【106】
My Bijou was none other than a paper crane-shaped jewel that shimmered with transparency.
A paper crane-shaped gemstone gleaming with crystalline clarity.
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ interjects.]
[A paper crane shape… somehow it reminds me of something?]
Something it reminds you of?
[The Air Spirit King ‘Shapasi’ adds a word.]
[Your treasure.]
Ah…!
“Gasp, Father!”
Father gazed upon my Bijou and seemed overwhelmed, clutching his chest without uttering a word. I left him to his emotions and quickly retrieved my jewelry box.
“Father, it’s my Bijou! Doesn’t it look exactly like this paper crane-shaped hairpin?”
“…”
“Rasifer gave this to me.”
In that instant, Father’s expression crumbled as though the world had collapsed.
“Surely not. It can’t be.”
“Hehe, I wish Rasifer would be my Bijou’s Companion.”
“My dear, the world overflows with men. There are so many you could kick them with your feet. But do you really need to fixate on one person in particular?”
Father grasped my hand with utmost seriousness. I tilted my head in confusion.
Of course, but there’s no one as beautiful as Rasifer!
‘Besides, a Bijou can only have one Companion. If I had to choose, I’d want it to be him.’
Over the past few years, I’ve befriended many children from the Fasayen Subordinate Families, yet none of them gave me the same feeling as Rasifer.
That yearning to see only him, to admire only him—that’s what I mean.
The books called this feeling possessiveness.
Anyway, that’s not what matters right now.
“Father, I wonder—what ability does my jellyfish have?”
“I’m quite curious myself. Let’s have breakfast first and then discover it.”
“Yes!”
* * *
I devoured breakfast in one sitting and descended into the garden with unbridled confidence.
Grandfather, Aunt Cecilia, Uncle Nein, and even Aunt Violet!
Every family elder and everyone who could attend had gathered in this place.
Before them all, I proudly displayed my jellyfish.
“Tada!”
In truth, the translucent jellyfish hadn’t vanished—they continued to trail after me.
I still wasn’t quite sure how to make them disappear.
Surely I should be able to make them visible or invisible at will.
“Today I’ve finally awakened my Bijou! And my ability has also blossomed!”
The jellyfish descended gracefully from my head down to my arms. Then as I spun around once, they drifted away again into the distance.
“How beautiful. Congratulations.”
“Thank you, Violet!”
“Did you figure out what ability it has?”
“Well, about that…”
I stuck my tongue out slightly.
“I’m still not sure. I was hoping it might be able to shoot with its tentacles. Jellyfish have venom, after all!”
“Oh, with so many tentacles, it does look like an area-of-effect skill at first glance.”
The Curtain Jellyfish fluttered gracefully toward Cedric.
Among jellyfish, this was a specimen with weak toxicity, so it shouldn’t be a major problem—but that was only when I was awakened.
Cedric might actually be in danger!
I rushed toward Cedric and waved my hands frantically.
“You can’t get hurt!”
“Hmm, no, miss. I’d rather not experiment myself. Why don’t you send it to Kamin instead?”
At Cedric’s suggestion, Kamin’s expression turned incredulous.
“Well, this is absurd, but I’m a soldier—far better than some frail civilian. Let me take a sting!”
“It’s going to hurt so much…!”
“It’s fine, miss. Please send one to me.”
I glanced at Father and, seeing him nod, reluctantly sent the jellyfish.
It was the smallest one that had been coiled around my finger until now.
Flutter, flutter.
The blue jellyfish danced like riding waves through the air.
I watched intently, swallowing hard with nervous tension.
[The Earth Spirit King ‘■’ assures you that this is definitely a powerful ability.]
[The Flame Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ boasts that if jellyfish rained from the sky, you could wipe out enemies in one sweep.]
[The Air Spirit King ‘Shapasi’ expresses interest, saying that a large Curtain Jellyfish would be ghostly if used at night.]
[The Water Spirit King ‘Aurora’ regards you with pride.]
‘My ability that I waited five whole years for!’
