Her Butt's all Bouncy
After a while, Nao returned from the back of the shop carrying a large burlap sack. And not just one—two of them...
When I looked at her in surprise,
“Ahaha. You look surprised, Young lady. It’s thanks to my skill that boosts physical strength. Without using it, this would be impossible.”
“Ahaha, right~ I was a little shocked.”
“This is the glutinous rice and red beans. How much would you like?”
“Ah, what should I do… There are so many things I want to make.”
“Then, how about buying however much we can sell? There aren’t that many people who buy ingredients from the Eastern Country. Just two or three regulars, you, and also... that lady who healed my back pain occasionally comes in.”
“What!? She comes here?”
“Yes, once a month. She should be coming around this time of the month—”
“Hello.”
““““Huh!?””””
““Huh!?””
Right in the middle of Nao’s sentence, the woman who healed her back walked into the shop... Yes, it was Her Majesty the Queen, in disguise.
“Joan? Huh? Lady Lindsay, and Lord Will too? Why?”
“Actually, I should be asking that, Amy.”
“Well, because you can only get Eastern ingredients here…”
“Joan, let’s just buy what we came for quickly. If we chat here, we’ll get in the shop’s way. Amy, you too.”
“”Yes!””
I bought glutinous rice, red beans, cinnamon, and the spices I needed for curry: turmeric, coriander, cumin, and chili powder, then stepped outside. After a short while, Her Majesty and her attendant for the day, Suzy, also came outside. Apparently, whenever she goes out incognito, Suzy, who has storage magic, accompanies her.
“Well, we can’t exactly go have tea somewhere careless, so let’s head back to the estate. Joan, could you go ahead and tell Martha?”
“Yes. Amy, see you later.” Poof
“This way, please. We have a carriage waiting.”
“Thank you, Lady Lindsay.”

—Lampail family estate in the royal capital, courtyard.
Poof
“Ahh~ Jwoan! Paawyuu!”
“Hmm? Ah, Little Ali. Hello.”
“Hi~!”
The one who came up to me was Alice, the two-year-old daughter of Mr. Abe and Suzy. Apparently, now that she can run around, Mr. Abe was saying it’s hard to keep up with her.
When Mr. Abe has a day off, they use the transfer gate to come to the Lampail estate and play with our twins and Pearl. So she knows me too, and we’re close friends.
“Alice—where are you—?”
“Ali, your dad is looking for you, you know?”
“Ehehe, it’s a secwet! Don tell him, okway?”
Saying that, Alice ducked her head into a nearby bush—but her diapered, fluffy butt was sticking out completely. Just like the saying: hiding your head but not your butt. And to top it off, she was wiggling her butt side to side... All jiggly.
“Pfft...”
(Joan, don’t laugh at that.)
“Aliiiice... Hm? Missy? Why are you here again? I heard you went shopping?”
“Ah, shoot. I ran into Her Majesty and Suzy just now, and since they’re coming here, I was supposed to tell Martha.”
Rustle rustle “Mama, coming?”
“Ah, Alice. There you are. Ahh, your face is all muddy. Let’s clean you up before your mom gets here. Missy, you go see Martha too.”
“Y-Yeah.”
Once I told Liam and Martha what happened, they were surprised, but they recovered immediately and sprang into action. All the servants were mobilized for preparations, and right before the guests arrived, everything was ready.
Liam and Martha really are amazing.
To have everything ready in the blink of an eye...
Her Majesty was shown to the living room and served tea. After that, the maids left. With permission from my grandfather and grandmother, Her Majesty used a magic device for soundproofing.
“It’s been a while, Your Majesty.”
“Truly. Oh, Joan, happy birthday. …Did you tell them?”
“Oh, about last year? I told everyone. But more than that, they were shocked about my mental age...”
“Eh? What do you mean?”
“Joan, it’s faster if you just show them.”
“Yes, Grandmother. Search Open.”

““Huh? In her 20s?””
The staff in the capital hadn’t been told yet, and even Suzy looked shocked.
“Yep. I’ve gotten younger.”
“‘Gotten younger’ you say... Joan...”
“Oh, and I got a new skill too.”
“Huh? Why?”
“For my birthday.”
“From who?”
“Assist.”
“Whaaa!? Why!? I’ve never gotten anything!”
“Eh? Really? I wonder why?”
“Well, whatever. So, what skill?”
“You’re okay with that... Uh, it’s Animal Talk.”
“What’s that?”
“I can talk to animals I touch.”
“For real!? That’s like that animal guy on TV!”
“No, no, he can’t actually talk to animals, he just imagines it.”
“Oh, right. But still, that’s so cool. So how many do you have now?”
“Now? Nine.”
“Whoa! As expected of the outlier!!” Clap clap clap
“No need to clap!”
“Ehehe.”
“Wahaha!”
While chatting casually with Her Majesty like always, Grandfather and Grandmother suddenly burst into laughter.
Ah—crap.
I completely forgot about Grandfather and Grandmother ...
Her Majesty definitely forgot too. She looks super flustered now after being startled by the laughter.
“A-Ah, my apologies.”
“Oh my, Your Majesty, no need to apologize. We were laughing because the two of you get along so well. Joan told us you knew each other in your previous lives, but we’ve never seen you two chat so lively like this.”
“That’s right. Only those of us here know about your past lives and your relationship.”
“Thank you, Lord Will, Lady Lindsay.”
