-She’s a nanny, but she doesn’t seem to be close to Lady Artea….
Is this what the butler said?
My mind was racing, but even at this time, i had no idea what kind of accident would occur due to the problem with the magic tool.
‘Can’t help it.’
I finally made a decision.
“Arte, do you want to go see your uncle?”
Ever since he moved in next door, I felt like this day would come. Shit.
“yes!”
Artea quickly nodded and made an expression of regret, but even though she rolled her eyes in embarrassment, she did not back down.
One way or another, Erios probably wants to see her.
So in the end it was Artea, Erios, and me. The meeting between the three was successful.
“Nanny, you don’t seem close to Artea.”
I lowered my voice and whispered so that only Erios could hear.
Although it was an urgent situation, I felt like he needed to know this.
“There’s nothing wrong with the nanny.”
Artea’s first nanny was present when my sister had a carriage accident and died on the spot.
Her second nanny quit when she suddenly became unwell.
Her current nanny is her third in a few months.
‘The child is understandably anxious.’
“Among the new arrivals, she was Artea’s favorite.”
However, her heart didn’t open even to her third nanny.
Erios went on to speculate that she may have been reluctant to get close to people because the people around her were leaving.
“She’s a nanny and she doesn’t usually do anything?”
“He was the person who received the most suspicion after Artea disappeared.”
I think the butler meant that it was because there weren’t enough nannies.
Erios speaks as if the two are innocent.
Once I get back, I’ll have to talk to the nanny and her maid.
“Bellona. For now, focus on your work. I will take care of Artea.”
“sorry.”
“You suddenly took charge of Artea. You have your own work to do.”
I know, but I couldn’t help but feel heavy.
What kind of feelings were revealed on my face?
Erios, who was looking at me silently, hesitated for a moment, then grabbed my shoulder and whispered quietly.
“You know that too, right? It’s best to focus, solve the problem, and return to Artea.”
It was fortunate that Erios moved in next door.
If it weren’t for that guy, Artea would be crying alone right now among people she can’t rely on…..
***
“Master, this way.”
Even when she went to her site, Bellona’s heart did not feel at ease.
Of course she knew that she couldn’t stick by Artea’s side 24 hours a day.
She knew it too….
Is it because I wasn’t able to mentally prepare because that time came sooner than expected?
‘At first, I was criticized and thought I was crazy. If Erios wasn’t there right now, we would have been in big trouble.’
She could have left Artea behind because she thought she was with her uncle.
No, she wasn’t just a matter of being taken care of.
If it hadn’t been for the words that Erios held her in at the end, she might still be wracked with guilt.
“This is a major accident! Things don’t listen! Is something already broken? As rumored, the magic tools of ‘Rorojo’ were made by people whose skills are less than those of the orthodox magicians of the Magic Tower…I thought it was just a rumor from the Magic Tower….”
Bellona looked at the magic tool while listening to a loud noise that had nothing to do with the magic tool.
The fault was easy to find.
“It’s just a matter of the power. It may take some time, but it can be easily resolved.”
“what is that?”
“It means that the problem occurred because the precautions weren’t followed.”
And the problem of magical power distortion was not a defect in the magic tool. It is the fault of the person who used it.
“I’ve warned you several times that you shouldn’t use other magic tools or use magic nearby, and it’s even in the user manual…”
“No, what’s so complicated? You should have made it well when you made it!”
Only then did he remember the precautions, and the man waved his hand and left as if running away from the spot.
The emergency rush leaving behind a crying Artea was caused by a breakdown due to the user’s carelessness.
“…….”
It is not the first day or two that wizards at the Magic Tower have started malicious rumors because they are reluctant to allow non-magicians to use magic tools.
Because they are trying to take me and my business down whenever they get the chance.
“Master, are you okay? Even though I don’t know much about magic tools… Should I follow you and say something?”
She could feel the attention of her subordinate who guided around Bellona.
She didn’t want to waste her energy on something pointless right now.
“There is no time to waste on useless things. I will resolve it quickly and return.”
Just focus on what i have to do now.
