My Daughters Have Regressed

013 – Stormy entrance exam # 2

013 – Stormy Entrance Exam # 2

There is a saying that children are mirrors of their parents.

It means that you can know the parents by looking at the children.

It was a story that even smelled like an old antique because it was so famous.

This story, which I don’t know when it was handed down, touched my bones.

“Oooh, Naru, the interview is over… !”

Naru liked it very much as she walked out of the interview room.

Was the experience just fun?

But I was a bit troubled.

Harshly butchering——that.

of course.

Naru’s slaughter had a good meaning.

In a pure and good sense.

However, the professors all seemed flustered and ended the interview in a hurry with a cough.

Each of them was writing letters on a score sheet or something.

I wonder if Naru did well in the interview… .

It felt strange to see my daughter being judged by others, regardless of whether she passed or not.

“It was fun! Grandpas and Uncles! Good people!”

I don’t know how the professors would have evaluated Naru.

It seems that Naru really liked the professors and teachers.

Certainly, they were the perfect people to be called educated people on the continent of Pangea, which is full of robbers, swindlers, swindlers, and rogues.

Once you see me, “… Extra points are awarded for not shouting “Hey, savage!”

“Graham Academy. It might be a better place than you thought.”

If Naru could be educated in a place like this, he might grow up really well.

Is this the heart of parents who don’t hesitate to move to send school in a good school district?

woo woo woo-.

Then Naru made a strange noise.

To be precise, it was the sound from Naru’s stomach.

“Naruya, are you hungry?”

“Yes!”

Come to think of it, I came out without eating breakfast.

Now that the interview was over, it was lunch time.

After lunch, Naru has a written and practical test.

As a guardian here, I could not accompany them.

In other words.

Lunchtime is the last time I can spend with Naru in today’s entrance exam.

What would you like to eat?

It seems that there are many restaurants nearby.

“Hans, let’s eat lunch!”

“Wow! My mom’s packed lunch! There are also lots of strawberries, which I like!”

“Mom, what about my sushi lunch box?”

“Eat slowly. You shouldn’t ruin the exam by getting a stomachache.”

In the surrounding parks, I could see the harmonious appearance of families spreading a mat on the lawn and having a meal.

The weather isn’t good for eating packed lunches.

“… lunch box.”

Naru murmured softly as she watched the children eating their lunch boxes.

Do you want to eat lunch too?

“Come to think of it… , I ate the lunch box my mom packed with my dad… I wear it… !”

Aha, it seems that an old memory came to mind.

it’s a lunchbox

It seems that the future me also ate lunch boxes with Naru and my wife in that way.

I don’t picture it very well in my head, though.

“Did you eat on the lawn? With mom and dad?”

I pictured a happy family in my head and asked.

Then, Naru shook her head.

“A cabaret bar… ! Naru likes cabaret… ! I have a lot of pretty sisters… ! I ate lunch with my older sisters and my dad… I wear it… !”

“… … .”

… Why the hell did I go there with my child?

Cabaret is a playground in the back world.

Why are there lunch boxes… .

It was information I didn’t want to know.

anyway.

I took Naru to a nearby restaurant.

“Dad, there… ! pork cutlet… !”

There was a pork cutlet restaurant where Naru’s little finger pointed.

“Pick a waiting number! Waiting number!”

“Wait in line! line!”

really a lot of people

is it a restaurant?

There are so many parents and students who come to take the entrance exam that it seems like there is no time to set foot.

Standby order also defaults to 100 units.

Because of this, can I eat before the practical and written tests?

Cut in line?

No, if I was alone, I would have sneaked in, but Naru was with me now.

Naru is like a sponge and learns a lot by looking at me.

You can’t learn by watching something like cutting in line.

“But there are too many people here.”

“This Naru, I wanted to eat pork cutlet, but it’s a pity… .”

“I can’t. Do you want something else to eat?”

“Naru, I like anything to eat!”

indeed.

He’s a kid with nothing to hide.

It was fortunate that the food was not fussy.

When I was young, I hated all types of vegetables, such as ginger bell peppers, anything, mushrooms, etc.

It was like that even when I was in high school.

No, it was like that even when I went to the army.

Was the unbalanced diet corrected in the first month of starvation right before death after coming to this world?

In that sense, eating well—was an advantage to survival.

“Naruya, from now on, you have to eat well no matter what.”

“Yes! Hungry more than that!”

“Another shop… .”

All other stores were also full.

Damn.

my thoughts were short

I’ve been through all sorts of things on the Pangea continent, but I never thought that this would happen because it was the first time for a child’s entrance exam.

Are you pushing it all away?

Are you kicking out the guests?

“Hmm.”

“Hmm… I wear it… !”

No, what will Naru, who watches and imitates me, learn?

can’t do it

* * *

Reluctantly, we went out to the park.

It’s already 12:30.

There is only 30 minutes left before the written exam.

woo woo woo-.

Sitting on a park bench, Naru’s stomach rumbled again.

When you’re 6 years old, when you’re big.

There’s no way I can stand something like hunger.

