Chapter 60:Ā Frog Mask and Squirrel Mask
<hr>
Ā
[What to do, Britney? It seems that sheās looking for you.]
Ā
Nora lowly whispered so to me, but I decided to avoid it.
Anyway, I would receive a summon later.
Ā
[Iām going to greet His Highness Prince Marlow first. If I get caught by the princess, I may not get released.]
Ā
While saying such, I approached the person wearing frog mask to greet him.
As I thought, heās the crown prince.
Weaving my way between people, I got close to him with Nora.
When I came near the crown prince to give my greetings, Ricardo noticed me first. I was walking while talking with Nora, so perhaps he knew it from my voice.
Ā
[Britney and Miss Nora right?]
[Un. Youāre Ricardo are you not? Your squirrel mask is cute.]
[Donāt say thatā¦ since the masks are distributed randomly, this is not my preference.]
Ā
While talking to Ricardo, Prince Marlow also reacted.
Ā
[Britney? Youāre really Britney! Long time no see, I wanted to meet you!]
[Yes, itās been a long time, Your Highness. You seem healthy as usual.]
[Aa, Iām glad you came! What do you think of the masks? I designed everything myself.]
[Truly, Your Highness has excellent taste in arts.]
Ā
I thought that the designing of the masks was skillful enough to make craftsmen embarrassed.
He seemed to see no point in talking about my figure.
Ā
[Today, even though itās a masked party, itās a carefree gathering held at noon. Itās been explained that itās not particularly difficult and itās informal.]
[Your Highness, why do you choose the frog mask?]
[N, I think itās cute? I think that its round eyes are satisfactory workmanship.]
[ā¦E, ee, thatās true.]
[I think that Britneyās mask is also charming. While Ricardoās mask resemble himself.]
Ā
Certainly, Ricardo was an upright and sweet personā¦ though the person in question rejected that line of thought.
Ā
[Which, which part of me resemble a squirrelā¦!?]
[That right there, Ricardo. That is also your strength, you can be proud of it.]
Ā
Ricardo couldnāt argue against the crown princeās words. His Highness the crown prince had a distinctive sensibility, but apart from that, he had a charm that naturally attraced people.
While I felt resentment towards my loose-tongued cousin, a bomb was dropped by him.
Fortunately, the surrounding participants seemed to think that itās his usual joke, and he himself did not show any reaction in particular.
Ā
[To a countryside lady like me, the load is too heavy, gufufu.]
Ā
Here also, I replied with a joke.
Ā
(Eh, thatās weird. Even though I lost weight, the way I laugh hasnāt changed.)
Ā
Whether it was because of the power of the original manga or not, I couldnāt laugh cutely like āufufuā.
Ā
[Hahaha, I thought that if itās someone excellent like Britney then there will be no problem. Maa, letās leave that story for later. I have a job of walking around the venue, so Iāll leave you to Ricardo.]
Ā
The frog mask wearing crown prince, with his swaying light gold hair, easily left.
Ā
[Really, such a my own pace person.]
Ā
I agreed with Ricardoās impression. The crown prince Marlowās character was indeed quite peculiar.
Ā
[Ricardo, do you get along well with His Highness?]
[Aa. In the past, I was introduced through Ryuze, and weāve been getting along since I came to the capital city.]
Ā
That felt like a highway towards becoming his follower.
Ricardo would play an active role in the capital city according to the original manga.

TN: Personally I ship Britney with the prince. She deserves to be the queen.
