10-6 Part 2
The Mysterious Book Says the
Resurrection Draws Near
- A Sincere Wish -
Translator : PolterGlast
When we returned to Erin, the soil conditioner
experiment had progressed that much further. To state only the conclusion, it
was a success. It seems the seedlings in the fields where the soil conditioner
was scattered grew at a speed that surprised the pages of Erin.
That being said, I'm not knowledgeable about agriculture. As
a mere playboy, I didn't really understand just how amazing it was. Well,
anyway. All that's left is to order the officials of Erin to provide the
soil conditioner to farmers in various places under the Lord's command.
Especially if we improve the land in the south suffering
from salt damage, the arable land will increase significantly. However, there
was only one problem.
「As expected, if Ashley-sama
isn't next to me, there are a lot of failures. Ashley-sama, I want you
to stay next to Dulin forever.」
Is she hitting on me? Suppressing the urge to tease her like
that, I, having returned to Erin, watched over Dulin's concoction
of the salt damage countermeasure medicine.
By the way, I left Puis in the town. He is capable
after all. He spontaneously found what he needed to do and said he would meet
with the officials first.
「Oh my, that's good. Ashley,
you're always moving around, you really have no calm at all. Take your time and
relax here for a bit, okay?」
「Atomina-oneesama says so too! You should rest a little!」
The time limit is approaching. The fact that Jii
hardly ever returns is proof of that. There is no time to rest.
「Understood. After everything that
happened, I guess I'll rest for a while.」
However, there might not be another chance to relax with Aneue
from here on out. Then accepting the invitation isn't bad. I just didn't want
to have regrets.
With our mutual friend Dulin, we spent time relaxing
in the slightly scorched-smelling Manor while gazing at the mysterious miracles
of alchemy. After some time passed, Puis, who I parted with in the town,
arrived at the entrance. Considering the convenience of bringing things in,
this place is just right for an alchemy workspace.
「Onee-sama, there's no need to keep standing just to keep Dulin
company. I want you to sit down...」
「No. Then I won't be able to take a
break together with Dulin-chan.」
「But, Onee-sama is Dulin's
master, you know...?」
「No, Dulin-chan is already
like my little sister, right Dulin-chan♪」
「O... Onee-sama...♪ Somehow,
I'm happy, but, it's embarrassing...」
Puis was
standing there frozen for some reason. No, I suppose
that's natural. Dulin and Atomina-aneue were going a bit
overboard, whether as friends or as master and page.
「Aaah... This is good...」
「Puis? What are you talking about?」
「This, this. This is truly a good
thing, Ashley-sama... Those two, how harmonious... Aah, very good...
precious...」
「Don't tell me, another attack like
the other day...?」
Puis is
capable, but he has one flaw. He has a habit of arbitrarily having delusions
about the relationships between people and immersing himself in them.
Looking at Atomina-aneue and Dulin from afar
with rapt attention, the word "ecstasy" suited his figure perfectly.
「Oh my, who is that person over
there?」
「Ah, this guy is Puis. The new
Consul. He'll take good care of the Imperial Demesne in my stead.」
When the two's interest turned to him, even Puis came
to his senses and politely straightened his posture. Though his passionate
staring at Aneue and Dulin didn't change...
「Oh my, is that so! Thank goodness, Ashley
isn't suited to be a Lord after all. Please take care of things, Puis-san♪」
「N-Nice to meet you...! Dulin
is called Dulin Andvaranaut!」
Aneue just
declared with a smile that I'm not suited to be a Lord... When Aneue's
smile, which captivates anyone, was directed at Puis, even Puis
seemed to almost lose his words.
「Please treat me well. Princess Atomina-sama,
Dulin-sama... By the way, the two of you are very close, aren't
you...」
「Yes, that's right. Dulin is
my precious friend. Right, Dulin-chan♪」
As if to follow up on that, Aneue softly hugged Dulin.
By the way, she's in the middle of concocting.
「Hyau?! H-Hahi?! O-Onee-sama,
doing that in front of people is... e-embarrassing...」
It's clearly nothing but a hindrance to the work. However,
along with her embarrassment, Dulin's mouth turned into a sloppy smile,
and she quite dexterously managed to handle both the control of her alchemy and
Princess Atomina.
「Dulin-chan, love you, love you♪」
「Aaaaaah Atomina-oneesama, Puis-san
is watching... I-It's emba-wassing...」
It's a familiar sight now. As long as the affection doesn't
spread to me, it was a heartwarming thing.
「Ashley-sama...」
「What?」
「This job is the best...」
「I see. Don't make that sloppy face
completely immersed in your delusions outside, okay?」
Am I the only normal one? If I said that out loud, would I
receive a collective retort? But living a life immersed in delusions seems fun
in its own way...
「Ashley-sama... What should one do to become Dulin-san's
mother...」
「...Sorry, I don't understand even
half of what you mean. But I'll firmly state that it's impossible.」
Georg, the
tutor you introduced is pretty weird, you know... Well... anyway, that's how it
is. After that, the development of Erin progressed through the efforts
of Dulin and Consul Puis.
Especially since the areas suffering from salt damage couldn't
be touched properly before. If we create fields there and the people start
using the highways to sell their crops in the Imperial Capital and its
suburbs, the land of Erin will undoubtedly prosper.
Dulin Andvaranaut
solved the problem that everyone had been racking their brains over until today
with the miracles of alchemy. She just looks like a normal girl at first
glance, but she's quite something.
「Amazing, amazing, you succeeded
again, Dulin-chan♪」
「Tehehe... It's thanks to Atomina-oneesama
helping me...♪」
「A, aah... Aah, so precious... My
head is starting to spin...」
It's scary to think these guys will likely continue this bizarre exchange until the sun goes down...
