Isekai Trip no Wakiyaku datta Ken Chapter 6

６

「See you later then, Maki-chan」

「Yes, Senpai」

「If they come to you to make a decision when you're alone, tell them you're tired and delay your answer. According to the situation, go ahead and pretend to faint. Maki-chan is a precious existence to this kingdom, so I think there will be those with ulterior motives who want to use you.」

「I understand」

「Also, don't get pushed down by the Crown Prince. I get that you become blank at those looks, but your power of judgment will fall. Think of him with a tanuki 1 head when you speak to him」

「Shigaraki ware 2 right, roger」

After telling Maki-chan my suggestions, we were led to our respective rooms.

Unlike Maki-chan who they had prepared for before summoning, for me who appeared on accident, it seems the Esteiria people arranged a room for me in a hurry. My room was separated from Maki-chan, but I was prepared a room in the same building of the royal palace, so it's fine to think that I'm being treated fairly well with the power of her influence.

「Princess Senpai-sama, this way please」

The attendant Lina-san who greeted me from the audience room（with orange colored hair and pink eyes, a colorful beauty）guided me to my room.

She got my name wrong, though.

Yes, the Esteiria side had a.s.signed me an exclusive lady-in-waiting before I realized it.

Now then, is this out of the kindness of their hearts, or did they a.s.sign her to watch over the strange otherworlder?

But well, this Lina-san seemed like a nice person with a good temperament, so I didn't view it too shrewdly and thought I should get her good graces for the time being. I also needed a woman I could consult with if the time came to it.

Besides, because I am only a third wheel, there was always the possibility I would get separated from Maki-chan, be imprisoned or get thrown out of the castle.

Un, I've read such dark developments in novels. It's a real relief I didn't experience this pattern.

But, without negligence, if I showed manners and grat.i.tude and cooperation from the outset, the way they treat me from now on shouldn't be too bad.

I hope they won't.

This powerless female college student earnestly implores you.

And then, the room the attendant led me to had an adjoining living room and bedroom, furthermore with a bath attached, it wasn't that wide but on the contrary it felt snug, the whole room was arranged with a subdued interior. It was a room in the palace that wasn't too gorgeous, so it had the ambience of a place for when one was there they could relax their shoulders and take a breath.

Un, I really like it.

Subconciously anxious, I sat on the puffy couch and breathed out「fuuuー」, Lina-san putting down some tea. Accompanying it was a tasty looking cake that was casually set beside it, I was happy with her consideration.

「It must have been tough to cross over worlds with the Priestess-sama. Please take a short rest.」

Speaking gracefully, Lina-san must be a princess of some high ranked n.o.bility. Her manners were refined, and even at rest a gentle femininity exuded.

If I remember correctly, ladies-in-waiting differed from servants and for the purpose of apprenticing to learn good manners, they aided the proprietress of the house in her work, so Lina-san who works in the palace must be an elite.

「Thank you, I will partake without reserve」

The brewed tea tasted just like black tea, so I was relieved that my eating habits would be fine even in this world. Nibbling on the cake, I saw the familiar sight of it being packed with dried fruits, and garnished with fresh cream it was extremely delicious. It relieved me even more, but if kept eating because it was tasty I would get fat, so I cautioned myself.

「Um, is Maki-chan's room near here?」

I was encourged my Lina-san「if you don't eat a lot, you won't grow up big」, but I refused the large serving of seconds heartbrokenly（because what am I supposed to do if I get bigger horizontally!? I really wanted to eat it though!）and inquired Lina-san.

「Can I meet Maki-chan freely? Or, will my actions be limited at all?」

To undertake the job of being the attendant of I who came from another world, Lina-san must know about the summoning and should be a person who is well-informed with the insider information that I came along as an extra. There was no way she was only a princess of n.o.bility.

「The Priestess Princess' quarters are in the center of the palace. When Princess Senpai-sama wishes to visit, an escort will guide you there so there is no need for you worry, it will be fine.」

The somewhat soft and full relaxing beauty Lina-san was calm and composed, so maybe that's why she seemed several years older than me.

「If it’s fine with you, I would like to introduce the escort who will guard you, but what do you think, Princess? Because from now on, I and that man will mainly be serving Princess Senpai-sama at your side.」

If it was Maki-chan it'd be fine, but treating me who was in a t-shirt and jeans as a princess didn't match at all.

And what the heck was up with the『Princess Senpai』.

I almost wanted to flip the sofa over.

「I'm begging you, stop with the "princess." My name is Michiru. You can call me Michiru, I don't need the "princess." Then, I'd like to meet with the person who will be guarding me.」

「Understood, Michiru-sama」

While holding her mouth, Lina-san elegantly, but as if she was having fun, laughed and went to call the man who seemed to be outside the room in charge of the guarding.

I want to get to chapter 7 at least, where the MMC will finally be introduced. One more chapterrrr
