【007】
I got a little scolded.
An adult had told me not to put a fork in my mouth while they were speaking.
I actually knew that well enough, but something seemed to have possessed me just then.
‘But really, what is all this?’
After the meal, when I returned to my room, shimmering letters appeared in even greater numbers than before.
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ proposes that you perform the buttocks dance.]
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ proposes that you do something adorably cheeky.]
[The Spirit King of Emotion and the Spirit King of Water each beg me to show them what they proposed first. Ugh… … . ´ㅅ`]
Ah, I drooled.
I wiped my mouth with my sleeve, my jaw hanging wide open as I stared.
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ wears a stern expression.]
[That won’t do, little one. You must use a handkerchief.]
Oh! I thought the Emotion Spirit King was too busy arguing to notice!
Embarrassed, I laughed sheepishly.
‘One thing is certain, at least.’
These Spirit Kings adore me just like the Carrot Class Teacher and the Ssuksak Class Teacher do!
The teachers were always doing the same thing with me in between them.
“Upiros, come here.”
[You called, performer!]
When I spoke up casually, a shimmering letter in a slightly different color burst forth.
While the Spirit Kings’ text sparkled with a golden hue, Upiros’s was more of a crimson shade.
So I could distinguish them not just by their manner of speech, but by color as well.
“By the way… what does ‘the kings’ darling’ mean?”
It was only a word that brushed past, but I remembered it like the clever child I was.
[Ah, ‘the kings’ darling’ means the court jester of the eight great Spirit Kings who compose this world…no, not that, more like a peanut for entertainment…]
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ flicks Upiros on the head.]
[The Flame Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ shows displeasure, telling him to choose his words better.]
[The Earth Spirit King ‘■’ tuts disapprovingly.]
[…] Alas, helpless and pitiful Euphyrus no longer felt wronged. (yep)]
Oh dear.
Upiros seems to be getting picked on.
I rolled my eyes and waited a moment.
[Ahem, in any case, it means the Kings are very fond of you and will love you like a dear niece until your life’s end.]
“I see. Then that’s wonderful!”
Being adored is the best!
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ makes a fuss over how cute you are, telling you to look at that smiling face.]
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ boasts that my little one is like a strawberry glutinous rice cake.]
[The Earth Spirit King ‘■’ says that a pure life form is always lovely to behold.]
I don’t know why such a thing happened to me, but the more friends and teachers one has, the better.
I wasn’t the type to be easily startled, so I accepted this situation naturally.
That was when it happened.
Main Quest Triggered!
Obtaining the Title: Darling of the Kings
When all the Spirit Kings enter the Childcare Variety Show “My Precious Child Worth More Than My Own Eyes,” you will obtain a title. ♪(´ε`*) Puu-puu!
Let’s work hard to be cute and charming, and win over the Spirit Kings!
If you become the Darling of the Kings, both the Admiral and the Household Master will be delighted, they say.
.
“If I become a darling, will the grown-ups like me?”
[Of course! Receiving the attention of all the Spirit Kings happened only once, in the very distant past, close to the beginning of time. Before human history was erased… a tale from an age everyone has forgotten. So you would be the first in current humanity!]
Hmm, there were too many words—I couldn’t understand a thing.
I was nodding along as if I understood when it happened.
Lina brought over the cookie dough.
“Young lady, shall we play with the dough?”
“Mm-hmm.”
“If you work with this, I’ll flatten it into a circle on this pan for you.”
Soon after, Lina brought over a small table similar to the ones used at the Kindergarten and knelt beside me, helping with various tasks. As I became absorbed in mixing the dough, I forgot about what had happened earlier.
.
“Oh my, you’ve got dough on your nose. Let me wipe it off for you.”
It was just as Lina stood up.
☆Reward☆
Magical Sugar with Orca Energy 60g
This sugar cannot be used alone.
When you eat food containing this sugar, all the accumulated fatigue from overwork that has festered and rotted away vanishes completely.
Poof!
A bottle with an orca head on its lid appeared before my eyes.