Finally, the jellyfish landed with a soft tap on Kamin’s hand.
My heart felt like it would burst, and I took a deep breath.
“…”
But what was happening?
Kamin, who had his eyes squeezed shut, looked around with a bewildered expression.
“Uncle, are you hurt?”
“Oh, um. Yes.”
“…?”
“It just… tickles. Haha.”
Huh?
Then… it really doesn’t work?
‘Father is family and a powerful awakened one, so it makes sense he’s fine, but Uncle Kamin too?’
Hans, seeing my eyes widen in confusion, stepped forward.
“Let me try! With the one that has the weakest toxin. I’ve been stung so many times in my youth that another sting won’t hurt!”
“Hans…”
“Kamin is a strong soldier, after all! Perhaps that’s why it doesn’t work on him.”
But if I’m going to use it in combat, it has to work on soldiers too.
My heart sank with a heavy thud.
I had always believed so firmly that my ability would be something remarkable.
Father can summon sea dragons and even descend to the depths of the ocean trenches.
Mikard can construct the Colosseum, and Elzen can travel anywhere there’s a water source.
So as the youngest, I was certain to have something magnificent too.
“Ow, that hurts!”
Just then, Hans cried out as the jellyfish touched his skin.
My brightening expression immediately drooped again.
‘No, this won’t do. I can’t be happy when he’s in pain!’
I was floundering, unsure how to react, when Grandfather slowly opened his mouth.
“Are you certain you were actually stung?”
“That is… no, I wasn’t.”
“Indeed. You showed no signs of being stung whatsoever. Why resort to such theatrics?”
At Grandfather’s words, Hans lowered his hand with an embarrassed expression.
The back of his hand that was revealed bore no marks whatsoever. It was perfectly fine.
“Well, it’s fine as long as it’s cute.”
After the silence, Cecilia was the first to speak. Mikard and Elzen followed suit in agreement.
“That’s right, as long as it’s cute, that’s all that matters!”
“I agree. You’re already a contractor of a Spirit King, so it’s fine even if your ability is a bit weak.”
No, but this isn’t weak—it’s basically having no ability at all!
Boom!
Struck hard by the blow, I couldn’t find my words.
“I… I believed I would have a magnificent ability… something powerful and strong…”
Well, the power of the Spirit Kings isn’t something I can use frequently anyway.
I can barely use it a few times in my entire life.
“I… I wanted to be strong.”
As I muttered with a devastated expression, Iliad cleared his throat and poked the jellyfish curiously, while Naiad said there must be an ability I hadn’t discovered yet.
Though it didn’t resonate with me at all.
“Send the Curtain Jellyfish to me.”
“…Yes.”
At Grandfather’s words, I sent the Curtain Jellyfish to him with a sniffling nose.
The timid Curtain Jellyfish hesitantly approached and soon had its tentacles firmly grasped by Grandfather, trembling in surprise and quivering.
‘How pitiful!’
He has such a strong grip, yet he holds it like that!
“Even when threatened, it shows no reaction whatsoever. Its tentacles can’t penetrate the skin at all.”
“…!”
“Usually, the moment an ability awakens, its power becomes distinctly apparent… but a harmless jellyfish. Heh heh. How amusing.”
Whoooosh!
So… that’s what it was?
Then my jellyfish is just… floating around all bouncy and cute, and that’s really all it can do…?
It has no abilities whatsoever?
“Indeed. I recall that when my own abilities awakened, everything in my bedroom froze solid.”
Lewiwood murmured quietly.
Mikard then added his own comment, scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
“When my abilities awakened, the entire Fasayen Mansion got surrounded by a Colosseum.”
What was I supposed to do?
I didn’t want to believe it, but this seemed to be reality.
Just then, Iliad, who had been fooling around, suddenly raised his hand as if struck by inspiration.
“Oh, but jellyfish make great food for turtles! What if we just fed it to a turtle?”
Whoooooosh!
With that, I burst into tears and ran out of the room.
I hate you all!
