An Exceptionally Cute Girl
As soon as I entered and sat on the chair in the living room of Torr’s house, I told those two. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「……yosh, both of you show me your foreheads」
「「Eh？」」
「It’s punishment for misusing my name」
「「Ueeー」」
After I plainly said that to them, Torr and Asmo openly grimaced and moved away instead of getting closer and showing me their foreheads.
If you don’t obediently do as I say, then I will just do it myself.
I gather magic power at my fingertips while holding the finger-flicking pose with my hand. Then, I make a transparent sphere of magic, and flick my fingers and the spheres hit Torr and Asmo’s foreheads.
「Ouch! The heck!?」
「Wh, wha, what’s was that shock......」
Torr and Asmo let out a moan like their foreheads had been hit with my finger.
That was the elementary magic from the non-attribute magic, Shock Ball. You compress your magic power into a sphere shape, and then you release it to your target. I never used it before, but it was surprisingly convenient.
「Using my name to slack off is going too far」
「……sorry」
「I’m sorry」
I feel like using a noble’s name to do naughty things has crossed over the line of being a brat a bit.
Still, maybe they are also reflecting on their actions since Torr and Asmo honestly apologize.
It’s kinda unpleasant seeing these two apologizing honestly like this. Myula-san and Dorothea-san must have scolded them quite harshly. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I actually have no problem with that, but if the people in the Slowlett house did that, then we would be punished
「Well, I don’t mind it that much. But if you’re going to do that make it so they won’t find out」
「Oh, oohhh! Speaking of which, Al! The Lord has said it already, but there will be nobles who will come to our Harvest Festival this year, right!?」
And when I playfully said that as though trying to lighten the mood, Torr leaned forward and asked.
I see, so he invited me here because he wants to ask me about that in detail, huh?
「That’s right. There is the Sylford house, Ringrande house, and Misfid house who will come」
「Ohー, amazing! This is the first time we will meet nobles!」
「Yea, you’re right」
「Oi, wait a minute. There is a genuine noble right in front of you, right」
Torr and Asmo cheerfully laugh when I retort.
This, this is kinda scary in that they seem like they think of it fairly seriously instead of joking.
「So, what kind of nobles will come?」
「There is a guy who is the same age as us, Eric――」
「You idiot! I don’t care about a guy! It’s the noble girls!」
I was scolded when I was trying to introduce Eric first. Apparently, they don’t care about the guys, they only care about the girls.
It’s like they’re desperately searching for girls........like the air of starved high school boys.
Oh well, if I were in their shoes, I would also be interested in the noble girls who will come to our village. My older sister - Eleonora-neesan - can’t be count-ed as a noble girl.
But then Torr will snap back at me if I were to say that so let’s just keep quiet.
「Okay okay, so, the noble girls. There should be three of them who will come here」
So I said while thinking about Luna-san, Alicia, and Ra-chan.
Natasha-san is a madam so she’s not counted and excluded.
「Are they cute?」
This time Asmo asks me with a serious look on his face.
For Ra-chan, I can immediately say that she’s cute, but as for Luna-san and Alicia, I feel like it’s wrong to call them cute. Those two belong to the pretty type. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「One is exceptionally cute, while the other two are pretty」
「「Ooohhhー!」」
Hearing what I said, Torr and Asmo look at each other and shout happily.
「Al, you’re our best friend, right?」
「The friend of our best friend is also our friend, right?」
The two of them come around to my side and put their arms on my shoulders.
These guys, they probably want me to introduce them to these two.
「……sorry, I’m thirsty」
「Right’o, here’s fruit juice!」
「I want a bit of a snack」
「Okay! Here’s salt-fried Kuruu beans!」(クルーマメ)
And as I ordered them around while assuming importance, Asmo gave me fruit juice while Torr brought snacks, he probably had prepared some snacks.
These guys, could it be they had made arrangements before? Really, they worked so efficiently.
I eat the Kuruu beans while watching those two.
The sprinkled salt matches perfectly with the Kuruu bean’s sweetness. It has a good saltiness to it.
When you eat one, your hand can’t help to reach out for another, you can’t stop wanting more.
It would really be a good snack if there were also ale here. I really regret the fact that this body is still a kid and I can’t drink alcohol.
I became thirsty when I was munching on the Kuruu beans, so I drank the fruit juice. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Immediately after, a moderate taste of sourness and sweetness passed through my mouth.
「Would you like me to massage your shoulders?」
「Or your feet?」
After saying that, Torr comes to me and massages my shoulders, while Asmo massages my calves.
Ah, even though Tor and Asmo were the ones doing it, they’re surprisingly good. I could guess that they were used to this since they were good at it.
I deeply felt that in any family, having this skill is necessary as a younger sibling while receiving the massage from Torr and Asmo.
But even if these two were to take care of me even more than this, it will just make me empty as it will overlap my situation with someone else’s.
「I understand your feelings about wanting to meet with the noble girls.......」
「*gasp*! Then......!」
And when I told them that with a dignified tone, Torr and Asmo looked at me with expressions full of expectation.
「I don’t know if I can introduce everyone to you, but I promise you that I will introduce you to the exceptionally cute girl」
I don’t know how Alicia and Luna-san will act. Normally, both of them might just be with Eleonora-neesan all the time, it’s not guaranteed I can introduce Torr and Asmo to them.
But, if it’s the exceptionally cute Ra-chan, then I should be able to take care of it.
I actually don’t want Ra-chan to meet with these two - who seem like they are going to be a bad influence on her education -, but it’s inevitable since they have asked me and doing things this far.
I mean, if there were cute and beautiful girls it’s not like I don’t understand the feeling of wanting to talk to them.
「As expected from Al! This, this is the first time I thought it was great to be your close friend!」
「Being able to introduce you to noble girls, as to be expected from a noble, huh」
Sure enough, should I just not introduce them? Also, ‘close friend’ they said.
「When it comes to their escorts, you can leave it to us, okay?」
「No, that’s my role」
「That’s sly of you! Give that role to us!」
「This is the strength of the privileged class called ‘nobles’, y’know」
It will result in something bad if I let these two become their escorts. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Think about it for a bit, nobles will be coming this year, so will it become the usual Harvest Festival?」
「Hmー, I’ll try to think about it. Nord-tousan also told me that we should not let the guests become bored or something」
Anyhow, there are two hard-to-please Duke’s house who will come this year.
The child Ra-chan and the adult-like Alicia might get bored if it’s going to be the usual Harvest Festival.
Although Alicia won’t speak or show it in her manner even if she feels bored, Ra-chan might inadvertently express her honest opinion like ‘I’m bored’ or such.
And so I will be there so it won’t turn out like that, but that will still have a limit.
Of course, I can keep Ra-chan from getting bored if I feel like it, but that will be using Reversi or Jenga, games to play indoors, something that has nothing to do with the Harvest Festival.
It’s kinda ambiguous if they came here and if one would say that there is any meaning to them arriving at the time of the Harvest Festival.
If anything, like Viscount Dole, I want them to know the good things about the village and they can enjoy their time spent here.
「I see. It would be great if we could do something new」
「Un, that’s right. It’s the same thing happening each year, even though we feel tired of it」
Incidentally, they will hold the Reversi competition again this year. But, children who get bored easily, they want to have something new no matter how many. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Well, I don’t know what it’s going to be but please tell us if you have something interesting in your mind」
「Okay」
