"Sakizuke... it's an appetizer"

On your signal, the waiter begins to carry the food.

... some kind of fish stew? Eggplant Taraku? Dashimaki... eggs?

A line of dishes resembling Japanese cuisine never seen in this world.

"They use this to eat in the Empire. Try it if you want."

That's what the service put in front of me... chopsticks.

Robert, holding one chopstick at a time, is talking to the prince.

Unlike being rude to Emma, she behaved in public.

Normally, no matter what, I am used to being born into a duke.

"Prince Tasks, how do we use this?

"This is called chopsticks. This is how you grab food with one hand and two."

The prince also began explaining while smiling at Robert and the face of the same seat where he had never used chopsticks.

"Oops... this is hard."

"Oh, look at my fingers, not with goo, here's the thing."

"Prince, what do you think?

"No, it's kind of a shame. Chopsticks don't cross well like this. Like holding a pen...."

Well, it's an intercultural exchange.

The prince carefully teaches Robert, Beatrice and His Highness Edward, who have never used chopsticks.

"Ah! Miss Emma is very good."

When the prince cared about Emma, who had not heard anything, it was just the moment he ate the rolled eggs with chopsticks. The way chopsticks are held is strictly disciplined by the client.

"Miss Emma! Amazing. Have you ever used a ladder?

"Emma is clever."

Arthur and the prince were surprised and praised by Emma's chopsticks. Meanwhile, Emma put all the pieces in her mouth, so she couldn't reply immediately. The timing was too bad.

Hurry, chew and swallow the dashimaki egg, and then smile and deceive, laughing and answering.

"Yes, I've used it a little before"

Like everyone else, I should have pretended to learn chopsticks, but I didn't think I could hold the Japanese food in front of my eyes for the first time in a long time, so I took it to my mouth.

Dashimaki egg with kombuchi dashi soup... I wanted to taste more and eat it.

Besides, Grandma is going to scold me if I don't suck it out. Nobility is annoying.

"Prince Tasks, the sauce tangled with this eggplant is a strange taste. I've never eaten it before."

It's not funny that Emma stands out by herself, Beatrice says how she feels about cooking.

I think I gave up chopsticks and ate them with a knife and a fork.

"Ah, that's" miso. "Um..." Fermentation of soybeans...? '...' Koji fungus...? "I'm sorry, I'm unfamiliar with the language and I can't tell you, but it's a condiment that is often used in my empire."

The prince is troubled by the explanation of the miso.

His Majesty only said that he had just begun national relations with the Emperor. Perhaps the Prince has decided to study abroad and has not had enough time to study the language. I apologize for not knowing the fine words yet.

"Misso? That sounds strange. The taste is strong and delicious."

"Sure, it's a taste I've never eaten, but it's delicious. There's no food in my kingdom, is there?"

Arthur and the prince both ate eggplant rice and liked it.

The royal prince laughs in a restless manner.

Ah, this smile... I know.

The memory of the previous life came back to life unexpectedly. Emma, I remember the harbor.

Single aristocrats often traveled alone in the harbor. My favorite is Kyoto. So for some reason, the harbour has a good chance of being heard by foreigners.

In everyday life, you can say excuse me ~ when you go to a tourist destination, even though they don't hear you at all. Is this the fate of 100% Japanese faces?

When I was a student, I didn't have bad English grades, but when I spoke, my difficulty increased dramatically.

However, I went straight ahead and there was a shrine on the right side, so I just wanted to tell you that if you pass too far, you can see the station, but I was anxious to tell you that the drawers that should have studied English for many years were too busy and didn't come out, and I didn't convey to you what I wanted to tell you, so I used to make a funny feeling.

Wasn't my smile the same as that of the prince?

"Your Highness," Miso "is a fermentation of soybeans with koji fungus. Soy is a familiar ingredient in Japan."

Unexpectedly, he was taking over and explaining the words that the prince would like to convey.

My mouth moved freely because I remember that day, even though I might be scolded by my grandmother if I squeezed out.

"Soy... miso? I had no idea. You know Emma, don't you?

"Fermentation feels like yogurt. You really knew."

"Don't talk about women's habits."

…………

The prince and Arthur praise Emma honestly, and Robert complains funny and indifferent. Miss Beatrice looks at Emma with a little surprise. I finally had a look, so I smiled back.

"Um, I'm sorry. What did Miss Emma just say? I can't hear a lot of words....."

Everyone reacts in Emma's words, so the prince asks me sorry.

The prince of one country is about to apologize and understand the conversation, even though he can somehow laugh and flush it in the atmosphere.

Good boy.

Don't act like Robert, don't make a fool of a woman like Robert, and be an apprentice, Robert...

Apparently, the prince was expected to introduce himself and teach how to hold chopsticks, so I checked in advance, but there are many words that I don't understand, and it seems that it is necessary to study a little more to reach a level that does not interfere with everyday conversations.

"Prince Edward said it was a ingredient not found in the kingdom, so I explained that the miso was fermented with koji fungus, and that soy was a familiar ingredient in Japan."

As the prince understands, Emma explains the conversation earlier by translating it into Japanese.

…………

…………

…………

What? The venue suddenly calms down with the scene.

