I Was Reincarnated as a Commoner. I Can’t Stand Living Like This, so I’ll Become an Aristocrat!

Volume 1-: Children of the Commoners

Chapter 42: Tea Party with the Princess

(TL By GUST)

I went to teach Martine several times about magic, and after a while, I was invited to a tea party.

　Catherine has a tea party with Elisabeth, so it seems to be a tea party with me and Martine. It is said that it will be completely paid for.

　Why are you two ...? I headed for the royal palace, wondering. Then, you will be guided to the eastern house in the garden of the North Palace.

　As Catherine taught me, this palace is divided into four parts, the central palace has the king's office and the audience room, the east palace is the main workplace of the officials, and the west palace is the knights. It seems that the main workplace and the northern palace are the residences of the royal family.

　Tea and sweets had already been prepared at Azumaya. I sit in a chair and wait for Martine.

　After waiting for a while, Martine came with an escort. And when Martine sat down, the escort went down to the point where he couldn't hear his voice.

"Hello, Leon. Thank you for coming today."

"Martine, I'm honoured to invite you."

　Today's Martine is wearing a more luxurious dress than usual, probably because it is a tea party, and she also wears a lot of decorations. Somehow, her face is so neat that it doesn't seem to be a reality in combination with her outfit ...

　I instinctively stared at Martine-sama. There really is such a cute person.

　And then I noticed a little later.

　………… Dangerous! I might have seen too much!

　I look away in a hurry. I was always careful not to stare at Martine too much.

　Because if you're not careful, you'll see it all the time, right?

　It's a lovely natural smile with a perfect appearance that God has done a lot of work! No matter how many times you look at it, you will fall in love with it!　

"Leon, I'm always telling you to break your attitude."

"But ... Martine is a princess."

"It doesn't matter because I'm saying good. I want to get along with you more."

　Martine said that and was angry with her cheeks bulging a little.

　Recently, Martine has always told me to break my attitude. It seems that I liked it for some reason.

　I'm very happy about that, but it's strange that the commoners call the princess abandoned.

　However, I'm gradually becoming unable to refuse.

"But there are eyes around me ..."

"That's right ... but today we're the only two of us. How about breaking your attitude when you're alone?"

　Just as Martine came up with a good idea, he shined his face and suggested that.

　Uh ... I have no excuse to refuse ...

　Well, if you're just two people, you won't be disrespectful to the people around you. It's unlikely that you'll be alone.

"OK, then only when we're alone."

"Yes, that's fine! So call me Martine. No honorifics!"

　Martine said so happily. I can't go against this smile! !! I nodded with a bitter smile.

"yes"

"I'm glad I got along with Leon! Leon is a classmate at the Royal School. I'm really looking forward to the Royal School."

　I see ... Is it a classmate at the royal school? I want to pretend I don't know and spend time quietly.

　But I'm from the Duke's family, so I'm sure it will stand out. I told you to help the Duke's power to improve, so it can't be helped anymore.

　However, all the attributes and the magical image are still hidden, so I wonder if I can make it inconspicuous. No, that wouldn't be possible ...

　The only time I can hide inconspicuously is until I enter the royal school. After that, at school, I will do my best as a commoner with the backing of the Duke's family, and when I graduate, will I announce all the attributes? That's why it seems to stand out all the time, such as getting an aristocratic rank ...

　Let's enjoy the common people now. I can only enjoy it now.

"At the royal school, nice to meet you. Martine, I'm glad I was a classmate."

　Oh! It's really hard to talk about! Honorifics are easier to speak at all. It's too calm to say that I don't use honorifics for the princess.

"It's kind of unnatural? I want you to talk more casually. You can think that I and Leon are on an equal footing."

　It doesn't seem like that! Not equal at all!

　But let's talk normally. Good luck with me. I remember talking to the girls in my class!

"understood"

　You could say it naturally now! ?? It's just one word ... but I feel like I can go. I'm getting used to it, as expected!

"Then, let's have a good time talking! I had a lot to ask Leon."

"Yeah. What do you want to hear?"

"What is Leon's favorite food?"

"Favorite food?"

"That's right! I don't know anything about Leon. I have to ask from the basics."

　Sure, we often meet in magic practice, but basically we don't talk about magic.

　What is my favorite food? When I was in Japan, it was sushi ... and pizza.

　Is there pizza in this world? There may be one, but I haven't seen it, so is it dangerous to answer?

　Well, if it's something in this world ... maybe French toast. The sweet food I ate after a long time was so strong and memorable that I fell in love with French toast.

"Is it French toast? What about Martine?"

