“Ah…… Is, is that so?”
For a moment, confusion hardened her face. Shasha continued speaking.
“Yes! My family hates me, but sister likes me! So…… so I like it too! Is that not okay……?”
Sometimes the purity of a child’s words can be uncomfortable. Shasha spoke without any concern, but the family was unnecessarily stung by what she said, and they hated Shasha even more.
As if knowing something and acting that way is correct.
But now that she had come to love Shasha, it didn’t bother her at all.
“It’s not wrong. It’s okay.”
“Yes!”
“Shall we go in now?”
Shasha nodded her round face up and down. But despite appearing cheerful, Shasha looked a little tired.
“Shasha, do your legs hurt?”
“Yes.”
“Shall I carry you?”
“No! Shasha is not a baby! I can walk by myself!”
Striving to look cheerful, so as not to be hated by me who loves her, the child shook her head. It was pitiful but also endearing.
“You can ask to be held when you want to be. Shasha can do that.”
“Really?”
“Yes!”
“You’ll still like me if I do that? Sister?”
“Of course.”
Shasha, who was slightly smaller than children her age, stretched her arms out to me, whether her legs were hurting or not.
“Yes! Sister, I’d like you to carry me…… I’d like that.”
I held the child, looking at Shasha’s reddened cheeks.
“Where did you go today?”
“I went to the magic tower today! So I’m tired. The magic tower has a lot of stairs, so I don’t like to go…… Ah! No, it’s okay. The family likes it when I go to the magic tower……”
“If you don’t want to go, you don’t have to.”
“Really?”
Shasha looked at me, her eyes twinkling. How much she must have hated going, to smile so happily at just that one statement.
“Yes. If it’s not okay, I’ll talk to the lord of the magic tower.”
“Wow…… But the lord of the magic tower is a bit scary…… I’m worried that he might get angry at you, sister.”
“Don’t worry. Your sister is quite capable!”
The old lord of the magic tower. If he torments my sister, I have something in mind.
‘I could make him retire early.’
The story of Shasha’s childhood was not often mentioned in the novel. But it was not entirely absent. Major events that would be recorded in history were all described.
One of those was the first time in history that the lord of the magic tower resigned. The magic tower earned money by providing magical tools in various places, and the lord of the magic tower had pocketed some of it.
Whether in the modern world or here, there always existed people obsessed with money. Since the amount pocketed was enormous, he was kicked out in a most pitiful fashion.
So if he torments our Shasha, sending the lord of the magic tower away early would do. Shasha will never have to do anything she dislikes again. Fortunately, whether the child understood my intentions or not, she slowly nodded her head.
“Yes! Sister, then Shasha doesn’t want to go to the magic tower!”
“Is it okay to go to the temple?”
“Yes! They give lots of delicious things there! So…… I’m going to eat with sister, and I brought this…….”
It was at that moment when Shasha was about to take something out of her pocket.
“You’re putting on a show, aren’t you?”
The sudden voice made both Shasha and me stop what we were doing and turn our heads toward the source of the sound. Looking very displeased, the mistress of my body, Isabella’s mother, was glaring at us.
Shasha seemed surprised and stopped trying to take something out. Even worse, her body twitched.
Was she scared, or was it a hiccup that she started to have?
“Hiccup…… Hiccup…….”
“Are you okay, Shasha?”
“I’m…… okay…….”
I knew for sure there was no abuse, but why was Shasha acting like this?
Meanwhile, mother approached us.
“Mother. Why are you talking like that?”
“What?”
“About the show.”
“It is a show. So what? Why carry her around? She might really think she has no legs or something.”
At those words, Shasha squirmed. It was a nonverbal request to be put down. I would have preferred not to let her go, but I put Shasha on the ground, thinking we both might fall if I didn’t.
“I’m sorry……”
“Shanencia. Didn’t I tell you that acting out will only make people hate you more? I’m tolerating you because you’re mine, but try doing that somewhere else. You know how much people curse at you behind your back while saying it’s okay in front of you?”
“……Yes.”
“I don’t know if you’re stupid, or why you can’t understand.”
Shasha’s eyes turned toward me. Asking if her sister hated her, if she was cursing at her. Her face seemed filled with such emotions.
The difference between remembering the Countess’s actions from my memory and actually seeing them felt quite significant.
Her harsh voice was so suffocating that even I had trouble breathing.
Even a child can clearly feel who likes them and who doesn’t. I wonder how hard it’s been for Shasha all this time.
“I am stupid. But I don’t curse. I’m pretty.”
Mother chuckled, shifting her gaze from Shasha to me.
“You’ve really got yourself a goodytwoshoes sister.”
