The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

Nicholas took back the plate of pudding and concentrated on the meal again.

And Cedric, too, stopped sitting uncomfortably in case it would interfere with Polly’s sleep and was eating comfortably.

So where is Polly now? Are you curious?

“Hi, Polly.”

“Hiii.”

It was on my lap after I finished eating early. Hehe.

I said hello to Polly continuously.

The tail of my mouth, which went up, seldom went down.

However, Cedric suddenly dropped his fork down and came to me as he felt like I was getting closer to Polly than himself.

“Hey, give Polly back to me. I’ve finished my meal.”

No, that’s not fair! I was brushing down on its fluffy back!

However, the owner of the magical being had said it, so it would be unavoidable to do anything… Hoo.

In fact, I had never envied Cedric before, but for the first time today, I felt envious.

‘Oh, come to think of it.’

I immediately thought of another way to catch Cedric’s attention, so I could hold Polly a little longer. It was none other than the healing potion in my pocket. Because I kept holding it in my pocket, the cool liquid was almost hot, but… I’m not going to drink it, so it’s okay.

“Lord, I’m sorry, but I can’t give you Polly yet.”

“What? Why? Polly is mine!”

After looking at Cedric, who looked at me as if it were absurd, with a slightly sad expression, I took out the potion from my pocket with one hand.

The other hand was still stroking Polly.

Such a lovely fellow, at first it was excited about the smell of food and didn’t know what to do, but now it’s gotten used to it and wasn’t trying to fly to the table and was just calm.

“……What is it?”

“It’s a potion. Healing potion, do you know what it is?”

Cedric asked carefully, showing an instant disgust at the liquid with a strange greenish color.

But yes or no, I snapped the potion’s cork off.

Soon a disgusting smell came.

It was a subtle, subtle smell that made people feel repulsed.

“Okay. I get it. But what are you going to do with it? Don’t tell me I should drink it? Why?”

Naturally, the smell spread over a short distance and stuck in Cedric’s nose.

I nodded as if I couldn’t help it as I saw the brief moment when Cedric’s expression changed to ‘what the-’.

Then Cedric said, “No, I don’t want to. Why me?”

“You still have scars on your hands. I brought it to treat you,” I replied, shaking the bottle around. Cedric just stood there. He insisted that he didn’t like it, but when I had brought it for himself, it was clear that his heart had weakened a little.

Um… isn’t it?

Seeing his eyes roll, it seems that he is looking for an excuse not to drink the potion.

“Because I’m all healed?”

Then, he naturally put his hand into the pocket of his pants and spoke deftly.

Lying doesn’t work.

Of course it doesn’t work for me!

“Let’s apply it instead of drinking it then!”

“Apply……?”

Phew, I let you win.

With that in mind, I suggested the next best option.

Eating works quickly, but applying it is not bad either.

Eventually, Cedric quietly reached out his hand in front of me.

As expected, what he said earlier was a lie.

The scratch was slightly scabbed, but the red color remained.

Without hesitation, I poured the potion on it.

Pour-

Would it be an illusion if the liquids dripping from this little bottle look like silver coins falling off my piggy bank?

Oh no.

I am not such a petty person.

You can invest at least one of those banks for your (future) connections and friends!

My fingertips finally brushed off the last drop of the potion.

Anyway, the bottle’s amount was just ant-sized anyway, so it would be absorbed just fine.

“Okay, it’s all done.”

The miracle of suddenly turning into a new flesh did not happen.

However, as the green liquid soaked in, I could see the scab faded and the redness disappeared.

Cedric looked at his hand with an unpleasant expression, and soon got up when the potion had soaked in completely.

“Well, thank you. Hmm.”

“What. If you’re grateful, can you let me hold Polly a little more…”

“That’s not allowed. Give me Polly.”

Tsk, it didn’t work.
