【105】
Right now, Diagon was not joking.
Rather than tell his precious youngest daughter—the apple of his eye—to fight the world, it would be better if he simply became a villain, a traitor to his family, someone deserving of death.
Becoming a rebel, fleeing with his daughter, and spending the rest of his life as a fisherman was… if he was being honest, tempting.
The problem was that his daughter wouldn’t exactly welcome her father’s betrayal.
“My sons were already sent out on missions at nine years old. If you coddle a daughter like this, she’ll miss her chance to grow.”
Galiazard spoke with gravity, but Diagon simply scratched his ear.
“Even with the power of the Spirit King, each use requires considerable time before the next. Beyond that, she’s just an ordinary child. A nine-year-old deserves protection, that’s all.”
“Tch.”
“Experience some blood and tears yourself, Father.”
Diagon replied indifferently and rose from his seat as he always did.
Mikard, now eighteen this year, appeared grown on the surface.
In the Baratheum Empire, the coming-of-age ceremony took place at nineteen, so there wasn’t much time left.
But age was merely a number; the boy still needed his father.
He needed those moments carved from the evening hours—brief walks and words of encouragement.
And what of Elzen?
At sixteen, he was in the throes of adolescence.
It would have been better with a mother, but since that wasn’t the case, he had to fulfill both parental roles himself.
He needed to ask how the boy felt today, why he felt that way, and show genuine interest.
The youngest, now only nine because she’d been born younger than expected, needed even more attention.
Since caring for all three children was far more fulfilling than enjoying an evening to himself, he left the reception room without hesitation.
After Diagon kissed his youngest daughter’s forehead and returned to his bedroom,
soft, billowing light bloomed around the sleeping child.
Pop, pop!
Droplet-shaped lights burst with a popping sound, and what emerged from within was…
* * *
‘It tickles.’
Half-asleep, I rubbed my soft cheek vigorously.
Something like a thread kept tickling my cheek.
‘Ugh, I don’t want to wake up…’
Tap, tap-tap.
Soft frills? A brush?
I had no idea what was tickling me so relentlessly.
“Lina, Lina?”
Without opening my eyes, I spoke, still drowsy and mumbling softly.
But there was no answer.
Only gentle taps, like the softest raindrops, touching me.
“Yaaawn.”
I didn’t want to wake up, not now.
Sleep was sweet, like a perfectly ripe peach.
As I thought this and waved my hand, something wrapped around my fingers before whooshing away.
I tried to open my eyes just a crack, but my heavy eyelids eventually made me surrender to everything and drift back into the dream realm.
In my dream, Mother, Father, and my older brothers all went on a picnic together, and it was so wonderful that I wanted to sleep forever and ever.
“Youngest Daughter, you need to wake up.”
Until Father from reality called to me so tenderly.
“If you open your eyes, there’s a wonderful surprise waiting for you.”
“A surprise…?”
“Yes. Didn’t you feel ticklish while you were sleeping?”
“I did feel ticklish…”
Father’s voice was brimming with laughter.
What good thing could have happened?
Of course, Cecilia coming back was already wonderful enough, but still.
Just then, a cheerful chime sounded—ding dong!
‘This is Upiros!’
I finally opened my eyes and started to read the shimmering text before stopping short.
“…Huh?”
What is this?
“Congratulations, my daughter. Bijou has finally bloomed. And your ability has awakened simultaneously.”
“Wh… what?”
Jellyfish!
The entire room was filled with pink, white, blue, and yellow jellyfish.
They all drifted about with their frilly tentacles stretched long, and they came in all different sizes.
The largest jellyfish was as big as a baby, and the smallest ones were smaller than my palm!
“Wow, wow. Wowwww!”
With my mouth hanging open, I couldn’t contain my excitement and bounced on the bed.
“Bijou! I got Bijou?!”
[The Water Spirit King ‘Aurora’ is giving you a warning.]
[Now, now, daughter.]
Oh, that’s right.
I shouldn’t jump on the bed!
Father always indulges me, so I need to listen to Mother to avoid becoming a spoiled child.
I quickly climbed down from the bed, hastily slipped on my rabbit-shaped slippers, and examined the jellyfish from every angle.
“Father! They’re so beautiful!”
“They are. As beautiful as my daughter.”
Father smiled warmly and lifted me up, giving me a piggyback ride.
“Now, look at them from up high too.”
“Kyaaaa!”
How thrilling!
The jellyfish came in many different varieties, drifting gently about.
“Father, that one’s a moon jellyfish! That one’s a flower hat jellyfish! There’s a cone jellyfish too!”
“That large one in the corner is a Curtain Jellyfish. Its venom is potent, so it seems to be staying there deliberately to avoid harming you.”
“But that’s my ability—could I still get stung by jellyfish? Though when I was sleeping, they tickled me so much with their tentacles!”
“It’s generally true that an awakened one doesn’t suffer from their own ability.”
Besides, seeing how the Spirit Kings left them undisturbed, these jellyfish don’t seem to pose any threat to me.
When I stretched out my plump arms, the Full Moon Jellyfish came fluttering down and settled upon me.
Finding them so beautiful, I smiled brightly and then gestured to the Curtain Jellyfish as well.
“Come here. Yes?”
Watching a jellyfish the size of a small child hesitantly approach was entertaining in itself.
[The Water Spirit King ‘Aurora’ sends her congratulations.]
[My beloved daughter, I congratulate you on awakening your ability. On a day like this, one should place candles on a cake and blow them out. You must do it with Father.]
Yes, I will, Mother!
Answering spiritedly, I gently stroked the round body of the Curtain Jellyfish.
As expected, it caused me no harm whatsoever.
It didn’t even sting.
“How peculiar. Does it recognize family?”
“Oh, Father! If you touch it like that, you’ll get stung!”
“Well, I feel nothing at all… They’re harmless creatures.”
Harmless?
I became somewhat bewildered.
Jellyfish were creatures one had to be absolutely cautious about in the sea.
When stung, the skin would burn and cause excruciating pain.
Moreover, wherever the tentacles passed or coiled, wounds would form and wouldn’t heal for a long time.
‘Of course, I’ve never been stung by a jellyfish myself, but I’ve learned about it.’
If I happened to pass by the coastline and saw someone stung by a jellyfish, I’d know how to respond as someone from Fasayen!
First, one must never rinse it with clean water.
You have to wash it with seawater and provide first aid.
Most people from the Coastal Village knew such emergency procedures, but occasionally tourists visiting Fasayen for the first time would have accidents.
In any case, I’d learned all that and was quite anxious, but nothing happened.
‘If nothing happens… isn’t that actually a problem?’
Tilting my head in confusion, I decided to simply savor the joy for now.
I have my Bijou now too!
So what form will my Bijou take?
What color is it?
“Lina!!!”
“Yes, Miss!”
Lina, who had been bouncing on her feet at the classroom door, hurried in at my call.
Worried that Lina might get hurt, I sent the jellyfish away.
How did I send them away? Just a gesture, and they come and go.
“Hurry! Show me my Bijou right now!”
“Just a moment…!”
I could ask Father to take a look, but I’m a bit embarrassed about it.
Soon after, Lina led me to the Dressing Room and helped me change into fresh clothes.
While doing so, she held up two mirrors to show me my wing joints.
“…!!!”
A moment later.
Donning the white toga I’d prepared some time ago for just this occasion, I stood proudly before Father with an utterly smug expression.
“Ta-da!”
Both Upiros and the Spirit Kings are showering me with tremendous congratulations.
But the greatest joy is still Mother and Father’s blessing!
“Look at this!”
