Tensei Saki ga Shoujo Manga no Shiro Buta Reijou datta Chapter 108

TN: Following the suggestions, I decided on Emirya instead. Emil or Emile would be wrong since the “ya” part was omitted.

I unexpectedly met with Prince Emirya and began talking with him afterwards.

Emirya Gaza Casteles was the third prince of the southern country and one of the main characters in the manga.

Right now, he was staying in this country to marry either Angela or Merrill.

He had a very active personality and I had met him in the castle afterwards.

(I had thought about not being involved.)

He was a prince, so I couldn't behave rudely.

The subjects were about the boot camp of the southern country and about the special products of each country.

Those were interesting topics for me too.

[…Hee, so there's aloe in the southern country.]

[Un, it's warm there after all. You know about aloe? It can be harvested in my country, candelabra aloe and aloe vera.]

[As expected, they're used as medicines.]

[The stomach medicine is bitter. And it can be used as paint when burned… do you want it?]

[I'd like to use it for spots and freckles prevention, so I certainly want it, but I don't have the connections to obtain aloe from southern country. It's only about raw materials of perfumes like musk that our domain deals with the southern country.]

[If you don't mind, shall I arrange it? As an exchange with Hakusu territory's soap.]

Soap seemed to be introduced to the royal family of southern country.

It seemed because we launched off soap when we traded for musk.

[But, for a prince to do so…]

[It's fine. My older brother was saying that he wanted me to give his regards to you. As much as possible, I have been told to provide convenience.]

Following Emirya's words, I tilted my head.

I had never met the other princes of southern country, and I couldn't remember why he would say his "regards" to me.

Emirya also smiled wryly because he also felt it.

[My older brother — the second prince, has a part that's somewhat similar to you. He was the first to find the use of musk and aloe was also spread by him. Besides, he also cooked dishes with various spices and he created many mysterious things. It's just like when you made soap and cosmetics.]

Soap and face lotion from Hakusu territory.

Those were spread by Ryuze, but somehow Prince Emirya had concluded that I was the one who created them.

[Then, there is a message from my older brother for you.]

[A message?]

[Well, "If you are the same as me, it must be a pain to be in your current position. Feel free to escape to the south when it seems that you are about to die.", that's his message. There're also "if you miss Japanese food, I hope you come and visit", "since I'm not a man knowledgeable with beauty products, I definitely want to spread the beauty culture of middle country in the southern country"…]

That alone was enough. I understood who Emirya's brother was.

(Japanese food… he's a Japanese person like me!? And he knows about the original Britney!?)

I didn't know what means he used, but the second prince knew about me.

He judged comprehensively that I was different from the original and from the invention of soap, so he decided that I was a reincarnated Japanese person. Certainly, that shojou manga only circulated in Japan.

However, Prince Emirya didn't mention the memories of previous life, so the second prince might have blurred the details about reincarnation.

Since the southern country and Hakusu territory were far away, it would be hard to think about probing me… but recently I had went to the capital city more often.

So I might have been secretly investigated by officials of southern country.

(From now on… let's be more careful about my surroundings.)

By the way, the country where we were now was called "middle country" by other countries. It's just around the middle of the continent.

The main countries of this continent were the northern country, the middle country, the southern country and the eastern country. There's a western country across the sea.

Other small states were scattered around.

(I suppose he's an unexpected ally. I would like to see him if possible, but it's impossible in reality.)

Aside from being completely trustworthy, the second prince seemed to be friendly to me since we're fellow reincarnates.

[By the way, is Prince Emirya friendly with your older brothers?]

[There are three of us, but all of us are friendly with each other. My middle brother mediates everyone's relationships. Some of our retainers antagonize each other, but we are united and didn't fight.]

The brothers of southern country didn't have terrible relationships like the northern country.

(If nothing can be done, I'll rely on his help. That and I want to trade aloe.)

From what I heard, the second prince seemed to be good in cooking.

Since he was a prince, he must have surprised his surroundings by developing interesting food one after another.

[Ano, maybe… has Prince Emirya planned on meeting me from the beginning?]

[That's right, since my older brother is concerned about you. I was lucky to meet you by chance in the castle.]

[In this world, we never know what will happen.]

I noticed a possibility.

(Maybe there are other reincarnates other than me and him. Maybe the difference of this world's culture can be explained?)

If there were other reincarnated Japanese people, and had spread the knowledge of their past life in their field of interest… perhaps it led to the current status.

There's no way to prove it, and I wouldn't go out of my own speculations.

(This is the world of a shojou manga.)

After considering, I asked Prince Emirya.

[Prince Emilia, have you already met the princesses?]

[Aa, I also met with Prince Lucas.]

I'd like to ask which one did he like, but I didn't want to get entangled with politics. Prince Emirya wouldn't say anything thoughtless.

I decided to refrain from asking, but the prince unexpectedly advanced the story.

[Princess Angela is an interesting woman, just like as you said. Princess Merrill is a beautiful woman… Prince Lucas seemed to be raising the temperature.]

Lucas' attitude was understandable.

(Not just Angela, even this prince has noticed.)

The prince who was attracted to physical appearance picked Merrill.

[I prefer Princess Angela though. Maa, it's good that our opinions didn't cause each other to suffer.]

[…Is that so?]

[It is. What do you think, isn't Princess Angela better?]

[In a political significance… is it?]

Certainly, objectively, the first princess Angela's value was high.

(She is raised as a princess so she's a true princess.)

The personality that ruined things was improved to some extent thanks to Prince Marlow's education.

(For me, I'd like to support Angela.)

Saying something or other, Angela had called me her friend. To me, she was also an important friend. I didn't want her to be sad and miserable.

If Prince Emirya chose Angela, she wouldn't be a leftover. However…

Angela didn't want some dry politic maneuvers and wished for love instead!

[Of course, that is right. Personally, I prefer her more.]

[E…?]

Unintentionally, I stared at him.

(What did he mean? What's different from the original…!?)

While I was disturbed, Prince Emirya smiled as if he was having fun.

[If there's no big problem in the contents, I as the third prince usually will choose Princess Angela. Personally, I find it to be fun to play around with something, so to speak. Maa, it seems that I made her a little angry when we first met.]

As his said so, his amber eyes were sparkling.

(What did Prince Emirya do!?)

In my mind, my feeling of relief "that's good!" and my unease "is it alright!?" were jumbled together.
