It Seems That I've Slipped Into a Different World. Also, My Gender Has Changed. Chapter 92

Chapter 92

Translator: LynneSuzuran

“Here we are, we’ve returned-“

Orizsan opened the door and entered the room . Nah really, I’ve gotten completely used to her being like this .
Anyway, hearing the voice, Mikoto-san suddenly showed her face from the bedroom . Yup, her face literally appeared from within the closed door .

[Oo, you’ve finally returned… Mm…] “I’m home, Mikoto-san… N?”
“What is it, Mikoto-sama?”
“What’s the matter?”

 

That face of hers openly frowned . Just like that, Mikoto-san’s whole body slipped through, and she approached us . While bringing the tea, towards Minosan .

[Minoa, about these tea leaves . Who did you get it from?] “Ah, this is from Madame . ”
“Yup, Kaysan seemed to have bought it so that we could drink it when we get tired . ”

 

Continuing Minosan, I answered . ‘Hou,’ Mikoto-san sighed and answered with a voice that couldn’t really be discerned, and then she asked yet another question .

[To drink it when you’re tired, is that what Maya said?] “Ah, yes… eh, what is it?”

 

Mikoto-san was looking at the tea leaves inside the pouch that the bewildered Minosan held, as Mikoto-san crossed her arms with a gloomy expression .
…This, there must be something, right? Approximately at the same time as I thought so, Mikoto-san’s gaze went around us .

[…Oriza, Minoa . Tomorrow, bring this to Jigen’s place to be examined . ] “Eh? Ah, yes . ”
“To Jigen-sensei’s place, is it?”

 

Wait, oi, oi, oi .
By having it examined, it’s certain that there’s something weird with this, right? At least, Mikoto-san thought so .

“Ah, but Minosan, you’re taking a break tomorrow, right?”
“It is indeed my day off, but I’m going to go to Jigen-sensei’s cottage to learn about the magic language, That’s why, taking that opportunity, I will request him to examine it . ”
[Mn . Until then, let’s hold on to it in this room . ] “Ah, then tomorrow morning, we should hand it over to Minoa, right? I will remember it- . ”

As if ignoring me, everyone else continued the conversation . No, well, I’m saved, though . Orizsan took the tea that Minosan passed over, and for the time being, I sat down on the sofa .
Or rather, the one who’s going to bring it tomorrow is Minosan, so isn’t it fine to just entrust the tea leaves to her now? Well, I was the one who received it, so it’s certainly more natural to keep it in my room, though .
Even so, the tea that Kaysan bought was weird, which means… could it be that…?

[Hmm, it seems that the influence has showed up this early, huh?] “Is it about Kaysan?”
[Mn . If I’m not wrong, Kaysan was too inclined on Saryuu, right?]

Mikoto-san’s words reinforced my thoughts . Minosan also nodded with a gloomy expression .
I was told that the evil spirit’s influence was targetting me . And perhaps that influence has already begun to make progress, huh?
Mikoto-san said that they intervened with a human’s consciousness and had them do the misdeed on their behalf . If that tea had something strange, then perhaps Kaysan who bought it was influenced in such a way .
Well, it’s not completely clueless . Kaysan also told me that she wished for Saryuu to succeed the Shiiya family .
He was raised by her younger sister, Saysan, as Saysan was his wet nurse . In a sense, Saryuu was an existence that was similar to a nephew to her . To me, he is my younger stepbrother, but it’s not like I’m against him becoming the Shiiya family’s heir .
However, for something or another, Kaysan seemed to be worried about my presence .

However, for something or another, Kaysan seemed to be worried about my presence .
Between the adopted son, Saryuu and the biological daughter, me . Which one is going to succeed the house? She was surely worried about it .
When I tried to ask Mikoto-san, she tilted her head to one side .

[That will depend on that house’s circumstances . In the case of the biological child is being a fool, they might take in a good adopted child in order to have the heir right disinherited from the biological child . ]

Being a fool, huh? Well, at any rate, it’s better to hand over the house to a good person, yup .

“In my case, I planned to clearly announce that I don’t intend to succeed the house, though . Besides, I have been arranged to marry into Taigsan’s house . ”
[That’s right . Since you will become the young feudal lord’s wife, it’s inevitable for this house to appoint Saryuu as the heir . ]

Wife .
Ah-, now that she mentioned it, that’s right . For some reason, it’s a delicate word that doesn’t contain any sense of reality to me, but it’s the truth that it’s approaching, okay, dear me? I’m going to marry into Taigsan’s place, so naturally, I will become his wife . Let’s stop being irresponsible, I’m totally a woman, right?

“Seiren-sama?”

The moment Minosan called my name, something flashed inside my head . No, I don’t have any logical chain of reasoning, though .

