Lord Baby Runs A Romance Fantasy With Cash [EN]: Chapter 5

Runs the Romance Fantasy with Baby-nim’s Cash – Episode 5

☆ Episode 5 ☆

Am I seeing things after such a shocking event?

I rubbed my eyes, but the letters remained the same.

Once the surprise wore off, I couldn’t deny that it wasn’t a hallucination.

Aftanes.

How could I forget that name?

It’s the name of that devil who scammed me into reincarnation.

[Don’t worry. Since I’m giving you this special reincarnation, I’ll also give you an ability.]

That annoying voice was still vivid, even after several years.

‘He said he’d give me an ability, but it was Rush & Cash?!’

It was an ability with a name that made it sound like I’d be ruined by debt.

I cursed him as a scammer for not giving me an ability, but I’d rather not have this kind of ability.

The letters kept appearing.

But I couldn’t read them anymore.

“As soft as a baby……?”

Because of what Duke Paeraton murmured in a very low voice.

Oh, did I say that out loud?

I couldn’t bring myself to ask and trembled.

Ah, should I just bite my tongue and die here?

The Duke’s red eyes glared at me as if he would devour me. Sob.

“Hmm…….”

The Duke made a strange humming sound and put me down on his lap.

“……?”

I thought he was going to throw me away and send me to the afterlife.

It’s a relief, but……. I glanced at him, clutching my anxiously pounding heart—

Squish.

The Duke poked my cheek.

‘……What is this?’

Squish, squish.

He keeps poking me.

I was skinny, but I was still a baby, so there were still traces of baby fat on my cheeks.

I stared at the Duke, who was expressionlessly touching my cheeks, and gasped.

‘Could this be the start of a tyrant becoming a daughter-obsessed fool?!’

My long romance fantasy experience tells me so.

Every time he plays with a baby’s cheeks, his affection increases.

He must think I’m at least a little cute—

“Like an angry pufferfish.”

—There’s no way.

Damn it, I had vain expectations.

The reader in me shouted, ‘This is a sign of denial before falling for her!’ but my instinct, with the Duke’s face right in front of me, shouted.

Look at those murderous eyes. There’s no way. You could die if you’re not careful, so hold on tight to your life.

Unlike a pufferfish, which has poison, I had no choice but to obediently receive the Duke’s touch with a sulky expression.

I thought I would be thrown out soon, but surprisingly, the Duke kept me on his lap.

After eating a dinner that felt like I was going to choke with the Duke staring at me, I was finally able to be alone.

“Wash up.”

The Duke, who put me down in my room, left those words and left.

‘No, I’m clean now?!’

I raised my arm and sniffed, but only a pleasant fruity scent wafted up.

‘But why did he keep me around until now?’

“It’s because you’re not used to it. Because you haven’t met your dad in a while.”

“So I’ll be with you now. You said I have to stick close to not be unfamiliar!”

Could it be because of what I said?

‘No way.’

I’ll get sick if I expect too much again.

I chuckled and followed the maids into the bathroom.

Right now, I had something more important than the Duke’s intentions.

Chapter 2. Romance Fantasy Readers Prefer Fast Paced Development

After taking a clean bath and drying my hair until it was fluffy, I struggled to climb onto the bed.

‘Good.’

Finally, I’m alone.

‘But why were the maids hesitating?’

The way the maids acted when I said goodbye to them bothered me.

Normally, I would ask what was wrong or wait until they brought it up—.

‘What’s important now is something else!’

The letters that floated in front of me like holograms.

‘Ugh, I couldn’t read them all.’

As soon as I started paying attention to the Duke, the notification window with the letters disappeared.

‘Should I have read them all back then, no matter what the Duke said? Can’t I bring it back?’

As I was thinking that, the notification window reappeared.

[You have unread notifications. Would you like to check them?]

Oh, can I just answer this?

“Yes.”

Then a window appeared.

[Trait *Unavailable*]

Dear Reader! This is the ability I promised!

I didn’t think it would take this long to meet the conditions. It was an easy condition.

You haven’t been cursing the kind for being a scam contract, have you?

As someone who cursed the devil as a scammer every day, it was a very embarrassing message.

‘No, I don’t think it was an easy condition in the first place.’

