I’m Back in the Other World? Chapter 76

Chapter 76 – The Final Day of The Festival

「Waiー, Prince…!?」

「Sakura, I want you to say my name… ‘Sedrim’…」

「Eh? No, please wait a moment! What are…? Nmu!?」

Eh? What? What is this!? Just now, the Prince kissed me…!?

「Nfu…, no, wait, hya…!」

The tongue! The Prince’s tongue entered my mouth!!

The Prince’s mouth blocked my mouth enough that it hurt, the Prince’s tongue raged inside my mouth, stealing away the strength from my body.

How long has it been, I wonder? The moment I struck the Prince’s arm with my powerless hand when it became painful, my mouth was finally released.

「……Sorry… But I can’t endure it any longer. Sakura, I want your everything… Please become mine…」

「Eh? Prince, wait…?」

「It’s Sedrim.」

「Eh? Ah, Sedrim…… -sama…?」

Since he’s more or less a prince, honorifics are necessary, right?

However, the Prince’s expression turned into intoxication the moment I called him that.

「Sakura…!」

The moment I thought ‘Eh?’, my powerless body was pushed down.

My body sank into a springy bed with a ‘poof’.

Eh…? Bed? When did…?

When I was dumbfounded by the sudden development, before I  knew it, my arms were pinned above my head.

And then the Prince, with his intoxicated expression, dropped in front of me.

「Sakura… I’ll be gentle… So…」

Once again, the Prince’s lips, with my lips…

「KYAAAAAAAAA!!!」

I jumped up while screaming.

My heart is pounding.

「Ni~」

Eru, as if protesting, hit my arm.

「Eru…? Huh…? Just now, that was, a dream…?」

When I looked around, I was currently on top of a bed in a bedroom. The room was also the usual bedroom of my house. In my usual sleep-wear, on my usual bed. It’s here where Eru usually sleeps.

「Like I thought, it was a dream huh…」

However, what kind of dream was that… That… who would’ve thought, to have that sort of dream and that Prince…

My heart is still pounding. Most likely, my face is flushed red, I’m sure.

「What a vivid dream… It’s said that dreams represents desires, but it can’t be, I have such a desire…? No, it’s surely a delusion! It must have been caused be yesterday’s parade! Perhaps, because it’s been a long time, and furthermore seeing his formal face!1 Maybe I had a slightly better opinion of him? Feeling that sort of way is also my imagination! Otherwise, the Prince and I doing such a… Ahaha, there’s no way, you know! Because the Prince is an oppai alien after all! Riight? Ahahaha… haa…」

Somehow, I have a feeling I received damage from my own words.

「Nya~.」

Although Eru gave me a comforting cat punch, my mood sank even more…

Was it because of this morning’s dream? Without being in the mood for some reason, I began preparations for my stall for the final day of the festival.

Since I had the chicken meat delivered by the butcher, I only needed to cut them into suitable sizes and skewer them in the stall.

Which means, right now I’m earnestly cutting, cutting, and rolling them.

「Geez! That dream as well! Everything! The Prince is to blame
!」

Dangerous ‘bam bam’ noises echo throughout the vicinity. The meat were rapidly being cut.

「Because! That was! Absolutely! Not! My desire!」

Although the people going pa.s.sed the stall peered in thinking what was going on, they left without saying anything once they saw the meat being cut.

「Fuu…, it should be okay for the time being if it’s this much, I suppose? However, why must I be troubled about the Prince… Both this and that, the Prince cannot continue to always be a hetare.2 He’s always a hetare, but because he occasionally makes that face…3」

The face of the Prince at the time of yesterday’s parade, and the Prince who approached me in my dreams came to mind, which I hurriedly shook off.

「I’m sure because the Prince the male I’m most familiar with so he appeared in my dream. ……Which reminds me, the males around me, there sure aren’t many ne… Graham-san is, rather than a friend, closer to an acquaintance, speaking of the other males, it’s only Takahas.h.i.+-san and the shopkeepers… Muu, there are no males close to my age…」

Come to think of it, the boys around my age when I was in my previous world were also, let alone friends, there wasn’t even one I could call an acquaintance ne… Perhaps, my life, won’t have much luck with men…?

Muu, at this rate, my life, won’t it become lonely, I wonder…?

It seems it’s necessary to make immediate improvements ne…

As I was moving my hands while thinking, the meat which needed to be cut had disappeared before I realized.

It’s about time to start the fire and open up the store…

「Welcome. Five pieces right? That will be 30 Goualch. Yes, thank you very much.」

Continuing from the first day and yesterday, today also had an excellent amount of customers since the morning. At this rate, it seems I’ll be closing up faster than yesterday.

「Welcome.」

Roast roast roast, sell sell sell… The meat gets cut and skewered during the free time… I’m incredibly busy.

「Welcome! Eh? One customer may only have five pieces. I’m sorry.」

When I lose even a little bit of focus, a customer would be waiting before I know it, my goodness. Although the sales are doing well, it being too hectic is also a problem ne…

A queue started up when it became close to lunch. Uu, I don’t have enough hands, you know!?

「Yes, five pieces, is it? Please wait a moment until it’s cooked.」

Aah, Geez! They disappear as soon as I cook them! The meat! The skeweeers!!

……

Haa haa…

I somehow sold them all…

The crowd was bigger than yesterday… The prepared meat has also been exhausted you know…

It’s that huh, when I look at it like this, I believe the j.a.panese had incredibly good manners.

What’s this about, you ask? The queue, you see.

The j.a.panese searches for the end of the queue and goes to line up themselves, but there are some people here who don’t care about such a thing. No, perhaps I should say there are many…

It’s easy to handle if it’s several people in a queue so there are no problems, but it goes horrible when it exceeds a certain number of people… Cutting in is common, skewers get s.n.a.t.c.hed away when I’m handing them over, even when I ask them to please queue up, they get angry at me where I should instead be angry at them…

In the end, when I clearly said I won’t sell if they won’t queue up, they became a little behaved but…

I’ve heard things like stories of how foreigners don’t queue up, or stories of how j.a.panese manners are good, but who would have thought, to experience it personally like this after coming to another world…

Anyway, the yakitori had sold out at this time’s festival. Since the stall is scheduled to be collected by the merchants tomorrow, it will be over once I clean up.

Now then, what shall I do with the remaining time…? The swordplay tournament is today ne. Shall I go have a look? The latter half should still be going on if it’s at this time, it might be just perfect ne.

If I remember correctly, the venue should be the training ground inside the castle…

Would there be anyone I know who is a partic.i.p.ant, I wonder?
