Rosetta-sama, You're Overdoing It! - Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Rosetta’s Daily Duties

On that day, I read books, had meals, took a bath, and returned to my room.

I just can’t seem to get used to noble cuisine.

It’s not that it tastes bad or anything. But as a former Japanese, it feels a bit lacking, bland, like there could be something more.

It’s not like it’s a high-end restaurant, so having such a limited selection for each dish seems a bit off to me.

And there’s no rice.

Bread alone won’t cut it.

Where’s the miso soup? The curry rice? The hamburger steak?

Isn’t ramen the perfect late-night meal? Gyoza, fried rice, beef bowl, oyakodon, seafood bowl.

Ah, just thinking about it makes me crave it.

At the very least, some fried eggs.

No eggs at all? Come on, at least eggs!

Maybe raw eggs wouldn’t work, but why are there no cooked eggs!

Revolution. We need a revolution.

Reforming the food culture is urgent!

And then there’s the bath.

Despite having a bath, where’s the soap? The body wash? The shampoo!? Essential oils alone won’t cut it!

It’s like I’m missing everything that was part of daily life in Japan.

I have to do something about this…

I know! Let’s start a business!

I’ve got it! If there’s no cake, why not have pancakes instead?

Yes, if it’s not there, then I’ll just have to make it myself!!

Oh, but is it okay to introduce modern tools in this other world?

Well, it’s a world that’s somewhat modernized, so it should be fine to a certain extent.

Alright, before starting the business, I need to research what’s necessary. Things like what to avoid, the unwritten rules, individuals to watch out for, etc. Information is crucial.

Hey, Lionetta, I’m thinking of starting a business. Do you have any materials or information on this?

Actually, instead of relying on Lionetta, it’s better to go to the commercial guild myself to inquire.

While I’m at it, I might as well visit other key places like the adventurers’ guild, the church, and so on.

I’ll ask Lionetta to pick out the places we should head to.

After finishing dinner and taking a bath, I return to my desk.

Now, I need to think about what I should do next.

Let’s pick out what to do throughout the day.

First, in the morning. From waking up until breakfast.

Hmm… I should do radio exercises, go for a run.

And then exercise until mealtime. Sometimes take a bath? A morning bath feels good.

In the morning until noon, it’s all about exercise.

Although I’ve allocated free time, I’ll include weapon training and martial arts as well. I’ve been doing these in the afternoon, but perhaps I should shift them to the morning. Yeah, I should learn techniques that are useful beyond groin attacks.

Since I don’t know what will come in handy, let’s cover a variety of sports. Starting with boxing might be a good idea. Maybe I’ll begin with shadow boxing. But then Lionetta will give me that disapproving look again. Oh, my heart is pounding just thinking about it. Oops, her disapproval seems to be turning into pleasure. That’s dangerous, dangerous. I’m not some villainous pervert.

From noon to evening, it’s reading and magic training.

But I feel like Lionetta might interfere with the magic training. I need to come up with a plan.

Should I consult Father? But he might end up banning magic altogether.

Should I head out into the field? No, maybe I’ll hire a private tutor instead? Once Lionetta learns the required magic power and how to make magic disappear halfway, she might not impose any bans.

Anyway, let’s plan to do various things during this afternoon to evening time tomorrow.

So, Lionetta, I’ll count on you.

From the evening until bath time, it’s relaxation time. I’ll relax with Lionetta until Father and the others finish their bath. Keeping this time slot open is for emergencies when plans go awry due to unexpected visitors or other disruptions.

After the bath, I write in my diary like this.

I reflect on various things, plan my actions for tomorrow.

Hehe, it’s become a routine from my OL days, planning my actions before bed.

From work to developing subordinates to dealing with irregular troubles, I make various decisions and allow time for flexibility, so I can think and strategize in case of emergencies.

During free time, I’ve practiced swordsmanship, aikido, Chinese martial arts, and even danced. I’ve also dabbled in online shopping. Once, when there was a shortage of nurses at the hospital where I was washing corpses, I was taken to the operating room to assist with surgery.

But I couldn’t get into stocks. I just couldn’t grasp that system at all.

After losing about 3 million yen in my first attempt at FX trading, I stopped doing anything related to it altogether. FX and stocks are too risky. I was being too reckless.

At one point, I got really into music and did various things. I remember causing problems at work because I ignored my strategies during that time, so I started planning before bed. Thanks to that, I learned a wide range of music, from children’s folk songs to enka. For Western music, I focused on classical music and worked hard to play the piano.

Come to think of it, I wonder what the music scene is like in this world? I should probably look into that. I need to find out what kinds of instruments there are and what kinds of music are popular.

Um, what else was there?

Anyway, I guess that’s it for today?

I should also consider visiting important facilities tomorrow.

I should probably think about what to do in a week or a month too. Well, I can do that tomorrow.

Back in my OL days, I could stay up later thinking about things like this, but just thinking about it now makes me sleepy…

Children need to sleep well. Good food, plenty of play, and good sleep. That’s the secret to healthy children.

So, goodnight.
