Tensei Saki ga Shoujo Manga no Shiro Buta Reijou datta Chapter 149

In the early spring morning, all the white flowers hanging on the trees blossomed along both sides of the street. Countless petals drifted in the wind and created a romantic atmosphere.

The residents greeted each other in the morning, loaded goods onto the simple wooden shelves, then headed for the market.

Ricardo and I observed around and progressed toward our destination on horseback—hot spring.

There were three main cities in Earl Hakusu's territory—the cities in the south and west and the Lord's city that was located in the center. The place gave people an expression—it was just a street, rather than a city. This was a primary mission in the future.

The hot spring we were going to visit was in the Lord's city. The city had a large population and almost half of the residents came from other places, so it was sensitive to fashion and the trends.

The hot spring was situated near the city square.

I was on horseback, close to Ricardo as usual.

This time, there was only a retinue of aides who accompanied us to inspect the hot spring. Ricardo and I rode on the same horse.

“Ummm… Ricardo?”

“What's wrong?”

It sounded very sweet. Who was he? Was the person who sat behind me really Ricardo?

I was aware that I had been wrapped around his little fingers.

“Get off here?”

Holding me in his arms, Ricardo whispered into my ear.

“Right, um… yes.”

I wanted to get off on my own, while Ricardo stopped me from behind.

He dismounted first and then opened his hands to me.

“Come on! Britney.”

“Eh? Uh…”

Ricardo carried me down. In the meantime, I was completely overwhelmed.

Now my weight had dropped close to the average female weight. So I was no longer fat.

Having a glance at the mature smile on his face, I blushed and looked away.

(Kyaaa! How charming that smile was!)

I didn't know whether he had seen through my inner thought. Ricardo continued to escort me with skillful movements.

After getting off the horse, we took a short talk and arrived at our destination. Unlike Earl Hakusu's hot spring that was a magnificent stone building, this one was refitted from an enormous warehouse that was founded originally here.

There was a hospital nearby and it could also be used for spa treatments. Besides, there were several hotels operated by individuals in front of the hot spring.

Moreover, after taking a bath, it was a good choice to buy the recommended milk at the exit, which was produced in Earl Hakusu's territory.

There also displayed some other products I made, such as soap, lotion and so on.

(Even though it's a simple bathroom now, I hope it can provide hot stone spa service in the future. I decided to talk about it with Ryuze onii-sama after it manages to make profits.)

This facility was available for daily use and its fixed price was not high, so all the civilians were able to afford it.

Because it was not open yet, we could visit it freely.

“It's spacious! In the case, it doesn't matter, no matter how many customers there are.”

“Yes, it's constructed well.”

“By the way, Ricardo…”

“What?”

Looked down. Ricardo's left hand held my right hand, just like lovers.

It made me so embarrassed that my behavior looked unnatural.

(I feel very happy, but I'm still shy. Is this the feeling who have been engaged?)

I shook my head and said, “Nothing.” Then I continued to walk further.

“If you are tired, we can have a rest.”

“I need not. Recently, I'm very energetic.”

It was true.

Through various exercises, I had grown up and become a strong daughter of the noble family.

Recently, I had participated in formal fencing training in the territory. I had to carry lots of heavy documents every day at work, so my muscles increased gradually.

Although I was not as good as Ryuze and Ricardo, I was strong, compared to other peers.

A few days ago, I had heard from Prince Marlow. It said that the former commander of the Royal Knight Army wanted to pay a visit to Earl Hakusu's territory. Moreover, it was said that Marlow himself would like to take advantage of the opportunity to visit us privately.

I was very concerned about the 'dangerous' local specialties he would present. Considering my figure, I would never give up to the sweet temptation!

“Don't trust yourself too much. If something happened to Britney, what could I do?”

“Thank you, then take a rest later.”

After a while, the third party, the manager of this hot spring, intervened in our conversation.

“Well, it's a rare opportunity. You two, why not experience the hot spring together? If convenient, I would also like to ask you for some advice. It has been tried out by filling it with hot water, so you can rent it out today.”

On this suggestion, Ricardo and I looked at each other.

“Both men's and women's baths are already prepared. Ah, you are engaged to each other. Do you want to go in together?”

Hearing the manager's joke, I could not help blushing.

However, Ricardo answered with a serious expression.

“No, thank you. Now it's during the engagement, so Ryuze doesn't allow to do that.”

“W..Wait a moment! Ricardo, [now]?”

I questioned at a loss, while he stared at me and smiled significantly.

It turned out, I had been tossed around by Ricardo's hands all the time today.
