Big Parade of Dolls

 

 

「Umm, frog purse and frog doll, I’m completely satisfied with the results! Alfried-dono was the one who came up with the design, so could you think of its name?」

「Then, please name it Gekota purse and Gekota doll. All the frogs we made are named Gekota after all」

「Hou, ‘Gekota’, huh? That’s not a bad name! From now on you are called Gekota!」

Viscount Dole raises the Gekota doll as though he was celebrating the birth of his own child.

「By the way Alfried-dono. May I present these to a noble I know as a gift? Among the nobles that I’m on good terms with, there is someone with a daughter that likes dolls」

「Of course, I don’t mind」

It really sounds like Viscount Dole not wanting to sell this or commercialize these dolls to make a profit.

He would probably give Gekota to someone to those who genuinely like dolls or to spread the love for dolls to others.

「Thank you. Come to think of it,  I still had not given any doll to Alfried-dono yet. I have some of the dolls I made that I’m pleased with me. Would you please accept them?」

「Really! Thank you very much! I will gladly accept them」

And as expected, it looks like Viscount Dole brought some dolls from his territory. Looking at the quality of Knight and Elizabeth, I can expect the same splendor in those dolls.

I will certainly take what I can get. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「That’s good to hear! Bastian! Bring all the dolls in the carriage!」

「A, all of them?」

When Viscount Dole shouts so, Bastian - guess he was standing by in the hallway - nervously shows himself and asked.

「Just do it! Bring them here quickly!」

「Understood」

Bastian hurriedly left the room after Viscount Dole told him that.

I caught Bastian’s twitching expression and words, but oh well, whatever.

I’m looking forward to what kind of dolls he will bring here.

While waiting for Bastian to bring the dolls here, I looked toward Tickle’s direction, and there, I saw Mina with a posture of leaning forward and about to fall.

「Mina-san, please lean a bit more」

「I, it’s impossible to lean, a bit more! I will fall!」

「It’s fine to fall, so please! If anything, I want to see you just before you fall!」

「Eehhh! Do you hate me Tickle-san!? Did I do something to make you hate me!?」

「This is for the doll. The doll.......」

It seems like they’re not on the same wavelength somehow, but it looks to be fun so I guess there’s no problem with it.

「I brought the dolls」

Just when I was staring at Tickle and Mina, Bastian enter the room and put a bag down. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Ooh, so the dolls are here――」

「I brought the dolls」

As I was surprised at the big bag he brought, Viscount Dole’s maid - another maid Viscount Dole bring with him - brought a new bag inside.

Even though the previous bag was quite big enough already, there were two of them this time. I got quite a lot of dolls this time. It looks like it could fill my bed with dolls at this――

「I brought the dolls」

「I brought the dolls」

「I brought the dolls」

「Wait a moment, isn’t this too much! Sara!」

Sara was mixed in among the maids that calmly brought the dolls into my room so I reflexively question her.

「Yes, the dolls’ amount is the size of one carriage so there are some left」

「Uh-huh, I brought them all from my territory for Alfried-dono!」

Viscount Dole added while he smiles as if to add to Sara’s explanation.

In the meantime, the maids are continuously bringing dolls into my room, so the inside of my room is now becoming more and more cramped.

When I try to look inside one bag, there are a lot of dolls inside like cute bears, horses, cows, rabbits, Knight with different colors, and Elizabeth with different clothing.

This won’t fill my bed to the brim anymore. This will fill my whole room with dolls.

I never thought I would receive this many dolls. Furthermore, there are still bags of dolls coming in.

For now, I take out the dolls and cast Psychic on all of the dolls since my room will be completely filled with dolls if bags of dolls continue to be brought in. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Oooh! It’s a big parade of dolls!」

Seeing the dolls move and walk on their own, Viscount Dole looks at them with sparkling eyes.

Certainly, the sight of me controlling dozens of dolls can be said to be just like a big parade of dolls.

「Hahaha, if I have this many dolls, it looks like I can make a play using these dolls」

「……Alfried-dono, what was that you said?」

「You move a lot of dolls, then use Wind magic from a distance to carry your voice to the dolls, thus it’s going to be an impressive puppet show」

There were also puppet shows in my previous life. They use threads from above toward the stage under and move the dolls. Even so, it worked well. If you move them freely with Psychic and use Wind magic to send out your voice to the dolls like the Dragon Slayer play back then, it would seem like the dolls are moving and talking by themselves.

It’s going to be functioning well enough as puppet shows.

When I mutter something like that, Viscount Dole stands up enthusiastically and shouts.

「That’s it! That will definitely be the happy world where there are only dolls that I wanted to see! Alfried-dono, do you have paper and a pen?!」

「I have them」

Despite being surprised by Viscount Dole’s terribly excited appearance, I give him the paper and pen I take out from the table drawer.

And, when Viscount Dole was about to sit, www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Muu, this doesn’t suit me」

That’s understandable. That’s a table and chair for a seven-year-old kid after all.

「I’m sorry, Alfried-dono. I will be going back to the lounge to write the scenario for the play. Please give me some time alone」

「Understood」

And after I reply like that, Viscount Dole left the room in a flash.

Rinalia-san and Yuria-san, then Earl Melna, and some other nobles have come and stayed here in the past, but I feel like this person is the freest among them all.

◆

When Viscount Dole is no longer here, I start to sort out the dolls being brought to my room.

And as expected, it’s impossible to put a carriage’s worth of dolls inside my room alone. It’s not like it’s impossible, but I will then have no space for myself.

And because of that, I decided to move the dolls - besides some bags of dolls - into an empty room, one after another.

「Hey, it’s been so noisy since a while ago, did Viscount Dole――uwaa, what is this」

Just when I was sorting the dolls and moving them to an empty room on the second floor, Eleonora-neesan came in and made a surprised face seeing the state of the room.

It’s reasonable for Eleonora-neesan to be surprised. Inside the empty room, it was now turned into a fairytale-like room that was covered with dolls. It would be even more complete if there were pink carpet and bed and also other furniture in the room.

(Something like this?)

 

「These are souvenirs from Viscount Dole」

「All of them?」

「……un」

I thought I might just get a doll but, even I didn’t expect that I will receive dolls that can fill the entire room.

「It’s too much for me alone, would you like to bring some Eleonora-neesan?」

「……right, then I will get some」

I tried saying that half-jokingly but, Eleonora-neesan surprisingly replied like that.

「Eeh?」

「What’s with that response, now? I can take some dolls with me, right?」

「Of course, no problem」

What the hell happened to Eleonora-neesan - who doesn’t have a shred of femininity - wanting some dolls for herself?

As I stare at her with an amazed look, Eleonora-neesan takes out Knight and Elizabeth dolls with different colors from the mountain of dolls. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Hohou, did she realize the goodness again after I showed her the moving dolls before?

「I’m telling you first, but the dolls will not be able to move without magic, alright?」

「Hm! I know already, that much! These two, I’m taking them」

Maybe I guessed correctly what she was thinking that Eleonora-neesan got embarrassed, she left the room with the dolls while becoming red in the face. w
