Chapter 35 – Dinner with that Person.
「Sakura, it’s been a while. You seem to be well.」1
「Eh? Ah, yes. It’s been a while. ーWait no, what are you doing here, Prince Sedrim?」
「Hahaha. To meet Sakura of course, is what I’d like to say but, I came because of business.」
「Ha? Business with me? What is it?」
From the Prince’s words, my mind gets filled with「?」.
「Ahh, well we’re not in a rush. We can talk during a meal.」
Just as he finished those words, a meal enough for two was carried over.
「Are you eating too, Prince?」
「What? Since Sakura is hungry, you want to eat your meal in front of me as I watch?」2
「No no, that’s not what I mean. What if a meal had been prepared for you in the castle, is what I mean…」
「No problem. I’ve already said I’m eating here.」
No no, I think the problem is that a royalty is having a meal in such a place. With neither bodyguard nor poison tester…
Ahh, he’s already begun eating…
It can’t be helped, I’ll also start eating.
「Though I said business, it’s more of a report.」
After going through half the meal, the Prince starts to talk.
「Since the criminals in Lyle Dist’s case and Sodom Caral Balshnia’s case has been solved. I came since I thought I should report it. It’s more or less related to Sakura right?」
Ahh, come to think of it, there was something like that ne.
Although it hasn’t even been twenty days, it feels like it was a very long time ago.
For now, I’ll listen to the Prince’s story.
「Firstly regarding Lyle Dist’s case, starting with Gildas Somur Lambert, nine people have been arrested. It seems ten people participated in the plan, but one has already passed away. Just as Sakura expected, it seems the nine people who were arrested have been employed by Sodom Caral Balshnia. They committed the crime because they were enticed by the money and promotions. Amongst them, including Gildas, four people were in the Chivalric Order with a high position, while the other five people had already retired to succeed their household. Severe punishments have already been given to each of them.」
The Prince took a breather and drank some wine.
「Maa, currently we’re if the middle of selecting knights for the replacements. That’s what’s happened regarding Lyle Dist’s case.」
fumufumu.
I continued with my meal while listening to the story.
However, today’s meal feels somewhat more luxurious than usual.
The meat’s quality is better than usual…
「Next is Sodom Caral Balshnia, Sakura already knows up until the part of him being arrested. Afterwards, we escorted him to the Royal Capital and interrogated him, although he didn’t readily confess at the beginning. Maa, after thrusting those documents and also Gildas’ and the other’s confessions at him, he finally confessed. As for his punishment, with his former prime minister’s position, it was troublesome in various ways. As punishment for embezzlement, smuggling and Lyle Dist’s murder, yesterday, an execution was completed. Well, for his ‘son’. The Balshnia family’s last performer has been crushed.3」
Hearing execution, I had a slightly unpleasant feeling but, he was the ringleader that instigated the murder of the previous me. Even if he was executed, it can’t be helped is what I think, that is to say my viewpoint towards death in this world has probably received a strong influence from the dreams of my previous life4.
Which reminds me, although I also saw corpses of those thieves at the time I came to this world, I hardly felt anything. The slightly unpleasant feeling is probably influenced from my everyday life in Japan.
I finish eating my meal while listening to the story.
「That’s the end of the report. Though I didn’t just come to have that conversation during a meal. That and, I came to celebrate Sakura becoming an adventurer. It’s become quite late. You know, I heard from the Chivalric Order. You played quite the active part yesterday, didn’t you?」
「That…, thank you very much. You also seem quite well, Prince. Nevertheless, you have quite the sharp ears ne. I only heard about the situation this afternoon you know?」
「Right, I had to make an appearance at the Chivalric Order’s area. I heard it at that time you see. Oh, it seems it’s arrived.」
At the same time as he said that, glasses and a wine bottle was placed on the table, in exchange, the tableware were cleaned up.
「Speaking of celebrations, there has to be alcohol right?」
The Prince opens up the wine bottle and pours it into a glass while smiling, the glass was then placed in front of me.
The Prince also pours some wine into his own glass.
