CH 50

Recently, it seems that the royal capital is getting noisy because of another matter that is unrelated to the Colors Collector. Because of this, my father strongly told me to move in a horse drawn carriage so I obediently headed to Ursch-kun’s workshop in a carriage.

I looked around the front of the apartment complex and it’s surroundings through the window of the carriage, but I don’t see a girl that looks like the heroine.

Well, just because I passed by doesn’t mean that I can conveniently check out her appearance.

When I arrived at the workshop, Ursch-kun was preparing tea and sweets in anticipation of my arrival.

It seems that it was Paul-san who actually prepared it.

According to Paul-san, Ursch-kun was preparing tea with a beaker, so Paul-san hurriedly took over.

“But I was really surprised that Isabella-ojousama was coming. I just finished delivering the letter, but Young Master Ursch says, “I think Isabella will be coming soon,” so. . . I prepared tea half doubtful. . . well. . . you really came.”

Paul-san smiles bitterly and looks at Ursch-kun.

Ursch-kun, who is being watched, says with a straight face,

“I thought Isabella wouldn’t be able to sit still after reading that report.”

He pointed it out.

I see, Ursch-kun knows all my actions.

I wonder if it’s that simple.

It’s a little messed up.

From this point on, it’s a ‘secret meeting’ between me and Ursch-kun, so I had Paul-san leave for now.

“Well, I will tell you my hope first. If possible, I want Isabella not to contact the heroine, Marieta-san.”

“I see. Can I ask why?”

“At the moment, we are certain that Marieta-san is not a reincarnation. But like Isabella, one day, the memory of her previous life may come back.”

I understand that.

Even the reincarnation I read about in my previous life had a lot of developments like remembering the past life just before entering the academy.

“But I was reincarnated because of a proper cause, right? So, if the heroine becomes a reincarnation at some point in the future, what is the cause?”

“I don’t know. It’s not necessarily a reincarnation, but there’s a possibility of something else. . . ”

I don’t know what this other ‘something’ is. . . I’m more scared than if she was reincarnated because I don’t know what it is.

“Because. . . that man aimed at Isabella and interfered with her previous life, so it’s still good that there is a game where information about Isabella comes out because of that, isn’t it? But why is Marieta-san the heroine? I don’t think it’s good.”

That’s true. Moreover, even though I quickly left in Ver1, the story itself continues until Ver3.

Marieta-san is the main character.

“A game that Isabella said she saw in her previous life. If you think about it carefully, I think various elements are complicatedly combined. I’m starting to think it’s not just the man’s interference.”

What’s that? Scary.

It’s complicated at the moment and I already don’t understand it well, but it’s getting even more complicated.

“What exactly is this other factor?”

“As expected, I don’t know that much. I don’t have any hints. As for Isabella, I understood it because I was given the information, but if it hadn’t been for that, I wouldn’t have understood anything at all.”

I see, even Ursch-kun doesn’t understand.

I’m afraid that ‘Even Ursch-kun doesn’t understand’ because I don’t know anything more.

I thought a while ago that I don’t need to worry so much about the otome game scenario, but do you feel like I actually need to strengthen my vigilance?

“That’s what I’m thinking. I’m also considering having Viscount Hillson’s daughters go to the Kingdom of Diana.”

I see.. You are going to have Viscount Hillson’s daughters go to the Kingdom of Diana.

“. . . No, why?”

Ursch-kun. I don’t understand the flow of this conversation at all.

I don’t think anyone would understand, even if it’s not me.

“First of all, it’s a viscount family, but he doesn’t have any money because of the former viscount’s spending habit, so he’s making ends meet while getting help from his current wife’s parents’ house. . . ”

“The viscount, who is in a position to require support, is helping the heroine’s mother. If I was his wife, I would hit the viscount with an ashtray. A heavy glass one.”

Even if it’s a political marriage, the viscount decided to support his mistress while getting help from his wife’s parents’ house.

“Isabella is overkill with your bare hands even if you don’t use an ashtray. Well, I’m not interested in anyone other than Isabella, so I won’t cheat in the first place.”

If I’m dealing with Ursch-kun, I might not even be able to slap, let alone use an ashtray, but I’ll shut up.

“So back to the story, the viscount’s wife doesn’t have the kind of personality to get angry about it.”

