It should be said that it is no surprise, Rena has not yet made a statement on Lilith's words, and Frey has already won with the noisy and coquettish offensive characteristic of children.

Eventually, Lilith was able to live in Frey's house, and the work she needed to do was very simple, or rather very easy, that is, to play with Frey. The young dean was really a little scary, or a little "deceitful", and Lilith naturally had no reason to leave.

"Well, I'm a maid then. ”

After a little bit of a make-up for herself in a maid's outfit, Lilith suddenly felt a little flinching.

If you really wear that outfit, you must still wear it out and show off with Frey everywhere.

"It's not the first time I've worn it, though...... Okay, okay Frey, don't be so excited to hand it to me......"

Even at the age of five, Frey seemed to understand the meaning of the maid, and soon ran out of the room with a pile of various clothes.

"Sister, you're wearing it!"

...... How can you wear it, even after a few hundred years, you won't be able to wear your clothes.

"I'll get the clothes right away. ”

Rena smiled and sorted out all the clothes that Frey had brought out, she had just "finished" her work, and she still had the unique smell of metal that would be left behind after alchemy. However, it seems that Frey has long been accustomed to this strange smell, and is still very dependent on holding Rena, and keeps rubbing her face on her clothes.

"Mom's smell is different today. ”

"Ah, that's because...... Frey. Mom said it a few times! Don't rub your face against Mom's clothes. ”

Rena, realizing something, hurriedly pushed Frey away. But because of too much tension in the relationship. Frey, who hadn't yet stood still, was pushed to the ground.

“......”

Frey sat on the floor with surprise and bewilderment on her face, and before Rena could apologize, Frey realized what had happened, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes as if they had broken a thread.

There was no crying sound, but Lilith knew why, and Frey was afraid that it was not the first time she had done this, because she couldn't disturb her mother's work. So you can't cry out loud...... But it is precisely because of this that Lilith feels even more worried.

"Alright, Frey, will my sister take you out to play?" Lilith picked up Frey, who was sitting on the ground and was crying, and gestured to Rena with her eyes.

Fortunately, the latter was not stupid, and after hurriedly handing Lilith a money bag, he immediately disappeared into the depths of the stairs.

This is obviously not the first time this has happened, so it is better to comfort Frey when she is crying and not listening to anything, rather than wait until Frey calms down. No matter how calmly I apologize, I believe Aunt Rena thinks the same way.

So now it's my own task. It's to take Frey outside for a spin and use some of Frey's favorite things to calm her down a little, after all, Frey is still a child, and it's still easy to coax.

When Lilith coaxed Frey a little enough to go out, it was already sunset time outside, and the children who had breakfast and dinner were playing in groups on the street, although she didn't want to admit it, Lilith still found that the location of Frey's house was too remote, a lonely manor, and there was no neighboring family around.

"Because it's a witch......

Lilith muttered softly and looked at Frey in her arms.

The little one seemed to have stopped crying, but the dull eyes and the tears hanging from the corners of the eyes still made Lilith feel very uncomfortable, in Lilith's impression, the dean had never shown such an expression, but now Lilith felt that it was not new, but hoped that she would never show such a look.

"Frey, Mom must be too tired from 'work', so let's go buy a cake for Mom to eat, okay?"

"Hmm. ”

It took a while for Frey, who was holding Lilith by the neck, to her senses, but to Lilith's surprise, it seemed that she no longer felt sad about what had happened, but jumped out of Lilith's arms, took Lilith's hand and ran.

"Sister Alice, Mom's favorite thing is not cake, it's juice? ”

"That's right. ”

Lilith nodded, if you think about it like this, it will probably not be a "juice", with Rena's character, if it is something that can be eaten, she will definitely not give it to Frei, Rena loves Frei very much, even if Lilith has only known her for a while, she can be completely determined.

As for the "juice" that couldn't be given to Frey, it was probably the liquid in the bottles and jars that the alchemists had concocted themselves.

"Then I'll buy it. ”

Lilith had no reason not to go with Frey, even though she knew that the "juice" that Frei wanted to buy was certainly not the kind of juice that Rena had in her mouth, but Lilith believed that Rena would be very happy.

