Chapter 58

Sara's Reassurance

After my mother finished washing herself, she joined me in the bathtub, and we warmed up together.

Carro and Koruko were relaxing in a bucket placed right next to the bathtub.

Carro was using its little hands to clean its body.

โ€œCarro, youโ€™re so skilled!โ€
โ€œKyuu!โ€

Carro stood up straight in the bucket, looking at me with a smug expression. It seems Carro has a habit of standing up when showing off.

โ€œKoruko, youโ€™re skilled too!โ€
โ€œKoko!โ€

Koruko shook its body like it was taking a dust bath, splashing water in the bucket.

โ€œMother, chickens donโ€™t usually like water baths, do they?โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s right. Generally, chickens prefer dust baths.โ€
โ€œHmm, Koruko is quite different.โ€
โ€œKoo-ko-ko!โ€

It sounded like Koruko was saying, โ€œIโ€™m a guardian beast, after all.โ€

โ€œKo-ko.โ€

Apparently, Koruko dislikes water but enjoys bathing in warm water.

โ€œKyuu-kyuu!โ€

Carro also dislikes cold water. Maybe Carro and Koruko are more like Sara and me than I thought.

โ€œCold water is unpleasant, huh?โ€
โ€œKyuu.โ€ โ€œKoo.โ€

I stepped out of the bathtub and moved to Korukoโ€™s bucket.

โ€œLet me help you wash up.โ€
โ€œKokko.โ€

I poured warm water over Korukoโ€™s head and gently washed its feet.

โ€œLetโ€™s make sure your comb is clean too.โ€
โ€œKoo.โ€

I scooped up water with my hands and gently scrubbed, washing between the feathers.

โ€œDoes it hurt?โ€
โ€œKoo.โ€

Koruko seemed to enjoy it, so it was fine.

โ€œNow itโ€™s Carroโ€™s turn.โ€
โ€œKyuu.โ€

I washed Carro with warm water as well.

โ€œYou both are so clean, Carro and Koruko.โ€
โ€œKyuu.โ€ โ€œKok.โ€

Carro and Koruko were naturally clean, so washing wasnโ€™t necessary most of the time. Still, I made sure to clean the dirt from Carroโ€™s claws, as it tended to dig holes and get dirt stuck there.

Meanwhile, Daru floated on its back in the water, like it was doing a backstroke. I didnโ€™t know how it managed that, but perhaps it was a special ability of guardian beasts.

As for Sara, she was being held by Mother. Resting her head against Motherโ€™s ample chest, Sara twitched her ears as Mother gently embraced her from behind.

โ€œSara, how are you feeling?โ€
โ€œIโ€™m fineโ€ฆ really.โ€
โ€œGood. But if you feel even a little unwell, let me know, okay?โ€
โ€œOkay.โ€

Mother probably checked Saraโ€™s body to ensure there were no signs of red pox as well.

โ€œIs there anything you donโ€™t like to eat, Sara?โ€
โ€œNope!โ€
โ€œAre you sure? Donโ€™t hesitate to tell me.โ€
โ€œOkay.โ€

While I washed Carro and Koruko, I listened to Mother and Saraโ€™s conversation. Sara still seemed a bit tense.

But after chatting for a while:

โ€œUm, Sara is really fast at running!โ€

Saraโ€™s tone lightened up.

โ€œOh? Really?โ€
โ€œYeah, Mama said I was really good at it!โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s wonderful!โ€
โ€œEhehehe.โ€

Sara blushed from Motherโ€™s praise. Perhaps feeling Motherโ€™s kindness reassured her.

I hoped Sara could feel even more at ease.

โ€œA blessing amidst misfortune?โ€

Before Sara met many people, it was good that she could recognize Mother as someone she could trust.

Father, my brothers, my sisters, and the servants were all kind. But to Sara, just being surrounded by many adults must be overwhelming.

Apparently, Sara tends to freeze up when sheโ€™s startled. If there are too many people around, thereโ€™ll inevitably be more opportunities for that to happen.

Now that Sara seemed less tense, this was a chance.

