Lord Baby Runs A Romance Fantasy With Cash [EN]: Chapter 47

I turned my head to look at the boy.

Hair as white as clouds.

Eyes like molten gold.

Skin as white as snow.

The perfectly symmetrical face looked almost inhuman.

“How is it? I got a lot better looking as I grew up, right?”

The demon, who had grown quite a bit since I last saw him, winked at me.

“……”

Even if his appearance changes, he can’t help being frivolous.

“Why are you like that? Ah! Are you perhaps fluttered by me? What should I do? I’m not ready yet—”

*Thwack!*

“Ouch! Why did you hit me!”

The demon touched the bump on his head and protested to me.

“Fluttered, my foot. You haven’t even lost your baby fat.”

“You haven’t lost your baby fat either! Besides, I’m much bigger than you!”

“Stop sending useless messages.”

“Look at you changing the subject! And useless? I’m a kind angel who even takes care of the readers’ laughter!”

The demon sobbed sadly.

“How strange.”

“What is?”

“I don’t feel sorry for you at all. I just find you disgusting.”

“Too much!”

The demon stopped his fake crying and screamed.

Well, that’s enough of the comedy.

“So, what’s going to happen?”

At my question, the demon also calmed down.

The atmosphere changes in an instant.

The face that quietly stares at me certainly exudes an inhuman sense of incongruity, like an angel or a demon.

“Danger will come in the future.”

“What kind of danger?”

“I can’t say.”

No, can’t say?

“Is something attacking? A dragon? A demon?”

“I can’t say.”

It was the same answer, like a parrot.

I was frustrated, but it didn’t seem like he was trying to tease me.

“Then what can you say?”

“The stronger the reader’s influence becomes, the looser the causality that binds me will become. Then I’ll be able to say a little more.”

Causality.

Come to think of it, he said something like that in a message before.

“For now, the only way is for the reader to find out for themselves.”

“Me?”

“Because you are the one and only person who can reach the limits of the law of causality.”

Hmm.

This familiar flow.

“So, that’s what it is……”

“Yes, that’s it. You are—”

“I’m the romance fantasy heroine!”

“Pardon?”

“Heh heh, all of your patterns have been figured out. This is pattern 3.”

“Pattern 3?”

“There’s always a misunderstanding that novel-possessed heroines have. Just because there’s an original heroine doesn’t mean you’re not the main character. But that’s a misunderstanding!”

“……No, Reader, you’re not possessed by a novel.”

“The moment you’re possessed, you become the true heroine! If you don’t realize that, you’ll just end up eating sweet potatoes!” [A Korean expression for being stuck in a frustrating situation].

“Reader, you were reincarnated, reincarnated! Not into a novel, but into a real other world!”

“In other words, whether it’s possession or reincarnation, the fact that I did it makes me the heroine! And!”

“That’s wrong. She’s not listening to me……”

“The heroine saves the world! That is the role of the heroine! The destiny of the heroine!”

I stood up and clenched my fist.

I could feel the demon looking at me with a jaded look, but who cares?

I’m the heroine!

*Sparkle!*

My awesomeness and dignity shine!

“……They say that if you turn 360 degrees, you’ll end up back where you started. It’s nonsense, but the conclusion is roughly correct.”

The demon smiled with a faint sigh.

I narrowed my eyes at the sight.

‘The only thing that makes me uneasy is that this guy might be deceiving me.’

I know now that he gets stronger as my influence grows. Because his appearance is growing.

‘It must be because of the contract.’

What if he’s deceiving me to increase his power?

‘What do you mean, what if! Then I’ll smack him on the head and give him some true and righteous education!’

If you stab me in the back, I’ll give you cider [a refreshing drink, metaphorically meaning ‘revenge’], even if you’re a demon… no, even if you’re a god!

That is the romance fantasy heroine!

“……Did I choose the wrong contractor?”

The demon muttered as he watched me spread my arms and commune with the world.

“What did you say?”

“Ah, nothing.”

That’s strange?

I was clearly asking with a soft and kind smile, so why is the demon so scared?

The demon, who was touching his bruised crown, coughed and weighed his words.

