Chapter 39

Preparations

โ€œAsk the guardian beasts to find Marion and report back on her condition!โ€

โ€œBut, guardian beastsโ€ฆโ€

I look at Da-u.

โ€œWoof?โ€

Da-u tilts his head cutely.

If the guardian beasts are like Da-u, I worry whether theyโ€™ll actually find Marion. Even if they do, would they understand her condition?

Da-u is a dog, but if he leaves the mansion and walks for a while, I feel like heโ€™d get lost. Even if he managed to find her by using his dog skills, observing and reporting her condition is probably impossible.

โ€˜Donโ€™t worry, Luria-sama. Guardian beasts are smart.โ€™

โ€œHmm.โ€

โ€˜Carro and Koruko are also guardian beasts.โ€™

โ€œIs that so!โ€

โ€œKyukyu.โ€ โ€œKoo.โ€

Carro and Koruko are more reliable than Da-u. It seems that not all guardian beasts are like babyish Da-u.

โ€˜Besides, the guardian beasts Iโ€™ll ask are the birds in the courtyard.โ€™

โ€œWhat! Those birds are guardian beasts too?โ€

โ€˜Thatโ€™s right. Those birds know Marionโ€™s face, are intelligent, and are the perfect fit.โ€™

โ€œI see!โ€

Thatโ€™s reassuring. Still, there seem to be more guardian beasts than I thought. Itโ€™s comforting.

While I was thinking about this, my mother flipped the blanket off me.

โ€œOh my, Luria. What are you doing under the blanket?โ€

โ€œMmmph. A meeting!โ€

โ€œYou must be hot; your face is bright red.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m not hot!โ€

I said that, but since Da-u, Koruko, Carro, and I were huddled together under the blanket, it was hot.

โ€œWhat was the meeting about?โ€

โ€œSecret!โ€

โ€œOh my.โ€

After eating breakfast with my mother, I moved to the courtyard with Kuro, Da-u, and the others. I bowed my head to the gathered birds.

โ€˜Everyone, please search for Marion.โ€™

โ€œPlease.โ€

โ€œHooh hooh.โ€

โ€˜Marion is in the western regionโ€”โ€™

It seemed Kuro had already gathered some information.

After Kuro finished explaining, most of the birds took off. Only one large hawk remained.

โ€˜If you guard the area, Kuro can relax.โ€™

โ€œKyurururu~.โ€

In the following days:

In the mornings, I studied medical books in the library.

It was very difficult, and I couldnโ€™t understand even half of it, butโ€”

โ€˜That illness occurs when oneโ€™s magical power is depleted!โ€™

โ€œWhoa.โ€

I studied while Kuro, unexpectedly knowledgeable, taught me.

In the afternoons, I trained in swordsmanship. Without physical strength, itโ€™s hard to use healing magic.

Iโ€™m still young. My body isnโ€™t fully developed, so I donโ€™t think I can use magic very well. Unlike my previous life, Iโ€™m not a โ€œSaintโ€ now.

Unlike before, I canโ€™t borrow endless magical power from the spirits and freely use it.

Thatโ€™s why I must rely on the method I used in my previous life when I ran out of stamina and magical power to heal myself.

โ€œMagical powerโ€ฆ running outโ€ฆโ€

โ€˜I donโ€™t think thatโ€™s true, thoughโ€ฆโ€™

โ€œIf something happens, Iโ€™ll rely on you too, Kuro.โ€

Even though Iโ€™m not a Saint anymore, if I can borrow power from the spirits, I might be able to use stronger healing magic.

โ€˜Of course Iโ€™ll lend you my strength, butโ€ฆ is there a point?โ€™

โ€œThere might not be. But please?โ€

โ€˜Understood.โ€™

I understand why Kuro thinks that lending me power might be pointless. Receiving magic from spirits, absorbing it into oneself, activating magic, and controlling that powerโ€”all require separate skills, talent, and the physical ability to wield it.

โ€œI may not have the right body or talent, but I have the skills!โ€

Iโ€™m fine because I have the skills I developed in my previous life.

To improve my physical ability to control magical power, I just need to build my strength through swordsmanship training, and hopefully, itโ€™ll get a little better.

Of course, improving physical ability doesnโ€™t happen overnight.

Building the magical circuits in my body takes time, and itโ€™s not easy to improve the strength or cardiovascular function to support it.

