While I was busy raising Axion’s children, I also tried to find a way to prevent Axion from being assimilated into a demon dragon.
‘uh? Come to think of it… … .’
Then the contents of the original came to mind.
‘I think the necklace Vanilla later got weakened the demon dragon’s power.’
Axion, who had been tormenting Vanilla in the name of love, came to truly love her through an incident, and Vanilla also fell in love with him… … .
‘At that time, the necklace will temporarily cut off the demon dragon’s power.’
However, in the original story, where they are running through poverty after poverty, misunderstandings arise again between the two, and the necklace is shattered.
‘So, Vanilla is the key to cut off the power of the Demon Dragon.’
And one of the reasons why Vanilla was rationally attracted to Axion. The vast knowledge he acquired from a young age to survive rolling in the mud.
When he realized that he was a frog in a well, even though he had grown up well, his curiosity about him sprouted.
‘however… … .’
Doesn’t Axion have any chance of rolling on the floor now? I’m planning to raise gold and jade to avoid going down the terrible route!
‘It can’t be like this. Like this… … .’
Even if Axion avoids the terrible route that will take him around seven years, if he cannot solve the demon dragon, his life will ultimately be limited.
‘Axion, who holds the Demon Dragon’s Dragon Heart, may appear to be an ordinary baby on the outside, but he grows up retaining all of his current memories.’
So, if you start accumulating knowledge from now on, wouldn’t you naturally accumulate more knowledge than vanilla… … ?
‘Let’s at least give it a try.’
The next day, after returning from an early morning Mom Cafe meeting, I headed to Axion’s playroom as usual.
While I played with Axion for a while, Carl took a seat next to me and did his hobby of sewing.
I looked at him and hinted.
“knife. “Let’s find a tutor.”
“yes? A tutor. Do you feel like you want to get a proper education now?”
“ok?”
Carl put down what he was sewing and looked at me with wide eyes.
From what I remember, Celia is a person who graduated from the Academy with distinction, even though she is a farming fanatic.
What does that mean?
“me? “What kind of education are you talking about?”
“Etiquette education! When she was young, she had the famous teacher of etiquette, Miss Angela, who left her mansion to teach the young lady her crane. After that, all the teachers the owner brought in also cried and ran out. “I’m sure you haven’t already forgotten, right?”
“…….”
Looking back on my memories, it seems like that happened once.
Why on earth is this body so unique?
I sighed and shook my head.
“remember. However, it was not my etiquette training. “I’m talking about Axion, Axion!”
“… … “Axion?”
Cal tilted his head and saw Axion in my arms.
Axion, who was cackling and playing with my hair, was fast asleep.
“Axion, you are already perfect, so what kind of tutor are you? miss. haha. “It’s a joke, too.”
It’s clearly a compliment to my child, but why does it feel like they’re criticizing me?
I pursed my lips and slumped my shoulders.
“I heard that another family’s child is already getting a tutor, wow. “I’m worried that Axion will fall behind like this.”
To be exact, to Yeoju Vanilla!
Carl seemed to be thinking of taking my sighing words a little seriously. “Uhmmm.” He looked worried.
“If I meet someone my age later and get ignored… … . “My heart will be torn from pain.”
“Ignore it! How could I ignore the cute Axion!”
Carl shouted, holding tightly onto the piece of cloth he was sewing.
I thought to myself, ‘Oh my. ‘There’s no way you don’t know what’s going on in the world.’ He made a face and clicked his tongue.
“How scary are the kids these days? Didn’t you see it in the newspaper last time? “The kids who are just about to enter the academy secretly drove their parents’ carriage and caused an accident?”
“oh my god. really?”
It’s false.
“Well then!” Kids are so scary these days. How cruel can kids be among their peers? “This is the animal kingdom.”
“… … The animal kingdom? “What country was that in?”
Karl blinked and looked very innocent.
Grandpa Carl, what if you are so good at believing what others say? I’m really worried about what it’s like outside the mansion.
“That’s not important now. Axion’s tutor. “This is important.”
“Umm. “After hearing it, it seems like that.”
When I finally saw Carl nodding his head, I was inwardly delighted. good. I came over.
“okay. So let’s hire a tutor.”
When my brother, Viscount Evanroir, was away, I became the owner of the house, but Carl was in charge of the actual management.
Perhaps my younger brother, who is a farming fanatic, did not trust me so I left it to him.
Of course, even if he was running the operation, the decision-making authority was mine, so all I had to do was give him one command.
But Celia was like family to him, and I didn’t want to do that to him, who was as old as my grandfather.
“… … That’s right. But there is a problem. miss.”
Carl looked a little dark and looked at me blankly.
“problem? “What’s the problem?”
He hesitated a little, then sighed softly and said.
“I do not have money.”
“… … huh?”
“I don’t have enough time to call a tutor. “After we take care of all the people in our mansion, there is no money left.”
Ugh?
I almost jumped up without even realizing it.
I strained the arm holding Axion and sweated profusely.
“for a moment. Why don’t I have money? “The field is that big and there’s a lot of land, right?”
“… … It was purchased with an inheritance left by the owner. Since you are not doing any economic activities, of course you have no external income. “We barely make a living from taxes collected from the estate.”
