【Interlude 2】
Frustrated…?
Not understanding what he meant, I stared blankly until Father cleared his throat.
“Anger flared up, so I just…”
“Just what?!”
“Shattered the Office window.”
“Wha—?!”
I was so shocked that all drowsiness vanished instantly!
Clutching my dolls tightly, I leaned in to hear this fascinating story.
“Then Grandfather laughed heartily.”
“…He found that amusing?”
“He saw it as a fun prank. Of course, I was furious at myself for not landing any real damage back then.”
“Ah… wow.”
I don’t think I could ever do something like that!
[Water Spirit King Aurora’s eyes grow clouded.]
[Luck Spirit King ‘■■■■■■’ mutters about teaching good lessons.]
[Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ seems satisfied.]
…Seeing the Chaos Spirit King pleased makes me think I definitely shouldn’t do things like that.
I sighed softly and listened to more stories about the accidents Father caused as a child.
“So next, he turned the entire Office into a sea of water.”
“Gasp—didn’t he get scolded?”
“He did get in trouble for that one. All the documents got soaked.”
Imagining it, I trembled.
I have no confidence in handling the aftermath.
Breaking windows… I don’t want to make Grandfather laugh that way.
[Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ looks regretful.]
Don’t be regretful!
“Anyway, he enjoys outrageous antics, so keep that in mind.”
“U-um, yes… Father…”
That night.
In my dream, I plucked a single whisker from Grandfather’s beard.
That was the most outrageous thing I could manage.
* * *
The next day was when Grandmother would visit the Mansion for the first time in a while.
The moment I woke up, I rushed into Grandfather’s Office and was startled by his appearance.
“Grandfather, you look amazing!”
“Heh, is that so?”
Grandfather, with his hair neatly combed back, wore a suit that looked brand new to anyone’s eye.
The white suit with fine patterns was quite dashing, though even today the shirt buttons still bulged against his muscles.
“Ahem, today marks our first meeting anniversary.”
“Gasp! Our first meeting anniversary!”
What’s that supposed to mean?
I feigned surprise, but truthfully, I hadn’t understood a word.
Grandfather, seeing my blank expression, chuckled warmly and patted my head.
He must be in an excellent mood.
He rarely does this!
“Have a wonderful time on your outing, then. Hehe.”
“Thanks to the lady, we’ll take things easy at work today as well.”
Behind us, Darius and Christopher sipped their tea leisurely, laughing.
Grandfather’s two attendants always bore shadows beneath their eyes, but today they seemed remarkably at ease.
[Indeed, a day without the boss is a holiday. (งツ)ว Even poor Upiros deserves such a day occasionally….]
Upiros flickered into view before vanishing just as quickly.
Behind the glimmering text, I could see Grandfather humming softly as he adjusted his attire, and in that moment!
A brilliant plan flashed through my mind.
‘Grandfather only truly feels emotion for one person. That’s Grandmother!’
So if I brought up stories about Grandmother, wouldn’t that work?
To transform Grandfather from dried jerky into succulent raw meat!
‘Hmm? That phrasing sounds strange.’
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ is giggling breathlessly.]
[Well, it’s not wrong. A heart like raw meat! Quite fitting.]
Sigh.
Anyway, with the Spirit Kings cheering me on, and Grandmother still having time before she arrives!
I bounded up onto my special chair and unleashed my ultimate technique toward Grandfather.
Clasping both hands together and gazing up at him!
“Hmm? Is there something you wish to ask?”
“Yes! I’d love to hear about Grandfather and Grandmother’s love story!”
“Hehe, I have much to say about that.”
How thrilling!
But the attendants’ expressions darkened slightly. Why was that?
“Well, Maliasa and I fought quite a lot.”
Huh?
“You fought?! Grandfather, with Grandmother?!”
Now he can’t move an inch in front of her!
“Indeed. There was a time when we both vied for dominance. It was quite exhilarating, though….”
Grandfather’s gaze grew distant, as though tracing the past.
“You see, this old man had never lost once in his entire life. Yet before my Companion, I found myself constantly yielding. As time passed, I came to despise that version of myself.”
“I see.”
“Maliasa was no ordinary woman either, so we clashed endlessly. There was even a period of about a year when we didn’t see each other’s faces.”
“Wow.”
I want to get along well with my Companion.
I never dreamed we could fight to the point of not meeting at all.
“But when Maliasa, who I thought would yield first, didn’t even contact me… I nearly went mad.”
“Didn’t you know where Grandmother was?”
“I knew, of course. She left the Household, but I kept track of her movements. However, one day, Maliasa simply vanished.”
Grandfather let out a sigh. The advisors standing behind him seized the moment to chime in.
“That must have been terribly difficult for you.”
“Heh heh, I remember when the Household Master turned Fasayen upside down.”
“We sweated blood trying to find her.”
“Indeed. And then he became a recluse, refusing to do any work whatsoever…”
The words came in turn from Rondel, Darius, Christopher, and Hale.
Especially Hale—it seemed like he was grinding his teeth!
“Ahem, even this old man had his youth, you know.”
“Grandfather didn’t work?!”
Good heavens.
Father was someone who worked even when windows were shattered.
“When I finally concluded she must have gone abroad, unable to be found… Maliasa returned like a miracle and stood before me.”
“My goodness.”
“And she picked up an empty bottle rolling around and smashed my head with it.”
“What?!”
Wait, just a moment.
I think I just heard an absolutely extraordinary story!
“Heh heh, how terrified the Lady was at that moment…”
“That’s right. I still have nightmares about that day sometimes.”
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ is chuckling.]
[The scene of the Lady smashing the Household Master’s head… it’s truly unforgettable. A masterpiece, really.]
Please don’t enjoy only these kinds of things, Chaos Spirit King…
“I still remember what Maliasa said that day. ‘Get your head straight, you worthless fool!’ she said.”
That was when it happened.
“More precisely, she said it was ridiculous how I claimed the Household was more precious than myself, yet I was destroying it.”
The door opened, and Grandmother appeared.
Maliasa Fasayen.
The mistress of this Household and Grandfather’s one and only Companion.
Today too, with her white hair neatly braided and draped to one side, Grandmother gazed at Grandfather with keen, vivid blue-violet eyes.
“How pathetic he was—I even questioned whether I could spend a lifetime with this man.”
“Grandmother!”
“Yes, my youngest grandchild.”
I climbed down from my chair and rushed over to Grandmother, embracing her tightly.
Since I don’t see her often, I have to hold her close when she visits.
“Were you telling stories about our courtship days?”
“We were.”
“Well, I wonder why you keep bringing up old stories now that we’re both getting on in years.”
“Because you were so beautiful back then. In my memory, you’re forever frozen in that moment.”
Grandfather pulled Grandmother into a tight embrace.
I nearly got crushed between them, coughing frantically before I hastily escaped.
“So our little one is curious about an old couple’s love story?”
“Yes!”
As Grandfather refused to let go and tried to kiss her, Grandmother pushed him away with one hand.
“Well, there’s nothing particularly special about it. It’s just that Galiazard became obedient after that day. Even when I’d mention going on a trip, he’d fret and fuss—it was rather annoying, actually.”
“Heh, you’re the one who vanishes whenever you get the chance.”
“Do you have a complaint?”
“Not exactly, but….”
I always find it fascinating—what a Companion truly means.
Grandfather can’t even move a muscle against Grandmother!
‘Then will my Companion be like that too?’
