The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Mysterious Sounds (6)

Yuni placed the paper and pencil on the table.

"Are you doing your homework?"

Oh that's true. I came here under the pretext of doing my homework.

While trying to grab a pencil, I found a scar on Yuni's hand.

“Yuni, huh.” (Yuni, you are injured)

“Ah, I was injured for being careless. It's nothing, so don't worry about it. ”

Then Seria came to us.

"I have the cure."

"Yes, right……"

“The body of the servant is also an asset. We have to take good care of it.”

Seria applied the medicine on her hand, as Yuni replied with a slightly embarrassed face,

"Thank you…"

“Don't say that.”

Out of the room after finishing my homework, I went to Duke's office.

'Now that I know who the criminal is looking for, I need to find evidence to get that reward.'

To do that, I had to keep the fugitive criminal next to me. I was thinking of making a criminal my teacher under the pretext of wanting a full lesson.

I knocked and entered while Duke was talking to one of his followers. There's a big box on Duke's desk.

'What's inside....?'

'Ethwal!'

It was that sacred thing that made Mina exert her power.

But that one was different from Mina. Etwal Mina is platinum, but this is all gold. And the corners of the hexagonal center have no gems attached to them.

'That's her. Etwal second.'

The Turva wants to get by tricking Duke Dubbled.

'How did they get it?'

I've heard of war, but it can't end so soon. Suddenly, the follower said to the duke.

“Citizens of the continent suffered so much from tyranny that they instantly opened the gates for our troops. Thanks to that, the journey becomes faster.”

"Did you send this news to the Emperor?"

"Of course, he said he was most pleased with the present this year, and he would send an edict in your honor."

"It really makes the neck hurt."

Viscount Dubos looked at me.

“This is all thanks to you. If you don't recognize the impostor, how can we know about Etwal's second existence?

The subordinates laughed. I feel good too.

Duke Vallua must have had a heart attack. He has been trying hard for the present this year. He even borrowed money from his in-laws. In my previous life, because of that gift, he obtained the Emperor's favor and obtained the tea leaf trade that he was aiming for.

He would go all-out, but if he failed this time, he would suffer from debt.

"Well, that's not my problem."

What is urgent now is my money, not their money. Now I've found the wanted criminal,

"I've got to catch it myself."

That's how I'm gonna get the prize.

I extended my hand towards the duke sitting in his chair.

“Dyuke, hug me”

“…….”

Duke looked at me

'Sad, he usually hugs me right away.'

Only after I took a curious glance, did Duke place me on his lap.

"What brings you here?"

Well, considering he was trying to listen, he must be in a good mood today.

That means I don't have to run away now or avoid it for now.

“Bwaine wants to learn.”

"I'm sure you've learned the letters."

“Now I know all the letters. I studied hard and I wanted something new. “

The Duke looked at me and then opened his mouth again.

“It will be hard to spend time with Henry and Isaac if you take classes in earnest.”

"It's okay."

“They're your favorite.you don't want to go for a minute, right? ”

Why are you talking about it here? I tilted my head. Everyone in the room looked at me with a look of despair.

I don't know what this feeling is, but the experience I've had tells me. I have to do well here.

"No. Henly and Isyac are the best in the world. But the person I like the most in the universe is dyuke!” (No. Henry and Isaac are the best in the world, but the person I like the most in the universe is a duke!)

“…….”

I looked at the duke's expression with a nervous heart.

“......Who taught you this?”

Duke, who was smiling, lightly glanced at my head. I saw followers and administrators at the front desk.

Viscount Dubos answered quickly as if a button had been pressed.

"Where does a child learn to say that?"

"really so. Your baby must really like you. I've never even heard of it from my kids.”

"really?"

The other followers also echoed, saying, "I envy you!"

“My daughter is very upset whenever I ask for a hug.”

“I always beg my daughter to hug me.”

Finally, the duke's lips curled up. I wiped the sweat on my forehead with the back of my hand.

