Architus glowed, and the book opened by itself.

As the pages turned, the previous characters disappeared and new ones were engraved.

[Using cash to summon ?You’ve Got the Wrong Person, Duke!? from Episode 1 to 70.]

“Hehehe…”

Only a bitter laugh came out.

I flipped through the pages of Architus, which had finished summoning.

Luckily, the ability I wanted was in Episode 70.

Should I be relieved or disappointed?

If it had been episode 50, I would have cried tears of blood, so I decided to consider myself lucky.

‘Anyway, at least I can finally use the new ability I obtained by leveling up!’

Unequipping an ability.

That means I can draw and equip a new ability right away.

“Unequip ability!”

[Not enough cash.]

This costs cash, too?

There’s no such thing as a free lunch, huh, sigh.

First, I checked my available cash.

? Available cash:

1,100 cash,

5,000 lottery tickets (x2),

3,000 lottery tickets (x2),

2,000 lottery tickets,

1,000 lottery tickets.

I had accumulated a lot of cash lottery tickets during that time.

Well, should I just draw them all?

No. Today, I’ll choose only one.

“I’ll use one 5,000 cash lottery ticket.”

I will concentrate on this one without dispersing my luck!

So please…!

[Using one 5,000 cash lottery ticket.]

[Congratulations!]

[You won 5,000 cash!]

R-Really?

I concentrated on luck, but I never expected 5000 cash to come out so perfectly!

It feels good.

Although I wanted to spin a little more, I decided to start with unequipping an ability.

[Using cash to unequip the equipped ability.]

[Please tell me the ability you want to unequip.]

‘If I were to follow my heart, it would be ?Cough, Cough, Bleurgh!?‘

Since I can’t unequip a passive ability, there’s nothing I can do.

In that case.

“?Take the Tax Bomb!?”

In fact, I thought it would be better to unequip ?It Wasn’t There, but Now It Is? rather than this.

Since it’s something I won’t need to use immediately.

But because it’s such a good ability, I was worried.

‘Maybe the unequipped ability will disappear.’

There was a message saying that the ability storage was unlocked, but I didn’t know what restrictions the storage had.

[Using 5000 cash to unequip ability ?Take the Tax Bomb!?]

Light flowed out of the crystal heart emblem of Architus.

That light soon became the shape of a winged heart crystal.

I held it in my hand and thought about it.

Is it okay to store it?

“I’ll store it in the ability storage.”

[Storing the ability ?Take the Tax Bomb!? in the ability storage.]

At the same time as the notification, a new window appeared in front of me.

‘This looks like the item window, huh?’

I thought to myself as I brought the crystal heart to the window and it seeped into the window.

When I reached out to the heart drawing on the window, it appeared in my hand again.

‘Okay, there doesn’t seem to be any restrictions.’

It should work well since it cost 5000 cash just to unequip it!

I put the heart back in the storage and unfolded Architus.

‘Now it’s time to draw my abilities!’

[Using the trait ?Rush and Cash? to extract the ability of the protagonist in the novel.]

From the unfolded book, small specks of light like sand particles flowed out.

Eventually, the light particles divided and merged to become two crystals.

‘Oh, right. The total number of abilities I can summon now is five.’

Since I already have three summoned, it’s inevitable that the number of abilities is so low.

‘Please let one of these two be the ability I want…!’

Pushing down my anxiety, I picked one of them.

[You have chosen the ability ?Forget Me.?]

Forget me…?

But the female lead didn’t have an amnesia ability?

Just by looking at the ability name, I can’t tell who came up with it.

[Creating the ability.]

The heart crystal that flew from my hand merged with the transparent heart on the cover, which became transparent as I unequipped it.

Again, all the hearts turned red.

[Ability ?Forget Me?]

? Empathetic Text:

‘I promised I would never cheat and run away again.’

I clenched my fist tightly.

But I didn’t change my resolution.

‘I’m doing this for the Duke.’

He will never think that way, but I have no other choice.

‘He’ll be mad at me for disappearing, scream at me for running away again, yell at me that he can’t believe it, and then……..’

I bit my lip, swallowing the tears that were welling up.

‘Forget about me.’

This is the time for the most perfect transformation.

‘Whoa, when I read this before, it was a real sweet potato.’

Even now, that scene was definitely a sweet potato.

