Chapter 48

It’s what I feel these days, but it was the first time in my 6-year-old life that I’ve been looking forward to tomorrow.

I was thinking of telling a bunch of fun things that happened at Cedric’s house when I go to kindergarten tomorrow to Princess Nina and Alice, whom I got close to.

‘This is the first step to fulfilling my simple wish that I get to be closer to everyone? Whoohoo.’

No matter how much the kindergarten children are the future villains, protagonists, and sub-leads, I was thinking that if we get to know each other well from now on, we will have a happy ending where everyone will be happy regardless of the original story.

Of course, to add a little more honest thoughts, it would be nice to just hold out by myself to the happy ending, but I also wanted to intervene a little between them.

I especially wanted Jake to make a lot of friends. Without me, Jake would be alone with no friends.

That doesn’t mean I want him to have a friend who is closer than me, but hmmhmm.

‘Ah, what kind of nasty jealousy this is! I’m really mean.’

I was blushing at the wicked true feeling that I thought of. Ugh.

Yes, I wish everyone to be happy.

It wasn’t in vain that I was jumping around and trying to be friendly.

The next day I was a little late for kindergarten.

It was because the wheel of the carriage I rode on yesterday was hardened with mud, so the cleaning was not finished.

The classroom when I arrived was lit brightly and for some reason it was noisy.

It seemed like something was going on.

Are you all playing together except me?

“Hello… Ooh!”

If they were playing, I couldn’t miss it. The moment I opened the door , something flew into my face.

It has a fluffy and soft texture, somehow seems to have hair, and what is it?

“Polly! You can’t fly there!”

The moment I held the unknown object quietly, Cedric’s shout flew like an arrow.

Polly? Polly? No way, then what I am holding right now…

“Hi.”

“…….?”

By any chance, the unknown object I looked down on was warm, as if to let me know that it was alive.

It even talked to people.

Of course, it was natural if this was Polly. Because it’s a magical being. I suddenly greeted Polly in a daze.

“Uh, hi.”

“Hi.”

Polly, out of the dog’s appearance, looked like a little bird.

A little baby bird half the size of my palm.

It was a pale pink bird with fluffy fuzz, not yet feathers. Was there such a thing?

‘Well, it’s natural to be a young thing since it came from an egg.’

Just in time, Cedric ran to me to pick up Polly.

Cedric immediately grabbed Polly and comforted it.

“Shh, Polly.”

“Hi!”

Again, Polly greeted me.

What, this one is not a parrot, but babbles?

Regardless of people, it seemed that the only word it knew how to say was ‘hello’.

Cedric urgently explained as he seemed to feel my strange gaze.

“It just woke up this morning. I brought it with me because I couldn’t put it in the mansion, but it was still young, so it only knew how to say hello.”

“Is it awake already?”

I was amazed.

It was me who was puzzled by Polly’s existence and forgot that the most important fact was that it was just a newly emerged egg yesterday. Hatching, which was said to take up to a week, is already happening.

“……Lord Theion said the words. The closer it is to the owner, the faster it will wake up.”

Cedric shrugged with a strangely proud expression.

Are you showing off your relationship with your magical being?

“Yes. congratulations.”

I nodded soullessly.

In fact, my forehead battered by the magical being was pretty tingly.

That magical being, what kind of durability it was born with. Whoa.

“I think it woke up right away when it heard you coming. Polly is still sleeping a lot. Until now, it was sleeping soundly in my arms.”

Cedric shrugged and made excuses with an expression like saying ‘it wasn’t usually like this…..’

Magical beings, like other animals, seemed to need a lot of sleep, especially when they were young. Looking ahead, the children gathered together and showed passionate eyes toward the magical being.

Not only Ninaina who was usually curious when something new and interesting comes up, but even Alice who has a passive attitude seemed to have twinkling eyes for the thing she saw for the first time.  Unexpectedly, Jake was indifferent, but I knew the reason. I heard that Jake’s father, Duke Theion, sometimes showed Jake a rare beast when he was younger than he is now.

And Nicholas.
