Episode 27

 

There was a hint from the future that Mouse showed me.

 

To calm the Grand Duke’s son’s rampage, there was a clue that ancient magic corresponding to the Grand Duke’s son’s special ability, ‘Shadow Magic’, was needed.

 

In the future, after the Grand Duke’s son passed away, Grand Duke Rivera called his subordinates and searched the entire capital.

 

Hoping to find some old object imbued with ancient magic.

 

But he never managed to find it in the end. So you could say there really was no method.

 

‘What a powerful Grand Duke couldn’t do, I can’t do either.’

 

I’m just a grubby 5-year-old kid inside this Duke’s Mansion right now.

 

‘Even the Duke, who has the most power, doesn’t trust me…’

 

If I were in his position, I probably wouldn’t believe the words of a baby like me who has nothing, or share information either.

 

And what if I spoke up carelessly and he threatened me saying ‘How did you know? I won’t adopt suspicious babies.’

 

It was when I was feeling dejected and plopped down on the floor with a thud.

 

Mouse wagged its tail as if to comfort me.

 

“Just give up, you poor thing. There’s a saying that birds hear words spoken during the day and mice hear words spoken at night. Even though I know all the night words of this world, if I don’t know something, then it’s really unknown…”

 

“Huh?”

 

“Even though I know all the night words of this world, if I don’t know something, then it’s really unknown. Huh?”

 

“No, before that.”

 

“Birds hear words spoken during the day and words spoken at night are…”

 

Lightning struck my head with a crack.

 

“Gasp, that’s it! That’s the answer!”

 

My animal friends had access to an incredible information network that humans didn’t know about!

 

Namely, birds!

 

* * *

 

Everything was perfect up until I thought of the birds.

 

‘Chirpy, the ultimate information broker bird who knows everything, lives in flocks in the commercial district.’

 

Since I had formed a connection during my stray dog days, I even knew where to find them!

 

But unexpectedly, a big problem arose.

 

“Little Master, you can’t go to the commercial district alone. We need to ask His Grace to assign you guards. You’re so small and delicate…”

 

…I was wondering how I should get permission.

 

“Why do you want to go to the commercial district?”

 

“Well, that… I want to give Your Grace a wonderful present!”

 

I had made up a nice excuse, but it seemed really inadequate as an explanation, so I rolled my eyes.

 

“…So, you’re thinking of giving gifts to your family members, is that it?”

 

“Yes! Duke is family too! Sister and Ruth’s things too….”

 

“….”

 

“Won’t you answer…?”

 

“…Go ahead. You can’t go alone, so I’ll assign Ruth to you. But, do you have any money?”

 

“Yes…?”

 

This, stupid puppy! I didn’t expect that!

 

When I rolled my eyes around, Duke Ardos’s expression became strangely odd.

 

“You don’t even have money, yet you’re saying you’ll give gifts to your family members right now. You’re going to go out to the commercial district with that tiny body of yours?”

 

“Yes! I don’t have money!”

 

“This little one, how much must she have missed her family….”

 

It was a strange expression somehow.

 

‘What is it? I feel like I’m getting a lot of sympathy?’

 

But that expression is nothing compared to the current situation.

 

I looked at Ruth who followed behind me, along with about thirty knights, and the maid sister, and let out a sigh.

 

Hearing me sigh loudly, Ruth laughed, “Uhaha.”

 

“How did you think of giving a gift to Duke?”

 

That was just an excuse I hastily made up because I was worried he wouldn’t let me go outside.

 

“You’re even buying my gift, I’m so proud I could die, you little dirty thing.”

 

I bought it because Ruth looked so dejected.

 

“What I don’t like is that you bought Chloe’s gift really, really big.”

 

“Well, that’s because our sister is the best….”

 

Muttering quietly, I hesitated and tried taking one step at a time.

 

Squeak.

 

‘Damn it.’

 

…It seemed like Ruth hadn’t noticed yet.

 

I tried walking a little faster.

 

Squeak, squeak.

 

Squeak squeak squeak squeak.

 

“Hey, little dirty one. Where are you going.”

 

My body was lifted up by Ruth’s hand.

 

“It seems our little dirty one is directionally challenged. Hmm…. I’m worried she might get lost.”

 

…I’m not directionally challenged.

 

“Ugh, I hate these shoes….”

 

My walking is already more clumsy than people who were originally human.

 

Because of these bad squeaky shoes, I couldn’t even run away.

 

I let out deep sighs.

 

And so, in front of the huge main street of the commercial district.

 

In the end, we arrived at this place with these humans hanging all over me.

 

【Bird Cafeteria】

 

“Ha, after walking around everywhere so enthusiastically, you came to a restaurant where commoners go? After buying all those gifts, are you hungry?”

 

“Mmhm…”

 

“Alright, I’m in a good mood. What the heck! Let’s go together!”

 

“Yeah, I’ll buy you something delicious!”

 

I lifted up the pouch full of gold coins.

 

The pouch with a puppy drawn on it was the wallet that Duke Ardos had filled for me.

 

Ruth’s expression became distorted with emotion.

 

“Oh my, what a precious little one. You’ve grown up, you’ve really grown up.”

 

I am a baby, that’s true.

 

Like that, we held hands and entered the 【Bird Cafeteria】.

 

After taking a seat, I stared intently down at the menu on the table.

 

【Menu】

 

I slowly read the sentence written at the very bottom of the menu.

 

“Birds hear words spoken during the day, and birds hear words spoken at night too.”

 

Yes, I found the right place.

 

I made a clearing sound and quickly looked around.

 

‘This place filled with bird patterns!’

 

This restaurant I came to is exactly where you can hear both ‘words of day and night’!

 

‘The birds’ dwelling!’

 

If humans have 【Information Guilds】, then animals also have 【Information Brokers】.

 

During my stray dog days, the birds that helped us not starve to death.

 

Those bird friends who found bones like ghosts were exactly our information brokers.

 

‘And such birds tend to collect jewels!’

 

As I was reminiscing about memories, a server who approached nearby said.

 

“Ah, you’re curious about this too. Many people ask about it. What this phrase means.”

 

The server smiled gently and gestured toward the second floor with their chin.

 

“Actually, we keep birds on the second floor of our cafe. My late father really loved birds. So we put in this little phrase as a way to honor Father.”

 

I looked at the server with innocent puppy eyes.

 

“Wow! Birds are cool! Can I meet them?”

 

“I’m sorry, but that’s difficult. The birds really, really hate humans. I’m worried they might injure such an esteemed person.”

 

Seeing the server make a troubled expression, it didn’t seem like a lie.

 

Then, Ruth’s eyes sparkled as she interjected.

 

“What, little one, did you like birds? I’ll show you some. We have lots at our mansion.”

 

That’s not it! Ruth! Go away!

 

“You know, I give Bird delicious things, bring him water, and ‘I’ll give you Sweet Nectar’.”

 

Then she hummed softly.

 

I don’t know what Sweet Nectar is.

 

But I could tell that as soon as Server heard the humming, his eyes widened in surprise.
