Fairy Tale Inn
The next day after my outing with Ra-chan. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
After I had my breakfast and was relaxing in my room, Sara presented a letter to me.
「Alfried-sama, a letter from Viscount Dole has arrived」
「From Gregor?」
When I received the letter, I checked its contents on the spot.
In summary, he said he wanted to slowly talk about the puppet show and have me teach Tickle how to move the dolls.
Schugel was also there the day before yesterday and we were talking about the theme park so there was hardly any discussion about the puppet show.
Since Gregor is already in the royal capital anyway I would like to talk about the puppet show with him and I want to know just how much Tickle doll manipulation skills have improved.
Judging from the message, he seems to want to see me soon so let’s meet him quickly.
Fortunately, I can still meet him today. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「I’m going to meet Greegor for a bit」
「Understood」
After telling Sara where I was going and opening the door to go outside, there was Ra-chan standing there.
「Ah……」
Ra-chan tried to say something, but she immediately closed her mouth.
She looks very disappointed. Loretta - who is standing behind her - also looks awkward.
Since she has come in front of my room like this, she must have come to invite me to play with her.
And although she had made it in front of my room, she must have I’m saying I’m going to meet Gregor. It’s probably something like that.
「……I’m going to play at Gregor’s place now, do you want to come with me Ra-chan?」
「I want!」
When I tried asking her, Ra-chan’s dispirited expression made a complete change into a smile.
「Alfried-sama, is this really alright?」
Loretta nervously asked. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
There’s a chance that someone else might take offense if I were to invite someone uninvited, but it would be fine if it’s Gregor. That guy doesn’t really care about anything other than dolls.
「She might not be able to participate in our conversation, but if it comes down to practicing moving the dolls, then even Ra-chan might enjoy doing it」
「I, is that so. Thank you very much」
After telling her that Ra-chan wouldn’t get bored, Loretta bowed feeling grateful for my consideration.
「Then, shall we go?」
「Un!」
And thus, Ra-chan and I decided to go out together again today.
After getting ready and going outside, we got on the Misfid house’s carriage just like yesterday.
「Which way should we go?」
「It’s an inn called 『Merche』」 (Fairytale Inn) 1
「Eh? Merche?」
When I told her the inn Gregor was staying, Loretta showed a confused response instead.
Even when I checked the letter again, it was written Theresa テレジア2. It’s not like I misread it.
「Un, that’s what the letter said」
「I, I see」
「Is it that strange for it to be Merche?」
「That place has a very cute interior and exterior so most adult men would not stay over there」
When I directly asked why, Loretta answered my question although seemingly reluctant expression.
Apparently, Loretta doesn’t know much about Gregor.
It might be like that for normal men, but Gregor is someone who likes dolls.
I’m sure he’s staying there because he’s admiring dolls that perfectly match the fairytale-like setting of the inn. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
After Loretta told the coachman our destination, the carriage started to slowly move.
「Hey, that Gregor person, what kind of person is he?」
Ra-chan asked as I stared at the scenery outside while swaying inside the carriage.
It looks like she’s curious about what kind of person she is going to meet.
「It’s the tall uncle who came to the mansion the day before yesterday」
「That scary-looking man?」
「U, un」
I wanted to tell her that he was not scary, but no matter from which direction you look at him, Gregor’s face is scary so I couldn’t follow up. Even I - who was used to seeing him - thought he was scary sometimes.
But, I should dispel the image of a scary uncle from her mind.
「His face might be scary, but he’s a really interesting person who really likes dolls, you know」
「He likes dolls!?」
「That’s right!」
「I also like dolls! I have a lot of them in my room!」
「Then, maybe you will get along with him」
「Un! I look forward to meeting him!」
If Ra-chan also likes dolls then there’s no way she would anger him by treating them roughly.
This gives me a peace of mind.
We left the Misfid house’s site and continued moving down the royal capital street for about 20 minutes. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
The carriage then slowly decelerates, perhaps we have arrived at our destination.
After the carriage finally stopped, the coachman opened the door of the carriage and we got off.
There, a Western-style building with pastel colors was standing in front of us.
「It’s a pretty building!」
「……un, that’s right」
Certainly, if it is an inn with such an exterior, it makes sense the common adult males will not stay there.
It would be a popular place for women who like cute things and small children.
As we continued to walk toward the inn, two guards were standing in front of the inn.
They are wearing metal helmets and their whole body is covered in full body armor, which is also colored in pastel colors.
It was probably consideration to not destroy the fairy tale's setting. That’s quite elaborate.
When I told them that I was invited by Gregor - who is staying here -, they let us in without difficulty, perhaps they have already been informed beforehand.
Since there is strict security around the premises, the inn is probably aimed at the wealthy, different from the inn we stayed at in the royal capital last year.
A security guard led us inside the inn, where the entrance was decorated entirely in pink.
Naturally, even the tables, chairs, and chandeliers hanging on the ceiling are all also in pastel colors.
「……it’s a fairy tale」
Even though I’m supposed to be in another world, I can’t help but feel like this place is a different world altogether.
「The colors over there is different!」
「You’re right」
Looking at the hallway to the right where Ra-chan pointed, it was colored yellow.
「The hallway leading to the opposite direction is colored blue.」
「It seems like the colors and themes are different depending on the location」
「Interestingー!」
It seems like a fun place to have fun, but for me - who wants to relax - this might be unsuitable.
「Please wait here for a moment」
The security guard told us to wait here so we spent the time waiting by looking at the vibrant interior and furnishings.
Then, immediately from the stairs by the entrance, heavy sounds of footsteps can be heard.
「Alfried-dono, you came!」
The one who made such a loud, booming noise was Gregor.
The maid Tickle and the butler Bastian are not here, they are probably busy doing other work.
Gregor came running down the stairs in excitement, but it seemed like he realized Ra-chan’s presence midway. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Nu? Ranna-sama?」
「I’m Ranna」
「I am Ranna-sama’s waiting-maid, Loretta. Please forgive us for intruding so suddenly」
「No, please do not mention it. It is an honor for me to be able to invite you Ranna-sama. If this is how it is going to be, should we just rent a villa somewhere else, then?」
「No, we were the ones suddenly intruding so there is no need for such a measure」
「Don’t worry about itー」
After Ra-chan and Loretta greeted him, Gregor immediately drew in his bewilderment.
Although he acted totally recklessly when his passion and love for dolls appeared, it’s reassuring that he can socialize without problems.
After finishing his greeting with a smile, Gregor lightly beckoned at me.
Well, that’s natural.
「……Alfried-dono, this is different from the invitation, though?」
Gregor said with a straight face after moving a bit away from Ra-chan and Loretta.
Even though he wanted to slowly and carefully talked about dolls and ask for guidance for Tickle, it’s no wonder he would be surprised if there were others outside of our group.
「Sorry. There’s a reason I couldn’t refuse them, but Ra-chan can also use the non-attribute magic Psychic. So, I thought of teaching her about how to control dolls together with Tickle」
「What! Ranna-sama can also use Psychic!?」
「If there is another person to practice with, Tickle might also become stimulated and her skill improve faster, and if she gets along with Ra-chan, she might even help with the puppet show, right?」
「Ooh! How wonderful it is for you to invite a precious magician along with you! Even having one more puppeteer is preferable!」
Gregor was bewildered by the situation but when I told him that this might have a chance to give a huge benefit to the puppet show, his attitude made a sudden change.
He’s so easy to understand.
I don’t know if Ra-chan will help with the puppet show or not, but I just hope she can spend today enjoying herself. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
