Chapter 5
Distance
Well, that’s how I told my uncle, “I’ll have it serviced within two weeks. You can stay home, but don’t play!” so they could welcome me in.
That night, when I went to the saluted room after dinner, I saw a full moon from the terrace.
When I open the glass door and go out onto the terrace, I hear the voice “Ah” from the side and I look at you.
“Oh, oh, Miss Elana”
…………
She was wearing a shawl on her shoulder at night, her hair down in the night breeze and making her mock.
White skin floating in the moonlight.
Slightly reddish lips and cheeks, which would be bathing.
No, no, poison in the eye.
Toxic indeed.
But Eye Bliss.
“La………… it’s lana, fine”
“Hmm? To?
What do you mean?
“So! You can call me Lana. Shh!… me and you are a couple, aren’t we? We need to be a little closer… and the Durtonil family will suspect us… maybe?
…………
No, we just talked about the situation, didn’t we?
Though I don’t think so…… eh, what?
Am I gonna die tomorrow?
Have you run out of luck for the rest of your life? You all right, buddy?
“… it’s, like, an honor. Then call me Fran, my lady.”
“Don’t be ridiculous! This one is serious… oh, thank you…”
…………… thank you?
… Oh, oh, thank you… I see you were allowed to nickname ‘Lana’ in gratitude.
…………
Do you care about me for once?
The thing about not being honest is that you and I are together.
Well, how much easier would you be to understand, huh?
Still, I wouldn’t be able to help my mood go up without a cap.
Don’t let your mouth loosen inadvertently if you’re not careful.
“… then let’s have a little serious talk. Just now, no one will be listening.”
“Huh? Hmm? What?”
“Lana, what do you want to do now? If I say to Arsedios that you want to go home, I don’t think it’s impossible to go home.”
“Talk about you abusing Miss Rijuana. If you can fact-check that story with Miss Rijuana and admit it’s not there, you can go home. You should be able to live as a Duke’s maid. You don’t have to try to force your roots down to this country.”
………………
Hold still, look at your face.
I’ve always wanted to watch, but she’s wearing thin clothes.
If we don’t talk crisp and let him go back to his room crisp, he might catch a cold.
“If you want…”
“I’m not leaving.”
………… Why? ”
“Well, that’s… uh… this is such an insult, and it’s amazing what face to go home and live on after that…. and there’s something I’d like to ask you!
Me?
It’s kind of a sticky reason, but Lana fingers me with a bish.
What the fuck?
Did you get mad because you suddenly called me ‘Lana’?
You told me that from yourself?
Oh, I’m sorry about something?
“Um, pens, soaps, drags… it’s true that you made all the dragonstone tools to dry your hair!? Because, um… guys… Allefald, you bragged that you made them all yourself!? Rijuana believed that too…”
“Oh, that’s what those guys would say. In front of a girl I like, what I want to show you is the sex of a man or something…… But pens and soap are expendable. If they told me to make the same one, they wouldn’t be able to do it without me. Ha, zamaa!
………… … then… then… then really…… ”
Something bumps and squeaks and seriously thinks Lana.
I kind of can’t really hear it from here, but I’m like, “Wasn’t this guy just a mob character?” or “Even though he’s a character who hasn’t even given his name?” or “Could it be the mess of urbanism?” or something I don’t understand.
… I guess it was still quite a shock that the Duke’s maid was deported from the country…
Or am I also tired of my head on my first journey?
This looks like you should just let him sleep.
“Lana, go back to sleep today. I want you to help me make my hair fastening tomorrow.”
“Huh!… Oh, yeah! All right! Leave it to me!”
I’m anxious.
Well, at any rate, we say “good night” and we go back to each other’s rooms.
When the glass door is closed, it sits on the floor as it drifts due to the warmth of the room and the heat of the face.
“Lana……”
Cover your mouth.
… you’re a hell of a woman, true.
I don’t even know how this one feels…
“Lana.”
The cheeks and under the eyes are hot.
Shift your hands from bottom to top to cover your face.
Uh, not good.
I can’t stop burning my face.
Oh, my God, that’s cute. Impossible tough.
“… let’s do our best”
I can work hard tomorrow. Yeah.
… think the distance has shrunk a little, okay?
Just for a little while, when we talk about the old — ….
