TL: Zimmings

My uniform was hanging onto my small body like a sack, my hands and feet became as small as those of a four-year-old, and my forearms were chubby like sausages.

Ive gotten younger.

[Child, are you okay? Huh]

Boones urgent voice rang in my head. I know Im not in a good condition when I feel the cold sweat all over my body.

I hurriedly looked around.

Mina was lying on the floor.

As I came closer to her, I could see Mina gasping, but she didnt seem to be in a dangerous state. She wasnt even young like me.

Why did only Mina was in this state? Her divine power is said to be much stronger than me.

I looked at Minas etwal. Unlike my first life, her etwal was empty.

Did Boone protect me?

[Yes, the wave was unusual, so I protected you.]

[Me too! I protected you faster than this idiot!]

Boone spoke in a somewhat proud voice, and Pur quickly intervened, saying that he was faster.

I didnt faint because the devils protected me, but Mina seemed to have fainted because she didn have anyone protecting her.

But why am I the only one who got younger?

As I was looking at Mina, I heard the sound of footsteps from afar.

The semester must be over soon. These freshmen do not know how to organize themselves.

Didnt you grumble like that last year too?

The maids were walking towards us while hugging the laundry.

Im in trouble. If I get caught being young!

I hurriedly ran into the bush.

And I was crouching when the maids approached the back door and saw Mina who fainted, they screamed.

Shes a freshman!

Anyone here?! A student collapsed!

People began to flock towards them.

Theyll take care of Mina. But what should I do?

I dont know what would happen if people saw me. What if they said that what I called out in the last battle was actually a devil, not an angel, and that I became young due to the devils curseM

Ugh

What? My voice!

I was surprised and covered my mouth with small hands.

Oops, its hard for me to think clearly because Im young.

I slowly got hungry. In this situation, if my mind completely becomes a child, many unwanted things could happen.

First lets run away.

After deciding, I tiptoed and quietly turned around.

In the senior dormitory, Henrys room, Isaac sat on Henrys sofa, messaging his stiff neck.

Ugh, I really cant even sit and talk for hours.

Its a meeting, meeting.

Henry handed over his teacup. Isaac answered lightly, Anyway, and received a glass.

I dont think Chief Kuhelm has any intention of opening his mouth. What if I end up torturing him until the vacation?

I hope not.

Yes, this year is the kids last holiday!

In this empire, children will be considered an adult on their 18th birthday. Therefore, 17 years old is the last period of adolescence, hence a big festival is held every time this is called the Last Holiday.

Ill tell you in advance. The kid will come out and do the dance with me for the last holiday.

Nonsense, shell pick me.

Damn, as I thought you werent going to take it easy. Our father and eldest brother are also aiming for the dance, arent they?

Usually, the dance of Last Holiday is performed with their father or the eldest son of their family.

I cant lose like this alliance?

Yes.

Isaac and Henry lightly held hands. After that, they heard a small knock.

Who is it?

He asked, but the answer didnt come back for a long time.

Isaac narrowed his brows and asked again.

I asked you, who is it?

A small murmur was heard from outside the room.

Im hewe to cwean up. (Im here to clean up.)

A little girl?

Theyve never heard of a child among the schools maids. As soon as Isaac and Henry exchanged strange gazes, a murmur was heard again from outside the door.

Cwean (Clean)

Isaac got up from the sofa and approached the door. He opened the door, but he couldnt see anyone in front of him.

What. No-

Isaac stopped when he looked down and saw someone.

It was a small girl, who wore oversized clothes.

She was looking up at him.

Curly, light brown hair.

Small hands.

A plump cheek that looks soft.

Blue eyes.

Kid?

What?

Henry approached Isaac in a hurry. The child seen over Isaacs back was definitely Leblaine in their childhood.

When the two were stiff, Leblaine tried to explain it to them.

Youwger (Younger)

***

Henry and Isaac looked at me as I ate bread in a hurry.

Even though Ive already finished four slices of bread the size of Isaacs hand, I was still hungry.

Cough! Cough, cough!

Henry handed over a cup of milk when I choked while eating bread.

Eat slowly, Leblaine.

Isaac, who was holding his chin while I drank the milk, said.

So, Minas devil passage and your amethyst overlapped, and this is what happened?

Ywes. (Yes.)

My pronunciation!

I quickly replied again with a stern look.

Ywesh. (Yes.)

No, why cant I even say that properly!

Be serious. Be serious

Fortunately it was easy for my brothers to understand my words.

How old are you?

Four.

No, youre smaller than when you were four years old.

Its twue. Im four. (Its true. Im four.)

No. You were as small as a bean when you were four, but now youre even smaller. Its definitely not your age.

Then twee yeaws old (Then three years old?)

I also do think my pronunciation is worse than when I was four.

Its difficult to estimate my age.

So what are you going to do now?

Twats the pwoblem. How can I attwend schoow? (Thats the problem. How can I attend school?)

Its amazing that youre worried about school first. Brother, what do you think?

.

Brother?

Henry didnt answer, just staring at my hand holding the glass of milk.

ute.

What?

Nothing.

Henry coughed and sat down next to me.

Its okay. There is a way.

As expected, Henry is more dependent than Isaac.

I waited for Henrys answer. Henry smiled kindly and patted my disheveled head.

You can live again from the start like this.

Wha? (What?)

Youve done it once, so Im confident youll do better the second time, Leblaine.

Its weird!

I banged my glass and protested, waving my arms recklessly.

If pweople found out that Im youngew, itll be a mess. I hwave to hide. How awe you going to make me an idwentity?

(If people found out that Im younger, itll be a mess. I have to hide. How are you going to make me an identity?

Then Isaac said.

We can say that youre fathers illegitimate child

Awe you cwazy? (Are you crazy?)

Im joking. I have another idea, kid.

I looked at Isaac with anticipation again this time. Isaac said with a triumphant look.

Lets call you our eldest brothers illegitimate child.

.

.

Me and Henry looked at Isaac with astonished looks.

Isaac continued,

No way. No one will believe us. Our older brother is perfect. But it might also ruin his reputation.

Isyak. (Isaac.)

Yes?

You dwont need to think from now on. (You dont need to think from now on.)

Isaac became sullen, and Henry nodded.

First of all, you should apply for a leave of absence. Lets say youre recuperating in the mansion.

I gwess so. Bwut what do I do when Im young? (I guess so. But what do I do when Im young?)

I cant send you to the mansion where our father and brother are. The two of them are so busy that they dont have time to take care of you.

What about sending the kid to aunt?

If its the capital city, it will be more dangerous as people could recognize her.

But we cant hide the kid from remote areas. If Dubbledes soldiers suddenly move to remote areas, it will be suspicious.

I also agreed with both of them.

It cant be helped.

I take a deep breath.

I hwave a way. Bwefore that (I have a way. Before that)

What?

Tell me.

Are there strawberries?

Lets eat strawberries first.

[Strawberries!]

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

Its hard for me to think when Im hungry. Its not like I really want to eat strawberries.

N-no way.
