The Banished Villainess' Husband Chapter 4

"Father! This is serious, Father!"

…As soon as it enters the residence, Carleigh nii-san gets down from the carriage and shouts calling the old geezer.
I smiled and looked down at Miss Elana, who had a question mark above her head.

"Miss Elana, did you say something to Carleigh nii-san?"
"Eh? He asked about the situation, so I tell him everything…"
"How far did you tell…"
"Hm? The day before yesterday's graduation party, Miss Rifana's hara.s.sment, His Highness canceling the engagement, the banishment order, our marriage yesterday morning and camping when pa.s.sing the border…"
"…I see. …Um, that was fast."
"Eh?"

Kukkuahgh, my throat squeaks.
Miss Elana has talent, doesn't she?
Maintaining a weird face is another kind of talent.

"W-what do you mean?"
"No… You'll know shortly."

The entrance door closed once.
The servant rushes out and immediately urged inside.
But sooner than that, the entrance door is opened once again! And open up vigorously.
A grey-haired gentleman came out.
His face was like a demon, but the gentleman's kind.

"Eek! Eh?! Eh?!"

With the face flushed red, he pa.s.sed through the garden with a frightening force. And he came to our side in front of the gate.
I introduced him to Miss Elana just before he stopped.

"He's Count Drutonil."
"This gentleman?!"
"Yeah! He is!"
"Uwaah!"

Every time he opens his mouth, he yelled so loud my eardrum could break.
Ah, this is why Uncle Drutonil is troublesome…
It's a different kind of trouble than Carleigh nii-san.

"So that's it! It's jade's hair and light green eyes tinted with blue!"
"!?"
"Compared to that! Eufranc! You!"
"Because it's a natural hair color and when you say it that way-"
"And the way you speak! I don't like it!"
"It's personality~."
"But what I don't like even more is the a.r.s.egios' prince! Haa?! The lady's fiance! To throw away and annulling your engagement! Then banished in a day?! Camping outside! She is still very young?! Haaaaah!?"
"…………"

Miss Elana is completely intimidated and stunned.
Well, it's not unreasonable.
Someone who continues to hear loud yelling voices at the first meeting will be like this.
The content of what has been said is relatively normal.
Should I translate?

Translation, "Welcome to the Drutonil family. As I heard from my son, she has green hair and stunning eyes. You seem to have a hard time in a.r.s.egios… You poor thing. But it's all right now. We welcome you to our home. And Eufranc, you are no good. The reason? Because your hair color is pink and your eyes are red. It's a sinister color in this country!"

Well, roughly like that.
In the 『Green Dragon Sergigios』 country, green is the color happiness and brings luck.
On the other hand, the red that burns the green represents a sinister color.
They dislike me because of that.
However, Miss Elana hair and eyes color are welcomed in this country.
My uncle would be complicated too! Hahahahaha!

"Get in!!!"
"Eek! Y-yes?!"
"O~kay."

Why did this person keep shouting?
No, Carleigh nii-san is also loud and troublesome.
What kind of bloodline is this?

"P-pardon the intrusion…"
"Nn!?"
"Eh?! I-I'm sorry?!"
"Miss Elana, he's likely saying, "From now on, feel free to ask me anything."
"Huh…."
"Come on!"
"Eek!"
"Please come in quickly."
"Where and how do you hear that…?!"
"If you get used to it, you will understand."

Then we arrived at the parlor.
Carleigh nii-san is together with my aunt.
Come on. The real h.e.l.l is started from here.
Ah, I want to run away.

"Well! You're safe~~! You arrived!"
"……"

A woman appeared while spinning through the door.
All of a sudden, Miss Elana is frozen.
That's right.

"This is Carleigh nii-san's mother, Aunt Karenna."
"Eh, ah, nice to meet you… Elana… Di-ditalier…"
"…………"

Miss Elana was bowing her head.
I look at her.
Elana Ditalier.
…yeah, not bad.