An enviable mother-daughter relationship. Lilith thought with some envy, in Lilith's impression, Dean Frey had long since lost any family, and she couldn't imagine what kind of expression Frey had when the dean's mother who loved her so much was when she was about to leave her......

Also, why didn't Frey mention astrology at all at this time?

"Look! the little witch is out!"

Ay?

"Really! It's not the old witch who came out with the little witch today!"

Since Lilith wasn't walking with Frey, she wasn't attacked by the discordant voice.

A group of children, most of whom Frey said, said that Rena was the children of the "old witch", and it seemed that there were quite a few of them. Although they are not wrong, but ......

Even if the innocence of those who don't know is true, if they are laughing at the dean, Lilith has no reason to ignore it.

She is a student of the dean, and now, she is also her "sister".

"Frey. Come here. ”

At this time, both sides of the road. This made Lilith very unhappy. The little child, who had risen to the point of anger, had already begun to pick up stones on the ground and threw them at Frey. At Lilith's shout, Frey, whose face once again became sad, ran behind Lilith, clutching the corners of Lilith's clothes with both hands.

"Mom is not a witch......"

Dean......

"Well, Frey's mother is not a witch. ”

Lilith touched Frey's drooping head, and even though she was besieged by so many people, Frey kept repeating the words.

In the eyes of adults. It's bullying and playfulness between children, but it's already a war for Frey, a five-year-old child.

Dean, no, it's Frey, you've done enough, so I'll leave it to my sister.

Lilith didn't even pay any attention to the stones that had been thrown at her and the sound of taunts, stones, let alone stones. Even if it was a sword that flew over, it wouldn't touch Lilith at all.

As for the words of mockery. A child who doesn't understand what others are thinking or doing, despite their innocence, can be forgiven if they are just ignorant and can be forgiven, then who can sympathize with Frey?

"Frey's mother is a very powerful person. Lilith crouched down, "Frey has to keep this in mind, and Frey doesn't need to be friends with these people who scold her mother, you know?"

“...... Hmmm!"

With tears in her eyes again, Frey only cared about burrowing into Lilith's arms, and even forgot to wonder why none of the stones had hit her.

"And Frey, look up and take a good look. ”

Lilith's hand slowly opened, "These people who scolded Frey's mother for being a witch will be punished, don't you believe you look at that bald child?"

"Ouch, ouch, my stomach hurts......"

The child, who threw the most stones, immediately fell to the ground and began to roll around with his stomach in his hands.

This is just the mental effect that Lilith used casually on the children who have no ability to resist, in fact, his stomach is very good. But in Frey's opinion, it had become a fact that she believed.

Anyone who scolds her mother will be punished.

Frey's face was undisguised with surprise, Lilith knew that the children were innocent, and it was their parents who really taught them this, but ......

I can't explain this to Frey, all I can do is to protect this five-year-old Frei, her own dean, and not let her feel sad because of these things.

"Sister......

"Hehe, look at that kid again. ”

Lilith gestured, and the other child looked as if he had slipped for unknown reasons.

Immediately after that, the second, the third......

Where Frey looked, the children who had been bullying her just now had all been punished slightly.

"Frey, do you see?"

Lilith stood up, "That's the punishment for the bad boy that Mommy is an old witch, Frey, do you believe it now?"

"Hmm...... Hmmm!"

Frey's face finally smiled, and the strange thing that happened would have scared anyone, let alone these children.

"Run, the old witch has done sorcery!"

I don't know which of the children who fell shouted, and all the children who were still bullying Frey just now scattered around like wild dogs that had encountered a lion.

"Mom is not a witch!"

Frey frowned at the kid who had just shouted, "You're going to be punished!"

Punishment...... Well, then let yourself do it again......

"Ouch......"

As if suddenly stepping on the air, the child who had just shouted "Old witch uses witchcraft" fell to the ground face to the ground in a very funny position, but this was not ......

"Frey ......"

Lilith looked puzzled as she watched the expression on Frey's face soften.

What I just did was not done by myself, but ...... The kid did fall.

Is it a coincidence? Or is it ......? (To be continued......)
