Episode 170
“Phew!”
Evan couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.
“Don’t laugh…, don’t laugh.”
“Whoa, whaaa, whaaa!”
“…….”
Nihil felt uncomfortable for no reason and asked ‘Miyeok’ to hit the back of the guy’s head.
“Oh, you damn cat!”
While Evan was arguing with ‘Miyeok’, Nihil explained the condition of Sergio’s leg.
“The legs… well. I guess we’ll have to remove them first.”
“…Are you saying I have to cut off my leg?”
“No. I’m raising the child inside my body.”
Nihil continued speaking with his eyes closed.
“The roots spread from the knees to the waist. If it reaches the heart, there is nothing I can do… nothing.”
Phew, the sound of Puppy’s laughter was heard again. He had been in a state of utter despair lately, but now he seemed to have come back to life.
That was fortunate.
“You said you were hurt when the ‘crack’ opened. I guess that’s when the seed went in.”
“A seed?”
“It’s literally a seed. We’ll have to take it out to find out what kind of plant it is, but… plants from the Demon Realm have tenacious vitality.”
If it’s useful, I should raise it here. The name is ‘Evan III’… No, I have a feeling that the efficacy will be low. Maybe ‘Miyeok No. 2’ would be better.
Nihil jumped down from his chair, hoping for a free herb.
As he approached Sergio, he waved his hands in terror, but Nihil grabbed his hand and felt his pulse.
“Originally, it would have died without being able to sprout in the Middle-earth, but it seems it was somehow able to survive by entering the wound.”
“Are you saying that there’s a plant growing on our child’s body right now? Oh, but if it’s a plant from the Demon World, shouldn’t it be possible to get rid of it with divine power?”
“I developed immunity by pouring in a moderate amount of divine power. I would have stopped the treatment once the pain subsided to some extent or showed signs of improvement. Now, it won’t be possible to remove it with just any divine power. I guess I have no choice but to cut the flesh.”
“…That can’t be….”
“Anyway, come back tomorrow.”
“…Can’t you treat me today?”
“I’m tired. And it’s class time.”
“…….”
Amanda’s expression became subtle.
“You weren’t just going to leave without even going to class?”
If my child wanted to dodge, I wouldn’t know, but I couldn’t get away with it when the teacher dodges.
***
After class, Rianus pushed aside the cute ‘Miyeok’ and approached the cot.
Nihil, who seemed to be really tired, asked for my understanding and asked to take a nap, and lay there like a corpse.
Rianus stared at the sleeping Nihil and poked his cheek. For some reason, his cheek felt cold.
“You’re not sick, are you…?”
“Shall I call the congressman?”
When Evan asked cautiously, ‘Miyeok’ shook her head instead… no, she shook her vines. Then she dug straight into my arms and started acting cute again.
“You are very fond of the prince. My master has no worries.”
“I know…….”
‘Miyeok-i’ teased and slyly sought Evan’s attention even though he refused to be touched, but strangely, he did not go to Nihil. In fact, it seemed like Nihil would take the best care of him.
“…Let’s go back to the palace first.”
For some reason, Lianus felt uneasy.
***
Lianus was so upset. He felt really betrayed.
“Ughh …
When I saw my small and precious thing in Nihil’s hands, tears welled up in my eyes.
“Neil is an idiot! How could you do that?!”
“No, Lian……”
“I, I, uh-uh, I confessed with courage! Uuuuuuuu~!”
“…Rian, you’re wrong. It’s not like that.”
Nihil, who had made the child cry, was a little embarrassed. What should he do about this?
I should apologize politely since I was the one who did the work, but I was very embarrassed because I suddenly felt like teasing the child.
“Ughh …
“Sigh……”
“Evan, you idiot!”
“Huh? No, no, please take it out…, keuhup…!”
Evan pursed his lips as he watched the kitten squirming against his thigh.
“My teeth are falling out!”
It was the kitten’s first teeth grinding in his life.
***
‘Neil… , is it there… … ‘
‘huh.’
When Nihil woke up from his nap, he was perfectly fine. I heard that he was a little anemic because he had given too much blood to ‘Miyeok’.
I was upset for no reason and asked why I gave it so much blood, but after naming it ‘Miyeok-i’, I thought I had to make it grow quickly and gave it too much blood without realizing it.
He also added that he knew his own body condition better than anyone else, so there was no need to worry.
‘Neil is my pharmacist, right?’
‘huh.’
‘So, what do you think my physical condition is like now…?’
‘…? Lian, are you sick somewhere?’
‘Huh? Oh, no, not necessarily… … .’
The front teeth that had been loose for a few days were now dangling. I couldn’t help but ask, worried that all my teeth might fall out.
‘That… my front teeth are loose… … .’
‘Really? Show me.’
‘Ugh… … .’
I trusted him and showed him because he was my pharmacist… … !
Thud-.
‘… … ?’
‘Oh, it’s missing.’
Who knew that I would have my teeth pulled out like that!
‘… …?!’
As I looked at my small, precious front teeth gently placed in Nihil’s hand, tears welled up in my eyes.
“Sniff, sniff, is this really true?”
“Uh, uh……”
Nihil was holding back his laughter with all his might, his lips trembling.
“Ugh…, Hmph…, Keuheuph…….”
Evan Sir was lying on the floor, trembling intermittently as if he had grown tired of laughing.