“Hmm? Isn’t she angry? I thought the wife was furious and bullying the heroine and her mother with her daughters. . . ”

“If anything, the viscountess seems to be the type to live in tears because she is timid. She’s shocked and seems to be staying in bed all the time. So the daughters of the viscount family seem to think that if the heroine and her mother are gone, the viscountess will return to being their former healthy mother. Actually, it’s not that easy. Well, it’s what children think.”

Ursch-kun, you’re a child too!!

The viscount’s oldest daughter is one year older than us!!

“But after hearing that, it’s not good to unilaterally blame the viscount’s daughters for bullying the heroine and her mother. They’re just trying to protect their mother’s heart by doing it, aren’t they?”

There are just as many forms of justice as there are people. They are acting for their justice. Even if the method is by no means positive.

“That’s right. And the heroine knows that too, so she seems to be silently enduring the bullying.”

Is that so, heroine. . .

What should I do, this is. . .

“So, the merchant house, which is the viscountess’s parent’s house, is under the umbrella of our company, but I checked to make sure that her parents know the facts that I looked up this time. Apparently, the viscountess hid it so as not to worry her parents’ house, and they didn’t know about it. “It’s a political marriage I agreed to in order to connect with nobles, but I can’t help even my son-in-law’s mistress!! It’s just a government-ranking court nobleman’s habit of licking and rotting!!” The viscountess’ s father is already angry. Ahahaha~.”

Ursch-kun, it looks like you’re having fun.

This is the first time I’ve seen you laugh while talking.

I’m glad you’re having fun, Ursch-kun.

“So, the viscountess’s parents’ house is a long-established wholesaler that deals with medical herbs and medicine materials. It seems like the viscountess’s childhood friend works for a trading company specializing in medical herbs in the Kingdom of Diana. It also appears that he had a crush on the viscountess, and he is still alone because he can’t give up. The reason he works for the trading company is because he was aiming to get a chance to be recognized by the viscountess’s parents’ house someday and be reunited with the viscountess. That’s why I thought I’d get the viscountess to divorce the viscount and marry her childhood friend.”

I wonder what it is. . .

It’s a story about a single-minded man who can’t give up on his childhood friend who was taken by a nobleman, but because of Ursch-kun’s way of speaking, it only sounds like he is a dangerous man.

It’s probably because of the way Ursch-kun said it.

Also, the viscountess’s opinion is not taken into account in this plan.

Even so, the Kingdom of Diana. . .

It’s the country that my sister married into.

The Kingdom of Diana is a neighboring country located to the north of the Kingdom of Roserial.

If the Kingdom of Roserial is focusing on nurturing “magicians”, the Kingdom of Diana is focusing on the development of medical personnel such as “Doctors”, “Healers”, and “Pharmacists”.

Originally, it is a place where things that can be used as materials for medical herbs and medicines are often taken, and the main diplomacy is to export such materials and dispatch medical personnel.

“If the viscountess and her daughters can be happy, that’s fine. . . what are you going to do after that? Are the heroine and her mother going to enter the viscount family?”

To my question, Ursch-kun grins.

“The viscountess and her daughters will be happy this way. Rather, if they don’t leave Hillson’s house soon, they’ll be unhappy. Also, the heroine and her mother will never enter the viscount family. Because from now on, a fact that will make the heroine’s mother furious will be discovered.”

“Eh. . . What? I’m afraid to ask, but. . . I will just in case. Why?”

Ursch-kun got up from the chair, took some documents out of the work desk drawer, and brought them to me.

When I received the documents and asked Ursch-kun about them with my eyes, he just pointed to the documents with a dark smile.

“The answer is written there. I want you to read it.”

Ursch-kun told me to look over the report.

As I read it, I could feel the blood draining from my whole body.

In the back of my ears, I can hear my heart beating. . .

“Is this true?”

“I’ve confirmed it many times, and I have a lot of evidence.”

Ursch-kun, who answered confidently, is convinced that the content of this report is true.

“The identity of the Colors Collector, the mastermind behind Geese-sama’s kidnapping, is Viscount Hillson.”

That’s why the Colors Collector stubbornly didn’t take off the pig’s head until the end in the game and didn’t show his true face to the heroine.

And even after being defeated, it ends without revealing his true identity. . .

Because he is the heroine’s father.

This is the first series I am translating so please forgive me for any mistakes. I picked this up because I wanted to read what came next and thought others might too. I hope you enjoy it and thank you for reading!
