Tiya’s Smooth Regression Life

Chapter 112

Four-year-old Tiya, pleading with tears welling up in her eyes, was powerful.

In the end, Mia agreed to Tiya’s request on the condition that she would tell the truth to those who absolutely needed to know about this situation: Count Valoz and Rodion.

Unlike the impassive Count, Rodion immediately clutched his forehead.

Then he sent someone straight to the Magic Association to resolve this situation.

While those who knew the truth were stamping their feet anxiously.

Anyway, Tiya felt relieved that she didn’t have to reveal her identity.

However, it was natural that the manor staff’s gazes were focused on the child in Mia’s arms.

Mia awkwardly opened her mouth as they had rehearsed beforehand.

“This is… a very, very distant relative of Miss Tiya… Miss Tina.”

No, anyone could see it was Miss Astiya.

Anyone who had met Tiya would think so, but.

“I’m Tina!”

In front of the four-year-old child who proudly introduced herself with her hands on her hips, they couldn’t bring themselves to speak up.

Mia stood behind Tiya, pleading with desperate gestures and looks.

‘Pretend you don’t know! You absolutely must pretend you don’t know!’

To survive as employees of a noble house, especially in Vladijef, exceptional intuition was essential.

The employees who immediately grasped the situation from Mia’s eye signals nodded to her.

“Welcome, Miss Tina!”

Each time, Tiya stroked her forehead and sighed in relief.

“Phew, I got through it safely!”

【…It’s not safe at all.】

She had always been a bit slow, but the intuition that had begun to sprout while staying with Winter seemed to have been completely trampled by the side effects of the magic potion.

【You didn’t get through the situation safely, everyone is just going along with you!】

It was when Winter faced Tiya directly to make her aware of reality.

“Winter?”

She knew that whether four or eight years old, the essence was ultimately the same.

But unlike before, when four-year-old Tiya looked up at her with that peek-a-boo gaze, Winter found herself speechless.

【Sigh… never mind.】

It was the moment she understood why the employees had groveled like people with their weaknesses exposed.

However, there was someone who was immune to Tiya’s eye attack.

“Corn…?”

Lev, who had rushed over as soon as he heard the news from Melody, also recognized her identity the moment he saw Tiya.

Tiya confidently introduced herself as she had been doing.

“I’m not Tiya, I’m Tina. Tina… Sister is undergoing hellish training at Morning Star Tower, so she can’t come home for a while.”

Tiya inwardly praised herself for what she thought was a quite plausible lie, but it didn’t work on Lev.

Despite Mia’s intense eye signal support, Lev said sarcastically.

“What nonsense are you spouting? You’re Cor- mmph!”

That’s when it happened.

Valentina’s hand suddenly popped out from behind Lev and covered his mouth.

After whispering something to Lev, he stood in front of Tiya.

Valentina’s face looked confused.

“…Tina?”

“Yeah!”

As expected, I knew Valen would understand! Tiya nodded her head vigorously.

After pondering something for a moment, Valentina knelt down to meet Tiya’s eye level.

Then he extended his hand and smiled brilliantly.

“Please take care of me from now on, Tina. I’m Tiya’s best friend in the whole world.”

【That face looks one hundred percent like it has ulterior motives.】

Winter was quite suspicious, but only the words “best friend in the whole world” were spinning around in Tiya’s head.

Tiya quickly grabbed Valentina’s hand with both hands and shouted.

“The prettiest friend in the whole world!”

* * *

“Hey, you don’t actually believe that nonsense, do you? She’s obviously Corn no matter how you look at it!”

In Valentina’s room.

Lev, who had followed him, was chattering away, but Valentina didn’t even pretend to listen.

Of course, he hadn’t believed Tiya’s words at face value.

It was a known fact to everyone that Tiya was a mage.

So when he saw Tiya had become four years younger, he was surprised but assumed it was magic.

However, he noticed that Tiya seemed to want to hide her identity, so he played along appropriately.

“And Tina, really. It’s the first time I’ve heard such a name where everything starts with ‘Ti’.”

But what was immediately important to Valentina wasn’t why Tiya had become younger.

What dominated Valentina’s mind right now was a certain hypothesis.

If there was magic that could make someone younger…

“The employees too. They’re so accommodating that’s why she’s so clueless about the world.”

Conversely, wouldn’t there also be magic that could make someone older?

And Valentina could too easily imagine what Tiya would look like about ten years older.

‘I thought we would never meet again.’

Valentina touched the area around his heart.

He couldn’t distinguish whether his heart was beating faster than usual due to impatience, anxiety, or… perhaps a very slight joy.

“Hey, are you listening to me?”

Valentina, who had been half-listening to Lev all along, turned to look at him.

The next moment, Lev got goosebumps from the pretty smile on that face.

“What, what is it? Why are you smiling like that!”

“Lev, you need to read the room.”

“What, what?”

Lev unconsciously looked around.

Valentina only called him in such an artificial and cringeworthy way when there were third parties around.

Naturally, there were only the two of them here.

Nevertheless, Valentina spoke in a gentle tone without losing his external smile.

“And no matter how close we are, how can you just barge into a lady’s room? I want to rest now, so please leave.”

Lev rubbed his goosebump-covered arms and shuddered.

“Ah damn, why are you acting like this again!”

However, Valentina’s intention was firm. He pushed Lev’s back and drove him straight out of the room.

Bang! The door slammed shut violently in front of Lev.

Lev, who had kicked others out plenty but had never been kicked out himself, looked up at Valentina’s room door with a bewildered face.

Then, following Valentina’s advice to read the room, he quickly asked.

“Hey… are you still angry about what happened earlier?”

“…”

“I should be the one who’s angry, you know? If someone shows you kindness, you should know how to accept it!”

“…”

“Who wanted to die-!”

Lev, who had shouted in anger, stopped mid-sentence and clamped his mouth shut.

After glaring at the door in front of him for a while, Lev irritably kicked the door hard.

Bang!

After confirming that the door still wouldn’t open, he turned around and left.

“Fine, fine! I’m an idiot for worrying about you.”

* * *

Originally, when a child was born, there were many things that needed to be taken care of.

From clothes to furniture for children, there were many new things needed for four-year-old Tiya, but there was no need to purchase them separately.

“Miss, you’re so, so cute!”

Mia exclaimed with an excited, slightly cracked voice.

Tiya looked at herself in the mirror wearing a bright yellow dress.

Except for the cheerful color like a chick and the excessively attached ribbons, it was a dress with no special features, but the single fact that it was a four-year-old child’s clothing boasted perfect cuteness.

At Mia’s praise, Tiya blushed while touching the soft ribbon ends.

Tiya had seen this dress before.

“It’s fortunate that all of Miss’s childhood clothes and belongings remain intact.”

This was a dress that Tiya used to wear frequently before leaving for the North.

Back then, she just wore whatever they put on her. It seemed like there was no one who praised her from the side like this.

Suddenly, Tiya was captivated by the feeling of returning to four years ago, when she was four years old.

To that time when she desperately tried to become a good child who wouldn’t cry to receive adults’ attention.

Then her mood became infinitely melancholy. She also remembered the situation in the North and Grandmother Bear that she had tried not to think about.

“Don’t you like it?”

“No no. I like it.”

Tiya tried to shake off her gloominess and got up.

And the moment she stepped out the door.

“Oh my, the dress really suits you well!”

“Miss. Is there anything uncomfortable?”

“The head chef said he’s preparing a nutritional diet suitable for Miss’s age.”

People’s attention poured from all sorts of places.