……

... ah!

It is a coincidence that the fermentation such as the miso and rice cake is in Japanese, so I think it is possible that it is not imperial language = Japanese.

Huh? That makes me so embarrassed...!? Suddenly I'm supposed to have spoken a meaningless word???

"Ah, um... uh, that was..."

Hey, did you do it? I can't think of any excuse or deception.

Did you... do it again... at this formal dinner?

"Eh, Emma? Can you speak imperial language?

Crown Prince Gatan stood up and moved to Emma's seat, holding Emma's hands.

"Ah... did I... do you understand the words properly?

When Emma heard a little bravery in the words of the prince, the prince approached him even closer and brushed his neck vertically. You seem kind of excited.

"It's so cheap. Pronunciation, grammar, and respect are all perfect imperial languages. The kingdom has heard that our language is difficult to understand and conversation is difficult, but I have never met such a perfect speaker!

You were so happy, the imperial momentum didn't stop, and you're about to hug.

We can't talk about the situation, huh? Huh? Looking around, the prince, Arthur, Robert, Beatrice and the adults looked at Emma in surprise. Somebody, someone, please help me before the prince hugs you!

If this is the previous life, I can tell you to take the Crown Prince's hand and calm down, but I'm in the middle of a dinner party right now, and Grandma is watching the cancer all over the venue, and if she hugs me like this, I'll be out in a dawdling way...

After all, I'm not causing trouble, am I? The noise is coming, isn't it?

Emma's voiceless cries of heart arrived, and the prince was pulled from behind and managed to be released safely.

Looking up, it appears that His Majesty the King kept away from Emma when he heard the tense voice of the prince.

However,

"Hey Emma!! Can you speak imperial language?!!?

His Majesty grabbed both Emma's arms and listened in a hurry.

Why are you joining the commotion, Your Majesty? Auntie, you're really scared!?

Ah, but you might as well be hugged by His Majesty... rather a chance to be hugged!?

What a hardened body, and unexpectedly entering a waiting position, His Majesty was also pulled back away.

"Your Majesty!! Stop grabbing Emma's right arm! It resonates with scars!

Looking at Emma, who had been grabbed in both arms, the prince, who had recovered from shock as soon as possible, was now pulling the king away from Emma.

For a moment, I thought it was superfluous... but I feel sorry for seeing the prince's face that really worries me.

The prince also saw a scratch on the scallop before he was treated. The two arms grabbed by His Majesty were the deepest and the worst.

I'm sorry, Prince. Um, I'm totally healed, so I'm fine.

I said I don't want to dance because I have a little sequelae, but the truth is, I'm fully recovered. You don't have to worry about it at all. And I apologize in my heart.

"Ahhh! Emma, did it hurt? Are you okay?"

The King glanced at Emma carefreely.

The royal family shouldn't apologize so easily... Your Majesty... face, face! You don't have to say anything to apologize for your face. Thank you for saving this expression in your brain Ikeogi folder!

The feeling of being grabbed is still there, but it is not as painful as it was originally, so I am fine.

It's just the prince, His Majesty, the reaction is strange. He said it was unusual to speak imperial language... Emma, the Empire itself, is the first country I've heard of today, so the situation remains incomprehensible.

"It was okay, Your Majesty. Never mind."

I try to smile so that you can feel comfortable with a smile, but in this case, Emma is the center of the noise. I'm terrified and can't see my grandmother. Cold sweat and tremors come at the same time.

The prince and Arthur supported me from both sides of Emma to sit anyway, which would make me sit gently and slowly in the chair, but the more attention was drawn, the colder the sweat came out and I despaired that I would definitely not be angry again today.

I'm sorry - I'm sorry - I'm fine. I'm fine. Why don't you squat and show me?

I tried to get up, but everyone pushed me back into my chair and I couldn't show off my squat.

"Are you okay? Emma?"

Hyi!! Finally, my grandmother's hand is attached to my back and locked on...

Grandma was not angry when she raised her face that she was lying down wondering if the sermon would start in this place.

What should I do? You're worried sick. The angle of the eyebrows is always the opposite... It's okay, right? Auntie? Don't look at me like that!

It's so painful to see such a worrying face...

This is better than getting mad at me!

I want to scream that I'm not here!!

You can see the panic and the sweat of the balls floating on your forehead.

If I go to school at the end of the day, I wonder if the sweaty lady will point me in the back...

"Auntie, everyone is really okay with me, too. Please return to your seats."

In a strange sense of tension, I forcibly raise the edge of my mouth to make a smile, but no one returns to their seats, and not only Grandma, but everyone's eyebrows are in the shape of a c and they look at me.

Ugh, isn't there a hole somewhere around my time?

"Your Majesty, would you like Emma to rest in a separate room?

The prince bows his head to the king and asks permission to leave his seat as if he had heard Emma's wish.

"Yes, let him rest quickly."

Thank you, Your Grace! Nice Assist, Your Highness!

This is enough to escape this atmosphere. If that's the case, we'll get you out of here as soon as possible.

And the moment you think about it, your body floats.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

The prince said no to the king and went to the exit of the venue as soon as possible.

Bring Emma home as a princess...
