【098】
“Father defeated the monster and reunited with Mother, and they lived happily ever after in the Sea Dragon Palace!”
“Wow, that’s such a wonderful story, Miss!”
“Hehe.”
A month had quietly slipped away since that day of tremendous upheaval.
All those who had been turned to stone were restored to their original forms once we sprinkled water mixed with antidote on their heads, and Lina was among them.
‘That’s why she can play dolls with me like this now!’
It was joyful news, but there was also a sorrowful tale.
Daisy, who had been devoured by the monster, quit her position and returned to her hometown.
I heard she spent considerable time recovering in a guest room within the Mansion, her cheeks bearing many injuries from the ordeal.
‘It seems medicine cannot heal the terror-stricken memories.’
Still, I wasn’t disappointed because she came to bid me farewell before leaving.
‘Miss, I heard you made efforts to find me. I’m truly grateful.’
‘Of course! Daisy, you’re precious to me.’
‘For a noblewoman to speak such words… I think only Miss Superti would say something like that.’
Daisy set down the bag she’d been holding and embraced me tightly.
‘I won’t forget. Meeting a kind-hearted young lady.’
‘I won’t forget you either, Daisy.’
‘With the skills I learned here, I’ll open a pastry shop back home. Fasayen provided generous funding, after all. Once it’s established, I’ll send you sweets later.’
‘Yes! How wonderful!’
A pastry shop owner.
That’s what I wanted to become!
And so Daisy departed.
I heard that Kamin personally tracked down and found the hometowns of all those the monster had consumed, and since many families arrived from distant places to reunite, the Reception Room bustled with activity for quite some time.
‘And as for the next development…’
It would surely be Cecilia heading off to the Battlefield.
“Aunt!”
After playtime ended, in the afternoon.
I descended to the Entrance Hall to see my departing aunt off.
Everyone was busy, so I thought I should at least greet her with “Safe travels.”
[The Water Spirit King, Aurora, is pleased that her child has such bright manners.]
Oh my.
Mother, of course.
“Since you’re watching, I should hurry back quickly. Safe travels!”
“Well, if I can manage it, I’ll try. You stay well too, child.”
Aunt and Angela really did resemble each other.
The way they grumbled so primly was identical.
“When I return, you’ll no longer look like this. You’ll have grown so much…”
Warmth flickered briefly in her eyes as she gazed at me. Then, hesitantly, Aunt gently stroked my head.
“Stay healthy, little Crab.”
“Does Aunt call me Crab too?”
“You look just alike.”
Aunt chuckled softly, sweeping her deep navy cloak over her shoulder as she turned.
Beyond the entrance, Lewiwood stood bathed in sunlight.
Wearing the same clothes.
“Let’s go, Mother.”
“Yes.”
[Water Spirit King Aurora’s eyes grow misty.]
[I’m so relieved that Ceci seems to have matured a step further.]
But Mother, I don’t quite understand.
The Battlefield is dangerous.
‘So why don’t the adults come out to say goodbye? Especially Grandfather.’
If I were going somewhere dangerous, Father would certainly try to stop me.
My older brothers and cousins would probably step in and say “absolutely not.”
If I still had to go, wouldn’t they wave until I became a tiny dot in the distance?
‘Grandfather is Aunt Cecilia’s father. That’s not fair.’
As I walked with my cheeks puffed out, Mother sent me a sparkling message.
[Water Spirit King Aurora pats you gently.]
[Your grandfather doesn’t understand human hearts. He knows almost nothing of emotions.]
‘Then I’ll have to teach him!’
Because Grandfather cherishes me so very much.
Older Brother Elzen said it’s because I’m “useful” since I made contracts with the Spirit Kings.
‘Mother, since I’m useful, Grandfather won’t chase me away even if I visit often, right?’
[Water Spirit King Aurora nods.]
Perfect.
I made a plan in secret—though the Spirit Kings know everything.
‘I need to find Grandfather’s heart for him. He definitely had one, but he lost it somewhere along the way.’