"Ni~ce to~ me~et~ you~~!"
"………………"
"I'm an opera enthusiast."
"Ah, ahh…"

It's a great family, you know.

"Carleigh younger brother, Arleigh! Nice to meet you!"
"Eek!"
"Long time no see."

That's Arleigh.
He's a year younger than us.
The thunderous voice that pierces through is inherited from their father.
Ah, it's refreshing and noisy as usual.

"Y-your… f-family… is… s-so… lively…"
"I'm frequently told!"

I want to run away.
I really want to escape.
For now, I was able to sit… but the size of the parlor is not enough in another sense.

"Are you both going to stay here tonight?"
"Please, if possible."
"Of course~! It's not a problem~!"

…Can't you speak without using that singsong voice?
I have a headache when I talk to this family, and it's a pain.

"T-thank you…"
"Right. What are you going to do from now on? Live in Sergigios! What are you thinking?!"

…Is my uncle going to get cursed if he doesn't yell?
I have a little headache.

"I want to borrow a place to live and land from uncle. And I'm thinking of starting a business…"
"Business? Ahh! Nice! Do you have any samples?"

Carleigh nii-san is high in tension… this will help.
I don't know if this will make money… This is various things that I produced for Alfred and friends at Academy… Since I could carry it, I bring it.
I take out a few of them from the bag.

"This is?"
"What is it?"
"Firstly, this is [Pen]."
"Pen?"
"Eh!"

I made this at the request of the prince.
Miss Rifana is a commoner, and she's having difficulty with using a fountain pen and feather pen that uses ink.
I've managed to ask her if she had any pen that she can use easily.
It's a troublesome story.
You have to understand; I want to turn down the request, but the other party is a prince.
I managed to do it after doing all-nighters making it.
The pen nibs using the small ball at the tip of the pen helped to regulate the amount of the ink that ejected, so it doesn't overflow.
It's guaranteed to make writing easier.
However, it's hard to produce the small ball at the tip. For now, there are only this prototype and Miss Rifana's.

"Please try to write using this."
"Oh, Ohh… it's surprisingly effortless to use?"
"Wow! As expected, it's Eufranc! …But the ball's tip definitely will be difficult…"
"Yeah… Ma.s.s production will be difficult. That's why I hope I can sell it at a higher price if it's marketed for the n.o.bles."
"You are right! I want one!"
"…………"

Miss Elana is surprised with her mouth wide opened.
The reaction from the Drutonil family is excellent.
Then, moving on.

"Please look at this."
"This is?"
"I produced this at the request of certain someone. It's a hair clip."
"Oh my! Cute~!"

Bwah!
…Sorry, I remember something, and can't help but snort.
It's a prototype of the hair clip that Starlet gave to Miss Rifana.
A long and slender cloth was placed into a tube shape, and they sew the rubber inside that make the form crumpled.
It's simple but looks pretty.
Miss Rifana seems to enjoy the finished product.

"How lovely! If you ma.s.s-produce this, it will be popular in the town! I want one for myself!"
"Ah, please. If you like the prototype, you can have it."
"Thank you!"
"It will be 2 copper coins."
"…You have to handle money with care."
"Hm, what kind of goods that I will sell next?

Cring. Cring.
2 copper coins get~.
Thank you for shopping.

"Eufranc nii-san, what is this?"
"Ah, I also made that at people's request. It's soap."
"Soap?"
"Woaaa~~h?!"

Eh? Miss Elana's facial expression is weird.
Perhaps, you know what is this?
If I remember correctly, I develop this at Nick's request for Miss Rifana, and after using this, her skin seems to have improved.
The soap was pretty hard to make.
Using dragon gem, I filter the cane berries for the juice. It's a quite toxic substance.
Mixed the juice with coconut oil, water, and herbal essential oils until it became hard… I had a hard time making it, but I can produce a lot at once, and it's suitable for girls.
　…It's popular with girls…

"Do you want to try this, Miss Elana?"
"Eh?"
"There's a leftover because the trial product is good."
"…………. W-well…"

…Yosh, didn't we sound like a couple?
She looks like a little strange but unsurprisingly calm.
If we will live together… I will come in contact with Miss Elana… No, we are a married couple; communication is necessary between us?
But there are still many things to do.
After all, she was quite taken with Alfred and didn't recognize me.
If you lessen the distance without warning… she might despise me instead.
I don't have the personality that people like very much.

