A Righteous Female Knight Never Compromises!-Chapter 58 : Did you have fun yesterday
Chapter 58 - Did you have fun yesterday?
Fortunately, today was a bit different, at least Anna remembered she needed to run the simulation, so it was successfully launched.
...Other than that, it was almost no different from yesterday.
Oh...does it count that Louise wasn't as aggressive as Helga when playing games?
...After a night of humiliating gaming sessions, followed by multiple costume changes, Louise seemed eager to dress Anna in all the clothes they had bought during their afternoon shopping spree. As a result, throughout the gaming night, Anna's clothes kept appearing and disappearing.
In any case, Anna felt numb.
At least five of the newly bought clothes were torn apart. Afterward, Anna didn't feel any joy, only seeing the gold she had spent yesterday going down the drain due to Louise's actions.
What made Anna even more frustrated was that the swimsuit she was least satisfied with from yesterday's shopping, she had planned to let Louise “accidentally” tear it apart while she was having fun ripping clothes...
However, this so-called “bikini” was way too revealing, and with only a few strings holding it together, it was too easy to undo... In the end, Anna ended up wearing that swimsuit and completing the night's gaming session with Louise.
...The simulation didn't yield anything new this time. Anna's intention was to avoid contact with that duchess, and the result was once again a life spent as a noble.
Could it be that after everything was over, she should refuse Princess Mia, no, by then she would be the queen, her rewards, and tell the queen that she wanted to search for her family's secrets or something like that?
Although it wasn't impossible, and her intuition told her she could do it, refusing a dukedom... Anna felt her heart bleeding.
This was what she had always pursued... Wasn't joining the royal knights also about making a name for herself and reviving her family? Becoming a duke would directly revive the family.
Then, she could have a few children with Louise, Helga, and Atala... At worst, the first child could take their surname... As long as there were multiple children, the Garland family could continue its legacy...
...Though whether they could have that many children was another question, and who would be the one to get pregnant?
Surely they wouldn't be so terrible as to make her do it, right?
I heard childbirth is like a fairy tale...
As her thoughts grew increasingly chaotic, Anna felt a bit dizzy when the door finally opened.
“...Senpai, time to get up.”
Louise, who had already changed into her clothes and looked full of energy, looked at Anna, who was still lying in bed like a lazy worm, with a helpless expression.
“...I was so tired last night, let me sleep a bit longer.”
“It's already 10 a.m., you know?”
Louise's words instantly woke Anna up, and her mind stopped wandering to those messy thoughts.
“It's already 10?”
“Yes.”
“...Fine, I'll get up.”
Sleeping in until 10 a.m., how lazy, Anna!
...Anna, who is unusually diligent in strange places, will probably spend another lazy day today.
...
Although last night's gaming session seemed a bit too noisy, fortunately, Anna had always made it a habit to set up simple soundproofing magic before playing games. This way, it shouldn't attract her mother-in-law to eavesdrop or anything...
After all, in the novels Anna had read, mothers-in-law loved to eavesdrop! She had to be cautious!
However, although Anna knew she had set up soundproofing magic, seeing Louise's mother giving her that half-smiling look from morning until lunch made Anna feel a bit uneasy.
Could she have still been eavesdropping?
She couldn't really ask that question. Although Anna was shameless and embarrassing now, she still needed to maintain some basic dignity.
As a result, even after finishing the meal and leaving, Anna still felt uneasy.
“...Senpai, why do you keep frowning?”
“...?”
Anna looked at Louise in confusion, and Louise rolled her eyes.
“Senpai, you don't really think you're hiding your emotions well, do you?”
“Well...not really.”
Seeing that Anna actually had such confidence, Louise was a bit speechless.
“...Even if you think you're hiding it well, we've been living together for so long, so it's only natural that I can tell.”
...But we've only been living together for a month or two.
If you think about it, it was when Louise moved into her house in the royal city that they officially started living together...so it's only been about a month.
...No, considering Louise's situation, it should probably be counted from half a year ago when Louise started paying attention to her.
Then, Anna shared her thoughts with Louise.
“...Mom was eavesdropping?”
Louise was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.
“No way, absolutely not. Mom isn't that kind of person.”
“Mom always likes to look at people she's interested in that way. If it were someone she wasn't familiar with, she wouldn't stare like that.”
Anna felt like this was the first time she had heard Louise use the word “Mom.”
...Although Louise said that, during their last meeting, her mother-in-law—no, mother, didn't look at her that way, did she?
Was this the so-called “familiarity breeds contempt” principle?
Anna still felt something was off, at least her intuition told her something was definitely wrong.
...Speaking of which, had her intuition been triggered too much today?
Just from this morning until now, her intuition had been triggered twice...
“This is so annoying...I don't want to think about it anymore.”
Anna simply let her thoughts wander while riding her horse.
“So it's just that you're overthinking it, Senpai.”
“...”
...
Their home wasn't far from the Latimir family's place, and riding back at a slow pace didn't take much time.
However, as they approached their home, Anna noticed something seemed different...
Though, what was different wasn't her home, but the house across from hers, Helga's place.
“It looks like the preparations for the banquet are almost done.”
On the other hand, Louise, who had seen it all before, wasn't surprised.
“Banquet...”
Without Louise's reminder, Anna wouldn't have associated all these strange decorations with a banquet...
Do the Lunarians really need to hang so many weird decorations on the streetlights and their front doors for a banquet?
Looking at these...rather barbaric-looking decorations, Anna was puzzled.
At that moment, Anna also saw Helga in the yard, directing people to hang things.
As if sensing their gaze, Helga looked over.
Then, Anna saw Helga's lips curve into a smile, and she spoke,
“Did you have fun last night?”
