The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 31

Somehow, it didn’t feel right.

It felt very, very ominous.

While tormented by her fairy instincts, Hata examined Cheshire in his hands.

“Why is it really like this…….”

Cheshire jingled as he was examined.

Not satisfied with just looking, he put him on the floor and poked and prodded him here and there.

After checking his palms and soles, and even sniffing him for a long time.

Hata became completely serious.

Hata, kneeling, spoke with a face on the verge of tears.

“I don’t know…. Hata will make the potion again. Please wait a little.”

If she showed any signs of anxiety here, Hata would have an even harder time.

Cheshire patted Hata on the shoulder, who was very dejected, to reassure him.

“It’s not urgent yet! Take your time.”

Receiving Cheshire’s touch, his tail, which had been drooping, wagged slightly.

“And close the shop for a while and hide. This might happen again.”

If Hylon was in his right mind, he wouldn’t do something like today again…….

The problem was that he didn’t seem to be in his right mind.

‘He’s really crazy.’

To meet a fairy, he broke the rule that had been tacitly followed on the continent: ‘Do not touch the underworld.’

Anyway, he was fine, but sometimes he caused such a big accident that even Cheshire was startled.

It was scary because she didn’t know what Hylon, who seemed normal but was actually crazy, would do again.

It was best to avoid him in advance.

“Yes. Hata will be careful.”

Kind and cute Hata obediently complied with Cheshire’s words.

He closed all the underworld shops and even the branch in the capital, and decided to only accept personal orders little by little.

It was while she was worrying about Hata and listing various concerns.

Hata pouted and said.

“But Richessi, you have to be careful too. Hata is so, so worried. Because we’re apart…….”

Cheshire’s heart ached at Hata’s words of concern for her.

After being given the name of a fairy, she had never received anyone’s concern.

Only Hata always said these things to Cheshire.

Hata was so cute that she laughed.

If she wasn’t in a small baby’s body, she would have squeezed Hata’s cheeks with both hands.

Reluctantly, she climbed onto Hata’s lap with a grunt, stood on tiptoe, and stroked his head.

Hata’s face turned red in an instant.

He blushed red to the back of his neck and was shy.

Hata brought his head a little closer to Cheshire’s hand and mumbled.

“Hata wants to be next to Richessi too. I’m not going to run the store anymore!”

How he would come to Cheshire next to the Basilian family.

It was nonsense.

Cheshire just ignored it and asked him what she was curious about.

“But Hata.”

“Yes!”

“Did…. the Basilian kids ever come?”

“No?”

Hata, who was blinking with eyes that knew nothing, belatedly let out an ah, sound.

“I recently received a hat order from the capital store, and one of them was ordered by the Basilian family.”

It seemed that Hata had received an order from the Basilian family at the clothing store where he supplied goods.

“I was going to surprise Richessi…….”

Hata was very sad at the situation where he had no choice but to confess, as he had been planning a surprise.

Cheshire, who knew how to appease him very well, asked him what kind of hat he had made.

“Hata made a very cute baby hat. And a gentleman’s hat too!”

Hata soon forgot his depression and excitedly bragged.

She praised him diligently so that he could brag more and feel better.

After trapping him in a praise prison for a while, Cheshire looked at the wall clock.

She was surprised when she checked the time.

“I gotta go back.”

It was time to go back.

Hata became tearful again at Cheshire’s farewell.

“When do you think it will be over? Hata is lonely.”

“Well, it might take a little longer than I thought.”

The original plan was to sneak in and out quickly.

‘But the more I know, the more suspicious the family is.’

It was not like an onion, and endless suspicious questions popped out.

Even in the last few days alone, she had learned things she had never guessed.

The Basilian family may be involved in the underworld.

‘Today, Karha too…….’

Why on earth did Karha come to Hata’s hat shop in the underworld?

It would be strange if he came as a customer, but it was even stranger because he wasn’t.

Karha seemed to be out to investigate something.

She had only been interested in Kiern’s night outings.

