The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 108

I didn’t expect Belzeon to get this angry.

Of course, I was prepared for a bit of a scolding.

I was supposed to stay quiet in the Holy Empire, but I ended up using my powers.

Still, after some internal calculations, I concluded that Belzeon would be able to cover for me, so I acted…

Belzeon was acting out of character.

He was raging in front of the cardinal, threatening to kill Remil, and he was genuinely angry at Chesha.

His eyes were so scary that Chesha couldn’t help but shrink back and watch him cautiously.

It was even more so because I didn’t know exactly what he was angry about.

It was when I was vaguely guessing the reason for his anger.

“What do you think of me?”

Chesha was speechless.

He didn’t wait for Chesha’s answer and continued.

“If you think of me as your brother, don’t ever appear before me again.”

He delivered the harsh words with a commanding tone, but the last words he added were laced with a vulnerable softness.

“Please, don’t do anything dangerous…”

Chesha froze.

‘He’s angry because I’m in danger!’

Chesha belatedly realized her mistake, feeling awkward in this unfamiliar situation.

That’s because, according to Chesha’s standards, it wasn’t a dangerous thing at all.

‘Of course, I’m a baby now, but still…’

Kieren must have told Belzeon that Chesha was a fairy.

I really didn’t think he would be so angry about the danger, even though he knew that Chesha was a very, very powerful fairy.

Looking at his red eyes, which seemed like they would burst into tears if I touched them, I was reminded of the boy who was crouching alone in the corner of the study.

Suddenly, my heart ached as if it was being squeezed.

Chesha swallowed the painful feeling and quietly opened her arms to him.

Then, as if he had been waiting for it, Belzeon hugged Chesha back.

Since there was a big difference in physique, it looked more like Chesha was nestled in Belzeon’s arms rather than a mutual embrace.

Chesha stretched out her short arms and hugged Belzeon tightly, then apologized.

“Mianhae-yo [I’m sorry].”

Even though I was mumbling an apology, Belzeon didn’t say anything.

Chesha, feeling guilty for her actions, tried to look at Belzeon, tilting her head this way and that.

However, I couldn’t see his face because Belzeon was pressing down on the top of my head with his chin.

Belzeon, who had been silent for a while with his face on Chesha’s head, suddenly opened his mouth.

“Ishuel told me. He said he became strange because of you. I thought the twins had changed a lot too.”

“…?”

“I’m the same. There’s no difference.”

Belzeon muttered.

“Because you changed me…”

The one who had always been rational committed an irrational act.

He brought out and poured out all the emotions he had always hidden and suppressed.

The one who changed Belzeon to reveal his raw self was undeniably Chesha.

How did this happen?

The relationship, which was full of vigilance and suspicion, was now tied with a strong bond.

But Chesha didn’t hate the strings that the men of the Vasilios family had tied to her.

The strings were a bit too tough than I thought, heavy like chains….

Sometimes I wondered if they were tied too tightly.

Still, Chesha also liked Vasilios.

I didn’t hate the fact that they regarded me as their youngest and tried to protect me.

It felt like I had really become a family.

‘We’re not related by blood, but still, isn’t this like a real family!’

No, wouldn’t it be much better than a real family?

I don’t know because I don’t have anything to compare it to.

Chesha promised Belzeon.

“I’ll listen to Oraboni [older brother] well. I won’t do anything dangerous either.”

Then I held out my little finger.

It was a hand gesture I used to make when I had something to promise Hata.

“…….”

Belzeon silently intertwined his finger with Chesha’s.

And he pressed down with his thumb, stamping it like a seal, and asked Chesha.

“I don’t need that kind of crown at all, so don’t overdo it.”

He didn’t like the fact that Chesha was trying to do something and was wriggling around with Aran Scaya.

“If you get even a scratch because of trying to get a crown…”

Belzeon stopped talking and looked at Chesha.

I was even more anxious because he stopped talking.

Chesha carefully asked him.

“W-what are you going to do…?”

Then Belzeon smiled.

His well-shaped fingers lightly pinched Chesha’s soft cheeks.

“Shall we blow up the Great Temple this time?”

“…….”

He was clearly saying it as a joke.

