Can Someone Please Explain This Situation

Chapter 14

Ch . 14 Rainy Day

A long spell of rain is continuing .

In this capital city Rosia, twice a year, there is a period where rain falls for around a month,

It is the first rainy season since I came to the duke house .

On rainy days it is basically free time . What cleaning and laundry that can be done is limited so if they have a small amount of work then the earlier the servants do it . All the same I cannot snatch away their work !

After I enjoyed breakfast with the maids, I writhe in pain on top of a comfortable couch in my room . It is a first since coming to the duke house~ .

“Free, free, free~! But I don’t want to embroider . Lace work is also impossible~ my body will become weak~!”

“Mistress……”

Dahlia and Mimosa watch over me wriggling amazed . But it cannot be helped . For me who everyday, not just in the mansion, but in the spacious garden I darts here and there and being told have mistress-like refined time in my room is similar to agony! That is why I do things like reading, I like it? But all day long, and for many days to pass the time like this then certainly, that will be ‘I won’t’ . I am going insane . I also like books but I like moving more . Even though I do say so myself, I have balance between movement and stillness!

I writhe in pain, on the couch for quite a time when, Lotus, lightly knocks on the room door, and enters .

“Mistress, if the you have nothing to do with the time how about taking something like dance lessons?”

Lotus proposes, smiling .

“Dancing?”

I look blankly at the unexpected suggestion . Where and how is this suggestion related?

“That is correct . If you dance your body can move and because, it seems that when just-in-case-it-is-needed it will remain imprinted in your body”

“……I don’t think ‘a case-where-it-is-needed’ will ever come~”

Now and in the future, I do not have any plans to go to social places where dancing is necessary?

“Well, I would not say that . ”

And yet Lotus hangs on with a smile . What is this?, this big smiling face with a feeling of pressure . I guess it is only me who feels like I somehow cannot refuse?

“~~~~ understood”

“Well then, let me guide you to the lesson area”

I was beaten down my opponent’s persistence and reluctantly agree and Lotus’ smile grows bigger and bigger .

Just in case, I have made a debut in high society .

Just in case, I am able to social dance .

But after all it is ‘just in case’

“Do not lower your gaze! The corners of your mouth are coming down! Attach a smile!! Straighten your back!!!”

Unforgiving coaching comes in mercilessly .

“Yesssss~~~!!”

I, at length, respond in a miserable voice . It’s painful~ it’s sad~ ……I wanna cry!

Lotus is a demon coach .

Lotus apparently has his dance coaching diploma, so he is very skillful . As for me, I am at the level of being able to dance ‘just in case’ at things like parties, so there is room for improvement from Lotus sensei .

More truthfully, I am made to start again from basic posture .

“From now on, on rainy days let us do dancing lessons . It will be very good for Mistress’ muscles,”

He eloquently said with a big smile but I am flopped on the wall couch in exhaustion . In spite of there only being one lesson this morning, this is my state of affairs .

Ah again, I regret I gave in to Lotus’ pressuring smile .

After the strict dance lesson that exceeded the category for ‘a good exercise for killing time’, I have a light lunch and I am groggy in my room .

“Oh, mistress! Are you still restless?”

said Mimosa as she approaches me stretched out on the couch .

“Because it was intense~! Lotus is a demon, a demon!”

Ah~also, my body is awkward all over . This will be a complete muscle pain course tomorrow!

I massage my lower back,

“It seems he has really worked you hard . If the fatigue continues tomorrow that will not be good . Here, mistress, please leave it to us!”

Mimosa said smiling a big smile . Uh huh, sometime ago it was this kind of situation . And in that smile there is the pressure ‘you can not refuse’ .

“Un, understood”

I answer with an awkward smile,

“Well then please wait just a moment!”

Said Mimosa as she flew out of the like a hurricane .

A few minutes later, I think, Mimosa comes back with several maids and gently,

“From now on we will polish mistress to a sparkle!”

She said, again smiling a big grin .

……what is going to happen next?!

A few hours later .

From head to toe I was polished to a sparkle . I see . It was a full aesthetic course!

“I have wanted to this all along! Mistress still has some more room for improvement, so I’m looking forward to it~”

Come to think of it, Mimosa has occasionally tried to dress me up, she urged to polish me up and had excitedly taken my hand!

Her heart’s desire came true, Mimosa is terribly satisfied .

However, as for me certainly I got physically fatigued but, it seems like something mental has been scraped off . I was jostled (no sorry, massaged!) by several maids, a coating of a nice smelling perfume was put on, as always to finish different hair and makeup was applied, a dress, not the servants uniform, was put on me .

Certainly a lovely mistress as been completed!

“……it’s lovely, thanks……”

The me reflected in the mirror is like a different person . No~ the makeup skills are high, the sense of choice for the dress and accessories is good quality, Mimosa possesses splendid skills . I was so transformed, involuntarily it seemed suspiciously like ‘special makeup?’

Wealthy socialite wives do this everyday? … . . I found out it is not suitable for me . Long live the servant life!! Hooray for natural makeup!

I am certainly more exhausted than those days where I go and wander around the mansion .

Although half of my soul has flown somewhere, when heading towards the servants dining room to have dinner with Dahlia and Mimosa like usual, Dahlia said one thing,

“From now on, on rainy days it will be good to spend them like this, we have found this quite fulfilling . ”

Grin .

Dahlia’s smile also gives off the feeling of not being able to resist something……
