Leonhardt liked spirits. There was something familiar about them for some reason.
In fairy tale books, he was not scared of them, even though they usually play a villain.
âThe youngest Young Master. Would you like to go for a walk around the fairy tree garden today?â
âThe Fairy Tree? Whatâs that?â
âItâs the tree where fairies who protect the Brighton family from generation to generation lived.â
âWow! Thatâs amazing!â
Leonhardt sprang up from his seat.
âWhatâs the difference between a fairy and a ghost?â
âHmm. I am not sure. Iâm sorry, youngest Young Master.â
âItâs okay. Thereâs a lot I donât know.â
Leonhardt was excited at the thought of going to see the fairy tree.
But the maid could not enter the fairyâs tree garden.
âOnly Brighton can enter, and there are beast chimeras inside. Letâs enter the garden next time.â
âYes, I see.â
Leonhardt was a little disappointed, but he didnât let it show in his face.
He was so happy these days that it didnât matter if he couldnât get into the garden.
âBut I can go with my sister!â
As Leonhardt expected, Roselina took him to the fairy tree garden.
âWowâ¦â
Leonhardt admired it.
The moment he entered the garden, the air became clear.
âI think my mind became clearer and my body became lighter.ââ
I guess the beasts forgot about me. They were shy.
âItâs okay! We can get closer again.â
So Leonhardt went in and out of the fairy tree garden every day.
âSheâs really amazing.â
Roselina was now in charge of the beasts.
She packed meals and snacks and checked if the beasts were sick.
That alone would have made her very busy, but she also worked hard talking to each beast.
âItâs the meat that you said was delicious yesterday.â
â Creung.
Roselinaâs words made the beast cry satisfactorily.
Roselina also spoke to the next beast.
âYou said you liked this toy, right? I brought several.â
â Kruuuuuu.
âDonât lose it and play with it carefully.â
Leonhardt liked to watch them.
âMy heart is getting soft.â
And then, one day.
âYou need to lose some weight. Stop eating now.â
â Kruuuuu⦠I donât want toâ¦â¦â¦Â Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Even that day, Roselina was feeding the wild beasts.
âYou should eat some rice. What else donât you like?â
â Kruuuu⦠Itâs not deliciousâ¦
âWhat do you mean itâs not good? Itâs good for you, there are a lot of kids who canât eat because they donât have this either.â
â Hing. . . . . . ..
Strange words began to be heard through the cries of the beasts.
âWhat?â
Leonhardt tilted his head.
âDid I hear it wrong?â
Thinking like that, the day passed.
But the next day.
âI told you not to steal his food! Why do you want to eat other kidsâ food when I give it to you according to the amount?
â I took it awayâ¦Â Crrrrrrrrrrrrr.â¦â¦â¦ No, itâs notâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦!
âWhat? Why didnât you eat your meal and give it to her? You skip meals every other day after coming here.â
â The color is⦠â¦
He could hear the beastâs words more clearly than yesterday.
âI didnât hear it wrong!â
Leonhardt clasped his hands and shone his eyes.
âThere must be a special ability to talk to a beast. And I have the ability toâ¦â¦â¦â¦!â
Leonhardt was happy because he felt a little closer to his respected sister.
It wasnât just that.
âHi, fairy tree.â
Leonhard gently stroked the beautiful tree.
The closer he got to the fairy tree, the better he felt.
âHuh? Are youâ¦?â
Leonhardt, who found something, opened his eyes wide.
On the day Roselina came to his rescue, there was a figure that showed in the directorâs office.
It was clearer that day to call it a shadow.
It was a boy the size of Leonhardtâs palm.
Its head and eyes were fresh light green, with two pairs of leaf-shaped wings on its back.
It was exactly what was depicted in the fairy tale.
âWhat I was dreaming of happenedâ¦â¦â¦!â
Leonhardt was so happy that he wanted to jump up and down, but he held back in fear that the little fairy would run away in surprise.
âAre you a fairy?â
Leonhardt lowered his voice and whispered, and the fairy nodded.
âWeâve met before, havenât we? Are you the fairy who came to see me?â
When asked by Leonhardt, the fairy nodded again this time.