I scratched the back of my head in shame and said to Naru.

“If I had known it would be like this, I would have bought some bread before the interview.”

Swoouuu-.

then the wind blew

Carr, carrer-.

It was a spring day when children and parents laughed and chatted all over the place.

With everyone eating and drinking to their fullest, we just had to sit on a bench and starve.

Why does time flow so slowly?

What should I say about this situation… , I felt very helpless.

Wizard of Devastation – Even when I was attacked by Valdes and driven to the brink of annihilation, I had never felt so helpless.

I was praised as a hero or something, but maybe I was a villain after all.

“Naruya, sorry. I never thought of this.”

Now, I’m used to going without food for a day or two.

Now that I have crossed the border, there are many times when I am not hungry even if I do not eat.

So I couldn’t pay attention to the act of ‘eating’.

I can’t say I’m a good dad like this.

Then Naru said.

“Naru is fine! I’ve never starved for two days before!”

“… yes?”

Did your child starve for two days?

What on earth must happen for a child to starve for two days?

Did I, the mother or father, abuse or neglect the child?

“Naru, I’m not very hungry when I’m with Dad… !”

No, that’s why Naru liked me very much as a father.

Maybe something happened to me.

Should I ask what happened?

It was time to relax a bit with that feeling.

“Hey, there.”

A familiar voice was heard.

I turned my head and saw a woman wearing a pointed hat.

The light blue hair with a slight shade of light blew in the wind.

It was Brigitte.

“It looks like you couldn’t even eat and were starving? The restaurant is crowded on a day like today, so you have to get a seat in advance. But Judas, you can’t have that kind of sense.”

“Ugh… .”

“I know you will. I packed a lunch box this morning. I forgot to tell you that I was in a hurry to go to work earlier, so I cooled down a bit… .”

Shuk-.

It was Brigitte holding out a square box.

“Come on, spread the mat! I still have a little bit of time to write and practice!”

We spread the mat Brigitte had brought.

Then I sat down on it and opened the boxes one by one.

“Ow shack, sandwiches! Naru likes sandwiches! It even has pork cutlet inside!”

Naru really liked it.

He hurriedly started eating, but he wasn’t like the kid who said, “I won’t be hungry when I’m with my dad!”

I was hungry too.

“Thanks Brigitte! I wish Brigitte was my mother… ! Brigitte is pretty, sweet and kind… !”

Naru shouted.

Then Brigitte blushed in embarrassment.

“You wish you were a mother? You’re not being mean to say things like that. Wouldn’t your mother be sad to hear it? Well, if I were a real mother, it wouldn’t be a problem… .”

“But it doesn’t taste very good… ! Mom was good at cooking… !”

“… This little guy… .”

“Naru’s mother is a very good cook, so her father liked it… !”

“It’s good to be good at cooking. Because I can only do fried eggs. Indeed, my wife was a good cook.”

“huh… ! I’m sorry. because i can’t cook But, if I ate it when it was cold or when it was warm, it would have tasted better than now… !”

is it?

I was still good enough.

Compared to me, Naru has a more luxurious taste than she looks.

After all, Brigitte was a sensible friend, so I lived.

I almost starved.

When you finish eating and drinking tea.

Brigitte, pouring tea into a teacup, asked me.

“So, did the interview go well? Honestly, I’m dying of curiosity.”

“that… .”

I used Barbara’s Biggie “Tribble Sea Anemone” and babbled only at the core. After hearing the story, Brigitte laughed.

“What is that! slaughter? It’s because you teach the kid weird words. oh wow, really Still, if those strict interview professors didn’t say ‘failure’ in front of their faces, it means that the interview was passed.”

“yes?”

how did you pass

Did everyone recognize Naru’s kindness and greatness?

The evaluation of the faculty is higher.

pass

Only then could I breathe a sigh of relief.

“Bree, I guess you have to do a lot of preparation to become a parent. It’s not easy to be honest. It’s as difficult as breaking through the Demon Castle.”

“Is that enough?”

“My mom and dad thought I was very comfortable raising me. My house is completely neglectful, so when I was young, I didn’t go to my friend’s house for a week.”

“Well, I think you’ve heard that Barbarois raise their children to be strong.”

“Bar… Well, hit that. Then how was your house? Did you just have a curfew at your house? If you come in late, will you be whipped?”

Brigitte was a young lady.

Of course that was my guess.

Brigitte’s behavior was classy and elegant in a world overflowing with ignorant people.

Perhaps it was the daughter of a fairly high-ranking family?

It is because he entered Graham Academy in the first place and went through an elite course until he was given a ‘color’.

I heard that being a wizard requires a lot of money.

“… … .”

But Brigitte didn’t answer me.

A gap of about 5 seconds.

I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but the guy’s expression looked a little dark.

did you ask something

Come to think of it, I had no idea how Brigitte lived.

match-.

Soon, Brigitte clapped as if to cheer up the atmosphere.

“Then, now there are written and practical exams left. Writing is… At least you just have to get over the error. The rest will work out somehow. You’re doing your best, okay?”
