【Chapter 91】

 

“I don’t know that either.”

 

“…What?”

 

“First, we need to get permission from my father.”

 

The Lady’s father.

 

= Croste Duke.

 

“…?”

 

The guide’s face turned pale as his mind suddenly seemed to work faster.

 

‘Oh no. He’s going to cry again at this rate.’

 

“He, hehe. Th, then shall we go for the interview now?”

 

I pretended not to notice the guide who was starting to sniffle and quickly grabbed his hand.

 

I felt like I needed to get this done quickly before he started crying again.

 

* * *

 

A little while later.

 

“What is it this time.”

 

Callipus, who had been concentrating on his work as usual, narrowed his eyes at the situation that suddenly unfolded before him.

 

“Father. This golden seed has brought a future talent who will achieve great things.”

 

‘She’s planning to cause trouble again.’

 

That kid always used such strange speech patterns whenever she was about to pull something.

 

Rustle—

 

Even his daughter’s expression as she rubbed her hands together like a fly was ominous.

 

Callipus stared intently at his daughter who was giggling cunningly before opening his mouth.

 

“Wait a moment.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“Take a deep breath.”

 

He needed to prepare himself mentally. After taking a deep breath, he nodded.

 

Suddenly he missed Lucas, who would be diligently attending his successor lessons right now.

 

“…Fine. Now bring in this talent who will achieve great things.”

 

“Yes!”

 

Soon the door opened wide. A young boy appeared behind Aisha and stood hesitantly in front of Callipus.

 

“H, h, h, hello. Your Grace.”

 

It was a boy about the same height as Aisha.

 

Messy brown hair. A pale complexion. And watery eyes that looked like they would burst into tears at any moment.

 

‘For a talent who will achieve great things… his appearance is…’

 

Callipus tried to hide his bewilderment and was about to acknowledge the boy’s greeting.

 

‘…A Peri?’

 

His body froze.

 

It wasn’t just the boy who had appeared in the study. There was also a monster. Even a fierce Peri known as a troublemaker among the guards.

 

A Peri that deserved to be cut down immediately was hanging on the boy’s shoulder like laundry, looking at him.

 

And with innocently sparkling eyes at that.

 

‘I don’t know what this is, but she’s really brought a big shot.’

 

Callipus let out a hollow laugh and spoke to Aisha while keeping his eyes fixed on the monster.

 

“Daughter. Explain.”

 

If he hadn’t built up some immunity to Aisha’s actions, he would have already cut that monster in half.

 

‘Be patient.’

 

He decided to watch his daughter’s antics a little longer as a true father.

 

“Yes!”

 

Aisha, who had been looking around nervously, perked up her ears at his question and nodded vigorously.

 

“Guide. Will you show His Grace what you showed me earlier?”

 

“Y, yes.”

 

At his daughter’s request, the boy called Guide nodded.

 

Then he glanced up at Callipus and—

 

“Hii, hiik!”

 

He was startled and burst into tears.

 

“L, Lady, I…”

 

“Guide. Fighting!”

 

Regardless, Aisha clenched her fists and cheered him on.

 

As if gaining courage from that, the boy sniffled and put Peri down on the floor.

 

“….”

 

Up until this point, Callipus remained silent, feeling responsible for making the boy cry for no reason.

 

However, even if the boy was scared, he needed to properly demonstrate why he brought a monster.

 

If he couldn’t show anything, he planned to call the servants to give him some chocolate or bread before sending him away, and educate Aisha not to keep picking up random people.

 

But then.

 

“Sn, sniff. B, Bibi… s, sit.”

 

When the boy finished his words earnestly despite sniffling.

 

Thud—

 

The monster sat down.

 

“G, g, good job… B, Bibi… sniff… B, Bibi. Now j, jump…”

 

When the boy raised his clenched fist in the air, the Peri even jumped.

 

This was a monster? Not a puppy?

 

In all his time dealing with monsters as the Croste Duke, Callipus had never once seen a monster that obeyed human commands.

 

He had heard rumors of illegal circuses showing off monsters, but even there they only suppressed them so they couldn’t move, rather than training them.