And I still don’t know exactly what the condition is.

It can’t be doing cute things on the Duke’s cheeks, right?

I hope you use this ability well, as it is perfect for you!

– Trait Grade: F

– Trait Effect: You can use cash to summon the romance fantasy novels you have read.

You can extract and use the abilities of the heroines in the summoned novels.

* Extraction is done randomly.

!Caution: Cannot be used because there is currently no .

“What is this…….”

So, I can summon the novels I’ve read and use the abilities of the heroines?

“That’s amazing?”

The abilities of countless romance fantasy heroines flashed through my mind.

If I can use all those abilities, survival is no longer an issue. I can conquer the world!

“Wow!”

Goodbye to the days that were like a sewer!

I raised both hands and jumped up and down on the bed.

‘But what are cash and summoning medium?’

Suddenly, I became anxious.

The name of this ability is ‘Rush & Cash’.

To be honest, it wasn’t a name that made me think of a happy and beautiful future.

[A new quest has arrived.]

At that time, a new window popped up with a notification.

Reader, are you celebrating getting an ability?

You’re too naive and foolish!

This world, the world of romance fantasy, is not that easy!

It’s common sense that romance fantasy readers should know. Haven’t you been disappointed and frustrated a lot in reality?

Always be careful of being backstabbed!

Don’t forget!

Your ability is not complete.

A true romance fantasy reader suspects that anything someone else feeds them is poisoned.

Complete your ability with your own strength and prove its value.

– Condition: Acquire

– Reward: 500 Cash

“No, why is this wording like this?”

Are you targeting me right now?

I was dumbfounded.

Especially since I was drinking kimchi soup [a Korean spicy fermented cabbage dish], thinking that the tyrant would become a daughter-obsessed fool just because he poked my cheeks a little today.

Tch.

“Anyway, I have to go for this!”

[You have accepted the quest.]

“Good. But where do I get a summoning medium?”

Something that can summon something, an object that serves as a connection.

‘Usually, these kinds of things are very, very precious in romance fantasy.’

The empire’s national treasure.

The temple’s sacred object.

The magic tower’s treasure.

Or, a family heirloom passed down through generations of noble families.

‘Hmm, for now, the only thing I can immediately look for is the Paeraton Duke’s family heirloom.’

It would be nice if it was here since it’s hard for me, a child, to find it elsewhere.

‘……But even if it’s really there, it’s a problem.’

Can I really ask Duke Paeraton for his family’s treasure?

The Duke’s cold and indifferent face staring at me came to mind, and my body trembled.

‘Um, um, I don’t even know if there’s a summoning medium among the family heirlooms.’

I tried to soothe myself like that. I’m not scared.

First, let’s look at the Duke’s family heirlooms.

Wake up in the morning…….

Huaaaaaam—.

A huge yawn came out as if my mouth would tear.

‘Ugh, I need to make a plan…….’

I rubbed my eyes, but my vision was blurry.

I only got a little sleep and worked at the Tarenka Marquis’s residence.

Now, after taking a bath, my body is warm, the bed is cozy, and my stomach is full, so I couldn’t resist the sleepiness.

I fell asleep in the middle of the wide bed without even knowing when I fell asleep.

* * *

Chirp chirp.

A bird chirps.

‘Is it morning?’

Today, the surprisingly splendid ceiling greeted me again.

At the same time as yawning and stretching while lying down, the door opened and the maids came in.

“Did you sleep well, youngest lady?”

“Yes.”

The blanket slipped down as I raised my upper body.

‘Huh?’

I thought I fell asleep over there in the middle without even covering myself with a blanket yesterday.

Now I was at the head of the bed. It seemed like I had slept well with a pillow and covered myself with a blanket last night.

“Did Anna cover me with a blanket?”

Anna answered obediently with a questioning look at my question.

“No. We don’t go inside when the youngest lady is sleeping. It’s the same when His Grace or the other young masters are sleeping.”

Hmm, I must have crawled in well on my own while sleeping.

I was embarrassed, but I thought the maids had covered me up because I have rough sleeping habits.

I jumped off the bed. I was about to go to the dressing room, but I stopped.

“Ah. Good morning, everyone!”

When I shouted to the maids, their faces softened.

