AN: I'll submit one more chapter for the commemoration of the resumption
Part Time Leader Lily Second Part will be at around 8 or 9 o'clock
「Hafuu~」
That kind of sigh which was free of tension resounded inside the rooave a sense of cleanliness with its white tone
Her own sigh that unexpectedly echoed loudly caused Liliana to be taken aback and she froith a speechless expression, perhaps because she was letting out that sigh unconsciously
For so her back deeply on the reclining chair she was sitting on, then she kicked on the floor with her bare tips of the toes and tried turning around The good quality chair lightly rotated and the state of the rooht in order
It was a room that was half the size coo in the palace
Liliana herself thought that this size was just right, but if the nobles and servants in Tortus knew about this, then they ht yelled「How can the princesshouse!」with a look like Edvard Munch's The Scream
A few months had passed since that day, when "Princess Liliana" went inactive and she arrived on earth Themonths and days, thebit by bit
The puppet "Dancing Davis-kun" that she received fro its presence excessively Surely the expression "quivering" suited the puppet le like a dangerous person as going through withdrawal symptoms
Just from where in the world Myuu obtained this Davis-kun……
Honestly speaking it was eerie, but when she recalled Myuu's s it away, she was unable to throw it away
「Fuu~~n」
Liliana was letting out a strange exhalation that lacked in tension while she rotated her chair one more time She then stepped a bit and rotated in reverse Whirl whirl Whirl whirl
「Nothing, to do」
It see Liliana is now experiencing by myself that "spare time" I heard froree that she narrated the present condition of herself by herself
For Liliana as born as a royalty, as called "spare time" was the same like a fairytale
After all she was the sole direct descendant of the royalty until her little brother was born She began going through education for the gifted since she was old enough to be aware of her surrounding, and even when Randell was born and her possibility to ascend to the throne decreased, but the necessity for her to receivein her role as a spare or in order to function as a tie toward the empire didn't decrease at all
And then, when she was in her youth at fourteen years old, she went through a year of chain of event that was like surging waves, to which the word dense wasn't enough at all to express that experience And after that she amped ork for the sake of the reconstruction
From the time since she was born until before this, she was in a position thatwas understandable for her to never experience this thing called "free time" or the like
That was how Liliana was before, but then she was taken away by Hajiery, deceived the administrative official, obtained social status peacefully by slapping public safety in the face, and currently she was going to the sae with Hajime and others
Before this she had been taken to visit earth several times, so she understood that earth was a world that was like a jack-in-the-box Even so, the "school life" and "learning experience of another world's college" that Liliana yearned tickled her curious ave her fresh enjoyment It was, but……
Whirl whirl Whirly whirl The princess of another world was rotating in twirls using the chair of another world And then, she came to a stop,
「……Davis-kun It's nice to be you huh You look busily quivering」
Finally the princess started talking to a doll Davis-kun quivered back and forth looking troubled
But, at that ti could be heard faintly
If Liliana had aniht noould surely snapped up in attention pikon She wore her indoor slipper and exited her room with rhythmical steps te-te-te― in order to welco home
She went down to the first floor and encountered Sus for some reason
「Welcome home, Sumire-okaasama」(TN: The kanji for okaa-sama(honored mother) here is written with the kanji of mother-in-law)
「My, you are home early today, Lily-chan I's with a rough huff before Liliana went to help her in a hurry She took several of the baggage and when she glanced inside thee amount of side dish
「Say, Sumire-okaasama, this is?」
「You see, this is today's dinner」
「Dinner?」
「Yes The dishes that were served in the event had leftovers, and I pilfered them all! They were really delicious I heard that they called a really faht that I should let my uncute son and his cute wives to try them」
「Is, is that so Thank you very much, Sumire-okaasama」
「Your welco her , this is Su about so she surely must have forcefully swiped the dishes for "takeout" without evenaway froing home this much
It seemed that today there was an event for the live-action fila that was authored by Su at Su「No e can anger sensei in this event huuh~」
Nagu naa artist, and her husband Shuu had er in these few years And above all, the businesses that Haji absurd killing
From the standpoint of a royalty, it wasn't like Liliana wasn't thinking that they had the allowance, so they could just directly employ that chef to cook directly for the, noa dyna this kind of "fun" was the shared trait of Nagumo family It was a tacit precepts of the fa Sumire who showed off the dishes「I ca that I snatched off――!」for the sake of herself as a daughter-in-law
They carried the large amount of dishes to the kitchen before Su out her question
「You aren't together with Hajime and others?」
「Yes Hajime-san and others still have lecture, so they are still in the college The lecture that I was scheduled to have became cancelled……」
「My, that's nice Doesn't a sudden lecture cancellation make you happy for no reason?」
「Eh? Eer……」
It see wasn't transent princess After all this princess was so doll when she had too much free tio to the lecture that Hajiht?」
