My Daughters Are Regressors

Chapter 189: Child Who Loses Little by Little (1)

"So, Naru met a huge raccoon! The raccoon gave her seeds! I also walked in the forest holding hands with Dad and Mom, and it was so much fun!"

Naru was chattering excitedly in front of Hina and Cecily.

"We also stopped by the Walpurgis mansion and got a magic wand as a gift! They say it's the latest trendy magic wand that’s popular among the girls at the Magic Tower! It makes sounds when you press the button!"

Beep beep— Brrring—It was already the fourth time she had told the same story, but the fact that she kept repeating it without getting tired showed how much fun she had a few days ago.Hina and Cecily yawned a bit boredly, but they were somewhat interested in the seeds Naru was showing them.

"These are Nari flower seeds. The raccoon dogs say they can grow them, and they bloom into really pretty flowers! They say the honey from those flowers is incredibly delicious! Though I haven't tasted it...!"

The seeds were tiny, like grains.

"So if we plant these, beautiful wild pink roses will bloom?"

Cecily imagined wild flowers with beautiful pink petals.While the flowers blooming in greenhouses and gardens were beautiful, wild flowers had their own unique charm.If those flowers were well-dried using the "pressing" method and placed on Cecily's windowsill, they would be a very beautiful decoration.Also, if she succeeded in growing lots of seeds and was able to brew tea with the flowers, she couldn't imagine how fragrant it would be.

"Let's plant them right away!"

Rustle—Cecily made a small hole in the garden with her hand and carefully planted the seeds. Hina, who was watching her, also imagined pink flowers in her mind.Hina liked the color pink.Because Hina's hair was pink.

"Pink flowers..."

When they bloom colorfully, a corner of the garden would look like Hina's own personal space. Sifnoi, who was listening to their conversation, chuckled mischievously.

"Nymphs like Sifnoi... are fairies born from nature...! We are extremely talented at growing flowers, nurturing seeds, and commanding bees to collect honey...! This Nari flower...! I, Sifnoi, can make it bloom...! Hmm-!"

Sifnoi placed her palm on the mound of soil where the seeds were planted and exerted her power.Soon, there was a rustling sound, and a sprout really grew.Naru was surprised to see this.

"Wow, holy shh...! I heard that only raccoon dogs could grow these Nari flowers! I guess nymphs can grow them too!""Mwehehe...! Actually, it's the other way around...! In fact, these Nari flowers must have been cultivated by ancient nymphs.... It's clear that the raccoon dogs learned how to handle these flowers from the nymphs...! And the hornets that make honey from these flowers... they must be descendants of the honey bee workers that were once commanded by the honey water nymph long ago...!"

Naru couldn't quite understand what Sifnoi was saying, but she could tell it was something amazing. Just then, they heard the sound of someone ringing a bell in the distance.It was Brigitte.

"Naru, it's time to study science. Hina, Cecily, you come too, we need to study magic. Today's meditation will be 30 minutes. When you're ready, come to the magic research room in the mansion!""Science! Naru is a master of science! Today, we'll learn about the freezing and boiling points of Molumolu!"

━Grrrr

Pop—Naru hopped towards Brigitte.Cecily and Hina also followed Naru to the magic research room to take magic lessons from Brigitte.While Naru was learning about 'science', Cecily and Hina sat on a large carpet to meditate. Meditation was said to be the foundation of magic.

Snore— Snore—Cecily fell asleep just 10 minutes into the meditation.

Cecily wasn't very interested in magic, so she didn't have much enthusiasm for meditation.But Hina thought magic was great and cool, so she always stayed focused during meditation.

'Emptying the mind. That's the basis of magic. Hina will empty her mind....'

Hina emptied her mind completely.Hina had quite a talent for magic, so she could meditate well.But today was a bit different.

Pink flowers, raccoon dogs, and bees started flying around in Hina's mind.Perhaps it was because she had heard Naru's travel story that these distracting thoughts arose in her mind.

'Traveling with Mom and Dad. Naru, I'm envious.'

Hina also had lots of things she wanted to do with her mom and dad.Hina would soon be given about two days of time.What should she do?

'Travel....'

Hina thought it would be nice to go on a trip to a far-off place like Naru. There were so many places she wanted to go that it was hard to choose just one.

