Tensei Shoujo no Rirekisho Vol 2 Chapter 17

It is a long-term vacation soon, so I am now organizing my luggage at Mama Kou's home .

What shall I bring? If I can not go back for a while, I would like to bring this and that too . What a long vacation, it's about 3 months! Well I think a lot will be taken by travel time because I will return to the territory . I think that's why it's a super long break .

Still, when the long vacation is over, I'll already be a second grader? It's surprisingly fast .

I put up with a stalker, I put up with loneliness, and I put up with the Lady Katerina, it is over . . . .

Especially, the stalking, I thought my student life was over!

Well, I guess this is the first year . Surely, I can get along well with Charlotte-chan and I feel better .

The long-awaited library did not have the knowledge I wanted, but it might have been good just to learn that .

That's how I felt about my school life, just putting up with it, then I looked over the room for a while, and I found some sugar left over from making ice cream .

Shall I bring some sugar? Going by carriage with Alan and Cain-sama, it might be good to make and bring some sweets .

Ah, that's right . Make a Ryo-chan's signature secret tool with sugar and saltpeter and bring it too!

No time like the present . I will start to make secret tools .

I mix sugar and ice magic stone powder on a small plate and place on a tripod . Then I place a candle under it and light it on fire . Then as the sugar in the plate melts and drips while turning it, curl it up .

Okay, this is probably the completion of the smokebomb! It should be! It's been a while!

I look at the finished light brown, small ball and I am satisfied with it .

Yes, but I have never used it, so I wonder if it can play its role as a smokebomb . I know only how to make smokebombs from reading books in my past life, but I don't know for sure because I haven't actually used them .

「Ryou-chan, what is that?」

Mama Kou, who was preparing medicine nearby, asked .

This?

Here it comes! My new secret tool! Rookie expectations, a new face! (TL: "rookie" and "new face" are in English)

「It's a smokebomb! When it's lit, unbelievable amount of smoke comes out!」

「Smoke? What do you do with such a thing?」

「Eeeh!?」

「Eeeh!?」

I was surprised when asked what to do with it and Mama Kou was surprised by how I reacted like that .

Certainly, what I intend to do is make a smokebomb . Am I a ninja? Do I want to be sneaky?

Me, no, it was because it was fun . Smokebomb . . . because it was fun to make . . . !

In a word, I feel that my hobby is making secret tools . Even the coin shuriken was able to be used because I happened to come across to a demon by chance at the power sink, but it could not be used if it was not there .

Other than that, it was possible to stop Alan's runaway behavior thanks to the pepper bomb, and the improvement of secret tools should not be a bad thing!

Yes, yes, besides, if there is a smokebomb, even if attacked by the stalker again, it may be possible to bewilder them in the smoke!

From now on, it will be a long journey to return to the territory, and even when attacked by demons and wild beasts, it is good to have a variety of secret tools to protect yourself!

Oh yeah, expansion of the secret tools is never a waste! Probably!

「If there is a smokebomb, when danger comes, smoke can confuse it, and you can get away!」

Mama Kou made a sad face for my desperate excuse .

「Danger? Distress? Are you doing something dangerous recently in a school?」

No, that is not the case . . .

「 . . . if you are prepared you don't have to worry, that kinda feeling . It's a long vacation soon, and it will be a long journey until we return to the territory . It will of course have escorts, but I think it would be better to have smokebombs!」

「So, fuuu~, well, it is always the case that Ryou-chan suddenly produces something, so Ryou-chan is as usual . So how much smoke does this smokebomb put out when it is lit?」

Even when living as bandits, Mama Kou knows that I made various things, so well, it was as usual, it seems that any doubts were closed off by saying that . Of course usual habits are fine .

Even so, honestly I do not know the effect of smokebomb well . Let's try using a little now . Even if there is a lot of smoke, I doubt it will be much larger volume than the smoke from an anti-mosquito coil .

It is also bothersome to go out now and find a vacant area or similar, and there will be smoke but no fire, so it should be fine and won't set fire to the room .

I should put it in the water as soon as I see how much smoke comes out .

「I don't know how much smoke comes out, so let's set fire now and try it!」

I say so and open a window for ventilation .

Then, I pinch the smoke ball with something like tweezers and light it, and from the smoke ball, a bright purple fire and then billowing smoke was . . .

I did not expect this level of smoke! The smoke comes whooshing out!

What's this? Unexpectedly immense smoke . Absolutely, do not do it indoors!

As I coughed goho~ goho~, I put the smokebomb in the water and extinguished it .

Mama Kou coughed goho~ goho~, and opened the door to ventilate .

S, sorry! Mama Kou!

I did not think so far!

The new face of the secret tools seems quite powerful .

. . . How many should I make .

