Tensei Saki ga Shoujo Manga no Shiro Buta Reijou datta Chapter 9

Returning to the mansion, there was grandfather greeting me in a flustered state. There was a visitor for me, apparently. After thanking Ryuze, my body full of sweat, I changed and put in order, a suitable appearance for receiving a guest.

In the guest room, there sat a familiar gentleman and a sulking youth. Both were neatly dressed but exuding an aura of nervousness. The gentleman was a friend of grandfather’s another head of an Earl’s family. He visits our mansion every now and then. The child beside him was probably his son. They have the same green eyes and blond hair that comes with a shade of orange. The me who hurriedly got here, was helplessly breathing roughly, catching my breath. Even a little moment becomes a burden to Britany’s body. Being urged by grandfather, I take my seat. Britany’s gigantic butt, there off, took two people’s worth of space on the sofa.

“For this occasion, what discourtesy my son did… I had him rather late and probably doted on him too much for such a thing to happen”

From the earnest apology this gentleman was giving, I was immediately able to guess his purpose for coming here. This gentleman, was the one who proposed my engagement, and also the one who broke it one-sidedly. Anger is welling up at why such a person is invited into our mansion but, coming from the good-hearted grandfather, I doubt he can flat-out ignore a friend. And… how much this person is shrinking in apology did make him pitiable. Incidentally, what did he mean by his son’s discourtesy…?

“Although it’s embarrassing to say, but this talk on annulment… I only knew of it yesterday”

I turned my head to one side in question to his words.

“To tell you the truth, half a month ago, I was absent from the residence due to visits to capital and territorial inspections. The matter with this engagement annulment, was done by my son, without notice, at that time… so…”

The gentleman appealed to grandfather in hopes to make this engagement annulment as though it never happened.

“Even if you say that… Britany was really hurt by this case, not even willing to eat… poor thing…”

Grandfather, you are wrong, it’s a normal diet... He was misunderstanding the reason of his granddaughter’s light eating.

“Lady Britany… truly, I’m very sorry”

A gentleman, facing me, deeply bowing, is, as one would expect, a bit pitiful.

“Please raise your head. About this case, I pay no mind to it” I said with a smile.

However, from the outset, all that could be seen is a fatty with a weird smile. He only withered away in response. It hurts a little…

“Please don’t mind me and have a good talk with grandfather. I’ll go along with the decision you two agreed on”

Yoisho, I lifted this heavy butt and went out the room. The talk will probably be easier to proceed without the dumped person in question. Nevertheless… That son, he probably really disliked having to be engaged to me. So much so to aim for his parent’s absence to send an annulment. It’s not that I don’t understand how he feels if I was in his position. Even I’d was to annul it if I were to nearly get engaged with a superior fatty. Personality’s bad and body stinks too… but looking into the position of a household’s, I don’t think I’ll actually put it into practice.

“Now, I wonder where this’ll head to…”

If that boy becomes my fiancé, Ryuze’s condition will be met. That’s fine. However, the other party’s probably in never-ending denial. That’s rich in its own way with a line in place.

The me who was released from the guest room then decided to head for the hot spring Ryuze previous mentioned. The smell I’m currently dispersing is very severe, I’d like to secretly soak in the springs if possible.

The hot springs was located within our mansion’s premises. The grounds of our earl’s house was, like in any countryside, big. There’s forests, rivers, and caves, so having a hot spring wouldn’t be weird.

“Fu… Fu… Fwu…”

I pushed my wash inside the premises, endlessly forming sweat. Although I was handed a rough map, the place sure is far… and, it’s hot. If it’s a normal person, they probably wouldn’t have so much trouble just to reach there, however, I am a white pig opposer, one very lacking in exercise.

Kuuh… If only I can ride a horse… Should I practice horse-riding…?

I took quite some time to reach the hot spring in deep breaths. If I say, in conclusion, there is a hot spring… There is one, but…

“What is this…”

From the cracks of the rock wall, flows something like a spring… However, nothing like a catcher for bathing is there, the water only flows down to the ground, then river. It might be due to the components of the water, making colour of the stream change.

The surrounding water in the river, you wouldn’t normally use it so it’s fine but… the hot spring sure is a waste…

Touching the water, although the temperature is a bit high, it’s not something unbearable, draining the source partially is possible. Now that I think of it, on the way here, there was a small dried up pool. That was a ‘pond substitute’ that grandfather made for me; a shallow pond. However, Britany, as the one who hated moving, rarely ever used it. It became a useless good now that its dried up.
