Older Brother, calmed downAfter Princess Patricia and Gaspar laughed for a while, they stared at each other with a serious expression.
[Although it was pretty funny, you will have to put distinction] (TN: けじめは付けさせてもらうわね)
Princess Patricia pointed her hardened fist at Gaspar adopting a fighting stance.
—- That's right, this princess has also practiced fighting and swordsmanship.
I remembered the setting of the original game.
It was uncertain if it was before or after the engagement but, he should have been encouraged to become a suitable marquis of a military family.
Even amateurs would be shocked if the commonly imagined princess couldn't be finished by a single strike. (TN: 素人目にも、いわゆる一般的にイメージされるお姫様がぺちんと叩くだけでは済まないという凄みが感じられる)
[I don't mind. That much—I have done more than that]
When Gaspar put down the packaged on the round table which he had held under his arm the moment he entered the room, facing Princess Patricia, he resolutely answered.
[Excellent. Clench your teeth] (TN: 歯を食いしばりなさい)
As Gaspar was told, at once the sing of grinding teeth was transmitted.
Hey hey, is it alright? No matter how much did you clench your teeth, bleeding can be prevented but it would still swell up.
Michelin and Prince Edward, although Bruno is watching with a nervous looking face, there isn't any sing of entering to stop them.
Certainly, this is the problem of the two of them.
But for an incident to happen to the Princess being beaten by a marquis eldest child in the guest room, and to detain interruption it should be resolve in here (TN: 俺に与えられた客間で王女が侯爵家長子を打擲という事件が起きてしまうのは外聞的にどうなのかとも思うが、ここで横槍を入れるべきではないとこちらも腹をくくる。)
Go for it Gaspar, I will pick up the bones! (TN: 骨は拾ってやるぞ！)
[I will proceed] (TN: or better "I'm coming"? 行くわよ)
[Ah]
Princess Patricia unleash a fist with the momentum of a lightning, Gaspar collapsed on spot while holding his stomach.
[Stomach!?]
Seriously, this princess, to say to clench his teeth but actually preying at his stomach.
Nevertheless, it's considerably sharp.
This, in a sense this situation is also in my previous life memories, but I think this world is unprecedented.
No, by itself it's unprecedented that a princess hit a marquis son after all, nevertheless it's a crazy behavior over the wheel. (TN: それでも輪をかけて突拍子もない行動だ)
Prince Edward eyes widened opened in a circle.
He is very surprised.
As the elder brother, next to me is my younger sister who is watching Prince Edward with a surprised look [ Edward-sama surprised expression is nice too]. Little sister I think it's not the time to be paying attention in that way. (TN: なお兄としては、その隣で「驚いた顔のエドワーズ様も素敵」的な表情で王子を見ている妹にもびっくりだけど。そっちに注目している場合ではないだろう我が妹よ )
Bruno is, thought he has a surprised expression, it soon transformed into an expression of noticing something.
[…… I was surprised. I thought I noticed, that I didn't even put on any force]
Princess Patricia looked at Gaspar with a stunned expression, he grasped his own fist he shot with his left hand. (TN: 彼に撃ち込んだ自身の拳を左手で握り締めた)
[…… To the extent of leaving a mark at a conspicuous place, I don't think that her highness the Princess would be so thoughtless]
Gaspar slowly stood up.
It was amazing that he could read the princess behavior, despite knowing that he didn't put any strength in his abdominal muscle, I'm speechless.
A human, possess a behavior called reflex. If there is a threat to you, one would expect to take almost automatically an action when in the situation.
To stop it by your own will! (TN: それを自分の意思で禁じるとは！)
[Perhaps, you were worried that my wrist would get hurt, good grief……]
Princess Patricia turned on the side and gently caress her fist.
Ah, somehow the course of event is good.
[……Alright, go and visit your friend quickly]
Somehow, she seemed to be displeased I think.
Princess Patricia turned her back against the round table, walking to the end in the room.
Maidens heart are complicated………
For a while Gaspar was looking at the back of such a princess, he quietly bowed then returned to the round table opening the package.
What was inside is a book.
Somewhat in some places it doesn't look thick, is it a picture book? (TN: あまり厚くないところを見ると)
With that, Gaspar came toward me.
[Marcel, I'm sorry for troubling you although I came to visit you]
[Ah, no……really. Is everything alright? It seemed to have been quite good fist]
I hesitate, but I eventually gave a worried word. (TN: 結局素直に心配の言葉を口にする)
[It was a good blow…… Good gracious, I didn't plan to stick my knee] (TN: 膝を付くつもりはなかったのだが)
Gaspar gave a bitter smile, praise was also included in those words.
[So then, what is that book? You didn't tell me when you came here]
Bruno also stood up and came toward me.
Gaspar reflexively moved to protect the book.
[……Honestly, I don't even know why I brought it in here. Still I thought I should try to–] (TN: Help me with this part -やっぱり無かった事にしようかなとも思ったんだが――)
For some reason Gaspar is strangely restless about something.
[Well, please look. It's my treasure]
Wait, this line maybe—
I'm startled.
This is, Gaspar favorite line when announcing his love for animals.
Gaspar opened the book while blushing a little.
There are pictures of kittens and a young Gaspar playing in it. (TN: それと戯れる今より少し幼いガスパールの写真が収められていた。)
I didn't notice it because of the different format.
Gaspar secrets hobby is to take picture of the cats of the house. Furthermore, this picture was taken using a magic tool, the noble's houses has it but generally it isn't a popular product.
[Uwaaa! The cat is so cute~]
Michelin cried out with delight, I noticed that near the window Princess Patricia shoulder reacted with a flutter.
[Kya–, Elder Brother! Edward-sama, it's a kitten a kitten!]
Princess Patricia is moving slowly at a time while pretending to be unconcerned.
[He-, Gaspar house keep a lot of cats. But, why hide it in particular?](TN: 別に隠すような事じゃないんじゃない？)
Bruno thought it was strange and asked.
[Well, that-that is, for a son of a military family, it would be strange that I like to play with animals……]
Gaspar said slightly embarrassed.
That is adorable. I won't say it since he might get angry.
Oh, Princess Patricia is approaching a little again.
[Well, why not? I think it's nice to hold animals affectionately. Here, these kittens seemed to be very relieved by clinging to Gaspar]
Bruno says with a loud voice.
This guy seemed like he also noticed Princess Patricia attitude.
[I think it's nice to be fond of animals! Isn't Edward-sama]
[Yes, actually my sister too—pigu]
Princess Patricia who was approaching here, closed Prince Edward mouth from behind who was starting to speak.
Everyone gaze was gathered.
[Well, I think it's a good thing to like animals, er—]
Princess said a positive remark even though he hadn't say anything.
I see.
[……Would you like to see it too Princess Patricia?]
[……Please let me see]
Princess Patricia accept merrily Gaspar invitation albeit reluctantly. (TN: ガスパールの誘いを、パトリシア王女は不承不承を装いつつ嬉々として受けるのだった )