「No, Su that it's fine to chatter while receiving lecture is just……」
「Eeh~ It's fun exactly because you are doing it secretly behind the teacher's back」
「Sumire-okaasama……」
Liliana's shoulders dropped in dejection Her blood-related mother Luluaria was fundaent to herself And so, Liliana couldn't say anything anymore to the irresponsible statement of her mother-in-lahose sense of value was completely different with her real mother
But mysteriously, the relationship between Suood even with this, that hy it was so with a thud at the kitchen Su the aze to Liliana as helping her serving the food with siet used to this world? At the ti various things, but recently you aren't like that anyeneral The econoion and history, the situation of every nation, culture, fashion……every book in this world is co I don't understand I can investigate it i internet It's really convenient」
「Aa~, yeah, I see」
「Yes Especially the more I learned economics and statistics study, the more I feel how deep they are The density and the fruits of labor that has been accu that I cannot find in Tortus Every day I feel like I a behind the study of the world there coht now over there is still in the middle of reconstruction, even if an advanced system is suddenly introduced, I can see that it will only end up in failure, so it won't be able to happen right away, but so the field of economy, the coordination with Fhuren――」
「St, stop! Sto~~~~~p! That's enough there, Lily-chan!」
「Heh?」
Sumire hurriedly raised her voice to stop Liliana as spouting a torrent of speech
Liliana was lifting her face in puzzle continuously without pause and served up the packed dishes as though they were palace cooking Her speed ice of Sumire's While her courteousness was triple
「Geez, Lily-chan, even though you should have leave the position of princess and co about your dom」
「a……」
Liliana finally noticed herself what she was talking about after getting stared by Su half-exasperated face Her cheeks reddened
「When you just arrived here, you felt like 'Everything attract my interest so there is no ti the situation to a degree, as expected you become concerned with your ho……is not true」
Seeing Liliana who stuttered, Su「Uu~n」in a thinking gesture before she spoke so for Liliana
「Is that so? But, recently Lily-chan isa face that look like a lost child somehow you know?」
「Eh……」
Su at her in blank amazement with her eyes turned round, and then she stooped down a bit to put their eyes in the saht And then, after Su herself properly, she asked calentle and kind expression
「Do you want, to return hoentle voice that was filled with concern and sy tone in it
For a moment, the questioned Lily showed an expression that didn't understand what the ht after that, she unconsciously raised her voice
「I' like that!」
「Waait Lily-chan, caloing ho any discomfort or dissatisfaction! I love everyone! I'et it already!」
Suhtly
It see that Su of「If you are dissatisfied with the life here, perhaps it's better to go ho like that She was only thinking in concern「Perhaps she is slowly getting ho that anyone would be driven by their feeling for their hoot hertoward Liliana was,
「A princess! The real thing! Froo! Fuhehe, everyone in the world! How can this be, this lovely princess-chan, she is hter! Thank you very much! Dyufu, dyufufu」
It was fixated like that
Liliana who knew nothing about that and was tightly euessed that she wasand her cheeks reddened once more
「I'm sorry, Lily-chan Looks like I' conclusion……thank you veryabout me」
「I'm your hter? If there is so, then don't be reserved at all and consult entle hand of the anthe dishes on to the plates once more Liliana didn't even suspect that inside her heart, Suood-, the destructive power of a genuine princess's smile is extraordinary yaa~~!!」
After that, Liliana was enjoying tea with the kind mother-in-lawa until Hajime and co returned home
A lively family
A quiet ti the happiness she hoped for There wasn't any falsehood in it
However, for so inside her head and it didn't vanish like a sot stuck in her throat It caused her to have a feeling that she couldn't express in words
That night Liliana who returned to her room had finished all her preparation to retire to bed, however, she didn't lie on the bed and sat on the swivel chair while being in a daze
The words「Like a lost child」from the afternoon were replayed many tiaze, there was the un without even a twitch with an expression that was like it was going to raise an Ah「HA―――-, HAHAHAHA-」anytime now
「――O wind」
Liliana spoke a verse of chant Immediately, a breeze flowed and Davis-kun started to h it ca fun of Liliana as even now harboring a mist that couldn't clear up
「……Da abuse with a tone that was out of norh she was the oneit herself, it see"
But, at that ti Liliana twitched, and in shock she replied even while her voice slightly turned shrill
Like that the one who entered was Hajime
「Yo, can I bother you a bit?」
「Ye, yes No need to say a bit, please feel free to do as you please But, there will be a lecture first thing in the , so if I can possibly let to sleep at early hours……」
「This isn't night crawling Or rather, you think I' like "let me do it a bit" huh」
HajihAnd then, he sat down on the bed and directed his gaze at Liliana as red faced fro as big as business or anything though……how are you doing lately?」
「……Fufu I was also asked that at the afternoon by Sumire-okaasa how thefor her caused Liliana to leak out a chuckle from amuse
「You aren't acting unusual or anything It's just, it's the fact that you look like you aren't energetic And froloomy, because it seems that Lily yourself doesn't understand just why you aren't energetic」