「Ugh, Ryou-chan, goho~ I wanted warning first if there's so much smoke, goho~ goho~」

「I'm sorry, for me too, geffu~ geffu~, I didn't think that far . 」

Mama Kou was a little angry . Tehe~pero .  (TL: tehepero (テヘペロ): laughing embarrasedly and sticking out one's tongue)

But, certainly, how many more should I make!

When the doors and windows were fully opened, the smoke flowed out with the wind .

Even so, the smokebombs are quite powerful .

I took it to heart, and I started to work again to make some .

「Ah, I'm going to make something . I wonder when I'll use that kind of thing . I hope that there will be no such opportunity . 」

「Hey, hey, I agree!」

Yeah I think so too! But I really want to use it a little . I don't want to use it but I want to use it . Is this enough to shake my maiden's heart? Being a young girl is difficult!

「Still, Ryo-chan is strange, huh, I wonder how you got the knowledge to make such things . I feel I understand that Tagosaku-san making such noise . 」

Ah, I do not want to remember about Tagosaku-san . It is his presence that makes me the most uneasy about returning to Rubyfallen . I'm not good with that person .

「Mama Kou, please don't talk about Tagosaku-san . . . I don't want to remember . 」

「Even if you say so, something must be done about him, he will be amazed by whatever . 」

Yeah, I know . I will try to persuade again when I return to the territory . That I'm only human, I will try to persuade .

. . . We talked several times so far, but after all the talk did not go through and I gave up .

「I will try somehow at the next long vacation . 」

I declared without force . I was honestly not confident .

We have a safe closing ceremony, and the first year of school life was over .

I looked through the library books I could see as a first grader, but I did not find what I wanted to know . So I want to somehow read books that are shown only to magicians .

That will be my second grader task .

I finished my first year of student life, and I think I decided on my goal for when I become a second grader, so I was at Mama Kou's house .

It is not necessary to sleep in the dormitory during a long vacation, and the closing ceremony is over, so I just stayed with Mama Kou .

「Tomorrow is an early morning, right?」

Mama Kou listens to me while taking care of green beans . I also answer while helping .

「Yes . Alan and the rest will come to pick me up . It looks like they're preparing a carriage and escort . 」

「That so, certainly the difficult workload is on the Rainforest family . 」

「Cain-sama told me not to bother because they were originally intended to be hired . 」

「Cain-sama is . . . Alan-kun's older brother, right? That kid has quite amusing future prospects . 」

Mama Kou seemed to be licking her lips . I wonder if it may be better not to call Cain-sama to my home anymore . I wonder if the finger that had not moved on Alan might make a move (on Cain-sama) .

「Ah, that! Give them this as a visiting gift!」 (Temiyage (手土産) is a present brought by a visitor . It's sorta the opposite of a souvenir . )

That's why Mama Kou gave me a bag containing various things .

「This is a cosmetic oil with a lotion . . . It is a set of specially formulated cosmetic medicines by Mama Kou! Rainforest family Countess Irene-sama was managing and keeping up hard at work, so she will surely be delighted!」

It's a set of cosmetics that Mama Kou and I made together . It has not been sold to the public yet, but it has a good reputation . There is also a real effect . Thanks to this, Mama Kou and my own hair and skin were shining tsuya~ tsuya~ .

「By the way . . . Alek said, isn't there a lolicon man in Rainforest who wants to marry Ryou-chan, that is, are you going to be okay?」

Claude-san, huh . . . Speaking of which, I had made such a promise .

「Probably, it is fine . . . It was a promise from a few years ago, and at the time I was a maid bought with money, but now I'm more-or-less a count's daughter . 」

I expect Claude-san is not still putting out his hand . Besides, it seems that he already bought three other girls, so that business is already settled .

「If so, it's fine, but . . . please be careful . 」

「Yes!」

Mama Kou smiles when I reply, but I actually don't feel spirited .

Mama Kou stopped her hand stemming the green beans and touched the back of her left hand with my right hand . It was a gesture that Mama Kou did well when I was uneasy .

「 . . . Rainforest territory is where Ryou-chan was before meeting Alek . 」

「That's right . . . Are you worried about something?」

「No, I'm fine! I will pick up Ryou-Chan at the Rainforest residence after I finish my work too!」

Mama Kou who said that was the same Mama Kou as always, and after that, we spent time with the usual chatty chat .

Speaking of it, since I met Mama Kou, we have been mainly together because I came to play regularly even with the school's dormitory life, this may be the first time we can't meet as long as this time .

Immediately the next day, Alan and the rest came to pick me up, and we are going to Rainforest, but I am already homesick .

It is a long-term vacation soon, so I am now organizing my luggage at Mama Kou's home

What shall I bring? If I can not go back for a while, I would like to bring this and that too . What a long vacation, it's about 3 months! Well I think a lot will be taken by travel time because I will return to the territory . I think that's why it's a super long break
