Because I’ve Been Reincarnated As A Girl I Just Want To Do Yuri Things, But Things Aren’t Going Well

would not be able to compete with a well-trained adult opponent.

Even from a distance, the child’s posture was clearly broken, and when they were hit by the spear, they were blown backward and rolled over along the ground.
When the child stopped on her back, Katharina could somehow recognize their face even from the second floor.
And the realization, she gasped.

“La-Lady Flora?”

From a distance, Katharina didn’t think it was a girl because her blond hair was tied up, but when she saw Flora’s face as she collapsed on the ground, Katharina finally realized it was her.

According to her brother, the edges are blunted for practice.
No matter how much the edges of a spear are blunted, however, it will pierce if it is thrust with serious intent, so it is rounded like a stone instead.
Even so, it would hurt if you were stabbed hard enough to knock you off your feet and knocked back, too.

” ”

Still, Flora stood up and readied her sword again.
Over and over again, she slashed at the three adults.
The only combatant standing away from the melee showers Flora with outrageously powerful magic at the most disgusting, unfair times.
As Katharina watched from the second floor, she was angered at how dirty this mage played.

Flora also intercepts the flying barrages with spells of her own while she fights with the other three.
As Katharina saw Flora swinging her sword against them without trying to step back or retreat, Katharina looked up to her brother beside her.

“Big Brother! Why are they doing that to Lady Flora?! Stop it at once!”

However, Helmut quietly shook his head at Katharina’s words, then spoke slowly as if he were admonishing her.

“As far as I know, Miss Flora has been undergoing that training every morning and night since she was 5 years old.
It seems that even before I started serving her, she had devoted herself to martial arts and learning from her tutors.
You’ve seen that too, haven’t you, Katharina?”

Katharina silently nodded at Helmut’s question.
After sneaking a peek at the etiquette class the first time, she and Helmut have peeked into Flora’s other classes.
Katharina knows that they were so advanced she couldn’t keep up with them at all.

“If it’s called manners and etiquette class, I can still understand that!” Katharina said.
“But why is Princess Flora training like this?”

Even if you are in the upper class, you were not born with manners and had to learn them.
Flora’s classes were unusually strict, but that’s still fine.
However, it is completely incomprehensible why Flora, a young child and a woman at that, was swinging her sword against adults.

“Miss Flora is trying to protect the people of the Margraviate of Carruthers, and by extension, the Kingdom of Ploiss,” Helmut said.
“Therefore, she’s learning everything she can and needs to do, such as domestic affairs, military strategy, swordsmanship, and magic.”

It’s not hard to understand what Helmut is trying to say.
However, she couldn’t understand why an 8-year-old girl about the same age as Katharina would think so seriously about her duty.

While they were talking, Flora knocked down the spear, parried one of the swords, and slashed back at the swordsman holding it.
However, though Katharina was sure her opponent’s torso would be slashed open, they barely blocked Flora’s sword.

But even if you block the sword, you can’t kill its momentum.
The opponent who slashed Flora, the one with the most overwhelming difference in both her physique and strength, was her father, Margrave Albert.
The strike from the much-celebrated Hero of the Frontier sends the much lighter Flora flying off by three meters.
And when Flora tried to stand up afterward, Margrave Albert was already in pursuit and slashed at her shoulder.

It seems that today’s training ended there.
Flora dropped her shoulders, stood up, and bowed to the adults.
She seems to be wearing leather armor as protective gear, but it doesn’t cover her shoulders.
To begin with, that leather wasn’t meant to protect Flora, but it was used as a weight so that she could not move properly.
Katharina could not understand Flora at all.

“Miss Flora is often told that ‘Rights come with obligations and responsibilities,’” Helmut said.
“There are many ways to serve the people.
Those who are well versed in domestic affairs have the path of becoming bureaucrats.
Those who excel in martial arts have the path of becoming knights and soldiers.
In all of these paths, Miss Flora takes the initiative in walking all of them at once.”

At her brother’s words… Katharina’s eyes overflowed with tears.
It’s not like she’s pained or sad.
And yet the tears keep flowing.

“Don’t forget that feeling just now…” Helmut said, patting Katharina’s head.

At that, Katharina finally understood why she was crying.

She was neither sad nor happy.
Katharina was frustrated.
She is not a princess because she was born as just a mere noble.
She doesn’t become a princess because she was born as a princess, but because she strives to become a princess.
The flimsy fairy tale princesses are praised just because they are princesses even without going through any effort or trouble.
But the reality is otherwise.

She knew nothing.
She was ashamed of herself for all the people who’d said she was as good as her brother in their studies.
She was only envious and coveting of their royal birth.
She made no effort to be worth the title.

What was Katharina doing while Flora was working day and night? Wasn’t she just admiring and jealous of fairy tale princesses while she was on her bed? There is no way someone like that can become a princess.
She is embarrassed and frustrated that’s who she was.
This feeling is not jealousy of Flora, but the regret of Katharina’s ignorance and selfishness.

“Big Brother… I have a request…” Katharina said.

She looked up at Helmut with a serious expression that he had never seen before, and Helmut shook his head as if he understood completely.

Half a year has passed since Katharina came under the care of Margrave Carruthers.
After about two months, she was able to go outside without worrying about her health, thanks to the food Flora was making for Katharina.
Then, Katharina asked Helmut about the nature of her illness.

If the food is unbalanced, the necessary nutrients will be insufficient, and various problems will appear in the body.
If you improve your diet, you’ll get much better.
Katharina believed that Flora’s theory was correct because she had experienced it herself.

At first, she thought that she was part of the margrave’s family as she was served those luxurious meals, but those were all the dishes Flora created for Katharina’s illness, and until then was she ignorant that the margrave’s usual food was not much different from the spreads of House Royce’s table.

The doctor’s diagnosis said that Katharina was fine, and today she decided to return from the Manor Carruthers to Manor Royce.
Katharina bowed deeply to the people of the House Carruthers who came to see her off.
Then…

“Katharina, we’re friends…” Flora said.
“No, we’re close enough to be sisters at the very least.
Please, come visit again any time.”

Katharina’s chest grew hot when Flora smiled and said those words.
But that would not be possible.
Katharina had already made her mind up then.

“No, Lady Flora,” Katharina said.
“It’d be a shame if you call me your sister.
However, I will definitely return to you someday.”

Katharina holds Flora’s outstretched hands.
Few people know the true appearance of Flora’s hands, who usually wears gloves like satin.
But Katharina knows.
Under this glove, Flora’s hand is so tattered that it’s hard to believe she’s the daughter of an aristocrat.

Flora’s hands, hands that wield a sword, hands that do all sorts of chores, and hands that even cook, are almost the same as those of a laborer.
Recently, she even hides her identity and joins the soldiers while patrolling the fields and ranches.
She even says she gets down into the fields and helps with the farm work.
Thanks to this hand, Katharina’s illness has also improved.
She shouldn’t think of these hands as dirty.

Flora made a slightly sad face at Katharina’s words, but Katharina didn’t notice it.
And while the others were saying their farewells, Katharina got on a carriage and left Manor Carruthers.

Katharina made up her mind after seeing Flora training behind the manor that day.
She wanted to study more and become a person who can help Flora.
She wanted to serve Flora and support her by her side.
In order to do that, she had to go home quickly and start over with her studies.
Her mind was made up as she hurried to her family’s house.

T/N: Katharina will be back in chapter 69.
I look forward to that time because honestly, she’s my favorite among the love interests because of how she acts in her future position.

I’ll just say she’ll be the furthest thing from innocent, naive, and sheltered by her return, and it’s the source of some of the series’ best comedic moments for me.
