The Reincarnated Count’s Daughter Is the Strongest as She Is Loved by the Spirits, Though She Is Only Wishing for Regular Romance! - Chapter 9.2
“Spirit King, thank you for granting our wish today.”
(“I don’t mind. Are you the Empress who destroyed the Earth Spirit King’s forest?”)
“I apologize, although I was not aware of it.”
When the Empress bowed, The Generals, Princes, and Mages, also knelt and bowed their heads. My family stepped aside to avoid interrupting their conversation and watched from a distance. Father had warned me not to interfere, and I was too afraid to do so.
(“There’s no point in apologizing to me. That land is not my territory. At the request of The Margrave there, I tried to talk to the Earth Spirit King, but he turned a deaf ear, saying it was too late. If you truly wish to speak with him, the condition is to return the forest to its original state in the same location.”)
“That’s… “
It’s impossible. Even if you plant trees now, it will take years for them to grow into a forest. Besides, there are already houses and people living there. But from the spirit’s point of view, it is probably a simple argument that if they can’t destroy human habitation while destroying their own, they won’t cooperate.
(“They were already looking for a new home. If they move their home there, the imperial capital will turn into a desert. The forest around the school will also disappear.”)
Seriously ?
Is it already at that stage?
“I understand. We will relocate the humans living in that area and restore the forest. Please grant us some time to do this.”
“I would also like to ask you a favor. Even though this incident was caused by our ignorance, we never had any intention of being hostile to the Spirit King. Just once is enough. We would like to meet and talk with The Earth Spirit King..”
(“I’ve told you many times, this matter has nothing to do with me. As promise that we will talk only once.”)
“Ugh….”
“Can we do something about that …….”
(“Then, wouldn’t it be better to show them with your action rather than your words ?”)
Despite the Empress and the General saying they will relocate the humans, his attitude is quite cold. It’s as if he’s a different person when dealing with our family.
(“By the way, Diadora.”)
Stop it. Don’t involve me in this.
(“If I boast about you to the other Spirit Kings, they would surely express their desire to meet you.”)
“…Ruri.”
“Hehehe. If I also mention that I received a name from you, they all would want one too.”
Why don’t they just come up with names for themselves? He was envious when I named my spirit beasts, so I reluctantly gave him a name.
(“It will be a meeting with just the four of us and you. In that setting, the Earth Spirit King might soften his attitude a little.”)
The Imperial family looked up with hopeful eyes.
Huh? Isn’t this dangerous if it fails?
Even if it succeeds, wouldn’t it be even more dangerous?
Won’t I become the little girl who saved the imperial capital from turning into a desert?
I don’t want to stand out. I just want you to leave me alone.
(“If you come to the meeting with the four of us, we will support you from now on.”)
“Um… What do you mean with that….”
(“Those who act against your will shall be removed. If the country goes against your will, all the spirits will leave this land.”)
…..Huh ?
……Yes ??
“Diadora, I think it would be wise to accept this as a grateful offer.”
When I looked at Big Brother Chris in surprise, he nodded with a serious look on his face.
“Someday, you might need the protection of the Spirit Kings. You’re already standing out too much.”
“…. I guess so ?”
(“What will you do, Diadora?”)
“I don’t mind attending the meeting. I’d be happy to. It’s just that I don’t have the confidence to talk to the Earth Spirit King.”
(“Hahaha. Don’t worry too much. Well, the conversation ends here.”)
Huh ?
Even though the imperial family came all the way here ? !
Is it really over with that exchange just now?!
“Huh????”
(“I’ll come to pick you up once all the Spirit Kings are ready.”)
“Are you completely ignoring me!!”
We were stunned to see the spirit king disappearing with an amused smile. Should I just throw a lot of stones into the lake?
“Big Brother Chris. It’s becoming a pain in the ass.”
“I don’t think so. Maybe there’s a meaning for you to show up. You’re interesting just the way you are, so it should be alright. What is more important is that, now, you have the backing of the four spirit kings.”
No, That’s bad, isn’t it? How much influence are they planning to give me?
“I apologize for entrusting such an important role to a four-year-old child. But I beg you, please help us.”
“Please stop, Your Majesty Ephenia.”
Father hurriedly stopped the Empress from bowing her head.
“We are also citizens of the Empire, so we can’t leave the situation unattended as the imperial capital turns into a desert. If my daughter can be of help, I would be more than happy.”
“Margrave. If you have any requests, please let us know. Without you, our country might have become like the Republic of Pendelus.”
Pendelus was originally a single country, but desertification has made it difficult for people to come and go, and more and more areas have become independent.
“Even if you said whether we have any wish… Oh, right. I would like you to set up a meeting place with the lords of the regions where other Spirit Kings are located. Currently, only the people in my territory and some members of the palace know about this incident. Before other regions also incur the wrath of the Spirit Kings, we need to spread the information we know.”
“Does that mean…you’re suggesting that I host and arrange the meeting?”
“Yes, that’s what I had in mind.”
After all, If we don’t decide to keep the story centered on the Empress, everything will end up being my Father’s accomplishments.
Besides, it would be dangerous if regions with spirit kings joined forces with each other, and there’s also the hassle of transmitting information to other regions and providing guidance on how to raise spirits.
“I see. All right. Let’s hurry up and set up a place.”
“Thank you. Also, I have a request regarding Diadora.”
Once again, I’m the center of attention. It’s not about malice or goodwill, it’s more like ‘What’s the deal with this kid?’ kind of gaze. Like, ‘Why is she so liked by the spirits?’ kind of look.
I want to know too!!
What the hell is going on!!
“If there is a need for an explanation about spirits in other territories, I would like to ask the court mages for that. For this purpose, please acquire a spirit beast before you return. Diadora is only four years old. I don’t want her connection with the spirit kings to be spread.”
Thanks, Father !!?
No more attention is needed.
The imperial family accepted my father’s request and returned to the imperial capital. It’s a small price to pay if they only refrain from spreading my story, even though they could have asked for more.
The court mages, as expected of their otaku nature, had a lot of magical power, and seemed to be having fun talking with the spirits. It’s almost painful to watch. However, there is a tool that measures the amount of magic power, and when I measured my amount of magic power, I was quite surprised to find that it was more than The Chief Mage.
“Since I’ve been playing with magical tools as toys and spending time with spirits since I was born, using up my magic until I faint and repeating the process, it’s no surprise that my magical power is greater than anyone else’s,”
Even though Big Brother Chris already explained it to me, being a genius can be frightening. I’m not sure how they found out. Now, the court mages have started calling me ‘Master.’
