Tensei Saki ga Shoujo Manga no Shiro Buta Reijou datta Chapter 110

The tea party resumed with the princes.

Lucas sat near Merrill while Emirya was smiling next to Angela.

Angela was occupied and her behavior was aloof though she was blushing, but she didn't reject him.

Looking at the situation, the daughters in this place also seemed to recognize some of the circumstances.

The northern prince chose Merrill while the southern prince picked Angela.

By the way, Prince Marlow sat between me and Elphis.

(The appearance of Elphis suited his preference.)

This crown prince preferred women with plump body.

Elphis herself didn't aim for royalty, but I thought that a marquis house wouldn't be unnatural to be connected with royalty.

However, Elphis was speaking with Angela. So Marlow spoke to me.

[Britney, Prince Emirya brought a lot of souvenirs. The plants are dried, but they're only found in the southern country.]

[How interesting.]

While we were talking about our hobbies, Emirya also cut into the conversation.

[Prince Marlow, just call me Emirya. Please call me comfortably.]

[Aa, well then, just call me Marlow.]

The southern prince appealed for a good relationship with the middle prince.

And for some reason, the three of us were discussing the use of the southern plants together…

[In southern country, we use every parts of the plant for cooking. Besides, they have other uses.]

[That's right! Even now I collect plants from various places, but my herb tea collection seems to increase even more.]

[But there's a problem about freshness. As plants harvested locally will naturally wither when transported here, they have to be transported as seedlings. Still, the climate may not be suitable and it may be useless.]

[Umu, herb teas are dried, so there's no problem…]

[Anyway, we should order it.]

[That's right.]

When the talk was settled, we listened to other conversations.

Then, Nora and Merrill had difficult atmosphere between them.

[Err, so… that kind of things..]

[No, it's true! I read reports from various places as part of my study. Your territory is manipulating the price of items in the market by adjusting the output of ore. Isn't this a bad thing?]

Apparently, they were talking about ores that could be found in Nora's territory.

[I can't say anything… I'm a woman after all.]

Nora said so evasively.

She helped her parents in the territory so she knew the circumstances… but since it seemed troublesome, she escaped by saying that she's a female.

However, Merrill had interpreted it differently.

[You can't have that kind of attitude. One shouldn't use their gender as an excuse and neglect from being diligent in self-study. I told earlier, it's time for women to be more active.]

That said, Merrill began to develop more arguments.

It's true that Nora's territory was adjusting their mining, but it prevented depletion of resources due to excessive digging and preventing from repeating past failures. By no means were they unfairly raising the value.

Her family dug out in the mines and got nothing, so they were in poverty.

Recently, new ores and new mines had been discovered, but they were cautious not to repeat the same mistakes. Now they were starting another industry.

Besides, a lot of ores were in the market, and they were careful not to cause the price to crash for important revenue resources.

(Considering consumers, it's best to get it cheap at any time. However ores have limits, and even such circumstances can't be ignored.)

I wanted to be uninvolved, but the opponent was a princess that's a former commoner. In other words, she's above my status.

It's not a good idea to oppose Merrill in the current status.

Britney in the manga could bully the princess so much because she had Angela's backing.

I looked at Marlow for help. He seemed to have accurately picked up my intention.

[Merrill, each region has their own circumstances. Let's study in the future about that.]

[But, onii-sama…]

Angela finally stood up when Merrill objected.

[Be considerate Merrill. You are making my guests uncomfortable. Besides, are you trying to talk back against onii-sama?]

[…O, onee-sama?]

Merrill was trembling. She could argue against her brother, but she seemed unable to say anything against her sister.

[Angela, Merrill has just entered the palace, so she doesn't know anything yet. She will take a little more time to get used to things.]

[That's true. However, no matter who it is, I am in trouble if her attitude is like this. With this, I can't show her in front of others.]

Hearing those words, Merrill hung her head in shame.

[I, I'm sorry. I, I didn't mean to… I'm sorry to make you uncomfortable. Excuse me.]

She stood up with teary eyes and rushed outside. Lucas chased her.

(The cleaning up is passed to other people?)

The remaining members sat with a sensitive atmosphere.

[Everyone, forgive me. I didn't educate her enough.]

Angela apologized with a tired face.

I felt sorry for her. Merrill was a big deal in a way.

Prince Marlow also apologized.

[Both of you, please lift your face.]

[We know it's not your fault.]

Miranda and Elphis comforted Angela who was especially depressed.

They were friends after Angela's rehabilitation.

Both of them stayed in the capital city for a while, so it seemed the three of them often met.

These daughters were Angela's friends.

(It seems that Angela doesn't mind Marlow-sama's sweetness. I think that she needs to be educated vigorously…)

But, it was not from ill will.

I received such impression from at the tea party today.

However, unlike such Angela, there's a daughter who had the look of wisdom.

(Nora…!?)

Since she's looking down, nobody noticed her, but I could perfectly see that my friend was grinding her teeth.

After a while, the tea party was concluded, Nora and I left the venue together.

Miranda and Elphis also went off.

Angela was accompanied by Prince Marlow and Prince Emirya.

I saw them from a distance and soothed Nora who was next to me.

TN: And my opinion about Merrill drops even further. If she really is a transmigator, then she must be really ignorant about economy. Yeah, like making a commodity price crash is ever a good idea. X(