โ€œSara, Iโ€™ve been wondering.โ€
โ€œWhat is it, Luria-sama?โ€
โ€œThat! You donโ€™t have to call me โ€˜sama.โ€™โ€
โ€œEh, butโ€ฆโ€

Sara looked a little troubled and glanced at Mother.

โ€œMother, she doesnโ€™t need to use โ€˜sama,โ€™ right?โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s right. While itโ€™s necessary in formal settings, itโ€™s not needed casually.โ€
โ€œSee? Just call me Luria.โ€
โ€œR-Luria -chan?โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s perfect!โ€

Being called โ€œLuria-chanโ€ felt really nice.

After warming up thoroughly, we all left the bath before anyone got dizzy.

The hardest part after leaving the bath was drying Daru. Since it was so big, we had to use many towels.

Later, we were taken to Motherโ€™s room, where many clothes were laid out.

โ€œWow, thereโ€™s so much!โ€
โ€œThese are clothes Lydia used to wear.โ€

Apparently, these were clothes my sister Lydia wore when she was younger and had been stored at the villa.

โ€œThis outfit would look lovely on Sara.โ€
โ€œIt does!โ€
โ€œReally? Ehehe.โ€

The clothes suited Sara so well; she looked adorable. Together with Mother and the maids, we dressed Sara up like a doll.

โ€œMaybe the light blue dress suits her better?โ€
โ€œHmm, both look great!โ€ โ€œThey both suit you wonderfully, Miss Sara.โ€
โ€œEhehehe.โ€

It was great that we found so many outfits that fit Sara. Now she wouldnโ€™t have to worry about clothes until her custom-made ones were ready.

After our dress-up session, we folded and put away the clothes that didnโ€™t fit Sara.

โ€œMother, what about these?โ€
โ€œOh, those are clothes Gilberto used to wear.โ€
โ€œOh?โ€

I picked up some of my brother Gilbertoโ€™s clothes. They looked like they might fit me.

โ€œShould I try wearing them?โ€

The clothes looked practical and had lots of pockets, which I liked.

As I started changing:

โ€œLuria, do you want to wear Gilbertoโ€™s clothes? Fine, Iโ€™ll help you.โ€

Mother helped me change into them.

Once I was dressed, I spun around. The clothes were very comfortable to move in.

โ€œMother, how do I look?โ€
โ€œLuriaโ€ฆ this is even cuter than I imagined.โ€
โ€œHehe.โ€
โ€œLuria-chan is so cute!โ€ โ€œYou look adorable!โ€

Being praised by everyone made me feel great.

Maybe Iโ€™d wear my brotherโ€™s clothes for a while.

That night, I climbed into bed with Sara. After the maids left, we turned off all the lights. The spiritsโ€™ glow provided enough brightness for Sara, me, and the guardian beasts.

โ€œTomorrow, letโ€™s write a letter.โ€
โ€œOkay, but isnโ€™t writing hard?โ€
โ€œItโ€™s a bit tricky, but donโ€™t worry. Iโ€™ll teach you.โ€
โ€œOkayโ€ฆ Luriโ€ฆa-chanโ€ฆโ€

Before finishing her sentence, Sara drifted off to sleep.

It had been a long day, so it was no wonder she was tired.

I hugged Sara tightly, just like my brother and sister used to do for me.

โ€œDid she fall asleep?โ€ โ€œShe did!โ€ โ€œHow cute!โ€

The spirits, seeing Sara asleep, began chattering. Sara could see spirits, but she couldnโ€™t hear their voices.

They mustโ€™ve stayed quiet earlier to avoid interrupting our conversation.

โ€œLady Luria, can we talk now?โ€
โ€œIโ€™m sleepy too.โ€
โ€œAwwโ€ฆโ€

Being five years old, it was only natural for me to feel tired.

โ€œLetโ€™s talk tomorrowโ€ฆโ€
โ€œGood night, Lady Luria!โ€ โ€œSweet dreams!โ€ โ€œSo cute!โ€

โ€œWhere did Kuro goโ€ฆ?โ€

Among the many playful spirits, the black cat Kuro was missing.

Perhaps it had gone off to play somewhere.

Still, I wasnโ€™t worried. Kuro was a powerful spirit, and few things could harm it.
