Tensei Saki ga Shoujo Manga no Shiro Buta Reijou datta Chapter 16

A serious thing had been decided without me knowing it. How many years had it been since the last tea party was held at our estate?

In the first place, will any noble's daughters accept the invitation?

(I have nothing but anxiety about this.)

In order to relax, I went to the hot spring while in distress.

Nobody uses this place during the daytime, and it is surrounded by walls on all four sides to be invisible from the outside. (TLN: Ummm… your cousin also uses it during daytime now right??)

Water is drawn from outside the wall upon request.

I also prepared spaces inside to wash and undress.

It would be troublesome if people used soap inside the hot spring itself, so I drew bathing instructions for the servants and stuck it on the wall.

After washing my body and entering the hot spring, with a zaa zaa sound the water was raised and hot water overflowed to the outside.

Britney's volume hasn't seemed to decrease yet.

(What should I do…)

I have barely gotten slimmer. My weight just repeatedly decreases and increases.

After getting out of the hot spring, while I was changing clothes the entrance unexpectedly opened.

Surprised I looked over there, to see Ryuze standing stock still with his blue eyes wide open. I also stood frozen while holding my dress under my arms. (TLN: Called it!)

“S, sorry, Britney. I didn't think anyone was inside.”

He hurriedly closed the door, but that didn't solve my rigidity.

I was wearing underwear and an undershirt, but even so I didn't want someone of the opposite sex to see me in that state.

(So embarrassing…!)

Letting my figure which is close to naked be seen is embarrassing, but it's more embarrassing to expose this unsightly flabby body to someone else.

How troublesome!

If it were a typical hot spring prank it might be a heart-throbbing experience, but here there wasn't a trace of it!

(… Rather, Ryuze-oniisama was the victim. He was the one who got an eyeful of my unsightly self.) (TLN: Britney… you don't have to be so hard on yourself.)

After I finished putting on the dress and went outside, Ryuze who was waiting his turn apologized once again.

“Sorry, I should have confirmed it properly.”

“I apologize as well. You saw such an unsightly thing…”

… Ryuze took a no comment approach.

Next time, I resolved myself to hang a “in-use” tag on the entrance door.

The servants had divided themselves into men and women time slots, so this problem has not happened until now.

“By the way, Britney. The lemon “rinse” you created is fantastic. I will plant lemons extensively in our territory. It may lead to a substantial increase in our territory's revenue.”

I have placed the soap and lemon water I created in the bathroom. They are there to use for anyone taking a bath.

Ryuze also seems to have used it, and his hair appears much more silky and shiny than before.

“Lemons seem to be grown from fairly robust trees, so there should be no problems raising them in our territory.” (Britney)

“I believe in the adjacent territory that lemons are widely grown, but I wonder how expensive the trees which are nearly fully grown will be~” (Ryuze)

“… Yeahhh, if we could buy them cheaply that would be good.” (Britney)

I thought of my former fiancé, Ricardo, the son of the Earl who governs the neighboring territory.

(I wonder if he will cooperate with us?)

Ricardo gave a feeling of “if you want something, you only need request it,” but there is a high probability that the requests for the previous matter had evened the slate, and it will be expensive this time.

Nevertheless, I decided to contact him since I had nothing to lose.

A short chapter this time. Our obligatory walk-in-on-the-girl-changing chapter. As soon as hot springs were involved, we all knew this was bound to happen.

Besides that, seems Britney is becoming even more indispensable to their territory with her homemade rinse. I wonder if Ryuze of the original timeline would have been able to liquidate their territory's debt without her?

Also no pictures this time because where would I even put one?
