Volume 2, Chapter 7: A Six-Year-Old’s Magnificent Daily Life, Part 1


 

I recently turned six-years-old.

I no longer ride in the laps of men other than Father. Ah… Grandfather is watching.

 

My sixth birthday was not especially unusual.

Held at the castle, Grandfather was sobbing in front of Elea-sama and Grandmother, how embarrassing.

During my debut in the Touru territory, a foolish noble tried to have me engaged to his idiot son, Otsu-san, Vio and Sarah-chan enclosed me and had an aura of [Intimidation] about them.

Timothy-kun was walking in step beside me.

Holding a bouquet of lilies under his arm, he watched Rick who was struggling with it with a lukewarm look.

Shelly was super soft and fluffy.

Sadly, my Elder Sisters never came back, it seems they were scared of me like I was a ghost that rattled their window in the middle of the night.

Honestly, it was a happy birthday party with no problems.

 

***

 

“Yuru… is it seriously okay if me and Vio don’t come…?”

“Yeah… I’ll do my best, Mother.”

Worrying until just before leaving, our departure is seen off by Mother and Granny.

“Bree-chan, at your leisure.”

“Yes, let’s go, Princess-sama.”

 

I was heading towards the inspection of the local provinces, as I promised Father I would.

Of course, I wasn’t alone, since Sarah-chan nominated another 15 escort knights to act as my guards.

Bree-chan, or Bridget, was my escort knight captain, who dedicated her sword along with Sarah-chan in the castle; it’s the nosebleed knight from back then.

Sarah-chan was assuming the [Female] role; Bree-chan was the [Male]. Sometimes, they’d suddenly break out into dance. Scary.

 

Mother is worried since I’ll be out of Vio and Auntie’s reach, so I had to take care. Nothing can be done about it. Not unless they abandon Mother.

So this is it, my role as the [Duke’s Daughter] at last, my [Subordinates], I’ll need to make sure to use them properly.

To say in another way, these four apprentice servants are my companions this time.

 

Why is a demon like me feeling stomach pains…?

 

“ “ “ “ … … … ” ” ” ”

There is no conversation.

In a large carriage, together with the other four, there’s no conversation since I didn’t speak up first.

“Look at the forest.”

Fontaine who can’t read the mood is looking out the window, while the others have no reaction, Christina is reading a book, Noah is fiddling around with a pocket watch, and Ninette is grinning at her sword.

Everyone is so free…

 

But, as a member of middle management, it’s not good for this to continue.

The guard in training Ninette…… might be the easiest to talk to.

“Ninette, is this sword your favorite?”

“ … Eh? Ah, ye-s. This sword is from the amazing weapons shop all the way in the Royal Capital, and even then I could only acquire it when I placed an order in the name of the duke.”

… Hmm? Father allowed that?

Looking with my [Eyes], I can tell that the sword is tinged with magic…

“That is…”

When I begin to speak, Noah the butler apprentice begins to speak over me, covering my voice.

“Princess, the sword of Ninette is an object purely for the protection of your highness. For this reason, considering it was necessary, I placed the order in your name, Yurushia-sama.”

“Princess, thank you vewy much.”

“ … … ”

Ah, these guys are hopeless.

Such a sword is something that only the Holy Kingdom’s knight captains and above would have, you know?? It costs more than ten of year of your salaries, you know?

It can’t be, Noah. That silver pocket watch you have… did that come from me, as well? Did you need it? The money for the watch was used yesterday?

Setting aside the brother-and-sister pair, I looked to the two apprentice maids who were doing their own things.

“Chris… what are you reading?”

“My name is Christina, and I borrowed a book from the library.”

Damn… still won’t accept her nickname… but, that book.

“That book, isn’t it Father’s…?”

“I do not know.”

Isn’t that book usually locked away on its own shelf? .

 

“Fontaine, are you having fun…?”

“Yes? It’s fun. Princess-sama should join me in looking.”

“Y-yeah.”

Seriously, this child is barely able to hold a full conversation. Perhaps if she gets used to her friends, she’ll open up… Aré~?

“You… those shoes.”

“Oh, these? I kept falling in the mansion, these are beautiful.”

 

“ … … ”

Well of course they’re pretty. Those are my shoes from the party.

I see… you kids were that type… I understand now.

 

I walked through the moving carriage, and open the doors.