'Crab.... I want to eat crab.... I heard crabs grow big in cold regions.... If I can't eat crab, grilled chicken would be good too. Also....'

Rather than the travel destination itself, Hina was thinking about what she could eat there.

There was no hiding it, Hina loved to eat.After all, she was called the 'Priestess of Gluttony'.Then suddenly, she remembered something.

"Priestess of Gluttony... gluttony...."

There was someone who had given her that nickname.

"I remember.... I've decided...."

Hina decided what she would do with the time she would spend with her mom and dad.She felt almost sorry for forgetting it until now.

When the three had just returned from the future.It seemed that Naru, who had to travel a long distance, had the hardest time.Naru had arrived at her father's house after various hardships, such as hitching rides on people's wagons or being chased by terrifying swarms of bees.It was something only Naru, who was agile and had exceptional situational judgment, could have done.However, Hina had also gone through similar hardships as Naru.

Joining an evil organization, securing a high position, andmanipulating future events.That was the mission given to Hina.

Hina succeeded in that mission, being called the 'Priestess of Gluttony' and coordinating events that should have happened, reducing variables for the future.

'It was hard.'

Hina still felt tense in many ways when she thought about the work she did when joining the evil organization with nothing but her bare hands.If the forest where Naru had struggled was a hot wilderness, the back alleys of Freesia where Hina had rolled around were cool and cold streets.

'...On the first day, I had nowhere to sleep. I was very hungry. It was a lonely and sad period....'

Hina recalled those times and knocked on the door.This was a small village called Provence that was near Freesia.It was the old cottage where Hina had stayed.

Rustle—Soon, there was a sound of something moving noisily inside the cottage.Behind Hina, her mother Salome and father Judas were standing arm in arm, looking at Hina with expressions that seemed to ask, 'Is this really the right place?'

Hina waited calmly and examined her feelings.She had two days to spend with mom and dad.Hina clearly wanted to come to this cottage in the rural village of Provence first.

Click— Creak—Finally, the door opened and a child with short and shiny red hair popped out.The child had a small, round face.She appeared to be around 6 years old?

On the child's bottom, there was a tail about 30 cm long and as thick as a pinky finger, which revealed the child's identity.The child was an imp.

"Horohoro!"Hina hugged Horohoro tightly.The imp Horohoro also hugged Hina tightly.

"Hina! Long time no see! Have you been well?""...Ung, ung! Have you been well too, Horohoro?""Ung, ung! I've been doing well! When the uncles and aunties in Provence village ask Horohoro to run errands, Horohoro gets money and food in return for solving their problems!"

Hina and Horohoro were friends.Friends who had shared many joys and sorrows together.And for Hina, Horohoro was truly a lifesaver.

Hina then said.

"Today and tomorrow... for these two days... I want to walk around Freesia with Horohoro...! I promised Horohoro before...!"

Salome looked at Hina, who was speaking like this, with narrow eyes. It was surprising that all she wanted to do during this precious time with her parents was to walk around the city.She could have made unreasonable requests like wanting to see the pyramids in the distant great desert, or wanting to see the Eiffel Tower in another world.

'Hina lacks ambition.'

In Salome's opinion, Hina's desires were a bit weak.However, it was rare for Hina to express her own opinion about what she wanted to do, so Salome didn't say anything.Instead, the man next to her asked.

"Hina, are you sure you're okay with just walking around? You can do that anytime. You can choose a more distant place to travel to."

Pat— Pat—Judas placed his palm on Hina's head.The large palm felt very pleasant to Hina, but her opinion was firm.

"Freesia is fine...!""Really?""But... um...."

Hina hesitated.It was the first time Hina, who usually spoke calmly and quietly, had mumbled her words, so her father Judas didn't rush her and waited patiently.Finally, as if she had made up her mind, Hina said.

"But... um... I have a favor to ask... that is...!"

A favor?What other favor could his daughter ask her dad and mom besides walking around the city?Hina looked around with a blushing face.She was checking if there were people around, but there was no one nearby except for her family and Horohoro.However, she couldn't bring herself to say the favor out loud.

Wave— Wave—As Hina waved her palm, her father Judas slightly leaned his ear towards Hina.

Whisper— Whisper—When a small voice was released from Hina's lips, Judas was surprised.

"You want to dine and dash at a restaurant?"

It was a strange request.