When I was just fourteen years old, I debuted to the social world as Prince Wang’s ‘friend’, just like the rest of the Dukes and Marquis family’s warrants.
Though, in my case, it’s not that much attention from the prince, and I just said the shadow roles of the gorgeous people, both in their identity and in their personality.
The prince and the other “friends” have ordered me to be in a position to be as good as they are.
I guess it was “just asking for a favor” from the guys in person.
Exactly. A few of them were left because they were vulgar.
I didn’t even think the prince’s “friend” deserved it.
Well, but it’s also subtle when asked if the rest of them deserve it.
And always this guy… because I didn’t think the heads of those who didn’t mean to be able to study, including the prince, were very good.
They take the law lightly.
Because I believe in the absolute ‘law’ of royalty.
But his father’s “law” is the “wisdom” written by the many wise kings who have supported the country.
Why do you think the king’s authority is more right now?
Though I don’t think the current king is an asshole either.
At least the ‘friends’ of princes and princes today are assholes.
I watched them like that and was kind of disappointed in my life as well.
I was wondering if I was going to spend the rest of my life with these guys.
Like my father, it is convenient for a pawn to defend the wisdom of the wise kings of old.
When things happen, they just get cut off…
Such a disappointing fourteen social circles.
That day, it was Elana Ruthfett Forsyth who jumped into my eyes at the same time as despair.
She came into the venue in her prince’s escort, and she was the first, most beautiful, most adorable girl ever.
He says he is distraught at a glance and at the same time unreachable forever… he leans down and laughs when his hands are layered ahead.
Looking at her, she said she would be at a good age if she refused to talk about her engagement.
But life is something I don’t know what happened–
“Two copper coins.”
“Well, that’s reasonable.”
…………
My uncle offered me two bronze coins.
I received it and handed it straight to Lana.
Lana looked at it properly, and tilted her neck.
Hey, hey, hey.
“No way, you don’t even know the value of the money, do you? Lady ?”
“Hmm! Know……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
“Are you serious?”
“Damn, keep telling me! Euphrane! You’ll need it in the future!
“Heh.”
It’s been a week since I’ve been in this country.
Lana has her hair fastened.
I made soap and started selling it.
For now, the wholesale destination is my uncle.
My aunt and uncle are supposed to go to a nearby aristocratic social club and have their hair fastened and soap leaked.
From there, we sell around the aristocracy.
If these perceptions are spread to the nobles, they will also be able to buy and sell what has been slightly degraded to the civilian population.
Whether or not you go back to ‘Arsezios’, you really need money or a place to live in living and going.
I don’t know what will happen, but Lana herself isn’t going to go home… then she’ll have to sit back in earnest and figure out how to live in the future.
And in order to do that, first of all… you have to figure out for yourself the price of the hair clasp you sold to your uncle…!
“Ha…… Well, why don’t you explain? The first thing that’s least valuable is this. Copper coin. A piece of copper coin. There is no cheaper amount than this. It’s the smallest in size, and the largest in circulation. Okay?”
“Ooh, ooh…”
“Silver coins next. You can exchange it for one piece of silver coin for 100 pieces of copper coin. And a hundred pieces of silver coins can be exchanged for one piece of this gold coin. I mean…”
“Huh!… Shh, shh is that cheap!?”
“Yes……………………. Shiushu?”
“Ah! No, that, uh!… Here, here! Product name. Product name! I was wondering if I should have a product name!
“Hmm, I see? Isn’t that nice? It’s easy to remember, and it’s a product name that seems to make women feel bad.”
“It would!
Product name… I certainly didn’t think about that.
If you sell it, the name of the product will be important.
Hmm, Lana’s surprisingly talented, isn’t she?
“Then how about I get you to name the soap too at that rate? It’s just soap. Then you can’t differentiate it from the rest.”
“Ugh!… stay, well, fine. But, uh, can’t you color the soap?… which one is this…”
“Color?… I never thought about color… But it does make the difference in efficacy obvious if you color it by the oil you use. Lana, you think about something amazing? No, seriously, don’t you have business talent?
“Huh? Well?… Well, then why don’t you also try to scent it? What, nah?
“Scented? Does that make any sense?
“Oh, it’s decided! Because perfume also, uh… it makes sense, doesn’t it?
… I don’t know what that means…
The perfume should have meant a stink erase, though?
I feel like a woman cares about that one way or another……
No, but civilian women don’t get anything expensive like perfume.
