Tensei Reijou wa Shomin no Aji ni Uete Iru

「That’s the case, so give up.
Miria, tie it a little tighter」
「Yes…」

Miria apologetically put her strength into it and pulled on the corset’s strings.

Uguu… ha! Right!

「Right, right, Okaasama? I have made a new type of pastry yesterday as a present for Queen-sama」
「… Did you say a new type of pastry!?」

Okaasama’s eyes shot open.
Alright, she took the bait!

「Yes.
It’s a new product made with apples.
Once given to Queen-sama, she will surely want to eat them right away」
「… That might be the case… 」

Hearing about the new product, Okaasama started fidgeting.
She’s curious about what kind of pastry it is, no doubt.

「… However, with both Okaasama and me tied up this tightly, we surely won’t be able to try a single mouthful, right? That’s why I’m thinking of handing the new type of pastry to Queen-sama just as we are about to return」
「Wha!?」

Okaasama abruptly stood up with a shock written all over her face.
Got her.

「Wouldn’t it be sad not being able to eat even though it was right in front of us… Okaasama wouldn’t like that too, right? However, it’s unfortunate but… let’s do that, okay? Besides, it doesn’t seem that I will be able to slowly make pastry for a while… just watching as Queen-sama eats would be like a slow death…」

I told her regrettably.

「… Miria.
As I thought, loosen up the corset a little.
Also, help to loosen mine a little as well」
「… I understand」

Miria loosened my corset with a wry smile.

Yay~! Let’s continue in this manner!
Ohh~!
