【044】
A rainbow formed just as it had when Elzen used Water Movement earlier. Simultaneously, thin, transparent water columns that felt like flower petals materialized around me and my older brother.
“It’s beautiful!”
As I grinned widely at the golden jellyfish drifting inside, Elzen chuckled softly and manipulated the water, lifting me onto it.
“Don’t forget how grateful I am to you, little one.”
“…!”
“You saved my life. Without you, I would never have met my Companion. Joy is grateful too.”
In truth, I hadn’t done much at all.
The Emotion Spirit King had helped me!
But whenever I tried to say such things, only squeaking sounds came out.
“No matter what happens to you, no matter what you do, Joy and I will always be on your side. Unconditionally.”
That was… that was wonderful!
The water tickled so much I couldn’t answer through my laughter.
After bouncing me a few more times, Elzen took me back to the waterside.
“Shall we head back? Lewiwood is letting us be because he knows I’m with you, but if we’re away any longer, he’ll be upset. He’s quite controlling.”
“What’s controlling?”
“Someone who gets angry when things don’t go their way.”
Is Lewiwood like that?
He always seemed incredibly composed.
Perhaps because the Fasayen family was connected to water, most of their bloodline seemed elegant and quiet.
Except for Mikard.
“Elzen, someone’s there.”
That was when it happened.
Joy grabbed me and pushed me behind him, then immediately drew the short sword at his waist and gripped it in both hands.
“Whatever it is, if it’s dangerous, let’s get out of here now, Joy.”
“No, the feeling is ambiguous. It seems human, but… there’s no killing intent.”
Joy approached the thicket slowly and swiftly swung both arms to clear away the branches. But from my height, I couldn’t see anything beyond them!
“What is it, what is it? Is it that child I was chasing earlier? They suddenly disappeared!”
“Hmm, no. Isn’t this just an obvious trap?”
Elzen sighed and scratched the back of his head. Unable to understand why he was reacting that way, I scurried forward and stood on my tiptoes.
Barely managing to peek my eyes over the edge, I spotted a sister collapsed in the clearing.
“Ah, it hurts. I came to pick berries and twisted my ankle. Won’t some kind-hearted little rabbit help me?”
The sister, who lay there like a scene from a play, soon pressed the back of her hand to her forehead.
Beside her lay a rattan basket with berries scattered around it, so it didn’t seem like a lie.
“Chuuu will help!”
“Wait, Shu. That’s a trap.”
“A trap…?”
Elzen quickly grabbed me as I tried to run forward, clicking his tongue.
[The Earth Spirit King ‘■’ says to look carefully at the hand pressing against the ground.]
[No matter how plain the clothes or how well the headscarf is tied, delicate hands cannot be hidden.]
Oh, I see.
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ expresses concern.]
[That girl’s heartbeat quickened the moment she saw you.]
Why?
Setting aside my unconditional desire to help, I narrowed my eyes with focus.
The Spirit Kings were right—her hands were truly beautiful. Even her collapsed posture seemed to shimmer with light, and her barely visible lips resembled cherry blossoms.
She appeared to be around twelve or thirteen, an older sister figure, but if she wasn’t from the nearby village, what brought her here?
[The Flame Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ says there is no hostility from the other party.]
[Rather, it seems she came wanting to be your friend. I sense goodwill.]
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ expresses worry.]
[However, if that child’s household is the problem, it could be troublesome… but prejudice is never good.]
Reading through the Spirit Kings’ words one by one, I tilted my head in confusion.
‘Well, I like pretty things.’
Just as the word “delicious” doesn’t describe all flavors the same way, neither does “pretty.”
Some people are subtly beautiful, while others are brilliantly beautiful!
If Rasifer felt flashy by comparison, the epitome of brilliance, then Elzen embodied subtlety, cuteness, and delicate frailty.
And this older sister now… I wasn’t sure, but the word “elegance” came to mind.
Beautifully impressive, you might say.
“What brings you all the way here? Your cover’s already blown, so why not take off that ridiculous headscarf?”
“Oh my, I’m just an ordinary village woman who knows nothing?”
Beneath her smooth tone, laughter was faintly woven in.
“If you’re going to pretend, at least put away that sickle you’re holding to someone’s throat.”
