What is that?!
Wondering if it might be a good idea, I looked toward Grandfather. He seemed to consider something for a moment before solemnly granting his permission.
“You should become closer to one another anyway. However.”
However?
“Since we’ve all gathered here, I’d like to hear your thoughts. What would you like to see added to this year’s Pelun Festival?”
Not understanding what he meant, I remained silent for the moment. Then Lewiwood set down his teacup first.
“The Pelun Spring Festival attracts many visitors from outside, so I believe we should strengthen security significantly. I recommend increasing the number of guards by more than half compared to last year, with them moving discreetly in civilian clothes to maintain order.”
“Ah, so they would blend into the festival crowds?”
“Yes. As you know, Belarion has produced more than 40% additional homunculi compared to previous years. I don’t believe they won’t attempt to infiltrate Pelun this time.”
It was quite a difficult discussion, but I nodded along, pretending to understand.
“Good. It’s best to prevent problems before they arise. Then I think Mikard should take charge of that matter. Will you do so?”
“Of course, Grandfather. I’ll handle it.”
“Excellent. Follow Diagon’s orders, but Mikard, you think through the details yourself.”
I don’t know what it all means, but my older brothers are so impressive.
‘So this is a place where people share their opinions!’
Then… then I have something to say too!
I set down my cup and clutched my head, groaning as I thought hard.
Something had just come to mind, but I didn’t know how to explain it properly.
“Now then, Mikard. Why don’t you share your thoughts as well?”
“I just wish there were something more dynamic. It’s called the Spring Festival, but the weather is already like summer. I think it would be better to have more activities at the sea.”
As Mikard said this, he fanned himself with his hand.
This underground chamber was cool, but seeing him do that made me think he must run hot.
“Regarding that, I think Lewiwood should decide. You need to learn administrative duties as well.”
“Yes, Household Master.”
“Thanks to both of you, the territory’s people and visitors alike will have a safer and more enjoyable time.”
Wait, surely he’s not going to skip asking me?
‘That won’t do!’
Growing urgent, I raised my hand brightly. Then I moved my lips and bounced my feet while waiting for permission.
“Do you have a good idea?”
So a few seconds later, when Grandfather acknowledged me, I could answer with a bright smile.
“What about a doll catcher game?”
“Hmm?”
“So like, there’s a big glass case, and you put dolls inside, and you grab them like this!”
I gripped a dessert fork firmly upside down and made a motion of plunging it down.
“You put in money for each try, and when you grab one, you get to keep the doll.”
I’m not sure why this suddenly came to mind.
But there was a scene that had flashed through my mind just moments ago.
‘Playing the doll catcher game with Mother.’
Mother was incredibly good at it. So whenever I’d put in ten thousand won, I’d end up with three dolls…
‘Huh?’
Mother?
I stared blankly into the empty air.
So I had a mother too!
The scene that had just surfaced was relatively vivid, allowing me to dwell on it for a long time.
“Oh, that sounds fun, doesn’t it? Older Brother, what do you think?”
“Hmm. It’s not entirely impossible. It’s a concept I’ve never heard before, but if done well, it could become entertainment for the children.”
“Right? I want to try it too!”
While I was lost in thought, my two older brothers exchanged various remarks. Then Lewiwood stood up from his seat first.
“I shall take my leave first, Household Master.”
“Very well. Your duties have increased.”
“It is my pleasure. If I organize this concept properly, I believe we can increase tourism revenue by at least 10%.”
That was when it happened.
Ding!
“…!”
I was startled by the sudden glimmering text that appeared before my eyes and the dinging sound.
[Oh my, oh my. You can’t just sit there! We need to establish credit! If you stay quiet, our young performer’s idea will become Lewiwood’s! ٩(//̀Д/́/)۶]
Upiros, who had suddenly appeared, made quite a commotion. Impossible to ignore.
[The Flame Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ enthusiastically agrees.]
[The Earth Spirit King ‘■’ urges you to claim your stake immediately.]
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ wears an angry expression.]
[Now, read along. Give me 10% of the total revenue for my contribution.]
The glimmering text overlapped and scrolled upward, making my vision spin.
But I managed to read that last part.
“Wait!”
“Hmm?”
Just before Lewiwood left the table, Grandfather looked at me at my cry.
“Well, um… for my contribution, I should receive 10%.”
“Oh ho?”
At my words, Grandfather’s eyes sparkled.
“And when conducting business, include Chuuu’s name too.”
As I confidently opened my palm, Mikard gasped in admiration. Lewiwood wore a subtle expression.
“And also, the box design should be decided by Chuuu too. Habdi, is that alright?”
Upiros’s crimson text glimmered right beside Grandfather’s face.
Everything that followed was information Upiros had provided, and now it was telling me what would be good if I earned money.
[When that revenue! Comes in! Five thousand! No, fifty thousand cotton candies! Let’s not let them slip away! ( •̀ᄇ• ́)ﻭ✧ Let’s become a clever child who knows how to secure what’s theirs!]
Fifty thousand? That’s amazing!
A glutton like me couldn’t possibly pass this up.
“Hmm, that’s true. Since the idea came from your head, you have the right to claim it. But 10% is too much. Since you’re still young, how about 3%?”
“No way. 9%!”
“You’re quite greedy, aren’t you? Let’s say five percent.”
Household Master Grandfather chuckled warmly.
I stole another glance at the shimmering text, and all the Spirit Kings except the Water Spirit King were nodding in agreement.
“Hehe, then I’ll take that five percent.”
“Very well. Lewiwood, bring me the documents regarding this matter afterward.”
That meant half, so could I eat twenty-five thousand cotton candies?
Thrilled, I wiggled my bottom excitedly.
“Wow, you’re actually haggling with your grandfather? This Tosil is quite something.”
Mikard, who had been staring blankly at us, let out a dumbfounded remark.
Lewiwood bowed and left, leaving only the three of us.
Munching on whale cookies while feeling oddly proud of myself, I somehow remembered that I still had more questions to ask Grandfather.
“Habdi, you know… do you happen to know the Water Spirit King’s name?”
“The Water Spirit King… I suppose I should say ‘I used to know.'”
Huh?
“According to the Ancestor Whale, the previous Water Spirit King vanished. And when a new Spirit King was born, the old name became useless.”
“I see.”
“The Ancestor Whale might know, though.”
I glanced at my half-eaten whale cookie.
Now that I think about it, I was curious.
Everyone kept saying I’d become a Resonant.
‘But I still haven’t met Grandmother who’s already a Resonant, and I haven’t met the Ancestor Whale either.’
When I asked Lina before, she said both of them weren’t beings you could just meet casually.
Especially Grandmother, who’s a Resonant—she wasn’t even at the Household right now, so it was even harder to see her.
“Do you want to meet the Ancestor Whale?”
“Really? I can?”
“She’s actually nearby. Maliasa wanted to see you once too. We have time today… will you come along, Mikard?”
Could I meet both Grandmother and the Ancestor Whale?
It happened so suddenly, but I was absolutely delighted.
“Should we swim there?”
“We’ll ride a dolphin instead.”
“Oh, it’s been ages since I’ve had fun like this.”
I knew a turtle, and apparently I knew a dolphin too!
I felt a little envious and looked at Mikard.
Shortly after.
The three of us were together underwater.
Riding on a dolphin, no less!
