【018】
“Hic.”
I was so startled to discover that Lina could scream that loudly that I hiccupped.
It wasn’t fear, but the shock made me start hiccupping uncontrollably.
“Hic! Hic!”
As my whole body convulsed with hiccups, Lina quickly embraced me and patted my back soothingly.
“It’s alright, my young lady. You were quite startled, weren’t you?”
“Look at how she hides her lowborn origins.”
“Mind your words. No matter how much of a tutor you are to Angela, even I won’t tolerate it a third time.”
Why won’t these hiccups stop?
The Spirit Kings were furious in glowing letters, and Lina was snorting indignantly.
If only these hiccups would cease, we could make peace!
Anxiously, I covered my mouth with both hands.
“Matilda, listen.”
“Yes, most esteemed Miss Angela.”
“She has the exact same hairstyle as me. I hate it. Tell her to undo it.”
Huh?
“Come on. I want to be the only one with this hairstyle today.”
“…?”
My eyes widened as I looked at Angela with a genuinely bewildered expression, as if asking whether she was truly saying something so unkind.
But Angela remained resolute.
‘I apologized twice for bumping into her and even tried to dust off her clothes.’
It was Angela and Matilda who rejected everything.
So why should I undo my hair? Lina worked so hard to braid it this morning.
“Did you hear? The gracious young lady says she’ll let this slide if you undo those shabby pigtails. Do it now.”
[The Flame Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ protests that such a thing is unheard of.]
[The Earth Spirit King ‘■’ defends you, saying that pigtails suit our baby perfectly.]
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ advises that you mustn’t lose in this battle of wills.]
The Emotion Spirit King—it’s been a while!
As I tried to calm my bewilderment and carefully read the glowing letters, the Water Spirit King appeared next.
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ advises that if you yield here, Lina will also yield, and the Admiral will yield as well.]
That’s even worse!
Having heard the counsel of all the Spirit Kings, I made my decision.
I absolutely would not undo my hair!
“No way.”
Nestled in Lina’s arms, I turned my head away sharply.
“I won’t do it. I’m keeping my pigtails. Hmph.”
[The Earth Spirit King ‘■’ praises you, saying that’s right, well done!]
[All Spirit Kings in the room are now observing the situation.]
See?
I have Lina and the Spirit Kings with me.
So I’m not scared at all.
“Matilda, this child won’t listen to me. What should I do…?”
“She simply hasn’t learned yet, Miss Angela. Don’t worry about it.”
Matilda soothed Angela while glancing at me, then let out a snort—though it didn’t sound particularly pleasant.
‘Huh. Lina’s trembling.’
And her face had turned bright red.
Oh no. She must be really angry.
After a moment of thought, I opened my mouth as solemnly as I could.
“My teacher is Cedric.”
“Pardon?”
“Cedric teaches really well. I learn really well.”
I’ve never failed to learn anything.
The Carrot Class Teacher taught me so well too.
“Could it be… you’re already receiving instruction at the Heir Education Hall?”
Matilda’s voice trembled slightly.
Then Lina stopped trembling.
“That’s right. Our Miss Superti even has private meetings with the Household Master, you know? Miss Angela can’t even get close to the Household Master, can she?”
“That, that is…!”
“Miss Superti is an Awakened One! Miss Angela still doesn’t have a position in Viju, I’ve heard. Still the case, it seems?”
Somehow Lina’s shoulders seemed to puff up with pride.
Watching the huffing Matilda and Angela on the verge of tears, I tilted my head.
“Then, Angela isn’t an Awakened One?”
“…!”
“Ah, so she’s not… Chuuu got it.”
It would be nice to be an Awakened One and have a partner.
‘Oh, now that I think about it, I’ve never seen Angela during class!’
Matilda was a private tutor.
So do friends who aren’t Awakened Ones take separate classes?
“Matilda, because of this child my clothes got dirty and my hair is a mess. I don’t want to see Grandfather. I want to go to my room.”
Angela whimpered and clutched at Matilda’s skirt.
Matilda began to soothe Angela, while Lina let out a loud snort and swept past them.
It felt like a small whirlwind had just passed by.

Today my dress was sky blue.
It was embroidered with gently floating jellyfish, and I adored it.
And my hair clip was a jellyfish too!
“Where is Elzen?”
“Elzen is ill and cannot attend the family meal. The presence of another Awakened One accelerates the progression of his illness.”
“I see.”
I wanted to see you again, pretty brother.
Ever since we first met, I’ve visited the Library several times looking for Elzen, but he never appeared.
I thought I’d be able to see him today.
“Then what about Mikard?”
“Mikard is still away, so he won’t be coming today.”
“Whimper.”
I have two older brothers, yet I can’t meet either of them!
I felt a little disappointed.
“Child.”
“Yes?”
Just as I was feeling a bit down, the Admiral called out to me.
“Look here.”
“…?”
The Admiral, who had been clearing his throat, had been keeping his hands behind his back the whole time.
It looked like he was trying to give me something.
‘Oh, is it a snack for Chuuu?’
But we’re going to eat soon anyway.
As I stared blankly, the Admiral seemed uncomfortable and fidgeted.
“I’ve prepared a gift for you.”
“A gift for me?!”
“Yes. I’m not sure if you’ll like it, but… I heard you don’t have a stuffed animal.”
Now that I thought about it, I didn’t have an attachment toy. Though I did have comfort foods.
Even at the Kindergarten, when my peers carried stuffed animals around, I wasn’t particularly interested in them.
‘But still… it would be nice to have one!’
If it were something just for me, it would feel different.
My eyes sparkled with anticipation.
“What kind of stuffed animal is it?”
“A seal.”
“A seal!”
I’d never seen one in person, but I knew what it was from the animal encyclopedia.
My excitement grew, and without thinking, I bounced on my feet.
“Here it is.”
“A pink seal!”
The stuffed animal was incredibly fluffy and soft.
I hugged the toy tightly with both arms and broke into a wide smile.
“It smells nice and feels good!”
“Do you like it?”
“Yes! It’s wonderful!”
The Admiral looked at me and the corners of his mouth twitched upward.
“Good. Then let’s go have dinner. You can take that with you.”
“Hehehehe!”
Yesterday, listening to the music box lullaby while I slept felt wonderful, and now I even have a doll.
My chest feels so full of candy that it seems to make a soft, crackling sound.
Overjoyed, I bounced up and down again.
“I heard you encountered Angela today.”
“Mm-hmm.”
“Well done. From now on, wherever you are, never apologize easily or bow your head. If anyone questions your birth, shout that your father is the Admiral of Fasayen.”
Shout…really?
I scratched my cheek and broke into a silly grin.
Truth be told, I had completely forgotten about Angela until the Admiral brought her up.
‘Right, there was someone like that.’
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ says: My child, though the lack of impact is nice… and trails off.]
[The Flame Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ says: You can forget what’s unimportant, and vouches for you.]
As the shimmering text disappeared, my vision became clearer.
“Navy Admiral Diagon Fasayen and Superti Fasayen have arrived!”
A servant standing before the massive doors called out loudly, and the doors swung wide open.
And I… well, I drooled.
“Wow… is this heaven?”
“Yes, a fitting sentiment from a glutton. Eat plenty and enjoy yourself.”
The long dining table was packed so full of food there wasn’t a single gap.
And there were so many people, but honestly, I didn’t really notice them.
“Welcome, my fourth child.”
“Father.”
“Now that everyone is here, let us begin the meal.”
Listening to Grandfather’s words, I took a seat in the empty chair. It was right beside the Admiral.
And shortly after.
I had to lift my head, aware of an insistent gaze fixed upon me.
