The Female Lead Takes Care of Everything - Chapter 107

By the age of seven, Nivellia had become quite eloquent.

“Sigh, I’m worried about leaving the Magic Tower Lord behind. What if she gets all whiny or gloomy again without me?”

And she had become remarkably adept at being annoyingly charming.

Magia suddenly felt a strange familiarity with the chattering words of Nivellia, who had come to visit her.

‘A spitting image of the Saintess.’

If she had to resemble someone, she should have taken after Celletina or Caleo, like her brother.

Magia suppressed a sigh of regret and lightly flicked Nivellia’s forehead with her palm.

“Ouch!”

“I barely touched you. Stop exaggerating.”

“How would the Magic Tower Lord know! It hurt, okay?”

“You’re all talk. So, when are you leaving and coming back?”

“I’m leaving after two sleeps. Uhm, two days! And I’ll come back after seven sleeps. One week!”

Magia picked up a notebook and pen that were lying haphazardly on the desk and recorded the schedule she had just heard.

She didn’t really need to write it down, but Nivellia liked it when she did, so she did it despite the bother.

Sure enough, when she glanced sideways, Nivellia’s cheeks were twitching upwards as if trying to poke her under-eyes.

‘Such a show-off.’

Magia stifled a laugh and asked in a deliberately serious tone.

“The wolf is going with you, right?”

“Yeah! He’s my knight. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Aref.”

“The Pella Merchant Guild has a promising future, so we should keep good records of things like this.”

“Hehe!”

Nivellia giggled at the Magic Tower Lord’s words.

Sometimes, when she saw that innocent smile after all the annoying behavior, Magia felt an emotion that was hard to explain.

This pleasant feeling, like her body was melting into a cozy warmth, was something she had experienced on the battlefield 40 years ago.

‘How could something so small be so warm?’

When the little white fur ball would often snuggle up next to her thigh.

When it would try to climb on top of her head.

‘Even in that hell, you were always so dignified.’

The white cat that walked proudly through the terrible battlefield filled with the corpses of humans and monsters.

To the people devastated by the war, Nini became a reason to live and a source of hope.

We can still endure.

If we die, the cat will die too.

We have to protect that small, warm creature.

Nini was also the driving force behind the war.

“…Nini.”

Magia called out to Nivellia.

Nivellia, hearing her name called, widened her eyes.

But she immediately ran over to Magia and sat down next to her. Now she could climb onto the sofa by herself.

“What’s wrong? Why did you call me?”

“Are you feeling sick anywhere?”

“Nope? I’m super strong and healthy, you know?”

She showed her clenched fist to prove it. Thanks to her chubby cheeks, her fist was a cute, round shape.

“Good grief.”

Magia ruffled Nivellia’s hair until it was a mess.

“Ugh! Ughhh!”

“You impudent, annoying little cat!”

“Kyahhh!”

Nivellia screamed as her head was shaken back and forth.

In the past, she would never have allowed the Magic Tower Lord to touch her, but recently she had been accepting it, albeit occasionally.

She would put up with it once out of every ten times.

–

Fortunately, Magia was forgiven by tying up her disheveled hair in an even more elaborate and pretty style.

“Lady!”

Aref, who had been waiting outside the first-floor door with a bag, waved his arm.

“Wow, your hairstyle is so pretty.”

“It’s pretty good for a Magic Tower Lord.”

Nivellia proudly showed off her hair, which was tied up like cat ears, with a satisfied expression.

“I almost scratched her face with my nails because I was so annoyed, but I let it go. The Magic Tower Lord is my subordinate, so I have to be lenient sometimes.”

Areph smiled.

Even though she said such annoying things, Nivellia liked Magia very much.

‘The Magic Tower Lord also cherishes the Lady.’

Even when she climbed on her back without permission or said impudent things.

Magia forgives and allows everything because it’s Nivellia.

“The Magic Tower Lord told me to give this to you, Aref.”

Nivellia took out a small bag filled with candy and chocolate from her pocket.

“I wish Aref could have come with me. The Magic Tower Lord wanted to see you too.”

“But the Lady is going to discuss important matters as the head of the Merchant Guild. A subordinate shouldn’t listen in without permission.”

“Hehe, is that so? Is that right?”

Nivellia swayed her body shyly and giggled.

Nivellia is nominally the owner of the Pelea Merchant Guild, but the main tasks are still handled by adults.

However, she seemed very worried about that.

Of course, Nivellia tries her best to do what she can. In fact, she is showing skills beyond expectations.

But sometimes.

She gets very upset when the adults around her or newspaper articles treat Nivellia’s management of the guild as if it were child’s play.