“Sarah-chan, I want to ride on your horse.”

 

Middle management was impossible for me.

 

 

Those guys, I will absolutely not bring them on my next trip. I will go vigorously on my own.

 

“ … [Let there be Light] … ”

Such stress keeps building up, I activate the magic [Regeneration], the miner’s lost leg is growing back with a burst of shining light…

…… Please, no more, it’s gross.

 

Aaaaaaah~, shouts are coming from the people gathered in front of the noble house.

But, I couldn’t care less about such things.

I’ve already grown back his leg, even his leg hair has come back, so it can’t be helped that it attracts attention.

 

“It can cure baldness…?”

A faint voice leaked out, a few men’s shoulders were slightly trembling.

 

“Th-th-th-th-thank you very much, Saint-sama~!”

Miner uncle, were you scared? I only blanked out for a moment because of stress, you know?

Why is Sarah-chan not with us? You’re my escort, so please stay by my side.

 

“Yu-yurushia-sama, thank you very much.”

The old lord says while coming closer little by little. This person seems to be a vassal of Father, less of a noble and more of a feudal lord.

“No, no. I’m glad to be of help.”

As I put on an awkward smile, I heard sighs of relief from here and there… I’m really sorry.

“Do you have anyone else who is injured…?”

“This was the last of the serious injuries. For the less injured, the local priest took care of them.”

 

Hmm… to relieve stress, I was going to use [Blessed Feast], I thought. Oh well.

Now that I’m done, I feel like watching the [Humans]

The angels of light flew down and danced in the city…

 

“Please make yourself at home in my house today. Folt-sama mentioned that I should tell you this.”

“Thank you very much. So, may I have a look around the city…?”

“Of course Yurushia-sama, I’ll get a guide right away.”

 

I will diligently relieve my stress.

 

“Bree-chan.”

“Yes, Princess-sama!”

Bridget comes running up to me at my call.

Just so you know, I call her “Bree-chan” because it’s same way I call her companion Sarah-chan, definitely not because it’s easy to remember that [Sara(Dish)] goes with [Donburi(Bowl)] (in JP).

Anyways, Bree-chan became sulky if I only called sarah-chan such.

 

I tell them my request.

“I-it’s no good, Princess-sama, it’s too dangerous.”

“I really ca~n’t?”

Since I was declined, I look up at them in a childish way, trying to look cute while [Begging] with my head tilted up.

“Princess-sa- a, fua-”

Bree-chan suddenly crouches while holding her face.

A six-year-old child is begging forcefully. Bree-chan has weak nose membranes.

Just because of my pleading you can’t put out your nosebleed…? Maybe she’s just very hot-blooded.

 

My request was simple and clear, I only want to walk around town without a companion. Since, if I go out at all, those four people come out. My nerves can’t take the full force any more.

Applying [Healing] to Bree-chan over and over, I think that it would be fine to go out with only one person escorting me.

“I’ve decided.”

The winner: Bridget-chan.

It’s a completely fair decision, though to go so far for me is a bit… After selecting from the knights who volunteered, they were chosen one after another; eventually culminating in the fist-fight between Sarah and Bridget that was resolved, and Bridget arrived.

… Though, thinking about it. Did you hit each-other more just so I would use [Healing] on you?

 

“ … W-what is this, Yurushia-sama.”

The lord-uncle was looking wide-eyed at the injured female knights with disheveled clothes.

A boy who looked like a page was next to him… Ah, he was speaking about getting a guide before.

 

“S-saint-sama.”

 

That child… a boy who was a little taller than me, called me so with a bright red face.

Also with the ‘Saint-sama’… The rumor has even reached a child like that, huh.

“ … You…”

“Do you remember? This child was one of the children kidnapped with you during that [Incident].”

“Ah…”

 

Yes, I remember now. That child.

During the second demon summoning incident, he was the dying child whose eyes said he [Wanted to Die].

 

“F-for that time… Thank you very much.”

“Yeah.”

His skinny cheeks had filled out, and his clothes have become better, and he looks happy..

That’s a relief… At that time, he had such a nice [Look] in his eyes.

Well, it can’t be helped. Since I couldn’t allow [That].

 

From his story, he was originally a child of refugees, but after his parents could not be found, Father entrusted him to the custody of a vassal who could afford him.

As expected, Father is wonderful.