“Oh, that’s just a greeting.”
Confused, I glanced around and gasped in shock.
The woman, who seemed to shimmer like a mirage, held a large sickle in one hand—and it was pressed against Elzen and Joy’s necks.
Did that beautiful older sister do this?
“Anyway, hello there, little one. I came to meet you.”
“Why?”
“Because… you were just too adorable!”
Huh?
“I absolutely love cute things. I love them so much that I keep them right by my side. Want to see portraits of the puppies I raise?”
“Portraits of puppies…?”
“Yes. I also keep five cats. In my Moonlit Mansion, they’re all very happy.”
So many puppies and cats!
Though I felt a little tempted watching her bright smile, I firmly shook my head.
“No thanks. I’ve heard that’s what people do—offer candy and try to take you away. I’m not falling for it.”
“My, how clever you are! Then I won’t ask you to come along. I promise.”
Looking back and forth between the unfamiliar older sister and Elzen with curious eyes, I glanced once more at the Spirit Kings’ words.
Most of them said it was fine, so I felt reassured and walked forward with confident steps.
“Ungni, wake up. If you stay like that, your mouth will get stuck. And put that sickle away too.”
“Are you worried about me? How kind of you. But what if I really were a monster that devoured children? Why would you show me such kindness?”
“No. Monsters only exist because people believe they’re monsters. You’re not a monster, Ungni.”
I recited what the Carrot Class Teacher had taught me with utmost sincerity.
That’s what the Carrot Class Teacher had said.
Everyone is born with goodness.
“Ugh, I can’t hold back anymore!”
“Superti!”
The strange sister’s embrace and Elzen’s cry of protest erupted simultaneously.
Swept into the unfamiliar sister’s arms, I tilted my head back and gazed up at her face, drawing in a breath.
“Crimson eyes, like rubies…”
Pristine white skin without a single blemish. Eyes with a subtle upward tilt and a nose as elegant as a brushstroke.
And flowing silver hair.
She was like a crescent moon incarnate.
Cold and sharp, yet radiating a warmth that pushed back darkness and kindled light.
“I hear that often. It’s nice to meet you. So you’re the one who disciplined Goliath?”
“Goliath?”
“Ah, you don’t know the name? You were kidnapped once, remember? He’s the fool who owned that Sack Grandfather.”
The sister rose to her feet and lifted me into her arms. The black-clad woman holding the scythe had vanished.
“Give me my younger sibling.”
Elzen protested, but the sister paid him no mind.
“You know I mean no harm. We get along well enough, don’t we, Elzen?”
“What does that have to do with you showing up here?”
“Don’t be so prickly. I heard you’d recovered from your illness and came to congratulate you. We understand each other rather well, after all.”
“Yet you summoned that black woman without warning?”
Wait, so they actually know each other?
The strange sister looked down at me and smiled warmly with her eyes.
“I am the third of the Belarion Family—Diolrose Bellarian.”
“Gasp!”
Wait a moment! Wasn’t Belarion supposed to be the enemy?!
[The Flame Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ chuckles heartily.]
[Not everyone is an enemy. Diolrose Bellarian has grand ambitions and a generous spirit. Making her your ally would prove beneficial.]
As the Flame Spirit King spoke, the other Spirit Kings voiced their agreement.
‘I’ve never heard the Spirit Kings speak so favorably of anyone before.’
But where is this lovely fragrance coming from?
“Diolrose Ungni.”
“Hmm?”
“Your scent is nice.”
Since the Spirit Kings endorsed her, my heart eased immediately.
Perhaps because of that, I found it difficult to reject this yogurt-like fragrance.
“I like Ungni too, because of this lovely scent.”
“Oh my.”
I burrowed into Diolrose’s embrace and clung to her tightly. I even rubbed my soft cheek against hers, and Elzen, who had been watching, let out a hollow laugh.
“Oblivious to danger, honestly.”
“Danger? I have no intention of doing anything wrong to this child. I came all the way here today to help you all.”
“What? No, fine. Tell me then. Who told you that Fasayen was coming out for an outing here today?”
Elzen’s brows furrowed.
Diolrose chuckled softly and placed her index finger against Elzen’s lips.
