Usappi

「Master, your room is ready」

 As I was watching Gregor made a sudden change in attitude, the maid, Tickle, arrived. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 It looks like the reason she was not nearby was that she was making preparations to invite us in.

「Is that so. Then, lead Alfried-dono and Ranna-sama to the room」

「Yes――eehhhh!? Ranna-sama!?」

 Tickle’s face turns pale at the unexpected guest.

「Take care of me」

「Ye, yes! Of course!」

 She’s really nervous. Well I mean, she’s the young lady of a Duke’s house after all.

 They are going to practice Psychic together after this, I wonder if they will be fine?　

 It seems likely she’s going to collapse if we keep putting pressure on her so let’s just keep quiet.

 Being guided by Tickle and Gregor, we headed to the room prepared.

 Occasionally, we pass young girls or women wearing gothic lolita outfits, but they greet us elegantly with a slight bow as they pass by. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 It’s a fairy-tale setting but it’s precisely because it’s high-class in that the quality of the people staying here is also high.

 The hallways are wide and the carpet laid out below us is so soft that there are no sounds of footsteps. Although this inn is attaching importance to the settings, it seems that they still don’t neglect the functionality.

「This is a nice inn. This place totally matches the atmosphere of the dolls Gregor makes 」

「As expected from Alfried-dono! You understand! The interior of Merche matches the adorable dolls perfectly! Just having Tickle move the doll and staring at it immerses you in a world of happiness!」

 When I casually mentioned it, I received a response with five times more enthusiasm than expected.

 I knew it, it looked like Gregor enjoyed life at this inn with the dolls.

「The doll Viscount Dole holding is Usappi, right?」

 Not being put off by Gregor who is talking excitedly about his love of dolls, Ra-chan truly has a strong courage for trying to have a conversation about dolls with him.

「Ooh, that is right. Ranna-sama」

 Gregor turns and shows the Usappi dolls to Ra-chan.

 It’s a round rabbit doll made with pink cloth.

 Although the doll is in a deformed shape, it looks slightly different from the normal rabbits in shape.

 It’s a creature I don’t know. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「That Usappi, is that a monster?」

「Un. They often lay around the plain outside the royal capital」

「What’s that, that’s enviable」

 Although life at the Misfid mansion is comfortable, it doesn’t have the natural feel just like in Koryatt village.

 When you’re in the city, you will end up starting to miss the familiar nature.

 ……I also want to be Usappi.

 Just when I was thinking about that absentmindedly, we seemed to have arrived in front of the room.

 Entering the room after Tickle opened the door, we were greeted by the Rococo-style interior with the Tiffany-pink walls. The decorations make extensive use of curves like those of plant leaves are very attractive.

「Ooh, this place is so elegant」

 The color changed from pastel colors into a beautiful room that combines cuteness and elegance.

 This also matches with the setting with dolls and I can feel at ease with this level of interior design, which is a relief.

 The butler Bastian is standing by inside the room and pulls our chairs.

「Bastian, give us more tea」

「Understood」

 The fact that he doesn’t look surprised at Ra-chan’s presence may be because of his disposition, but it may also be because of his long life experience.

 After we sat on our chairs, Gregor sat down last. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Then, Tickle brought a small chair over next to him and Gregor placed the small Usappy on that chair.

「You look reluctant to part with the doll」

「Umm. I wanted to keep holding it, but I was worried that I'd spilled some drink on it」

「Then won’t it be fine if you just make a doll that can stick to your shoulder?」

「……Alfried-dono, please tell me more about that in detail」

 When I gave him that suggestion, Gregor - who was smiling wryly - face turned serious.

 Eh? Are there no dolls that stick on your shoulder in this world?

「I thought that you could hold the doll without needing to use both of your hands by your side if you make a doll that can crawl on all fours and can fit your shoulder」

「Alfried-dono you’re a genius!」

 Gregor took out a memo from his pocket and immediately started writing something with a pen.

「Is it like this in shape?」

 (something like this to help imagining)

Looking at the memo, there was an illustration based on the idea I told him drawn there.

