The Reincarnated Young Girl Is Adored by the Spirits She Helped in Her Previous Life
I didn’t expect to be hugged by my mother, so I was surprised.
“Huh?”
“Entering the forest, involving Sara, and not obeying the attendants were all bad decisions.”
“Yeah.”
“But, helping the person who was collapsed was a praiseworthy thing. You were great.”
“…Yeah, heh.”
“Kyun?”
Darw , who had half-lifted his body, tilted his head as he looked at me and my mother.
“Of course, as a noble young lady, it wasn’t something to be praised.”
“So, what should a young lady do?”
“Let the servants handle it. In this case, you should have ordered Thomas to take care of it.”
“Hmm?”
Since normal young ladies can’t use healing magic, that seems to be the correct way.
“It wasn’t the proper behavior for a young lady, but it was the right thing to do as a person.”
“Really?”
“Yes, I’m proud of Luria.”
“Hehe. Ehehehehe.”
“And, coming to explain to me, even though you knew you’d be scolded, to protect Thomas was also commendable.”
“Really? Ehehehehe.”
“That’s not something everyone can do. Luria, you did well.”
Then my mother looked at Sara.
“Thank you for protecting Luria. And I’m sorry for involving you.”
“No! Sara wasn’t involved!”
“I see. Thank you.”
My mother hugged Sara and patted her head.
“Hahahaha.”
Darw , sitting obediently, looked at my mother and wagged his tail, waiting to be praised.
“Darw , you also listened well to Luria, and that was great.”
“Woof~”
As my mother patted Darw , she said:
“Protecting Luria, that’s not something just anyone can do. You’re a loyal dog.”
“Woof!”
Darw looked proud.
“Good job, Darw . Thank you,” I said. “You’re amazing.”
“Woof~”
Sara and I patted Darw a lot.
“…Now then, Luria. By the way…”
“Huh? Is it snack time?”
“Woof woof.”
Snacks after being praised are the best.
Hearing the word snack, Darw ’s tail started wagging faster.
“No, that’s not it.”
“Huh?” “Woof?”
Both Darw and I were shocked, and my mother said:
“Luria, can you use healing magic?”
“…Well.”
“Can you heal someone on the brink of death?”
“…Well, that’s…”
“Luria? Be honest.”
“Yes. I can use it.”
I lost to my mother’s pressure and ended up telling the truth.
“So, who taught you healing magic?”
“Who? Uhm… Kuro?”
“Kuro? Who is that?”
“Well, it’s this child.”
‘Even if you say that, Mother can’t see Kuro.’
Kuro, who had floated over nearby, said.
“I can’t be seen, but I’m here. I’m a spirit.”
“…I see. I want to say it’s hard to believe, but I guess I have to believe you.”
“Will you believe me?”
“Well, since you can actually use healing magic, I have no choice but to believe you.”
“I see.”
I felt relieved, but my mother spoke to me with a serious expression.
“Luria, you need to keep your ability to use healing magic a secret.”
“Got it!”
“…You’re quite obedient. Don’t you want to ask why?”
“Uhm, Kuro said to keep it a secret, too.”
“I see. Kuro, please take care of Luria.”
‘Understood.’
“He said ‘understood!’”
My mother bowed her head in an empty direction.
Kuro moved to the front of my mother and whispered, ‘It’s understood.’
“Kuro said, ‘It’s understood.’”
Afterward, my mother also spoke to Marion, the maid, Thomas, and the head attendant.
“Make sure no one finds out that Luria can use healing magic.”
“Understood.”
“Don’t tell it to your subordinates, superiors, parents, children, or even His Majesty the King.”
“…Understood.”
Everyone lowered their heads with serious expressions.
“Sara, you too?”
“Got it! I’ll keep it a secret.”
“Good girl.”
Sara smiled and said, “Ehehe,” as my mother patted her head.

After Luria and the others had left the room, Amalia once again emphasized:
“…As before, make sure Luria’s secret is never spoken of.”
“Understood.”
“Thomas, letting the patient Luria healed leave without further investigation was a mistake.”
“…I’m truly sorry.”
To keep Luria’s secret, he shouldn’t have allowed the patient to leave. At the very least, he should have asked for their name and status.
“…Thomas, you know more about Luria’s secrets than the other attendants.”
“Yes, I swear on my life, I will never speak of it.”
“I trust you. You will likely be asked to protect Luria more often in the future. I’m counting on you.”
“Understood. It’s an honor.”
The fewer people who know the secret, the better. So, Amalia decided that it would be better to promote Thomas rather than punish him.
“Go investigate who the old man Luria saved was.”
“Shall we remove him to ensure Luria’s safety?”
The head attendant whispered. As someone who always prioritized Luria’s safety, it was a natural decision.
“There’s no need for that. If we do that, Luria’s actions will be in vain.”
“Understood.”
“Just keep him quiet.”
Then, the head attendant and Thomas left the room, leaving Amalia, Marion, and the maid behind.
“…Luria might be a saint.”
“A saint, you say?”
Marion, surprised, listened as Amalia explained the events that had occurred when the villagers had come to petition.
Giant animals had obediently followed Luria’s commands. Just by patting her hands, massive rocks broke and it started to rain.
“And she also broke the curse of the Water Dragon Lord that had been sealed in this land.”
“That… can only be the work of a saint.”
“Yes. This is troublesome. I’ll have to write a letter to Graf again.”
Amalia sighed.
“Graf, sooner or later, will have to bring Luria to the palace.”
“That… sounds troublesome.”
“Indeed.”
If the King learns that Luria is a saint, he will surely try to use her. Not only to suppress the nobility but also as a trump card against the church.
“…Looking at Luria’s hair and eye color, the church won’t stay quiet either.”
Luria will become the center of political struggles. Naturally, many people will try to use her, and it’s likely that her life will be in danger more than ever.
Amalia sighed again.
