Chapter 14: The Wizard’s Tower(3)

“Ouch!!!”

“Alright… I won’t force you.”

You should’ve said that from the start! I was so nervous!

No, logically, how would a five-year-old know something like that!? I’m not a genius, you know.

Looking at me with a disappointed expression, I told her I had some things to buy at the Magic Tower, and she guided me to the souvenir shop.

They sell various kinds of items at the Magic Tower, and the item I wanted to buy among them was…

“This is it! The talking doll!”

“Our youngest is cute.”

It was a polar bear doll with various functions.

The first function is…

“Bear! Why are you here?”

[I lost my home and came to seek revenge on humans.]

‘…Scary…?’

After finishing the purchase while hugging the doll, I left the souvenir shop.

I said goodbye to my little sister in front of the Magic Tower and got on the carriage to head home.

‘I’ll visit again tomorrow.’

My little sister’s likeability is already over 80%, so I’ll achieve 100% soon.

‘I think my talent played a part, didn’t it? Because her likeability suddenly increased so much.’

That’s more important.

I looked at the polar bear doll I had bought and fell deep in thought.

People don’t know it yet, but this doll has a special function.

What did the first person who found it get at the time…?

I don’t remember very well, but she got some kind of mysterious creature.

I should find out the details by myself in my room.

I told them I’d visit again tomorrow, so I’ll come to get that tomorrow.

When I got home, it was already time for dinner.

As I entered the dining room to eat, Dad and Mom were waiting for me.

“Did our daughter come?

“I’m back!”

“Where did you go today?”

“I went to Liriel unnie today, and then to my little sister!”

The moment my words were heard, Dad’s expression darkened.

And Mom…

“Huhu, I sent a letter the other day, but there was no reply, right?”

It’s cold.

Extremely cold.

Dad was just looking around, and Mom was smiling to herself.

“I, I’m going to visit the Magic Tower tomorrow, shall I deliver the message?”

“It’s okay. I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

“…Together?”

“You, contact the second and have her not run away.
If she runs away, tell her that you’ll cut off her financial resources.”

“…Understood.”

Um, will it be okay tomorrow…?

I don’t think it will be okay.

Well, the me of tomorrow will take care of it!

“The story has gotten long. Let’s eat quickly.”

“I’ll eat well!”

I always think that it’s a happy mealtime with my parents.

Is it because I’m receiving love that I couldn’t receive before?

My heart feels warm when I see them trying to take care of me even more.

But, isn’t that also a good thing, and I should be happy…?

I can’t express it properly, but it must be good.

After finishing our happy mealtime, I returned to my room, and Anna was waiting.

“Miss, I have the item you requested.”

Anna handed me a black sphere.

I thanked her, and I sent Anna out and started the work.

“Bear, Bear, I’ll give you this sphere.”

[Are you really giving it to me?]

“Will you take this sphere and give me information?”

[Uhm, I think I’m at a disadvantage, but alright! My information is…]

Next morning.

After finishing breakfast, as soon as I was ready, Mom took me and got on the carriage.

However, the atmosphere was not ordinary.

“Our second doesn’t listen to what I say… I sent a letter telling her to come home, right?”

The approximate contents of the letter were to come and show her face even if she was busy.

But, since there was no reply, Mom was worried about that, right?

“Hehe, if we meet our second child…”

You’re worried, right…?

The carriage arrived in front of the Magic Tower, and as I got off, my little sister was waiting in front.

“Youngest, today…”

“Huhu, how have you been, my daughter?”

My little sister froze the moment she saw Mom getting out of the carriage.

Luckily, she quickly regained her senses.

“…Mom was worried.”

“Why didn’t our second come home?”

“I’m busy because of the research…”

“I heard that you were eating grass because you didn’t have money, is that true?”

“It, it’s edible, so it was okay.”

“Shall our youngest see the Magic Tower? It seems the conversation will be long.”

