The Reincarnated Clunker Princess Is Actually the Strongest Magician – The Former Villainess Wants to Enjoy a Slow Life with Her Fluffy Friends in Her Second Life – Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Fluffing Punishment

How can I help Okaa-sama?

I don’t want to marry Prince Edward, but more importantly, I don’t want to lose Okaa-sama.

Knowing what lies ahead, doing nothing is not an option.

It would be impossible for me to put an end to the war. It is not for me, a child, to make decisions about the affairs of nations.

Holding Okaa-sama back… It’s difficult to keep her around. Okaa-sama is a responsible woman. I’m sure she’ll also volunteer this time.

The Third Battle of Cryna will happen soon.

Is there any way? I have to think about it!

“What’s bothering you so much?”

“Your brows are creased. Mariel, you’re ruining your cute face.”

“…”

Aside from Laseid, Layleigh-san has become a regular visitor.

They are eating sweets and relaxing in my room.

“…What happened to the Dragon Village rules you mentioned?”

Isn’t it against the law for parents to visit their children after they’ve been released?

I think it’s good that Ruria interacts with his parents, but…

“I’m only here for the treats. Human-made sweets are delicious.”

Layleigh-san gives five spirit stones every time. Perhaps that was an excuse to come here every five days to replenish Blanc the spirit owl’s food?

“I am Mariel’s magic teacher.”

Laseid triumphantly snorts.

Having an ancient elemental dragon teach you magic is a first-class luxury.

“What is Mariel concerned about? When you have a lot of childhood worries, you grow old quickly.”

Layleigh-san appears friendly, but she has a sharp tongue.

“…I’m looking for a way to end the war.”

“War? Is there a conflict somewhere?”

“No—for example, our country and the Crotalion Empire have been at odds for years, and I wonder if a war could break out at any time…”

Layleigh-san frowns as I stumble through my words.

“Are you hiding something? You’ll be punished for being such a bad girl!”

Punishment? Eh?! What is she planning on doing to me?!

Layleigh-san stands up.

“Kii~yui!”

Ruria immediately gets out of my lap. Eh? Ruria?! Are you not going to help me?!”

“Layleigh-san! W-What do you mean by punishment?!”

I shut my eyes because Layleigh-san suddenly jumped at me, but it was strangely light, so I slowly opened my eyes.

A cat with blue-gray fur sat on my lap.

” Ru! Russian Blue!”

“Bad girls get fluffed—Fufufu. Can you put up with this adorable fluff?”

I hear Layleigh-san’s voice coming from the cat, which means…

“Layleigh-san?! Eh? Were you a cat all along?!”

“No—ancient elemental dragons are easy to transform into any form.”

“That’s right!”

“I see! Mariel likes fluffy things. Me too!”

Laseid then transforms into a dog and leaps onto my lap.

“Wha-! Why did you choose my favorite breed, Laseid-sama?!”

Laseid’s shiba-inu form is adorable as he grins.

“Don’t you often draw pictures of dogs, cats, and other animals?”

I do make fluffy drawings, but I had no idea they were watching me?!

“Now tell me everything you’ve been keeping hidden.”

Fluffy tortures me to death.

“That’s not fair!”

Endless fluff! Fluffy, fluffy, fluffy, fluffy…
