===================
Inside the luxurious guest room in the government office.
Tie set the paper and pencil that had been provided down on the floor and lay down in front of them.
Then she carefully wrote Korean letters with a serious face, but,
[Plans from now on.]
She immediately got startled, erased it, and wrote again.
[Plans from now on plans.]
Tie became very pleased and moved her fingers again.
[First goal. Meet Dad. Make Dad happy in our hometown.]
This was the goal Tie had had ever since she first came to this world.
To meet Dad, and protect him so that he would not perhaps return to Korea again.
Thinking of the ‘law of fated return’ that Kkamangi had mentioned, it would not have been strange if Dad returned to Korea again at any time.
Next,
[Second goal. Protect Kkamangi.]
Tie stopped writing and sank into thought.
Kkamangi was the lifesaver and friend who had brought Tie to this world.
Tie had also gone around saying that Kkamangi was her familiar.
That was to protect Kkamangi more easily, since it seemed to be running from someone.
“‘Yeah, Tie was definitely doing well.'”
So she had thought that if she just kept doing that from now on, it would be fine.
But,
[The young spirit may show you the way.]
[If it remains by your side, Lucarion will someday……]
For some reason, it seemed that was not all Tie had to do.
Holding the pencil again, Tie continued writing.
[Find out Kkamangi’s true identity.]
Kkamangi was neither a Tanipang nor a Puppetmon.
Seradin the princess he had just met had even spoken as if Kkamangi were a spirit like himself.
“‘Is Kkamangi really a spirit?'”
If that was the case, then the spirits of this world were somehow……
Thinking, Tie wrote the next letters.
[Third goal. Find out the identity of the magic stones too!]
When Tie thought about it, it seemed there was some special relationship between spirits and magic stones.
“‘When I asked Princess Seradin why she had become a magic stone, she gave a weird answer.'”
Seradin had said she had lost her power for certain reasons.
Then she had also spoken about something called the Mother Tree.
[When the roots of a tree rot, it is the leaves that wither first. We have something called the Mother Tree.]
“Mother Tree……?”
[Yes. That tree has long governed such things as life, nature, and purity. The source of the power we spirits possess also comes from there. But……]
Unfortunately, that was where Seradin’s explanation had ended.
But Tie worked her head hard and tried to guess the situation.
[First, there aren’t just one or two spirits.]
Seradin had spoken as if there were spirits other than themselves.
Because she had kept referring to the spirits as ‘we.’
Then one suspicion naturally brushed through Tie’s head.
“‘Could it be that because that Mother Tree got hurt, the baby spirits became lost children?'”
If, in context, the ‘certain reasons’ Seradin had mentioned meant that the roots of the Mother Tree had rotted.
Then it also made sense that, because of that, the spirits had ended up in trouble.
After thinking hard, Tie wrote on.
[Lost spirit = magic stone?]
Seradin had lost her power and become a magic stone.
If so, were the other spirits like that too?
If Lucarion had been like that too, and if by any chance all the magic stones that existed in the world were really spirits…… then.
Tie shook her head from side to side.
“Nngh, Tie still doesn’t know that yet.”
The information Seradin had given was limited.
So there were some things Tie would have to check herself to know properly.
“Then……”
Tie bit on the end of the pencil, then wrote at the very bottom.
[Look at later: find Mother Tree, see if there are spirits in other magic stones too.]
Setting down the pencil, she picked up the paper with a proud heart.
“Hm-hm.”
Even though it had been a very long time since she had written, Tie’s handwriting was careful and clear.
If her kindergarten teacher had seen it, she definitely would have praised her……
Tie’s eyes instantly turned wistful.
“‘I want to go to kindergarten again.'”
Tie liked Basto, Veil, and Nordix.
She also liked the new people she met while traveling with those three.
But Tie still needed friends her own age.
“‘These days they say if you don’t attend kindergarten, kids look down on you in elementary school……'”
But going to kindergarten in this appearance was in truth effectively ridiculous.
