Because I've Been Reincarnated As A Girl I Just Want To Do Yuri Things, But Things Aren't Going Well - 131

T/N:Night Crawling is a Japanese practice of men climbing into unmarried womens houses at night and then asking for sex. If the woman consented, they would. This was allegedly common practice for finding a spouse.

I told Alexandra about my encounters and partings with everyone. How many times has this explanation been given? I have explained it many times, so the story flows smoothly and the order is neat, so it feels like Im reading out a script.

And thats why I feel something is wrong. I wonder if it sounds like Im making up a story if I talk so smoothly and without getting stuck on when to say what. But that worry seemed unnecessary.

In the first place, I decided to explain this again on this occasion to make sure that there are no lies or contradictions by speaking in a place where other people are present so that they can corroborate.

In that case, do you think that Katharina alone would have been enough? Thats wrong. It is also to prove that there was no lie in them listening to the parts theyve heard but Alexandra has not. Until now, I was the only person who could tell Alexandras story. Now that Alexandra herself has corroborated her section, it proves I wasnt lying.

Haa Flora why are you like this.? Oh, enough of that Alexandra said, holding her forehead and shaking her head.

What did she mean by that?

Well, isnt it alright in the end? Katharina said. Miss Flora has saved you thanks to all of this, didnt she?

Ah, thats right, Claudia said. Now that you mention it, its exactly as Katharina said. If things ended with her, we wouldnt have stood a chance at all.

Im the only one who cant keep up. Everyone nodded as if they understood, but I was the only one who had no idea what was going on.

Certainly, thanks to Flora being like this, there is still no settlement yet, but please wait, Alexandra said. After me, there was Princess Mikoto Vandenlissenno, is it supposed to be Princess Sumeragi Mikoto? You had an affair with Princess Mikoto, yes?

Huuh!? About that Katharina suddenly became frosty to me and then left my home, so I thought that she was tired of me. I got into a falling out with Louisa, and Claudia unambiguously dumped me. Since we were becoming codependent, I chose to drive Mikoto away in order to cure the symptoms.

Compared to them, its true that Alexandra and I werent forced apart by personal problems, and instead by something we couldnt do anything about then. If the two of us had been lovers, it would certainly be a story like I cheated on her with each of them because we were separated but not broken up. But wait a minute.

Hey, wait a minute! Its true that Alexandra and I were separated by circumstances, and we werent separated because of some kind of personal falling out. Isnt it strange to say that I cheated on her because I became close to her? I said. In the first place, Alexandra and I werent even dating?!

Yes. If we were indeed dating, you could have taken it like I was cheating with local girls while in a long-distance relationship. But I dont think Alexandra and I were dating, to begin with, so I dont think I should be accused of cheating because I got close to another girl.

Thats about right well, thanks to that, it seems like I still have a chance even though we already broke up once, so thats a relief Claudia said.

I think youre a little too insensitive, Floto? Lousia said. You dont understand a womans heart, do you?

Doki!Louisas words pierced me. Thats the thing. I wear the form of a woman on the outside, but Im a man on the inside. Could it be that they know Im a man inside?

Well, I wonder if Miss Flora is better like this Katharina said.

Thats right. I think shes cuter this way, Claudia said.

Well, Im sure this is fine, Alexandra said. I understand the circumstances. In other words, the five of us should protect Flora.

Hmm? Protect? What do you mean? Its becoming a train of discussion that I cant understand. I understand if Im going to protect everyone, but will I be protected by everyone? From what?

Miss Flora wouldnt it be better for you to take a rest soon? Isabella asked after knocking on the door.

Come to think of it, yes, it would. Its already quite late. Claudia and Louisa have to go home, so its probably best to part ways soon.

Or do they want to sleep with me tonight? No matter if theyre sent out in a carriage, you cant go outside at this time. In Japan, its okay for a woman to walk alone at night, but not in this world.

Its just that their families in their homes might be worried. If you say youre going to stay at my house for the day, anyway, itd be fine, but if you dont come back for a night, your family will be worried. Lets just ask them, shall we?

What about you two, Louisa, Claudia? Its already late tonight, so would you like to stay here for tonight? I asked.

Hmm I did say Id be out late, but I didnt say I wouldnt come home today, so I wonder if my family would be worried Louisa said.

Im the same, Claudia said. I was planning to go home today, and I have to go to the royal castle tomorrow.

Well, I guessed as much. Their families will be worried and it will interfere with tomorrows duties. Its a little late, but its better to live as usual.

Then Alexandra is the only one staying at my house, I said. Will you be going to your room now?

Thats what I expected. I thought there was nothing wrong with it. Without even realizing that it was the beginning of something important after this

Wait a minute, Floto. What did you just say? Claudia said.

Will Lady Alexandra sleep in this house? Louisa asked.

Both of them are scary. I wonder what happened all of a sudden. House Lingerburg doesnt have a mansion in the royal capital, so considering their personal safety, they will be living here for the time being. Thats what it was

House Lingerburg does not have a mansion in the royal capital, and the danger of being targeted has not yet disappeared, so we will have them live together with us in the Carruthers Residence for a while, Katharina explained in my stead.

Hearing that, Claudia and Louisa turn their heads back mechanically and stiffly like a robot thats run out of oil. Scary

If thats the case, can I stay the night too?! Claudia cried.

Yes! Id like to ask that, too! Louisa said.

