【Chapter 116】

And so, I learned about what Kail had done during the time I was busy.

“Aisha, I—”

“Hands.”

When I warned him with a sharp glare, Kail pouted as he tried to lower his two arms that he had been subtly raising.

This place was the playroom.

No, from now on it was the Room of Reflection.

“You called the Captain of the Guards and his men ‘big bros’ and threw a tantrum saying you wouldn’t train, didn’t you?”

Even as I asked, it was an absurd thing to say.

“By the way, who taught you the expression ‘big bros’?”

“I won’t tell you.”

“What?!”

When I glared and took a step closer, he flinched and finally confessed.

“…Bibi Grandmother said it wasn’t a bad meaning!”

So he learned it from Bibi Grandmother.

I sighed and crossed my arms.

“Just because Bibi Grandmother said that, how could you copy her?”

“…Ugh.”

At those words, the walnut mark below his pouting lower lip became even darker.

“…Aisha doesn’t understand my feelings.”

Kail, who had been glaring at me for a while, looked down sadly and turned his head away sharply.

“Huh?”

“Aisha is stupid.”

“…”

Even while saying that, he kept his trembling arms raised, trying not to let them fall.

Seeing how he was properly maintaining his punishment, it didn’t seem like an act of rebellion.

This was…

‘Could it be that Kail is upset with me about something?’

Oh my.

My sharp gaze softened.

If that was the case, making him stand as punishment might only make the situation worse.

Let me change my attitude first.

“Kail.”

I shook my head quickly and approached him with a gentle expression.

“…?”

“Put your arms down first, it must hurt.”

Then he, who had been full of complaints, looked puzzled and said.

“You’re just realizing that now? Aisha, blockhead.”

“Want to raise them again?”

“Aisha has an angel head.”

“Right. Put your arms down.”

Kail, having tasted the bitter reality of society, lowered his aching arms. Now he had become a proper materialistic member of society who even knew how to flatter those in power.

But this was just the beginning.

What had made Kail so upset that he even rebelled?

I uncrossed my arms and asked gently.

“You were fine before, so why are you suddenly acting like this? Is there something that bothers you?”

At my softened tone, Kail glanced at me and slowly opened his mouth.

“…Aisha doesn’t play with me these days.”

I was a little surprised and widened my eyes at those words.

He really was upset with me. And for the reason that I wasn’t playing with him.

It was true that I had spent less time with him…

“I’m really sorry about that. But I told you in advance that I’d be busy.”

“I know. But still…”

He knew but was still upset?

He fidgeted with his fingers with a dejected look, then suddenly continued with dissatisfaction.

“The sword training and etiquette lessons, I did all of that because of Aisha.”

“…Huh?”

“When I studied, Aisha would praise me and pay attention to me, so that’s why I did it. But these days you don’t pay attention to me. Now I have no reason to study.”

This symptom was…

I looked at the sulking Kail calmly and came to a conclusion.

‘A child becoming increasingly rebellious due to parental neglect?!’

I think I saw something like this on TV in my previous life?

Whether my mouth turned into a triangle shape from seriousness or not, Kail still seemed clueless about why he should be punished.

Oh my goodness. This was largely my fault.

Kail was originally close to a young beast, but I had claimed to be his guardian in words only without properly taking care of him.

Whether giving affection or training, I should have made an effort for him in some way.

‘In times like this…’

As his guardian, I need to show that I have a lot of interest in Kail.

I swallowed my saliva and quickly tried to appease his anger.

“Aww~ Our Kail was upset thinking I wasn’t interested in him~”

“…Hmph.”

He turned his head away sharply.

But I won’t give up.

“But even during magic lessons, I was always thinking only about Kail~”

“…?”

At my words, Kail’s ears perked up slightly.

‘How cute.’

I smiled inwardly and waved my hands.

“What sword training did Kail do today~ What etiquette lesson did he take today~”

“…T-today’s lesson… I didn’t take any…”

“What did he eat for lunch today~ I was so curious, but I had classes so I held back. I was planning to play with Kail all day later and ask him about it.”

“…All day?”

Finally, he turned his head to look at me.

This little guy took the bait.

I nodded excessively and approached him.

