I Would Like To Live A Different Life If I Could Go Back In Time - Episode 20

I return to my room, change my clothes, and head to the clinic. Of course, I can’t skip walking there while fully equipped with recognition-inhibiting gear.

“Sensei, don’t you think my use of healing magic has improved quite a bit?”

“That’s right. Compared to the beginning, you’ve improved quite a bit. However, your control over magical power for treating delicate areas is still lacking. If you improve here, you’ll become a great healer.”

“Becoming a healer in the future sounds nice. But, you know, casting a big ‘bang’ attack spell on enemies might be more my style.”

“That’s right. Lady Yuria has changed. Of course, in a good way. She’s become more positive.”

“It’s thanks to the people who supported me!”

“By the way, what will you be doing during your long vacation, Yuria-sama?”

“As for me, I want to stay in the dormitory forever, but my parents might say something if they hear bad things about it. If I go home once and they don’t say anything, I think I’ll go back to the dormitory.”

“It depends on your lordship’s thoughts, but that would be the best option.”

After talking with Professor Paron, I also informed Eme. Eme was very worried about returning to the mansion alone.

I felt heavy-hearted, but after returning to the dorm and writing a letter to my father, I received a reply after a while.

“To Yuria. I was surprised by your grades at the academy. They are excellent, and that’s the most important thing. Keep up the good work with your studies. You don’t have to return to the mansion, but make sure to attend the tea party held at the palace. A maid will be sent tomorrow with a dress, so please follow her instructions.”

Only the bare minimum of words was written.

As always. But I don’t mind.

I can spend time in the dormitory! Rather, I was happy with my father’s words.

I immediately contacted Professor Paron and Eme to let them know that I could go help from the morning.

Moreover, since the guild’s requests were tied to the academy, I could only take on nearby tasks, but during this period, I can go a bit further without being disturbed by anyone!

I’m excitedly making plans for my time off.

By the way, I thought only balls were held at the palace, but it seems I also have to attend tea parties this year.

Sigh, I’m feeling heavy-hearted about this.

The end-of-term ceremony the next day.

“Leez is going home, right?”

“Yes. What about Lady Yuria?”

“I’ve decided to stay in the dorm as it is. There’s no place for me at home anyway, so I’ll just spend my time studying.”

After having lunch with Liz, we parted ways in front of the academy gate. There are many carriages coming and going at the gate today.

It seems there are still many students waiting for the carriage. I’m going back to the dormitory to prepare for tomorrow.

After a while, the head maid of the mansion arrived with three maids. The maids measured everything about me, from my height to my shoulder width.

“Lady Yuria, I had the designer from the trading company who comes to our house prepare some design sketches. Please choose a few from these.”

Receiving a bundle of papers from the head maid, I begin to check the designs. There are several design sketches prepared for tea party dresses, castle visit outfits, and dance dresses that can also be worn at balls.

And among them, there were some dresses that I had worn in the past.

Ah, if I remember correctly, this dress was the one the viscount’s daughter spilled tea on during the tea party. And this dress was the one the prince said was plain when we had tea in the castle courtyard, right?

This and that were praised by the queen, but the next day, the maid cut them with scissors.

The maid did it under the orders of Lady Clara Brenst. In other words, the maid was bribed.

Even just thinking about the dress brings back unpleasant memories.

This time, I haven’t been nominated at all, so nothing special has been done. I think they probably haven’t bribed our maid.

“Head maid, for the tea party, it’s this dress and this dress, plus two more, right? The other dresses are this one and this one, and if needed, ready-made ones are fine.”

While trying not to show it on my face, I’ll choose a dress and add a few finishing touches where it’s lacking.

I don’t want to wear the same things as in the past, but I don’t want to catch the eyes of His Highness and the young ladies, so I chose items that were neither plain nor extravagant.

The head maid asked me if this was really okay, but I replied that it didn’t matter since I wouldn’t be invited to any tea parties anyway.

It seems that the head maid will choose the accessories later. And once the dress is finished, it will be kept at the mansion, so I was told to return to the mansion the day before the tea party.

Vacation starting tomorrow!

It’s the long-awaited vacation!
