Bluebird Lady and The White Lion Family Chapter 6.1

 

 

“Name.”

 

“…yes?”

 

At first glance, Khan’s brow furrowed slightly.

 

Confused, Sophina spoke her name out loud without even knowing what was happening.

 

“I-It’s Sophina!”

 

Khan, who was closely examining Sophina, spoke of her honest impressions.

 

“It’s small and skinny.”

 

Sophina gently rubbed her forearm.

 

Was it because of the little story from the original? A strange embarrassment filled my mind.

 

Soon, the mother snorted indifferently.

 

“You need to gain weight.”

 

You’re talking like you’re going to fatten me and eat me up…

 

Ahaha! She smiled awkwardly and fixed her gaze on the floor.

 

Her mother-in-law, who was taking a leisurely look scanning Sophina, asked a question.

 

“What’s your favorite food?”

 

Khan’s sharp eyes gleamed.

 

If they found out, they seemed like they would buy all the food out on the market.

 

Sophina smiled as innocently as she could with bitter eyes.

 

“I like berries!”

 

I don’t really like bugs…

 

“Meat.”

 

“…?”

 

“The calf is tender and delicious. Try to eat it from now on.”

 

Khan rested her chin and continued chicly.

 

Sophina stared at her with round eyes.

 

‘I am a bluebird.’

 

Of course, in the humanized state, I could eat anything regardless of its size, but it feels a little different, doesn’t it?

 

It’s a world with a view where beasts and animals are separated, but I felt a bit sorry.

 

Besides, the calf was also cute.

 

“Yes!”

 

But Sophina meekly nodded her head.

 

How could I blame my mother-in-law when she’s trying to look good for me?

 

“Then the clothes are settled, so I guess I’ll have to leave.”

 

After she had finished speaking, Khan got up from the sofa and passed by Sophina.

 

She still has work to finish before she could go back tomorrow morning.

 

It was just that a little bluebird was glimmering in front of her eyes strangely, so she just hung out with it for a while.

 

Meanwhile, Sophina glanced at the back of Khan.

 

‘Are you busy? I still have something to ask you…’

 

Sophina plucked up her courage and called on Khan.

 

“Mo- mother!”

 

Khan stopped, as if she had heard something unexpected, and her eyelashes fluttered as she paused.

 

Khan’s stiff upper body slowly turned toward Sophina.

 

She hesitated for a moment, then bit her lips.

 

“…mother?”

 

“Yes, mother.”

 

Sophina bit her lower lip slightly to hide her embarrassment, and tried to smile.

 

Then Sophina politely brought up the point.

 

“About that necklace from earlier. Could you give it to me?”

 

“Why?”

 

In response to her mother’s question, Sophina explained the reason in a pathetic tone.

 

“I have something to pay back to my older brothers and sisters. Could I use it? I promise. I’ll never do anything to hurt you, mother.”

 

“Do whatever you want.”

 

Khan agreed without hesitation. Then she added words briefly.

 

“…daughter-in-law.”

 

The earlobes of the Khan, which contained the word “daughter-in-law” in her mouth, were redder than usual.

 

‘I called her daughter-in-law earlier, but it sounded strange now.’

 

‘Mother?’

 

Maybe it was because I was called by that little bluebird by an unfamiliar name.

 

It’s like a new family.

 

Sophina, who had no idea what Khan was thinking, bowed to greet.

 

“Thank you!”

 

“Let’s rest before leaving tomorrow.”

 

After saying those words, my mother left the room.

 

Of course, she didn’t forget to order her assistant to take good care of Sophina this time.

 

In this way, Sophina was able to use the best guest room in the Eagle Mansion, not in the closet room as usual.

 

Apparently, my sisters and brothers and my father were temporarily detained in their respective rooms.

 

As much as I had told my mother, it would have been difficult to expect good treatment.

 

‘It’s perfect.’

 

Sophina took out the ruby necklace, in her arms, laughing.

 

And then she murmured faintly.

 

“Get ready, you bastards.”

 

 

***

 

Before I knew it, it was late at night.

 

Time when most people are swimming in the dreamland.

 

Even the assistant lion, who had been playing around with me as an escort, seemed to have gone to sleep for a while.

 

Sophina opened the door silently with her telekinesis, and crept around the corridor like a stray cat.

 

There were some lions who were on guard, but they moved out around and I roughly avoided them.

 

The destination was the kitchen.

 

Because there was a safe hidden there.

 

It was a secret that I found out while spying on my older sister and older brother who blatantly walked in and out of the kitchen every time.

 

What was in the safe was none other than land documents. Threatening and extorted on powerless small animal families.

 

‘I’ve been busy trying to do anything ever since I realized the original.’

 

Now this effort is paying off!

 

Sophina used her ability to remove heavy kitchen furniture.

 

Then the entrance to the basement was revealed on the floor.

 

She opened the stiff door and tried to get in.

 

“What are you doing?”

 

If I hadn’t heard my mother’s voice all of a sudden.

 

“Tea is a good thing…?”

 

Surprised, Sophina said whatever popped out of her mouth.

 

Khan nodded her head in the cool daylight.

 

“I won’t disturb you, so keep going, good job.”

 

“Yes.”

 

I was forced to climb down the ladder with my mother.

 

Sophina sat down with her mother in a small space.

 

In front of her was a safe that was so hard that it wouldn’t break even if someone shot it.

 

“Hmm. A safe?”

 

Khan watched the situation with curiosity.

 

She had come to sense the presence of the bluebird with her lion-hearing characteristic.

 

Sophina stared at her mother without saying anything.

 

‘I have no choice but to use my telekinesis here.’

 

Sophina, unsure of it, took advantage of her ability to open the safe easily.

 

“Oh.”

 

My mother let out a small exclamation.

 

She glanced at Sophina.

 

It was the first time she had seen such an ability.

 

Because the species called bluebird was so rare that it wasn’t even included in the compilation of the shapeshifters.

 

In the meantime, Sophina left the basement with a huge amount of land documents in her arms.

 

Khan followed and moved on.

 

She asked, indifferently removing the dust from her daughter-in-law’s forehead.

 

“What are you going to do with this?”

 

Large amounts of land documents.

 

It looked like a secretly hidden property.

 

Could this be the reason why the eagle’s behavior felt so bad?

 

Khan’s curiosity grew even more.

 

She chuckled as she glanced up at her mother with her round eyes.

 

“I want to eat some hot pot!”

 

With those words, the morning dawned quickly.