One of my favorite fairy tales has this exact story.
A Scarecrow made entirely of metal wants to become human, so he asks his friend Clara to find him a heart.
Clara goes on an adventure and brings back a golden heart and a silver heart to give to the Scarecrow.
When the Scarecrow finally finds the heart that fits perfectly, he gains emotions and becomes human!
‘That’s what I’ll do.’
A child detective finds lost hearts too, you know.
“Miss Superti, where are you going?”
“The Kitchen!”
“My, what a blessed child you are today.”
As I walked down the corridor, Maid Aunt and the servant uncles greeted me with smiling faces.
I answered each of them in turn, then hurried toward the Kitchen with eager steps.
That’s when Upiros suddenly burst out, and I stopped dead in my tracks.
[Long time no see, young cast member!]
Huh?
[You filled the grape stamp card completely before, didn’t you? Since you haven’t used it yet, I’m sending you another reminder. Which Spirit King would you like to contract with? (ง ˙ω˙)ว ⁾⁾]
[Currently available Spirit Kings ▶ Flame/Earth/Emotion/Luck/Chaos]
[You can only choose from the Spirit Kings currently watching the Childcare Variety Show.]
Oh, that’s right!
I’d completely forgotten.
“Hmm…”
What should I do?
As I pondered, the Spirit Kings sent me shimmering text all at once.
[The Flame Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ reveals subtle anticipation.]
[The Luck Spirit King ‘■■■■■■’ shyly raises his hand.]
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ cries out: Me! Me!! Me!!!]
[The Earth Spirit King ‘■’ tempts you, saying that if you contract with him, you’ll be able to eat plenty of nutritious and delicious fruit.]
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ questions back: Of course it’s me—what else is there to think about?]
‘First of all, anyone but the Chaos Spirit King.’
The moment I decided that inwardly, the Chaos Spirit King looked dejected.
[Oh, and there’s one more notification! After discussion among all the Spirit Kings, a new stamp card has been created! Applause! ヽ(＊>∇<)ﾉ]
Gasp—I thought the stamp card was finished!
As I waited, a slightly larger stamp card appeared before my eyes.
[Tada! This time, the stamp card requires 30 'Good Job' stamps to fill it. Think you can do it? ❤(ӦｖӦ｡)]
'Yes! Of course!'
I gathered ten stamps so quickly before.
I nodded confidently.
[Great. Then… since you've discovered the Water Spirit King's true name, I'll stamp one right here for you!]
As always, the golden stamp gleamed brilliantly.
But what was different from before was that a number was written at the top of the stamp card.
[Ah, that shows the number of stamps you can currently use at the Eden Shop. To make it easier to understand, I'll show you with a 🙂 symbol.]
[🙂: 5]
'Wow, this is much more convenient!'
Delighted, I mimicked the smiling symbol and hurried off to the Kitchen.
"Oh, the little glutton has arrived. I was just making fried chicken."
"I want some!"
"Of course, I'll serve it right away. I was wondering why you eat so much, but now that I know you're supposed to be nine years old, this Hans understands completely. Hehehehe!"
Oh, right.
The fact that I'm really Luarel and that I'm supposed to be nine years old has spread throughout the entire Household.
It didn't cause any fuss when I revealed it.
I told Grandfather everything while sitting on his lap.
"Here you are."
"Thanks, Hans."
"Don't mention it."
I speared a piece of piping hot fried chicken with my fork, then blew on it gently while I waited for it to cool.
As I sat there, Upiros spoke to me again.
[To make it easier for our young cast member to check, I'll write all Quests on the grape board in a single line from now on. (❀╹◡╹)]
[Main Quest: Obtain the Title of Darling of the Kings (Achievement Rate 87.5%)]
[Alliance Quest: Discover the Spirit King's Name! (Achievement Rate 25%)]
When I took a big bite, the juices flowed out while the crispy, golden coating filled my mouth completely.
I chewed eagerly and reviewed the remaining Quests.
That was when it happened.
