The Case of Being Reincarnated as a Noble in a World with a Skewed Gender Ratio - 24

Chapter 24: Spending Time With Tia

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

But, man~ That was really bad… The king of our country, I mean… Haaah~

However, much to our surprise, it was Queen Heartness herself who stopped His Majesty from becoming a boobs enthusiast.

“….Shouldn’t we stop this person, who has been making long-winded speeches about boobs all by himself, Tia-chan?”

“If I can stop him, I’d have done so. Please, if there’s anyone that can stop him, do it! Do it by any means necessary! Please!”

Queen Heartness nodded and at the same time, she kicked the ground, causing the twin melons to shake heavily. 

“El?”

“Darling?”

“…”

No, I mean… I can’t help it, you know? Those melons literally went boing boing! 

In any case, Queen Heartness swiftly sneaked behind King Rainrose and delivered a sharp chop to his neck with her hand. Thud! The king fainted and before the king could hit the ground, the queen caught the king. Like a doll with its strings cut, the king laid limbless onto the queen’s arms. 

It was like those scenes where characters fainted in manga. I didn’t expect I’d get to see this reenactment with my own eyes… It was amazing. 

But… To be fair… Wasn’t this what His Majesty secretly desired? To be buried in Queen Heartness’ ample bosom…

“It is done.”

“Thank you.”

“No need to thank me… Anyway, what should we do with this disgus- I mean, with this person?”

No, wait, you were about to say this disgusting man, weren’t you?!

“El, where’s the organic waste disposal around here?”

Tia’s eyes were deadly serious as she said so. Well, the king was certainly wrong here. 

In the end, the king was taken by the guards. The guards took the king to the inn they were staying at.

Queen Heartness and Miria also decided to return to the inn where they were staying. Much to my relief, they were staying at a different inn from where His Majesty was staying. After all, it seemed like His Majesty would keep on making long-winded speeches about boobs every time he saw Queen Heartness.

As for Miria… Well, of course she was grumbling, just like usual.

“Mother?! We’re returning to the inn already?! But it’s still early in the afternoon! I want to spend more time with Darling!”

“We’ll be staying here for a while, so let Tia-chan have her turn for today, okay?”

(If that perverted bastard, I mean,  if King Rainrose were to wake up now, we might have to listen to his stupid brambles again…)

“Buuuut….”

“Besides, if I get more annoyed than this, I might end up finishing him off, you know?”

(Besides, a good woman knows when to attack and when to back down, you know?)

Queen Heartness, your inner thoughts and your actual speech were switched out, you know?

“Anyway, we’re going to the inn for now, Miria! See you later, Tia-chan! And… Our future husband?~”

“Uuugh… I understand, Mother. See you later, Darling! And Tia too! Let’s have a proper talk next time we meet, okay?”

After we saw the two of them off… 

“So, Tia, what are you going to do now?”

“Is that all you have to say after we haven’t seen each other in so long?”

“Uum… It’s been a while, Tia…”

“It’s been a while indeed… No, I mean, we’re friends, aren’t we?! You didn’t even come to see me since my birthday party… It’s been two years since then! We’ve only exchanged letters!”

“That’s… Well, you see… I’ve been busy making miso and all sorts of stuff…”

“Lance came to see me, you know?”

“Yeah, I know that. Lance told me that in his letter… Bu-But..! I apologized in my letter, didn’t I?”

“There’s more! I still have a lot more to say! That maid over there! She’s Leila-chan, right?! I-I know she’s your maid b-but for you to sleep with her, take baths with her and spend more time with her than with me?! Not to mention, that whole engagement thing with Miria-chan…. Yo-You’re so sleazy! Way too sleazy!! And then, and then, you were ogling Queen Heartness’s boobs too! Your eyes!! I could see how entranced you were with her boobs! Your eyes were all heart heart heart heart shaped! Well, that boobs enthusiast was weird too… To think that boobs enthusiast is my father… I’m sad, to be honest. I don’t know how to describe it but anyway, anyway…!!”

Tia was complaining at an amazing speed! I mean, how did she know I had been taking baths with Leila?! Look! Leila’s face was all red now! Besides, not just Leila! I took baths together with everyone, okay?! My mother wouldn’t let me bathe alone! I wasn’t being all heart heart heart shaped! I only glanced at Queen Heartness’ boobs for a bit! As for His Majesty… Unfortunately, there was nothing I could say about him.

“….I’m sorry.”

“El, do you really understand what you’ve done wrong?”

“I should’ve said that first…”

“…Said what?”

I took Tia’s hand and…

“I missed you, Tia.”

“-?! I-I missed you too, El.”

＊＊＊

After that, I showed Tia around the town. 

“El?! What is that?!”

“That’s a food stall that sells skewers seasoned with miso!”

It was a food stall where they sold vegetables and meat skewers flavored with miso. Basically, a miso glazed skewer! Of course, this was also one of the first businesses that I started in this world. We bought three skewers from the lady at the stall. Yes, I paid for it properly. One was for Leila, who was following us a little further in the back. 

“Here, Tia! Try it!”

“Okay!♪ Thank you! Hmmm! Delish!~”

“Right?~ I will have a bite too! Mmmh! Yeah, it’s pretty good!”

“Pretty good? It’s already so delicious though.. Can it get any better than this?”

“Well, there are a lot of things that can be improved in this world.”

“El, you’re amazing.”

“No, I’m not.”

“I really respect that part of you, you know?”

“Umm… Thank you, Tia.”

“Hm? Geez~ El, look, you have something on your face.”

Tia used her index finger to scoop up the miso that was stuck to my mouth and… She brought her finger to her mouth.

Huh…? Wha-What are you doing, Tia?!

“Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Tia?!”

“Hm…? Ah-!”

Finally realizing what she had done, Tia’s face quickly turned bright red. My face must be as red as hers too. It was embarrassing, but… How to explain it… It didn’t feel awkward. The mood between us felt strangely comfortable.
