Tensei Reijou wa Shomin no Aji ni Uete Iru

as an investor, I would surely be able to eat all I can, right… ahh, please prepare a menu based around mayonnaise by all means, yes.”

Your expression has loosened for some reason at the end, but you are naive, Mariel-chan.
I have a long history as a light otaku and unpopular woman who did not yearn for marriage, probably because I fully enjoyed myself alone.
Holding on such memories from my past life, it wouldn’t be strange if I withered already, even if I am currently only ten years old.

Of course, I understand that I have a political marriage to fulfill as my aristocratic duty.
But, being a noble’s wife or the Crown Princess… and eventually the Queen.
That would cause a huge gap in my lifestyle.

As a noble’s wife, I would be able to be more or less flexible and might be able to cook or go shopping, but that’s not going to happen if I become the Queen.
… Well, I am worried about this, but I don’t think the doting parent that is Otousama is going to make me marry out of convenience.
Rather, I am worried that I might become a woman who had missed the chance of getting married because of him.
Therefore, if I become a woman who had missed the chance of getting married, I might as well open a cozy café somewhere in the fief.
Otousama and others are saying “You can stay here forever!” but Oniisama is eventually going to find himself a wife and start managing the fief, so I as the sister-in-law just can’t stay there, can I?

… Ah, imagining that made me feel lonely.

“Cristea-san? Is something the matter?”
“… Eh? Ah.
I, it’s nothing.
Indeed, if a time like that comes, I will make sure to tell you, Mariel-san.”
“! D, definitely, all right!? You have promised!”
“Y, yeah… but, I won’t be making something like a mayonnaise-only menu, alright?”
“Ehh!? Why not!”

Overwhelmed by Mariel-chan who pressed me with a frightful vigor, I made a promise to her on my unknown future.