「I’m sorry. In my country we cannot have alcohol until we turn 20.」
「There’s no age restriction in this country you know?」
That’s right… My mood has gone down after hearing that conversation earlier… Since he’s gone through the trouble, it might be okay to try some alcohol.
「Well then, since you’ve gone through the trouble, itadakimasu.」
When I held onto the glass, the Prince also held onto his and slightly raised it.
「Aah, to Sakura’s future as an adventurer, I wish for your objectives to come true… kanpai.」
「Kanpai.」
I take a sip.
「It’s surprisingly easy to drink ne. Also delicious…」
「It seems this wine is easy for women to drink. Come to think of it, doesn’t Sakura cook? Since it was very delicious, I’d like to eat it again if possible.」
「It’s impossible at an inn ne. Even at the times when I leave the town, there isn’t much time to cook.」
「Then how about a boarding house? It also depends on the room but, I hear it becomes cheaper than an inn if you think of the long term. There should be a room that meets your expectations if you search.」
「A boarding house huh… It might be good to be able to cook for myself.」
We continued to talk while drinking the wine little by little.
「However, I won’t know unless I see the price and conditions of the room. Are there boarding houses formed by adventurers?」
「I don’t know the full details but, I’ve heard from a story that there seems to be numerous boarding houses for adventurers. Especially in situations when adventurers selects a single town as a base. Since it seems it would be cheaper that way. You might understand more if you ask the guild.」
「The guild~? It might be good to ask them ne~.」
Finishing the second glass of wine, I pour my third glass. I feel somewhat fluffy.
「Oi, are you all right? Your face is bright red you know?」
「Fufu. I’m fiiine. Although I’m feeling slightly fluffy, there’s no problem?」
「Naa, you’re drunk right? Isn’t it better to stop drinking?」
「Ahaha, what are you saaying. There’s noo way I’m drunk with only two cups? It’s celebratory alcohol riight? Hey heey, the Prince also drink moore~」
Saying that, I pour wine into the Prince’s glass.
「No no, no matter how you look at it, you’re drunk. Let’s stop already. You’re extremely weak to alcohol. It’s a considerably weak alcohol too. Is it because of your small body that you’re weak to alcohol?」
「Muu~. You’re treating me like a child again ne. Didn’t I say I’m an aduult. Okay then, I’ll make you understand that I’m an adult!」
I empty my glass in one go, grabbed the Prince’s hand and pulled it towards my chest.
「Waiー, yoー, what are you doing all of a sudden! I already understand Sakura is an adult! So stop it!」
Just before touching my chest, the Prince withdrew his hand in panic.
Being treated like that, I get angry.
「Ahh, that’s right. The Prince is an oppai alien ne. There’s no value in touching my meager chest right~?」
「Haven’t I already said that it’s unrelated to the size your chest. Mou, listen to me and stop drinking.」
「Hmmph.」
Saying that, I rose from my seat, but since I got up so suddenly, my feet staggered and I ended up sitting on the ground.
「What are you doing so suddenly? Are you not getting back up?」
「It’s not that I can’t get up. I’ll wobble a little if I get up that’s aall~」
「Which means you can’t get up, good grief… And? Why did you suddenly get up?」
The Prince asks while he tries to gets me up.
「Noo reason in particular? Just a little, I thought about going to the toilet that’s aall~」
Standing up by accepting the Prince’s help, I unsteadily walk towards a wall.
「Aー, mou, you’re drunk! Not that way, it’s this way.」
Unable to find the right direction, the Prince holds onto my shoulder and guides me to the toilet.
「Ahahahaha, well then, see you laater.」
Afterwards, my consciousness faded while sitting on the toilet.
wow! next chapter is from the oppai alien’s perspective
1. 「サクラ、久しぶりだな。元気にやっているようじゃないか」
2. 「なんだ？サクラは腹をすかせている私に、目の前で食事をしているのを見ていろというのか？」
3. その息子もな。バルシニア家も取り潰しとなった」
4. そうなっても仕方ないだけのことをした、と思うわたしの死に対する倫理観というのはこの世界の、夢で見た前世の影響を強く受けているのでしょうね。
