The Neighborhood High School Girl, Miss Isezaki, Is the Great Saintess Returned from Another World~ And I, Suddenly Awakened as Her Exclusive Mana Supply Uncle, Travel Between Earth and Another World with Time-Space Magic~ - 27. Levia
27. Levia
Levia Carius of the Carius Earldom, in other words, the princess of this territory.
It seems that Isezaki-san knows the lord of this territory, and perhaps Levia-sama also knows Isezaki-san. Given Isezaki-san’s complexion, it’s almost certain.
—Well, it’s a bit concerning, but it’s not the time to be dazed when introducing oneself to a noble. I hastily stood up.
“As a foreigner, please forgive my rudeness. I am the traveling merchant Matsunaga.”
“—And I am his wife, Isezaki.”
Isezaki-san also bowed in response to me. Despite her complexion, it seems she’s not too flustered, which is a relief.
By the way, Isezaki-san’s name here is Isezaki. It didn’t seem appropriate to keep using Seina, so I asked her again about her name here, and she preferred Isezaki.
I suggested giving her a cute name, but according to Isezaki-san, she doesn’t feel like a wife when called by another name; she wants to at least be called by her given name. I’m not quite sure what she means by feeling like a wife.
After our introductions, Levia-sama flashed a friendly smile that didn’t seem very noble.
“You’ve come from a foreign land, so there’s no need to be so formal. Shall we talk about sweets instead?”
I had sensed this since she came in; she doesn’t seem to care much about manners, like a typical princess. It’s somewhat reassuring.
It doesn’t seem like Isezaki-san’s true identity has been revealed either, so let’s just proceed calmly like this.
“In that case, Levia-sama, could you please tell us which sweets you liked?”
“This one!”
From among the various sweets on the table, Levia-sama pointed decisively at the White Delight.
“I’ve never tasted anything like this before. It’s sweet and yet refined. Just thinking about it makes my mouth happy!”
Levia-sama hugged herself and wriggled while wearing a blissful expression. It seems like she’s really hooked on it.
“If that’s the case, as a token of acquaintance—”
As I said this and offered the White Delight, Levia-sama gently grabbed my hand.
“Matsunaga, that won’t do. I’ll pay you properly. Come here, Holly!”
“Yes.”
She must have been waiting outside the door. A chestnut-haired woman in maid attire entered the reception room.
When Levia-sama said “that” shortly, the maid took out a leather bag from her bag and handed it to me.
I think this is the payment for the sweets, but is it really okay to accept it? I have no idea about the taboos of nobles.
Glancing at Ryas, he nodded slightly. It seems to be okay.
“Well then, I’ll take it.”
Saying so, I placed the leather bag in front of me. Seeing this, Levia nodded in satisfaction.
“The first is for those sweets, but of course, I love the other sweets as well. I’ll purchase them through the company later. Thank you very much!”
Ryas bowed his head with a relieved expression on his face. If everything gets bought, it’s a good deal for business, after all.
“By the way, about your wife… Isezaki, was it?”
Levia-sama leaned toward Isezaki-san and stared intently.
“Y-Yes.”
Isezaki-san, with an unusually nervous tone.
“You… have very beautiful hair. I wonder what kind of care you do?”
“N-No, nothing special…”
Isezaki-san answered with her head down, and Levia-sama leaned in close to her as if to cross the table.
“Don’t lie. You have such a nice smell… Sniff, sniff. Ah, it smells really good… It feels somewhat nostalgic… Sniff, sniff, haa, haa, it’s nice, haa, haa!”
“W-W-We use shampoo from our country! Levia-sama!”
As Isezaki-san leaned back in surprise at being approached, Levia-sama blinked as if she came to her senses.
“—Huh! W-What was I… saying? Y-Yes, shampoo, right. Does it exist as a product, Matsunaga?”
“I’m currently out of stock. If Levia-sama wishes, I will procure it next time, and you can purchase it from Ryas-sama…”
“Yes. Then please do so! Haha, I had a feeling today would bring a good encounter. I’m really glad I came! Well then, excuse me. Ohohohoho!”
Laughing loudly, Levia-sama and the maid left. As expected, blond vertical curls laugh loudly… While thinking so, I waited for the storm to pass.