 

“I am Noel. I’ve always… wanted to meet you, Saint-sama…”

Oh my, how cute. He’s fidgeting all around.

“This child will do fine, he has the potential to be a mage, and he has a variety of good futures ahead of him.”

Uncle, you’re in the way. Noel has brown mussed hair, and his beautiful tea-green colored pupils were avoiding my stare.

“Saint-sama, today I will guide you through the city.”

“Yup, thanks.”

 

Recently, I’ve become better at human interactions between children, due to all the healing.

Noel is obedient and cute, causing me to show a smile involuntarily. But, will he be calling me “Saint-sama” all day? That would be super embarrassing.

 


Author Notes:

A reunion. Noel-kun is separated from the mob.

 


App Comments:

We now have the introduction of a new knight. She’s probably my favorite human so far, due to x.

 

Also, I haven’t read far enough to call it a spoiler, which means I can muse aloud: It’s interesting that, of the four of Yuru’s fiendish little servants, two of them are twins… That sounds… familiar, somehow… 😉

 

Third, there aren’t many of us uncles in the community, but let’s pour out a drink for our shiny headed comrades who have finally found hope.

 

Finally, the next chapter is a very long one, we have it done and ready, but we’re curious of whether you, the audience, would prefer the entire thing on Wednesday, or for it to be split (it splits nicely at the POV switch) and released on Monday and Friday. Let us know in the comments below.

    Thanks for the new chapter! I’m good with waiting until the full chapter is out.

  2. Loki says:

    The knights let those kids grab ver stuffs? What a bunch of useless bitches

  3. djdreye says:

    Thanks for the chapter! If you mean to release the chapter this Friday and next Monday, that would be best. Otherwise, having a continuous Wednesday schedule would probably be better.

    • App says:

      It would be spaced around the Wednesday. The question is mostly whether y’all would prefer frequency of updates assuming the amount of content over the course of a week does not change.

      • djdreye says:

        If you were to release a single chapter, I would prefer it to be in its uncut state (that is, releasing it all on Wednesday).

        As a followup question, are you returning to a one-chapter a week pace from the two-chapter one you had two months ago? Did the author return the average length of the chapter to that of Volume 1?

        • App says:

          The author has been pretty inconsistent in chapter length, between that and getting used to having a TLC to make the chapters the best they can be, the pace will probably settle into one long chapter or two short chapters each week, depending on whether we get two short chapters in a row soon. (Another long chapter is next)

          To put it in the most specific way possible: my goal has been and will be to get 12 pages of times new roman 12 point font 1.5 spacing done each week, and release rounding down in chapters, always keeping assuming 2 weeks of buffer.

  4. Ruubix says:

    Thanks for the chapter~

  5. rick says:

  7. Joshan says:

  8. Mashiro says:

    Thank you very much for your work~

    My opinion is all at once would be nice, I like being able to read for longer periods, so a long chapter would be wonderful. I would get to sit and ignore everything else and happily read.

  9. steve stevenson says:

    Just do the full thing.

  10. Anonymous says:

    Well if it’s done and ready like you said. Now, would be good?

  11. Lurker-san says:

    Those ex-noble kids are being brats.

  12. AO says:

    These brats are in need of a spanking (-____-)…

  13. Degs says:

    I really really want those idiot kids to be taken care of and stop wasting money
    That’s how reputations are ruined =.=

  14. Framee says:

    Separated from the mob in this novel mean higher chance to die, judt sayin’

  15. dbm says:

    Unless the chapters are so painfully long that they take forever to translate and you want to get something published partway through (Hachinan tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou, I’m looking at you), I’d suggest following the author’s intent and not breaking it up.

    Thanks either way!

  16. Adobo says:

    Such a fluffy chapter…
    Good job keep up the good work.

  17. libraryrocker says:

    I would like the whole chapter at once!!

    Yuru-san… ganbatte!!! You can overcome your communication disorder!!! Also… I think all her servants end up OP???? XD XD

    Thank you very very very much for all your hard work!!!!

  18. Ricecal says:

    Thank you very much

  19. YanYanTDH says:

    I hope those ungrateful fallen Nobel brats learn their place… Who do they think they are spending someone else’s money and using their own master’s things as they please. 😒

  20. Naga says:

    Am I the only one who thinks Bree is a danger to her chastity???

  21. Kurenaro says:

    Thanks for the chapter desu!

