【034】
Three counts, and hold for three seconds.
The Carrot Class Teacher’s words echoed in my ears.
It was then that the Water Spirit King suddenly spoke to me.
[If you apologize sincerely right now, I shall restore Viju’s seat.]
At that, I drew a deep breath and fixed my gaze directly upon Ricardo.
“You pushed these kids too. If you apologize, I can fix Viju’s seat that got hurt.”
“What? Who do you think you are? How could you possibly do that? My life is already ruined because of you!”
“There’s a way. So just say you’re sorry.”
I wondered if perhaps he didn’t know the word “sorry,” which was why he kept going in circles and blaming me instead. So I calmly taught him.
He might not have learned it, after all.
Ricardo exhaled sharply with a “Ha!” and raised his eyebrows. Then he stepped closer to me and whispered directly into my ear.
“Hey, do you really think you’ll be protected forever?”
….
“Just wait and see. Someone like you—without Mikard around, I could kill you in an instant.”
I had read many fairy tales, so I knew the word “wicked.”
This was exactly how a wicked villain spoke, eyes gleaming with malice!
Spirit Kings, I don’t have to hold back anymore, right?
“Watch yourself on dark roads. No matter how old you get, I will kill you someday… Ugh!”
Smack!
Headbutt incoming, crab-style!
I decided I wouldn’t listen to Ricardo’s words any longer.
Tensing both my legs, I drove my head straight into Ricardo’s jaw with a resounding crack.
“You little bell-ringing rat…!”
Ricardo clutched his jaw and staggered backward, his eyes glistening with tears as he glared at me.
Without hesitation, I charged forward and delivered a punch to Ricardo—right like this! A solid blow!
“Say you’re sorry!”
“Gack!”
Crab… punch?
Wait, what?
The moment my fist swung, Ricardo flew backward and crashed into the distance.
Crash and tumble!
The stacked wooden boxes collapsed entirely, slamming down on Ricardo’s head.
Even I had to admit that looked like it hurt….
“Is this… my hidden power?!”
Am I actually incredibly strong?
“My goodness, our Tosil is quite powerful.”
When I turned around, Mikard was standing with his hands in his pockets, whistling.
I wasn’t sure what was happening, but one thing was clear—I was strong.
Very strong indeed!
Emboldened by my success, I charged forward again and stomped on Ricardo mercilessly.
“Ah, stop, stop!”
Crab kick!
“I’m sorry! I said I’m sorry! Is that enough!”
Crab bite——!
“Enough. You’ll hurt him.”
Someone lifted me from behind as I thrashed about.
It was naturally Mikard.
“That’s far enough. You’ve given him a proper scolding. Show some restraint now.”
“Grrrr!”
“So you watched and heard how he squandered his last chance with his own hands.”
Mikard patted my back soothingly.
After huffing indignantly for a while, I belatedly realized that Ricardo had apologized.
“The Dunlus Family would do well not to complain about being wronged over this matter. As you know, I have little patience.”
“Ugh. But… but I am wronged! My Viju! The future given to me! I was even cast out… hic.”
“Threatening to kill my younger sibling, no less. Do you think I’ll let that slide? Since when did Dunlus gain the audacity to defy Fasayen?”
Mikard released his aura as he held his younger sibling, flushed and warm as a roasted chestnut from his agitation.
Young Awakeners without Viju are easily slain.
Eighty percent of such incidents were orchestrated by other families, with the remaining twenty percent occurring within the territory.
All for reasons of jealousy, envy, or internal politics.
Therefore, even merely suggesting harm to a young Awakener was classified as a grave crime.
Mikard pressed this point to crush Ricardo.
He even subtly adjusted his Awakener’s aura so only Ricardo could sense it.
“A creature like you shouldn’t be granted power. If I catch you mistreating the territory’s people even once more…”
“Hic, hic-ack! Hic-aack!”
“He’s fleeing before I even finished speaking.”
Tsk.
Mikard clicked his tongue and hoisted his younger sibling onto his shoulder, then began walking.
‘Dunlus will disappear soon enough.’
He could bet his wrist that a full report of this incident had already reached Grandfather.
Besides, Dunlus had been walking the path of decline for several generations now.
Yet because they were a founding family that stood alongside Fasayen from its inception, they were left alone despite their uselessness.
‘Ricardo provided the perfect excuse.’
Well, what happens next is none of his concern.
Pruning is ultimately necessary.
He was merely curious about how the territory’s people would treat Dunlus once they were no longer nobility.
Judging by what just happened, they probably wouldn’t even be treated as human.
‘That’s also none of my business.’
“Older brother, put me down! Let me go! I want to walk on my own feet!”
He headed toward the Parfait Shop with his younger sibling, who kept chattering away incessantly.
‘I noticed it from the moment I started haggling with Grandfather.’
The little thing had quite the temperament.
It seemed I’d need to buy Superti about three parfaits to appease her.
* * *
“When will my Bijou awaken?”
“Who knows? Around the average age, I suppose?”
“If it awakens quickly, that’d be great. Then I can protect it all by myself.”
A short while later.
The most famous parfait shop in Pelun .
Normally, one would have to wait in a long line and still might not get a table, but the two of them were able to enter faster than anyone else.
It wasn’t because they were from Fasayen.
The Household Master Galiazard strictly forbade the use of family status to exploit the territory’s residents, so even those from Fasayen had to follow the queue in principle.
But!
The child who had been shoved by Ricardo earlier and scraped their knees was the son of this parfait shop’s owner.
“Oh my, would you like more? You’re eating so heartily, little one. Hehehehe!”
“Mm! I wanna try chocolate too.”
“Right away! One more chocolate banana parfait!”
John, the parfait shop owner, who had stepped outside briefly to play the claw machine game because of his son’s pestering, witnessed and heard everything that had just transpired.
“So young, yet such remarkable spirit. That’s the kind of person who should become Fasayen, truly.”
She hid her son behind her and delivered a headbutt! A punch….
“Pfft. Oh my, my belly.”
Then everyone saw it.
Mikard behind the young lady, smiling faintly.
Whatever he did, he must have helped secretly.
It was endearing that she didn’t notice, and it was satisfying that the Dunlus Family—who bullied people on the streets whenever they got the chance—had their pride deflated.
“Ah, what a mood! Let’s bring out the melon parfait too!”
John’s hands moved busily.
* * *
How many bowls of parfait had we emptied?
My belly full, I wiped the chocolate powder from around my mouth thoroughly.
Mikard had gazed at the pile of empty bowls with a weary expression, having already given up by the second bowl.
I had eaten five bowls.
That was when it happened.
Floating, bobbing gently.
Something came drifting on the wind.
‘A soap bubble?’
But it wasn’t an ordinary shape.
“Wow, what is this? The bubble is shaped like a whale!”
“Ah, during the Pelun Festival, we make these special bubbles every year for the children. One of our branch family members has such an ability.”
“Ooh. Should I pop it?”
“Yeah. Right now it’s safe. But during combat, it becomes dangerous.”
Pop!
The moment my fingertip touched it, the soap bubble burst and vanished.
Finding it amusing, I went around popping bubbles here and there—pop, pop, pop, pop—with gleeful abandon.
Not just me, but several other children joined in as well.
“Hehe.”
“Is it fun?”
“Yep!”
After waiting a moment, I saw an enormous whale-shaped soap bubble drifting toward us from far away.
All the little ones sitting at the tables stood up together and cried out at the sight of a bubble as massive as a real whale.
“Wooooow!”
And I cried out for a slightly different reason.
‘Oh, that’s right! Now I can finally buy that!’
