【009】
Water, Flame, Earth, Air.
“These four are called Elemental Spirit Kings.”
Destiny, Chaos, Emotion, Fortune.
“These four are Primordial Spirit Kings.”
Oh, I know this!
The moment that thought crossed my mind, glowing text materialized before me.
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ clears his throat with an ahem.]
[That’s right, it’s me. Me!]
[The ◇◇ Spirit King ‘■■■■■■’ waves his hand shyly.]
[Currently present in 【My Precious One】 are the Water, Flame, Earth, Emotion Spirit Kings, and the ◇◇ and ○○ Spirit Kings.]
[But who are the Spirit Kings hiding without revealing their categories? Let’s find out! ⁽⁽*( ᐖ )*⁾⁾ ₍₍*( ᐛ )*₎₎]
Ah, so one of those Spirit Kings hiding back then must be here!
I was desperately curious about which Spirit King was peeking out so shyly, but I had to watch the blackboard and read the glowing text too… My eyes were spinning in circles.
“The primordial Spirit Kings were Chaos and Destiny. When those two first joined hands, Emotion was born. And when life was finally created in the world, the Spirit King of Fortune came into being.”
“….”
Still, the Teacher’s story was fascinating.
Soon I found myself completely absorbed in the lesson.
“To form a contract with a Spirit King, you must discover the King’s true name. According to the records passed down, each Spirit King has a place where their true name is hidden.”
True name?
As I tilted my head in confusion, my eyes drifted to the boxes in the glowing text.
‘Oh, those must be names!’
But I’m not very good at riddles.
Can’t you just tell me?
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ sighs genuinely, saying that’s impossible.]
[The Flame Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ encourages you, saying there are plenty of hints to find.]
[The ◇◇ Spirit King ‘■■■■■■’ carefully recommends a book.]
That’s right, books contain so many stories.
I know all the difficult words anyway, so I should read books.
‘But where do I find books?’
There weren’t any in my room.
Lost in thought, the class ended before I knew it.
The grumbling children filed out of the Classroom, but I stayed behind because I had something to ask.
“Sammi, excuse me.”
“Yes, Miss.”
“Where are the books?”
“Books? Why, they’re in the Library, of course.”
The Library?
At the Kindergarten, there were just a few books on a shelf. I’d already read all of those.
‘I’ll ask Lina where the Library is later.’
Oh! Now that I think about it, I never asked what Viju was.
Seeing the Teacher’s expression, it seemed like they were moving past the topic, so I let out a relieved sigh.
Just then, the Teacher gripped my shoulder.
“Young lady, would you be able to make those cookies again for me?”
“Huh…?”
“Please. Consider it as saving one person’s life. I’m begging you.”
Well, you see.
‘Chuuu wants to make some too….’
As I left the Classroom, I clutched my small head with both hands.
‘I used up all the sugar!’
How am I supposed to get more orca sugar?
* * *
As class was ending, in Diagon’s Office.
Kamin pulled a small box from his chest.
“Ahem.”
Kamin, making some sort of nasal sound, subtly presented the box in front of Diagon.
“Hmm hmm hmm.”
Then he made another strange noise.
Finally, Diagon set down the scissors he’d been holding and frowned.
“Put that away. The stench of sugar is overwhelming.”
Inside the box lay an ugly cookie.
It looked so sweet that merely smelling it was an ordeal.
When Diagon waved his hand dismissively, Kamin quickly shut the lid and tucked it into his uniform pocket.
Then his lips twitched upward.
“Oh my. Could it be… you didn’t receive a cookie?”
“A cookie?”
The young lady gave me one before you left for class. It seems you didn’t get one. Hehehehe.”
Stop.
Diagon’s hand froze.
For three seconds, Diagon replayed what he’d just seen, and realized he had never seen that confection’s shape or scent before.
At the same time, a wrinkle formed between Diagon’s brows.
“Why don’t I have one?”
“I couldn’t say. It seems the young lady likes me more.”
“….”
Crack.