"Oh, Leon likes sweets! I like it too. But my favorite food is pizza, right?"

"Pizza !? Is there pizza !?"

　I instinctively heard that.

"Yes, but why does Leon know? It was recently developed by a royal cook."

　Good luck ………… I've done it for the first time in a long time. I was so excited ...

"Well, uh, yes, I happened to hear it at the Duke of Townsend. Haha ..."

　I tried to deceive it, but Martine's suspicious gaze did not loosen. Rather, it is getting stronger.

"Pizza should only be made in the North Palace. Neither Richard nor Catherine can eat at the North Palace, so you shouldn't know."

　Uh ………… What should I do? How can I deceive you?

　Martine made a slightly difficult face as I was messed up inwardly, scratching my back with a cold sweat.

"I've always wanted to ask. My dad told me that I should never ask Leon, but I can't help but be worried. And what is Leon? I don't think it's to anyone who gets angry just because they're asked. "

"What do you want to hear ...?"

　Does Alexis ever stop listening to me? what? I don't get angry no matter what I ask ...

"No matter what you ask, you won't get angry?"

"Well ... I believe that word. Can I ask you a question? Can I keep it a secret when I hear this?"

　Are you asked so badly ...?

　I was a little nervous ………… I was a little nervous and swallowed my spit once and answered.

"I will not tell others what I am talking about now."

　When I said that, Martine looked at me with a serious expression and then took a little breath and decided to prepare.

"Thank you .... Then Leon can use magic of all attributes, right?"

"yes"

　Don't you all know that?

"And I have a lot of knowledge, even things that we royalty don't know."

"No……"

"We know one such person. He is an apostle."

"I've heard the story of the apostle from Richard, but I'm not the apostle, right?"

　You've already told this, right?

"Is that true? Isn't it hiding for some reason? Maybe others think Leon is an apostle, but for some reason he's an apostle. I don't think I can reveal it, so asking Leon about the apostle is treated as a contraindication. "

　Did that happen! ?? Well, if there is a child who has various knowledge with all attributes, it is natural to think so ...

"I'm not really an apostle. I didn't know there was an apostle until I heard it."

"Then, where did you get the knowledge, even if you can use all-attribute magic?"

　What should I do ... can I tell you the truth? It would be easier to decide to be an apostle, but I hate to lie ...

　Does Martine hate me even if she knows the truth? I'm already under the patronage of Alexis and Richard, so I don't think there will be a big impact if Martine hates me.

　………… But I don't want to be disliked. I'm getting along well.

　But just because you don't want to be hated doesn't mean you lie. He asked me head-on like this, so I want to respond to that too. I don't want to mess around somehow.

　I don't know if you can believe it, but let's tell the truth.

　Alright! I was enthusiastic, looked closely at Martine-sama's eyes, and started talking. Somehow I get back to honorifics from tension.

"I haven't told anyone what I'm going to talk about, and if possible, can I ask for it without saying anything else? I don't want it to be known to so many people."

"I see. I'm not going to tell anyone, just for this story."

"Thank you. I have a memory of living in a different world. I lived in a world completely different from this one, and maybe I was caught up in an explosion or something, and when I realized it, this world I was eight years old Leon. The source of my knowledge is all the knowledge I gained in the previous world. "

　When I said that, Martine made a difficult face and thought about it after making a face that he couldn't understand.

"Leon has a memory of living as a different person, right?"

"yes"

"And is it a country in another world, not this country or any other country in this world?"

"That's right"

"Is that possible ...?"

"I wouldn't believe it if I heard this from someone else, but it's true."

　Martine has been thinking about it for a while. Would it be creepy to talk about this? Or will you be laughed at when it's impossible?

　The uncomfortable time continued for a while. I'm nervous and sweating, but I'm sitting still and waiting.

　After a long time, Martine finally raised her face. The idea seems to be settled.

　Look straight into my eyes and tell with a dignified face that seems to have decided something.

"I will believe your words, and I will not tell anyone."

　At that point, Martine looked a little embarrassed and continued to speak.

"I think it's hard to live with a secret that no one can tell. You can tell me anything. First ... tell me about life in the world before Leon."

"Mr. Martine …………"

　The words of a nine-year-old girl made me almost cry. I wonder if I was more careful in this world than I thought. After all, I couldn't say to her mother or father.

　I felt relieved and found a place where I could expose my true self, and I was weakened.

　I smiled when I saw Martine laughing cutely with a gentle and slightly proud face.

"Martine, can you hear my old story?"

"Yes, of course. We are friends!"

　Martine replied with a very beautiful smile in full bloom.
