Lets Go Home [Part 1]

After Economics class is over, the three siblings and Joshua walk back home.

Emmas belly still feels very full, and her digestion cant keep up. Going over ones stomach limit has a great price.

In the second year and above, students can take one more class in the afternoon. This year, the three siblings and Joshua only take three subjects a day.

On the way, they meet the twins, who are the same first years, and decide to go home together. It looks like the twins choose the San Cross language class from San Cross country, which has a close relationship with their territory.

The San Cross language class was fun, huh, Caitlyn.

The San Cross language class was fun, Catherine.

Foreigners rarely come to Palace, so it was a subject the three siblings uninterested in.

How to say Hello in San Cross?

Because the twins are talking about it happily, Emma asks.

Its Luckle, Emma-sama.

The twins answer energetically.

Then, whats Thank you?

Its Luckle, Emma-sama.

Its the same?

Yes! The literal translation for Luckle can be hello, thank you, understood, its nice, or awesome! It has a lot of meaning, Emma-sama.

The twins reply with a long sentence amazingly synchronized.

Thats convenient? I guess? Then, how to say Sorry?

Its Rockle. Rockle also has various meanings. It can mean sorry, goodbye, no, thanks, the worst, or did you gain weight recently?

What is this foreign language Even George, who was devastated by English in our previous life, starts to get interested.

Um, then, how to say Did you lose weight recently? in San Cross?

Thats also Luckle, George-sama. We got curious about the San Cross language because San Cross people keep saying Luckle and Rockle It seems they can pretty much converse with each other with just those two words!

The twins, who are always confused whenever they see San Cross people conversing in their territory, are happy because they can finally understand them.

Thats true, the only San Cross words my interpreter taught me were I will buy and I wont buy, but I will buy is Luckle and I wont buy is Rockle.

As expected, Joshua-sama knows a lot, huh, Caitlyn.

Joshua-sama knows a lot as expected, Catherine.

Joshua was taught those two words when he was exporting Palace silk to that country.

The Stuarts family always leaves the sales to the Rothschild family, so the three siblings have no clue about it.

Palace silk is Luckle, isnt it, Caitlyn.

Palace silk is Luckle, Catherine.

The twins seem to be giving a compliment (?), so the three siblings together reply with Luckle! (thank you). They somehow manage to understand it.

When they leave the academys main gate while chatting with the twins, they see many carriages are parked in front of it.

They finally understand why the main gate has such a wastefully wide empty space.

According to Joshua, carriages cannot enter the academy without permission, so students whose homes are far, or sons and young ladies from high-ranking families will ride the carriage that comes to pick them up right after leaving the main gate.

Joshuas store is 10 minutes away by walking, and the Stuart familys mansion is another 10 minutes from there, so they are commuting to school leisurely by foot.

If its Minato in her previous life after she got her license, 20 minutes by foot is definitely a distance she will go by car. But a young body can definitely walk that distance without difficulty. When the three siblings thought about the labor needed to prepare a carriage, they chose to walk without hesitation.

The number of servants who have served the Stuart family from before and the newly hired in the royal capital are not many, so the three siblings feel sorry for increasing their work.

We live at the dorm, so I guess we part here, Caitlyn.

We live at the dorm, so we part here, Catherine.

The twins stop in front of an intersection.

The siblings and Joshua will keep walking straight to the main street.

Then, everyone. Until next time, Rockle.

The twins lift the hem of their skirts and lower their heads slightly. Gets that that Rockle means goodbye, Emma reply to them the same way.

Catherine-sama, Caitlyn-sama. Until next time, Rockle.

Be careful on your way home, Rockle!

See you tomorrow, Rockle!

Rockle

Each of them says Rockle and part there.

When they used the word, it didnt feel out of place, so its fun.

While watching out for carriages, they walk through the main street and enter the shopping district where many fashionable shops lined up. Seeing that Palaces noble sons and Robert bought the present for Emma from this shopping district, academy students must often visit here.

The store Joshuas in charge of is in the prime location on the main street, so they can clearly see the big three-story store.

Joshuas store is almost completed, huh.

George mutters a little apologetically while looking at Joshuas store.

Its still under renovation now, but the first and second floors will be used as the store, and the third floor is set up for Joshuas living space.

The store used to sell Palace silk, one-horned rabbit fur, and the like, but after it was entrusted to Joshua, the products got completely changed.

At first, it was supposed to be completed when the academy started, but Emma

If theres a cafe with delicious sweets on the way home from school, I will probably stop by every day.

With just one sentence from her, Joshua hurriedly increased the cafe space on the second floor, and because of that, the renovation couldnt make it in time. The store is scheduled to reopen next week.

Joshua, who supposes to be as busy as a spinning top, says, How about going for a cup of tea? and invites them to come. But, after this is Joshuas time for work, and his employees are waiting for his instructions. So the siblings will pass today as they dont want to disturb his work.

Thats a shame. Well, come by anytime. I will wait for you with lots of tea and snacks prepared.

Smiling, Joshua waves his hand and says, See you tomorrow, Rockle!

Emma was looking forward to buying and eating snacks on the way home, but her stomach still feels very full even after they part with Joshua, so she just goes straight home obediently.

They keep going on the main street, leaving the shopping district and entering the nobles district where many big mansions stood out.

Residences for nobles without territory who work at the royal castle and nobles whose territory is near the royal capital are built here with a far distance between each house.

The three siblings walk a little into a small road from the main street and arrive at the gate of the largest mansion in this nobles district. They stop for a while in front of it and sigh.

its huge.

Huge

So huge

The mansion arranged for their living in the royal capital matches the income of the Stuart family, and it is really luxurious.

Their house in Palace has a big garden, but the building itself is small and cozy. Moreover, they sold everything they could sell, and it looked like a ruined mansion, so they find it hard to get used to the gap.

They recovered thanks to the Rothschild familys ability, but their living style hasnt changed much until now.

They were poor for too long to live lavishly. In the end, they didnt even buy back any of the things theyve sold for the reason of We dont really use it, right

Despite that

The three siblings once again sigh at the large gate standing in front of them.

Its huge no matter how many times I see it.

Will we get used to this someday?

I wonder