Even if I practice now, it would just be a makeshift effort, and it probably wonโ€™t have much effect.

But still, itโ€™s better than doing nothing.

โ€œHunh! Hunh!โ€ โ€œWoof! Woof!โ€

The maids commented while watching Da-u and me practice swordsmanship:

โ€œToday, Lady Luriaโ€™s spirit is different.โ€

After dinner, when the family gathered, I didnโ€™t forget to bring up the topic of Marion.

Because Iโ€™m a strategist.

โ€œIโ€™m worried about Marion.โ€

โ€œYesโ€ฆ It seems her illness is lingering a bit.โ€

My mother looked worried too.

Father and my siblings also had slightly sad expressions.

โ€œMother, did you know Marion from before?โ€

Iโ€™ll start by gathering information naturally.

โ€œYes, Marion is the daughter of a baron family from my fatherโ€™s side.โ€

It turns out Marion was the daughter of a baron.

Iโ€™ve heard that my mother is from an old marquis family. Although my grandfather passed away, Iโ€™ve met my uncle, my motherโ€™s older brother, the current head of the family, several times.

He visits us almost every summer.

My uncle, the marquis, is about twenty years older than my mother and was very kind.

โ€œWhat kind of person is Marionโ€™s husband?โ€

This is something I need to ask as well.

โ€œHeโ€™s the son of a knight who served my father, your grandfather.โ€

โ€œA knight and a baronโ€™s family, huh?โ€

โ€œMy late father highly valued Marionโ€™s husbandโ€™s fatherโ€ฆ But this might be a bit complicated for you to understand, Luria.โ€

โ€œMmmph.โ€

In other words, it seems that my late grandfather, the previous marquis, was the one who arranged the marriage.

From what I heard, Marion was the only daughter of a baron.

Itโ€™s generally difficult for a woman to inherit land in this country, so Marionโ€™s husband was chosen as her groom and took her familyโ€™s name.

He was a very talented knight who served my deceased grandfather with great loyalty.

Now, heโ€™s inherited the title of baron.

By marrying into the family and inheriting the barony, Marionโ€™s husband must be quite capable.

โ€œโ€ฆIs Marion in that barony?โ€

โ€œNo, sheโ€™s in a mansion in the capital.โ€

Noble families who own territories usually have estates both in their land and in the capital.

It seems Marion is staying at the baronโ€™s mansion in the capital.

The mansion where Iโ€™m currently staying is also in the capital. So Marion isnโ€™t too far away.

Iโ€™ve obtained the information I wanted.

Although I canโ€™t see him, Kuro must have heard it as well.

If Kuro heard it, it should be communicated to the guardian birds as well.

โ€œโ€ฆHmm. Marion is in the capital, then.โ€

I deliberately spoke louder so that Kuro could hear.

โ€œโ€ฆLuria. Youโ€™re not planning to go see Marion alone, are you?โ€

โ€œNo, of course not!โ€

โ€œOf course not. But can you promise me that?โ€

โ€œI can promise.โ€

I quickly changed the subject to avoid being asked for more promises.

โ€œAnyway, I want to see the wet nurse!โ€

โ€œThe wet nurseโ€™s child? Yes, butโ€ฆโ€

โ€œMarion must be lonely because sheโ€™s sick. If I pet Da-u, sheโ€™ll feel better.โ€

โ€œWoof? โ€ฆWoof!โ€

Da-u wagged his tail energetically.

โ€œHmmโ€ฆโ€

Mother seemed a little troubled. I needed to push a bit more.

โ€œIs the wet nurseโ€™s child sick?โ€

โ€œNo, theyโ€™re not sick.โ€

โ€œThen, itโ€™s not contagious, right?โ€

โ€œWell, thatโ€™s true, butโ€ฆโ€

โ€œFather! I want to see the wet nurseโ€™s child!โ€

I had to convince my father as well.

โ€œLuria.โ€

Father picked me up.

โ€œThe outside of the mansion is dangerous.โ€

โ€œShould I hide my red hair?โ€

โ€œYes, that would be better. Amalia, do you think it would be difficult?โ€

โ€œHmm, wellโ€ฆโ€

โ€œLuria is already five years old. We canโ€™t keep her in the mansion forever, can we?โ€

โ€œYesโ€ฆ It will require some preparation, though.โ€

โ€œYay!โ€

It was easier than I expected to get permission to meet the wet nurseโ€™s child.
