Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 61.2
“There’s no point in dwelling on it now, and talking about it will only make me feel worse. Fulmelinta is already decided, so I might as well enjoy it, don’t you think?”
“You’re right…”
Today, Araseli isn’t dressed in her usual maid attire but is wearing clothes befitting a noble lady.
No, not a lady—a noblewoman.
Araseli has officially become Araseli Kirikaze through marriage, adopted by Ludienne.
“In the country I used to live in, there’s a tradition called a honeymoon.”
“Honeymoon…?”
“Yeah, it’s a trip newlyweds take together. Just like Araseli and me now.”
“Lord Yuto…”
“We’re married now, so you don’t need to call me ‘Lord,’ Araseli.”
“Yuto…”
I kissed Araseli, who was blushing.
I was curious what it would be like to do it in a moving carriage, but I held back.
However, even if the weather is favorable and we make good progress, it’ll take ten days to reach Fulmelinta.
Whether I can hold back the whole time… I’m not too confident.
Having been cooped up in the castle, I didn’t know, but the capital of the Kingdom of Yurefelt is surrounded by a wide moat fed by the river.
After crossing the bridge over the moat, the number of buildings quickly decreased, and rice paddies spread out before us.
Summer is over, and under the blue sky, which hints at the arrival of autumn, the ripened grains sway.
I’m no expert in farming, but it looks like a bountiful harvest.
“That’s quite a large rice field.”
“Yes, the area around the capital is known for its rice production. In regions farther from the river, wheat and potatoes are the main crops.”
The carriage journey required frequent stops to rest the horses, making it proceed at a leisurely pace compared to traveling in Japan.
At the rest stops, there were tea houses offering tea with a flavor similar to Chinese tea, as well as cookies and sticky rice dumplings called *chimaki*.
The *chimaki*, steamed glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves, was eaten with a topping of jam made from boiled nuts or crushed walnuts.
Its simple flavor was quite pleasant, adding to the feeling of being on a trip.
There were no cars like in Japan, nor were there planes or helicopters flying overhead.
There weren’t any tourists carrying cameras either, making it feel as if we had traveled to a hidden spot overseas.
“Ah, this is nice. Really nice.”
“Hehe, Yuto-sama seems more suited to life outside the castle.”
“Now that I think about it, I feel like I’ve always been working frantically. So, this kind of relaxed time feels really good. Also, you don’t need to add ‘sama’ when talking to me.”
“Oh… that’s right, Yuto.”
“Araseli…”
As we exchanged a kiss in front of the tea house, our caretaker Othello smiled wryly but made no move to stop us.
Othello, a slightly overweight man in his forties with dark brown hair starting to recede, had only arranged two rest stops and lunch so far, but he was as efficient as a capable tour conductor.
Originally, I had no intention of taking on any responsibilities, but his ability to handle things without needing my involvement made it very comfortable.
“My, Lord Kirikaze and Lady Araseli really do get along well.”
“Of course, after surviving the battle with the wyvern together and finally getting married, it’s no wonder we get along.”
