The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

She also does not come in the clothes that she used to, which look dark and somewhat dull, and usually wears bright red-colored dresses. Of course, this change doesn’t seem to be due to the incident.

“Emir, did you come to kindergarten early again today?”

….. And I don’t know why.

Nina, who used to call me “Lady Saeron” her whole life, now hasn’t called me with ‘Lady Saeron’.

The number of times she called me “Emir” gradually increased as the days went by.

In short, Ninaina started to feel friendly to me.

Um, is it a good thing…?

Okay. No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t bad in the end.

Somehow, me saving Nina gave her a good feeling and she’s starting to like me.

‘By the way, how come the results are much better than what I initially planned to become friends with.’

Eventually, a few days later, I erased all the plans I had written down in my secret notebook to get acquainted with Princess Ninaina.

Now these plans are saying goodbye. Although I was disappointed with the customized plans I had put together… In the end, I succeeded in getting close to each other without using these plans!

It has already been over a week since the kindergarten opened.

I was secretly packing my bag to prepare for kindergarten tomorrow.

“Lady, what are you doing? Why are you so surprised?”

Suddenly, Nanny Carrie came in, after knocking on the door, and I quickly hid what I had in my hand in the hem of my dress. Of course, Carrie quickly sensed the suspiciousness from me, so she opened her eyes and looked at me with a glance.

My back was stinging, but I blatantly insisted to the end.

“I didn’t do anything, Nanny. I was just looking at this pendant ornament because my mom bought me a new bag yesterday.”

“…..Ah, is that so? Well. The bag the madam bought, I think it is very pretty. Because it’s scarlet, it suits the spring weather well on days like these.”

In the end, Carrie fell for the change of topic brilliantly as I intended.  Agreeing with Carrie’s suggestion to wear a white dress matching the bag tomorrow, I sighed as she disappeared.

“Whew. Why does the nanny dislike me having this stone.”

I grumbled and carefully searched the hem of my dress. Then, five small stones, the size of a fingernail, rolled out, with a smooth, smooth surface.

In order to play gonggi*, I had carefully picked it up from the backyard garden and ground it by hand on a rough whetstone. After that, I had washed it off several times with clean water.

But the last time Carrie took this dirty stone, saying I shouldn’t have it.

Ah, even though I had already washed it with water. The nanny!

Anyway, the stone I made this time could never be taken away. I don’t want to ardously grind the stone three times.

I carefully put the stones in a small cloth pouch, then hid the pouch again deep inside the bag.

Tomorrow I was going to take these to kindergarten and play gonggi with the children.

The next day, fortunately, I succeeded in taking the stones in my bag to kindergarten without being noticed by the nanny or other maids.

About 20 minutes before the class started, I took out the stones among the children who had gathered. Then Jake, who was looking at me right next to him, immediately reacted and asked a question.

“Uh, Mir, what is that?”

“Yeah, I made it after I worked hard a few days ago. Look, isn’t it smooth?”

“Wow. That’s true..”

In fact, until now, the other kids except Jake weren’t interested.

Alice somehow didn’t go to kindergarten today, Nicholas was reading a book like me at some point, and Ninaina was sticking next to me, but she didn’t seem interested in the stones that didn’t seem like much.

Cedric was sleeping well, lying on his desk and snoring, as if he had slept little last night.

So I decided to first tell my best friend, Jake, about this fun game specifically.

As a result of looking for and asking all my parents, nanny, and the youngest maid in the mansion, there was no such thing as gonggi in this world, so I will probably be the person who created gonggi here.