“Anyway, I can’t answer the reader’s questions, but I can show you this today.”

The demon reached out to the spring.

Then the surface of the water rippled and an image slowly began to form.

Soon, the image of a boy appeared on the calm surface.

“……!”

Hair as dazzling as the sun.

Purple eyes with a mixture of red and blue, as if fire and ice were mixed together.

“He’s still young, but he has a very dangerous power.”

His eyes were like the universe, and if you stared at them, you would be sucked in.

They were truly demonic eyes.

“When I look at the flow of the guiding star, you will soon meet this boy.”

He looked about my age, but his sharp nose and prominent jawline stood out.

To have such distinct features at such a young age, is this what a complete face looks like?

“So never get involved with this boy. Ignore him no matter what happens.”

Even though he’s still young, I was more afraid than excited about his future.

Wouldn’t he become a beauty that could ruin a country?

“Hey, are you listening to me?”

“Hey.”

At the quiet call, the demon, who had been chattering on and on, shut his mouth.

“Don’t go around calling people handsome so easily.”

“Pardon?”

“To call someone handsome in front of this beautiful boy, you must have no shame!”

“Too much!”

The demon burst into tears and flew away.

“Just you wait, just you wait!”

Look at him overreacting because he’s been caught.

“When all my radiance returns, you’ll kneel before my beauty too!”

Whatever.

“You’re going to say I’m the most handsome!”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Even the gods are like that, he’s a real attention seeker.

Why is he trying to get me to admit that he’s handsome?

“There’s no sincerity in your answer!”

“Wow. You’re so handsome.”

“Are you reading a book right now?!”

Even if I put in sincerity, he still complains.

That’s when it happened.

The space rippled like a lake with a stone thrown into it.

*Thump!*

‘I’m used to it now.’

I indifferently got sucked into the swirling space and then snapped to attention, “Ah!”

“Hey! But where am I going to meet that cutie?”

I’m not asking because of selfish reasons.

I need to know so I can avoid him.

Ahem.

“Cutie? I’m more—”

“Never mind that, just answer me! You said it was necessary!”

“I’m not sure, but……from……”

Hmm, I can’t hear you.

Half of my vision is already gone.

Soon the blackout will come.

I’m used to this too.

And then a perfect darkness came.

* * *

I woke up.

“No, so where am I going to meet him?”

You should have answered when you were arguing about who was cuter!

Still, it’s kind of cute how he subtly appeals to me about his beauty……

No, am I crazy?

‘Is it the demon’s curse?’

I wrapped my arms around myself and shivered.

“But why is he dangerous?”

If he’s dangerous simply because he has great power, then that’s the same with my dad and brothers.

Hmm.

“Really, every time I dream, my curiosity doesn’t get satisfied, but only increases my questions.”

This isn’t like Hansel and Gretel’s bread crumbs, you have to show me a map!

Not the whole thing, but at least a part of it!

“Oh well, what’s the point of arguing? I have to do what I can first.”

Clear quests to get cash and gain abilities.

This is definitely helping me.

‘Plus, clearing quests increases my influence.’

I don’t know exactly what role influence plays, but the demon will be able to tell me more.

‘It seems to be related to raising the level of my traits.’

Anyway, if I follow the path that the quest has set out, I might be able to get closer to the truth.

‘Okay.’

I put in my energy.

[You have an unread notification. Would you like to check it?]

“Yes.”

[The quest has been completed.]

[You have been awarded a 10,000 Cash Gacha Ticket as a reward.]

[Councilor of the Second Seat, Count Kandor, is paying attention to you!]

[The elders of the Paeraton Ducal House are looking at you again!]

[The elders acknowledge your skills!]

[Lord Erkel applauds your eradication of corruption!]

[The retainers of the Paeraton Ducal House are impressed by your wit!]

[Now, the opposition to the establishment of your advisory body has disappeared!]

‘Advisory group! I knew I was right!’

The deal between Dad and the elders.

A deal that if I found the traitor with my own power and proved my ability, they wouldn’t oppose the advisory group.

‘With this, I can officially participate in the family’s affairs.’