“Yeah. The lessons are for two months, so when they’re over I want to play with Kail all day long…”

And the moment I carefully took his hand with the feeling of catching a frightened herbivore.

Thud-!

“?!”

My vision flashed like lightning.

For a moment my body went limp and I almost fell, but thanks to Kail firmly supporting my back, I was able to maintain my balance.

“Aisha! Are you okay?!”

“…?”

I think I almost fainted momentarily just now, but what happened?

At the urgent cry, I looked around but nothing had changed. I could only see Kail’s worried face.

“Aisha, does it hurt somewhere? Should we go to the physician?”

“…No, it’s not that serious.”

I calmed down the startled Kail for now.

Definitely something was wrong with my body the moment I held Kail’s hand…

Just in case.

“Kail.”

“Hm?”

I grabbed his hand firmly once again.

Churn—

“…”

As expected.

Though it was less than before, when I made contact with his bare skin, I felt nauseous and dizzy.

“…Something feels strange when I hold hands with you.”

I muttered with a serious expression.

“Aisha, do you feel that way too?”

Kail’s eyes widened as he exclaimed happily.

“What? You feel it too?”

“Yeah!”

Oh my. Could there really be something between us two?

When I looked at Kail in surprise, he clutched his chest with sparkling eyes.

“Whenever I’m close to Aisha, my heart pounds like crazy, and it feels like someone’s tickling my body.”

“…?”

Huh? That sounds a bit different from what I’m experiencing.

“Aisha, when you hold my hand, does your heart pound and does your body feel tingly too?”

No. My heart is racing and my head is spinning…?

“….”

I couldn’t bring myself to give that response to his innocent face, so I swallowed my words and kept quiet.

“Could it be that we have telepathy or something like that?”

When I didn’t answer, Kail opened his mouth wide and asked excitedly.

“….”

That’s when I realized.

Our Kail has been relying on me a lot!

And here I was, not knowing that, complaining about feeling dizzy from touching Kail’s skin….

“…Hehe. Yeah, we must have telepathy between us!”

After playing with the excited Kail for a while, I came outside the castle.

However.

‘Bibi Grandmother might know something.’

I had brushed it off with Kail talking about telepathy and all, but I was still bothered by the dizziness I felt.

“Kyuu!”

Just then, I heard a familiar voice and turned my head.

“Kyuut~? (It’s been a while, Aisha?)”

“Bibi Grandmother?”

I happened to run into Bibi Grandmother, who was out for a walk.

Now she was a wonderful and kind monster who walked confidently among the guards.

“Kyu, kyu. (I heard you’ve been learning magic lately, how’s it going?)”

“Yes. You’re getting along well with the guide too, aren’t you, Bibi Grandmother?”

“Kyuu~! (Of course~ naturally!)”

When I bent my knees slightly to meet her eyes, she nodded and approached me with a purr.

“Perfect timing, Grandmother. I actually had something I was curious about…”

That’s when it happened.

“Kyu? (Wait a moment, Yonsuk.)”

“Yes?”

As if sensing something strange, she hesitated and began circling around me, sniffing.

“Kyu, kyu? (What is this…?)”

“Grandmother, what’s wrong?”

“Kyu, kyu, kyuu~? (Child, did you perhaps go monster hunting like the other guards?)”

“Monster hunting…?”

Suddenly, why monster hunting?

I shook my head.

“No? I’ve never gone monster hunting before.”

“Kyu…? (Really…?)”

Bibi Grandmother looked at me with suspicious eyes and tilted her head.

“Kyu, kyuu? (Then why do you smell so strongly of monsters? It’s stronger than before. I’m certain.)”

“What…?”

The monster smell has gotten stronger?

Come to think of it, before the public sparring match with the royal court, Bibi Grandmother had said I smelled like monsters.

“Grandmother, I wanted to ask about that. When you hug the guide, has he ever felt dizzy from touching you?”

“Kyu? (No? What are you talking about?)”

Bibi Grandmother, who had an amazing sense of smell, shook her head as if she didn’t know about that.

‘…Grandmother doesn’t know either.’

“Hmm.”

I touched my chin with my hand and fell into thought.

If even Bibi Grandmother didn’t know, there was only one way to find out.

And that was…
