The Reincarnated Young Girl Is Adored by the Spirits She Helped in Her Previous Life
I was scolded by my mother for a while. When my mother gets angry, she is really scary.
She doesn’t yell or hit me, but it’s still scary.
However, I am not an ordinary five-year-old; I am a distinguished five-year-old with a past life, so I was able to endure without crying.
“Do you understand, Luria? The problem isn’t that you protected the dragon child.”
I wasn’t scolded for protecting Loa, but for breaking a promise.
I had promised to report it when I found Loa, but instead, I hid it. I also broke the promise not to enter restricted areas by going into the kitchen.
It was completely my fault, as my mother said, so all I could do was reflect.
While I was being scolded, Daru lay on the floor between my mother and me, showing his belly and rolling around.
Pii pii, he squeaked, seemingly asking for forgiveness.
“…Daru, you don’t need to apologize.”
“Pii~… pii.”
Thanks to Daru apologizing with me, my mother’s scolding time lasted only about five minutes.
It felt like about fifteen minutes, but it was probably around five. Time always feels longer when you’re being scolded.
“Luria, do you understand?”
“I understand.”
“Then, good. Let’s have breakfast.”
When my mother said that, Karo and Koruko, perhaps because they were hungry, started walking toward the kitchen.
Seeing us not move, Karo tilted his head, as if to say, “Shall we go soon?”
By the way, the owl had somehow disappeared while I was being scolded. Since it was raining outside, it would’ve been nice if the owl stayed a bit longer.
Meanwhile, Sara gently stroked my head.
“Good girl, good girl.”
“Ryamu, ryamu.”
Loa, who had been in my arms, climbed onto my shoulder and imitated Sara, gently stroking my head as well.
“Thank you. Sorry for dragging you into this, Sara-chan.”
“It’s fine.”
Since Sara hadn’t stopped me, she had been slightly scolded as well.
“Thank you, Loa. Thank you, Daru.”
“Ryaa~.”
“Wafu wafu.”
Perhaps to comfort me, Daru started licking my face.
It almost seemed like he was asking, “Are you okay?”
While being licked on the face, I suddenly wondered.
“…Did Daru get scolded?”
“Wafu? Wafuu.”
Daru didn’t seem to remember much.
He had escaped from the mansion and rushed to the Baron’s residence, so he was supposed to be scolded when he got home.
“Of course, I scolded him after the walk yesterday.”
My mother, who had been gently watching over me as I was comforted by Sara and Loa, said.
“I see… Daru got scolded too.”
When talking about after the walk, it must have been around the time when we were napping yesterday.
“Luria, you were supposed to be scolded with him.”
“Wafu wafu!”
“Sorry? Did I make you go through something tough?”
I hugged Daru tightly.
“…I didn’t scold him that harshly.”
My mother, looking surprised, gently stroked Daru.
“When I say ‘no,’ Daru immediately rolls onto his back… so I couldn’t scold him further.”
“Wafuu?”
Daru went to cuddle up to my mother.
“Before I even had a chance to say ‘you can’t come in,’ he just rolled onto his back.”
“Hmm?”
“I only asked Daru to come over here.”
It seemed like Daru understood from my tone of voice that he was being scolded. That’s why he must have rolled over on his back to show he was reflecting.
“Geez, Daru.”
“Wafu~.”
We walked to the dining room.
Sara tightly held onto her wooden stick doll and followed along.
“By the way, Luria, what will you name that dragon child? I think a cool, dragon-like name would be good.”
“Well… but—”
I was about to say the name “Loa,” but—
“How about Leonardo? I think it’s a good, dragon-like name.”
“……”
It seems my mother preferred the name Leonardo.
She had also considered naming Daru Leonardo.
Perhaps my mother really liked the name Leonardo.
But this time, we couldn’t name him Leonardo.
“I already have the name Loa.”
“Ryaa~.”
Loa flapped his wings happily. Since Loa was sitting on my shoulder, my hair became messy.
“Loa. Yes, it’s Loa.”
My mother stroked Loa, who was on my shoulder.
“Ryaa ryaa~.”
Then Loa chirped happily.
It seemed that Loa had also started to like my mother.
