【019】
‘Well… she’s Angela, for starters.’
Angela, seated diagonally across from me, glared at me before abruptly turning her head away.
She seemed to dislike that I still wore my hair in twin braids… but there was nothing I could do about it.
I was willing to apologize for my mistakes, but I wasn’t about to indulge her unreasonable demands.
Beside Angela sat a woman of terrifying beauty.
With teal-colored hair like the Admiral’s, her eyes were sharply angled upward, giving her a somewhat….
‘Like a marlin….’
The moment I muttered this to myself, the Spirit Kings burst into laughter.
‘They really are delicious when grilled over charcoal.’
I’m eating something delicious, but now I’m thinking about something even more delicious. How wonderful!
“You said yesterday that Lina taught you about the family tree.”
“Yes.”
At that moment, the Admiral placed a delicious piece of steak on my plate and spoke.
“The person sitting next to Angela is your aunt, Cecilia. The empty seat beside her belongs to Lewiwood.”
“The class representative!”
“So I’ve heard. Originally, that empty seat was where Cecilia should sit… but she deliberately switched places because she didn’t want to sit near Violet.”
Carrot Class Teacher, it seems even adults quarrel frequently.
‘True, being an adult means knowing how to do things you dislike.’
Aunt Cecilia didn’t even glance in my direction.
So I immediately turned my gaze to the side.
Directly to the right of the Household Master sat the Sub-Household Master—my Aunt Violet.
‘Wow.’
Her blue-violet eyes gazed at me intently.
Her loosely pinned pale water-colored hair and silver dress suited her remarkably well in my eyes.
Aunt Violet had an aura that was both gentle and strong, and there was something about her that was more… magnificent than anyone I’d ever met.
I couldn’t quite explain it, but the presence she emanated was truly magnificent.
‘And she resembles a water magpie.’
I absolutely adore water magpies!
That was when it happened.
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ explains.]
[Cecilia inherited the bloodline of Medusa in its entirety. Though she resembles a marlin, she’s actually closer to a water serpent.]
‘I see.’
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ recommends a book titled 『Sea Monsters, Supernatural Abilities, and Rare Species』.]
[If you trace the Fasayen family tree upward, you’ll find Medusa. Cecilia inherited her power, skipping generations.]
I understand now.
I finished my steak plate completely and reached for the bread.
Now I’ll slather it generously with butter and honey and devour it!
Angela’s eyes widened, envious of how eagerly I was eating.
Uncomfortable with Angela’s stare, I quickly offered her the bread I was eating.
“Shu…?”
“What? The one with saliva on it? I don’t… no, I won’t eat it.”
“Mm.”
Then I’ll eat it instead, why not.
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ regards you warmly, pleased that your child devours food so readily.]
[In truth, Violet’s pure ability is weaker than Cecilia’s. But the position of Household Master isn’t determined by strength alone.]
‘Ah, so that’s why Aunt Sailfish—no, Aunt Cecilia is upset!’
I’d probably feel a little disappointed too if I were stronger but couldn’t become vice-class leader.
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ imparts wisdom to you.]
[Whether class leader or Household Master, it’s the same. One must become someone wiser and broader in perspective, someone who doesn’t excite easily. Someone who possesses both cold reason and a warm heart simultaneously. Above all… someone who loves this Fasayen and everyone who dwells within it.]
To be honest, I was so captivated by the sweet apple pie that I didn’t read all the glittering text.
But I definitely saw the part about ‘someone who loves everyone’ at the end.
‘Yes, I’m going to become someone who loves everyone too.’
Even if I can’t become Household Master since I’m not a biological daughter.
But I can still become someone who loves everyone!
My mood brightened, and I swung my feet back and forth.
“Meeting you for the first time today… a daughter really is adorable….”
It was when the Admiral was brushing pie crumbs from the corner of my mouth.
The person sitting beside me spoke to me.
“…!”
Since their presence was so faint that I’d forgotten someone was even sitting next to me, I flinched in surprise.