Leonhardtâs face was animated.
âWow! Nice to see you again. Thank you very much for the last time.â
Leonhard, feeling friendly, chattered.
âYou know, looking at you really makes sense.â
The fairy tilted his head at Leonhardtâs words.
âI really thought I was abandoned because I was a bad kid. But, it wasnât the case. My sister came running to me as soon as she found out about my existence, and you came to me, too. I wasnât abandoned.â
The fairy, who listened to Leonhardt, flapped his wings as if affirming.
âYou know, itâs a secret, but I want to grow up and help children like me. I need to grow up fast to do that, right? I need to get stronger.â
It was floating in front of Leonhardtâs face, and then flew closer.
â Do you want to find your strength?
âHuh? Strength? What strength do I have?â
â The power you originally have
âIâm not sure what you mean. But I want it! Because I love spirits!â
Leonhardtâs green eyes glowed blue.
âAnd if I have strength, it may help you.â
Leonhardt really liked the Spirit.
But in fact, there was something he liked more than spirits.
It was his sister.
Still, sometimes Leonhardt had nightmares at night.
It was because of the fear that when he opened his eyes, he would be in the Hope of the Poor again.
But Roselina was the one who helped him overcome his fear.
âIf that happens again, my sister will come to my rescue.â
Because of that faith, Leonhardt was able to smile brightly, eat deliciously, and jump excitedly.
So he really wanted to be of help to his sister someday.
â All right. Iâ¦Iâll give you back the power Iâve kept at risk of my life.
Leonhardt has not yet fully understood the fairyâs words.
However, he felt a refreshing and green energy spreading through his body.
âWowâ¦â¦â¦â¦!â
When he closed his eyes and opened them, the fairy was gone.
âWhere did it go?â
Leonhardt turned his head.
âI told you to stop ripping the doll! You guys donât even clean this up!â
â Lions are cute. Kyuu.
âYou better keep your mouth shut!â
There was no fairy in sight, but Roselina was scuffling with the beasts from a distance.
âI heard it, youâre no longer a child. Youâve aged this much, but why are you acting like a baby now? You scammers.â
â Iâm embarrassed to hear that.
â Lions are precious, so we have to listen to only good words and pretty words. Kyuu.
âUgh, let me tell youâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â
Roselina pretended not to like it, but was taking care of the beasts with all her heart, and the beasts also seemed to know that.
Leonhardt, who was trying to run toward his sister without thinking much, stopped.
âOhâ¦â
He can hear all the beasts
Leonhardt immediately reported this to Roselina.
âSister, I think I understand what the beasts are saying.â
âWhat? What do you mean?â
âI donât know either. Maybe my ears adapted because weâve been together.
Leonhardt grinned.
***
No, heâs not here for language study. Does this make sense?
He lost his mind for a moment trying to take care of the beasts, so he thought he heard some nonsense.
But at that moment.
â I see our king.
â Greetings to our king.
â Itâs an honor to finally meet the king.
All the beast chimeras bowed their heads.
âWhatâs going on?â
But this time, the beast chimeras bowed to him.
â I would like to express my eternal gratitude and respect to you for saving our king.
â You are an eternal friend of our clan.
At that moment, a notification came to mind.
[A big change!]
[Something that wasnât fated to happen has changed!]
[The spirits saved the kingâs life and made him regain his will!]
[The spirits hidden throughout the continent are greatly pleased.]
[You earned the title, ãThe benefactor of the Spirit King and Guardian of the Spiritsã]
[From now on, all spirits will show favor to you!]
[100 fateful energy will be given]
âWhat?â
Being stunned by the pouring notifications, I finally came to my senses after a while.
âWas Leonhardt really the king? The Spirit King?â
What I did without much thought turned his fate upside down, and the notification window was a mess.
The reward was not over there.
[SkillãThe one who breaks the Wheel of Fateã level up!]
[Leveling up]â¦â¦â¦ [Successfully leveled up!]
[Current rating: C]
[50 Fate energy will be given as a reward]
[Scenario ãA person who peeks and changes fate is created as a level-up reward]
[A new quest has occurred. Do you want to check?]
The notification came to mind again without giving her time to check the quest.
