Tiya’s Smooth Regression Life

Chapter 115

Winter realized intuitively.

That Valentina suspected Tiya was Seolpyo.

‘This is why I hate sharp-witted brats.’

Fortunately, there seemed to be no evidence, but the problem was that the opponent was Tiya.

Tiya was a child who would giggle and spill the truth like being tickled with just a poke to her side. Winter hurriedly tried to cover her mouth, but Tiya opened her mouth first.

“That’s right! Tell Valentina later if she wants to go too. She can go anytime when she’s with me!”

Not bad… she’s deflecting?

Winter narrowed his eyes.

Acting so shamelessly as if she had never been to the Forbidden Zone with Valentina.

Winter looked at Tiya with a surprised expression, then pressed his forehead.

【This kid didn’t even notice she was being tested.】

She even seemed to have completely forgotten that Valentina was Valentin.

But ironically, that saved her. Against cunning types like Valentina, Tiya was indeed the strongest opponent.

Valentina hesitated for a moment, then shook her head as if denying her own assumption.

“I’ll ask for your help if I need it later, Tiya.”

Fortunately, judging by her expression, her suspicion seemed to have lessened.

Next was Tiya’s turn. Unlike Valentina, Tiya never spoke indirectly.

“Valen, by any chance did you fight with Brother?”

If she had been testing, she would have been evasive.

When asked so directly like this, Valentina only had two choices.

Tell the truth or lie. To anyone else, she would have chosen the latter without hesitation, but—

“It just happened that way…”

Tiya was an exception.

But that didn’t mean she wouldn’t use dirty and petty tricks.

Valentina quickly put on a hurt expression and began coaxing Tiya.

“Can I ask you a favor? Actually, I want to make up with Lev, but I don’t know if Lev feels the same way.”

Valentina trailed off as if troubled.

At those words, Tiya climbed onto the bench to match Valentina’s eye level. Then she firmly grasped Valentina’s hand as if telling her to trust only her.

“I’ll do anything!”

“Then could you stay with me until I make up with Lev?”

“I can do that! I can’t go to the Mage Tower with this body anyway. And I’m definitely on Valen’s side.”

At those words, Valentina smiled shyly.

【That smile has some kind of scheme behind it.】

Winter shook his head disapprovingly, feeling uneasy.

* * *

“Hey. Let’s make up while I’m asking nicely?”

What greeted Valentina as she entered the room to bring Lev his medicine was an unexpected reconciliation threat.

Even at this tactless reconciliation request, Valentina didn’t panic and answered with a smiling face.

“I won’t make up even if you ask rudely, so go ahead and try.”

“Are you saying let’s see this through to the end—”

“We’re not fighting right now, are we?”

Just then.

Lev’s room door, which had been half open, swung wide open, and Tiya, who had clocked in for work today too, asked primly.

Lev hurriedly changed the subject.

“We never fought?”

Lev tried to show off unnecessarily to maintain his pride in front of his sister.

Tiya looked at Lev with flounder eyes and strode into the room.

Then she occupied a spot on the sofa that had somehow become her designated seat.

“Don’t mind me, just be comfortable.”

“Corn, isn’t that something the room owner should say?”

“Brother doesn’t say things like this, so I said it for him.”

With those words, Tiya and Valentina began chatting sweetly together.

“Tiya, it seems like you’ve grown taller?”

“Can you tell? Rodion said I’m growing really fast and the side effects are being resolved.”

“So why are you both here doing this.”

It had been a week since the two of them had been barging into Lev’s room from early morning.

Valentina was one thing, but the problem was Tiya.

Tiya followed Lev wherever he went.

As if she was determined to see him apologize to Valentina.

He never knew when an episode might occur.

It was a side he didn’t want to show, so he had tried asking Valentina for reconciliation several times to get Tiya away, but was rejected every time.

Only then did Lev realize he was in a dilemma.

Valentina had cunningly put Tiya forward to block his escape route.

Lev, who had been anxiously shaking his leg, finally stood up abruptly.

“Brother, where are you going?”

“Taking a walk around the manor.”

“I want to go too!”

As expected, Tiya eagerly followed.

Valentina was no exception.

So Lev set out for a manor walk with Valentina and Tiya trailing behind him like goldfish droppings.

Thanks to moving his body and exercising bit by bit during this time, walking around the manor once was now nothing.

His stamina was gradually improving, and he could feel himself getting better day by day.

The idea that this daily life might suddenly disappear… didn’t feel real.

Even though he had always believed he would die before becoming an adult.

‘Let’s not think about it anymore.’

As Lev deliberately emptied his mind while crossing the manor’s garden.

Tiya, who had been following Lev closely, suddenly perked up her ears and cupped her hands beside them.

A faint chirping sound could be heard from somewhere.

“Wait, I think I hear something over there.”

Then she pushed through the thick thicket where no path existed.

Lev couldn’t hear any sound. Her senses alone were no different from a wild animal.

An awkward silence flowed between Valentina and Lev, who were left alone when Tiya left.

Fortunately, not long after, Tiya’s urgent voice came from beyond the thicket.

“Brother, Valen! Come here and help me!”

Valentina and Lev moved immediately without either being first.

Pushing through the dense grass, they could see Tiya’s small back crouched under the shade of a tree.

“What is it, what’s wrong?”

“Here, there’s a bird that fell!”

Over Tiya’s shoulder, they could see a baby crow curled up on the ground, chirping weakly.

It was a young bird whose feathers hadn’t even fully grown, and pitifully, one wing bone was broken.

It seemed to have fallen from a high place.

Valentina, who had been examining the large tree casting shade overhead, said.

“It seems to have fallen from that nest up there.”

“What should we do? Would it be okay to put it back in the nest?”

“Seeing that no parent crows are hovering around, they’ve probably already given up on the chick. Plus with the broken wing, there’s no hope. So let’s just leave it and go. Touching it might make it suffer more.”

When Valentina spoke matter-of-factly, everyone’s gaze turned to her.

Lev, who had been pondering something, spoke up.

“If that’s the case, it might be better to help so the suffering doesn’t last long.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“…I can at least break the neck of a small bird like that.”

“Well. Setting aside whether you can actually do it, Lev, shouldn’t we ask the bird’s opinion? Ask if it wants to die.”

“I don’t need to ask to know. It’s better to die than suffer.”

“How can you be so certain about that? It might want to endure until the very end.”

The debate between Lev and Valentina began to grow increasingly heated.

As Tiya listened to their conversation, rolling her eyes back and forth, her face gradually filled with horror.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she cried out.

“What are you both saying such terrible things for! It’s still alive, so we can just treat it!”

Everyone’s opinions were divided over a single bird that had fallen from its nest and gotten injured.

Tiya didn’t listen to the two’s opinions and carefully cupped the bird in both hands.

Four-year-old Tiya’s hands were too small to hold the weight of a young life.

Eventually, Valentina let out a small sigh and took the bird from Tiya’s hands.

“…Let’s ask the doctor how to give first aid for now.”

“Yes!”

The two children hurried toward the manor.

Lev didn’t follow them and muttered with dissatisfaction.

“It’s going to die anyway…”

Even Lev couldn’t tell whether those words were directed at the bird or at himself.
