"......"
"Rid, are you all right? We're already in Bardia territory. Just a little longer ti."
..'....Yes, Father. I feel a little less shaken now that we are in Bardia."
The journey from Renalute back to Bardia was still very tough.
The reason for this is clear after going to Renalute.
Because of the lack of trade and distribution, there is probably no budget to spend on improvents.
However, even if there was a budget, I still have so doubts about whether it would be technically possible to maintain the system.
The interstate distribution channels may be a problem that will affect my future.
I will co up with a good idea when I get back to my mansion.
With this thought, I continued to fight against my sickness.
Eeeeee ......
◇
'Hey, Rid. We're at the mansion.'
"....? Oh, Father, I'm sorry. ......"
"Don't worry about it. You seem to get sick easily. It would have been easier for you to sleep. Get out of the carriage and get so air."
I did as my father told and got out of the carriage.
As I was stretching my body, I noticed a figure approaching at a run.
I was so excited to see soone approaching .
"l, I'm back!"
l ca running and jumped into my arms with all her strength.
l was smiling in my arms, with "ehehe".
There was a maid who ca after l.
It was Danae.
"ldie-sama, it's dangerous to run so fast. ...... Ah⁉ Rid-sama, welco back."
". I'm back."
I'm glad to see her .
Danae and ldie seem to be all right.
The house seems to be in good condition.
"Hey, brother , where are souvenirs?"
"What? I'm unloading now, so I hope you can wait until tomorrow."
"What?!"
l seed to think that she would get her souvenirs right away, and she looked dissatisfied.
At that mont, I heard a scream from the carriage behind us,
I quickly turned around to the carriage where I heard the scream, hugging l.
Father, Capella, Deanna, Rubens, and the other knights who were nearby also took a stance.
And then, coming out of the back of the carriage, tottering, were demons that looked familiar.
They made a cute "nnnn~" sound.
Two of them, about the size of a cat, slowly and cautiously approached .
Seeing them, I involuntarily called out to them.
"Why did you guys⁉ follow ?"
"What ......? Rid, did you bring them here?"
'No, that' s not how co they are .......'
Father is staring at , looking very furious.
The people here were very frightened of the two monsters, perhaps because there are no monsters in the Bardia territory.
In the midst of all this, there was a person in my arms whose eyes sparkled with interest in them.
'Ni-chan, are these your souvenirs?"
"What? ⁉ No, they are not souvenirs indeed. They are clever monsters that we got to know a little bit in Renalute. They probably understand our language, so I don't think they are dangerous. ......"
l slipped out of my hold and approached them.
I was very nervous , but l didn't care, she held out her hands to them and talked to them.
" My na is ldie. Nice to et you."
The two monsters seed to be smiling at her, and she seed to be smiling back at them.
l's face lights up when she sees this gesture.
"Ni-chan, give them to , please."
"Eeew⁉"
I let out a startled cry, but l seed to be serious, looking at with a gaze stronger than ever before.
But it was not but my father who answered l.
'No, is dangerous, ldie, they may be small, but they are still wild."
'Yes? They're fine, ? See, they're not scary, "
As l patted the two monsters on the head, they beca even smaller than cat-size, and then kitten-size.
Then, the black cat climbed up ldie's hand and landed on her shoulder.
A little cat perched on top of ldy's head.
"l, are you sure it's not too heavy?"
Yes, it's not heavy at all. See?
l, to my surprise, began to spin around on the spot with her arms outstretched, happily giggling.
The monster kittens were running around on l's arms as if they were playing with her.
Everyone present, including my father and I, rolled their eyes at the sight.
When l noticed us, she stopped running around, looked at and my father with a strong gaze, and said,
"I'll take care of them, I promise!"
She was a child, ...... who is usually afraid of monsters, but she's a mysterious child, ............."
Hearing l's words, Father glanced at and then muttered.
Is he trying to say that all of father's children are "wonder children"?
A little rude, I thought, but I looked at l.
Perhaps now that this has happened, l will never crack.
I won't say who, but I have a feeling that his temperant in that area is very much like soone else's.
I think my father knows l's character.
He had a very troubled expression on his face.
I tugged on his hand and began to whisper in a quiet voice.
"Father, I can see from their actions that they probably, but definitely, understand what we are saying. And I don't think they can stand up to us. They are not l's squire, but I think they would be perfect for escorting her."
"Mmm, but no matter how hard you try, monsters are ......"
Father had a very troubled look on his face, but I folded it up and said, "
"They are very smart. Even if we get rid of them, I think they will eventually co back. And if l were to keep them in secret, it would be very difficult to manage them, wouldn't it? Oh, and ......."
'And what's with the ......?'"
"Is it okay for l to hate you, Father, ......?"
My words made him look at l.
l is looking at us with strong eyes, but her eyes are a little moist, as if she is sowhat anxious.
He sighed with resignation and turned to l and gently told him.
"...... understand. ldy, do what you want. Rid, that's fine with you, too, right?"
"Huh? Yes, I'm fine with it. I don't mind."
"Really⁉ Thank you, Father, brother ".
l looked so happy and hugged and my father.
l hugged and my father with a very happy face.
After l hugged us, she put the two monsters on the ground and gave a cute coughing sound.
...... Cookie-"" and -Biscuit is ". both father and brother are are good with that
Huh?" "Huh? I fine with them, but why are they nad that way?"
"Well, you know. I took it from the na of a favorite candy. ...... and then I just kind of went with it."
And so, ldie has a new squire? A new squire or escort? Cookie" and "Biscuit" were created as ldie's new squires or escorts.
