Because I've Been Reincarnated As A Girl I Just Want To Do Yuri Things, But Things Aren't Going Well - 132

I dont know why Mikoto is angry, but if I resist, shell get even scarier, so Ill shut up and wait for Mikotos words. I wonder what shes going to say?

The four stayed with you last night, right? Why am I the only one left out?! Mikoto yelled. Its not fair!

Ahh I said.

I feel like an idiot for my heart pounding just because I was wondering what in the hell she was going to say. Because Mikoto was angry about this, she looked adorable and I couldnt help but smile.

Hey! What are you smiling about?! Im really angry, you know! Mikoto yelled.

Im sorry I didnt expect Claudia and Louisa to stay the night I said.

This is true. Mikoto knew that Alexandra was staying at my house. And it must have been expected that those two would come over last night to hear the results of the rescue operation. But I didnt expect the two of them to stay the night. Its the same with me and Mikoto.

Well, I suppose its fine because its over, Mikoto said. But Im going to stay at your house today, Flora! Then were good!

Okay I said.

It doesnt matter. The family servants would be in trouble if we suddenly had guests overnight, but unlike last night, if I tell Katharina at noon today, she should be able to prepare. Besides, with these 5 guests, it wouldnt be too much of a burden, as there would be no need for a full-fledged reception like that of normal high-ranking aristocrats. Mikoto should be of a higher rank than me as royalty, but we dont treat her like that.

But huh? How does Mikoto know this? Claudia and Louisa said they would go straight to work or back home at once, but I dont think they met Mikoto between dawn and this time. Alexandra is in Class 3, but Mikoto didnt seem to stop by Class 3, either. So how does Mikoto know what happened last night?

Mikoto? How do you know that Claudia and Louisa stayed the night? I asked.

""

I decided to ask straight away. It shouldnt be something that cant be said or hidden. Or did she hide in my house?

Because Katharina told me, Mikoto said. That was our secret agreement.

Huh? I asked.

Katharina? What are you doing? Why did you go out of your way to tell Mikoto when you knew it would turn out like this? And what is that agreement? What kind of secret?

What is that secret agreement?

I told you earlier that it was cheating that Katharina was the only one living with you, right? Mikoto asked. But, its impossible for Katharina to stop living with you as well, isnt it? Hence, we agreed that if anything happens, well keep each other informed.

Is that so.? But I dont think youd say its a secret agreement if you declare it so openly. Mikoto, you just want to use the term secret agreement, but youre not using it exactly as its meant to be used, right? Well, it doesnt matter. In short, Katharina went out of her way to tell Mikoto about what happened last night for that secret agreement

Thats why Im going to stay at your place tonight, okay? Mikoto asked.

Understood I said.

Even if I dont press it, I wont forget it, and I wont deceive her, either its not like theres anything special about coming to stay over. Its just that we can eat together and talk until a little later than usual. We dont sleep in the same room and there is no night crawling.

Anyway, Mikoto is coming to stay, so lets tell Katharina about it when I pick up my boxed lunch later. Katharina is probably expecting that, so it goes without saying shes ready for Mikoto to stay over. But that doesnt mean you dont have to say it, so Ill tell her properly.

I attended classes properly today as well, as well, while trying not to forget that.

After school ended, Mikoto was supposed to go home to her residence and get ready before coming over to mine, so Alexandra and I went home together to the Carruthers Residence. Well, Katharina is also in the carriage, so we didnt come back alone together, but

I told Katharina that Mikoto was coming today, and I also talked to Alexandra in the carriage. Even though I talked to Mikoto at the evening party, I couldnt have a suspicious conversation because there were various eyes and ears at that place. Today was the first time I was able to talk in detail without hesitation because it was just a casual conversation.

Claudia and Louisa are coming today as well, Katharina said. They said they wont be staying overnight and will be going home tonight, but we will have dinner together.

Huh? Is that so? I asked.

Yes, Katharina said. Today is the chance for the 5 of us to finally get together, so they said theyd show up.

I see. come to think of it, today is the first time the 5 of them are together. In that case, it would be better if we all got together at once huh? I dont know for sure, but if everyone thinks so, then so be it. Theres no reason to refuse, so just leave it to everyone to do what they want. More than that, if two more people come over, the preparation for dinner will increase a little.

Is that so? Well, theres not much difference between making 5 or 10 of them, so its fine I muttered.

Are you going to make something for us, Miss Flora? Katharina said, listening attentively.

Its not a big deal, so theres no need to hide it.

Yeah, well I started, Mikoto wants to eat pudding again, so I thought Id serve pudding after dinner, but anyway, lets make crepes as a snack in addition to pudding as dessert.

The pudding will take some time to cool. It would be nice to serve pudding for dessert after dinner and make crepes together for an afternoon snack after returning home. Crepes are not very suitable for making in advance because over time, the cream will start to come apart as the emulsion weakens. Prepare the pudding, then make the crepes and eat those right away.

Pu-Pudding, you say?! Katharina cried. We can eat pudding, I see!

""

Isnt Katharina eating too much? Did she like the pudding that much? I feel like its not good enough because it doesnt have enough vanilla or vanilla flavor well, its fine if they like it, but is that all there is to it? I dont feel its enough.

I dont know what pudding is, but Ive heard of something called a crepe, Alexandra said. Its a hot topic at school. How do you know how to make these crepes, Flora?

Ah I havent been able to contact Alexandra much since we parted ways, so she doesnt know. After that, I didnt say much about that because I didnt bother to teach her anything.

Since Caanza sells crepes and I founded Caanza I said.

Huh?! Alexandra cried. You were Caanzas owner, Flora!? So thats why there was soap in the bath!?

I managed to soothe Alexandra who was pressing me with all her might. I was surprised. Is it such a hot topic?

