Rosetta-sama, You're Overdoing It! - Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Rosetta Starts Rigorous Training

Returning to the noble district, I head to the clothing store.

It seems like they’ve managed to come up with something decent.

I requested clothes that are easy to move in, but I wonder how they turned out.

I’m led to the fitting room to change.

I can’t change by myself.

After all, I am a noble.

Even if I want to change, someone forcibly dresses me.

It’s not right. I want to say that it’s not done like this as I awkwardly have the dress removed.

Are they not used to this? Oh, they must have been confused because there was no corset.

It seems like the member in charge of the corset should have been there.

Gym clothes and bloomers. Yes, bloomers. Even though recently it’s been forbidden for students to wear them, this was originally attire for women to exercise in. It’s like the Equal Employment Opportunity Law for women to have the opportunity to exercise where men do… well, it’s different, but it was meant to provide women with a place to exercise. In other words, it contributed to the women’s liberation movement, yet in recent years, it’s been rejected and seen as degrading to women. Bloomers were liberated but then rejected. It’s quite pitiful.

You hardly see them around these days, but you occasionally spot them in games or anime.

There used to be a company making them for television, so they’re still around, but now they’re mainly used for cosplay.

“U-um, Miss Rosetta, isn’t this a bit indecent?”

“Where?”

I place my hands on my hips and stand tall.

The attire is a gym uniform, and the lower half is bloomers to cover up.

This is the formal attire that races through the battlegrounds of women. Even if lately it’s just seen as something to stimulate the desires of old men, it’s clothing that carries on the will of Madame Bloomer, developed for women to exercise. It contributes to the advancement of women’s status. I am firmly on Team Bloomer!! By the way, Madame Bloomer seems to have had little to do with it. What’s up with that!?

“Oh, did they also make a headband for you?”

With a red headband on, I look like a student ready to participate in a sports festival. My appearance resembles that of a foreign lady. It’s fine for foreigners to be at a sports festival.

I’m gonna run, I’m gonna jump, I’m gonna throw stuff!!

“Miss Rosetta, please never wear this outside.”

“Why not!?”

For some reason, gym clothes are banned.

I was told it’s okay to wear them within the premises of the house, but it seems like I’ll get scolded if I wear this outside. Why?

It’s not indecent, it’s about women’s advancement in society, isn’t it strange?

Once I got home, I quickly changed into gym clothes and ran around the garden.

Wow, it’s much easier to run in this than in a dress. It’s more comfortable than adventurer’s attire.

Yeah! This is it! This is the feeling I’ve been looking for!

But just running continuously is tough and gets boring, so I do somersaults in the middle, no, what was it called? The one where you do a somersault while keeping your body straight.

Sometimes I try cartwheels, oh, it’s called a cartwheel… was it?

It’s nice how exercising makes your body movements more complex.

Why didn’t I run like this in my past life?

Oh, right, I didn’t have the time or the place.

Basically, I always felt embarrassed to be seen by others. Maybe because I was the office lady, I was afraid of breaking that image?

There are hardly any people here, right? Just the maids. Sometimes the butler gives me a disapproving look.

The gardener guy over there looks at me and awkwardly averts his gaze. It’s not indecent, those guys who look at me like that are the pervs. Blaming it on others.

Alright, no need to hold back, I’m gonna run around. Let the stares be torn apart by the wind.

After finishing the morning exercise, it’s time for a meal. It’s already lunchtime. Time flies when you’re busy in the morning.

In the afternoon, I read books as a way to relax and educate myself.

I’m mastering magic while reading spellbooks. But it seems that basic magic is all about intent, so with modern knowledge, you can create amazing spells in abundance. Although I refrain from showing them to others, as they would be surprised.

I envelop my entire body with magic. It circulates constantly within me. According to web novels and such, circulating magic within the body enhances physical abilities during reincarnation into another world.

It’s like enhancing physical strength and speed.

Apparently, you can also increase intelligence with magic, but how exactly do you do that?

I can’t imagine what it would be like to have increased intelligence because I wouldn’t be aware of it at all.

If I were to increase my intelligence, would I channel magic into my head?

Yeah, it feels like I’m shaking my head faster now.

See, Lionetta? Faster, faster.

I shake my head vigorously. When I shake it from side to side, Lionetta, who was watching, burst out laughing.

“Miss Rosetta, I think it’s disgusting, so please never do that in public.”

Why not!?

It’s not just that my head shaking speed has been enhanced. It’s the power increase of headbutts!?

When I try it in front of the mirror, shaking my head like that looked creepy.

Even though it’s my own head, I felt it was creepy. This is definitely something to be sealed away.

And then I understood. Even if you channel magic into your head, it only strengthens the muscles in your head, it doesn’t enhance intelligence. What a scam!
