Reincarnated as an Overly Timid Countess

I locked the top of his head with magic power!

Eat this, Shining Whirlwind, a combined magic of light and wind!

A whirlwind appeared out of nowhere and gathered around the nasty nobleman.

Then, while shining brightly, it caused what was on top of his head to float.

The scene was somehow divine, and the surrounding nobles gasped.

The shining breeze carried the fluffy object away out of the window.

「What a worthless thing to let fly.」

The Count, with his mouth open wide, and the mean nobleman, with his shiny crown, were kneeling on the floor. Then…

「Bwahaha….」

Shar blurted out beside me. 

The sudden change on Count Mercure, who had been expressionless for a long time, caused a buzz around.

「Ram, I’m glad to see your magic again.」

Hearing Shar’s words, the nobles looked at me with jittery looks.

「Yes, was that magic by the Countess?」

Shar managed to nod calmly toward the Count.

「Ahh, Ram is an excellent magician. So, what’s the deal with someone more suitable to be my wife than her?」

「Hiccup…」

「No. That-That’s…」

The two noblemen mumbled excuses and fled.

For some reason, not only Shar, but also I seemed threatening to them.

(I just blew a wig off.)

Perhaps magic is not that familiar to people in this day and age? I’ve been reincarnated in a ridiculous place.

I sighed as I looked up at the huge chandelier that asserted its presence above my head.

「Ram, His Majesty has summoned me, so I’ll be away for a while. I’ll be right back.」

「Don’t mind me.」

「You may be fine, but … be careful. Try to stay in crowded places.」

Why is he looking at me with such concern?

You were never interested in Ram.

(Oh well.)

I’ll take this opportunity to attempt to study modern magic standing and common sense.

A social gathering is also a great place to gather information.

(The Mercure family is not helpful because they seem out of touch with the world.)

Shar and Kanon, as well as Hue, who seems to be the most sane, are probably strange.

Although I was able to hear from the servants about the circumstances of the common people, it was quite difficult to learn about current affairs and magic.

(Sometimes the truth is far different from the information circulating in the world.)

I believe I could ferret out something here, near the center of the city.

There was no harvest to speak of.

On Ram’s first foray into the social scene, it turned into a huge disaster.

There, she behaved wrongly and was dressed down from all sides.

The nobleman from earlier seemed to have changed his view of me, but I could still feel his hostile gaze on me.

Most of all, it was the crowd of ladies who wouldn’t stop whispering.

Last time, those ladies snubbed Ram, and she ran away without fighting back.

That was probably why they got a taste of it.

(I think with the use of magic…they’re nothing to be feared.)
