My irregularities surpass Reality.

Chapter 45- An unexpected little girl

“Wow it's getting in shape!” I said with an excited expression, my deadbeat land was now looking fabulous… grass had grown on the yard, the backyard looked very beautiful. I had made a small pond and Systy got some beautiful fish for it. I even made a front gate that looked normal I guess? On the other hand, I had made a greenhouse… with my miasma. It looked great. But the thing is, there was no one that could take care of the plants.  We couldn't grow anything there sadly. no one was equipped with such skills…. Even if I had… lets just say that I had no time to tend to them, I prefer training and fooling around with Leila much more comfy.

“hmmmm! I think I need to hire an expert in this field…” I was relaxing in my mansion's backyard. I was alone and not even a maid was here today. They were really busy so I had to excuse Mai for the day. It was their Monthly meeting and shopping day for them. they would buy the things they would need and also the things that the house would need, so it was all in one busy shopping day… Moreover, with my mansion being built, the maids were stretched even thinner. but then someone said something from beside me…

“Hmm I can do that no problem!” as I looked beside me to see, it was a very childlike voice and it felt as if a 7 to 8 year old girl said it.. Wasn't I supposed to be alone??

“What do you mean you can do?” I asked in a polite tone since she was a small girl. I wouldn't want to make her nervous...

“I can grow good plants and other fruits and vegetables! I am the best!” She said with a confident look, it looks like she even realized what the green house was…. 

“Okay? That's a good skill to have but who are you little girl?.... I haven't seen….” As I was saying, from the other end of the yard where it connected to my grandparents mansion, some people were running this way and yelling something. I think I heard them saying something about a girl running off….

“Huf huf huf…. Mile why’d you get separated from us…. Like that…?'' The old man who came running looked like he ran quite a bit to find this girl. He really looked like he was terrified of losing this girl… just when I was thinking that I had been able to understand what the situation was..

“I am sorry my Lord, forgive this young one! She was just curious to look around here…..!!!`` Suddenly the old man had prostrated himself; he even made the small girl bow a bit…. I was bewildered by this…. I don't quite remember something like this happening to me, maybe even in my 2nd life…

“Hey! You guys don't have to do that, it's a small mistake you know! actually a kid can probably get away with this much?”  I was struggling. I didn't really like people getting like this but even when I was saying that it was all right, it looked like the old man was still prostrating like his life depended on it… 

When I thought that I should get some help, Mai came to my rescue…

“Oldman.. It’s alright. Our master has already forgiven you… you should get up or you will be disrespecting his judgments..” hearing that the old man got up immediately. It was a roundabout way of saying don't grovel like that when you are forgiven… Mai truly knew how to handle such situations.

“Forgive me My lord, I do remember you being quite benevolent…” as the old man said, he was still looking down, I mean we were like nobles but still, he was really uncomfortable here. The small girl was something else though. She was looking as normal as she could, on the other hand, she wasn't even looking nervous. Her extremely optimistic look was presenting the possibility that she and this old man were clearly cut from different clothes.

“I am sorry but do I know you?” I don't really remember ever meeting them. So I asked just to be sure…

“What? did you forget? you saved us from those dirty bandits!” It was the girl who said that as if saying how could you forget? Something like that? It was amusing… little girls like her were full of funny faces that actually made you feel fuzzy.. Heh, you know what? She could be a great little sister. I am a little tempted to actually throw my power to get that to happen… or not.. The old man would probably get a heart attack at this rate..

Still it didn't really ring any bells to me. On the other hand, the old man was sweating bullets. Probably because the little girl was casually talking to me. Hmm I think I may remember something like this duo…

“Master they are the ones you praised for those good quality fruits and vegetables on the way to the capital.. Do you remember now?” 

...OOh! Yeah, now I remember.. It was this duo back there..! Heh, how can I forget? It has only been a few months but what are they doing here..?

