Chapter 87
Chapter 87: I am Me
“Hmph, baskets are a hassle, but it’s much better than riding a dragon . Leilsama, do you like Wester?”
I didn’t feel the need to answer, so I pretended that I couldn’t understand him .
“At any rate, whether it be Luke-sama, or Leilsama, the Four Marquises are clad in gorgeous colours . How about it, Leilsama? I have a grandson around your age . ”
I didn’t feel the need to answer . It’s bothersome for you to talk about boys to a one-year-old infant . I took a whistle out from the pocket of the Rug Dragon on my shoulders .
“What is that dirty stuffed animal? Well, I still have five grandchildren . ”
“Puu . ”
“They look like me and are handsome . ”
“Puu, puu . ”
“Kyee,” the Rug Dragon matched his voice with my whistle . They also sped up .
“Smart . ”
“Puu, puu . ”
“Kyee . ”
“Ah . ”
The tanuki took my whistle .
“Gib bacw . ” (Give back . )
“Ill-bred children don’t listen to what others say . ”
I wanted to say that taking a child’s things makes you a lousy adult, but I didn’t want to talk to him much . I turned away and took another whistle out from the Rug Dragon’s pocket .
“Puu . ”
“What?! You still had more?!”
I didn’t feel the need to answer . I turned my back to him .
“Puu, puu . ”
“Kyee . ”
“Leilsama!”

“Puu . ”
Dance, Rug Dragon, dance . Be happy and speed up .
“Kyee!”
“Puu, puu . ”
“Kyee!”
“Kyee!”
“Why are the Rug Dragons running so fast!? Because of this whistle?! Leilsama, stop it . ”
“Puu . ”
“Kyee!”
“Ah . ”
He took my whistle again . What’s with this adult? I took out another whistle .
“Ah!”
“It’s this stuffed animal, isn’t it? Jeez . ”
Herman didn’t just take my whistles, but my Rug Dragon as well .
“Gib bacw!”
“You don’t need a stuffed animal with bad stuff inside . Such a dirty item doesn’t look good with those pretty clothes,” Herman said as he quickly opened the side of the basket and threw my Rug Dragon away . He chucked my Rug Dragon .
“Jeez, listen . People of high-status…”
I interrupted the tanuki and screamed, “Dragwon!”
“Kyee?”
“Sthop!”
“Kyee . ”
The Rug Dragon was puzzled for a moment and quietly stopped .
“Leila, what’s wrong?” Huu immediately came . I’m sure he should have seen what had happened .

“Down . ”
“But…”
“Picw up dragwon . ”
The Prince looked at my face, and looked at Herman in amazement .
“You… What did you do, Herman?”
“What? I just threw away a dirty stuffed animal . ”
“So it was Lei’s bag that fell?!”
“Huu . Down . ”
The Prince got off his dragon and took me out of the basket .
“Even if she’s from the Four Marquises, to use a Prince…” I heard a voice from behind me, but I didn’t feel the need to answer .
We hadn’t proceeded that much since the stuffed animal was thrown away . I slowly returned in the direction that we came from and looked for my stuffed animal . It’s been with me ever since Lentforce . I was able to get along with everyone because I had it . Sometimes, it even saved my life . It’s not dirty . It’s important .
“Here . ”
A pink Rug Dragon entered my sight as I was looking down .
“Awishthair . ”
“I picked it up right away, so it’s not dirty . ”
“Ai . ”
I hugged the stuffed animal tightly .
“Ai . Thanwsh . ”
I looked up at Alistair . The stuffed animal was certainly not dirty . But, Alistair’s glittery embroidered clothes were dirty behind his thighs, and his hands were dirty . He must have rubbed his face with those hands, since his face also had a little mud on it .
He probably got off the Rug Dragon quickly so that he could pick up the stuffed animal immediately after it was thrown . That’s why he slipped and fell and got dirty .
Weren’t you happy about meeting your Nii-sama? Didn’t you want to look as cute as possible when meeting him, even though you were saying you didn’t like it and that it was troublesome?
But, I spent the last six months in Wester . I wore normal clothes with my Wester associates and worked properly . Well, I also built blocks . The Albans Leila is also the Wester Leila .
Isn’t it fine to show Nii-sama this? I was confused by the tanuki who had suddenly appeared and said I had to be like a Four Marquis .

I looked at Alistair, took the ribbon off my hair and threw it away . It blew in the prairie, and my blonde hair immediately got messy .
“Lei, you…”
Next, I have to take off my clothes . I couldn’t . I couldn’t remove the buttons .
“Unbuththon buththon, Awishthair . ” (Unbutton button, Alistair . )
“Lei . ”
“Unbuththon . ”
Alistair reluctantly unbuttoned my buttons . I took off my clothes, sat down, and took off my frilly socks . And I was finally in my underwear . I wore my stuffed animal again, turned around and crossed my arms .
“Thish ish fine . Lei ride on dragwon by hershewf . ” (This is fine . Lei ride on dragon by herself . )
“Bufo . ”
“Kyaro!”
“So-sorry . You can’t cross your arms properly . ”
It’s not funny . I heard a rustling noise behind me, and Alistair stood next to me . He had taken off his jacket and shirt and was only wearing his singlet . He folded his arms .
“I can’t take off my pants . ”
“Thath’sh importhanth . ”
“Right?”
“Bufo . ” I heard this from the guards .
“How savage…” The tanuki was shivering .
“It’s more barbaric to suddenly throw away a baby’s toy, right? Jeez . ” Bart shrugged . Dory quickly rushed over with her luggage .
“Now, this is the clothing you have worn up until now,” she said, and dressed me in my usual clothes . Alistair was also given clothes, and he wore them .
When I got dressed, I briskly walked to where Herman was . The servants who were riding in the imperial carriage peeked out to look .
“Oh my, it’s so cute how you’re tottering . ”
“Noth thoththering!” It’s important, so I corrected him .
“Yes, you’re right . You’re walking briskly . ”
“Ai . ” I nodded and stopped .
“Hewman . ”
“Wh-what is it, Leilsama?”
“Dragwon importhanth . ”
“But it’s dirty . ”
“Importhanth . ”
“Hah . ”
He might have given up because it was useless for him to say anything else . I pushed once more, “Lei ish Lei . Niini wiww undershthand eithher way . ” (Lei is Lei . Niini will understand either way . )
“Hah . ”
“Don’th need beauthifuw cwothhesh . ” (Don’t need beautiful clothes . )
“But . ”
“Don’th need . ”
“… Okay . ”
I turned to the Prince .
“Huu . ”
“What?”
“Ride dragwon . Leave shthraighth away . ”
“Understood . ”
Clyde came straight away and put me into a Rug Dragon basket alone .
“Well done . You did well . ”
“Ai . ”
I am me . I won’t lose to a tanuki .
