The Reincarnated Count’s Daughter Is the Strongest as She Is Loved by the Spirits, Though She Is Only Wishing for Regular Romance! - Chapter 21.2
It’s still noisy outside. I was thinking that maybe we should leave too, but Big Brother Alan came back.
“Alan, what’s wrong?”
It’s only natural that Big Brother Chris is surprised.
Usually invisible, Big Brother Alan’s sword spirit is now completely in battle mode. His body is enveloped in light, and the fire spirit takes the shape of a sword, as if saying, “Use me! I’ll protect you!”.
“Father and mother’s spirits are fine. But the guardian spirits were also like this.”
“…Maybe it’s just a matter of getting used to the place.”
“They’re getting a lot of attention.”
“Are there that many people?”
“It wasn’t just people. There were also many spirit beasts along the wall.”
“Inside the room?”
“Yes. And they’re staying in their big form.”
Is that the norm in the imperial palace ? Do you have to let the spirit beasts out ?
“Would it be alright to release Liva and Ifrit in their actual sizes?”
“It’s not okay.”
“Even my spirit beasts aren’t good either.”
Big Brother Chris’s spirits are a White Tiger, a Black Leopard, a Cheetah, and a Puma. And they’re as big as cows. It’s not just dangerous—it’s beyond that.
You might think, “Are there even pumas in this world?”. Well, they might exist somewhere. Actually, Big Brother Chris wanted all his spirits to be cats. It began with cats. And when he tried to make them larger, they turned into cheetahs and pumas.
“That’s why I asked you to have them released in a smaller size. Father said that since the spirits are on guard, there is a risk that they will react to even the slightest noise and they might appear in their full size.”
“All right, I’ll shrink them as much as possible.”
With those words, a spirit in the form of a kitten of all attributes appeared at Big Brother Chris’s feet.
When Jin manifested, he became a form of a black leopard with wings, so I had him become the size of a kitten, and I petted him. Seeing that, Big Brother Chris got jealous and imitated him. It turns out it was a scarf.
Big Brother Chris is at ease surrounded by four cats, is truly priceless.
In case you are wondering, Big Brother Alan’s spirits are so easy to understand, fire spirits appear as fire, and water spirits appear as water.
To be a bit more specific, the fire spirit is like the flames from that moving castle in a certain popular anime production company’s work. The water spirit is similar to that of a certain air conditioning company. The wind spirit is a small tornado, and the earth spirit is a lump of rock.
“Once you’ve both shrunk your spirits, it’s time to come out.”
“I got it.”
“Yes.”
“Dia, you don’t need to do anything, okay?”
“I understand.”
Don’t worry. I can’t sing or dance anyway.
I feel a little more at ease when the spirits are with me. Holding hands with Big Brother Chris is also comforting. As long as the whole family is together, everything will be okay.
I take a big breath in, let it out. Alright, I’m ready to go out into the hall.
The hall was bigger and more luxurious than I expected, and it looked sparkling as it was illuminated by the light of the magic tools. It feels numb and unrealistic to be this impressive.
I feel like someone on a TV show in my past life mentioned that when you look into the distance, your gaze doesn’t meet with the audience, so you won’t get nervous.
I feel like I shouldn’t just ignore them if I see their eyes, but I also don’t want them to think I have something to do by smiling at them. Let’s look into the distance. Up above, but at a height where I don’t have to make eye contact with the people on the second floor.
Don’t be nervous. Empty your mind. Everything is void.
“Prime Minister, let me show you around.”
Ah, I know that voice. Ugh, is it normal for the Crown Prince to come to a place like this to personally greet someone ? Especially when they’re not a foreign guest of honor ?
“Hello, Margrave Velisario. Thank you for coming. Lady Nadia, Her Majesty was looking forward to meeting you.”
“It’s been a while, Your Highness.”
“It’s an honor.”
Ah, she’s trying to show off our close relationship in front of all these people. Got it, leave it to me.
“Chris, you look different!”
“Do I look more like a noble?”
“Has Alan already grown to the point where his sword spirit protects his entire body? That’s impressive.”
“Thank you.”
“Hey, Diadora. Happy birthday. You’re now six years old.”
“Good day, Brother Andrew. Yes, I’m now able to attend tea parties.”
Huh? There’s a commotion around me. People within hearing range are murmuring, and it seems to be spreading.
“It’s your first time coming to the imperial palace, right? Wasn’t it surprising to see so many spirits?”
“ I didn’t expect everyone to cherish spirits to this extent. It’s wonderful.”
Please, let’s hurry up and move on. Don’t talk to me in front of this many people. I’m so nervous that I feel like I’m about to throw up.
“Your Highness, I have brought you a wonderful report today.”
“Oh ?”
“I can’t wait to tell you about it.”
“Let’s go then. We can’t keep Her Majesty waiting.”
Thank goodness. We can finally move on.
Do the people at the imperial palace have nothing to do? What about work? Get to work!
“Diadora, let’s go.”
…What’s this situation? The Crown Prince is offering his hand.
Oh no. I wonder if my hands are sweaty from nervousness. I want to rub them on my skirt before holding hands.
I won’t do that, of course. I know that would be inappropriate.
“…Thank you?”
“A slightly more cheerful expression would be better.”
“Ha….”
“Don’t worry, I just wanted to have a little chat.”
We walk side by side, facing forward, with smiles plastered on our faces as we talk. People passing by smile at us until we’ve gone, and then they are whispering something to each other.
“I have come to the conclusion that the country should protect you but leave you alone.”
Oh, that’s wonderful.
“Personally, I will treat you as a friend who I consider like my own sister.”
“Thank you.”
“I’ve heard a lot of things from Chris, but it would be best to continue your act as you are in the imperial palace.”
Are you telling me not to show my true colors at the tea party later?
Obviously, my father would collapse if I show my true self.
“Both The General and Her Majesty want me to marry you.”
“Please tell them it’s impossible.”
“That’s why, if both of us want to make it clear that we’re not interested. Please cooperate with me.”
“I understand. Leave it all to me. I just need you to think it would be troublesome to marry me.”
“Well… I’ll ask you to do it moderately.”
“Andrew, that’s brave of you.”
“It’s reckless.”
Even my big brothers, what’s wrong with them. All women are actresses, you know.
