I Was Just Having Fun With The Time Limit – Chapter 100

Chapter 100

The person who came to see me in the morning was Yuri-unni.

“Good morning, Your Highness.”

Yuri-unni tidied up my bed with skillful hands.

“Are you going to wash up now?”

“Yes.”

Yuri-unni took care of me so well that she could be called a professional now.

“I’ll be sure to wash your hair today. Please sit down.”

“……Alright.”

Yuri-unni was also an expert at washing my hair.

She skillfully lathered it up and pressed her fingers into my head.

To be honest, these things were burdensome at first.

I could wash my face by myself, and it was more comfortable for me to wash my hair myself.

But humans were creatures of adaptation.

It was still burdensome, but I became addicted to Yuri-unni’s scalp massage.

Besides, Yuri-unni started to handle the water spirit at some point.

“Help me, Bangwool.”

The name of the lower spirit Yuri-unni handles is Bangwool.

It’s named Bangwool after a water droplet.

Bangwool looked like a very small fairy.

As Bangwool wrapped around my head once, the bubbles were washed away.

The strange thing was that it didn’t splash on my body at all.

‘It feels really good.’

I’m used to this new civilization（?） now. My hair gets clean by itself even if I stay still.

The more surprising fact was that I didn’t have to dry my hair separately.

Because this water itself is spirit water, the spirit can get rid of it whenever it wants.

“It’s all fluffy now.”

“Please sit here. I’ll comb your hair.”

“Okay.”

Yuri-unni really enjoyed the time she combed my hair.

She said she liked being able to talk about this and that with me, but I wasn’t sure if she was saying that because I was a princess or because we had become friends.

I thought it would be nice if it was because we became friends.

“I still can’t match Ruruka-yumo-nim’s skills, can I?”

“No. Yuri, you’ve improved a lot. I’m always grateful.”

“Don’t mention it. It’s my job.”

Swish- Swish━━━

I felt a little like a doll.

“All done.”

Yuri-unni also fixed my clothes.

There was a slight stain on my dress, but Bangwool took care of it.

“The clothes smell good.”

“It’s a scent made from ingredients extracted from Hyamin leaves. Do you like it?”

“Yes. I like it very much.”

It smelled like a moist forest.

“You didn’t just extract the scent from Hyamin leaf fragrance, did you?”

“That’s right.”

I sniffed the scent.

My nostrils flared.

But I couldn’t figure out everything just by smelling it.

When I became curious, Yuri-unni began to open her mouth and pour out interesting stories.

“I mixed Hyamin leaves with Paragontyl purified water, and then used the Berker extraction method. I collected the gas that evaporates at 140 degrees Celsius, distilled it again……and……did that. Also, through the Enfleurage method……”

“Wow! So you evaporated all the solvent and extracted only the oil to synthesize it?”

“That’s right!”

I don’t know why, but I clapped with Yuri-unni.

Clap! It made a sound.

It felt like our hearts connected.

‘This is what a conversation is!’

We had much more informative and enjoyable conversations than the boring conversations with Reina.

But then I heard a fake cough next to me.

“Viaton-seonsaengnim? When did you come?”

“I came earlier. You told me to come in directly.”

“Did I?”

I didn’t remember. I think I was too focused on talking to Yuri-unni.

“Do you enjoy that kind of talk so much?”

“Yes. Seonsaengnim, don’t you find it interesting?”

“……Well, it’s interesting.”

“Lies. You have a boring expression on your face.”

“Did it show?”

“Yes.”

It was strange that something so interesting was boring, but I could understand.

People have preferences, and I’m a child who knows how to respect them.

“But I’m going to try to look interested now.”

“……Yes? Can you do that?”

“Yes, I can.”

I wondered if he could really do that, but I didn’t actively stop him.

It’s good to have more people to talk to about the same interests!

“But, Your Highness. I think we’re going to have some free time.”

“Why?”

“There was a problem while the King of Jirdel was returning.”

“Pr, problem?”

“Yes. The Transfer Gate we were using broke down at this time, of all times. So he’s coming back by land, and it looks like it’s going to take about three to four days longer than scheduled.”

But Viaton-seonsaengnim’s expression was strangely suspicious.

“……It broke down at this time, of all times?”

