While hearing Aaron and the knightsâ laughter in the living room, Mylia leaned against the wall and contacted her Master with telepathy.
ăHello? Master? Are you sleeping?ă(Mylia)
ăâŠ.Hohe?ă(Titania)
ăMaster, Iâm sorry if youâre sleeping, butăŒă(Mylia)
ăăŒFwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh~~ NymMmM~âŠ.. Iâm not sleepingâŠ.ă(Titania)
ăHow can I believe you after that long yawn!?ă(Mylia)
ăIf I say Iâm not sleeping, Iâm not sleeping⊠I just feel a bit dull⊠So? Whatâs wrong?ă(Titania)
Mylia wanted to âtsukkomiâ again at first but she stopped because it was an emergency.
ăToday, the caravan came with Chloe onee-chanâs engagement letter.ă(Mylia)
ăEh? Isnât it too soon?ă(Titania)
ăRight!? It seems like Baron Hansen canât wait any longer!ă(Mylia)
ăI see⊠It will be difficult to avoid the marriage once they get engaged, right?ă(Titania)
ăIt seems so. Once their engagement is approved by the kingdom, canceling the marriage will require both of the family headsâ signatures. It seems that it can be canceled unilaterally, but it requires a crazy amount of money.ă(Mylia)
If the engagement was approved, Baron Hansen would definitely marry Chloe once she turns twelve.
ïŒI have to do something before the knights leave this territory!ïŒ
ăHumans do like troublesome things⊠ReallyâŠă(Titania)
ăMaster, Iâm planning to destroy the engagement letter. What do you think?ă(Mylia)
ăWill Chloe be saved if you do that?ă(Titania)
ăYes! It looks like they will give that letter to Baron Hansen first to be confirmed, and then they will send that letter to the church in Hamanulle.ă(Mylia)
ăAh, I see. If you destroy the letter, the engagement wonât happen, right?ă(Titania)
ăExactly. So⊠Can I use magic on the knights?ă(Mylia)
ăOf course, go ahead.ă(Titania)
ăReally!?ă(Mylia)
Now that Mylia got her masterâs permission, she began to think about what to do.
When she looked around the living room, she saw Robin approaching the captain of the knights, pouring sake into his cup, wrapping her arm around his shoulder, and started touching his body all over.
ïŒUhh⊠the hell is she doing? I feel like Iâm seeing something I shouldnât seeâŠïŒ
The captain seemed pleased with Robinâs âhospitalityâ.
ïŒAs expected from a woman who was divorced for cheating on her husbandâŠ.. Donât tell me⊠She always does this to the captain every time he comes here?ïŒ
Mylia looked away, trying not to pay attention to them.
ăâŠlyaâŠâŠ Mylia⊠OăŒi, Mylia, are you listening?ă(Titania)
ăAh, Iâm sorry, Master.ă(Mylia)
ăWhat happened?ă(Titania)
ăNo, nothing. Itâs just⊠Robin isâŠă(Mylia)
ăRobin? Your divorced older sister? One sec, Iâll use clairvoyance⊠letâs see⊠Uwaahh⊠Your older sister is so shamelessâŠă(Titania)
ăI never thought of her as my older sister.ă(Mylia)
ăHaha. RightâŠă(Titania)
ăâŠMaster, as you know, I have never used magic on people before, soâŠă(Mylia)
ăFufu. Mylia, youâre such a good girl. Iâm glad you told me first.ă(Titania)
ăRule number 1 : Make sure to tell Master first if you want to use magic on people. Rule number 2 : Use magic without hesitation if you feel in danger. Rule number 3 : Use magic without hesitation when you want to help someone in trouble. Rule number 4 : Do not use magic carelessly in public. Right?ă(Mylia)
Mylia mentioned the rules Titania gave when Mylia became her disciple.
Mylia was happy because it was like family rules.
In her previous life, her family had never had rules like: what time curfew is, what time dinner is, who should clean up the house, ect.
Her good-for-nothing father pushed all the housework to her as if she was the housekeeper.
But now, Titania loved Mylia like her own child.
Mylia was glad that she reincarnated into this world and met Titania.
ăMaster, I remember all the rules.ă(Mylia)
Hearing Myliaâs honest voice, Titania broke into a smile.
ăUn! Good girl, good girl! Iâm glad you remember the rules. And? What are you gonna do?ă(Titania)
ăI think I will simply paralyze the captain and steal the letter.ă(Mylia)
ăUmmâŠ..ă(Titania)
ăIs it no good? Then, I will use gravity magic to slow him down, and use explosion magic to destroy his clothes along with the letter.ă(Mylia)
ăD, Destroy his clothes!? Do you want to make him stark naked!? I donât think itâs a good idea⊠What if you kill him?ă(Titania)
ăDonât worry, I will control the vector of the explosion outwards so it wonât burn his body to ashes.ă(Mylia)
ăOâŠkay? But⊠ummâŠă(Titania)
Sometimes, Myliaâs weird words, such as âVectorâ, âGPSâ, âMicrophoneâ, âSonarâ, ect. made Titaniaâs head hurt.
Titania found that Myliaâs way of thinking was interesting, but she thought that Mylia should be more careful about what she was planning to do.
Besides, Titania thought that using offensive magic wasnât a good idea for this.