Lianus licked his back with his lips pursed, but it didn’t even hit him. Instead, he was caught in his arms and struggled for a while before barely escaping.
Rianus responded grumpily, feeling embarrassed and wronged.
“Whew, no matter what, just pulling it out like that is….”
“Ugh, keuhuhuh!”
“…….”
Lianus bit his lip as Evan burst out laughing again. He was so, so embarrassed.
“Neil, what are you doing?”
I was sticking out my lips, and Nihil was cleaning my small, precious front teeth that I had left in the strange water.
I brushed my teeth diligently every day, but maybe they were dirty?
“…Are you enduring it a lot?”
“No. If you’re going to give it to a fairy, you have to clean it thoroughly.”
“fairy……?”
“Yeah. There’s a fairy who only takes baby teeth. But this fairy is a bit blind, so she probably doesn’t know how to keep teeth.”
So I have to clean it diligently. If I don’t clean it, it will discolor later.
My friend muttered as he brushed his front teeth more diligently.
“Rian, do you want to write a letter to the fairy?”
“…Is there really such a fairy?”
“of course.”
Lianus was skeptical, but he let it go, thinking that his friend’s eyes were special and that he could see many things.
-To the fairy.
Rian, who wanted strong, clean new teeth and a gift, finally picked up the pen.
-Next time, please give me strong teeth that won’t fall out. Sir Evan keeps laughing and it’s so embarrassing.
“…Rian, wouldn’t it be better not to mention the puppy?”
While I was diligently writing a letter to the fairy, Nihil, who was next to me, gave me some advice with a subtle expression.
The fairy may be so fond of herself that she might punish Sir Evan.
Lianus glanced at Evan, who was sprawled on the floor. Sir Evan met his eyes, covered his face with both hands, and laughed again.
“…….”
I don’t want my article to be punished, but I thought it would be okay to give him a slap on the back of the head.
-Please hit Evan on the back of the head once. Gently.
“…Hmm….”
My friend sniffled, but Lianus pretended not to notice.
I thought about writing about how shocked I was when Nihil pulled out my tooth, but I decided to hold back since I said I was anemic. I didn’t want to get hit in the back of the head and pass out.
‘Evan is strong, so he’ll be okay… …?’
-Don’t hit it hard.
Lianus smiled happily, adding one more sentence just in case.
“Neil, when will my front teeth grow in?”
In response to that question, Nihil pressed hard on Lianus’ gums. It seemed that soon, a white, insignificant tooth would appear.
“If the letter reaches the fairy, it will grow.”
“really?”
“huh.”
“But Neil, don’t your teeth fall out?”
“…….”
Nihil froze at the unexpected question. It was understandable, since it was his first time seeing a child.
Although it has assimilated with humans, it is uncertain whether it will continue to grow as it did.
“Neil, if your front teeth start to loosen, you have to let me know. I’ll pull them out.”
“…….”
If it shakes, it doesn’t matter… but what happens if it doesn’t shake? Should I pull out the tooth? If there’s a lot of bleeding, the child will be surprised…
As I stood there silently, my body suddenly lifted. The puppy, who had risen from the floor, whispered softly.
“Don’t even think about pulling out your teeth, you little bastard.”
“…Then what was our child’s experience of having his teeth pulled….”
“Don’t make me experience that.”
Evan shook Nihil for a moment, then reminded him that Nihil was anemic, and carefully put him down.
Giving blood to plants? He must be really foolish. He shouldn’t have named it ‘Miyeok’ in the first place.
I thought of ‘Miyeok-i’, who kept teasing me. It’s just called ‘Miyeok-i’, but the way it gently got on my nerves was just like that little cat.
Then suddenly, what the guy said flashed through my mind.
‘Don’t be so angry. He’s just trying to get attention.’
Because I want to be interested… … .
dripping-
My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.
“Your Majesty, this is Perry.”
“Come on! Huh!”
Our cute little kitten has such a cute pronunciation. He is truly great.
Evan looked at the kitten, who was rolling her eyes, worried that he would laugh at her again. Ah, her lips were pouting. It was cute.
“Your Highness, the servants you asked me to do…, Oh my, have you lost your baby teeth?”
“Uh…, uh….”
Lianus was now ashamed of himself for having been so excited. To think that losing teeth was so natural… … .
“Thank goodness. I was worried that it might fall out a little late, but… Prince 1’s first baby tooth already fell out the year before last.”
“Uh… are you late?”
“Well, Prince 1 is a little early, but he’ll be eight soon, so he feels a little late.”
At those words, Rianus became sullen.
“I’m always late for everything. I’m also short…….”
When will I grow up? I was mumbling that when my best friend came and hugged me.
“Rian, time just passes slowly for you because you’re a quarter.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah. Don’t worry, he’s just a slow grower. He’s not naturally short.”
“huh!”
If my friend does that, then so be it!
“When you grow up, will you be able to be bigger than Sir Evan?”
“…That’s outside the standard, so I can’t give you a definitive answer.”
“But if I train hard in swordsmanship, wouldn’t I be able to build strong muscles like Evan?”
“…Ugh….”
The words that it would be difficult to build such plump muscles rose to the tip of my tongue and then went back down.
Yeah, you have to dream big.
Nihil pretended not to notice and looked through the report Perry had brought.
***
Late one night, while the baby was asleep, Nihil held onto something small and precious and went looking for the teething fairy.
“…….”
“Fairy Father, aren’t you going to open it?”
“…ha…….”
