Interlude Chapter 2: Grandfather’s Birthday Banquet!
Seasons shifted in the blink of an eye.
A chill wind brushed past, and before I knew it, spring had arrived once more.
My daily life changed somewhat after turning six—my study hours increased, for one.
And I gained access to a couple more events within the Household!
One of them was none other than—
‘Grandfather’s birthday banquet!’
Children under five weren’t permitted to attend, after all!
I gazed at my beautifully dressed reflection and broke into a delighted smile.
“Does it please you, young lady?”
“Yes!”
Lina, who had been arranging my accessories, beamed at me with satisfaction.
The aurora-colored organza dress rose well above my knees.
It billowed like a jellyfish, adorned with abundant ruffles that swayed gracefully.
The pink ribbon at my waist was quite long, and there were three more ribbons adorning my chest!
A sapphire brooch set in the middle made it look unmistakably precious.
With a beret trimmed in organza flowers perched on my head, the entire ensemble was perfectly charming.
Since this was the dress I’d wear to Grandfather’s birthday banquet, I carefully set it aside for now.
“But Lina! Tell me, what would be a good gift for Grandfather’s birthday?”
“Hmm, wouldn’t conveying your feelings be best?”
“Feelings… but Grandfather doesn’t understand what feelings are.”
My pronunciation had become quite clear by now.
I felt proud enough to pat my own head.
“That is… true.”
Lina looked troubled as she folded my clothes.
I’d actually asked Father about this too, and he gave the same answer.
‘That old man only cares for expensive things.’
To be precise, that’s how he phrased it.
But I didn’t have enough money to buy something expensive enough to satisfy Grandfather!
Grandfather’s tastes were extremely particular, and his eye for art was so refined that whatever I purchased would surely fall short.
And if I made a flower crown to give him, he’d just pass it along to someone else.
The reason I was deliberating so seriously was because of a special event held during Grandfather’s birthday banquet.
Each year, Grandfather selected his favorite gift from among those given by family members and bestowed a special privilege.
That privilege was a seven-day trip to the resort of Sineria the following year!
And one could select exactly three people to accompany them.
‘Empowering the household members and cultivating good character, I suppose.’
…or so Father said.
In any case, I really wanted to visit Sineria!
[The Water Spirit King, Aurora, smiles.]
[The seas of Sineria have a different charm than this place. Truly beautiful—so much so that one would wish to live there forever.]
I’m so curious, Mother!
[The Water Spirit King, Aurora, adds her thoughts.]
[Moreover, Sineria is home to a species of mermaid found only in the Sineria Waters.]
‘Really?!’
Then I might be able to make new mermaid friends there!
I was already so excited that my bottom wiggled with anticipation.
But here’s the thing—I can only go there if I win the competition.
The anxiety made me swallow hard, gulp after gulp.
[The Water Spirit King, Aurora, mentions that besides the mermaid species, you can encounter pods of sperm whales.]
Pods of sperm whales?!
[The Water Spirit King, Aurora, continues her lesson.]
[The Fasayen Mansion’s sea has humpback whales. In Sineria, there are two pods of sperm whales. One is led by a whale named Batori, and the other by a whale named Jaylin.]
Among whales, the eldest grandmother is the matriarch of her pod.
I’m not sure if whales have names in their own language, but since humans can’t understand that, we’ve given them names in our fashion.
‘I want to meet them, the sperm whales.’
They’re quite different from the orcas that occasionally visit or the humpback whales that are always around.
I’ve never actually seen a sperm whale before.
[The Luck Spirit King, ‘■■■■■■’, offers advice.]
[What Grandfather can take pride in isn’t actually expensive things. Those are already piled up in abundance.]
‘Is that so?’
[The Luck Spirit King, ‘■■■■■■’, declares with confidence.]
[Once you become a ‘Grandfather,’ your shoulders naturally puff up with pride in your grandchildren. How about giving him a gift worth bragging about elsewhere?]
Since these words come from none other than the Luck Spirit King himself, I feel reassured. I have faith in this.
That was when it happened.
Quest!
My grandchild is the best!
The Luck Spirit King has assigned you a task!

★You did wonderfully★ Stamp x1
This time, a Quest appeared with no particular deadline, precautions, or penalties.
It was the Luck Spirit King’s consideration.
‘I’ll do my best.’
After about an hour of scratching my head and groaning.
I asked Lina to bring me some crayons.
‘I’ll paint a portrait with all my heart!’
And I should write a letter in the ancient language too.
A six-year-old who can speak the ancient language is quite rare, after all?!
‘This will surely become something Grandfather can be proud of.’
I wasn’t certain it would work, but I resolved to give it my absolute best effort.
And the rest, I would have to entrust to the Luck Spirit King!
Surely they would lend me a little assistance?
