Farewell, Villa in the Mountain

Translated by: Convallaria’s Library

Well then, the last day finally arrived.

Today, we would be returning by the carriages from the morning, so the employees were working hard to load the luggage. Most of the luggage had been collected by last night, but since there were small things left behind, in the end the preparations were still ongoing noisily until the very last minute.

Apart from that, my family had a leisure breakfast. No, it wasn’t that leisure. I still had to pack my luggage too, so I should spare some time. If you wanted to say that it was just an excuse, then say it, since it was the truth.

And, as I ate this morning’s salad, I thought of something. There was cheese in its content, but it somehow felt refreshing. This isn’t Godou-san’s cheese, right?

“This cheese, could it be Gadou-san’s, perhaps?”

When I spontaneously tried to ask Godou-san, he nodded deeply and said, “Yes.”

“I heard that Seiren-sama prefers my brother’s cheese. If that’s the case, I decided to use it today as it is the last day.”

“I’m sorry, and thank you very much.”

Whoaa. I think he knows that Saryuu loves Godou-san’s cheese, but despite that, he decided to match it up for me? I’m so happy.

Ah, but the cream soup’s taste is…

“Of course, I also used my own cheese.”

“Yeah, in this soup, right?”

“As one would expect.”

See. When I drank the soup, I clearly felt the slight difference between the cheeses. I also know that this is Godou-san’s cheese.

Saryuu seemed to understand it as well, and he had been taking another cup of the soup ever since some time ago.

“As I expected, Godou’s cheese is delicious. Actually, I want this to be made even in our house, but the taste will turn out different than the one made here, right?”

“Yes, that is right. Because the [henchman] who’s making the cheese will also be different.”

‘Hahaha,’ Godou-san laughed as if he was having fun and his expression was so boastful, and he looked somehow reliable this way.

The henchman that he spoke of in this case is the bacteria that worked to make the cheese. It seemed that fermented foods’ taste was affected by the bacteria who worked hard inside of that food. I think that perhaps the people in this world never saw the bacteria, but I wonder how they understood about that kind of thing? I wonder if they have ever seen bacteria by using magic?

Shortly after breakfast ended, it was time for our departure, so by the time we went out to the entranceway, we encountered a familiar face that it felt as if this was arranged in advance. Can I really say this as an encounter?

“Good morning, Seiren-sama, everyone.”

He appeared. The charming prince on a white horse, no, I mean the next feudal lord. Today, he’s wearing an indigo blue outfit, and there’s a bright-colored stole hanging by his shoulders. Could this person be camouflaged in the sky like this?

“G, good morning, Taiga-san.”

“Good morning, Nii-sama.”

“Oh my, oh my. Taiga-dono, what’s the matter for visiting this early in the morning?”

“I heard that the Shiiya will be going back today, so I came here to send you all off.”

Next to me and Saryuu whose face cramped, Kaa-san showed a bright smile. Taiga-san also showed his refreshing smile just as usual. Tou-san who appeared from behind us whispered with a low voice, “Why is he here?” that his voice couldn’t be heard clearly. No, even I was wondering about it, too.

Oh- well-, would someone please stand in my shoes? I wonder if his parents have talked about the matter of marriage talks between us to him? For the time being, Tou-san has refused the marriage talks, but the person himself was obviously in high spirits.

“When I think about it, if I’m not wrong, Seiren-sama’s a bit weak on riding carriages, right?”

“Y, you remember it well…”

“Yeah. Since it’s the details that came out during our first time meeting.”

Putting on the pressure, huh, Taiga-san? Well, by this world’s standard, remaining a bachelor at 28 years old is considered late, but I wonder if it’s okay for you to choose a woman who’s a man inside even without you knowing about it?

“I will be escorting you on Genjirou until we reach the village where we first met. Please go on ahead.”

“Genjirou?”

“Yeah. It’s the name of my horse.”

When he decisively said that, instinctively fell over on the inside.

Isn’t the naming sense for animals of people in this world amazing? Like Gonzou or Genjirou.

Putting that aside, I’ll be saved by riding on a horse until halfway of our route. Perhaps if I were to return by riding a carriage all the way, by the time I arrived at the mansion, it seemed like I would have no hope of recovery.

Oh well, with me riding on the horse in front of Taiga-san, we departed from the villa. I waved my hands from the top of the horse towards Godou-san who sent us off while saying, “Please do come here again-!”

Ah, today, I didn’t sit with one of my legs out to one side, I properly straddled the front half of my body to the saddle. As one would expect from sitting with one leg out to the side, the stability would be bad. And if I were to cling to Taiga-san the whole time, it would definitely hinder him.

I have never tried riding a horse either in this world or in the other world, but for the time being, I firmly put my legs on each side of the horse’s side and assumed a straight body posture. Yeah, it seemed to be fine this way.

“Seiren-sama. If your body feels too tense, please don’t hesitate and lean on me.”

“Haha. If I feel like that, then I will do it.”

I didn’t bother to think whether Taiga-san’s words when we were riding the horse were just a frivolous talk or a serious talk.

On top of Genjirou who was steadily advancing, suddenly Taiga-san started a conversation with me.

“Thank you for your letter. Also, thank you very much for your concern.”

“Eh, ah, haa. I’m glad that it was delivered safely.”

“Yeah. For now, please be rest assured as I am completely alright.”

“Yeah.”