    Uhh…. Those four brats… Noel can replace them just right!

  22. SUNOFA says:

    Am I the only one who’s even more curious now about what she did to her sisters?

  23. renuac says:

    Those kids are pretty insufferable so far but it will be interesting to see where it hoes. Poor Yuru, having to watch leg hair grow back…

    Thank you for the chapter. I agree with most people above that having the whole chapter in one go would be nice even if means a longer wait until the chapter after that.

  24. Bhlover says:

    Wednesday…

  25. DOHere says:

    Did someone get the twins reference? If so, let me know please

    And thank you for the chapter!

    • There are four attendants of Yuru’s, and she had 4 adorable “pet” demons before she was summoned. The white monkey, golden snake, and the cinnamon bun fluff ball twins that kinda looked like sheep with horns (probably fluffy sheep?). Though that being said, the chance of them being her pet demons, especially without her noticing that they are demons since her demon senses are especially sensitive to such things (plus why wouldn’t they tell Yuru as such if it was the case, as she is there beloved caretaker/master), is really small considering the difficulty that would be probably be involved. As for time gap, time almost certainly works differently in the demon world (whether faster, slower, both, or neither, there is not enough info to make such a guess) and Yuru’s current world, and perhaps all other worlds as well. That’s the gist of it. Hope they don’t get possessed by her pets as the disappointing children are amusing.

    • App says:

      Since nobody reads the comments this late into the release, I’ll let you know: take a look at v1c2.

  26. Suzy says:

    Not liking her useless kid friends that we’re forced upon her :/

    Full chapters are better. Unless ur releasing 2 chapters a week, that’ll be better!
    But I think u might be meaning a chapter cut in half split into 2 days per week…

  27. Now I know how they became fallen nobles…

    The Bree-chan knight was confirmed as a lolicon. Now missing only to discover which of the two main factions of lolicons it belongs…

    1- [Faction Lolicon of “Criminals”]: most famous, which is bringing together those who are not able to control their desires and ended up tainting and corrupting their estimated lolis
    (The typical a sex offender )

    OR

    2- [Faction Lolicon of “Guardians of Lolis”]:What is less known, one that brings together those who value lolis most of all, who are dedicated and satisfied at: protect, pamper, watch its cuteness, etc…

  28. Kojiro_S says:

    Twins… The pets? 👺
    #LetTheSpeculationBegin

  29. OverlyFriendly says:

    thanks so much for the new chapter!!

  30. Kensei Seraph says:

    Thanks for the chapter.

  31. Mikazuki says:

    Fuullll~ nodesu

  32. Alice says:

    Her servants seem really irritating… like they’re taking advantage of the situation. Why doesn’t the main character speak up more?

  33. The whole new chapter.

  34. Random Internet User (tm) says:

    Thank you kindly for the chapter and the choice!

    All at once would be nice, please. :>

  35. App says:

    Well, seems there’s a unanimous decision, which I didn’t expect. Chunky chapter on Wednesday it is.

  36. YoungMind says:

    Thanks for the chapter !
    I would prefer the next chapter to be released all in one on Wednesday. 😊

  37. 4crosses says:

    is it just me, or keep the chapters becoming shorter and shorter?

  38. Random Angry person by says:

    I hope those kids get spanked. Who the **** takes their masters money and things without even having any permission because of their own will. Like wtf.

  39. anonymousgirl says:

    So.. the child servants are the monkey-demon-snacks… gotcha 😆🤔

  40. loj says:

    is it wrong of me to think that those 4 brats should die?

  41. BlueWing says:

    Reading the spoiler like
    Oh….
    Ohhhh…..
    OHHHHHHHH…

  42. gantono says:

    thanks for chap
    well~ those four are just parasyte

  43. Lost_Panda says:

    Seriously those kids need to understand that they’re slaves not jewels and actually f*cking work. Why are MC’s parents even feeding them considering the fact that they don’t even give the MC a bit of respect and they spend and use whatever the royal family has like their sh*t. Sell the girls to brothels or something and sell the boys organs for some money instead. But clearly it’s not their fault it’s MC’s parent’s fault for spoiling kids who treats their own kid like sh*t. Just torture them so they know that they’re worth nothing now and are just cheap slaves. (Sorry for offensive talk, really angry at the kids and MC for letting slaves treat her like nothing)
