Chapter 11
Boom!
With her nose held high, Burni grinned and yanked the cap off the elephant’s trunk, causing the elephant to lean forward.
Jingle, jingle.
Coins poured out from the elephant’s trunk.
Burni carefully picked out the cleanest and shiniest coins, gathering a handful with her small hand and placing them into a cloth bag.
She then pushed the rest back into the elephant’s trunk and tightly sealed the cap.
She took out her rabbit bag, put the cloth-wrapped quail egg and the precious cloth bag inside, and then picked up the encouraging Magomi once more.
The reason was that Burni was planning to line up to see the guardian candidate today!
Although she didn’t make a great impression during the summoning ritual, to solve that problem, Burni returned to her room immediately after the ritual ended and diligently read Luriel’s secret notebook.
"Luri, you liar..."
“Luri, you’re a genius.”
Bunny thought so and rubbed under his nose.
Having memorized the two sentences Luriel taught, Bunny hid the notebook back in Toto’s belly and strapped the bag onto his back with a solemn look.
He had prepared the gift and memorized Luriel’s lines perfectly.
‘Bunny is going to make a guardian now.’
Bunny walked out of the room confidently and stood behind the line of children waiting.
Among the beautifully dressed children in colorful dresses or stylish suits, Bunny, in quite shabby clothes, stood at the very back, swinging his rabbit bag.
“You.”
At the voice from the back, Bunny tilted his head and turned around.
“Oh, it’s the King Snake.”
“I’m Allen!”
Allen looked at Bunny’s shabby appearance with a somewhat troubled face.
‘Who is this?
Coming over so casually...’
Even though he would probably call it disgusting if he saw my real self...
‘Why does he look like he just picked up some random clothes?’
Regardless of Allen’s thoughts, Bunny snickered and subtly turned his back to Allen.
The floppy legs of the rabbit bag swung back and forth.
Jealous, huh?
—Bunny’s gaze seemed to say.
Allen’s mouth twitched.
“...Clothes.”
“Huh?”
“I’ll buy you clothes later.
Let’s go.”
Allen, with his earlobes slightly red, spoke gruffly and quickly turned around, extending a hand.
Bunny’s eyes widened.
Soon, among the children holding their parents’ hands, Allen and Bunny, holding hands tightly, moved forward.
* * *
The Yudia family’s banquet was crowded with both direct and collateral relatives.
Of course, even though the crowded banquet had started, no one came to Bunny’s side.
Oh, except for Allen.
Since they were from the same collateral line, other children gathered in groups with their parents or others, chatting and catching up, but no one approached Bunny and Allen, as if a barrier had been set up around them.
“I’m going there.”
Of course, Bunny, who was tense even before entering, was not interested in such things.
“Huh?
Where...”
Allen reached out but couldn’t touch Bunny.
Seeing Bunny moving away through the crowd, Allen froze.
“Hey!”
Allen, with a confused expression, hurriedly made his way through the crowd.
The reason was that Bunny was heading towards the Yudia family’s direct line.
That’s not all.
There were also children who ranked high in the exam mansion and were expected to lead the next generation of the Yudia family.
Bunny squeezed his way through, stood in front of someone, and bowed deeply.
With his hair touching the ground, Bunny opened his mouth confidently.
“Hello.”
“Hey...!”
Allen also squeezed his way out of the crowd and reached out, but he was startled by the gazes directed at him and took a few steps back.
“Um, I’m four years old, Bunny.”
As Bunny spread out four fingers and spoke, everyone’s mouths fell open.
The reason was that the person Bunny approached was Kiriel Yudia, who was known to be extremely indifferent and lethargic among the Yudia direct line, with only his appearance being considered holy and sacred.
Kiriel Yudia, who would completely ignore anything he didn’t want to deal with, didn’t move a finger, and more people were ignored by him, whether they were children or adults.
Born as the youngest of the Yudia family, overcoming the demon curse, blessed with overflowing divine power, and summoning a man who even made the usually aloof Yudia Duke during the summoning ritual at the age of seven.
However, perhaps due to his unique birth, he seemed to lack emotions, was indifferent to others, and did not deal with those inferior to him, spending most of his time in a separate room within the temple.
That was Kiriel Yudia.
Just a moment ago, he had been sitting with a dead-eyed expression and a bored face, resting his chin on his hand, showing no interest in the banquet.
“Tsk, how...”
Everyone clicked their tongues in unison.
It didn’t seem likely that Kiriel Yudia would take an interest in a child who had only summoned a quail egg.
Many children admired Kiriel Yudia, but only a few had actually interacted with him.
The man, who was said to even find speaking a nuisance, had no prejudices, so to speak.
In other words, he equally ignored both children and adults.
“Rothis Empire Year 887!”
Bunny, who perfectly pronounced the difficult words he had failed at several times, let out a sigh and wiped the sweat that hadn’t even dripped from his sleeve.
“Oarl Sipparil!
Southern Rubia...
Hello?
Ruby, hello...?”
Bunny hesitated as he suddenly greeted Ruby.
‘This isn’t right...’
Bunny’s eyes rolled silently.
Kiriel Yudia, who had been watching quietly, chuckled and spoke.
“Rubia?”
The mixed laughter in his voice caused people to gasp once again.
Kiriel Yudia had smiled.
That Kiriel Yudia had even spoken.
And even corrected the word.
“Ah.
Yes!
Thank you.”
Bunny, pleased, bowed again and continued his speech.
“Rubia!
—A plague occurred in!
The remedy’s ingredient is the sap of the Minera tree!”
Having finally recited perfectly without looking at the book, Bunny puffed out his chest proudly.
Hmph.
Bunny, indeed a genius!
Kiriel Yudia blinked once after hearing what Bunny said.
Kiriel Yudia slowly moved to kneel in front of Bunny and looked into his eyes.
“Did a plague occur in Southern Rubia on May 18, Year 887 of the Rothis Empire?”
Wow, Bunny.
How did you speak so perfectly?
With his prominent nose, Bunny rubbed under his nose and raised one hand to answer.
“Yes!”
“The remedy’s ingredient is the sap of the Minera tree...?”
Although the slow and somewhat drawn-out tone might have seemed a bit frustrating, Bunny grinned and nodded.
Kiriel Yudia rubbed his chin a few times and spoke.
“How did you know this?”
Hmph.
This question was already perfectly mastered.
As expected of Luriel’s acknowledged top genius.
“Here!
Bunny’s egg told me!”
Bunny proudly showed the quail egg wrapped in tissue from the swinging rabbit bag and spoke.