Cheap scented oil is about to be applied to the hair at best, right?
Want to make some essential oils and mix them up?
It’s a little tight to prototype now.
But it’s worth a try.
Chase, chase. Let’s try that, too.
“Right, let’s try the prototype next time. Sounds interesting.”
“!… ho, you sure you want to make it?
“Oh, that’s my idea…. Me, it would help if I could get an idea because I don’t want one of these or something like that”
………… … well, you’re the maker. ”
“Well, you are. So let me know if there’s anything else you want. Maybe I can make anything.”
“… yeah, then… let me count on you”
Is that a motivating genius?
So, another week.
I made essential oils for the prototype Lana was talking about, and I also made new soaps while trying nut and grass juice for coloring.
Shh, the hair clasp named has become popular among the neighboring nobles as early as possible, so much so that direct orders have also come in.
“Ugh, here’s the thing…… it would be easier if I had a machine ”
“Min?”
“Oh, uh… machines that sew you up automatically… like that? Well, humans have to do it to move on or stop it … like?
What’s “like?”.
… sew automatically, tools… can you make them with dragonstone tools?
“Hmm, palm size okay?
“Huh?”
It took about three days for now, but I made it.
“Yes.”
“I’ve really made it!?”
“Huh? Didn’t you need it?
“No… I appreciate it… but I didn’t think you’d really make it”
…… Normally, the Duke’s maid wouldn’t sew anything up, would she? I thought I was doing it without complaining. ”
“Eh.”
Something unexpected, rather than ‘gibberish! You look like,’ Why?
Have you ever done needlework with this lady?
No way?
The Duke’s maid? No way?
“But it’s still a prototype. Just give it a try. Because if I don’t feel comfortable using it, I will improve it.”
“Ugh, yeah. Thanks.”
“Fine, though. Because you work hard, the shrubs are uninterrupted, and I can ship…”
“Oh, no!… that’s about it. I’m looking after food and clothing…”
“… yes”
See you later.
This fluffy discomfort.
A high-flying car with high pride and high chronicity and no listening to people. My lady is so quiet.
I don’t hate labor, I’m happy with needlework…… this discomfort.
Breaking an engagement is something that changes people so much.
“Hey! Eufran! Miss Elana! Good news!
“! Welcome home, Mr. Carl Rate. Is something wrong? Good news…”
“We’re done with the ranch!… Ah, it’s an ex-ranch. Haha, with. Look, I fixed the stables because Lucy’s here!
…………
Meet Lana face to face.
Well, I do have Lucy, so I need to get the stables fixed, too.
But with this look…
“What do we do? You want to go check it out right away?
“It’ll take almost a whole day to get a carriage from here to beyond, won’t it? I’ll do it tomorrow.”
“Right. Yeah, I’ll do it tomorrow…. but right. It’s been so long…”
“Oh, well, yeah. Oh, but our old one, we’ve got furniture, chairs and tables, and beds. But I’m sorry, but I don’t have any more money or time… Well, Eufranc was making a lot of things, and I think the two of us will be able to do it soon.”
“No, it’s enough…. by the way, a bed…”
“One, of course!
“”… Huh!
I thought so!
“Ha ha, then starting tomorrow you’ll be a couple in your new home…… well, it’s lame…… so do me a favor!… No, but it’s kinda pathetic to have a new home with a newlywed…… Something from me too… Oh, yeah. I’ll send you something so you can have some color for a while.”
“… Aligato … food is really delightful and helpful”
“Oh, leave it to me!
…………
Silence.
Yeah, I don’t know how to speak up, either.
First of all, marriage… even when it comes to couples, it’s an emergency evacuation procedure.
She won’t have any dust or interest in me.
I don’t want people to hate me for putting their hands on the detour…
“… because you don’t have to worry about it to get your hands on it”
“Huh!… eh, ahh, yeah!?”
“Yeah?”
“Ugh, yeah!
… What’s that?
I don’t know, did you feel safe?
“Well, should I make a new one if it’s about a bed”
…… … well, you’re good at that!
“Oh, a bed can make it in a day or two, maybe”
Tomorrow for now.
Make it as soon as you get to your new home.
Nevertheless, it takes nearly a day to get there in the evening or at night.
Can I go to the floor for just one night?
…………
One day we can sleep together, are you coming?
