Chapter 60

Let's Write a Letter

When I opened my eyes, Saraโ€™s tail was right in front of me.

It seemed that while I was sleeping, I must have rolled over and ended up with my head and feet switched around.

โ€œHmm?โ€

I patted Saraโ€™s tail and examined it.

โ€œSo fluffy.โ€

Saraโ€™s tail was thick, stubby, and fluffy. It was mostly brown, with just the tip being black.

After enjoying the fluffiness of Saraโ€™s tail to my heartโ€™s content, I sat up.

As always, I grabbed Carro, who was standing upright against the headboard, and hugged her.

โ€œGood morning, Carro. Did you sleep?โ€

โ€œKyuu~.โ€

Carro said, โ€œI slept well,โ€ but I was sure she hadnโ€™t.

โ€œCarro, you should sleep more.โ€

I placed Carro on Saraโ€™s belly. Even while asleep, Sara hugged Carro tightly.

โ€œThere we go. And Da-uโ€ฆโ€

Da-u was sleeping on his back, as usual, near my feet.

โ€œCarro should sleep as much as Da-u.โ€

โ€œKyuru.โ€

โ€œAnd Koruko, did you sleep properly too?โ€

โ€œKokoo.โ€

The early riser Koruko seemed to have been standing by the window ledge, gazing outside.

I got out of bed and headed over to Koruko.

โ€œDo you want to go outside?โ€

When I opened the window, a breeze flowed into the room.

The spring morning wind felt cool, almost chilly.

โ€œIt feels nice, doesnโ€™t it?โ€

โ€œKo~.โ€

The lake sparkled, reflecting the sunlight.

In front of the guardsโ€™ quarters, the attendants were doing light exercises.

I was just thinking of doing some stretches myself whenโ€”

โ€œHm?โ€

I sensed something unusual in the forest.

โ€œKoruko, are there more creatures in the forest than yesterday?โ€

โ€œKokoo~.โ€

Koruko tilted his head.

โ€œMaybe itโ€™s just my imagination?โ€

Yesterday, the forest around the villa felt less lively than the forest near the main residence. But today, it felt just as full of life.

โ€œWell, itโ€™s fine.โ€

โ€œKokoo!โ€

More animals in the forest could only be a good thing. It wasnโ€™t something to worry about.

โ€œLetโ€™s do some exercises.โ€

โ€œKokko!โ€

As I started stretching, Sara, Da-u, and Carro woke up and joined me.

After that, a maid came to call us for breakfast, so I changed into my usual clothes and headed to the dining hall.

Sara put on her sisterโ€™s clothes, and I wore my brotherโ€™s.

Even during breakfast, Sara was still holding tightly to her wooden stick doll.

After we filled our stomachs with breakfast and cleaned up, we went with Mother to the study, which also served as a sitting room.

In the study, there were several beautiful boxes and envelopes that hadnโ€™t been there yesterday.

โ€œGraf, Gilberto, and Lydia sent gifts,โ€ Mother said.

โ€œFrom Father, Brother, and Sister?โ€

โ€œThere are letters too.โ€

โ€œWow, Iโ€™ll start with the letters!โ€

I picked up one of the envelopes.

โ€œIt says, โ€˜To Luria and Saraโ€™!โ€

โ€œFwaa~.โ€

โ€œIโ€™ll read it to you, okay?โ€

I opened the envelope and began reading its contents aloud.

Not just Sara, but Da-u also peeked over at the letter.

โ€œTo Luria and Sara: It must be a challenging time for you, but donโ€™t worry.โ€

Father had chosen simple words so even I could read them.

Throughout the letter, he kept reassuring us that there was no need to worry.

โ€œIt also says, โ€˜Sara is now our daughter, so itโ€™s okay to rely on us.โ€™โ€

โ€œYeah. Ehehehe.โ€

Saraโ€™s tail swished back and forth.

โ€œNext, Iโ€™ll read Brother Gilbertoโ€™s letter!โ€

When I opened Brotherโ€™s letter,

โ€œHmm, hmm, hmm.โ€

โ€œDa-u, youโ€™re too close.โ€

Da-u leaned in so close that it made it hard to read.

โ€œDa-u, sit behind Sara.โ€

โ€œWoof.โ€

Da-u obediently sat behind Sara and me.

โ€œAlright, Iโ€™ll read now.โ€

โ€œOkay.โ€

โ€œTo Luria: Your brother is lonely. Without you, this estate feels like the light has gone outโ€ฆโ€

It seemed Brother was feeling quite lonely.

He also wrote that he was sending us a picture book that he had planned to read to us.

โ€œTo Sara: Iโ€™m Gilberto, your new brother. I hope we can get along.โ€

โ€œYeah.โ€

โ€œMaybe Sara feels uneasy about suddenly having a bigger family.โ€

Like Father, Brother also wrote repeatedly that there was no need to worry.

