Can Someone Please Explain This Situation Chapter 31

Chapter 31

Ch . 31 Viva☆Fighting Scene

Politely sending out the Duke, today is a day in a long time without a Master s.h.i.+ft!

When the last time I was able eat a [simple] meal for dinner? I am happy and end up grinning!

With a light skipping-like gait I arrive at the servant dining room . In there is a smiling Dahlia lying in wait with a super valuable medicine soup in hand .

“Mistress, please drink this before the meal”

*smile* Today’s smile is extraordinarily scary .

“Yes! I will drink!”

I accepted it immediately but, the good feeling is muddled . It seems somehow extremely effective~ I have to be resolved . If I do not drink this there will be no meal!

*gulp gulp gulp*~! Phuahh~! With hand on hip I chug it down, women are courageous . Nevertheless it has been devised to be easily drunk, I can feel Dahlia’s regard for me . I’m grateful .

After that, it is dinner with the maids after such a long time . Today’s meal is Lovens’ local cuisine, Lovens-style tourte [T/N: Pie] . Inside the round pie is vegetables cooked together with tomato paste and it is a fully healthy gem .

I am enjoying eating while the maids are make a din but, unexpectedly, wondering if forcibly sending the Duke away to the detached building was bad, I unusually end up remembering the Duke . It seemed like he was worried about me at the time, even though the same thing is impossible . Even if it was as little as taking part, it would be good . However, over there is his beloved sweetheart so, someone like me should stay out it . Yeah, that is my conclusion

“What happened? Is the state of your stomach unwell again?”

Mimosa looks, with a worried looking face at me who has somewhat fallen into silence .

“No no . Thanks also to the royal palace purveyor’s appreciated medicinal plants I am already okay! The simple meal after a long time is delicious and I was engrossed in deep emotion! Aha!

*grin* let’s falsify .

“Yes! It is extremely delicious~!”

Mimosa also undauntedly grins . Uh huh . It seems I have perfectly lied .

And then the next morning .

I am eating breakfast in the servant dining room as usual when,

“Mistress, the Dukd has come here”

Dahlia came to call me in hot confusion,

“Huh?”

“He is at the entrance”

“huuuuh?!”

If it were ‘as usual’, the Duke would go out straight from the detached building without visiting the main residence but, for today only what is to be done? I mean, I am, in the servant uniform!! No, I should be glad he did not return immediately to my empty room!

“Please wear this, it should be camouflaging”

Saying this she hung a large stole from my shoulders . If it is firmly held together at the front you will not know there is a servant uniform . Nice follow! Dahlia!

With a ‘just a moment ago I left my room~’-like face, I hurry to the Duke’s location .

“I have kept you waiting . Good Morning”

Looking at me who ran up in a hurry,

“Good morning . How is your health this morning?”

Looking at the obviously healthy me, the Duke eyes loosen with relief . It seems he has not noticed the servant uniform . Safe!

“Thanks to the medicines I ate, I am completely recovered”

They were effective, and that rich medicinal soup was the final blow . I remember that flavour, so please pardon momentary bitter countenance .

“That is good . I will report it to their Majesties”

“No, that……”

Such things as the situation of a retainer’ wife’s stomach-ache, their Majesties probably do not want to hear!

“Well, setting that aside . Today I will also return home ahead of the time so, please do not overdo it too much”

“Huh?! ……no, ye, yes . Understood”

I am momentarily surprised and my eyes widen but, I stood firm! It is probably awkward but a smile should be being seen .

“Well then, I’m off”

“““Have a good day”””

ばたむ。[T/N: “batamu” a author’s word that is untranslatable, honestly no idea what it means]

“……the Duke, I wonder what he wanted to do?”

I mutter after the Duke leaves while staring at the entrance way door .

“He is probably worried about Mistress”

“Yeah, well, right . That Only was heard . But I wonder what kind of curious turn of events is this?

I tilt my head . I think it is not like him to be this panicked at me getting a stomach-ache . In the first place the one who had the spoiled stomach was me, not Her . If She was forced to bed rest by stomach pain, it would be a serious affair for the Duke .

“Has he not come to seem to care for Mistress?”

“Up to now he has thought a great deal of you?”

Like that Dahlia gives me a bitter smile .

Good grief . Lately I do not understand the things the Duke does, very well .

Today it is raining so, it is the customary rainy day events .

In order to furthermore resolve yesterday’s overeating (mainly in the way of weight), throughout the morning is dance lessons, lunch interposed then after that esthetics, and then dance lessons once more until dinner, it is quite a hard schedule . I will do my best!