[As the Paeraton Duchess, you have driven out internal corruption and restored order!]

[You have achieved the feat of establishing the family’s dignity and trust from the first day of the new year!]

[The integrity within the Paeraton territory will increase this year! The frequency of bribery and illegal solicitation will be significantly reduced!]

[Eradicating corruption and increasing integrity will enrich the lives of the territory’s people!]

[Your reputation is resounding throughout the Paeraton territory!]

[Long live our wingless angel, the youngest duchess, who drove out the corrupt vassals!]

[Influence within the Paeraton Ducal House has greatly increased!]

“……”

It’s good that my reputation is resounding.

But what the heck is a wingless angel?

It’s not because of what I said, is it? Huh?

I’m embarrassed…….

Is this the disaster that I brought upon myself?

I buried my face in the pillow and rolled around in embarrassment.

‘Let’s read the quests I haven’t checked.’

Dear Reader,

Congratulations on being recognized by the demanding direct line of the Paeraton Ducal House!

The first one is left, but he’s still spending his days in a frenzy of slaughter.

Unfortunately, I can’t send the young Reader to that bloody place…….

‘No, wait a minute.’

Does that mean that if I wasn’t young, they would have told me to go to the scene of the slaughter and get recognized?

More than that, were they being considerate of me because I’m young?

It wasn’t a quest for babies at all?!

……Since I can’t send you, let’s proceed with the next step.

Gain the loyalty of the vassal as a direct line of the family!

And take control of the family’s vassals!

The vassals are vassals who have been granted fiefs by successive heads of the family.

As they have served Paeraton deeply, they have significantly higher authority than other vassals, and their control within the family is also high.

Even more than you right now.

Vassals above my head!

I can’t tolerate it as a romance fantasy reader!

Hurry up and establish the Reader’s authority and make them bow their arrogant heads!

– Conditions:

1. Get recognized by the vassal (0/1)

2. Receive an oath of allegiance from the vassal (0/1)

– Reward: 5000 Cash Gacha Ticket, increased influence within the Paeraton Ducal House

‘……If a five-year-old is less in control than a vassal, isn’t that family in trouble?’

Anyway, if it’s an organization that can rule this huge land, the head of the family can’t have all the authority alone.

Of course, there must be vice presidents, executive directors, and managing directors.

‘Anyway, it means I have to be recognized by one of the directors and make one of them my right-hand man.’

Speaking of vassals to use as my right-hand man, there was one person who came to mind.

That’s Lord Dier.

‘I thought he was an idiot, but he’s surprisingly quite capable.’

“Just once, just once, please let me braid your hair! I’ve been researching how to braid it up in six braids, twist it around, and make a flower ribbon!”

“I don’t know…. What is that…. Scary….”

“Please think again! Do you know how difficult this technique is? Only I can do it! You’ll definitely be super cute!”

“No. I won’t change it. I have no intention of changing it. Go back quickly.”

‘Hmm, but that uncle is a bit…… No, no matter how you look at it, he’s a pervert…….’

Let’s exclude him from the candidates.

There are so many vassals, surely there’s at least one person I like.

Anyway, good.

‘First of all, the mana stone business.’

I checked the quest list.

– Condition: Get rich with the mana stone business!

– Reward: 10,000 Cash

I received it quite a while ago, but I’ve only just managed to get it started.

Is that why the reward is so high?

I’ll soon have an advisory group, so all that’s left is to really get started.

‘I’m in charge of a business……!’

Oh my god.

To think that this day would come for me, who was ignored for not having a degree and couldn’t even get a full-time job even after working all night!

I’m excited.

I thought I hated working, but that wasn’t it.

‘But before that.’

I thought of the status window.

– Trait:

– Trait Rank: E

‘First, I need to upgrade my trait.’

[Level up your trait.]

[Place your hand on .]

I took out the Akitus from the drawer in the bedside table.

An hourglass-shaped crystal of E rank.

‘I’m leveling up faster than I thought.’

I put my hand on it.

A dazzling light burst out.

The same bubbly warmth spread through my body as before, and letters appeared in the light.
