Episode 30
* * *
The next morning, during regular meal time.
Having reviewed all my plans, I grinned like a scheming puppy, going “Umhwahwa.”
“This is Agent Jack! I’ve brought the ring called 【Melody of Sacred Pilaf】 and the instruction manual that our Bird personally! wrote.”
Everything was perfect!
“No, Father. It was really amazing, you know? She just brought out this bird!”
“Brought it out.”
“The shop clerk said, how did that fierce bird become so docile! And called her the ‘God of Birds’ and showed respect, you know?”
As expected, it was nonsense.
…But why is that Duke Ardos uncle listening to those words so seriously?
Sister Chloe, who was chewing meatballs, said dryly.
“You’ve said a hundred times that the shop clerk praised Coco as a genius.”
“She certainly seems to have a talent for handling animals.”
Duke Ardos deliberately praised me.
‘Why?’
Something’s been strangely unsettling since last time…
When I just blinked my eyes, Duke Ardos, who had been quietly watching me, sniffled.
“…It seems you haven’t heard much praise before.”
He seems to be having some strange misunderstanding…
‘Could it be that this family are all idiots except for my sister?’
But I decided not to object.
I needed to quickly accomplish my plan while the atmosphere was good.
I pulled out a box from my pouch with a “swoosh” and held it up.
“You know, I bought this at the commercial district! I’ll give it to you!”
“Hmm? What, what are you giving me?”
“I bought it because I thought it would suit you well, Duke!”
“Ah, right. Come to think of it, you were wrapping it carefully… When will you give us ours?”
“…Duke first!”
Ruth, seeing what was in my hand, spat out the drink he was sipping with a “pfft.”
“A pin that only dogs would use, to our father…”
Seeing the sweet potato shaped pin in my hand, he made a bewildered expression.
I lifted my chin and said confidently.
“Sweet potato shape! It’s really good stuff. The best and most delicious thing in the world.”
Ruth quietly closed his mouth.
At that moment, Duke Ardos made a blunt expression and said.
“You little thing, isn’t this too cute for me to wear? It would be embarrassing to show off anywhere…”
Moreover, seeing the Duke’s expression turn into a rotten sweet potato, he seems to dislike it.
It’s a pin with a surface that’s shiny golden sweet potato colored, so why doesn’t he like it?
“It’s pretty when you pin it on.”
“Wow… Our Little One really is amazing.”
It was when Ruth nodded his head as if impressed.
Duke Ardos glared at the pin.
“…Didn’t your family members exchange gifts and such?”
I’m not sure. They’re a family setting created by Dog God.
‘My memory is extremely vague.’
I rolled my eyes around and remained silent.
Then Duke Ardos made a throat-clearing sound.
“Give it here.”
“…?”
“Father?”
“What.”
Whether Chloe and Ruth were shocked or not, Duke Ardos calmly snatched the pin and pinned it to the shirt pocket on his chest like a brooch.
I blinked my eyes.
‘I don’t know what it is, but!’
Things are going incredibly smoothly!
While everyone was shocked, Duke Ardos slightly furrowed his brow and stood up.
“…This family play ends here.”
Duke Ardos roughly pulled the pin down.
His face turned bright red. He was even snorting.
I scratched my head and said.
“Yes! Thank you!”
“…Yes, you little thing. By the way, you even offered me a gift, so you want something from me, right?”
“Gasp, yes! There is something I want.”
“How bold. Well then, tell me. What is it you want?”
I said very seriously.
“I want to play ball at the Northern Open Field this afternoon!”
“…Ball playing?”
I clenched my fist and shouted.
“Yes! This is something tremendous that involves someone’s fate…”
Crazy laughter burst out from beside me.
“Pu, puhahahaha! You even gave Father a bribe and all you want to do is play ball?”
Ruth giggled and Sister Chloe’s lips also twitched.
But I have to save our sister. I have to save the Grand Duke’s son too.
For that! I must!
I have to play ball at the Northern Open Field!
It was when I was staring at the Duke with wide eyes.
“Hmm, the Northern Open Field is dangerous, so I can’t give permission. I also have other business to attend to there in the afternoon.”
Gasp, I didn’t expect to be rejected so flatly.
I rolled my eyes around and reached out my hands toward Duke Ardos.
“But you know. I think I saw other humans running around there really excitedly…”
“Father, it’s because of Grand Duke Caligo, isn’t it? But it’s not that dangerous anymore, right? They say the Grand Duke has almost fully healed. That damn Theresia…”
“Ruth. Watch your language. She’s your sister.”
“…Sigh, yes, yes. Anyway Father, please grant the child’s request. You even received a pin. What big problem could there be? Didn’t you say Theresia almost finished treating the Grand Duke?”
“…”
“Look at Coco. After being told no, she’s become so well-behaved that her spirits are completely crushed. Think about it. What could such a tiny child do there besides play ball? If you’re really worried, I could even go with…”
Duke Ardos stroked his chin with a thoughtful expression.
“…Then, play moderately and come back.”
I rolled my eyes around and nodded my head vigorously.
Then, Sister stared at me intently and said just one thing.
“Coco isn’t dejected, she looks like she’s about to cause trouble.”
I gasped and bit my rolled-up lips.
“Our Coco’s showing the whites of her eyes. What trouble did you cause this time.”
“Woof, woooof!”
“What puppy breaks the snack container because they want to eat more snacks. Sigh, I really can’t live because of you.”
…As expected, whether then or now, our Sister is too sharp.
Then, Sister casually threw out a comment.
“Should I go with you.”
“Hm?”
“…You’re going to play ball, right. Let’s go together.”
I opened my eyes and mouth wide at the same time.
“Wo, woooow.”
If Sister joins, my solo ‘Save Grand Prince Rivera’ plan might get a little twisted, right?
But…
“I really, really like that!”
I can play ball with Sister after so long!
I smiled happily, showing my bean-sized front teeth.
“When I said I’d go, you didn’t even pretend to listen. But look at your face turn red as an apple when Chloe suggests playing ball.”
“Gasp.”
I covered my face and barely felt relieved.
“Dummy… It’s not an apple, it’s flesh.”
But since Ruth is originally a bit of a dummy, smart me should understand.
Sister Chloe shrugged her shoulders on behalf of Ruth, who received my pitying gaze.
“…How could I send such a child all the way there alone?”
“All the way there? It’s just within the mansion.”
“Anyway.”
Sister glanced at me briefly.
Then Ruth grinned and muttered.
“Well, it does feel nice, like I really got a little sister.”
I’m not sure about other things, but I think Sister and I are getting closer little by little!
“…That’s a good idea, Chloe.”
Duke Ardos also nodded silently.
And you know what? This family also seems to be getting closer to our Sister little by little!
‘I’m changing our Sister’s future to be happy.’
Just that fact alone made my heart flutter with excitement.
Even if I turned into a red apple like Ruth said, I felt like it would be okay.

That evening, near the Northern Annex.
Passing through the huge open space near the annex, Theresia could see Chloe throwing a ball with an expressionless face.
‘That stupid little brat and Chloe.’
Her name was Coco, wasn’t it?
As she approached closer to the annex, she could see the stupid little brat gripping the ball tightly in her hands.
And also watching her expression.
“Oh, hello!”
Theresia glanced at the spirited little brat and smiled softly.
“Sorry, little brat. I have a policy of ignoring humans with no value.”
“Huh…. You just answered what I said though. That’s not ignoring me.”
