Chapter 116
Chapter 116: Nii-sama is Good
“I don’t need anyone else as a playmate except for Lei!”
Nico felt better, but I was taken home by my worried Otou-sama, so I couldn’t play with him that day . He got a little angry the next day .
“Your Highness . He’s not going to be your playmate . He’s still a student, but he’s going to be your teacher,” Linus said unnecessary things to Nico .
“I don’t need a teacher either! Odds-sensei is annoying enough . ”
Ah, there’s someone else who says unnecessary things here! But, of course, three-year-olds would throw tantrums . And both Odds-sensei and Linus are annoying people .
“Nico, Nii-syama ish a good pershon . ”
“I don’t need a Nii-sama, either!”
“Buth, he’ww read picthure boowsh tho ush . ” (But, he’ll read picture books to us . )
“I can read them myself!”
I see . Then, what would be a good reason for Nii-sama to be here? I thought .
“Nii-syama, wiww give you hugsh . ”
“Hmm, hugs?”
That’s something you can’t do by yourself . This seemed to have moved him . Now, what else?
“And, he’ww pway withh ush . ”
“So he is a playmate after all!”
“He’sh fashth . ” When I said that, Nico looked at me pitifully .
“… Lei can’t run . ”
“Hah? Lei can run! Lei can run thogethher!”
“O-okay . Lei can run . Alright?”
I snorted at Nico, who was flustered . Of course, I can run . I’ve graduated from tottering .

“And, Nii-syama doeshn’th thawe napsh . ” (And, Nii-sama doesn’t take naps . )
“Lei sleeps too much . ”
“Sweeping meansh growing!”
It was a bit frustrating that Nico’s eyes seemed to be saying that I’m still small even though I sleep a lot . No, I shouldn’t stoop to a child’s level . Stay calm . Appeal Nii-sama’s good points .
“He’sh awsho good ath thhe shword . ”
“Sword, you say?”
Nico folded his arms as if that was alright . Apparently, one can fold their arms when they reach three-years-old . I secretly tried to fold my arms . I can’t do it .
“Buffo . ”
I’m sure that’s Hans .
“Listen carefully, Your Highness and Leilsama . Luke-sama will be coming to teach you how to handle your magic . He’s not coming here to play . ”
I know that . I know, but we’re talking about how Nii-sama can take a break between teaching us, aren’t we? Nico and I looked at each other and sighed in amazement .
“Linus, no good . ”
“No . ”
Linus looked stunned for a second, then spoke, “Your Highness and Leilsama, what is no, huh? No?”
“Nico . ”
“Yeah, let’s go . ”
We left Linus and went up to the second floor . Nico was a little ahead of me because his legs were longer . It’s not because I couldn’t run . But, I’m troubled that the adults are dull-witted .
“Huh? What’s no? Was it about Luke-sama? Huh?”
Well, it’s time to study . Finish it as soon as possible, so we can go outside to play .
I thought Nii-sama was going to come in the morning, but he came in the afternoon after we’d finished with lunch . Also, he only came once a week, so he taught Nico over dinner since he won’t be here for a while .

“No way . ”
“Lei?”
I’ll fall asleep if we practice magic after lunch . That’s boring . I tried to tell Nii-sama this, and he cautioned me while looking happy, “Lei, don’t swing the fork . That’s right . ”
“Either way, you have to study in the morning, and you won’t be able to concentrate if I’m there . ”
“Hmph . ”
“Don’t pout . Nii-sama has to study in the mornings too . ”
I know .
But, I had been waiting for Nii-sama to come and he was finally here .
After lunch, I went out with Nico to the garden, and we saw a carriage .
“Isn’t that the Lisburn’s carriage?”
“Nico, you know?”
“Yeah . Because of the pattern on the carriage . ”
“Amazing . ”
I looked at Nico in admiration .
“You’ll learn about it someday, Lei . ”
“Weww, I don’th wnow . ”
I don’t really feel that it’s necessary .
“Then, shall we add that to the morning studies?”
“No . ”
Linus says a lot of things . Before long, the carriage slowly stopped . Nii-sama is coming . Both Nico and I were waiting in excitement .

“Hey, Lei . ”
“Giww?”
But, the person who descended was Gill .
“Where’sh Nii-syama?”
“Lei, you’re so cold even though we haven’t seen each other in a long time . You can call me Gill-niisama . ”
“Won’th . ”
He’s a little annoying . But, I didn’t have time to say that, because Nii-sama got off the carriage .
“Nii-syama!”
“Lei,” Nii-sama called out to me happily, then he tightened his expression and immediately turned to Nico . Gill, who was joking around, also looked at Nico .
“Your Highness, Nicholas . I am Luke Albans . ”
“My name is Gilbert Lisburn . ”
“Hmm . I’m the eldest son of Lambert, Nicholas Manfred Kingdom . ”
As expected of Nii-sama . He was able to say hello .
“We’re equal . Father said you didn’t need to kneel . ”
Nico was also pretty good .
“We wanted to make eye contact with you . ”
Nii-sama narrowed his eyes gently . The first impression seems to be good so far .
“Then, up . ”
Nico reached out to Nii-sama .
“Hah? What?”
Nii-sama was confused, and I stood behind Nico . Nii-sama usually hugs me first, but I’ll give this to Nico since it’s his first time .
“Huh? Lei, why are you lining up behind him? What the heck is going on?”
“I heard that you were good . I’m telling you to pick me, aren’t I?”
“Eh, okay . ”
Nii-sama didn’t know what was going on, but he probably concluded that the Prince wanted to be picked up from the words he heard . He picked Nico and put him on his hips . Then, he said in a surprised tone, “Your Highness, you’re a little bigger than Lei . ”
“Of course, I am . Isn’t Lei too small?” Nico said anxiously to Nii-sama . Rude . And, Gill, who was laughing is also rude .
“Lei is younger than Your Highness . It’s the same as me being smaller than Gill . ”
“Hm . Lisburn is certainly big . ”
Gill took Nico from Nii-sama .
“Oh, you’re not as big as father, but you’re big, Gill . ”
“Well, isn’t that normal? Here . ”
“Hahaha! How high! Haha . ”
Nico looked happy to be raised high . I got Nii-sama to hold me next .
“Nii-syama . ”
“What is it, Lei?”
It’s nothing . The two of us laughed . Then, we heard the bell ring .
“Now, you two didn’t come here to play, Luke-sama and Gilbert-sama . It’s time for His Highness to study . ”
That’s right . He has to study magic diligently . Let’s go inside the castle first .
