When the medicine was applied, Nagato felt a sharp sting, but in order not to worry her mother, Nagato bravely endured it without uttering a single sound.
"Nagato, if it hurts, just cry out. It will make you feel a little better," Fielan advised, seeing Nagato's expression of endurance.
"It doesn't hurt at all. After applying this medicine, I believe I'll be fine very soon, Mama, don't worry," Nagato said softly, feigning nonchalance.
"Sigh! You are just so stubborn. It's really okay to act spoiled in front of your mother," Fielan said with a sigh.
"No, if I always act spoiled, I'll never grow up. I need to grow up quickly so I can protect you, Mama. Also, Mama, I'm sorry. I didn't make any friends again today, even though I promised you I definitely would," Nagato said, feeling a little sad and disappointed.
"Oh, you! Don't be sad. Mama won't blame you. In fact, even if those naughty children in the village bully you, don't lose heart. Mama believes that a child as cute, gentle, and strong as Nagato will definitely find true friends in the future," Fielan said comfortingly.
"Really? But I look like a Beastkin, with two fox ears. Even so, will someone still be my friend?" Nagato asked, somewhat disbelievingly.
Fielan stroked Nagato and said, "Of course it's true. Mama actually thinks these ears are very cute. It's just that the villagers have poor taste and don't appreciate them."
After speaking, Fielan even used her hand to touch Nagato's soft and bouncy ears, causing Nagato's face to flush red. She slapped Fielan's hand away and said angrily, "Don't touch my ears! They're sensitive."
"Yes, yes! Alright, you must be hungry now! Mama made your favorite Mushroom Fried Meat today. Make sure you eat every last bit!" Fielan said happily to Nagato.
"Really? That's great." Nagato immediately smiled happily when she heard it was her favorite Mushroom Fried Meat.
Nagato walked to the dining table, looking at the Mushroom Fried Meat her mother served. Starving, she drooled. After waiting for her mother to sit down, she shouted, "I'm digging in!"
Just as Nagato was about to start eating with her spoon, she heard a knock at the door. Nagato heard it and was about to get up to open the door, but Fielan beat her to it.
Who on earth is it?! How dare they interrupt my daughter's mealtime! She's already starving, and they choose to knock now of all times, neither early nor late.
When she opened the door, she wanted to scold them, but the words caught in her throat because standing opposite her was a pair of cute, silver-haired lolis, though they looked a bit dirty, like refugees.
The smaller loli with a side ponytail was hiding behind the slightly larger loli. Her timid appearance suggested she was afraid of strangers. Because the pair of lolis was so adorable and cute, Fielan couldn't bring herself to scold them. "Is there something you need, knocking on my door?"
"Hello, Elder Sister. My name is Illustrious, and this is my little sister, Aircraft Carrier. May we stay here for a few days? Of course, we won't stay for free; we will pay you," Illustrious said in a sweet, childish voice.
"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Fielan. Where are you from? And where are your parents? Besides, judging by your appearance, you don't look like you have money," Fielan asked.
"Elder Sister, to be honest, our homeland is the destroyed Kingdom of Logrand. Our parents died during the escape, and we were captured by enemy soldiers and made prisoners. We were even sold to a slave merchant, but we escaped due to an accident while being transported to Kalinir City. As for money, don't worry, I have some on me."
Illustrious pulled out a Gold Coin from her body. Illustrious wasn't afraid that this Elder Sister would steal her Gold Coin because her sixth sense told her that this sister wasn't a bad person, so she didn't need to worry.
"So that's what happened! You poor children! You've suffered. Don't worry, Elder Sister doesn't want your money. If you want to stay, you can stay anytime. Treat this place as your home; staying long-term is fine!" Fielan squatted down and said softly, hugging the two lolis.
"Really? Thank you so much, Elder Sister! That's wonderful, Aircraft Carrier, we have a place to stay!" Illustrious said happily.
Just then, Aircraft Carrier's stomach suddenly rumbled. Hearing this sound, Fielan knew that the two of them must not have eaten dinner. She smiled and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? My daughter and I are just about to have dinner. Why don't you join us?"
"We apologize for the intrusion," Illustrious said, bowing in thanks.
"It's alright! Don't be so polite. Just treat this place like your own home," Fielan said gently.
Fielan brought Illustrious and Aircraft Carrier into the house and introduced them to Nagato, explaining their situation. After hearing the story of the two sisters, Nagato sympathized greatly with their plight and welcomed them to stay in her home.
After the four of them finished eating, since the two sisters were very dirty, and luckily their figures were similar to Nagato's, Fielan took out two sets of Nagato's clothes and gave them to Illustrious, advising girls to keep clean, and urged the two sisters to quickly take a bath and change into the clothes.
After Illustrious helped Aircraft Carrier undress, they entered the bathtub together to soak. The steaming hot water allowed Illustrious and Aircraft Carrier's exhausted bodies to relax.
The two sisters were incredibly lucky today; it was as if the creation goddess was watching over them. Not only did they escape the slave merchant, but shortly after fleeing, they walked out of the forest and saw a small village. Being able to take a comfortable bath now felt like a dream, especially since they were locked in a Caged Carriage just yesterday.
"Hello, may I take a bath with you?" Nagato said softly, slowly opening the bathroom door while naked and peeking her little head in.
"Of course, that's fine. After all, this is your house. We're lucky you don't mind us intruding," Illustrious said, smiling as she invited Nagato.
That's right! This is clearly my house, why am I being so polite to them? Realizing this, Nagato opened the door without hesitation and walked in. After entering, she slowly closed the door and came to the bathtub, submerging her small and lovely body completely into the water.
"Ah, this feels so good!" Nagato exclaimed comfortably while soaking in the bathtub.
"Um, were you two nobles before? Sorry, I don't mean to pry into your past identities. It's fine if you don't want to talk about it, I'm just a little curious," Nagato said, gathering her courage as she looked at the beautiful appearance of the two sisters.