‘Long chestnut hair and green eyes. They look like a willow tree.’
So, that means—
“Uncle Nein!”
“Sob, a daughter… are daughters really this cute just by existing?”
Uncle Nein appeared to be someone with very little vitality.
He definitely seemed to need some orca sugar.
Something about his drooping appearance made me feel sympathetic, so I quickly grabbed a cookie Shu and thrust it toward him.
“Please have some, Uncle.”
“Oh sob. You’re yielding your food to me…? Are you perhaps an angel?”
“Yes, I guess….”
Uncle accepted the cookie Shu from me with an expression of genuine emotion.
Then the Admiral cleared his throat from beside me.
“You call your older brother ‘Uncle’ so readily.”
“Mm?”
“I thought you couldn’t pronounce the word ‘father.'”
Ah, the Admiral is sulking!
I was rolling my eyes wondering what to do when Uncle opened his mouth.
“The child will call you that naturally once she opens her heart. Don’t rush it, Diagon.”
“Yes, older brother.”
“To think I’ve been blessed with such an adorable daughter… *sniffles*.”
“…Are things still difficult for you these days?”
The Admiral asked somewhat awkwardly.
Nein Uncle chewed on a cookie Shu with a gaunt expression, saying nothing.
“Dad, are you tired? Should I massage your shoulders?”
“Stay still, Iliad. If you massage me, your father dies.”
“Oh, really?”
“Mm-hmm.”
Hidden behind Nein Uncle, I couldn’t see, but I heard a voice!
Curious, I stretched my body and looked to the left.
There… there were twins!
I’d never seen them during class, so today was our first meeting, but I already knew both their names.
“Iliad, Naiad… uncles…?”
“Oh, Ned. This little one knows our names?”
Boasting an appetite as impressive as mine, the boy in front emptied his bowl clean and chuckled.
Like Nein Uncle, he had brown hair and green eyes.
His personality seemed so good-natured that I wanted to befriend him at first sight.
“Both are ten years old.”
“That’s right. I’m already ten. My name is Iliad.”
“I’m Superti.”
So Iliad and Naiad—the twins—were ten years old.
Angela was eight.
I was four.
Counting numbly, I turned to look at the Admiral.
“What about Elzen Uncle?”
“Elzen is eleven, and Mikard is thirteen.”
“Wow. We have more uncles!”
Feeling oddly proud, I looked back at Iliad and Naiad with a smug expression.
Naiad had pretty grass-green hair and green eyes.
Since they were twins with identical faces but different hair colors, they were easy to tell apart.
“Little one, do you like flowers?”
“I love them.”
Iliad asked so suddenly.
I nodded enthusiastically.
Then Naiad flicked his fingers.
“Here, take this.”
“Wow!”
What is this? How did he do it?!
*Whoosh.*
Blue vines emerged from Naiad’s sleeve.
The vine crawled across the table toward me, and soon a pure white flower blossomed with a soft pop.
The vine then tucked the flower behind my ear before slithering back to Naiad.
“Child, you know I’m adopted just like you, don’t you?”
I was beaming with joy when Nein Uncle offered an explanation.
“I possess an ability related to the plant kingdom—specifically, crops. And I married a wife who has an ability related to flowers.”
“I see.”
“Naiad inherited our bloodline directly and was born with a plant-kingdom ability.”
“How wonderful!”
I learned this in Cedric’s class.
Plant-kingdom abilities are absolutely essential here in Fasayen.
Because Fasayen’s soil is naturally high in salt content, crops struggle to grow!
[The Earth Spirit King ‘■’ blows a pleased kiss toward Nein and Naiad.]
“Then, what about Iliad?”
“Ah, Iliad is….”
Nein Uncle paused mid-sentence.
Then he turned to look at Iliad and opened his mouth.
“Hmm, it’s better to show you than explain. Would you like to hear it?”
“Yes, Father!”
But what am I supposed to hear?
