Tensei Saki ga Shoujo Manga no Shiro Buta Reijou datta Chapter 154

Today, in order to visit Viscount Dane's territory, Ricardo and I, together with Ryuze,  started for Kevin's hometown.

Sitting next to me in the carriage, Ricardo gently held my hand.

“It's great to be here. I haven't taken a long journey with Britney for a long time.”

“Ah… yes.”

Recently, Ricardo had been behaving actively.

Up to now, I got along with him as before. But as soon as I realized this point, then I couldn't treat him as usual.

I remembered, this feeling had struck me once before. What exactly was this phenomenon?

“Ahhh, that's great. Finally, I liberate myself from the territory work.” Our hearts beat faster. 

Suddenly, Ryuze squeezed into the narrow gap between Ricardo and me.

“Eh? Ricardo, you're here.”

“…..Ryuze, why are you here?”

“Excuse me, I'm Britney's guardian, so this is my designated seat.”

“Y-You…!, such childish!!”

I had never known that there was such a designated seat. Just when I thought about it, Ryuze had gently lifted me up and then sat me on his lap.

“Well, there is no other way.”

“….Ryuze onii-sama?”

“The seat next to Britney is for Ricardo. Now that's all settled.”

“What…”

In the face of Ryuze who behaved like a child, Ricardo opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

(This, this follows the tracks of an overthrown chariot.)

I remembered that on my way back from the South Country, it seemed that something like this had happened.

Moreover, this time I had been slim, so I was not able to use that excuse again—for the sake of his lap.

“O..Onii-sama, if I keep sitting on your lap for a long time…”

“I'm strong, so it's fine with me. I was busy with my work recently, so I feel lonely when you're not with me.”

“Well, it's absolutely a lie.”

I felt that that Ryuze had changed a lot.

What's more, it seemed that he enjoyed the atmosphere when he hampered the relationship between Ricardo and me.

“Ryuze, in that case, it's also OK to put Britney on my lap.”

Ricardo reached out his hands and intended to pull me towards him, but Ryuze dodged his.

“No, I'd like to have a seat. Sitting on your lap is insecure and it makes me restless.”

“If you feel uneasy, I can support you. You have been slimmer than before, so I can hold you tightly.”

“Ahhh! Onii-sama, it's too tight! Ricardo too, don't pull…”

As a result of their competition, I was tightly sandwiched between them and got into a mobile dilemma.

With a calm expression, Ryuze continued to hinder him, while Ricardo struggled against him.

On the other side, I wasn't allowed to sit aside. Somehow, it was a long journey, which made me feel slight fatigue.

After I had started several new businesses, Earl Hakus's financial situation had already been significantly better than when I was reborn.

The waterway had taken root in daily life. Moreover, it stretched gradually from major places to the rural area.

At the same time, the problem of up-water and underwater water had also been solved, which had played a certain role in controlling diseases.

It was said that the hot spring in the town was also highly praised and a continuous stream of consumers came here out of curiosity. It was the season when people sweat a lot, so there were already some regular visitors.

Moreover, many people opened shops around it, and the town seemed to develop further.

Viscount Dane's territory was located in the southeast of Earl Hakusu's territory, where its silk threads and fabrics were very popular. There was also some cotton in the territory.

In addition, they didn't only produce various kinds of fabrics, but they also invested a lot in dyeing and clothing production.

This was an ideal place to achieve my goal—Viscount Dane's territory.

About three days later, we stepped into Viscount Dane's territory.

 “Look, they're planting mulberries.”

Viscount Dane's territory was a vast rural area.

Its climate was warmer than that of Earl Hakusu's territory. Their plants were also slightly different.

We continued on our way for a while, then Kevin's family came into our sight.