 

This meant monsters were never beings you could communicate with.

 

Except for Kail, of course. And Kail wasn’t even completely human anyway.

 

“….”

 

That’s why the boy before his eyes was so amazing.

 

My daughter. What exactly have you brought me.

 

“Th, this is all I c, can do… S, sorry…!”

 

Even then, when Callipus said nothing, the boy seemed to think the reaction was poor and didn’t know what to do.

 

This is all?

 

It was ‘this much.’

 

“…You. Your name is Guide?”

 

“Y, yes.”

 

“You can communicate with the Peri?”

 

“N, no. Rather than being able to communicate… I, I just trained it to do this. I want to show you more, but Bibi can’t do continuous training without snacks yet. But if there are snacks, it can do other things too!”

 

So that meant it was possible.

 

“I see, Guide. Good work for now. Just… rest for now. The monster’s name is…”

 

“B, Bibi.”

 

“Right. Rest with Bibibibi…”

 

“It’s B, Bibi!”

 

Callipus sighed.

 

“Right. Rest with Bibi. I’ll call for you later.”

 

“Y, yes!”

 

Guide nodded and then sent a look to Aisha as if asking whether he had done well.

 

When Aisha nodded and patted his back, he immediately felt relieved and looked proud.

 

Soon a servant came in and led the boy out, and Aisha waved goodbye to him as he left the study.

 

Callipus looked at his daughter with curious eyes.

 

Anyway, she had an excellent talent for making strange fellows into her allies.

 

“Totally amazing, right? Huh, huuh?”

 

He suddenly picked up Aisha, who was grinning brightly.

 

Her mouth, which had gathered like a baby bird about to chatter earnestly, turned into a triangular shape.

 

Callipus narrowed his eyes and asked.

 

“What exactly are you?”

 

“…Huh?”

 

At the sudden question, the child’s red eyes widened in surprise. Callipus gazed intently at his daughter in his arms.

 

“…”

 

His adopted daughter was actually a spy sent to use him, the guy she brought was the king of monsters, and the new one she brought had an unheard-of ability to train monsters.

 

What were the odds of experiencing such things in one’s lifetime?

 

Most problematic was that they all showed friendly attitudes toward monsters.

 

To the head of Croste, who protected the North and lived with monster subjugation as his life’s goal.

 

“…Sigh.”

 

Callipus realized anew.

 

Whatever she was, this child tilting her head in front of him could never be ordinary.

 

Seeing how she kept bringing such strange fellows, she was destined for great things.

 

She wasn’t ordinary from the start. So a child like this…

 

“Well done, Aisha.”

 

Should be praised.

 

Though his expression remained indifferent, he did his best to pat the child’s head.

 

“I don’t know if this Guide fellow will be poison or benefit to our family, but it’s better we manage him than let some strange family discover him. Well done.”

 

“…Papa.”

 

His daughter’s eyes sparkled.

 

To think those red eyes so identical to his own could look so happy.

 

The corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted slightly.

 

“From now on, only cause trouble within safe limits like this. Understood?”

 

“…Mm… Yes!”

 

“Good. Now go.”

 

After hearing the somewhat unreliable answer, he set Aisha down on the floor.

 

She then ran to the door and waved her hand energetically.

 

“See you at dinner!”

 

Cute kid.

 

After nodding and finishing his farewell with Aisha, some time passed.

 

Slam-

 

The tightly closed door suddenly opened, changing the quiet atmosphere of the study.

 

It was Nox who entered. His monocle flashing white, he breathed heavily and called to Callipus.

 

“Your Highness.”

 

“What.”

 

“Why… why didn’t you call me?!”

 

He then reproached Callipus with a displeased face.

 

“A kid who gives orders to monsters? If there was a chance to see such a spectacle, you naturally should have called me, Nox the aide and president of the Monster Appreciation Society!”

 

“Ah. That.”

 

He was planning to call him anyway. Though he had no intention of showing him the spectacle.

 

“I’m holding a meeting about that in a week. We’ll discuss it then, so prepare.”

 

“Th-then will you bring the young boy to that meeting too?”