‘I even thought the male lead would found out, but he didn’t notice at all.’

Even with the female lead right in front of him, the male lead couldn’t recognize her.

Of course, it’s popcorn-worthy to see the male lead go crazy and carry out various revenge strategies.

This is the moment when the protagonist of ?You’ve Got the Wrong Person, Duke!? tearfully made up her mind.

She avoids the male lead’s gaze by using a magical item that can perfectly change her appearance.

How this ability is used is entirely at the discretion of the reader.

? Ability Effect: Through illusion, you can change appearance as desired for one hour.

? Available uses: 0/10

‘Great. This is the ability I wanted!’

Who would have thought that the sweet potato-choking scene would be helpful.

Anyway, I felt good.

I got the ability I wanted, I unequipped an ability, and obtained a new ability!

‘Then, the only thing left is to go to that child.’

I put Architus on the bedside table and left the bedroom.

Just as I was about to leave the room, I ran into Laura in the hallway.

“Where are you going, miss?”

“To that kid.”

“You’ve already been twice today, haven’t you?”

After hearing those words, I realized my mistake.

How the attackers are dealt with is also related to the prestige of the dukedom.

‘It would be strange to go so often without delivering a proper punishment.’

I keep seeing him like that yet I’m not punishing him.

“Go tomorrow. You should take a bath today.”

“Um…”

But shouldn’t I at least take care of his wounds first?

“Is it because you don’t want to take a bath? The ducks and the whales will join, too.”

No, I’m not throwing a tantrum because I don’t want to take a bath!

“We also have new toys! A turtle and sea otter friends!”

“…Sea otter?”

No, this isn’t it!

“Well then! Let’s go take a bath together with your new sea otter friend!”

Laura hugged me and went to the bathroom, singing lalala.

* * *

“By the way, Miss, there was a rumor today that Viscount Dier crossed the garden crying.”

She said while massaging my hand.

I raised my head from the hot spring.

“Viscount Dier wants to call me master!”

“Oh, my, Miss, you don’t like Viscount Dier to call you master?”

Nancy’s eyes widened while applying oil to my hair.

“Well, it’s unpleasant to see a grown man like him doing that.”

“In your eyes, he may look like a grown man. But I’m sure there are many people who would like that, right?”

“A good-looking and talented man calling you ‘Master’ is nice, isn’t it?”

“And his red hair is also a plus.”

Laura is a redhead.

I don’t dislike red hair either.

However.

“Hmmp, sisters, you don’t know anything.”

I stood up straight and looked at my sisters.

I mean, even if I were a 5-year-old reincarnated child at this moment, I’m quite knowledgeable in this regard, you know?

Thousands of romance fantasy novels accompanied me, you see.

“The person who calls you ‘Master’ should be austere or seductive. Or innocent like a blank sheet of paper who knows nothing.”

Centuries of big data, piled on top of each other.

The optimal amount based on that.

“Viscount Dier is too timid. Even if he tries calling me ‘Master,’ I don’t feel anything at all!”

My sea otter and turtle friend scurried away as I splashed water on them.

“Well, I see.”

My sisters nodded with surprised expressions.

But as they thought about it for a moment, they realized the greatness of my words, and their eyes sparkled.

“From the sounds of it, I think it would be nice for a stoic knight to call me master.”

“Yes, always buttoned up to the neck, huh? And, huh? The only exposed skin is the gap between the glove and the sleeve, right?”

“Ah… That’s so wonderful.”

“Or maybe a charming fox-like man, gently saying ‘Master.’ But he has to do it only for me. If he winks at someone else, he’s immediately disqualified.”

“Coo! That’s a perfect combination!”

Yes, yes.

It’s a setting with a long-honored tradition.

There’s a reason for its popularity.

“…But, Miss.”

Anna looked at me strangely.

“How did you know that?”

“…….”

That’s right, I’m a crying five-year-old.

Then, the other sisters who were immersed in the classical aesthetics I taught them suddenly realized and looked at me.

Uh, well.

I rolled my eyes back and forth.

“…T-That’s what Clatie said, Clatie!”

Eh, I don’t know, I don’t know!

It’s definitely a false accusation!

If you feel wronged, come find me! So what¹? ? which literally means “cut my belly”, implying “I don’t want to accept your request!!