ăNo, Mylia. Letâs use a different method. It would be bad if people knew that you can use magic. Besides, even if you destroy that letter, that fat ugly baron can just send another one. Unlike the caravan this time, he doesnât need to form a knight order just to send a letter, so it would be easy to do.ă(Titania)
ăAh, youâre right⊠Even if I destroy this letter now, he will probably send hundreds more letters next timeâŠă(Mylia)
ăRight? So, Mylia, I have an idea.ă(Titania)
ăEh?ă(Mylia)
Titania began to tell Mylia about her idea with a bright voice.
ăâŠDo thisâŠ.. And then⊠That wayâŠ..ă(Titania)
ăOhh⊠I see, I seeâŠ.ă(Mylia)
Thinking that it was a good idea, Mylia decided to follow Titaniaâs suggestion and waited for the knights to leave Atwoodâs territory.
For now, she was just observing the knights in the living room while hearing their laughter.
Part 2
Itâs been four days since the knights escorting Baron Hansenâs caravan arrived.
Various lavender products and dried meat had been exchanged for salt, wheat, and other goods.
There were about a thousand people in Atwood territory, so they needed quite a lot of salt and wheat.
However, because the amount of goods that the caravan could carry was limited, the amount of wheat and salt that could be distributed to each house was only 10 kg at most.
Wheat and salt alone wasnât enough to meet the villagersâ food needs, and thatâs why the villagers still went out to hunt and grew millet.
Even so, they always looked forward to getting the goods from the caravan every six months.
ăThank you very much!ă
ăThank you very much, knight-sama!ă(villagers)
The villagers received wheat, salt, and some bronze coins in exchange for the goods they had delivered to the Atwoodâs mansion.
Their facial expressions were bright when they received the goods.
ăCan I buy these goods this time? Here is the money.ă(Jalda)
ăAlright, no problem. You can take them.ă(captain)
The only merchant in the Atwood territory, Jalda and his son, Jabel, were carrying salt, wheat, spices, fabrics, and iron into their large cart.
ïŒGeh!âŠ.That poor merchant family came, huhâŠïŒ
Mylia was now looking into the backyard from the reading room.
ïŒThe caravan is leaving today, right?ïŒ
The distribution of products, which took four days, was almost over.
The large carriage of the caravan was now packed with Atwoodâs lavender and meat products.
ïŒAh, Onee-chan.ïŒ
Chloe was helping carry goods from one cart to another with a gloomy face.
She has been busy these past four days, so Mylia hasnât talked much to her recently.
Mylia has told Chloe that she would do something about Chloeâs engagement, but she didnât tell Chloe the details.
ïŒTonight⊠Onee-chan, Iâll do something tonight⊠Magic circulation⊠GPS activated⊠Alright, the engagement letter is in the captainâs chest pocketâŠïŒ
Mylia then looked at Chloe with determination in her heart.
After about an hour of distributing the goods, the knights of the caravan were finally preparing for departure.
It didnât take long for them to finish the preparations.
Looks like they already started to prepare last night.
In the corner of the backyard, the captain and Robin were talking with each other.
ăKnight-sama, see you again in six months.ă(Robin)
ăIâm looking forward to seeing you again⊠Here. This is for you.ă(captain)
ăMaa, Iâm so happy. Thank you, knight-sama~âĄă(Robin)
As she said that with a sweet voice, Robin received a bottle of perfume from the captain.
ïŒYikes! That makes me wanna puke!ïŒ
Mylia immediately canceled her magic.
ïŒI donât know what happened between those two in these four days, and I donât wanna imagine itâŠïŒ
After the knights exchanged farewells with Aaron, they finally started moving.
ïŒTheyâre finally leaving, huh⊠Alright, all I have to do now is wait till nightâŠïŒ
Mylia started practicing magic to calm her feelings while waiting for nightfall.
And then, she took a nap after practicing magic because she would carry out the mission at midnight.
âŻâŻâŻ
At midnight, Mylia was woken up by the spell,ăAlarm Clockăthat she had set up before sleeping.
ïŒThis is magic that Master uses to wake herself, but Iâm glad I learned this⊠Alright, this is the time.ïŒ
As Mylia crawled out of her thin bed, Chloe raised her upper body and looked at Mylia.
ăMylia, are you going?ă(Chloe)
Chloe asked Mylia with a low voice.
ăUn. Donât worry, Onee-chan. I wonât let you get engaged to that fat, ugly baron!ă(Mylia)
ăMyliaâŠ. Thank you, MyliaâŠă(Chloe)
Chloe got up from her bed and embraced Mylia.
ăChloe onee-chan⊠I will protect you!ă(Mylia)
After hugging for a moment, Mylia gently pushed Chloeâs shoulder and slowly opened the window.
When the window was opened, the moonlight poured down through it and illuminated Chloeâs anxious face and Penelope and Jasmine who were sleeping soundly in their beds.
Mylia looked back at Chloe and nodded with a smile.
Chloe tried to reach for Mylia, but then she stopped and folded her hands in front of her chest.
ăMylia, please be careful⊠If you think itâs too dangerous, please come backâŠă(Chloe)
ăUn, understood. Well then, Chloe onee-chan, Iâm going.ă(Mylia)
