Chapter 03: It looks like I am strong!

 

I suddenly made an appearance next to Leila who was memorizing aloud her maid’s job.

It seems she was washing a lot of laundry.

Although she was producing a little bit of water with magic, Leila’s magic wasn’t very strong compared to mine. Even so, it was not weak for this world.

Because there was sufficient time to improve. Well, that was the way it was for the magical power of a child.

 

“Leila, are you okay?”

“Liliana-sama! I am okay, because this is my job…”

“Won’t it be too difficult to dry? This quantity…”

“I have to hurry…”

“Liliana, Leila, cakes!”

 

Okaa-sama came over during our conversation.

Then, I had an idea.

 

“It would be a piece of cake if I use my wing magic”

“No way! This quantity of laundry!? It is impossible, there are more than a hundred sheets…”

“It’s okay. It is easy as pie for me!”

“Is that so…? Will you not be worn out?”

“Don’t worry. I used to play with wind, casting it myself”

 

Once in a while, I would wipe clean the rose garden.

Okaa-sama would be pleased whenever I gathered the petals with wind.

 

“This time around, a strong magical power is required, right? Others might not do it but her magic ability is outstanding. She is sometimes called a prodigy or something like a genious”

 

Okaa-sama, don’t praise me like that, it is embarrassing.

I looked down with a flush face.

Leila was looking at me with eyes full of respect. It was very embarrassing, being stared at with sparkling eyes.

 

“Alright, is the laundry done? Leila”

“Yes, please do!”

“Then-, wind magic!”

 

At my shout, the laundry wavered gently in the air.

With the warm wind spreading, the laundry got dry in the twinkling of an eye.

 

“Because the weather was bad yesterday, the other houses might be in trouble too, I wonder if they need help? Liliana”

 

Okaa-sama said her wish to me.

 

“You would be thanked with a reward!”

“Cakes? With cakes, right!?”

“That’s right. I will give you one box of cakes for every house you help. There are only high-class cakes. There are also limited edition you cannot eat easily”

“Wow, I’ll do my best, I’ll do my best!”

 

I loooove cakes!

I went to dry the laundry of various houses.

 

“As expected of Liliana-chan from the Rose house. Since ancient times, only magic is so amazing~”

“You’ve been a great help. If you were not a tomboy…”

“Well, even so, isn’t she cute?”

 

The old ladies were all excited about me.

 

“That magical power is quite unique. If our child had such magical powers…”

“Yeah, a gifted ability… you are a chosen child, surely”

 

(Praise me, praise me more!)

 

I dried the laundry while grinning a little.

I guess I dried hundreds of sheets. Since I dried laundries all other the neighborhood, I would receive a lot of cakes. And it ends with the bigger part…

 

“What’s this…”

“There are clothes flying on top of this house, there must be a reason…”

“Which house?”

 

There was no fortress limit but there were clothes hanged in a lot of wealthy houses, and as much in several commoner houses around. I was told to dry a lot.

Of course, I was encouraged by the reward but… I slapped my cheeks to motivate myself.

 

“Go -! Wind magic!”

 

I shouted. I dried approximately half at once.

 

“More and more wind magic!”

 

Alright, it was all dry, but… I was forced to sit down on the spot, being worn out by the effort.

No wonder, I used wind magic consecutively more than a hundred times.

 

“Liliana-chan is amazing… To be normally tired despite having consecutively used such magic several times … And yet being just a child?”

 

A house owner looked at me, dumbfounded.

At this moment, Leila came over using magic water to fill a cup.

 

“Liliana-sama, here, it is tasty water, please help yourself”

“Thank you”

 

I accepted the water from Leila with a tired face. Hmm, it certainly tasted good.

When drinking water, I breathed a sigh and raised my voice.

 

“Alright, let’s eat cakes-!”

“Huh, are you already okay? Liliana-sama…”

 

Leila was dumbfounded.

 

“After tiredness, there are cakes! The secret behind good health is eating delicious things!”

 

I winked cheerfully and stuffed my cheeks with lots of pastries collected with wind.

Leila, who was looking at this situation, opened her mouth.

 

“I can’t believe you still have magical powers left… You are too great, Liliana-sama”

“Eh, because, isn’t making them float better than carrying them? That way is more efficient”

“What are you talking about?  I can’t use magic at such frequency…”

 

Leila, who was in utter amazement, received apologetically the sponge cake I handed out to her. It was pleasant with its sweetness and the use of good eggs.

It also felt like a real treat to eat and drink the special water of Leila.

 

“Now, let’s go home. It is getting dark.”

“Leila, you are right… Ah, someone is calling”

“Heey, Liliana-chan! There is still laundry that is not dried yet! Can you please help? I will reward you properly”

“Ah, yees! I will do my best!”

“You’re still doing it!?”

 

Leila made a startling face at my words.

Eh? It is because I will receive cakes, you know? Will I do it?

 

“Of course, I’ll do it!”

“I am impressed… Liliana-sama, you are a special person”

“? Why?”

“If you don’t know then…”

“Huh?”

 

I tilted my head to the side and headed towards the house of the person who called me.
