Chapter 129: Meet with Lady Hanae ①

Translated by AmaLynne

TN: It looks like I messed up the chapter a bit -,- . This is the correct next chapter after 128. Lady Alicia Has Someone She Likes ②. The 129. Hanae Come to The Mansion(previously) is supposedly Chapter 133.

Sorry for the mistake >.<

The day of the blind date arrived.

Sam, depressed from the morning, was seen off by the smiling face of his fiancée, Lise, who was accompanying Jonathan to a restaurant in the royal capital.

Jonathan is accompanying him as a father substitute.

He is the father of his fiancée and has always treated him like a son, so he was aptly suited for the role.

He was willing to go along without being asked.

That’s not surprising, since Sam is the fiancée of his daughter Lise. In other words, he is an important family member of Count Walker’s family.

We don’t even know if Sam is going to be a son-in-law or if Lise is going to be a daughter-in-law, but they are still family.

His beloved fiancée is away today, saying,「It would be strange if I went along with Sam on his blind date.」

Sam would like to take Lise with him and refuse, saying,「I’m sorry, I’m engaged to this person」, but that would cause a big problem.

Even if Sam were to refuse, he would have to make sure that the matchmaking was done properly and that he did not embarrass the other party.

「Ha, my stomach is starting to hurt.」

「Haha, Sam, what a coincidence. Me too.」

He and Jonathan walk into the restaurant, clutching their stomachs.

The restaurant『Jura』is built in a prime location in the royal city and is popular among the nobility.

The restaurant is always full of reservations, and it is said that even nobles of high rank cannot enter without a reservation.

Rumor has it that royalty also frequent the restaurant.

The interior of such a restaurant patronized by aristocrats was calm and simple.

However, even Sam could tell that it cost a lot of money.

The tables and chairs, as well as the paintings and vases decorating the restaurant, must have been quite expensive.

It was a little uncomfortable for Sam, who is a commoner.

(……I’ve never been to a restaurant with this kind of atmosphere in my previous life.)

When he lived in Japan, it was family restaurants and izakayas (Japanese-style pubs) with friends. Although he has been to Italian restaurants and the like, they were run by people he knew, so they were less intimidating.

Once he was taken to a fashionable bar, but it was still a friendly place.

Because of this, Sam felt intimidated by the atmosphere of the restaurant.

What’s more, he had a blind date waiting for him.

He felt his stomach ache.

「We have been waiting for you. Count Jonathan Walker, Samuel Scheidt, the Court Wizard. I am General Manager Thomas Jura.」

Sam and others were greeted by a man dressed in a classic suit.

Thomas Jura, who claimed to be the general manager, was a gray-haired man in his fifties with a soft smile on his face. He bowed politely to Sam and the others.

Sam also bowed hurriedly.

「Today, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for choosing our restaurant as the venue for the arranged marriage between Countess Murasaki and Walker. Magnolia-sama and Hanae-sama are already waiting for you in your rooms, and I will show you around.」

The general manager led us to a room in the back of the restaurant.

Perhaps noticing Sam’s curiosity at the fact that there was not a single guest in the room even though it was almost noon, Thomas told her that the room was reserved for a private party today.

Sam is stunned that a popular restaurant frequented by aristocrats would be rented out for the whole day.

When he asked Jonathan if he knew about it, he looked pale and shook his head.

Apparently, this was the arrangement made by Magnolia.

「I wonder if she intends to marry Sam to her granddaughter.」

Jonathan’s muttering gave Sam a headache.

Even Sam realizes that Magnolia is serious.

(I still think it’s a bad idea to have an arranged marriage with Lise-sama, but I don’t think it’s rude to suddenly refuse after they’ve gone so far. I don’t know about the nobility, but let’s not embarrass Magnolia-sama in the meantime.)

The general manager stops in front of the room and knocks lightly on the door.

「Count Jonathan Walker and Samuel Scheidt, court wizard, have arrived.」

Thomas opened the door.

In the room was Magnolia, smiling and drinking tea, and a woman a little older than Sam, with a pale face, waiting for him.

「I have been expecting you, Jonathan-dono and Samuel-dono.」

.

「Well, well, well, Magnolia-dono. I apologize for keeping you waiting.」

「No, it’s just that we came early. Please have a seat.」

The general manager pulled out a chair and Sam and the others sat down.

The woman sitting across from Sam gave us a long stare.

Meanwhile, Thomas bowed and left the room.

「I would like to quickly introduce my granddaughter. Hanae, say hello.」

「――Murasaki Hanae. First of all, let me tell you that I am not interested in this blind date.」

The woman who said this was Hanae――a woman with voluminous peach-colored hair in a ponytail, wearing a white ethnic costume――a garment similar to a Chinese dress in a previous life.

She seemed somewhat emotionless, but Sam could tell she was just bored.

Perhaps she is a person who does not show emotion.

She is the opposite of Lise, who often smiles.

However, she was as beautiful as Lise.

「Totally, I had nailed her to stop saying so many unnecessary things.」

At her granddaughter’s words, Magnolia sighed heavily, Jonathan held his stomach, and Sam

(Huh? Maybe it won’t go any further than an arranged marriage?)

Sam felt a little better about it.
