21
When I returned to the terrace after the chat with his highness the crown prince, it was already too late and the tea party had an air of coming to an end.
It seems the conversation went a long time beyond expectations.
It seemed that his highness did not intend to talk for so long, so we will continue again on another date, in a hurry I returned to the seat.
At any rate, I grew immensely worn out listening to complicated discussions.
There are many things I would like to ask Otou-sama when I get home, but for the time being not today.
I decided to hurry home.
As I entered the residence from the gate, there were a great number of carriage lined side by side at the entranceway.
What is this…… I wonder if there is something today.
As I descended the horse-drawn carriage and entered the entryway, Sisie was lying in wait.
“Welcome home, Ojou-sama. It is serious!”
“I’m home(Tadaima) Sisie. Somehow it appears like a lot of guests(okyaku-sama/customers) have come……I wonder was there something today?”
It is unusual for the normally relatively composed Sisie to be in such a panic. While heart thumping(dokidoki) I prompted for the previous point.
“We were flooded with orders for balance shoes…… And for some reason, If ordered within today…… something like, If you buy two pairs it comes with another pair, told something as such. From Duke houses to Baron houses, on top of that merchants of the town made use of the service entrance area to the extent it is full!”
“Ehhhhhhh!”
“Danna-sama and Oku-sama too are dealing with it, we’ve also called Ed the shoe craftsman to come deal with it, with the excessive number of orders……”
Sisie is teary eyed.
There there(Yoshiyoshi) I gently stroke Sisie’s shoulder to calm her down.
“Inquire the name and request of the guests and let us have them return for today. Later we will hear their order again at a another time. I will move to my parents’ location once I get a change of clothes.”
“Certainly!”
Like that Sisie hurriedly turn herself around.
“It has become a serious matter. I have to think about the future correspondence.”
I hurried towards my room.
Once the reception ended and calmed down at last, most of the evening had already gone by. My parents seem to have been exhausted so they’ve gone off to the bedroom early.
I was surprised at the rush of orders for balance shoes which I could not sell at all so far, I am very happy that the balance shoes which I’ve had great confidence in seems to have been recognized by the world.
However the business scale gradually became larger, until now Signora which I had left up to Sisie and Ed has stopped functioning.
“Sisie! I will establish a company(Shoukai/firm)! So let us conduct Signora’s shoe marketing.”
“A company…… That is…… Rescued(tasukarimasu).” (TLN; I can’t tell if she is saying save her or if she is saved, with my limited mtl so I’ve left it ambiguous….)
Chased dealing with Okyaku-samas, Sisie who was running around is gasping(for air).
To sit down on my sofa, excuse me, however I used the arm rest. Seemingly cold eyes were turned.
“Is it, alright(Da, daijoubu)? Shall we have some tea?”
“No, I will have tea for Ojou-sama……”
Gudegude while hesitating, until now gudegude doing so, you would not think an Ojou-sama. (TLN: I seriously need help with this sentence ぐでぐでしながら遠慮しているが、ここまでぐでぐでしていたら、すでにお嬢様もなにもないと思う。 Really have very little clue what it means.)
“Do not hold back. Now there is only us alone in this room, won’t you have tea with me?”
“I am also here……”
“Owah”
I didn’t notice. On the carpet in the corner of the room, Ed was like a corpse lying on the floor.
“Ed……was it……”
“Yes…… The report to come up is…… I am exhausted.”
“Good job(otsukaresama). Today for the time being it would be good to return after drinking tea. Regarding the establishment of the company Ed too will also have to persevere, let us make that discussion tomorrow.”
I quickly made the tea, taken out together with the sweets that had been hidden in the cupboard.
“To hide sweets in such a place…… This tea, its delicious huh.”
Oops(Shimatta). The hidden midnight snacks(yashoku/4th meal) was exposed.
“Its true, you are good at making tea.”
Because Ed praised the tea, I will take advantage of the opportunity and cheat(deceive).
“Ufufu, it is made with herbs from the garden. Herbal tea with relaxing effects.”
I discovered it with Bob-jiisan while fiddling around in the garden. In this world black tea is commonplace, since this type of herb tea doesn’t seem to be drunk I made it myself.
The basis is a former housewife so it is a simple task to make tea.
Tea being the case.
“Ojou-sama! This herbal tea? Something like this can be sold well! It is very tasty.”
“Really(Oh yeah)? In that case let’s make this a commodity product of the company.”
“So right after……”
As the three of us elaborated the concept for the company it has become very late, It was decided to end the conversation and have the discussion again tomorrow.
