Chapter 33

I whispered in a small voice to Jake. It was because Cedric, sleeping in the seat next to him, seemed to be awakened when he spoke out loud.

“Let’s play with this.”

“I like everything you want to do, Mir! But what kind of game is it?”

“Now, look at what I do.”

I demonstrated in front of Jake the beginning to end of gonggi, in which one of the smooth stones was thrown into the air and in the meantime, snatched the stones on the floor.

Jake’s eyes grew bigger and bigger, and in the end, the hazelnut-colored soft pupils were filled with astonishment.

“Mi, Mir, what the hell did you do? Wow, it’s so amazing.”

“No. Jay, you can do as much as you want! Now, follow me.”

That was when I was teaching Jake how to play gonggi. Nina, who was just staring at the side with the eyes of ‘what are they doing…’, finally got a little interested and called me.

“Saeron, no, Emir, what is that game?”

“Oh, this is gonggi. Would you like to try it?”

It was Jake who kept touching a rock on the floor or missing a stone in the air because of a slight lack of athleticism.

Jake had just let go of his hand for a while, saying it was too difficult, so I handed the stone to Nina. Ninaina seemed to be worried, and she immediately reached out her hand.

“Give me.”

“Here you go. I’ll show you how.”

So, I again taught Ninaina how to play gonggi. And after a while.

‘Ugh. She has talent.’

I opened my mouth and watched Nina do it. Jake, who was tired by my side, was also quietly coming to the side and watching. Jake whispered carefully into my ear.

“Mir, I think Her Highness is doing better than you. What should you do…….?”

Yeah. What should I really do?

Unfairly, Nina was in the process of learning and was already good at the skills I had practiced and honed in my previous life for a month or so in just 5 minutes.

Life was unfair, and Nina, who had all of the wealth and power, was good at playing gonggi. Huft.

Ninaina, who had been concentrating for a while, raised her head and said a word as if she felt our eyes at her.

“Well, that’s not a big deal.”

Jake was failing one after another because he couldn’t do that ‘not big deal’ thing.

Anyway, Jake was motivated to see Nina’s skills, and he asked for a re-challenge, saying that he would try again. Ninaina handed over the stone to Jake with an overly triumphant look.

A few failures followed that.

“Uh…”

The gentle Jake, who does not get angry even if he is seldom dissatisfied, made a grunt!

I was so surprised that I approached Jake.

“Ja, Jake. Come on, relax your hands and take your time.”

“……Okay. Mir, then I’ll try again.”

Jake picked up the stone with a tragic expression and started again from step 1.

And the moment he tried to snatch a stone on the floor… Huh? The stone flew away?

That’s because Jake accidentally became impatient and wasted his hand movement.

And the stone that flew, hit Cedric’s head.

“Ah! What!”

Naturally, Cedric, who was sleeping hard, wrapped his hands around his head and jumped up.

Cedric woke up from sleep and touched the crown of his head with an expression full of irritation.

“Who is the person who threw this stone at me?”

He found the culprit.

Of course …… Jake with a stone in his hand is the culprit?

Cedric immediately noticed that.

“Ah, it’s you again! Are you an enemy to me?”

“Sorry. I threw it by mistake while I was playing it.”

Jake apologized to Cedric. It was a mistake anyway, but it was true that the stone hit Cedric’s head.

Cedric shook with a resentful look and then snorted.

“Then I will keep this stone.”

Oh? You can’t. That’s my stone!

At this moment, the times when I was struggling with my small hands, whittling and grinding to make that stone smooth, passed by me.

‘Lady, what are you working on so hard here?’

‘Ah! You surprised me! Oops, please keep it a secret from the nanny. It’s obvious that the nanny will take it!’
