I'm Back in the Other World? Chapter 86.2

「Oh yeah, I will show you around. Please follow me.」

I don’t like letting the prince have more composure than me. Also, he took the heavy backpack I was carrying so casually,

…… Do I need to get back at him again?

I lined up to the prince’s side as he started walking, grasping his hand that wasn’t holding my backpack. Even if there wasn’t a difference in our heights, I’ll still link my arms with him… Isn’t this a common type of revenge?7

Sure enough, the prince was surprised by it, but he looked forward as if it was nothing. But when I looked up at his face, I could see his cheeks turning red.

Fufu, it’s a successful revenge.

I walked with a grin on my face while enduring the silence. However, I was surprised that the hand that I grasped was held with a bit of force by the prince. Not only that, his fingers moved as if they were patting my hand a little.

I felt as if electricity ran through me, I thought of casually letting my hand go, but I was the one to held his in the first place,  I would feel as if I lost if I gave up now, so I held on.

We kept walking side by side.

While the prince’s face was definitely red, I’m sure mine was as well. The hands that connected us made me very embarrassed.

We never looked at each other and we walked towards the garden with little conversation.

…… I didn’t realize that there were three people looking at us.

We passed through the castle and walked for about 20 minutes? We left the castle and arrived in front of the garden.

The knight was guarding several people, but when he saw the prince, we were able to pass without any checking, I guess a knight wouldn’t ask a prince for his business.

As I am with the prince, nothing was said to me either, not that I had anything to say too in the first place. I did feel lots of stares though…. Maa, I was brought to a place exclusive to the royal family, it’s normal for the security to get cautious of it.

I decided to ignore the gaze and enter the garden naturally.

There are many flowers blooming due to being spring. I could even see a few plants that weren’t even from this country. It was then that I realized.

From my previous life, I have knowledge of medicinal herbs, poisonous plants, rare flowers, etc. But I know almost nothing of general flowers and plants. I can see that some are similar to those from Earth, but I can hardly understand what they are.

All I know is that they’re pretty or something like that.

Still seeing lovely flowers blooming is quite a wonderful sight. The fragrance, moisture, and tranquility of various flowers, that you can only experience when surrounded by them makes you quickly lose notion of the passage of time.

I occasionally walked to the prince to ask the name of a flower, but the prince wasn’t really familiar with plants, so he couldn’t answer even 10% of what I asked….

I may look like this, but I’m also a woman. I enjoy being surrounded by flowers, so I’ll forgive the prince.

However, I didn’t see the queen or princess Aria so far. It is natural that the prince was the one to fetch me, as he was the one that invited me, so I can understand them not being there. But, I thought they would be waiting in the garden….

「Prince, are the queen and princess Aria not here?」

I am anxious because the people I thought that would be here are not. The prince didn’t say anything, but once I start worrying, it’s hard for me to bypass the uneasiness.

「… The two of them? They should be somewhere in the castle. What about it?」

The prince answered with a peculiar expression. From the answer, it seems that they are not here.

…… Haa? Then why did the Prince invite me? And what is the meaning of his current expression …?

…… Fumu, at first I thought I was invited by one of them, but it seems like the prince was the one that did it instead? And his expression, does this mean he was just pressured by then?

I guess it’s a reasonable explanation, he is being hard pressed by the two of them.

Eh…? I’m feeling a slight pain on my chest…

「If you need to see them, do you want to go after the two?」

Without thinking deeply on it, I shook my head as the prince’s voice came.

「No, it was nothing I particular … I was just asking.」

I think it’s better to not mention the two of them today. Something along the lines of the capabilities of a Japanese of reading the air?

After that, I slowly looked over the garden until noon.
