After taking a run with cousin, I immediately returned to my room and changed. I was soaked from top to bottom. Why… Even though Ryuze had a refreshed expression on his face with not a drop of sweat.
Although I want to wash up, this world doesn’t have convenient showers and baths like my previous one. Baths are set once per day. The maids gets the water ready in the tub, you soak in it and wash up… no, get washed up.
Even an Earl’s daughter gets this treatment. It sure makes one want to push for knowledge on what those with lower ranks do.
“Aah, the stench… stench from sweat, stench from body”
The problems to my worries tend to never run out.
I have lessons after this. Attending to class with such stench makes me sorry for the tutor. Honestly, I didn’t think it’ll be that bad… Britany’s body stench, to be feared.
Changing into a dress, I had a maid tend my sweaty hair that smelled, and sat in front the desk. Today’s lessons is on history and embroidery. Although it’s the Britany who’s bad at studying, with the revival of these memories, these lessons should be manageable.
The lessons taken by the study hater, Britany, is limited to history, embroidery, manners, dance, poetry and music lessons. However, competent people can pinpointedly guess. History lessons became nap time, lousy at embroidery, the minimum required manners are obtained, but dancing made the teacher fractured through her steps. Her talents in poems is catastrophic, singing and playing instruments is already on the level of polluting. The starting ‘enthusiastic’ teachers was now without a spec of it thanks to Britany’s superb ways.
“If only my memories returned to me sooner…”
Regrets are there, but it’s already too late. There’s only the path of intent studying. Not that I think it’ll make a difference in lessons like poetry and music that requires talent.
After my history and embroidery lessons, I headed to the dinning room for dinner. The Earl’s family requires all family members to eat dinner together. Even though I say all members, it’s only a small meal totalling three people: grandfather, Ryuze, and me. The servants are, of course, present are well, but all of them are stuck to the wall, killing any form of indication to their existence.
Overall, I did pretty well for my lessons. My history teacher, an uncle in his 40s was worried if I had eaten something wrong. The young lady in charge of teaching embroidery saw her student’s sudden improvement and concluded my bloom in talent with joy. Leaving that aside, I plan on asking grandfather for more classes. As someone of an earl’s family, I would like to know at least the basics of geography, economics and politics.
Grandfather and Ryuze’s eyeballs were both fixated on the meal prepared for me that’s lying on the table, constantly twinkling their eyes as though they were hallucinating. Today’s meals were, as requested, vegetables based, healthy, low in fat, and small in proportion.
“Britany, what’s the matter? Is your stomach unwell?” He sent worried gazes in this find that his granddaughter suddenly had such a small appetite.
Your wrong, it’s not like that, grandfather.
“I’m perfectly fine, just starting on a diet. Having too much fat isn’t good for the body so, I’m going to thin up.” I replied in a haste.
It’s probably better not to touch the subject of the engagement annulment. The fact that his granddaughter got dumped gave him more of a shock than the person herself.
“But… you’ll get hungry with a meal like that. Let’s get some sweets prepared for you later.”
Count Sarusu Hakusu is extremely doting on his grandchildren. However, this gentleness is currently backfiring. Having sweets during the night is out of question. I definitely can’t have any more weight increases.
“I am fine, grandfather. Just your feelings are enough”
It’s a bit painful to reject his good will, but it can’t be helped. I’ll ignorantly stuff my cheeks with vegetables like a caterpillar.
And finally, night time, my long-awaited bath. I have my big body get washed by the servants. Although I feel a bit reluctant to get washed like this after remembering everything, as an earl’s daughter, all that can be done is give up. Even so, it must be hard to wash such a big body… requiring two servants to wash every nook and cranny. All that sweat during the day would probably get washed off like this, sadly, the body stench won’t.
However, I can’t call for too much extravagance. I’m already more well off as an earl’s daughter. The servants who’re washing can only wipe me with a wet towel, nothing else. Getting out of the bath, changing into my sleepwear then lying down on the bed…
“I’m hungry…”
The body of a fatty immediately starts to desire food. Although expected, but Britany’s body just won’t get satisfied with healthy goods. It did always get stuffed sweets inside during dinner and supper, there’s no way that meal just then would be enough.
Guuguu, it called in a big voice like the cry of a toad’s.
“En-Endure…”
Today’s running and healthy menu would all be for naught if a eat something now. We cannot attract Meriru’s sister with this ugly, fat filled body.
When I close my eyes, what comes to mind is sweet cakes, juicy steak… Ugh… I want to eat… but no! I can’t!
I eventually fell into sleep, ignoring the voice of my heart.
In the middle of the night, I woke up by a loud cry of a toad’s. Apparently, this stomach was ringing all night long.
“Ah, a-re…?”
Looking around the place, a sense of discomfort rose within me.
“This, this isn’t my room. It’s the kitchen…”
Without knowing when, I have left my room and came to the kitchen. What’s in front, was the storage room for ingredients. P-Perhaps…?! I urgently checked my hands and mouth in case I was eating something unconsciously. There was nothing in my hand, nothing around my mouth, no taste to my tongue… Okay! Safe!
I quickly scrambled back to my room.
What fearful sleepwalking!
What fearful tenacity for food!!