“…Ah, I got it . ”
[What is it?] “Tou-san and Kasan gained the tendency to become overdoting parents ever since I returned home . Because of that, could it be that Kaysan…”

Since I’m the involved party, I can only see them as overdoting parents, but if one were to look at it from a third party’s point of view, wouldn’t they be seen as more overdoting? Kaysan is a maid who’s accompanying Kasan, so she always sees Kasan . In front of her eyes, kasan seemed to favor me too much, and it could appear like…

[Even though you have a marriage arrangement already, could it be that she is still worried that the adopted child will be disregarded and the family headship will be succeeded by the biological daughter?] “Since Saryuu-sama is at that age, he doesn’t really behave like a spoiled child to Madame that much…”

 

Yes, yes, that . A boy around that age dislikes being too attached to others, especially to his mother . Since I’m a man, I—I mean, I know such a thing exists . …Well, more or less I’ve had experiences around that matter, so I can somehow understand .
…But because of it, Kaysan might be in trouble .

Yes, yes, that . A boy around that age dislikes being too attached to others, especially to his mother . Since I’m a man, I—I mean, I know such a thing exists . …Well, more or less I’ve had experiences around that matter, so I can somehow understand .
…But because of it, Kaysan might be in trouble .

“Mikoto-san, what should we do? I think that we have to tell Kasan about this, but…”
[Of course . Well, we have to examine the tea leaves first . ]

I’m not sure whether she understood the meaning behind my question or not, but Mikoto-san only answered like that and stopped talking .

Then, the next day .
After lunch was finished, since it was my study time, Kuon-sensei came into my room and closed the door tightly before turning to look at me . What appeared from within the wrapping cloth that was on her hand was the tea that Kaysan gave me . 1

“Seiren-sama, Mikoto-sama . The requested examination’s completed . ”
“Ah, sorry for the trouble . Thank you very much, Kuon-sensei . ”
[Good job, Kuon . As expected from Jigen’s grandchild, his good head and magical power were all passed down . ] “Oh my, oh my, thank you for your generous compliments . My magic mastery isn’t that good yet, though . ”
[That’s because our comparison target is Jigen . ]

Because the comparison target is Jigen-san, so it’s categorized as not good .
Ah-, could it be that when we compare her with the other ordinary magicians, then she is quite amazing? So, if we were to consider it with a normal standard, Kuon-sensei is also at an unthinkable level, huh?
…In order to get me back, Tou-san and Kasan hired such unthinkable people .
Nah well, the main issue right now isn’t about it . It’s about the tea leaves .

“So, how was it?”

When I asked, Kuon-sensei furrowed her brows . Orizsan and Alicsan seemed to understand just by looking, but at least, I didn’t really know what was wrong with the tea leaves .

“It’s not wrong to use it when you’re tired, but… though it’s weak, the leaves contained something that could cause dependence . If you drink it, there’s a possibility that it will become something of great disturbance . ”
“Dependence?”
[In the world where you were raised in, didn’t you people call it as narcotic? It’s such kind of a thing . ] “Ah, if it’s narcotic, then I understand… wait, who?!”

…So it wasn’t some tea, huh? Damn it .
[In the world where you were raised in, didn’t you people call it as narcotic? It’s such kind of a thing . ] “Ah, if it’s narcotic, then I understand… wait, who?!”

…So it wasn’t some tea, huh? Damn it .
Just what were you planning to make me drink, Kaysan? …No, this must have been the evil spirit’s action .
No matter how you put it, Kaysan would never do something like that . After all, she is the maid Kasan trusted .

“There’s no mistake that these leaves are also being sold in the pharmacy . However, it’s not something to be prescribed unless nothing else can be done about it . ”
[So it’s either Kaysan managed to cajole the pharmacist, or that the pharmacist was also influenced… huh?] “…Somehow, it has become something serious, huh…?”
[What? It can only be said as something serious if it has reached the extent where they could influence the fief population to go and smash up the feudal lord’s residence . ]

WAIT! That’s a level where it can be called as a riot in the other world, right? Do the evil spirits intend to do that kind of a thing? Or rather, could it be that such a thing happened in the past that the ancestors were really worried about it?
…If that kind of thing happened to the Shiiya family, then… Even though I have finally returned home after going through all the troubles .

“…Let’s go to Kasan’s place . We have to do something with Kaysan, or else…”
“Yes- . Alica, let’s go- . ”
“Understood . For the time being, let’s handle Kaysan, right?”
[Mn, that’s right . I won’t forgive the evil spirits if they also do something to Maya . ] “I will accompany you . Even if I’m like this, I’m still Kasai Jigen’s granddaughter . ”

Everyone also started to get going, following me who stood up first .
Speaking of which, Mikoto-san would surely not forgive them even if the evil spirits didn’t do anything to Kasan .