“Master, they are here to deliver the goods that we wanted each month. Since you liked their product, We had made a monthly arrangement. it seemed that this young miss here got a bit curious so she sneaked off to look around. On the other hand her grandfather panicked and started looking for her, even her other party members were looking….. well I think they were told by now that we have found her.” 

“Ha ha, well I see that's quite the hectic story…” As I said that, the old man apologizes again… poor old man, he probably gets nervous near big shots, so a place like this is where he is most uncomfortable….

“Thank you my Lord, for taking a liking to our produce. We can sell them at a good price here. It helps our village a lot.” Well such good products were rare so it was obvious to like it…

As the old man tried to leave with his granddaughter, she on the other hand said…

“Wait grandpa! I want to go there! in that house.” the Little girl was looking at the glass house or green room that I had made for planting stuff… she was guessing that was a place to grow stuff.

“No no, this is not our village where you can go wherever you want…. Come on! be a good Mile and let’s go, everyone's waiting for you…” but the old man was talking in vain cause the girl took a stance as if saying she won't be budging from this spot until she gets to see what she wants…

Maybe she was going through her rebellious phase…

“Old man, it's okay, she can go look if she wants… it's empty anyway..”  as I said that, the girl seemed to brighten up.

“You see grandpa, he's given permission too, let's go see it from the inside…!!” the girl insisted. The old man seemed to give up and thanked me… but from her words, it seemed that even without my permission, she would have gone anyway… Well it was a really new experience for me too, the girls in the mansion were so straightforward that they only did what I wanted. Nobody really defied me… well other than get close to me saying getting filled with my cuteness or whatever.. I really needed to grow up.. Being called cute isn’t a thing I liked...

“Come on, say thank you, don’t forget your manners!” the old man said to Mile.

“Thank you Mr.” Well that was polite for her age..

So as I got her into the glass house, she looked around in wonder and then even touched the glass all over, she seemed to observe the whole room like a scientist. A little girl acting like this really is cute…  moreover the little girl actually was adorable with her big round eyes and silver hair. Her country-like clothing seemed to carry a calm air. Only the optimistic attitude of the girl was out of the box, As she went around the room with excitement and no hesitation to speak off.

“You can control the heat in here and you can control how much air and sunlight gets in this brilliant house…. You can grow anything here, it's like a room just for growing things…!” 

 Wow now that’s brilliant, she got everything this room can do, even without me explaining…. Although I was sure this type of house was close to nowhere in this world…

“Wow little girl, you really got what this green house can do..” I was really surprised because Sylvia, who was the most genius of our maids, couldn't even figure out what this was..

“He hehe I know. but this is great, you can grow anything here. you just need the right soil and water… Who made this?” she asked.

“I made it… but we don't really know how to do these things so I was planning to close it until I get some time to look around more.”

“Well now color me impressed, Master, she is quite a brilliant little girl…”

Mai looked as if she had just become a predator who was looking at the brilliant little girl. I know that this girl was probably a genius but on the other hand Mile’s grandfather was sweating bullets… I mean, to him, it would feel like his precious grandchild had gotten the attention of some high class nobles….. Anyone would be like that in this situation… so I looked at the little girl and wanted to see what her take on this was…

“It’s a great house, your brilliant Mr. I thought all the Nobles were just pig headed Bastards!” holy hell this little girl had quite the strong mouth on her…

“I am truly sorry my lord!!! She didn't mean anything by it!!!.........” Just the reaction I was hoping I'd see, the girl's grandfather was on the ground again begging. well she did insult the bad nobles but this doesn't really concern all the nobles….

“Hey old man! Do you think I am a corrupt noble?” I asked in a serious tone… on the receiving end, the old man shivered a bit… but then started to talk more pleadingly…

“Perish the thought my Lord! you are the hero's Grandson, you even are known as the benevolent! You even saved us. I would rather die than to think that!” 

“That's right so why are you apologizing?” That's the question on my mind..