Thanks to Lotus’ hard intensive training, I have reached the point of being able to dance to any tune . Nowadays having to fly around in circles in a basic way has gone! This is growth!

I have been praised by Dahlia that my posture has also become better from usual, my agility has also become pretty . Moreover even at that evening party, I finished without embarra.s.sment!

The esthetic troops lead by Mimosa are steadily progressing, various things have been added to the course ‘mud clay facial pack’, ‘skin whitening facial pack’ etcetera, etcetera . All of the group members, under commanding officer Mimosa, looks like they are enjoying (they are breathing a bit heavy☆) giving me a ma.s.sage so I cannot say ‘no’ . Thanks to that my complexion is furthermore nicely bright, in addition, it is springy .

After the esthetic full course it is time for the customary special make-up .

It is known that today after this I have dance lessons again so, sweat and tear resistant, flawless makeup is applied . Uh huh, thicker than usual, a different person more than usual .

Through Mimosa choice of ‘Today is gloomy from the rain so, let us do a cheerful look’, I dressed in a rose coloured easy-to-dance-in light dress and again move to the lesson area . Already yesterday’s overeating has been more than resolved, rather I think I am using minus energy but, I do not have the courage on hand to say ‘no’ to this dance . And I do not know at anytime I could be recruited for a dinner party option! In a sense I should probably say it is a good to have a place to be introduced at? ……yeah, even if I do say so myself it was positive enough to surprise me .

Just when I approach the entrance way led by Dahlia followed by Mimosa .

“Oh is it not the head maids? Well, is that the Mistress?”

Thus, a familiar voice can be heard from the direction of the entrance way entry .

“As I always say but, if you give a preliminary announcement I will lead you”

Dahlia says expressionally as she takes care to hide me behind her back, standing between Calendula and I . Uh huh, expressionlessness is SCARY .

“I thought I did not have to that formal . Sorry”

*Ohohohoho~*, Calendula bewitchingly laughs but her eyes are not smiling . These two people’s relations.h.i.+p seems bad . I secretly peek from behind Dahlia’s back .

Today, also, her black dress, firmly opened by her perfectly made b.r.e.a.s.t.s, is doubly s.e.xy .

“And . What is your business with the Mistress?”

“No, I have been thinking I would give my greetings for the first time . She was always absent so, I thought such a thing as a Mistress in reality is not here”

Covering her mouth with a folding fan in her hand her sidelong glance over here is very disagreeable!

Or perhaps I should say, that I am the Mistress has finally been exposed . Well, even though I have been exposed as my usual lower-servant-position-me before, I will probably be registered as a different person from special-makeup-me now .

Calendula and Dahlia’s glare (going past me) meet when,

“Sorry, but Mistress has been busy and, was not able to readily meet . If you had given communication of you visit beforehand adjustments could have been made”

This time Lotus’s voice forces its way through from inside . Uh huh, this also it is a completely different tone of voice from his usual tone .

Surely he came to meet me who, no matter how much time had pa.s.sed, did not appear at the lesson area .

“I wonder is not always being absent like this from the start? Even though I have heard that she does not go socializing at all . I wonder where, and what on earth, is she always doing?”

Calendula glares at Lotus with a slightly cutting feeling .

If it was like usual she would have quickly withdrew her eyes and yet, today she is somehow persistent . Ah, I wonder is it because she finally discovered me?

Lotus quickly comes in front of Dahlia,

“This cannot just be disclosed to people outside of the Physalis family”

He indifferently declares with is cool-headed butler face only seen in front of Calendula .

“nn……”

Calendula hearing this suddenly her face flushes, her beautiful eyebrows rise,

*slap*

The folding fan is skillfully forcibly closed .

Hya~ it is a Hanya[1] . There is a Hanya here~! I am s.h.i.+elded safely in a spot behind Dahlia who is behind Lotus, I am only watching the battle of Lotus and Dahlia VS Calendula . I’m cowardly . I want to partic.i.p.ate in the battle but, Dahlia’s hand is out in front of me as if ‘it is no good for you to come out!’ so, I am restrained .

“It is about the duke household so, please withdraw”

Without being surprised by Calendula’s look, Lotus also coldly says undauntedly not averting his gaze from Calendula’s ruby eyes . It seems it is an important point so he says it twice .

And then from the opposite side Mimosa is holding open the entrance way door as if ‘returning is this way☆’ . I mean, Mimosa, you were behind me until some time ago, right? How should I say quick work!

Calendula who is grasping the folding fan to the extent that the grasping knuckles have become white, is going to say something, those charming trembling lips open when .

“That is right, Calen . Could you please leave?”

Oh!, it is a voice I have heard before .
