Chapter 17: I don’t have a suitable dress
<hr>
The negotiations with Ricardo succeeded. It seems the other side had heard about how I said something to grandfather to break off the engagement and was appreciative.
I began to get tired of the lemon rinse, so I started to make one using limes and plums instead.\n<h6>Lime Juice (Left) and Plum Juice (Right)</h6>
Recently, it seems the servants working in the kitchen had become accustomed to my eccentricity.
“Britney. It seems the lemon trees from the neighboring territory have arrived.”
While I was making a rinse in my manufacturing room, my cousin Ryuze entered.
It seems that a large number of lemon trees will be planted near the shoreline. In addition, taking this opportunity a few olive trees were sent as well.
Ricardo was a lot more generous than I thought.
“Around two weeks from now, I will visit a lemon field for inspections. Would Britney like to go with me?”
“I would really like to go, but Ojii-sama had suddenly planned a tea party… it overlaps with that date.”
“So that’s the case, it can’t be helped. Britney likes tea parties after all.”
Apparently, it seems that Ryuze held the misunderstanding that I like tea parties.
I’m reluctant to let that misunderstanding continue, so let’s quickly give an explanation.
“… Ojii-sama was concerned about how I was getting along with the servant’s children. He thought it would be good for me to make friends among the noble’s daughters. I don’t have any confidence that I will be able to, however.”
Due to my past faux pas, I am sure I will be met with enmity.
Besides, a past tea party was the origin of my chubbiness. In truth, I want to refuse the tea party… but, as the written invitations have already been sent out I cannot do so for risk of damaging Ojii-sama’s honor.
At the very least, I will request the cook to make some healthy treats.
“Aa, I see. Onii-sama, I had made a shampoo but…”
“One moment, what is that?”
“It’s like a soap for washing your hair.”
“I see. I would like to try it, so would you please leave some in the hot spring?”
“Understood.”
The shampoo I made in my free time uses oil, essential oil, and honey.
The food in this world is nearly the same as my previous life. However, what can be collected in our territory is limited.
Adzuki beans, brown cane sugar, table salt, and whatnot can be used as a substitute, so it might be good to make a shampoo using them instead.\nTranslator’s Corner:
Understandably, I could not find a good single image for these dresses LOL. Poor Britney. Well, please continue fighting against your fate for our amusement~.
EDIT: Thank you to Vivi (MyVividDreams) for the fan drawings of the dresses! I added them in to the story and I really like how they turned out! Check out her Tumblr here LINK.
