The Reincarnated Count’s Daughter Is the Strongest as She Is Loved by the Spirits, Though She Is Only Wishing for Regular Romance! - Chapter 5.2
“Diadora ?”
I was deep in thought, so my mother got worried and called out to me.
“Where is the place near the castle with water, trees, and lots of flowers?”
My mother and father exchanged glances, then turned their gaze back to me.
“Perhaps it’s the lake to the west of the castle.”
“The flowers are especially beautiful at this time of year.”
“Is it close ?”
“It’s inside the castle.”
There’s a lake inside the castle !
The area is too spacious !
“I want to go. I want an earth spirit.”
“Huh ?”
“Spirits exist in nature, right ?”
“Diadora, how do you know things like that ?”
“It was written in the book that Dana reads to me.”
“A picture book ?”
I nod at Big Brother Alan’s words.
“According to the book, flowers always bloom where there are spirits.”
“That’s because it’s a picture book…”
“But now that you mention it, that’s true.”
“The book I read also said the same.”
That’s right. The fact that has been passed down from ancient times surely manifests in such ways !
Please think like that. I can’t say it’s Wiki-chan information.
“Does that mean spirits really exist in nature ?”
“Dear, I wonder when did you expand the imperial capital ?”
“It was ten years ago.”
That might be why there are fewer spirits within the castle now. If I remember correctly, the eldest son is the same age as Big Brother Chris, nine years old. The timing aligns. In a world where we coexist with spirits, destroying nature is absolutely unacceptable.
“There is nature near the imperial capital… around the academy, right ?”
“If I remember correctly, there was a shortcut through the forest from the imperial capital.”
Even if there’s nature nearby, people are too busy to go there regularly. That’s relatable. Even the people in this territory don’t visit the lake inside the castle despite its existence.
“I want to go to the lake.”
“If you go, will the spirits come?”
“I want to go every day until they come.”
Don’t say such naive things. Unless your magic is significantly powerful, spirits won’t be lured so easily. On the contrary, with strong magic, they would even stick to a baby like me. I wonder how powerful the prince’s magic is.
“It’s worth a try.”
“Yes. Let’s ask the people we invited to Diardora’s birthday party to do the same. They will be willing to cooperate if there is a possibility that a spirit will be attached to them or their child.”
“If it turns out to be true, we can earn their gratitude. It might be a good idea to hold it regularly.”
“Which means we won’t allow them to do it freely, right ?”
“We should enforce a no-entry policy to ensure nature protection.”
“It would be great if the members of the knight and guards had spirits attached, but they can be rough. So, we need to monitor them.”
While Father and Big Brother Chris continue their conversation, I fidget in my seat until Alan kindly offered me a cookie.
“Thank you.”
“If you use magic, you have to get some nutrients.”
“But we’ll have dinner after this.”
“Isn’t it going to be late?”
That’s true. My father will probably prioritize wrapping up this discussion even if it means being late for the evening gathering. Tonight is a dinner party for the earl’s family in the territory, so just making an appearance should be enough.
“Hey Diadora, how did you learn that spirits feed on magic?”
I was suddenly asked by Big Brother Chris.
“Even when I’m not sleepy, I have to go to bed, but because I can’t turn on the light, I use magic to cover my hands.”
“So you brightened it up.”
“Then, spirits gathered in my hand, so I thought they wanted magical power.”
“… I see.”
“I get it, you have a great imagination.”
Oh, you want to find out where my abnormality comes from? Even though you told me not to force myself to act like a four-year-old, my attitude hasn’t changed. So, what you want to know. if I can’t change or if I won’t change.
“I thought it was out of the ordinary, but your perspective and imagination are excellent.”
“Sometimes there’s such things that I don’t know and the reason for running around like a regular child can be explained by this.”
“You’re the one among the three who gets injured the most, and being a girl, Diadora.”
I’m sorry. I can’t reveal the whole truth yet. I can’t say I possess knowledge of another world, which can be dangerous, just until I become more mature and capable of self-defense.
The knowledge I possess is nothing much, considering Wiki-chan exists. I want to believe in my family, but the things I acquire are too significant. I think this is a level of knowledge that can move a country.
“Is there anything else you’ve noticed about the spirits?”
In response to my father’s words, I put my hand on my hip and puffed out my chest.
“You’ve got something, right ?”
“What is it ? What is it ?”
“Hehe.”
“Tell me, Dia-chan.”
“Calling you Dia-chan is cute. Maybe I should call you that too.”
“Alan, leave it later. But, I’m going to call her that too.”
Huh? Using ‘-chan’? It’s fine to call me Lady Diadora, though.?
“So, what are you going to tell us?”
“If you want to go to the lake and make friends with the spirits…”
“Yes.”
“You go and talk to them, asking to be friends.”
“Huh ?”
“The wind feels nice. It’s all thanks to the spirits. So, say thank you.”
“……To whom?”
“To the wind and water?”
Stop making that pitiful face like saying ‘What is this child saying?’. You’re probably thinking you raised me wrong, aren’t you?
“Did Dia become friends with the wind spirit like that?”
As expected, Alan is the last conscience of our family!
It’s just my imagination that his gaze feels slightly warm, right?
“That’s right. Besides, you have to talk to the spirits you’re with. Mr. Fire Spirit, come here.
When I held my palm up, only a soft red light floated above it.
“And Mr. Water Spirit this way.”
The water spirit settled on the opposite palm.
“If you talk to them, they’ll respond.”
“Wow, I want to try it too!”
With his eyes sparkling, Alan called out to the spirits, and in response, his palms gleamed green. Because the sword spirit isn’t floating around.
“If you don’t give them magic food properly, they won’t listen to you.”
“Oh…”
“Talking to the spirits you want… huh.”
Father and Big Brother Chris pondered with their hands on their chins, while Mother and Big Brother Alan communicated with their own spirits. It’s easy to see who takes after whom.
“Even me, I also want to be friends with those who will talk to me instead of ignoring me.”
I smiled at my family’s surprised faces and continued the conversation.
“It won’t work with just one try. It takes many tries until they become your friends!”
“uh-huh. So you need to keep going.”
My family is discussing my story with serious expressions. Even in between the conversation, they checked if I was getting bored. Towards the end, Father even carried me to the sofa, saying it’s okay to sit a bit away from Alan.?
…I feel so guilty for deceiving my family. It’s making my stomach ache.
“Judging from what you saw, what do you think about my family reaction ?”
I asked the two butlers after the meeting had ended. That’s why I had them in the same room.
“You’re loved, Young Lady.”
“Wouldn’t you suspect a bit of a sister complex with both brothers?”
“I didn’t ask about that. Do you think the suspicion has been cleared?”
“‘That’s impossible, right’”
Right???!