โ€œAh, they also sent sweets.โ€

โ€œSweets. Ehehe.โ€

โ€œNext, Iโ€™ll read Sisterโ€™s letter, okay?โ€

After introducing herself, Sister was considerate and asked about our health and whether we were facing any inconveniences.

โ€œIt says, โ€˜I want to meet Sara and Luria soon.'โ€

โ€œWow.โ€

โ€œOh, and it says sheโ€™s sending toys too.โ€

โ€œToys?โ€

โ€œMaybe this? Sara, you can open it.โ€

โ€œReally?โ€

โ€œOf course.โ€

Sara happily opened the box sent by Sister. Inside was a wooden figurine, small enough to fit snugly in her hand.

โ€œWow! Luria, letโ€™s play?โ€

Saraโ€™s eyes sparkled, and her tail wagged excitedly. She placed the wooden stick figure on the table and arranged the wooden figurines Sister had sent around it.

โ€œAlright, letโ€™s play.โ€

Though I hadnโ€™t played much with dolls before, seeing Sara so happy made me happy too.

โ€œOh, but shouldnโ€™t you write a thank-you letter first?โ€

Mother, who had been working beside us, said with a smile.

โ€œOh, right. Letโ€™s write the letter before we play?โ€

โ€œOkay. But Sara canโ€™t write, soโ€ฆโ€

โ€œIโ€™ll write it, so Sara, think about what you want to say.โ€

โ€œGot it.โ€

I asked Mother for paper and a pen. Sitting next to her, Sara and I began writing letters.

โ€œBefore the thank-you letters, letโ€™s write to Marion first.โ€

โ€œOkay!โ€

Writing a letter to Marion, who was recovering from an illness, was more important than thank-you notes. Receiving a letter from Sara would surely cheer Marion up.

โ€œSara, do you have anything you want to say?โ€

โ€œUmm, ummโ€ฆโ€

Sara hugged the wooden stick figure she had placed on the desk earlier and began thinking. While she thought, I wrote the opening lines.

โ€œTo Marion, Sara is doing well. Luria and Mother are doing well too.โ€

โ€œAnd thenโ€ฆ oh, right.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m asking Sara what she wants to say to you, and Iโ€™ll write it down.โ€

That should let Marion know whatโ€™s going on.

After some thought, Sara began stroking the wooden stick figure and started speaking.

โ€œUm, the bread was delicious.โ€

โ€œDid you eat more than usual?โ€

โ€œYeah! I ate a lot. The meat was delicious too, and I ate a lot of that too!โ€

โ€œHmm, hmm. โ€˜The bread was delicious, and I ate a lot. The meat was alsoโ€ฆ'โ€

I wrote down what Sara said.

โ€œAnd Luria wiped my mouth and spread jam on the bread.โ€

โ€œAlright, โ€˜Luria wiped my mouth and spread jam on the breadโ€ฆ'โ€

Sometimes, I adjusted the words to make sense in the letter. If I wrote it as Sara said, it would sound like I spread jam on Sara herself!

โ€œIs that word โ€˜Saraโ€™?โ€

โ€œThis word is โ€˜bread.โ€™ Sara is over here. Sa-ra. See?โ€

โ€œAh, I see. Sa-ra.โ€

Occasionally, I explained the letters too.

โ€œAnd then, and then, yesterday we took a bathโ€”โ€

Sara had a lot she wanted to tell Marion. She talked about everything she could think of, even if it wasnโ€™t in order.

By the time Sara was satisfied, we had filled ten sheets of paper completely.

โ€œPhew, that turned out to be a big task.โ€

โ€œThank you, Luria!โ€

โ€œDonโ€™t worry about it. Oh, Iโ€™ll write my part too.โ€

Finally, I added a note from myself.

โ€œMarion, please get well soon. Sara is doing great. The bread is delicious, so letโ€™s eat some together next time.โ€

โ€œOh, I almost forgot something important.โ€

โ€œYou donโ€™t need to write a reply if itโ€™s tiring. Weโ€™ll see you soon, so please donโ€™t worry.โ€

I didnโ€™t want Marion to feel pressured to reply; I just wanted her to recover quickly.

โ€œSince we finished Marionโ€™s letter, next is the response to Father and the others.โ€

โ€œOkay.โ€

โ€œFor Father and the others, Iโ€™ll probably write a lot, huh?โ€

Since Sara had never met Father or our siblings, she wouldnโ€™t know what to write.

โ€œFather, Luria is doing well. Sara and Mother are doing well too. Yesterday, weโ€ฆโ€

I wrote about how we all bathed together and how I slept with Sara.

โ€œSara, is there anything youโ€™d like to add?โ€

โ€œUmโ€ฆ โ€˜Please take care of meโ€™?โ€

โ€œAlright, Iโ€™ll add that.โ€

As we finished writing the letters to Father and our siblings, a maid approached Mother with a troubled expression.

โ€œMadam, someone has come requesting to meet youโ€ฆโ€