I went into the Magic Tower, leaving behind a scream of ‘Help Me!’.

Liriel unnie… Fighting…?

I went into the Magic Tower, and I checked the map I received from Anna to move to the ‘coordinates’ that the bear had told me.

As I moved according to the map, because there was a commotion yesterday, the mages passing by looked at me once.

There’s no good to gain their attention, so I moved like an assassin, moving secretly, taking advantage of the darkness. I’m kind of cool…

I was cool, until someone caught me.

“Oh my, did our cute little Miss get lost?”

“Eww!? Oh, no. I was going to unnie’s room.”

I said goodbye to the unnie passing by, and then a sense of emptiness came over me.

‘I’m embarrassed… Would they think I’m a five-year-old!?’

I arrived at my destination according to the map, and a large door was in front of my eyes.

As I carefully knocked on the wall next to the door as the bear had told me to, a small passage was created.

When I went into the passage, inside…

“Where did the youngest go?”

“She probably went to her room.”

The moment I was about to go to my room with Mom, I remembered.

That my room was a mess.

‘I’ll get scolded again if she finds out!’

“Why? Is something wrong?”

“Just give me a moment of alone time.”

“Open…”

“Wai, wait a moment!?”

“You’re here?”

My youngest greeted us, and the room was clean…?

When I looked at my youngest with surprised eyes, she pointed to her mouth with her finger and whispered, “Secret.”

“Oh my, do you always live this cleanly? I was worried, but it’s a relief.”

“O, of course. I’m always neat.”

My youngest looked different from the moment we met again, and now she’s so lovely.

And, she has exceeded the limits of human power.

The news had already come out in the Magic Tower.

There’s no way it wouldn’t.

She has exceeded the amount of magic power that a human can have.

Other rumors were also circulating because of that.

There was even a talk that she was a [Dragon], but does that make sense?

I saw the youngest being born.

And, I have to get rid of those stupid people who are after the youngest.

When I looked at the youngest smiling brightly, it was a feeling that she was my sister again.

‘My beloved sister, let’s research together next time.’

My sister’s likeability suddenly filled up completely, and the heart disappeared.

What is it…? Did she get moved by the room cleaning?

My unnie’s eyes towards me have changed.

The conquest ended so uselessly, but it’s the first time.

It’s only the 4th time, though…?

More than that, isn’t her ability too good?

A small girl sitting on my left shoulder right now.

She was a fairy and was a being that only appeared in legends.

She whispered to me that she was only visible to me, and I couldn’t hear her voice, but I knew.

She had various abilities, and one of them was cleaning the room instantly, just like a house elf!

With just this fairy, my cleaning worries are over!

…Is it too insignificant?

Even so, I struggled to get this.

When I entered the passage, there was a huge secret room inside.

And, in the center, there was a huge cage, and something was in it.

I couldn’t see it clearly, but I could tell that there was something white.

I looked around to take it out, but there’s no method…?

How do I do this!?

At that moment, I felt it. And I realized it.

How to open the cage.

[Covenant]

A voice that wasn’t my own voice flowed out of my mouth.

At that moment, the cage opened, and the being inside came out and gradually revealed its appearance.

It turned into a small girl, and cute wings grew on her back.

The being, who was waving its hand to me, looked as if she was happy to meet an old friend.

The feeling of “I know without you saying it”… Is this what it is?

And she introduced herself as a fairy and her name is ‘Elin’.

More than that, I have to hurry. I have to go to my little sister’s room quickly or she might suspect me.

As I was hurrying to go back, Elin pulled me, and guided me.

Surprisingly, the moment Elin’s small hand touched the wall, space was created, and I went inside and then my little sister’s room appeared right away.

I saw it yesterday, but I still can’t get used to this room.

Elin seemed to also not be used to it, and she sighed once and then waved her hand, and the room was instantly cleaned.

But the mana inside my body seemed to have decreased, or was I just hallucinating…?
