Human beings and other creatures of this world live serious lives.
Half a year has passed since my 3-year-old Birthday.
As expected, I’m a 3-year-old. It’s different from a 2-year-old. Understand that in this half a year many, many things have changed; or so I feel these days.
The first change was from my Father.
His visits of this mansion, which were once 1-2 times per Year, have now increased to 1-2 times per Month.
What happened, Father? Did you get fired?
No, no. If it’s my wonderful father, customers would come by the dozens. As his daughter, I can guarantee it.
Then, there’s that…… I don’t care for sweets, so there’s no need to bring them every time. Eating them makes me restless. Even if you serve them by hand with teary eyes, I’ll refuse.
Well, although when I say that, his face becomes very lonely……
Ahh, I can’t resist the temptation of Father’s lap. I love sitting on his knee a lot. Recently, he along with my Mother have started patting me.
…… You guys, aren’t you pampering me a bit too much?

Min came to read me a book. I really like stories.
Of course, I’ve also read before, you know? The book Min’s brought is a picture book; it’s essentially a biography of this land, the surrounding areas, and other such things.
「Deep within the forest, a Fairy tribe known as the Shiodaifuku dwells.」
「……… Eh?」
「Deep within the forest, the Fairy tribe Shiodaifuku lives.」
「Ah, I see.」I carelessly interrupted Min, causing her to energetically repeat what she said. 『Salt Daifuku』 is…… What is it? I think I sort of recall some sort of strange creature.
As a Demon… Or more, as an inhabitant of the Spirit World, even if I don’t understand the language, I can feel the intentions contained within the words.
I『heard』the proper noun through the sound it makes. For example, a word that means Apple, when heard, will translate to Apple. When I say Apple, it’s translated in a language above the common【Spirit Language】: the 【Holy Spirit Language】, so it’s translated and understood of its own accord.
Though speaking is incredibly convenient, letters are a bit troublesome.
I can read without a problem. The writing is converted into characters of a known language, and sorted properly; even if it’s just a glance, so long as I’ve read the word once before I can read fluently.
But that won’t do. I can’t write. Not understanding the grammar of the language I’m writing is fatal.
I have to remember each and every character written while watching the characters reform converted while writing. It’s really troublesome.
And so, I’ve begun to think that it would be better to tone down the ability of 『Language Conversion』 and started studying.
I lower 『Language Conversion』 and slowly mutter 『Salt Daifuku』.
「…… Elf.」
Seriously?
From the story, my knowledge of the Elves wasn’t changed much, but the common sense of this world is quite tricky.
Incidentally, Dwarves are also present.
Their natural pronunciation is better than Salt Daifuku: 『Mochipurun』 .
…… Hm? It doesn’t really matter, but their height seems to be ~2 meters.
