The Incompetent Noblewoman Marries the 'Devil of the Far East' as a Substitute Bride—Told by Her Parents to 'Die in Place of Your Sister,' She Left the House, but Her New Family Turned Out to Be Wonderful and She's Happy - Episode 2.6
Crunch… crunch…
Crunch… crunch…
I hear the sound of something munching. I wake up with a start.
“Huh? You are… Zashiki-warashi?”
A little girl with a bobbed haircut is sitting by the bedside.
This child in a kimono with thread-like eyes is a Zashiki-warashi.
It is a demon within my body, and, well, it’s supposed to be the form of my past life.
“Eh, eh? W-why… here?”
crunch crunch.
Zashiki-warashi is just munching on rice crackers.
Strange… She’s an inner demon.
From inside the mausoleum, I shouldn’t be able to get out…
“Why are you here?”
With a little hop, the Zashiki-warashi approaches and jumps onto my lap.
“I’m tired.”
And, just one word.
“Exhausted…?”
crunch crunch.
“Um, what do you mean…?”
Glancing.
The Zashiki-warashi is giving me a wink over here.
“What is it?”
*momi momi.*
Perform the action of kneading something.
“Do you want me to massage your shoulders?”
gulp.
I am told by my mom to massage her shoulders.
Zashiki-warashi always has slanted eyes, but now they were squinting contentedly.
“Just a little, a stroll. Solo travel.”
“Huh…? A trip?”
“Yeah. Travel.”
What on earth are they talking about?
“Beyond the sea. Terrible people. I couldn’t forgive them. So…”
Shh, shh.
Zashiki-warashi-san throws a punch.
“Uh, um… so?”
“I’m tired.”
It’s not even a conversation… They’re too self-paced.
Could this child really be my past life?
“I. Tired. A little. Rest.”
“Rest?”
“Reiryoku. Chokusetsu. Chuu-chuu.”
To summarize the conversation…
Apparently, Zashiki-warashi had gone somewhere.
So, I used my spiritual power and got tired.
To recover spiritual power, they appeared before me, the spiritual power tank…
“Is that how it is?”
“Comprehension skills. 20 points.”
I wonder if this is correct…
“All of it. I took it all.”
The ominous words are being repeated.
“Um, um… what exactly have you been doing?”
“Secret. Makes. Ah. Woman. Woman.”
“Pl-please, have a conversation with me~”
Conversation is difficult… However, seeing me in a state of confusion, Zashiki-warashi is laughing heartily.
“Rei. Cute.”
“Ah, thank you very much…”
“Rei. Karakai. Nijumaru.”
I wonder if they mean that there’s something to tease about.
That is… well, putting that aside.
“How long does it take for spiritual power to recover?”
“I don’t understand.”
“I see…”
“Wait a moment. Tōryū. Rei. Entertain them.”
“Y-yes, I understand. Well then… shall we have breakfast?”
“Ku-”
It seems you are requesting breakfast.
When I try to stand up, Zashiki-warashi climbs onto my head.
Strangely, it’s not heavy. Well, because it’s a demon… maybe?
“Here. Nagame. Nijumaru.”
“Um, um… it’s dangerous, you know?”
“Go”
The conversation… just isn’t happening…
What a laid-back person they are.
But if you get injured, it would be a big deal.
“It’s dangerous if you fall, so please get down.”
“It’s okay. I won’t fail.”
Since you wouldn’t listen to me no matter what, I’m going to move on as is.
“Oh, Miss Rei. Good morning.”
When I stepped outside the room, Akino Akino, who had been on night duty, greeted me.
“Good morning… ah”
I was in a state where I had a Zashiki-warashi on my head.
There’s a little girl on my head… It’s obviously strange.
“Ah? What’s wrong?”
“Eh? Um… can’t you see it?”
“What is it?”
Can’t see… her? The Zashiki Warashi?
“Yikes!”
Behind Akino Akino, Zashiki-warashi was circling.
I’m stroking her butt.
Suddenly, Akino-san turns around, but Zashiki-warashi-san is not there.
And, it’s sitting on my head.
“Akino. Shiri. Anzangata. Nijumaru.”
Huh, huh?
W-What is this kid doing…?
“Miss. Are you alright!?”
“Eh? W-What…?”
“I just felt the presence of something invisible. It might be a demon!”
Correct. It’s a demon.
They’re laughing hysterically over my head…
“It’s, it’s okay. It’s probably just the wind. Probably.”
If I answer that I’m a demon and get exterminated, it would be pitiful. So… I’ll stay silent.
“Ah, I see… the wind… eek!”
Zashiki-warashi-san is at it again with Akino-san’s butt!
“Nice butt. Softness. Chewy texture.”
Zashiki-warashi-san!
Zashiki-warashi-san laughs merrily, with a cheerful “kerakera.”
Huh?
Is it going to be like this all day today…?
“Here. Good. Fun. Right?”
Um… that’s fine, but please stop playing pranks on the black-suited people.
If you’re going to do it… please do it to me.
“Cold. Shallow. Thin. Boring.”
Your butt doesn’t have any meat on it, so it’s boring to touch… right?
N-no way…
“Eat more. Okay?”
“Yes…”
