Chapter 18

" 'Did I do something wrong? Why did she..'


Ibelin's expression changed so quickly that I can't be sure if I saw that right. I couldn't properly recall it so I decided to forget about that split second. After meeting Ibelin and her three fish, I returned to my residence. 'Today was a busy day. I'm amazed that I got to meet all three male characters. Today will be "Fish day" from now on!!'


"Miss!"


"Oh.. Esula?"


"You're just in time. Everyone is waiting for you!!"


"Waiting for me?"


'I wonder what's going on.. Why are they waiting for me?'


Meanwhile in the meeting room.. The screen shows everyone in the building talking about Latte. 'Huh? This is the way to the meeting room. Wait meeting room? They're having a discussion while waiting for me? Wait just a moment.' Now the screen switches to an anime Latte. "My name is Latte Ectrie. A noble"


Latter Ectrie is the daughter of a distinguished noble. She's never dated anyone for 18 years meaning... "


"Wait are they going to marry her off?"


Rosaline asked, knowing what it is like to have to have to consider arranged marriages. With the question Esula gets PTSD from the meeting remembering how stressed Latte is finally understanding how Latte may think that way.


" "My lord, the young miss is back."


'18..? Wait.. don't tell me..'


"Latte"


'ARGH!! Doesn't father look a bit too serious?!' Even mother is here? If my suspicion.. No, theory is right it means..! She's clearly uncomfortable!! I knew it there're here to talk about my MARRIAGE!!'


"Sit here. I have something I need to discuss with you"


'That's it I know what is coming!!!' Latte is shown staring in fear.


"We wanted to.."


'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'


"Know how you felt about opening popcorn business."


"I won't accept an arranged mar- what? Huh?"


Latte is shown embarrassed.


"What did you just say?"


"No, it's nothing. I didn't say anything yep, nothing at all!"


Latte is shown blushing like a maiden. "


'She is so cute when she is flustered. WAIT WHAT AM. I. THINKING.'


Arwin looked on at the screen discovering things about his emotions he didn't know existed.


" 'I'm not going to be able to sleep for a week.'


"We were discussing some business ideas with the popcorn snack you came up with. I heard that it's quite simple to cook."


'Business? Is popcorn profitable? It might be'


Popcorn with anime faces on pop up.


"We can start as a small cart first. If it gets popular. We can think about opening a shop..."


"Sounds good!"


'If it goes well, we might end up earning millions!'


"Latte what are you doing?"


'After living twice, I've learned that money is always right. Cash rules! Judging by their faces, they're all investing in this. Well. It's good to get rich together.' 


"By the way father. You're already home from work?"


"I'm on a paid leave. Anyway since you agree we should hurry and start the business."


"Aha." "


"What is with her and money?"


Kenneth asked.


"Well, money is what makes the world go round. You would know that if you ever were poor."


Cano spoke like she ever was poor.


"But, she is not poor nor are you..?"


"She was reincarnated??? And a teacher." (Teachers deserve a higher pay check)


" "The head butler will manage trading since he ahs some experience.."


'Gee look at mom's face she must be worried' Latte is shown sweating.


"Mom!"


'I'm richer than you think! Even if this fails I'll be able to cover this okay?'


"Don't worry!"


'Even my mom ignored me.. This is going to become a habit' Latte is shown in what looks like a permanent wink. 'I should be careful not to wink at Kenneth or he might just cut my throat.'


"We will have to buy some corn.. After cooking it blablablablabla... rabble rabble..."


'Did I walk too much today? I'm so sleepy.'  "


"Wow what a business woman. Way to stay on task."


Arwin spoke clearly really impressed on her ability to stay on topic.


" 'Are you also an investor?'


"Are we going to be rich now?"


"We'll have to wait and see but I think we will be"


"Hehe! I hope so."


"Me too."


I headed to my room while chatting with Esula. Oh right I need to go for a walk. The cream dish I  had today with Ibelin at the restaurant was a marvelous concoction of rich and savory flavors. That's why I need to take a walk.. 'I hate that this world forces women to have waists as thin as ants. gee noble culture...' "


"That does suck!"


Ibelin and Rosaline chimed in on this matter. 


"Why do we have to have thin waists while males get to look however they want??"


Cano adds on.


" Now the screen shows Latte rolling in her bed happily.


"KYAA!! The bed feels so nice!"


'Oh! Right!!! I almost forgot!' Latte is shown circling 21 on the calendar. 'I have to record a day like this! Aww... Today was really the best! Kenneth! Rondemio and even Arwin! Today is in celebration the appearance of all rare fish. No, wait! Today is foundation day!'


Mermen Kenneth, Rondemio and Arwin is shown. "


"GOD"


"PLEASE"


"NOOOOOOOO"


Kenneth, Rondemio and Arwin shout out, sick and tired of this fish theme.


" To be continued.."


"I swear if I see myself in merman form one. more. time."


Kenneth said more tired of this than anyone else.
