Tensei Saki ga Shoujo Manga no Shiro Buta Reijou datta Chapter 117

After all, it was decided that the members of this trip to the southern country were Emirya, Marlow, Merrill, Ricardo, Ryuze and I.

After preparing for the trip, we all gathered at the castle and left together.

Prince Marlow was Merrill's supervisor. This second princess with various problems also often listened to what her brother said.

Lucas was not allowed to go out, Angela said "I'm not joining this joke of a long trip", eventually the members were decided.

[I don't want to be engaged with a man who is infatuated with my sister. Britney, you, keep a close eye on that guy!]

…And, the first princess had sternly ordered so.

Something or other, it was inevitable that Angela was anxious about Emirya.

Prior to departure, Ricardo opened his mouth while glancing at Ryuze.

[Ryuze, you also came.]

[Fufufu, is there something wrong with me joining?]

[…No, nothing in particular.]

We rode three carriages that could fit in 4 people. With 2 people in each carriage, it was spacious inside.

Of course, there were other carriages for our servants and escorts that were accompanying us.

[Which coach should I ride?]

Ryuze replied to me who asked so.

[Britney, you should ride with Princess Merrill. Since both of you are fellow women, you should be able to get along with each other right?]

(Ee!?)

I secretly turned a protesting expression towards my cousin who dropped the bomb.

Being alone with Merrill, rather than getting along with each other, I would only be full of anxiety. Half a day lapsing without any conversation… when it came to things, I would have various troubles.

[If you would rather to stay with family, why not ride with me?]

[That's wonderful!]

I expected to go on a date with Ricardo, but it didn't seem promising.

(I understand, but… onii-sama, he's obstructing me.)

I was going on a trip with Ricardo despite the opposition of our engagement.

(It can't be helped, let's try hard to keep a conversation with Merrill.)

It was Emirya who gave me a helping hand when I made up my determination.

[For the beginning, Princess Merrill, Britney and I will ride on the same carriage.]

[Prince Emirya…]

[Princess Merrill and Britney had never spoken to each other personally. As for me, since I often talk to both of them, I will accompany them at first. Prince Marlow, since you have been handling government affairs until the last minute, it would be nice if you can take a good rest.]

Due to Emirya's exquisite advice, the three of us were decided to ride on the same carriage.

[Well then, Ricardo, let's start the journey okay?]

[A, aa…]

Ricardo smiled sweetly and sent his indomitable gaze to Ricardo.

(Ricardo, good luck.)

In that carriage, Ricardo and Ryuze-niisama rode together… I was worried, but there's nothing I could do.

I would do something immediately to help, I left that message to Ricardo and got on the carriage. Among the members, the youngest and the one with lowest position had no right to decide things.

The horse-drawn carriage departed from the castle gate and began to move through the castle town. I was a bit nervous so I looked at the outside scenery.

This trip would take a week to arrive at the border city which was located at the northernmost territory of the southern country; we would then stay a couple of days in the neighborhood before returning back.

In the carriage, Emirya opened his mouth.

[Ah right, the condition of my second brother. By all means, he would like to see Britney, so he would be coming to the border town too. If you don't mind, I would like you to see him.]

[The second brother, that?]

[That's right…]

Emirya's second brother had the memory of his previous life just like me.

Moreover, he's probably a Japanese person since he knew the content of the manga "Merrill and the Royal Castle Gate".

I myself wanted to meet him if I could.

He was now the second prince of the southern country, using the knowledge of his previous life for his country.

His younger brother said that his specialty was cooking.

Especially, it seemed that his cuisine utilizing the herbs of southern country was so exquisite that the chefs of the royal castle lost their words.

[Ee, if we can meet, then…]

[There's no need for you to worry, he's a very kind person.]

Emirya seemed to really like his second brother. His facial expression when talking about him was soft.

[I'm also interested in Emirya's older brother. To cook even though he's royalty, he's wonderful!]

Merrill said so while her eyes shone.

She, the princess, was close friends of Lucas and Emirya, so she called them without honorifics.

For some daughters, it brought tremendous displeasure.

[Aa, by the way, Britney.]

[…What is it?]

[Marlow-niisama brought refreshments for you. Since we ride on the same carriage, I can hand it over to you.]

Merrill then handed me a big cloth bag.

(Some time ago, I thought that it was a big baggage but… it's refreshments for me! I have a bad feeling about this.)

I could guess the content.

[Along the way, you won't feel hungry. Onii-sama is such a good friend with Britney.]

[…Thank, thank you very much. I am honored that the crown prince is worried about me.]

When I opened the huge bag I received, it was just as I guessed, it was full of baked confectionaries.

[Since it's brought with so much trouble, let's enjoy it everyone! Right, right!?]

I won't be the only one that got fat! The beautiful Merrill would also be involved, gufufu!

With a somewhat sleazebag idea, I finally finished distributing the sweets to everyone including Ricardo and Ryuze, so I had completely forgotten.

In this world of manga, there are strange people who won't grow fat no matter how much they eat like Ryuze and Lily…!

And the members of this trip also belonged of that category…! {TN: I share your pain Britney. I also have cousins like that. I feel so jealous of people with that constitution.}

—After a week, when we nearly arrived at our destination, a tragedy happened suddenly.

—Biri, biribiribiribiribiri-!

[Kyaa——!]

I made a terrible sound when changing my clothes, my underwear… the inseam was splendidly torn.

(Even though it is a fine design, it got torn-!?)

I thought of making an opponent of the protagonist of the manga, so this might be my punishment.

Merrill who was the only other woman in this trip became worried about me.

[Are you alright? I would like to lend you mine but… the size is not right.]

Her words were gentle, but it was one word too many.

(I know that Merrill's underwear is an eternal SS size…)

While my knees dropped to the ground, I replied to her.

[It's not a problem, Princess Merrill. I have a spare underwear available.]

But it was the same size as the one that got torn. There's a possibility that the same tragedy would be repeated.

Anyway, my weight had increased sharply in the past week…!

I couldn't even throw away the confectionaries given by Prince Marlow, having said that, I couldn't even press it to other people, so I distributed it to Merrill and our servants… but it's a two-fold trap by Prince Marlow!

First of all, the sweets passed to me were "sweets of the day"!

Merrill was entrusted with other huge bags and brought them to the carriage every day.

And then, that girl said "it's fine to eat a little" (actually, the other members of the trip other than me wouldn't get fat at all even if they ate a lot of sweets), so I ate at the same pace as my surroundings, I got fat after that.

I had not gotten on a scale, but I was quite chubbier than before.

(Although it's only been a week…! Why is it like this…!)

After that, my maid Maria who accompanied me sewed back the torn underwear, but Ryuze who heard it later laughed out loud…

[Stupid Ryuze-niisama, why don't you go bald!]

I told him the prohibited words.

Then, my cousin's usual expression stiffened.

Actually, our grandfather's head was very clean with not a single hair {TN: If you haven't seen the manga, the grandfather's character was drawn bald.}

I knew that Ryuze was secretly worrying about his future hair.

When I saw my silent cousin, my stomach soured a little.

Such being the case, I entered the southern country while in my chubby form.

TN: I laughed as I translated the last part. Marlow must really like Britney if he's spending the effort to make her body shape just like his fetish. And that part where Ryuze is scared of going bald is too funny! rofl ^o^