In that instant, the quill pen he was holding snapped.
Yet Diagon didn’t understand.
Why this?
He wasn’t even in a bad mood.
It didn’t bother him at all.
“Goodness, she can’t even hear the word ‘father’…. Why do you have to intimidate her on your first meeting? That’s exactly why the young lady won’t open her heart, ‘Admiral’.”
Kamin chuckled, his expression suggesting he wanted to slash the Admiral’s salary right then and there.
But how could he, in his position as a subordinate to the Admiral?
Diagon rose quietly to his feet.
“…Your Excellency?”
Kamin called out to him with a trembling voice, but Diagon merely drew his sword with an impassive expression.
“It’s been a while since we’ve sparred.”
“…Pardon?”
“Training Ground. You have five minutes.”
“That’s—that’s so petty! You’re so narrow-minded!”
“Three minutes.”
“Noooooo!”
As Diagon headed outside, he glanced at the desk.
The paper crab he’d been folding just moments before fluttered mockingly in the breeze.

Back in my room playing with blocks, I suddenly realized the surroundings had grown dark.
‘Is it already night?’
Then I need to eat dinner!
My stomach felt rather empty.
Lifting my head with that thought, I jumped in surprise.
“Admiral?!”
“Yes, it’s me. What were you building?”
“A house!”
The colorful wooden blocks were brought by Lina.
I’d been sitting on the carpet building the house so diligently that my arms and legs had grown stiff.
The Admiral, who had been standing askew, quickly reached out and caught me as I swayed.
“I heard you asked to be taken to the Classroom.”
“Yes! Today it’s Sammi, so please hold my hand tightly when we go.”
“…Did you listen well in class?”
“Yes!”
But why had the Admiral come?
Could it be….
‘Is he bringing me a snack?!’
My spirits brightened as I examined the Admiral’s hands, but they quickly fell again.
Sigh, there’s nothing there.
My legs tingled, so I plopped back down on the carpet.
The Admiral looked down at me intently before uttering a single remark.
“Don’t I get any of my cookies?”
“Oh! Um.”
I stared at the Admiral with a bewildered expression.
Then I carefully pulled out the cookies wrapped snugly in a handkerchief.
“Chuuu only has one left. Just one.”
I’d completely forgotten I had these.
My stomach was growling—should I eat just one bite?
As I was thinking that, the Admiral stared at my bear-shaped cookies with such intensity I thought they might crumble.
Seriously.
His gaze alone could shatter them.
“Do you want some?”
Well, the Admiral said he hated sweets.
I asked just to be sure, and surprisingly, the Admiral nodded.
“Why don’t I have any?”
“Because you said you hate sweets.”
“When did I ever… oh.”
“And if you don’t get what you want, you cry really loudly.”
I answered weakly while glancing at the bear cookies.
‘I want them so badly!’
But the Admiral always gives me plenty of food and pretty clothes and shoes.
So I can share.
Taking a deep breath, I resolved to give them up.
That’s when it happened.
“If you give me that cookie…”
“Give it to you?”
“I’ll give you a new name in return.”
A new name?
At those tempting words, my grip on the cookie loosened slightly.
At the same moment, glowing text cascaded before me.
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ sighs and taps their forehead.]
[The Flame Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ declares this is underhanded.]
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ whispers to you.]
[Give the cookie and get a name, little one. If you hesitate here, Diagon will cry so hard, won’t he?]
Gasp.
I briefly imagined the massive Admiral weeping uncontrollably and went pale.
‘This whole house might wash away.’
Since the Handsome Uncle is so big, he’d cry longer than my kindergarten friends.
After hesitating, I finally held out the cookies.
The bear-shaped cookie wrapped neatly in the handkerchief was slightly crumbled with crumbs scattering everywhere, and one ear had broken off.
“This one’s ugly.”
“It’s beautiful.”
“Chuuu was going to eat it, so I only saved the ugliest one…”
“If you’re going to eat something, you should pick the prettiest one. Why did you choose the ugly one?”