Wh-What happened to you two all of a sudden? I said.

As I saw the two of them suddenly change their appearance, I can only back down even though Im confused. The auras radiating from them were so intense that I felt I shouldnt have asked.

Then I will send a messenger to Claudia and Louisas homes to tell them that they will be staying at the Carruthers Residence tonight, Katharina said. Ill show you both to your rooms, please come with me.

As if she knew what was going to happen, Katharina quickly proceeded to clear things up. All I could do was nod.

By the way, nothing happened that day. Katharina, Louisa, Claudia, and Alexandra seemed to have slept together in one room. I dont know why. Concerning Alexandra, I think shed be fine in a single room or a room with her mother, Gabriella, but Im afraid to ask about it in detail, and its better not to ask.

I dont know what the four of them were doing in one room all night, but I felt like I shouldnt get too deep into it, so I decided to ignore it.

There was no night crawling or sneaking into rooms last night, and the morning greeted us normally. I was a little sleepy today, but everyone else was awake when I went to breakfast after doing my daily training with my parents before sunrise.

If you think about it from modern Japans perspective, it might feel like waking up quite early, but this is normal in this world. It costs money just to turn on the light at night. Its not like modern Japan where electricity runs 24 hours a day and the lights turn on with the flick of a switch.

Firewood, oil, candles, etc. must be consumed in order to get light, and even then it is difficult to say that there is enough light. People in those days generally got up at sunrise and finished their errands by sunset.

Of course, its not that they never stayed up at night, so just because its dark doesnt mean theyre going to sleep immediately. But most of them sleep without doing too much. Especially poor people who cant secure the light cant do anything because it will be pitch black.

Thats why everyone was up shortly after sunrise. Louisa said that after breakfast she would go to the farm once she got home. It seems that Claudia will continue to serve the royal castle. Arent your parents worried about you two? I think so, but it seems she will meet her father at the royal castle, so she will explain at that time.

Katharina and I are the same as usual, and Alexandra just joins us. From now on, Alexandra will also go to school with me.

Ah! Come to think of it I said.

Whats the matter all of a sudden? Alexandra asked.

Louisa and Claudia were heading to work and we were going to take it easy before heading to school, but I couldnt help but shout when I remembered something.

Is it alright if youre staying with me, Alexandra? Maybe that trio of students you have will say something rude again? I asked. Could it be that one of those three is a spy for House Nassam?

Among Alexandras entourage, there was a trio who seemed to have quite strong personalities. Even in Carruzan, she was surrounded by odd girls like the daughter of Viscount Alco, Adele, and I wondered if Alexandra would easily attract that type of person. This may be the fate of the villainess.

That trio has been speaking ill of me behind my back since the day of the entrance ceremony. Well, I guess they said it without knowing that the person herself was in front of them, but after that, they should have had the opportunity to get to know me, but their attitude didnt change.

Its possible that they simply didnt even notice that I was sitting in front of them and didnt recall my face, but usually, youll find out later if the person you were talking ill about was at the entrance ceremony. Dont you think itd be more awkward after the realization?

And yet, far from being embarrassed, the trio even had nasty grins on their faces when Alexandra and I exchanged words on our way back from the dining hall. Even if I didnt know who they were, I knew right away that we were an unusual pair. I was in Class 1, and even if they didnt recognize my face, my uniform would give it away.

You cant see it perfectly from a distance, but you cant miss it if you look closely. They are recognizable by the number of lines on the collar and by the small lapel badges of each class. If a student in a lower class gets into a dispute with a student in a higher class, it will be a big deal, so they should definitely check what class theyre in through the lapel badges. And yet, those three had that attitude toward me, who was in a superior group to theirs.

Of course, they may have thought that I was a bullied child and that status was not enough to be afraid of me, but even so, it was too blatant. No matter how much you think you have the backing of House Lingerburg, which is a fairly high-ranking county, that is strange

No, wait? Was that attitude precisely because they thought that Duke Nassam was with them, not Count Lingerburg? I see. I still cant explain it. Between duchies and margraviates, even the lowest-ranked duchies are higher than the top margraviates. Any aristocrat knows that much. If you think about it that way, that attitude might make sense.

House Nassam uses someone else to spy on me, Alexandra said. Im having a hard time dealing with that trio, but I cant let them go and ignore them Im worried about what to do, even

Ah Alexandra is rather shy, or rather, shes not the type to say what she wants to say and come forward. I think Alexandra is definitely losing a lot with that face of hers, but I cant do anything about this.

While talking like that, in the end, we rode a carriage together and came to the school. In the first place, at this time of the day, most of the people in the school are staff members, and there are only a handful of students. You are unlikely to meet anyone.

Since we were in different classes, I parted ways with Alexandra and waited in my classroom when a demon came in and sat next to me. I dont know why it was, but shes mad as can be. I know that much.

Flora? Do you know why Im mad at you? Mikoto asked.

Yes I said.

Yes I dont know But if I said I didnt understand, shed get even angrier, so I silently listened to Mikoto, the demon sitting next to me.

T/N:I made a mistake in Chapters and Arcs. The first half of 132 fades into the next arc, the Pudding for Royalty Arc. 133 is entirely in that arc, no longer part of the Alexandra Rescue Operation saga.

Anyway, the Pudding for Royalty Arc introduces some really fascinating new characters, and some that have only been ever mentioned in the periphery but never made an in-person appearance.