“Yeah. It broke down at this time, of all times. Hahaha! If we had used much more efficient technology like the TeyIsabel Transfer Gate, this wouldn’t have happened. Right? Hahaha!”

“……Was that why Dad, no, Mabu-nim moved separately?”

“It will be an opportunity to realize the importance of the TeyIsabel Transfer Gate once again. Haha!”

Viaton-seonsaengnim’s smile was somehow awkward.

“It……really broke down by chance, right?”

“Of course! It must have broken down by chance. It seems like the heavens are helping us. At this rate, wouldn’t it be inevitable? Hahaha!”

Viaton-seonsaengnim was talking a lot more than usual.

✦✦✦✦✦✦

Thanks to the three days of free time, I left the dorm with Michael-oppa.

Our destination was the Base Camp where the Third Prince, Kaman, was training.

Michael was unusually silent.

“Are you nervous?”

“Nervous? Me? Did you say I was nervous?”

Michael-oppa laughed loudly, but he looked nervous.

Very much so.

“If you’re that nervous, you don’t have to duel with Kaman-orabeoni.”

“I’m not nervous at all. I’m going to defeat that devil today.”

“……Devil?”

“Yes. He’s a devil with no blood or tears.”

The Third Prince Kaman I know is not like that. The Kaman I know is a pitiful and pathetic person……?

“Do you have to fight? Can’t you get along?”

“What are you talking about? My brother and I get along very well.”

“You just called him a devil.”

“That’s a compliment, isn’t it?”

How is that a compliment?!

I wanted to argue for a moment, but I couldn’t.

It was probably a compliment like, ‘He’s a strong brother with no blood or tears, and he’s very tough!’

“You said you were going to fight.”

“That’s how we’re close.”

“That’s how you’re close?”

“I’m still alive, aren’t I?”

We fought a lot. → But I’m still alive. → If we weren’t close, I would have killed him. → So we’re close. → We get along well.

……That was the logic.

Michael looked at me as if I was asking something obvious.

I stopped thinking logically.

‘Yeah. Since when was he a logical brother?’

Anyway, Michael seemed to have relaxed quite a bit.

We arrived at the entrance of the Base Camp.

Two knights in uniform were guarding the entrance.

‘Wow……!’

I couldn’t help but admire the knights’ majestic appearance.

Seeing that there were so many cool people like that on the streets, this place must be another world.

Just standing at the entrance, it was a picture in itself.

Oppa tried to enter through the entrance confidently.

“This is a restricted area for outsiders.”

“I’m not an outsider. I’m Prince Michael. Don’t you know me?”

“I know. But an outsider is an outsider. Do you have an ID card?”

“No!”

“Then you can’t go in.”

“We shared chocolate last time.”

“Didn’t you force it into my mouth?”

“I’ve been here and back over 100 times.”

“Of those 16 times, you broke through when I was on guard. Thanks to you, I wrote 16 incident reports.”

He even remembered the specific number 16.

‘Oh my god……’

It was obvious that the knight didn’t like my brother. Rather, he seemed to dislike him very much.

The knight’s expression was filled with determination.

He shall not be breached this time!

“This time, I will stop you even if I have to draw my sword, Your Highness.”

“Oh, that’s a good idea.”

Michael had no thoughts today, either.

Without considering the context of the situation, Michael was the type to get excited if someone drew their sword.

“Oppa. You can’t make things difficult for the knight who is dedicating himself to the empire.”

“We’re trying to build camaraderie.”

Oppa, who had already drawn his sword, was smiling brightly. He was definitely enjoying it.

“That’s what’s making it difficult.”

I approached him and bowed slightly.

“Shield of the Empire, I express my gratitude for your dedication.”

It was the official way to greet a knight of the empire.

Actually, this was the normal way to approach them.

The knight replied in a very common-sense way and saluted me.

“Greetings to the Spring of the Imperial Family.”

Spring again. It’s the beginning of winter now.

Is there an imperial language I don’t know yet?

Anyway, it wasn’t important, so I decided to move on.

“How can I enter normally?”

But then I heard an unexpected answer.

“Your Highness, you can enter.”

“……Yes?”

The knight took something out of his pocket.

‘Wh, what’s that?’