“The Tarenka father and daughter are truly useless!”

“I’ve heard that kids are mature these days, but really!”

“I wonder what they taught our innocent young lady!”

Well, whatever, it’s a good thing.

Even though my sisters liked it, what a bother.

“You’re still too young, Miss. That’s dirty and bad. Forget about it.”

Anna started massaging my scalp, telling me to forget quickly.

You think I’ll forget like that?

They expect me to forget while they remember everything.

They’ll probably have an in-depth discussion later without including me.

‘Tch.’

I pursed my lips and closed my eyes obediently.

Ah, refreshing.

My sisters’ touch is the best.

I let go of my strength and immersed myself in my thoughts.

‘Come to think of it, something’s odd.’

Why isn’t there a quest to kick that child out?

Even if it was as simple as that quest of giving Clatie a cider.

Rather than telling me to chase or kill that child, it would be clearer if there was as a quest.

But why hasn’t it arrived?

Is there a reason the devil can’t send such a quest?

Is there some restriction on the devil itself?

Or is it on that child?

After pondering for a while, I realized there was no way to know now.

“Well, you did well. It’s so nice to do this. You feel good after a bath, right?”

“Sea otter says he’s happy bathing with you.”

“He says let’s do it again! We should, right?”

No, they keep treating me like a baby who doesn’t want to bathe.

Don’t they know I actually enjoy bathing?

‘A-Although there was that one time when I cried and threw a fit, saying I didn’t want to bathe because of a penalty.’

Kuh-ung.

It’s my fault.

“Please raise your arms, my lady.”

Soon, I was wrapped tightly in a big, soft towel.

Anna gave me cookies and warm milk with honey, saying I did well in the bath.

‘Haah, a child’s life is the best.’

No one rewards you for taking a bath when you’ve grown up.

With my body warm and my belly full, sleep gradually overtook me.

I heard Anna chuckle as she dried my hair.

With closed eyes, I hummed and opened my mouth.

“Can I go see that child tomorrow?”

“Oh my! It seems like the young lady is quite fond of that child.”

“Well, he is good-looking enough to capture one’s heart at first sight. Our young masters are exceptional, but he gives off a different vibe.”

“It’s not like that!”

Have they all misunderstood me, thinking I’m captivated by his beauty?

“I am working hard for world peace! And besides, he’s just a child!”

I opened my eyes and expressed my frustration.

“A child should eat and play well. They still don’t know much, so they can make mistakes! The adults should correct them!”

“Yes, yes, the young lady who is an adult should correct them?”

“Oh, my, our young lady has grown up.”

My sisters pinched my cheek and chuckled.

Ouch!

“Anyway, since he stormed the duke’s palace, we can’t just release him and take care of him indiscriminately, but in any case, he hasn’t crossed any lines. Have you seen the knights? They’ve all recovered, right?”

“Yes, they were in a frenzy this morning, coming to find the young lady and telling her not to worry.”

“That’s right!”

I proudly shrugged my shoulders, pointing that out.

“Hehe, then the lady should do as she wishes.”

“Who would dare to stop the young lady if she wants to?”

“As long as you bathe properly.”

No, these sisters!

I’m so excited!

* * *

The next day.

I stood in front of the underground prison, holding a large basket.

The basket was filled with food, bandages, medicine, and clean water.

‘It’s heavy.’

I hope that brat appreciates this effort and has a change of heart.

‘I hope that he won’t be obsessed with me or seek revenge!’

I hid myself in the dungeon corridor and used my ability.

[Ability ?Forget Me? activated.]

[Please imagine the desired appearance in your mind.]

I imagined the perfect form that could open the hearts of others and approach them.

‘If I look like this, it will definitely work!’

There wasn’t any noticeable energy flowing through my body.

But the perspective from which I saw things changed, and above all, the hands were not my own.

Curiously, I slowly flexed and clenched my fingers.

Although it didn’t appear to be mine, it moved according to my will.

When I touched my face, I felt a completely different sensation.

‘Whoa, that’s amazing.’

This disguise is like real magic!

I confidently held the basket I had put down and walked inside.

The child, who had been sitting silently, suddenly stood up when he saw me.

OK.

The child still has good manners.

I must keep the secret.

I smiled warmly with a wrinkled face.

“Grandma’s here.”

Somehow, the child’s expression was strange.
