Fostering the Male Lead

br>The hair that tickled my cheek was Sihael’s tail.

“Why are you here… Oh, right.”

Just before I could go to bed, Sihael stormed in.
I burst out laughing when I thought of Sihael, who squeezed himself into my bed last night.

“What kind of good dream is he having that his tail can’t stay still?”

The tail swaying constantly from side to side was amazing, so I poked it with my index finger.
As if my touch was annoying, Sihael purred and snorted.

“Cute.”

When I pressed down on his twitching nose, I saw a glimpse of his canine and withdrew my hand.

“Sleep tight.
I’m going out.”

As usual, I spoke to Sihael, then pulled off the blanket and stood up.
As I turned the doorknob, I saw my clothes and rubbed the back of my neck.

‘Don’t go around in your inner garments.
Ok?’

The words of Sihael came to my mind.

‘I don’t think anyone cares about what I’m wearing, but I don’t want to be scolded…’

Muttering to myself, I put on a robe that was sprawling on the sofa.
I quietly closed the door so that Sihael wouldn’t wake up.

Click.

The hallway was cold.
Yesterday it was noisy thanks to Lumiyan and Sihael playing tag, but now it was full of silence.

Feeling spooked by the dreary atmosphere, I tightened my gown around my body.

“Where is Brother?”

In this place where there were no servants, the only way to find a meal was to find Leonard.
While searching the villa for him, I couldn’t find him until I went outside.

Leonard was in the garden with Nanabi.

“There is nothing wrong with the barrier.”

“It will not be good if the barrier breaks through like before, Nanabi.”

“Hmph, I told you it won’t break through again.”

Nanabi, who scoffed fiercely, stretched out her arms.

“Since we have time left, should we go make a wish?”

“You still haven’t given up?”

“No, well, there’s nothing to lose if I lose, right? Do you want to go, too?”

I listened carefully to the conversation between the two.

“As a wizard, how can you believe in such superstition? It’s better to train in the meantime.”

“Who says I believe it? I’m just going because I’m bored.”

I couldn’t stand my curiosity and interrupted the conversation between the two.

“What are you guys talking about?”

When I appeared with eyes sparkling with curiosity, Nanabi was startled and clutched her chest.

“When did you wake up?”

Leonard greeted me calmly, as if he knew I’d come.

“Just now.
I woke up because His Highness kept tickling me with his tail.”

“No wonder you weren’t in your room yesterday.”

Leonard let out a light sigh and shook his head.

“Nanabi, please let me know, too.
What superstition do you believe in?”

“Do you see that mountain? There is a large rock that has been in place for a thousand years, and there is a superstition that if you make a wish on it, any wish will come true.”

Ho? There’s something like that?
