Chapter 94: Request Forms and Invitations

After dinner and talking with Rosalia about her new magical tool, it was time for a bath. This time, I thought it would be easier to wash Mira because she had an apron on, but I ended up washing her entire body.

It seems that Mira likes to be clean. She seemed to like having her whole body washed in the bath. What should I do when she grows up? What if she grows up? We may have to build a bath room exclusively for her.

“Mira, you don’t have to take a bath every day.”

“Kyu!”

Mira shook her head left and right. No.

Maybe Mira is just lonely because she is still a newborn. When she gets a little older and can stand on her own, she will probably settle down. That’s what I think.

“Mira wants to bathe with us, brother. It would be a pity to leave her out of our group."

"Kyu!"

"Yeah, that's right..."

I mean, it’s time for Rosalia to get away from her big brother, too. We may be allowed to be eight and six now, but it’s time for the world to get off our backs. I don't think it's a good idea to start next year.

“I think I should water the flowers like this shower.”

She was observing the situation as I was getting hot water out of the shower magical tool. You've got a good point. A little ingenuity with this shower magic tool should spark an idea of what form the watering Magic tool should take.

“Rosalia, I suggest you observe it closely and think it over.”

“Did you come up with an idea, brother?”

“Well, yeah. But it's still a secret."

“Mmm.”

Rosalia’s mouth swelled with a pout. It wouldn’t be good for her if I told her easily. I’m going to be very careful here. I pretended not to notice the look on her face as I played in the water with Mira.

The next day, at breakfast, I asked him to deliver the request forms I had prepared yesterday to the Adventurers’ Guild.

There were two request forms. One was for “Poison Toad Slime” and the other was for “Cordyceps Sinensis. Both of these materials cannot be grown in the garden, but they are not rare. They can be collected without any problem this time of year.

If they deliver the collected materials immediately, they will be delivered to me in high quality.

This morning we will have a manners class. After that, I have dance practice. In the meantime, I should write a letter. I must introduce Mira to my friends.

Mira is to be raised in the Margrave Heine territory. The people of the territory will eventually find out about her existence. If that is the case, it would not be a problem to introduce her to them beforehand. In any case, we couldn’t leave Mira alone, could we?

“I’m thinking of holding a tea party to introduce Mira to everyone, what about you, Rosalia?”

“Do you mind if I invite my friends too?”

“Of course. I’m going to introduce Mira to everyone at the tea party. And make sure you write the invitations properly.”

“I understand.”

I guess Rosalia also wanted to introduce Mira to everyone. She gave a bouncy smile. Mira, not knowing what to expect, looked at us alternately and jumped up and down, as if she had foreseen that something fun was about to happen.

After breakfast, I headed off to water the herb garden and greenhouse before Sensei arrived at the house. It was too much trouble to fetch water and water them, so I watered them with magic.

“Julius-sama is really good at using magic.”

Lionel, who had come with me, sounded impressed after all this time. ‘Is that so?’ I said, slurring my words and not mentioning that I was manipulating the weather locally to make it rain. If they found out, they would say, “You can manipulate the weather too?” I can manipulate it to some extent, but if I do too much, I might be treated like a god.

I’m going to need a sprinkler magic tool as soon as possible. I need to pester Rosalia.

“Lionel, what’s happening with the Mt. Claire inspection I mentioned yesterday?”

“I’m in contact with them right now, and I expect to hear from them shortly.”

“Okay. I’m looking forward to it. As far as I can see from here, the mountain is covered with trees, so I don’t think it will be a problem, but I want to see for myself what’s going on, just to be sure.”

If the fuel is changed from firewood fuel to magic stone fuel, forestry workers may be in trouble. I’ll have to look into that as well.

In the future, if the economy of the territory is in shambles, I may not be able to take my time to research magic potions. That would be a problem. I need Alex to do his best.

After I finished watering, it was time for the etiquette lessons. There may be more opportunities to eat at the castle from now on. I need to learn them well so that I don’t have to be embarrassed at that time.

Speaking of which, what about Mira’s manners? Maybe I should ask Marth-san about it.

After the Etiquette class, we’ll have lunch and then dance practice. Since we had the manners class today, we learned the manners of eating during lunch time as well. Thanks to this, I didn’t feel like I had eaten anything.

If I remember correctly, there should have been bread, soup, vegetable salad, and a small steak, but I don't remember the taste at all.

I thought I had mastered the manners of eating to a certain extent, but it seems that I have not yet mastered them. Come to think of it, I don’t even remember what conversation we had during the meal. This is no good. I need to practice more.

Rosalia was probably feeling the same way as I was, holding Mira with eyes that had lost their light.

“Look, Rosalia, it’s time for dance practice. Let Mira go.”

“Kyu!”

Perhaps worried about Rosalia, who had lost her energy, Mira was clinging to her. It’s all right, Mira. That’s how Rosalia is going up the stairs to adulthood.

I pulled Mira off, pulled Rosaria’s hand and stood in the dance hall.

“Rosalia, don’t worry too much about Mira. After this dance time is over, we’ll have some free time. Together we’ll come up with a new magic tool, won’t we?”

When I said that, the light returned to Rosalia's eyes. OK, it looks like it will work out. From now on, I’ll make sure that the etiquette class and the dance practice are held on different days. The damage from manners training is too great. I’m sure the teacher doesn’t mean to be offensive. It's just that he’s driven by a sense of mission to make us into full-fledged gentlemen and ladies.