“No, what is Sylvester doing all this time? Isn’t there money that Sylvester made? “I’m a professor at the Imperial Academy, but I still make a lot of money, right?”
Sylvester was this body’s older brother’s name.
I don’t remember what my major was, but I was a professor at the Imperial Academy. He was the head of Viscount Evan Roar, a family of scholars for generations.
He was currently away, saying he was doing some research.
Carl sighed heavily.
“Of course I can’t spend that money.”
“what? why?”
“When Sylvester left the mansion, he made a special request.”
“… … what?”
Then Carl secretly looked away.
“Don’t let anyone touch anything other than the property allocated to you, Celia.”
“…….”
“This is probably because in the past, Celia used the family money to buy all kinds of crop seeds. “I heard then that the blow was enormous for her.”
Well, that can’t be possible.
“So, if I hire a tutor using Celia’s money, my household account balance will go into negative territory from then on. “Already, the price of powdered milk and diapers for Axion is no joke.”
He cast his gaze into the distance with a tired look.
The sewing material in his hand suddenly caught my eye.
Uh, since when did Carl have a hobby of sewing? … ?
“I didn’t want to worry the young lady, so I’ve been holding on, but I guess I can’t help it. phew.”
“Ugh… … .”
Looking at the hard work of life filled with Karl’s face, I suffered from a tingling sensation in my heart.
“What about the rice you harvested last time? “It wasn’t profitable at all?”
“yes? “Is that unidentified yellow thing growing in the field over there a plant called rice?”
huh?
“I did not know?”
“I didn’t know. It was two years ago when the young lady suddenly said that it was a new seed and that she was researching it. “Aren’t you still thinking about what to use her for?”
what. what is this sound.
“But it’s really amazing. In the first year, even though you worked so hard to raise them, looking at a book you brought from somewhere, you almost killed them all. “The next year, as if the person had suddenly changed, didn’t you grow a plant called rice?”
“…….”
I was dumbfounded as I saw Carl nodding his head as if he was very curious.
Wait, the next year was when I came into possession of this body.
So, until then, Celia didn’t know how to grow rice?
“Then I raised it, right?”
“yes?”
“Oh, no.”
I think my posture was uncomfortable, perhaps because I had received shocks from before.
“Yiing.”
Axion wriggled his body and tried to whine.
“Let’s talk about it later.”
“All right.”
After quickly soothing the child and putting him to bed in the bedroom, I also lay down on the bed next to him.
Carl headed to his room to finish sewing.
I was lying on the bed and blinking.
“therefore… … .”
Celia gained knowledge about rice farming by reading books, and I grew up in a place where rice was the staple food and had experience helping my grandmother with rice farming.
“In the end, the two came together and the result came out.”
However, the harvested rice was just piled up in the warehouse.
Then, it was clear that they still didn’t know what to do with these rice plants.
“You can make money with this, right?”
I lay down on the bed and muttered.
Then, he can call a tutor, and Axion won’t be ignored by the female protagonist, Vanilla.
If that happens, there will be no need to take the terrible route. Moreover, by now it would have been about as described in the original work. If you timed it right, it was a hit.
Yes, it was the perfect plan.
* * *
However, contrary to my expectations, finding someone to buy those rice plants was not as easy as I thought.
“I heard this makes very good food?”
“So, why would you eat something you’ve never seen before? “What should I do if something happens after eating it?”
Elston, who was watching Axion waddling away in fascination, responded to my words indifferently.
“Ugh.”
I was thinking of selling it to the magic tower.
Elston had the same reaction as other food businesses.
You can’t just blindly buy the first thing you see. What do you believe in to take on such a challenge?
Everyone answered like that and didn’t even notice.
‘I heard that there was a food shortage in the past.’
The staple food here was called miar. Miar, which has a similar appearance and characteristics to wheat, was a crop that grew well wherever it was sown.
Thanks to this, the empire enjoyed abundant food and developed.
Then one day, a problem suddenly arose with the Miar harvest. That was the beginning of the food crisis.
In the original work, it was also the setting in which Axion experienced all sorts of hardships from a very young age. By that time, wherever he went, people were harsh.
‘Isn’t it time yet?’
I was sullen, wondering if I had caught the wrong time, but Elston, who glanced at me, rolled his eyes and said,
“So, I went to the Duke of Siaster’s house, didn’t I?”
Oh right.
I decided to find out about Vanilla’s subjects and teachers.
What do you do when you find out? Our Axion wouldn’t even be able to learn. Sobbing.
Elston looked embarrassed after seeing his shoulders drooping even more and his face looking gloomy.
Then he spoke hastily.
“Duke Dazar shared his concerns. I need food. “New food.”
“… … yes?”
“I was asked if I could develop new food at the Magic Tower, and I said I would think about it… … .”
also!
That’s right! According to my memory, around now!
“Elston!”
I ran to him step by step, my eyes shining as if I was looking at a lifesaver.
He shouted, grabbing the two dry hands that were lying around randomly.
“Please introduce me to the Duke!”
“Hey. W, young lady. It hurts. sick!”
I feel like my hand bones are going to crumble… … .
Elston’s voice gradually became quieter and he collapsed.
This guy like a sunfish… … .
