CH 342

A few days after the tea party, the envoy from the Bastea Company that delivers goods to our residence informed me of Sei’s departure to the Capital.

I was a loner with no friends up until I regained the memories of my past life, so with no one to accompany me for a tea or a meal, I have become completely bored once again.

After that, Mashiro and Kurogane must have noticed that I spent my days in boredom and were inviting me for walks and frequently demanded me to brush them. Well, that’s as usual though. I, who was continuously healed by mofumofu realized that I was being a useless master, and carefully brushed them as an apology.

「It might be better for me to depart to the Capital soon as well」

I muttered while brushing Mashiro in my room.

It’s not like I was with Sei at all times, but we had many opportunities to meet, and without the noisy Byakko-sama and others around, I do feel quite lonely. I won’t be able to meet up with Sei and others after coming to the Capital either, but I don’t think I can make friends here in the short period until I head to the Capital.

『Cristea, lonely?』

「… A wee bit」

I was nostalgic and really delighted eating the dishes I made with my past life’s memory with the people who resembled my past life’s Japanese.

「Once in the Capital, let’s invite Mariel-chan to show us around the town. I was only at the mansion and the royal palace during the New Years, so I am looking forward to going to the Capital’s market」

『Mariel? … Ahh, that lass, huh. I am doubtful of her suspicious behavior a little, but… I shall protect her as well since she’s Lord’s friend』

『Ah~ that girl? She’s a bit weird, isn’t she?』

Hey, hey, you mustn’t treat Mariel-chan as a suspicious person or an eccentric…

She just has a “Delusional habit cultivated in the past life” but she won’t have weird delusions about you two, so please protect her well, okay?