After making that decision, Bellona even skipped her meals and focused on repairing her tools.
The numerous magical powers intertwined in the magic tool are rearranged in detail, and new magical energy is poured into the damaged magical power.
“As expected, you are the master.”
As people around me asked me if I was pushing myself too hard, I continued to focus on my work.
Even though the problem of magical power being distorted is something that takes up a lot of time. She was able to finish the problem earlier than expected.
“That customer, from now on, put him on the ‘Rorojo’ blacklist.”
“yes!”
“Ordinary magic doesn’t distort magic to this degree. If you do something wrong, it may not only result in a malfunction of the magic tool, but it could also lead to a major accident. Even if I warn him, I don’t think you will listen.”
When I finished work, I thought of Artea again.
She might be crying again by now.
She kept wondering if she was waiting for Bellona to come.
“Artea….”
With a heavy heart, I left behind a crying child.
Even after I arrived at her mansion, she couldn’t go inside right away.
After she hesitated, she went inside.
“Auntie, have you been there?”
To her surprise, Artea, who greeted her, was not crying.
No, isn’t she actually smiling with her bright face?
“You were worried I was going to cry!”
“uh? Uh-huh.”
“I’m okay! Just go! Because I’m brave!”
Her eyes were swollen and her face was red.
Artea let out a brave voice.
However, her smile, which is not even a tantrum, is somehow harder to take your eyes off of…
“…….”
With difficulty she turned her gaze, and with a glance she asked Erios what had happened.
Then Erios just blinked her eyes without much action.
“Artea took a nap and woke up. I think she’s feeling better.”
“That’s right, I’m fine!”
Actually, it hasn’t gotten better.
Artea is just…She just felt ashamed of herself.
‘I can’t act like a baby anymore!’
Until the age of five, I am a baby, and from the age of six, i am now an adult.
She hated herself for constantly acting like a baby.
Then i might be hated by my aunt too.
‘I’m all grown up at the age of six!’
Living with her uncle didn’t help either.
Even when it comes to her aunt, she can’t do that.
“Auntie, is there anything I can help you with? Is it very difficult? Do you want me to massage your shoulders?”
“No it’s okay.”
“I’m strong!”
“It’s really okay!”
Even if a small child tries hard, doesn’t that only add up to two tired people?
Bellona wanted to say that she didn’t need Artea to care about her.
She seemed rather sullen than Artea.
“Artea?”
“Wow! I’m glad it wasn’t difficult!”
And then Artea turned around and shed her tears.
I kept thinking about what I said earlier.
She said she couldn’t go with her because i was young…
‘I guess I don’t really need my aunt.’
I’m supposed to be the person her aunt needs.
That way she won’t be abandoned.
‘I guess I’m still a baby!’
Slurp.
I kept crying.
Artea wiped away her tears with her small hands as if she had not cried.
She wanted to act like nothing had happened, but she couldn’t help but blush again.
‘Why am I not an adult yet?’
Yes, looking back, she felt like a baby because she unknowingly told her uncle not to go because he was about to leave.
Her pride was very hurt.
‘I’ll never see you again!’
…she thought.
– Yes, uncle. don’t go. Ugh…..
How can i say something like that?
Isn’t this the perfect example of a rambunctious and annoying baby?
So, when I woke up, I tried to get away from my uncle somehow.
She reassures herself that it’s okay because her aunt is there….
However, when her aunt left her place due to work, her heart pounded again and she shed tears.
-Artea, do you want to go see your uncle?
So I nodded her head and left.
She obviously ran away from home because she didn’t want to live with her uncle.
‘Because being capricious is like a baby. No one will like it. she must really hate me now.’
But she was strange.
I said I didn’t want to live with my uncle, then I told him not to go back, and then I said I still hated him.
Even though i continues to be capricious…My uncle was always by my side.
‘If I run away from home, I’ll be happy to break up with you too! Actually, “you were annoying!”…I thought he would say that.’
If i do this, it seems like my uncle, who should hate me, doesn’t hate me, right?
Obviously, from what they said, my uncle would like Artea to disappear.