Now, she would have to pay close attention to the twins’ outings as well.

Cheshire, who was sorting out her complicated thoughts, suddenly thought.

It felt like touching a giant snake.

When she first saw the exposed part, she guessed it would be an appropriate size.

But the more she touched it, the more Cheshire couldn’t know the end of the snake she was touching.

Like an ouroboros [a symbol of eternity and cyclical renewal] that continues endlessly, with its head and tail connected.

However, one thing was certain.

The stories known to the world about the Basilian family…….

It was only a very small part.

***

Cheshire’s outing was safely completed without being noticed.

The Basilian brothers also acted as if nothing had happened from the next day.

The serious atmosphere of that day was nowhere to be found.

It seemed that things had been settled well.

And Cheshire was constantly looking for an opportunity to find out about Kiern’s night outings.

Of course, it wasn’t easy.

As always, the twins wouldn’t leave Cheshire alone.

Today, Cheshire was being harassed.

“Please have some tea, Captain.”

“Okay. I’ll eat well.”

When Cheshire answered in a solemn voice, Ishuel chuckled.

Cheshire took a sip of milk from a small teacup, nodded, and praised him.

“It’s very delicious.”

“Thank you, Captain.”

Cheshire frowned at Ishuel’s appearance, who was having so much fun.

Cheshire was playing house in the garden with Ishuel.

Ishuel had prepared a house play in the garden to play with his younger sibling, Cheshire.

It was not a welcome act for Cheshire at all.

However, she couldn’t help but pretend to be happy and start playing house because he was looking at her with expectant eyes.

However, no matter what, she didn’t want to play roles such as ‘princess and prince’, ‘doctor and patient’, or ‘dad and mom’, which were popular themes in house play.

So Cheshire suggested playing ‘Captain and Subordinate’.

Of course, the captain was Cheshire.

As soon as he heard the theme Cheshire suggested, Ishuel laughed as if he was about to faint and readily agreed.

So, they spread a mat under the shade of a tree and started playing house with a cute tea set.

‘It’s not easy to humor a child.’

While sighing inwardly, Ishuel broke a cookie into half, half, and half pieces and brought it to her mouth.

“Please have some cookies too.”

Cheshire took the small broken cookie and ate it.

“How is it, Captain?”

“This is delicious too.”

It was when Ishuel was once again busy laughing and giggling.

“What are you two doing?”

As expected, Karha appeared without fail.

“Speak of the devil.”

Ishuel clicked his tongue as he watched Karha walk over slowly.

Then suddenly his eyes lit up.

“That’s great! Captain, the second subordinate has arrived.”

“…Huh?”

Karha, who was about to sit down, stopped awkwardly.

Cheshire explained the situation to him.

“We’re playing house.”

“But why a subordinate? Don’t you usually do prince and princess, something like that?”

“I don’t like it. I’m the captain.”

“Well, okay. Loyalty.”

Karha, who answered roughly, sat down next to Cheshire.

Then he greedily picked up and ate the desserts that were prepared.

He smiled as he bit into a blueberry muffin with cream.

“This smells really good.”

“Didn’t you eat lunch earlier?”

“I ate, but I’m hungry.”

“Hey! Stop eating. There’s nothing for the captain to eat.”

“The captain can’t eat all of this. She’ll only eat as much as a bean.”

It was when Cheshire, who had become free thanks to Ishuel and Karha bickering, was peacefully drinking milk.

Rustle, rustle.

A rustling sound was heard from the garden bushes.

Karha, who was pulling Ishuel’s hair, looked back at the bushes with an oh.

“Dog smell……?”

Cheshire flinched at the mumbling words in a slightly doubtful voice.

Surely not?

But as always, the ominous premonition was perfectly correct.

A small lump popped out of the finely shaking bushes.

The small fur ball that popped out with a pop rolled and stopped in front of Cheshire and the twins.

It was a dirty puppy with grass all over its body.

The soft, light brown fur puppy stood up on all fours and barked confidently.

“Woof!”

It was Hata transformed into a puppy…….