"…………"

It's hard to make the people you like to return your feelings.
Even though we are married already, we can't grasp how far our distance.

"Are there many things that women like?"
"Well, there is something that consulted then commissioned for a friend. On the odd occasion, I do it like that."
"What is this?"
"It's a tool to dry your hair. Excuse me, can I borrow a dragon gem?"
"? Dragon gem? Sure… does it mean it's a dragon gem tool?"
"Yes."

This is the only dragon gem tool I made I brought.
To use a dragon gem tool in this country, you need using a green dragon gem.
Because only a small dragon gem needed to use this tool, you can replace the gem with any gem from other countries.

"Tada."

Replace the gem and switch on.
Because this is only a trial product, the wind is fainter than the one Carl gave to Miss Rifana.
Since we were only showing how this tool work, there's no problem.
Sure enough, the Drutonil family is glued to the tool.

"W-wh-what is this?!"
"It's brilliant! There's warm wind blowing! What is happening?!"
"Well, the wind is not really strong. How is it? You can use it to dry your hair."
"Marvelous! As expected of Eufranc! You are a genius!"
"…………"

Carleigh nii-san's praise is too much.
I just have nimble fingers and can't think any ideas to do.
I turn my head to my uncle. He was stiffened with eyes wide open.
I'm not going to make something strange, right?

"…I don't want to admit, but everything is amazing. These will sell in this country too."
"Well…"
"I understand. There is an unused ranch near the border. I'll give you that. You can use it as you like."
"…Is it a former ranch?"
"Don't be selfish. The area was originally a fortress to intercept when 『Blue Dragon a.r.s.egios』 attacked. The ranch used to supply food to the fortress. Now, there's no more war targeting the guardian dragon's child. You are from a.r.s.egios, and you have yet become a citizen of this country. Until the country granted you asylum and citizenship–"
"…I understand."
"For now, I'll arrange it, so you can live there immediately. Until then, you can stay here. Can you make this hairclip when you stay here? Depending on your earnings you will stay here longer, we can increase the amount of furniture you'll have in the house over there. "

Listening to his uncle, he made a little grimace.
I didn't think it would be easy, but it's okay.
I let out a sigh and take a look at Miss Elana.
I let out a sigh and look at Miss Elana.
I wonder why women are concerned about this?
Unfortunately, the manufacturing took time; it's handy, but it's difficult to ma.s.s-produce.
In terms of making money, hairclip and soap were the quickest. But what about the materials?

"What about citizenship… how long it will take?"
"I don't know for sure. From here I need writing a report explaining your situation, sending the doc.u.ments to be processed… and wait to get it back. It's easier if you go to the capital to do it yourself, but the young lady… she's Duke a.r.s.egios' daughter? Moreover, she's the crown prince's former fiancée."
"…………"
"Unfortunately, making her go to the capital is…"
"Right."

There is another problem.
If her false accusation clears up, there is a possibility to return to 『a.r.s.egios 』.
It will be impossible to return as the prince's fiancée again. But if the King and Prime Minister refuse to compromise, she can go back to live as Duke's daughter again.
In that case, what will happen to my marriage?
Isn't this like taking measures to protect her… will we divorce?
I have to do my best to make sure that it doesn't happen.
But what am I supposed to do?

"We won't receive the results for a month or so. Let's wait patiently."
"Okay."
"T-thank you. For doing this…"
"You don't have to worry~! After that~~! Until we complete the maintenance of the ranch site~! You can rest to get rid of your fatigue from traveling here~! Really tiring~!"

…Auntie is troublesome.
