The Reincarnated Count’s Daughter Is the Strongest as She Is Loved by the Spirits, Though She Is Only Wishing for Regular Romance! - Chapter 24.1
Chapter 24 : Boy With Black Hair.
Brad and Gemma seemed to think I was interested in boats. Indeed, I think I could make something like a hovercraft that can float with just one boat. Whether it’s worth doing or not is another matter.
Gemma asked me to call her if I needed anything, and she stood a little further away keeping an eye on her surroundings, while Brad headed to the stall to buy what I wanted.
The fact that there are not many people in the park, perhaps because they have restricted admission. I wonder if it will be a nuisance if I stay too long.
(“That human seems to possess spirit from all attributes.”)
(“It’s a spirit from a different country.”)
After staring blankly at the sea for a while, the spirit beasts started talking.
“Which person?”
(“Over there. The person looking at the sea alone.”)
At the end of Jin’s outstretched front legs, there was a black-haired child leaning on the railing, just like me. As expected, she is a child of Luftanen, the land of spirits. Indeed, there are spirits of all attributes above her head. With that size, it might be able to become a spirit beast.
(“The child is crying.”)
Gaia, who is normally quiet, uttered a few words.
“Seriously?”
She’s still a child. This must be a foreign country for a black-haired child.
She is wearing a striped shirt and white pants that are almost long enough to hide her knees, her hands folded on the railing, and she was stretched out, not tall enough to hide her face. Maybe she doesn’t want people to know she’s crying, but I’m worried.
Should I tell Gemma? But suddenly being spoken to by an adult might be scary. It should be fine with the spirit beast, right ? They seem worried too, and that child probably has them as well.
“What’s wrong? Are you sick?”
I rushed over and gently called out from a distance.
“Huh ?”
The face looking back at me was adorable. It’s not good to be alone in a place like this. You might get kidnapped by a bad adult.
When she looked at me, her wide-open eyes were dark brown. Depending on the light, they could also appear black.
Probably this child is of mixed race. Not as deeply carved as a Hawaiian, and facial features are three-dimensional for an East Asian. Judging by the color of the eyes, it seems like she has blood from many different countries. Double eyelids with long eyelashes, and tanned from the sun, indicating she might be an active child.
“Are you feeling hurt somewhere?”
Her shoulder-length, slightly quirky hair stuck to her wet cheeks. Trying to hide the tears, she shaped her mouth into a ‘?’ and shook her head, attempting to rub her eyes roughly. That’s when I offered a handkerchief.
“You’ll hurt your eyes. Wipe with this.”
I can’t just leave a girl crying by herself.
“Thank you.”
(“Who are you?”)
Almost as soon as the child took the handkerchief, the child’s spirit stepped between us, circling around and asking. Is this some kind of formation? Maybe they are being intimidated.
But since it’s just a ball of light spinning around, all I can think of is how beautiful it is. If the music was playing, it might have looked like they were dancing.
(“This land is the land of my Spirit King. I will not tolerate that attitude towards the child who received his blessing.”)
(“My master has also received blessings, so don’t approach him so casually.”)
Huh? Hold on.
Why are the spirits fighting with each other? !
“I was just wondering if you were feeling unwell. I’m sorry if I disturbed you. If you guys start fighting in a place like this, you’ll cause trouble for the Spirit Kings, so please calm down.”
(“But these guys…”)
“It’s fine, Ifrit. Thank you. Please don’t be mad, everyone.”
As I stroked Ifrit’s neck, he seemed to calm down a little, and he snuggled closer to me, as if he was deliberately showing off.
(“Even though they say things like that, they can’t become spirit beasts. And we can’t offend the Spirit Kings of other countries either.”)
“Ifrit, don’t provoke them.”
“Everyone, too. Behave yourselves”
When the child warned them, the spirits meekly broke their formation, but it seemed like they were still on guard.
(“They gave you something. Isn’t it dangerous?”)
(“wait. There’s a child on their side too.”)
(“That’s right, they can’t do anything that would bring shame to the Spirit Kings.”)
(“That water spirit looks similar to us.”)
Her spirit seems talkative. While watching them converse happily, they all approached so closely that it seemed like they might stick to Riva.
(“Similar.”)
(“It’s a dragon.”)
(“We’re friends.”)
I think it’s possible for spirits to share similar forms.
Even when people are told to be original, most people end up choosing animal or fairy types. It seems that the number of cat-type spirit beasts is increasing now due to the influence of Big Brother Chris.
“Hey, back off. You’re being a nuisance.”
Even after wiping away the tears with the handkerchief, the area around the eyes remained red, but it seems like she wasn’t really unwell.
“I’m sorry. My spirit beasts are bothering you.”
…Huh? What did she just say?
“I[1]?”
“Hm ?”
“Geugh??! You’re a boy ?!”
I couldn’t help but point my finger and scream, so the spirits got stimulated and started forming again. Gemma rushed over, and my spirit beast was so taken aback that it pretended to be someone else.
“Young lady? What happened?!”
“Gemma! This child is a boy!”
“…Yeah, I guess so.”
“Huh ?”
“I actually thought he was a boy.”
I was looked at with a face that seemed to say, ‘What is this person talking about?’.
Huh? Is something wrong with my senses?
“…I’m a boy.”
And that child… no, he muttered with his cheeks puffing out a little while his ears were bright red. His sulking face is also cute.
Is he really a boy? Are you serious? It can’t be true, right?!
A world full of beautiful people is scary. Cute kids roam around regardless of gender. And then, when they grow up, do they become handsome and make girls cry?
“Well, you’re so cute, so I thought you were a girl.”
(“This person is strange.”)
(“Why did the Spirit Kings bless this person?”)
“Who are you calling ‘this person’?”
When I glared at him, complaining that it was rude to call people that name, his spirits hurriedly hid behind him.
What happened to the formation? What is the point of using your master as a shield?
“I’m really sorry.”
“Oh, don’t worry about it. I’m really fine, so don’t bow your head. I was the one who was rude.”
“Indeed. Our young lady was the one being impolite.”
They’re both bowing down to each other because of me. I’m so embarrassed that I just want to run away from this place.
1. He’s using the word ?(boku) to refer himself, and it was a pronoun that usually used by man and boy.?