‘The reward from feeding beans to the Admiral earlier!’
I quickly grabbed the floating bottle and gazed down at the cookie dough.
‘Should I carefully pour just a little?’
That was what I thought as I tilted it.
Whoooosh!
All the rainbow-colored sugar spilled out.
Oh no, what a waste!
* * *
Somehow, the cookies baked beautifully.
I followed Lina down to the Kitchen and waited eagerly in front of the large oven for the cookies to finish baking.
I could hardly bear how much I was swallowing my saliva.
Still, since I could eat plenty of other snacks, I was able to wait patiently.
‘Oh my, being so small… you must have trouble eating much, don’t you?’
The Kitchen staff who said this upon seeing me soon widened their eyes in astonishment.
Because I’ve been eating nonstop!
Even now, I was holding a strawberry-flavored candy that Hans, the kitchen chef, had given me.
Yum! So delicious.
“Hehe, what a little glutton you are. The cookies have cooled down now—what shall we do with them?”
“Could you wrap them up for me?”
“Would one bag be enough?”
“Yes, thank you so much!”
I placed my hands on my belly and bowed deeply—my head nearly touched the floor.
Immediately, delighted gasps erupted from all around.
“Gasp, wheeze… I have no regrets now….”
“Come to your senses, Chef! If you pass away here, we’ll never see such cuteness again!”
“Y-you’re right. I must live to see it.”
I’ve received plenty of compliments about being cute.
Still, hearing it again never gets old.
Grinning widely, I hugged the cookies Hans had wrapped in a paper bag.
Even though they’d cooled, they were still warm—it felt wonderful.
“Ah yes, this is the chocolate pen you mentioned. What do you plan to use it for?”
“To draw eyes on them.”
The cookies I’d made were shaped like little bears.
I’d use the white chocolate pen Hans gave me to draw round, adorable eyes!
The moment I said that, Hans clutched his chest and gasped again.
“S-so cute…! Please visit again next time, young lady!”
“Okay!”
“If only the other young masters and ladies would eat so enthusiastically… Sigh.”
I waved my hands cheerfully at Hans before hurrying back to my room.
I need to give these to my teacher before class tomorrow!
Running with Lina’s hand in mine, a sudden question popped into my head.
Lina is Lina, the Admiral is Diagon, and I’m Chuuu.
‘But what’s my teacher’s name?’
* * *
Cedric Hungerford.
He was the finest among the Fasayen Household Advisory Staff, renowned for his competence.
It was said that all information flowing into Fasayen passed through his hands without exception.
He was perpetually busy, overtime was routine, and he had no concept of days off.
Always exhausted, perpetually irritable, and naturally sensitive to boot.
That such a man had taken on the task of teaching the young Fasayen children was entirely due to their nature.
How disobedient this generation of Fasayen children was!
Stubborn, misbehaved, and already acting with unwarranted authority despite their youth.
They’d driven away every teacher who came, leaving them all with stress-induced illness.
So the Household Master finally sent a teacher directly from his own office—one the young Fasayen children would have no choice but to obey.
That was Cedric Hungerford.
There was no way Cedric Hungerford could enter class in a good mood when unexpected additional duties had suddenly piled onto his shoulders.
As if the work wasn’t already mountainous!
“…It appears the mission entrusted to Young Master Mikard has concluded successfully. Upon further verification, everything was wrapped up cleanly. All the spies planted in Belarion have been executed.”
“Very well. Issue the recall order.”
“Yes, sir.”
The Household Master’s Office was bathed in warm sunlight, yet the atmosphere was as austere as it could possibly be.
Even blood relatives dared not enter this space carelessly—in truth, it was a place feared by all who bore the Fasayen name.
The Fasayen Household Master did not see people as people.
Rather, he saw only the abilities they possessed.
In other words, their usefulness.
By that measure alone did he place them upon the judgment seat and render his verdict.
Before Galiazard, everyone was forced to prove their worth, and most were already intimidated by the very prospect.
“Speaking of which, how is Diagon’s second son these days?”
