
「Haven’t you heard from Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan?」
「They only said that there would be other nobles coming. The two of them only talked about it briefly before going out」
「Un, they said ‘Ask Al for the details’.....」
I thought it would be better for them to ask Elna-kaasan about it rather than me, but it seems like those two went out together.
Maybe, they went to the village chief to tell them that there would be nobles coming and spread the news.
The presence of the nobles was kept hidden last year, but it was not so this year.
More than anything else, people of the Duke's houses are coming. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
We probably can’t casually receive them like Nord-tousan’s friends, Earl Melna and Viscount Yurina.
We need to consider a lot of things to not make the people of the Duke houses feel uncomfortable while staying here.
It seems like it’s going to be hard to prepare various things, but there wouldn’t be much I can do to help.
「That’s right. There will be the Duke house of Ringrande and Misfid」
「Ueeee!? The both of them are Duke houses, aren’t they!」
「……just what have you done?」
Sylvio-niisan was surprised while Eleonora-neesan was fixedly staring at me when I clearly told them that.
「Why is it, that you assumed it was something I did?」
The people of the Duke's house are coming. It’s understandable if you were surprised to hear that, but please stop suspecting as if I did something for their visit. I was also just questioned by Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan earlier.
「I mean, when this sort of thing happened, it was usually Al’s fault, right? Like we have to go to the Sylford’s territory and then Viscount Dole came to our place」
That’s certainly true if you say it that way.
This kind of sudden incident happened usually because I was involved in it. Though I actually have no intention of making the situation turn out like this.
「Err, but, Eleonora-neesan pushed the matter with Bram to me, didn’t you?」
「That was just one time and it’s already over」
「That’s unfair!」
「Now now, who are the two people from the two Duke’s houses that will come specifically?」
While Eleonora-neesan and I were having such a quarrel, Sylvio-niisan intervened as if to admonish us.
Based on what I read from the letter, I can guess the names of the people that will come. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「It’s Alicia and Ra-chan」
「「Who’s Ra-chan?」」
「……Ranna-sama」
I’ve been calling her ‘Ra-chan’ even back in the royal capital, so it just came out naturally.
「Hmm, I don’t know them. How about Sylvio?」
「I’ve heard rumors about Shelka-san but I don’t know about Ranna-sama」
Apparently, these two don’t know about Ra-chan.
「That’s because it happened back at the royal capital’s Exchange Meeting and it seems like it was her first appearance in public」
Ra-chan is four years old. She might be five right about now, but she’s still very young.
It’s understandable Eleonora-neesan and Sylvio-niisan don’t know about her.
「Rather, Sylvio-niisan, you knew about Shelka, huh」
「Well, the Misfid house is a prestigious magic noble house. And even among them, Shelka-sama was quite famous since she managed to skip grades at the Magic Academy’s admission」
She’s a dangerous fujoshi who fired magic at you for seeing her panties, but it looks like that kind of person is quite a famous person.
While I was recalling that time and feeling deeply moved, Eleonora-neesan opens her mouth and said.
「Rather than that, the problem is who will take care of whom at the Harvest Festival」
Indeed, guess that’s what bothers her the most. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I was also troubled by what should I do about that.
Before it was pushed on me, I had to quickly tell them my opinion regarding this matter.
「Then, Sylvio-niisan and I will take care of Eric and Ra-chan. So please take care of Luna-san and Alicia, Eleonora-neesan」
「Ehhー, I’m not good at entertaining Alicia though......」
I was going to offer a reasonable suggestion but, Eleonora-neesan showed us an undisguised unpleasant attitude.
When you say ‘not good at entertaining’, does it mean you don’t like dealing with her in a girl’s sense, right? So I want to ask, but even I don’t understand how it feels either.
Alicia is a very beautiful person and her manner is also gentle, but I can’t help feeling that she has something else on her mind and that she has an ulterior motive.
For me who deals with people like Eric, Torr, or Asmo who has a rotten personality and is easy to understand, Alicia is someone extremely tricky to deal with.
「I heard about it from Luna, she’s the person Eric likes, right? Wouldn’t it be best if we let Eric take care of her?」
Eleonora-neesan stubbornly pushes Alicia to him out of goodwill.
Rather than that, Luna-san. You gave away important information about Eric, huh. Thanks to that, Eleonora-neesan unusually uses her head.
「But, Eleonora-neesan and Luna-san are closer in age to her, right? Besides, you also hang out with Ema-san and Sheila and others, so wouldn’t it be fine to have a lot of people of the same sex together?」
I don’t know Alicia’s specific age but, it’s probably twelve to fourteen years old. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
If that is so, then Eleonora-neesan and her friends - who are at the same age as her - should be together.
Right, I’m being considerate to the girls to the end. Though I don’t know how they will entertain her, I’m not pushing her to them or anything.
Wouldn’t that also be a happy thing for the girls?
If I were on that side, it safer to choose a group of the same sex compared to a group with the opposite sex I’m not close with.
「Is that so? For us girls, it’s difficult for us to be together with people we are not close with, you know? Unlike boys, we can’t immediately get along with them」
There was a certain weight to Eleonora-neesan’s reply. I wonder if Eleonora-neesan was also having trouble with girls of the same age.
Well, I think that the degree of difficulty in getting along between boys and girls is actually different.
For boys, it’s simple that we can become friends when we know it as long as we make do some stupid things or talk about some dirty joke or something.
Although, even I will get tired when dealing with Alicia, someone of the opposite sex.
Different from Ra-chan, it’s not something that I can get away with casually.
「Hmー, then why don’t we let the person herself choose at that time? In the end, it’s best if the person herself chooses where or who they want to be with」
As we were troubled over what to do, Sylvio-niisan suggested that.
I see, that’s true. The other party is from a Duke's house, so it should be better to let her choose for herself what she wants. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
If she decides on something, then Eleonora-neesan and I will also be satisfied without leaving any grudges.
「Okay. Let’s do that」
「Hmm, I’m also fine with that」
「Well then, for Alicia-sama we will let her decide by herself at that time」
After Sylvio-niisan clapped his hands as if it was all decided, Eleonora-neesan left my room as if she was done with her business.
「As expected from Sylvio-niisan, you’re so good at settling a matter」
「I, is that so?」
Sylvio-niisan smiles looking embarrassed when I praise him.
He found the common ground for both of us and then moved the topic forward from there.
Is this the quality for being the lord of the territory, I wonder?
「Eleonora-neesan will say what she dislikes if she doesn’t like it. For me, it’s a troublesome thing.....un, I knew it, Sylvio-niisan is the person suited to inherit the Slowlett territory」
「……if you understand that, please compromise a bit」
When I told him that with a firm tone, Sylvio-niisan replied with a somewhat tired voice.
But, you know, even if I understand what the problem is, there is still this feeling of not wanting to yield first. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