“I’m doing this because I really want to make money. But why don’t they recognize me as the boss? Is it because I’m young…?”

Areph had listened to Nivellia’s innermost thoughts when she was sobbing alone out of frustration.

Since that day.

“The President trusts the Lady, so he told you to supply the new product. That’s what I think.”

Areph always treated Nivellia as a more dignified and outstanding senior than himself when it came to work-related topics.

He always acknowledged Nivellia’s efforts and achievements. It wasn’t difficult either. Because it was all true.

“This time, the guild is moving solely on the Lady’s orders. If it succeeds, everyone will realize how amazing the Lady is. Definitely.”

“What if I fail?”

Nivellia muttered in a slightly deflated voice.

She usually showed her spirit by saying that she could just try again if she failed, but this time she seemed to be quite burdened.

The pressure of leading the guild herself.

Even the recent increase in the Roslen Merchant Guild’s provocations.

She had bravely accepted Celletina’s proposal, but Nivellia was very worried.

And she only revealed those feelings honestly in front of Aref.

Aref liked that very much.

But he never showed it.

“Just think about how to succeed. Then all obstacles will become opportunities. Like when you helped the witches and when Petra Bank went bankrupt.”

Besides, the President also failed a lot in the old days, right?

Areph deliberately lowered his voice when adding the last words. As if he were conveying a very important secret.

Only then did a faint smile appear on Nivellia’s face.

Then she giggled and showed her confidence.

“That’s right! You have to learn a lot from failure to succeed!”

Aref smiled as if to say, “That’s it.”

‘As expected, the Lady looks best when she’s smiling confidently.’

–

“……”

Magia, who had come down to the second floor on business, had been watching Nivellia and Aref’s affectionate all along.

“Those little things are amazing.”

Soon, one corner of his mouth tilted upwards.

His gaze, looking down from the railing, was simply warm.

‘That guy hasn’t changed, whether he was a wolf or now.’

He was desperate to adore the cat.

The wolf 40 years ago was also a pure and gentle fellow, unlike his fierce impression.

In particular, his patience in always putting up with the annoying antics of the cat, who was not even a mouthful, amazed those who saw it.

The cat, who sat on the wolf’s head every single day, was something, but the wolf who let it happen was also amazing.

That relationship has been maintained even after reincarnation.

Even though Aref has lost his memories of his past life.

‘…It’s already been almost 7 years.’

The day Aref traded his memories of his past life for Nivellia, who wasn’t even born yet.

“……”

Magia, recalling an unforgettable day 7 years ago, fiddled with his right forearm.

The faint pain was slightly annoying.

Just then, Nivellia and Aref left the Magic Tower.

Only then did Magia, who had taken his body off the railing, move his legs again.

The cycle of intermittent pain was getting shorter and shorter.

‘How should I interpret this?’

Is it a sign that the dragon that became an egg is about to awaken?

‘Originally, this curse was said to be a curse that rots the arm. Then the pain is understandable….’

Maggia was calm even in a situation where his arm could disappear.

He had lived alone and lonely for 200 years. He had finally found the possibility of regaining his mortal life, so would losing an arm matter?

However.

‘It keeps showing up.’

The bizarre pink traces.

Two years ago, the pink color that was only visible on the curse mark on his right arm had now begun to appear in other places as well.

“Magic Tower Lord.”

The magician guarding the front of the arrived door discovered Magia.

‘It has been asked.’The pink color was smeared on the magician who had just greeted him.

Magia reached out his right hand and brushed off the pink color that was on the magician’s hand.

The cursed right hand can erase the pink color. It is an important fact that he accidentally discovered last year.

“There was some dust here.”

“Thank you. The guest is waiting inside.”

“Did they come alone?”

“Yes.”

“You can rest until I call you.”

“I understand.”

Magia opened the door and went inside.

Inside was a little girl.

Brown hair and green eyes.

“Hello.”

And even a strange pronunciation that made him stop in his tracks.

“Are you the Magic Tower Lord?”

The little girl smiled prettily, curving her eyes, but the Magic Tower Lord couldn’t bring himself to smile.

‘How dare you change your appearance in front of me?’

Even with brown hair and green eyes reminiscent of Della?

Magia swallowed his rising annoyance and sat down.

‘That’s it.’

The bizarre thing.

It had been almost two years since the unidentified pink color had begun to appear in his eyes, but this was the first time he had seen such an unpleasant and vivid pink color.

It was like a reckless child had scribbled all over the place.

Even with malice.

“Magic Tower Lord.”

The bizarre thing opened its mouth.

“You have the Sacred Stone, right? Sell it to me.”