“Good morning, youngest lady.”

“Hehe, I’ll comb your hair.”

Good, good.

The atmosphere was definitely much softer than before.

I wore the clothes Nancy had chosen and left my hair to Anna, admiring without knowing anything.

“Wow, this thing on here is so pretty! It’s sparkly!”

When I pointed to the brooch on the chest of the dress, the maids smiled softly.

“It’s pretty, isn’t it? It goes well with the youngest lady’s eye color.”

“Would you like to put a similar pin in your hair? You’ll definitely look cute.”

“Um……. But it looks too expensive.”

I wiggled my fingers with a sullen face.

“Oh my…….”

Anna covered her mouth with a troubled face. Then Nancy clenched her fist and shouted as if she was resentful.

“What are you talking about? The youngest lady is the only princess of the Paeraton Duke’s family! You can do as much as you want.”

“You can do even more precious things as much as you want. But those things are heavy…….”

I glanced at the maids who were comforting me and subtly asked.

“Hey, then is there a room in the Duke’s residence where they collect sparkly things like this?”

So that I don’t look like a thief aiming for family heirlooms—which is true—as innocently as possible.

“Of course. How many rooms like that are there? There are even more in the Duke’s castle in the territory.”

Damn it, there are a lot.

I remembered that the Duke was rich.

I was going to ask to take a look, but what should I do? I have to go to the room with the family heirlooms, not other luxury goods…….

“Would you like to take a look?”

“Woong, when I was with Tié’s sister, I got beaten just for going near there……. Can I even look at such pretty things?”

I mumbled and glanced at the maids.

If I appeal like this, they might show me the best room.

Well, it wasn’t a lie.

“That dirty thief……! Why are you loitering around here! What are you trying to steal again! Someone with bad hands like you needs to be beaten to come to your senses!”

I was cleaning the hallway and went near the Marquis’s treasure room.

At that time, I was whipped on the back with a belt by the Marquis on the spot.

The Marquis himself ordered me to clean that hallway, and I didn’t even know there was a treasure room there.

‘No, no, don’t think sad thoughts. I got out of the Marquis’s residence, and there’s no one here to hit me!’

When I raised my head, the maids were looking at me with half faces that looked like they were about to cry and half faces that looked like they were about to explode.

Why are they making that expression?

“Don’t make that expression.”

No, what was my expression like? Your expressions are weirder…….!

Anna reached out to me, hesitated, and then withdrew her hand.

What is it, but Nancy hugged me tightly.

“Nancy, what rudeness—”

“Our youngest lady, so small and young……. Still a baby…….”

Anna’s horrified shout was blocked by Nancy’s sobbing.

I patted Nancy on the back.

“I’m okay! I have sisters who worry about me like this!”

When I said with a bright smile, the other maids also hugged me, saying, “Youngest lady!”

This is the first time in my entire life……. Um, it’s not a bad feeling?

Hehe.

Anna stopped when she saw me surrounded by the sisters and smiling.

And she reached out to me as if she had made up her mind.

A warm palm calmly strokes my hair.

Um, it feels good.

A faint smile spread across Anna’s face as well.

* * *

“The first thing the young lady sees should be the best in the Duke’s residence! If you’re going to look around, let’s go to the Holy War Room.”

The other sisters nodded vigorously at Nancy’s shout.

“There are much more valuable things than in the Tarenka Marquis’s residence! Compared to the Duke’s residence, the Marquis’s treasure room is boring.”

“Can we just go?”

“Yes, it’s a room where the Duke’s family heirlooms are kept, and as a direct descendant of the Duke’s family, the youngest lady naturally has access.”

“But you need His Grace the Duke’s permission to take out the family heirlooms.”

Ugh. Well, that’s right. I can’t just take it as I please.

‘Well, it’s still good.’

I can check if there is a summoning medium among the family heirlooms in the Paeraton Duke’s residence.

‘Then, without delay, let’s eat breakfast quickly and go right away.’

It was then.

Knock, knock, the butler came in with a knock on the door.

It was the first time the butler had come to my room since the first day I came to this house, so I was a little surprised.

What’s going on?

“Youngest lady, His Grace the Duke has asked you to have breakfast with him.”

Have breakfast together?

Suddenly?