‘It sounds completely serious….’

If I don’t want to see a bomb explode in the Holy Empire, Chesha should just be careful in the future.

***

Benji and Theo’s duel was held quietly.

Since the Holy Empire had nothing to gain no matter how the conclusion was reached, it was subtly managed to prevent any noise.

As expected, Theo proudly won the victory.

The first thing Theo did as soon as he won an overwhelming victory against Benji was to run to Chesha.

“Chesha-nim [Chesha, honorific]…!”

He ran over covered in dirt and sweat, earning Ishuel’s glare.

Normally, he would have been wary of Ishuel’s glare.

But Theo, who was very excited, didn’t care.

“I won. Just like Chesha-nim said. Benji was nothing. I, really, Benji…!”

Chesha praised Theo, who was happy and talking nonsense.

“You did well!”

Then Theo became even more emotional for some reason.

“It’s all thanks to Chesha-nim.”

He gave all the victory he had won to Chesha, saying that he would not have been able to take courage if it wasn’t for Chesha.

Ishuel, who didn’t like Theo fawning over Chesha, sneered.

“I’m sure Marquis Nemea will be happy too.”

As expected, as soon as the story about the Marquis came out, Theo’s face darkened as if a dark cloud had formed.

Ishuel, who succeeded in ruining Theo’s mood, pretended not to know and smiled coyly, hugging Chesha.

Theo, who didn’t know that Ishuel had done it on purpose, acted innocently.

He forced a smile and answered obediently.

“The Marquis will probably scold me for doing something useless.”

“What does that matter?”

Chesha stepped up for the pitiful Theo.

I fluttered the ribbon that Ishuel had tied on my head and approached him.

Theo bent his large body and looked down at Chesha.

Chesha also looked up at him, craning her neck.

“I’m happy that Jjeo-neun [I am] Theo won.”

“…….”

“Theo-nunyo [And Theo]?”

“…Me too.”

Theo hesitated for a moment.

But the hesitation didn’t last long.

The big teddy bear smiled happily.

“I’m happy too.”

Chesha smiled brightly, following Theo’s lead.

As the two of them were creating an atmosphere where flowers were blooming, Ishuel showed a very uncomfortable feeling.

“A bear, of all things…”

I was openly muttering as if to be heard, but I didn’t bother Theo anymore.

It was a fortunate thing.

‘I want to tell Kieren too.’

He acted like it was a nuisance, but Kieren secretly took care of Theo.

He also watched Theo’s swordsmanship a couple of times, using the excuse that Vasilios shouldn’t lose.

He would be satisfied to hear that Theo had won.

‘But he’s busy these days.’

Chesha recalled the day she went to see Kieren after returning from the meeting that day.

Belzeon delivered the first task of the Minor Saint Prayer Meeting to Kieren.

As soon as he heard the task of ‘think about what you can offer to God and bring the only thing in the world’, Kieren openly laughed.

It was an annoying laugh, but it also had a subtle hint of amusement mixed in.

“To give this kind of task to Vasilios… The Holy King is senile.”

Then he leisurely reassured Chesha not to worry about anything.

It was peaceful until then.

Until I heard that Chesha almost died because of the cardinal.

Belzeon told me about Chesha’s actions in great detail, and the smile disappeared from Kieren’s face, who had been grinning.

Kieren, who had heard everything, including the story that Chesha had stepped in to stop the rampage, muttered quietly without expression.

“Our Jjesha [Chesha, endearment] doesn’t listen to Appa [Dad] at all…”

Of course, I promised not to use the fairy’s power in the Holy Empire.

If Chesha hadn’t stepped in at that time, everyone might have died.

But there was no chance to make excuses.

Chesha was kicked out of the office as it was, and Kieren and Belzeon had a long conversation alone.

‘I haven’t seen his face properly since then.’

I was worried that Kieren might have had strange thoughts.

Seeing that I haven’t heard any news about the cardinal’s death yet, it seems like he’s still acting rationally.

‘He must be very angry.’

Chesha was lost in thought alone.

I need to meet him to talk about it….

It wasn’t easy to meet Kieren after that.

And without having a proper conversation with Kieren,

The Minor Saint Prayer Meeting had begun.