 He acts quickly as always. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Right right. It would be interesting if you could give it sleepy eyes or a sluggish feel to it and you can express its cuteness」

「Ooh! Not only functionality, but also granting it charm what a great idea! But, I am worried it might slip from my shoulder when it comes to people with a large build like me.....」

「If you’re worried it will slip from your shoulder, you can just add suction cups-like materials to its limbs to make it stronger」

「So there was such a method! Now I’ve got to start working and make a new shoulder doll immediately.....!」

 Gregor proceeded to take out a sewing kit from his pocket.

 Apparently, I have sparked his creative urge.

「Master, there are guests right now so please refrain from doing so」

「Nghh! Ah, that was right!」

 Gregor suddenly came to his senses after being admonished by Bastian.

「Ahaha, Viscount Dole really likes doll, huh」

「Umu. I like them very much」

 Seeing Gregor looking frustrated, Ra-chan gave a small chuckle.

「I also like dolls very much」

「Hou, so Ranna-sama too! What kinds of dolls do you have?」

「I have a big Blue Bear doll I can hug!」

「Ooh, big dolls are amazing, aren’t they!」

「It’s good, rightー?」

 She was slightly nervous when she arrived, but it looked like her nervousness had eased after seeing Gregor’s personality. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 He looks like a completely scary uncle, but she seems to understand that he’s a cute uncle who loves dolls.

 The conversation between Gregor and Ra-chan was amiably successful.

●

「Now then, let us talk about the puppet show」

 As our casual conversation progressed pleasantly and we refreshed ourselves with the tea, Gregor brought up the topic.

「Puppet Show?」

 Ra-chan - who doesn’t know anything about the puppet show - tilted her head in confusion.

 Gregor asks me with his eyes if it’s okay to tell her about it.

 We have already told Schugel about the puppet show involved in our business cooperation.

 It will eventually be conveyed to Ra-chan since she is also a family member so there’s probably no problem in telling her. 

 It will also related to Ra-chan’s practice in doll manipulation later.

 Gregor then opens his mouth when I nod at him.

「Umm. Alfried-dono and I have been working behind the scenes to bring dolls to life by moving them and carrying voices to dolls with magic and making the best puppet show in the royal capital」

「How do you make the dolls move by using magic?」

 Ra-chan blinked in surprise and tilted her small head after hearing Gregor’s explanation.

「Gregor. I’m gonna move that Usappi for a bit, alright?」

「By all means, please!」

 To show Ra-chan a specific example of how to move it, I cast Psychic on the doll Usappi sitting on the chair. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Under my mana’s control, Usappi slowly rose and hopped across the table.

「Waa! Doll-san is moving! Maybe, it’s being manipulated with Psychic?」

「That’s right」

「So Psychic can be used like this too」

 While Ra-chan is watching Usappi moving around, I send a glance at Tickle.

 Perhaps she sensed my intention of carrying her voice to Usappi, Tickle coughed while looking embarrassed.

 As Tickle opens her mouth, I cast Wind magic to send her voice over to Usappi.

「I’m Usappi. Please treat me well～」

「The Usappi doll-san is talking! Al! It’s amazing!」

 Perhaps she had the image for Usappi. The voice is a little dispirited and different from Tickle’s usual voice.

 Thanks to Tickle’s acting skills, Ra-chan got completely mistaken that the doll in front of her was talking.

「Amazing. Since we’re already here, why not chat with it?」

「Un! Say, why is Usappi always lazing around on the plain?」

「That’s because I like lazing around. It’s nice to spend your time peacefully and not thinking difficult things」

「I seeー, so you’re the same as Al」

 I feel like I want to keep watching Ra-chan converse with Usappi like this, but the shock will be great if we drag on this any longer so it would probably be best to tell her the truth now.

「Ra-chan, I have some bad news for you」

「Eeh? What?」

「……the one speaking right now is not Usappi, it’s Tickle」

「I’m sorryー」

 When I canceled the Wind magic, the dispirited voice came not from the doll Usappi, but from Tickle who has been standing by.

 Ra-chan’s eyes opened wide in surprise after she heard the truth.

 It’s like the face of a kid who believes in Santa, only to realize that it was actually the kid’s father.

「I, I see……」

 I, I’m sorry about that. But it was necessary to explain it.

 Gregor and I comforted Ra-chan, who was feeling down. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
