The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

“Well, that’s it…”

Yes, where did you learn it? It was rather that I, on my side, was really curious about the answer to that question. Perhaps I’ve learned it in my previous life, but I’m not sure exactly when. So I just smiled and replied,

“I must have learned it from a maid in the house. Because you get hurt a lot in life.”

“Oh, indeed.”

Ninaina nodded her head seriously for a meaningless answer, and Nicholas, who quietly said,

“You look a little smarter.”

As soon as I saw it, I looked down shyly. It’s not a big deal anyway. What’s the point of bragging about this? Rather, it was Jake, the patient I had just treated that was more important. I stared at Jake’s tiny hand and asked carefully,

“Jake, it doesn’t hurt anymore?”

“Yes……”

Jake nodded. Fortunately, Jake looked really fine because his face was similar to usual. However, the tip of his ear looked slightly red.

‘But, the only time when Jake’s ears turn red… is when he lies?’

I paused for a moment and then shook my head. There’s nothing to lie about. The red ears must have been because he was cut by a knife and startled, perhaps. Then Jake replied again, fiddling with his bandaged hand.

“……It doesn’t hurt at all because Mir fixed it.”

“That’s a lie, that.”

I glanced at Jake slightly so it wouldn’t look too hateful. Maybe it was too exaggerated. I even applied a sore disinfectant that hurt enough to scream, but I can’t believe it didn’t hurt. Obviously, when I applied it, I saw a slight frown. Suddenly, Jake avoided my gaze, and immediately mumbled. No, he pretended to be muttering, and in fact, he said clearly as if wanting everyone to listen.

“Really. But if Mir does the blow, I think it would be completely healed…”

“Huh?”

At the moment I was embarrassed. No, how old is he to ask for such a favor… No, he is 6 years old. Oh my.

“……Okay. Now, give me your finger.”

Eventually, I nodded my head unwillingly after much thought. Soon, Jake’s face brightened.

“Hmm! Here!”

“Hoo.”

I sighed briefly and then quickly blew Jake’s little finger. In fact, even though it was for the finger, the bandage would have made it difficult for the air to pass well. Does this really work?

“Thank you, Mir.”

“……what is it with something like this.”

And in conclusion, Jake smiled widely as if he had never been hurt. Yes, this is all it takes. Jake was smiling, so I was satisfied with it. I tried to laugh along as I felt the warmth of my heart. No, but wait.

‘Did Jake cry when he was hurt……?’

I looked back on my previous memories and tilted my head. Of course, Jake doesn’t cry often at his age, but it seems like he was crying when he accidentally wounded his hand on a rose thorn in the garden.

‘Ah, I don’t know.’

But in the end, I erased those miscellaneous thoughts from my head. It’s useless to think about it and use up the capacity of the brain in my head! After a while, the dining room was cleared and the class began. Fortunately, the dizzying commotion from earlier was forgotten by everyone, and only a cozy atmosphere was felt. I, too, got a little drowsy because I had lunch, so I was dozing off in my chair.

“Hmm, it’s warm.”

The moment I was about to sleep deeply, I felt something warm on my knees. I stroked something in my sleep. Then, something that I didn’t know suddenly flapped.

“Oh? Is it Polly?”

I opened my eyes in amazement and saw Polly sitting on my lap. Polly pecked my hand with its beak, saying ‘hello’ with its round eyes open. Cedric was holding it, but… did it come by itself? Wondering, I looked around with my half-closed eyes, and soon I could see Cedric pretending not to know. Cedric pretended not to glance towards me, while he was looking at me secretly with a side glance.

‘I can see it clearly.’

It was shallow enough to make me snort, but I decided to let it go. I don’t know why, but it seemed like Cedric was shy about receiving the healing potion from me earlier. With Polly sitting on my lap, my head facing down and a bright smile, I picked it up. The warmth touched my skin, so I tried to fall asleep again. But just before I fell asleep, I had to open my eyes again because of the thoughts in my head.

‘Come to think of it, it’s very coincidental. Jake was hurt right after I treated Cedric with a potion.’

Two people were hurt at once, so I wondered what day it was today. If there were two potions, it would have healed Jake’s wounds quickly, but I also had a little regret.

‘Well, if Jake’s father is a wizard, he’ll be fine. When he returns to the mansion, he will be healed with healing magic… It is also a strong magic that is incomparable with the potion I bought.’

Of course, I quickly erased that regret from my mind.
