The Reincarnated Count’s Daughter Is the Strongest as She Is Loved by the Spirits, Though She Is Only Wishing for Regular Romance! - Chapter 7.1
Chapter 7 : Birthday Party Part 2
My family rushed to the scene worried about me, and a crowd of onlookers gathered, creating quite a commotion around me.
Dennis, the one who caused the problem, is shocked to see Fenrir and a dragon appear in front of him, and is half-crying. I guess he never thought that just by threatening a weak-looking girl, something like this would turn out to be such a big deal.
Harry was still holding onto Dennis’s arm, equally surprised and frozen, but his eyes were sparkling at the sight of the spirit beast in front of him. He probably wants to touch its fluffy fur. I’ll let him do that later.
Iris was also surprised, her eyes wide, clinging to me and froze in place, while Rex was trapped between the spirit beast and unable to move. In other words, everyone was frozen.
I’m pretty impressive for being the only one able to move in that situation. But because of that, my father is on the verge of cutting off the spirit beast. Well, the first thing I need to do is to stop my father.
“Father, please calm down. I’m fine.”
(“What is your father angry about?”)
The fact that it is higher than me when I am standing even when it’s sitting means that this spirit, who transformed into the Flame Fenrir, is pretty huge. When it leans in for affection and rubs its head, I wobble under the pressure. Despite its entire body appearing to look like it’s on fire, it’s strangely not hot, and it’s adorable when it seeks affection.
“That I was seen while taking a bath.”
(“Bath ?”)?
(“Taking a bath ?”)
The water dragon feels somewhat out of place in this Western world, but if there were a category of sacred creatures within my heart, undoubtedly, the dragon would be included.
Because it’s a dragon, its eyes are round and it has whiskers, a large mouth, and big fangs. It has a frightening face that could make children cry. However, its eyes seem gentle, and its scales reflect light, sparkling and becoming incredibly beautiful when combined with the flow of water-like light.
This one either attaches its tail to me or wraps it loosely around me.
Don’t I look a little like Tarzan?
Is this okay?
Isn’t it out of fantasy?
While I was playing with the spirit beast, my two older brothers managed to calm Father down and put away the swords for the time being. There are more pressing matters than the bath issue, after all. Even though it was me who brought it up in the first place.
“From now on, following me to the bathroom is prohibited !”
(“I don’t mind. I’ll just wait in the next room.”)
“Are you okay with being apart from me ?”?
(“It’s not a problem at that distance.”)
“Spirits that cannot be parted yet lack self-consciousness. It shouldn’t be a problem to stay nearby.”
(“Without communication, self-consciousness cannot develop.”)
I knew it, It was important to talk to the spirit after all.
“Hey, hey, is it okay to touch you ?”
(“Of course.”)
(“We are your spirits.”)
Whoa, yippee!
I’ve been getting nuzzled for a while now, and was wondering if it’s okay for me to touch them. In fact, they seem happy about it. The Fenrir is fluffy, and the dragon is surprisingly cool and quite pleasant. It makes me want to sleep next to them, especially during the summer.
The spirits of wind and earth flew around me, as if telling me not to forget them. So I shared the magical power I had gathered in my palm with them. I wonder what kind of spirit beasts they will become.
“We shouldn’t let the women know about this conversation.”
“Understood. What about him?”
Of course, the person Big Brother Chris turned his cold gaze towards was Dennis. Iris and Harry, whom I led away, are enjoying the fluffiness of my spirit. It’s my way to thank them for trying to protect me. If they continue with this determination for another five years, I’ll make them my guards or attendants.
“Should I ask Rex for more details about what he was talking about at the castle?”
“Oh god, I apologize for this fool.”
“It was a meaningful discussion, right?”
While Father’s head butler, Sebastian, was bowing, Rex was grinning unapologetically. Sebastian is Rex’s grandfather.
“Honestly, what kind of conversations are you letting the children hear?”
“You probably thought they wouldn’t understand the conversation anyway.”
“Huh? Even Dia understands conversations like that.”
“Master, that’s because the young lady is exceptionally talented. No other child would be able to do it.”
“Wouldn’t Chris-sama and Alan-sama be tired of being surrounded by nothing but children once they go to school?”
“They’re a child too, right ?”
My father seemed pleased at Sebastian and Rex’s words. While there might be some favoritism due to being family, it’s undeniable that my siblings and I are weird. Among the children here, we clearly stand out.
But they get along well, and seem to have friends too. As for me, I only have memories from my past life, so I think that someday everyone will catch up with me and become a normal adult. It’s only now that people call me smart.
“Could you come over here for a moment?”
“What the heck is wrong with you !”
Big Brother Chris grabbed Dennis by the upper arm and led him away from us. The spirit beast’s intimidating presence had visibly lowered Dennis’s earlier confidence.
Although his rude demeanor bothered me, but he didn’t actually hit me, so I hope he only gets a warning. However, the information he was revealing was concerning. If his family had truly embezzled, they would probably be stripped of their title. Even without that, it could be deemed a crime of disrespect.
“Dennis ?!”
Her high-pitched voice calling out to her child sounded like a scream, The slender woman bedecked in jingling precious metals. Somehow, she was exactly what I imagined her to be.
The gentleman walking next to her looked exactly as I had imagined. A slender man wearing delicate-looking glasses, he seemed nervous. He was swiftly moving his gaze around, trying to understand the situation and gather his thoughts.
“Hello, Earl Coleman. Your son is quite the lively one, isn’t he?”
I had never seen my father’s truly angry face before. After all, I am his beloved little one. But, today I found it. He’s the kind of person you don’t want to provoke.
I never thought he would draw his sword against a spirit beast, and even now, while his tone is light, it still has a power that sends chills down my spine. The atmosphere became silent and tense.
“Sebastian, Please guide the earl’s family to the castle. Let them stay there for a while.”
“Understood.”
“Let our people take care of them. Gather the ones they brought along and put them in the same room.”
“What’s going on…”
“We’ll talk later. Just take your time.”
Following Father’s instructions, Sebastian gave out orders. Some rushed off to the castle in a hurry, while others surrounded the Earl’s family and escorted them into the castle.
“Why are you following his orders?”
“Shut up.”
“Father, you’re way better than him, right ?!”
“Shut up !!”
Impressive, Dennis. It’s rare to see a child who doesn’t understand the atmosphere to this extent.
“Everyone, it is said that if you talk to the spirits and raise their magical power, they will turn into spirit beasts and be able to talk to you. There is still time. Please try to find spirits without forcing yourself too much.”
Father, who was still talking with some people about work, was replaced by Chris, who called out to everyone.
He’s only one year younger than Dennis, you know?
Isn’t my older brother amazing?
“I have prepared cold drinks and sweets.”
“Please come this way.”
The butlers led the onlookers to the tables, giving me a chance to finally catch my breath. It’s becoming a party completely devoid of any birthday elements.
“Iris-chan and Harry-kun, thank you for protecting Dia-chan.”
The two, who were embarrassed to receive thanks from my mother, were taken to their parents. I’ve gained two friends!