Well Im the owner of Caanza Trading Firm I said. Is it really that surprising?

Of course, it is! Alexandra said. Nowadays, Caanzas products are the talk of the school! In particular, the members-only products are hard to come by, even for the greatest nobles, so just having any one of them will command respect from all!

Oh, really. is it that far? We dont have a separate quantity limit, and we dont limit memberships. We sell as soon as they are produced, so the supply may not be keeping up with the demand, but it shouldnt be that difficult to obtain them

And then theres the crepes! Alexandra said. They sell all their varieties at a price that even commoners can buy, and it seems that there are many students from school who secretly go there in disguise! I hear many of my cronies even go there, too!

Cronies, she calls them as a noble, Alexandra would probably be more correct, but to someone like me who has the sensibility of a modern Japanese person, it sounds like a ridiculous thing to call them Im the weird one here, but I cant help but think so.

Actually, I was also interested in those crepes Alexandra said. But I gave up on them because of my situation I cant believe I can eat them! If you thought of it, Flora, then the ones at the Carruthers Residence must be the most authentic version of them, arent they?!

Well, thats right Ill do my best to make them I said.

It was all I could say because I was overwhelmed by Alexandras momentum. There are restrictions on the prices and availability of ingredients that are sold at stores, so the menu is also mediocre. Compared to that, if you only make a small amount at home, you dont have to worry about the price and types of ingredients to put in. If they are looking forward to it so much, it would be nice to try making various things.

While thinking about that, I left Alexandra and the others and headed to the kitchen to prepare desserts and snacks before everyone else arrived.

When did they hear this news from? Its afternoon tea time, snack time, and so many people are gathered around the table, stuffing their cheeks with crepes.

Its fine that Alexandra and Katharina know. We live in the same house and came home together. Rather, it would be natural for them to be here.

Mikoto came over quickly as if she knew I was preparing a snack. Normally, the daughter of a high-ranking aristocrat, let alone Mikoto, the Princess of the Demon Country, should take more time to prepare before visiting my house. Despite that, Mikoto came over immediately and stuffed her cheeks with snacks.

Louisa was already here, too. She wasnt t there before I entered the kitchen, but she was at the table when I came back out. Basically, most of the farm work is done in the morning. From the afternoon, there will be only people on standby for emergencies and the supervisors. But is it okay for Louisa, one of the said supervisors, to be back at this hour?

Furthermore, for some reason, Claudia is also here. The duties of the Royal Guard Division should not be over yet. Honestly, she should be in afternoon training or the patrol rotation, but for some reason, shes here.

Lets just say its so far, so good. The three said they were coming over to play at my house. It came earlier than I thought, but they were expected scheduled to come today, so thats good. The other members at the table are the problem.

Father and Mother are also stuffing their surprised faces with crepes. Aside from Mother, isnt it time for Father to still be at work? Why is he here? Besides, Gabriella is also eating crepes together with us. Im not saying that you cant eat crepes because youre an adult, but even though Im not thinking of excluding them when everyone is already eating them, I didnt even call them, but isnt it really surprising they were here without invitation?

And for some reason, Wilhelm and Dietrich are also at the table where the adults sit. Today theyre not wearing a disguise like before, but theyre dressed like the King and Prime Minister they are, so I guess its official business. Claudia came along with these two. It must be that they assigned Claudia as their escort.

Moreover, these two guys were dressed for official business, so I thought they were talking about last nights evening party, or about Queen Amelie and the Nassam Duchy, but there was nothing like that at all. I dont know where they got the information from, but they seemed to hear about pudding and just came to eat it. Is this country really so uneventful that the King and the Prime Minister would go out of their way to visit for such a small reason?

Furthermore, even Christa was sitting at the table where we kids sat. She hadnt promised shed come today, did she? So why is she here? Im not saying she shouldnt come, though.

However, in this world, high-ranking aristocrats dont just casually visit others homes just because theyre friends, you need an appointment. Normally, you would notify them in advance and make a promise to visit after a certain day and time. Its not normal for them to come out of the blue. This is not normal. I should be surprised by all this.

Christa, was there an emergency? I asked.

So lets ask, just in case. I thought something happened, but Christa looked at me apologetically.

Im sorry for coming here so suddenly but for some reason, I felt like I had to come here today Christa said. And Im glad I did. Youre so terrible though, Floto. You promised me youd invite me over to taste the new sweets, didnt you?

Ah~ it seems that she came here with superhuman intuition about sweetness. Hats off to Christas nose for sweets. But wait a moment. This is not something to put out in the store, but to eat by ourselves, ignoring the cost and securing of ingredients. Its not a new product at all.

This is for personal consumption at home, so its not like its a new product to put out in the store I said.

Yes! Thats just it, Christa said. How do you know how to make crepes, Floto?

Come to think of it, I didnt tell Christa that Caanza was my company Ive controlled myself around Alexandra and kept carelessly saying that its my company here and there, so Alexandra wouldnt let it slip.

Even so, Christa was quiet at first with the King and Prime Minister nearby, but when she sat down at this table and started eating crepes, she suddenly became energetic. What did she hear?

Everyone, Katharina said, if I may get your attention? How many puddings would you like to take home?

Nice, Katharina! She sensed that I was at a loss for an answer and diverted the topic. Everyone answers Katharinas call about many they want, so I put them together. Well, only Wilhelm, Dietrich, and Christa bring back puddings as a souvenir. Other members will eat it as dessert after dinner, so they dont take it home.

Christa was also desperate when it came to pudding, and immediately became absorbed in the conversation with Katharina. Katharina might just be buying time, but I was able to get away with it. While thinking about how to deflect Christa, I realized that I needed to make additional pudding and returned to the kitchen.
