Tiya’s Smooth Regression Life

Chapter 113

The attitude of the servants she encountered in the corridor was as kind as usual, but there was just one strange thing.

That was…

‘Why does everyone look like they’re licking their lips when they see me?’

It was their expressions.

Somehow they had peculiar faces as if they were barely holding back from putting candy in their mouths despite having it right in front of them.

“Miss, where are you going in such a hurry?”

The kitchen maid asked with a pleased smile on her face.

After turning four years old, shamefully, her pronunciation sometimes got muddled.

Even if her appearance was that of a four-year-old, her essence was that of an eight-year-old child, so she couldn’t show such an unseemly side.

Tiya carefully spoke to avoid making any baby talk sounds.

“To eat… bwead!”

But perhaps because she was being too careful, she ended up cutting off her words.

Tiya’s face turned bright red, but the kitchen maid answered nonchalantly.

“You’re heading to the banquet hall for dinner. If it’s alright with you, may I accompany you?”

Accompany her to the banquet hall?

“This must be your first time in the manor. You might get confused about the way.”

Ah, right! That was the setting!

Tiya, who suddenly came to her senses, nodded her head.

Then the kitchen maid quickly attached herself to Mia, who had been following behind Tiya.

During the short journey to the banquet hall, the voices following behind Tiya began to increase one by one.

“What kind of line is this?”

“It’s, ahem, a line to ‘accompany Miss Tina to the banquet hall.'”

“Then I should join too.”

“Look at those plump cheeks. They look so soft. If I could just touch them once…”

“And what about the way she toddles around on those short legs?”

“Even her walking is so spirited.”

Tiya’s group kept growing, and by the time they arrived at the banquet hall, it was already enough to fill the corridor.

“I’m going to eat!”

Tiya quickly ran into the banquet hall as if escaping.

Dinner was already prepared on the table.

As she took one of the seats, Rodion, who had been waiting for Tiya early on, asked.

“Tiya. Your face looks like it’s about to burst?”

“Ugh, it was an incredible attack.”

Who would have thought she’d even get praised for her walking!

Tiya rubbed both her cheeks as she headed to the dinner table.

Rodion, who had heard the whole situation through Mia, had just returned from the Magic Association.

He lifted up Tiya, who was struggling to climb onto the tall chair, and seated her on it.

Tiya’s face, which she had tried hard to calm down, turned red again.

As he cut Tiya’s food into bite-sized pieces, Rodion said.

“Fortunately, it’s a temporary side effect.”

It was welcome news to hear.

Both Tiya and Winter let out sighs of relief.

Winter had also been uncertain about what effect this side effect would have on Tiya’s body due to her ignorance in the field of magical medicine.

Relieved, Tiya finally picked up her fork and began earnestly chewing the steak Rodion had cut for her.

Rodion didn’t care that his own food was getting cold and watched with his chin propped up as Tiya emptied her plate.

Whenever Tiya got sauce around her mouth, he reached out to wipe it off.

Each time, Tiya pouted and made excuses.

“I have good manners. Really.”

“Yes, I know.”

Even though she seemed scatterbrained, Tiya was quite proper when it came to dining etiquette and noble manners.

It was probably thanks to Grandmother Bear’s rather strict teaching.

However, it seemed the four-year-old body felt clumsier than the eight-year-old body.

For Rodion, he was secretly happy that Tiya had become this clumsy.

It felt like he was partially recovering the lost memories with four-year-old Tiya.

Before he knew it, Rodion was concentrating all his attention on attending to Tiya rather than his own meal.

“Aren’t you eating, Brother?”

“Later. I’m full right now.”

The saying about being full just from watching probably meant this kind of feeling.

Only after Tiya had properly finished the last piece of steak did she realize her clothes were a mess.

Instead of making the same excuse, Tiya thought of a way to handle this embarrassment cleanly.

“It’s okay! Today’s humiliation isn’t mine, it’s Tina’s.”

At those words, Rodion paused.

He had heard from people that Tiya had made up a new name to hide her identity.

After thinking for a moment, Rodion wiped Tiya’s mouth and affectionately called his sister.

“Tiya.”

“Yeah?”

Rodion decided to tell her the truth now so she wouldn’t be crushed later by lies that had grown like a snowball, even though it might hurt for now.

“Probably no one believed it.”

“What?”

【What?】

While asking along with Tiya, Winter had a sinking feeling.

Telling Tiya the truth was something even Winter had hesitated about.

That’s how powerful four-year-old Tiya’s eyes were.

Rodion hesitated for a moment with a troubled expression, but soon steeled his resolve and spoke without hesitation.

“That you’re Tina.”

“…!”

Tiya’s face was colored with shock, but Rodion didn’t take back his words and drove the point home completely.

“Starting with the name Tina, it was too obvious it was you, Tiya.”

Winter, who knew that Tiya had agonized repeatedly to come up with an alias, shook her head.

Lev’s room.

Left alone in the room with even Melody having stepped out, Lev grumbled with dissatisfaction.

“Why is he getting angry? If anyone should be angry, it should be me.”

Since being kicked out of Valentina’s room, he hadn’t visited Lev’s room even once.

“Well, it’s not like we had promised to meet in the room anyway.”

Only then did Lev realize that his relationship with Valentina was closer to business than friendship.

So, rather than friends, it was more like a patient and caregiver.

Anyway, Valentina had something he needed to obtain by staying by Lev’s side.

“…Even when I say I’ll give him what he wants, he makes a fuss.”

Lev habitually touched his left shoulder blade and then stopped.

“Have you never really desired life?”

Right after hearing those words from Valentina.

Something surged up inside Lev, and he had planned to pour out his trademark harsh words.

However, the sudden pain in his left shoulder blade silenced him, and a strange lingering heat continued to torment him afterward.

It was different from any pain he had experienced before.

After a moment of contemplation, Lev locked his door and stood in front of the full-length mirror.

Then he lifted his clothes to examine his back.

Due to the position, no matter how much he craned his neck, he couldn’t see his left shoulder blade clearly.

Eventually, he even brought out a hand mirror to try to check the condition of his back.

Bang bang bang!

Just then, someone pounded violently on Lev’s door.

Since he had locked the door anyway, Lev paid no attention and adjusted the angle of the hand mirror.

The spirit mark on his right shoulder blade was captured in the small hand mirror.

He angled the hand mirror accordingly, and just as he was about to get a view of his left shoulder blade.

CRASH!

A thunderous sound of an entirely different dimension struck the door.

Startled, Lev dropped the mirror.

Through the door that opened with a small explosive sound, Tiya peeked her head in.

Lev hurriedly straightened his clothes and was about to lose his temper.

Or tried to.

“Ah, there you are. You were in your room after all.”

Faced with four-year-old Tiya, who looked just like in his old memories, Lev politely cleared his throat once instead of venting his anger.

“How did you open the door, Tina?”

Unlike before, Lev was quite enjoying this obvious charade.

Thanks to this, he could perform what he thought was the very ideal role of Tiya’s older brother quite convincingly in his own way.

“I opened it with magic. The doorknob wouldn’t turn properly. Is the door broken?”

“…It’s not broken, it was locked. Why do you think I locked it?”

Lev asked step by step with considerable patience, trying to discipline his younger sister.

“That’s what I’m wondering. Brother, why did you lock the door?”

“Obviously because I didn’t want to let anyone in!”

In the end, he couldn’t last long and exploded.