Because Tie was acting as the Necromancer King now.
Tie first got to her feet.
Then she put the paper with the plan on it into her bag and went to the door.
The moment she grabbed the doorknob, her stomach churned.
Growl- growl-
In truth, she had been hungry from the moment she woke up.
She had been enduring it to reorganize her plans.
When she hurried outside, a splendid corridor immediately unfolded.
“……Right, Tie came to the government office!”
A swelling sense of satisfaction rose in her heart.
To think she had forgotten that they had changed lodgings thanks to Marianne’s help.
“‘The food at the government office will taste better too.'”
As she excitedly went down the central stairs, a familiar face waved from the lobby.
“Commander. Did you sleep well?”
“Oppa Veil!”
Happy to see him, Tie pattered over and hugged Veil.
Then he grinned and tugged at Veil’s clothes again and again.
“Oppa, you know, Tie thought about it, you know! The magic stones……!”
Then she sensed that something was strange and shut her mouth.
For some reason, Veil’s expression looked awkward.
Also, Veil was staring somewhere behind Tie, not at Tie.
Tie paused, then slowly turned around.
And she got a fright.
“G-Guv’nor’s sons……?!”
Right beside the central stairs.
The governor’s two sons they had rescued last night were standing side by side.
And with rather startled faces too.
“Ah, Necromancer King. So, well……”
As the one called Enzo stumbled over his words, a boulder dropped over Tie’s head.
“‘Idiot, idiot.'”
She had completely forgotten.
That within Pearl City she always had to act like the ‘Necromancer King.’
Tie uneasily reviewed her actions.
What had Tie done again?
Run down the stairs, call Veil ‘Oppa,’ and act completely like a child……
“V-Veil Op……”
It was the moment he looked at Veil, not knowing what to do.
“Y-you two stay right here and don’t move. If you go anywhere, forget joining, there’s nothing.”
After saying that quickly, Veil hoisted Tie up at once and strode off somewhere like the wind.
Within her shaking field of view.
Tie could see Raul and Enzo standing exactly where they were, just as Veil had said.
They were still staring right through Tie with shocked faces.
* * *
“Tie did wrong!”
Tie lowered her head deeply before Basto, Nordix, and Veil.
Her eyes were brimming with tears.
“Tie was trying to do perfect acting, but for a moment I forgot……”
The members listening tried hard to hide their awkward expressions.
In truth, up until now Tie’s acting had not been that perfect.
If one thought about it, what Tie had to do was act like an ‘adult.’
But no matter how good the acting was, Tie, who was still only four, could not behave perfectly like an adult.
“What do we do? Guv’nor’s sons found out Tie’s true identity……”
Meanwhile, bad imaginings were puffing up in Tie’s head.
Raul and Enzo leaving the government office building and spreading that Tie was really a four-year-old brat.
The townspeople hearing that and becoming disappointed in Tie.
In the end, the rumor reaching the governor’s ears too……
“‘I’m sorry, but Tie? Pearl City government office is a no-kids zone. Please leave.'”
Tie being kicked in the butt along with her luggage and chased out……!
“This is bad. What do I do.”
Tie began turning in circles anxiously on the spot.
Just as Basto, unable to bear it, was about to speak,
“Ah!”
Something flashed through Tie’s mind.
The child’s two eyes sparkled, then her gaze lowered.
A pretty bracelet that had not been there until yesterday was hanging on her wrist.
The gift given by the spirit princess, sea god Seradin.
“Purity of Oblivion!”
[If you touch a target with the hand wearing this purity, you will likely be able to erase whichever memory you desire from the memories that target possesses.]
Hurrying to look back at the members, Tie said,
“Should Tie erase them?”
Everyone flinched, but Tie paid it no mind and went on.
“Should Tie erase both Guv’nor’s sons?”
Naturally, what she meant was that she would erase their memories.
But the three men’s complexions turned pale in an instant.
