Reborn Little Girl Won't Give Up Chapter 56

We were silent on the way home .  If I wait a little longer, then father will surely come and find me here . I believe this . But when will that be? In the meantime, more people might come to try to kidnap me .  

In that case, it would be safer to follow the one who claims to be royalty .  

I stared at the dark streets that had hardly any people on it . I recalled it vividly when I closed my eyes .  The person who was always by my side from the moment I woke up in the morning until I went to bed at night . The person who answered me seriously even though she probably didn’t understand what the baby me was saying . The person who was kind, bright and like family to me . Hannah .  

I opened my eyes .  And Amy- .

If I leave here by myself, then no one else would get involved . She was just getting along with me because of her father .  I left my body to Mill, who was holding me against his chest .  Of course, I can walk home by myself, but it’s better to move quickly at night . I won’t be selfish until we get home .  

“Barth . ” My voice was quiet, but it was heard clearly on a quiet night .  

“What is it, Lei?”

“Lei shhouwdn’th go?”

“That’s right . You’ll be lonely,” Bart joked .  But being lonely isn’t a reason that would stop me .  

“If you want to go, then go,” Mill rocked me and said as he looked up at the night sky .

“But- . ”

“Bart thinks so too, but we were negotiating . ” 

Kyaro took over, “We don’t want them to think that they can easily take you . ” He smiled .

“Then- . ”

“Oh yeah . You need to go back to your pops . ”

“Ai . ”

“He is a Prince, so you can trust him . ”

“Ai . ”

Even if I’m kidnapped or about to be kidnapped .

Even if I have to get those around me involved .

If I want to live and move forward, then there will surely be someone to help me . I may be fortunate, but they’re important people who give me a push when I want to give up .  

The Prince was only guessing, so I don’t know if there are really people who are out to get me just because I’m a one-year-old magic user . There are probably advantages to marrying children from two Houses with a lot of magic power . If so, then did they need to divide it into four Houses?

Besides- .  I didn’t want to think about it, and my body shook .  

“Lei are you cold?”

“Noth cowd . ”

“I see . ”

If you don’t need me, then kill me . Why do you have try to kidnap me so much? There’s so much I don’t understand .

“So, what should we have for dinner?” Mill asked, as he adjusted the way he hugged me .

“Pothathoesh . ”

“Lei likes potatoes . ”

“Mashhed onesh . ”

“We’ll buy that too . ”

“Ai . ”

For now, I have to leave these warm people and take a step forward .  Alistair kept looking down .  

No one talked about what happened today or about what would happen in the future while we were eating or lazing around . There was nothing they could do .

I’ve already decided . Alistair will worry for many years to come .

But, I will go back to father . I might have a tough time getting back there, but I was just moving from one warm place to another . However, Alistair was different .  

He had to go from a warm place, where he could work independently as a hunter to a place where he had to be alone .  

The place wasn’t Kingdom, which he hated so much . But he had to be involved with Wester’s royal family and work as a noble .  

When we went back to our room, Alistair was still sitting on the bed while hugging the barrier box even after I’d fallen asleep .

The next morning, we acted like we always did . It wasn’t a day off for them, so Mill didn’t make any tea . We quickly got ready and went to Brendel’s shop . Bart talked to Brendel about what had happened yesterday, and I went to where the building blocks were .

Alistair was silently filling magic stones today . I glanced at Alistair while playing with the blocks because I was curious since he usually helps me with them .  A lot of magic stones needed to be filled, and there was nothing wrong with filling a lot of them, but- .

I got up and toddled to where Alistair was . No, wait, I walked briskly to where he was . I stared at Alistair, who was so focused on his work that he didn’t notice me .  I knew it . His magic amount has increased dramatically, and he’s getting better at handling his magic . He’s channelling magic into the magic stones without waste . But- .

At that moment, the commotion at the store front had suddenly gone quiet, but I didn’t have time to worry about that . Alistair’s magic is about to run out .  Can he not tell that it’s about to run out?

I breathed out and knocked the magic stone out of Alistair’s hand . He raised his head in surprise and looked at me .  

“No more . ”

“Lei, I’m- . ”

“Chu can’th do ith, dangeroush . Chu don’th hab tho go!”

Alistair held his hand which had been slapped and looked down .  

I put my hands on his lap and looked up at him . Summer was over . But, his eyes were as blue as the summery-blue sky . I could see a spark in his eyes .   

Oh, he’s already made his decision . He wants to do everything he can before he leaves .

I stretched my hands out to Alistair .

“Cawwy . ”

“Lei!”

Alistair hugged me tightly .  He doesn’t want to go, but nothing will be solved if he avoids it . He had no choice but to face it . He made up his mind because he knew this, but still- .

“Chu don’th wanth tho go?”

“I don’t . ”

I feel like I can hear the sounds of sniffing coming from everywhere inside of the shop .  

“They’re only 1 and 11, you know . Think carefully if you really want to shoulder them with the future of Wester . ”

“Understood . ”

The Prince replied to Bart . Alistair and I were taken aback and let go off each other . The Prince muttered as he stared at us, “Violet and summery-blue eyes . Beautiful . And you can’t escape from your heavenly fates . The same goes for Wester’s royal family . ”

Heavenly fate . That might be so . But, even if that is the case, I want to choose how I live since I’ve been born in this world . Even if I’m swept by the tides of fate, I’ll decide my own path .  I, who had been looking at the Prince, stood up without holding Alistair’s hand and looked at him .  

Alistair looked at me, and I saw that his hesitancy was gone .  If you have to do something, then decide when you want to start .  I grinned . Alistair raised the corners of his mouth a bit .  

“Awishthair coow . ”

“Am I?”

This time, his mouth turned up, and he looked as if he was really smiling before declaring, “I’m going to the fief capital . ”

If you have to go, then decide when you’ll go .
