Chapter 12
“······.”
───── ⋆⋅⋅⋆ ─────
My tail, which now began to grow in shape, allowed me to balance myself even in non-flat areas.
Shuffle, shuffle.
“Pii.”
“You’re a good walker.”
“Pii~.”
As I went to the palm of his hand, the landlord tapped my beak. I feel it all the time he does this, the landlord seems to like my beak.
“I’ve heard that you can humanize soon.”
“Pii!”
“But I can’t see where you actually grew up.”
He muttered while holding me up and looking around.
No, I’m growing up really well. I can eat more rice than before.
When I glared with a silent energy, the landlord grinned. It was an obvious sneer.
“Or did all the food go to your belly?”
“Pii!”
“My Lord, Miss Irene is growing up very well.”
When I got angry, Rosaria intervened and brought a white wooden board as evidence. It was a wooden board measuring height every morning. The edges of the wooden boards were punctuated with red lines dated at short intervals.
“What is this?”
“It is a record of Miss Irene’s growth.”
Rosaria smiled proudly and showed it to everyone, and they turned to the wooden board she was holding.
“Are you sure she’s growing up?”
Measurements of her feet were recorded, placed with the dates. She was obviously growing, albeit barely.
The landlord meekly admitted the truth as I flapped my wings for him to look at.
“I see.”
“Pii!”
“You are definitely growing up. But······.”
When will I finish growing up at this rate?
Everyone looked at Hestia with curious eyes.
Having the most savvy knowledge in the room, she glistened her eyes while looking at the wooden board and coughed to speak.
“You can’t try to understand it with the same knowledge used for fast-growing individuals. Miss Irene is different from us.”
“It will take her a while to grow then.”
“She’s different from the masters who grow up day by day with a significant change. The Black Mamba quickly becomes independent but Miss Irene will take a little longer.”
“Really?”
Listening to Hestia’s explanation, the landlord smiled satisfactorily, somehow liking what he had just heard.
───── ⋆⋅⋅⋆ ─────
The landlord, who I thought would just take a quick look, stayed for quite a long time before going back. Thanks to that, all the intelligence that I had hidden was revealed in front of everyone.
“Don’t you know how smart Miss Irene is?”
The landlord, who was slowly losing interest over time, replied attentively.
“What’s that about?”
“She’s learning about other Clans these days.”
“You’re doing unnecessary things again.”
Even though he said so, the landlord beckoned at her as if saying to show him something.
There was a box with pictures of various animals. It was one of Rosaria’s recent purchases for educational purposes. She took out one of the wooden paintings in the box, shook it and asked.
“Miss Irene, what is this?”
“Pii Pii!”
Huff!
I pulled my tail straight and puffed my body.
It’s really scary, just like this.
I remember it because she has emphasized it several times that it was scary.
“Great job!”
Rosaria clapped her hands and Hestia, who was eating refreshments, opened her mouth while blankly looking at me.
Neither the landlord nor Baon expressed much reaction, but I could feel that they had stopped what they were doing and were concentrating.
You didn’t know I was this smart, did you?
I clapped with my wings excitedly.
The landlord, who was staring at me, nodded to Rosaria, asking her to get something else out.
“Then Miss Irene, what is this?”
“Pii—ii~~.”
Moo~~.
Rosaria shut her mouth as she heard the cow cry that I did with my chirping. I was a little embarrassed by the harsh reaction. In fact, Rosaria praised me for every little thing, so even I was getting used to this kind of atmosphere.
I’m a baby bird who can do this easily.
“How can you be so smart! You must be a genius!”
As expected, Rosaria began to rant on with her compliments.
“You haven’t seen any other clan yet, but you’re so amazing, Miss Irene.”
Next to her, Hestia gave her a helping hand. I felt like my cheeks were getting hot, so I snooped around for no reason.
As soon as Hestia took out a new animal picture for me to look at and shook it, another thing that caught my eye intensely appeared.

Hmm. I want to eat snacks too.
The landlord held it up when he saw the snack lying on the table.
“Do you want to eat?”
“Pii.”
“Would you like to?”
“Pii.”
“Then what am I?”
“Pii?”
The landlord secretly urged me to imitate him. You’re the landlord, right?
But he even gave me the name Irene and said that he would make me his daughter…It was awkward until now, so I kept calling him the landlord, but I knew he wasn’t just called that.
But it’s so embarrassing and awkward. What should I do?
As the baby bird shut her mouth and fell into serious trouble, the surroundings became noisy.
“Maybe she doesn’t know who the Lord is?”
“Well, I’ve never explained it to her.”
“…but she knows that?”
Hestia, who was whispering with Baon, pointed to the animal character cards.
As my silence got longer, the atmosphere in the room became stagnant and gloomy. Eventually, I met the Landlord cold looks head-on.
The moment his forehead narrowed slightly, I secretly avoided his gaze.
“There is nothing wrong.”
The Landlord pushed back the cookies he was giving me.
“Ungrateful baby bird, it’s Cade.”
“Pii?”
“Follow me, Cade.”
“Pii Pii Pii.”
When I followed him and said his name, the landlord sighed and gave me a snack.
Chew Chew.
It’s been a month since I lived in this house, but I got to know the name of the landlord for the first time today.
“Pii Pii Pii.”
“Yes.”
“Pii Pii Pii.”
“Yes.”
As the frozen atmosphere eased little by little, Rosaria, who was embarrassed, hurriedly began to take care of the aftermath.
“Miss Irene didn’t know the Lord’s name, did she?”
“That’s possible. It’s good that I found out now.”
Cade laughed at the words. I looked straight through to his red eyes.
“Don’t tell me you don’t even know I’m your dad.”
I… I knew that. However, there was no time to feel it because it didn’t feel realistic.
I took a big breath.
If I take a long time to answer here, the landlord might completely reverse his decision in making me his daughter.
Took.
I grabbed his finger in a hurry and Cade’s eyebrows went up.
“What are you doing?”
“Pii Pii.”
“Yes.”
“Pii-“
Poke.
I hit my beak gently and Caid’s fingertips winced.
“Oh my gosh! The Baby expressed her love to the Lord.”
Hestia quickly explained what it was this time and Caid’s stiffened expression, abated by her explanation.
“I see.”
I was relieved of my worries.
“Pii!”
Whew, that was a relief.
───── ⋆⋅⋅⋆ ─────
On a sunny afternoon, I recovered to some extent and went out to the garden.
“Shall we play ball today?”
“Pii!”
Rosaria rolled a huge ball the size of my body on the lawn, but in truth, it was the size of her palm.
They said it was a ball specially made for me.
Tung Tung.
A cheerful sound rang from the air-filled ball. As I looked around, Rosaria gave me some rules.
“You’re only playing around here. Okay?
“Pii!”
“Don’t go beyond the fountain. It’s dangerous for Miss Irene to go into the forest alone.”
“Pii!”
I rolled the ball with my body and ran. I didn’t roll it quickly because it was a lawn, but my body didn’t move as well as I wanted to, since I was playing this hard for the first time in a while.