"They're very good at compliments."

The duke allowed himself to accept the praise of the subordinates solemnly.

"I'll tell Nos."

"No!"

I screamed in amazement, but suddenly I came to my senses and laughed awkwardly.

“Nos has a lot of documents to work on. I'll study with others” (Nos has a lot of work to do. I'll study with others.)

"But…"

“Kakak and kawkak admwinistrator it's smart.” (Sister and brother of smart administrator)

I spoke childishly as I could. Immediately, the follower in the office nodded,

“I heard he had fun with the administrators, and they seemed to like him.”

Duke nodded. Eventually, I managed to turn a criminal fugitive into my teacher as planned.

***

Two days later in the morning.

Lea and the servants surrounded me. I have a packing box in my hand.

"That's all a Child's Day gift."

“You're curious aren't you?”

"Really?"

Handmade gloves and mufflers, ribbons, pens, sketchbooks. I've known everything since yesterday, but I pretend otherwise.

I don't forget to jump in and smile widely every time the gifts are opened one by one. The servants beamed and hugged me.

“Small Mona is very cute today~”

But, I am truly grateful for their sincerity.

I took out a few books and headed to the administrator room. Charlie, Seria, and Jacob were there first.

“An honor can teach you. I know I'm not good enough, but I'll do my best.”

Seria greeted me and continued.

"Jacob and Charlie will teach you the language of the Empire, and I will teach you history."

“Let's learn the imperial language from Jacob and Charlie first, then let's go around the castle with me and talk about the history of Dubbled!”

Seria is very motivated. The class started when I nodded. Meanwhile, Jacob's eyes looked very unusual today.

“I heard you memorized those letters in two days. Now, let's combine those letters and create a word.”

“Come learn a foreign language first.”

Charlie suddenly enters and hits Jacob in the head with a thick book.

"How can he speak a foreign language when he is not yet fluent in the imperial language?"

"Unless you're not stupid, you'll learn it naturally."

Then he pushed Jacob to the side and looked at me.

“Other Dubbeds kids know how to memorize the Bible when they're their age. I'm sure he can learn the Imperial language, right?”

Oops.

Unfortunately, I'm not a real Dubbled, to be able to memorize the Bible at that age. Even after he was humiliated yesterday, his attitude remained unchanged.

Instead, he seemed to be becoming even more terrifying.

"I don't know where you heard those rumors, but it was a very good choice to choose me as your teacher."

“To be honest, I think I should take responsibility for everything in your education. Yeah, well, take this as an exercise, I look forward to the future.”

It was completely different from the Nos class, which focused on key points and still allowed me to actively participate.

It was a class where he only boasted about his knowledge. If I were really just a child, I wouldn't understand anything.

After first class, I went to Seria class.

I heard the servants chatting as I went to the castle

“The new administrator really gives me goosebumps except Seria.”

"I agree with Charlie, but why Jacob?"

"I don't like her looking at her baby and saying she's small and cute all the time."

“But it's true our baby is small and cute.”

“... His gaze is like the gaze of an animal.”

"You're too sensitive."

When all the servants left except Lea, Seria ran,

“Small phone!”

He had a thick stack of data in his hands. His forehead was full of sweat.

“I should have come earlier. Ii'm sorry. I've stopped by the library for my last checkup. ”

"It's okay."

“You are very good..”

Seria, smiling, walked over to me. Naturally, Lea had retreated backwards. I feel that Seria is a very good teacher.

"She must be used to teaching children."

The explanation is not difficult at all. Plus, he's good at handling kids.

“Agh!”

As I fell while concentrating on her explanation, Lea ran over in amazement.

“Little Mona, are you okay? Your knees are red.”

Unlike Lea, who was very worried, Seria fixed my skirt and said calmly.

"Are you okay?"

Seria, who fixed my skirt, got up. Then the tip of her skirt was pushed upwards as her legs opened.

There's a burn scar on his leg.