“It’s because my grandchild spoke ill of nobles… so...:”

“Grandpa are you stupid? I was talking about the pig headed ones the Mr. here is a true noble with a good mind.'' The Grandchild Mile even gave such a statement and as I nodded to the old man he stood up again, but then I remembered something and that was in my 2nd life, calling a noble a disgrace was thought as disgrace to all nobles, so Mile should probably not do this again… assuming the culture here was the same too.

“Mile.. you are right about some nobles okay? but you have to think about the bigger picture. A pig headed one wouldn't be able to understand what you said… so refrain from such talks with them okay?”  I corrected her the way I thought would be the best…

“Master is right Little girl, take this advice and you might go far in the future…” I don’t think it's that important of an advice, come on MAI!

“Hmm Mr.. you're right, I never thought like that.” It looked like she even took my advice to heart. So I instinctively patted her head… she gave a pleased expression, it was adorable..!

“All right, tell you what, if people from your family like it, I would like for you to work for me.. I’ll give you some time to think okay? Come back next month… and Old man you have got a bright grandchild, bring her every time you come to deliver your produce here, I’d love to talk to her.`` 

In this world, people who could think out of the box and who were not shackled to society were rare, so this girl could become someone very important if she only got some support… I would love to be that support but since she was still a little girl and probably the mascot of that small village, I should let that decision fall towards them…. 

“Really! I can work here? Then can I read many books too? I want to learn about the elves…” ooh looks like the little miss here already has quite some dreams…

“Yeah, but grow up a little more okay? Or your grandfather might get worried but in the meantime, tell you what.. you can read the books at our Library when you come!” I gave her such an offer so that she wouldn't rush too much…. Which made the girl jump in joy… for a little girl like her, she jumps quite high.. Guess this world's kids were physically a lot active.

“Thank you My lord. I owe my life to you. This Child was always like this and thank you for not taking her. It would break the villagers heart. She really is our precious child…..!” the old man looked really happy to hear my response and it looked like he even got some trust in me..

“Hmm… in a year she would be at the perfect age to start training to become a good maid..” Mai gave such comments from beside me. I was glad that the old man didn't hear it. I was sure he would freak out again.. But man, they must be from elsewhere cause the nobles here were much more respected….

“Thank you Mr. When I get big, I will pay you back for sure!” The little girl gave an enthusiastic reply while going back.

“Of Course I would like that! See you then and my name’s Rekka you can just call me that!” as she went on her way with the old man, she waved bye. What a good find. talents like these should be nurtured…

“Master I can see that you have a good eye for talent…” 

“More than talent, it was the girl's own line of thinking that made her stand out….. It was really something else..”

Mile huh… I will remember that name…

………….

It had been 3 days since Lilith went back to the capital. My mansion was looking complete, most of the work was already done, the front gate had been installed and it looked like your typical medieval design, although the building was a century ahead in terms of design… lets just say we have to roll with it for now.. I on the other hand was spending my time figuring out all the other stuff related to Lost dimension.

The room where the spell will be active was ready. I had made the spell so we could easily go in now if we want, but I was restraining myself and looking around much more about the spell… the system had done all it could. The only problem was I couldn't bring Ridge in there. Since she was a spirit of a different dimension, there were some restraints. So it means I will also not be able to bring her granted power with me too, so training for magic attacks and other magic related stuff were not gonna happen, but that wasn't of much concern. I used magic most of my 2nd life. I didn’t need to train in that department, but in this life since I had become a strength type who worked more on brute strength or technique of martial arts for fighting, I could train more in that department…. Although I had physical strength and combat abilities, since my magical talents out did all of those, I had been a hybrid mage type in my 2nd life….

If only I had my memories, I could have pieced all the information and figured out the best fighting style for me. Since that was not gonna happen, I would have to research more and find the most flexible style suited to me. Or rather master multiple styles. In this world a single individual can become as strong as a nation, my grandparents being such an example, there are sure to be more like them.. Or rather stronger than them. To counter those opponents one needed versatile techniques. No one knows what worked when after all.

Thus as a human I wanted to increase my techniques rather than my sheer strength. And to develop techniques, one needed time to invest on it.
