Yuusha-sama no Oshishou-sama Vol 1 Chapter 3

“Ah, Mou,  I’m exhaausted ~!”

After the audience with the Emperor was over, as soon as Leticia returned to the palace’s guest room, sat in a chair and sprawled over it.

“You’ve worked hard today.”

Liara served tea to Leticia, who was sprawled on the floor, and her two other companions.

Originally, there would have been a dedicated servant that would have performed this task, but the since it was the group’s private resting time, the servant was not present.

“Nevertheless, for even the Stamina Fiend Leticia to be this tired, being in His Majesty the Emperor’s presence was unsurprisingly a mental strain, wasn’t it?”

“Well, I am not good with that sort of atmosphere.”

Leticia made a slight nod.

“Moreover, what clothes was I supposed to change into? Isn’t my everyday clothing good for I, the Brave?”

“Such a reason…”

Liara laughed bitterly.

“Isn’t Leti also the daughter of the duke? Shouldn’t you have experience with these things?”

“I was 10 years old when I departed, you know? Besides, other than during the oracle that declared that I was the Brave, such things were not expected of me.”

In the mornings, while her family was still asleep, Leticia would slip away. The private tutor would indirectly report that the young Leticia was foolish to the point of being a problem child. (TL: still unclear… 　まだ家人が眠る早朝に屋敷を抜け出し、家庭教師からは遠まわしではあったが、バカであると報告をされるほど、問題児だった幼きレティシア。)

At that time, the Ducal House announced that she was recuperating from an illness at a place far away from the capital, while intending to keep her from the public. If her appearance were unexceptional, in truth such an action would be enough. However, such beauty was rarely seen, the meticulous Ducal House would need to keep her in the house to maintain the excuse.

Although her education was left to the tutor, she never had her debut in high society.

But on her tenth birthday, the clergy of every country in the continent all received an oracle: “A Brave will appear. Her name is Leticia Von Mavis.”

Thus, the Ducal House which had treated her as a burden, changed their treatment of her. Leticia’s family began to interfere with her life, until Leticia herself felt troubled. To be specific, her father the Duke, no matter the cost, would send a merchant to procure whatever she wanted on the same day. (However, her sense of money was already influenced by Wynn’s plebeian sense of money). (TL: same-day shipping for anything she wanted!) Furthermore, the duke personally invited famous martial artists and magicians to the mansion (Great Sage Tiara was invited at this time), in the hopes that some would stay with her.

However, in the end, to the Leticia who had never been spoiled until then, such excessively blatant actions only made her more cautious, and did not change her daily trips to Wynn’s place that would go on for half a year, when she would depart.

“Aah, I really want to hurry and leave. I wanna return to Onii-chan’s side~.”

“Is this Elder Brother (Onii-kimi)that you are talking about Reiruzu of the Mavis House?” (TL: -kimi seems to be an archaic suffix… Any suggestions for 兄君? )

Liara extended her hand towards Leticia, and slowly petted her soft hair.

Leticia was still sprawled on the floor, letting Liara pet her.

Leticia would only show the sight of an exhausted Leticia to her companions.

Before she arrived at the Ducal House and was called to the palace, Leticia would hide her current state under the dignified aura of the Brave.

To her, the Ducal House could not be called her true family.

“Come to think of it, throughout the journey, she would say ‘I wanna see to Onii-chan! I wanna return to his side!’. You must really like your Elder Brother, ne?.

Surprisingly, when she neared the Ducal House, instead of returning to her brother immediately, she rented a room to stay in.

“After this ordeal of visiting the Duke, she’s now free to meet her Elder Brother now.”

“Is your Onii-chan not your elder brother(Onii-ue)?”

“However, doesn’t the Mavis House have four children, including Young Master Reiruzu and Leti’s older sister?” (TL: ですが、メイヴィス公爵家はレイルズ公子にレティの姉君がお二人の四兄妹ではありませんでしたか？ Any suggestions?)

Asked Liara, doubtfully.

“Aren’t they different? Onii-chan  is my Master!”

(TL: Star Wars tier revelation! (Only have actually seen ep. 4))

“Wait a minute!”

Raul interrupted Leticia’s words.

“Leti’s Master is young enough to be called Onii-chan?”

Until this point, the three people’s image of Leticia’s Master was a sharp, elderly man.

However, the one Leticia called ‘Onii-chan’ would have to be in his 20s or 30s.

“Onii-chan is two years older than me. Aah, I wanna see him soon~!”

He was far from being in his 20s. He was in his teens.

The Hero Party was shocked at this statement. (TL: I finally gave up on using Brave at this instance of “Yuusha”… It sounds too much like an adjective sometimes. Should I perservere?)

“It can’t be. Could this Onii-chan be stronger the Leti?”

“Just before I departed I never once won against him.”

“When I was invited to accompany Leti, she was already stronger than me,” supplemented Tiara, who was part of the party from the beginning.

“Haa? Wait a minute!”

Raul reflexively stood up, facing Tiara.

“When you were called, Leti was only 10 years old right? At that time, she was already stronger than you?”

Like other elves, although Tiara appeared to be in her teens, she was already over 150 years old.

“Sou, As expected of the Brave, to have such amazing swordsmanship and magic skills. Your second name ‘Divine Sword Princess’ is not just for show.”

“Oo, seriously?”

The three shifted their attention to the p.r.o.ne Leticia.

Throughout the journey, they had seen her fighting strength that utterly lacked common sense.

As a matter of fact, even if the three challenged Leticia together, Leticia would still be completely victorious.

“Leti’s master can’t be stronger than Leti is right now right?”

“I am now stronger than him.”

“So that’s how it is? I would like to have a match with him. How about you?” ?(TL: Can somebody explain どうだろう？Is it right?)

“Raul thinks he can win the match.”

Leticia finally gets up from the chair. (TL:Katakana says table for some reason,  in the beginning, it said chair in kanji then table in katakana…)

“Mou –“

While rearranging her clothes, Leticia looked out the window.

If it’s a match, then Onii-chan would win, wouldn’t he?”
