226 – They Say It’s Not Over Until It’s Over! #One
226 – They say it’s not over until it’s over! # 1
Tywin was greatly surprised.
Cecily ended up failing.
‘No, actually, I vaguely expected it…’
Cecily preferred going out to play rather than studying.
To meet her friend her her her Melody her, she enjoyed aristocratic leisure activities such as going to Stegmaia, a principality in the other world, and going on a hunting ground with the thunder eagle Elizabeth.
Tywin gave classes to the other children for an hour every day, making them sit on books and chairs, but Hina was the only one who listened intently.
Naru looked at the butterflies flying outside her window and said, “I guess spring has already come!” She was the type to be distracted, and Cecily was the type to doze off.
“… Sorry. “I should have made you study harder.”
Tywin bowed his head to the adults.
Of course, among the adults, there was no one who could blame Tywin.
Tywin taught his children diligently.
It’s just that Cecily didn’t pay attention to her classes.
Of course, Cecily’s mother, Garot, was greatly embarrassed.
“You mean Cecily failed?”
Garrot put his hands into Cecily’s sides and lifted her high into the air. Cecily sank downwards, as do the felines lifted above her.
Garrot rocked Cecily back and forth.
Then she seemed to hear something rolling around in Cecily’s little head.
“Not even Naru, but Cecily is an idiot… !”
Garot was greatly shocked.
Soon Bridget, who had been quietly listening to her story, put down her fork and frowned.
“What does that mean? It’s not even Naru—. Naru isn’t an idiot either? Naru is just… It’s just that my perspective on living the world is different from others. Right?”
“Narubigi, eat bananas all the time!”
Naru was peeling her banana and stuffing it into her mouth. It looked like a squirrel stuffing almonds into her mouth to gather food for the winter.
Why on earth do they eat like that?—Brigitte was lost in thought for a moment.
‘When Naru was three years old, she seemed a little distracted after falling from the persimmon tree… No. Is it because she fell from an orange tree when she was 4? Or maybe when she was 5 she fell from a ginkgo tree and… ?’
Naru liked to climb to high places and then jump down.
Brigitte thought it was the aftermath of those hobbies and games that Naru became interested in something other than her studies, but she soon stopped thinking.
In Brigitte’s eyes, Naru was a cute and loving child, and whatever she did, she was willing to forgive.
“Our Naru has a kind heart. Right? Naru can do whatever he wants!”
Sseukseu-.
When Brigitte was hugging her naru and rubbing her cheeks, Salome said something.
“Naru and Cecily didn’t study because you were just cuddling and making fun of them every day. Sometimes you have to spank the stick of love for children to grow well. Look at our Hina. How calm and obedient are you?”
Hina was sitting quietly cutting her meat with a knife.
She looked so elegant that you couldn’t believe she was just turning 6 years old.
Salome said she had to beat Hina with the rod of love, but in fact she had never beaten Hina.
Hina was an honor student from the time she was born, so she was good at everything and loved being praised by her mom and dad, so she led by example.
However, Garot frowned at her.
“Hina, when she was young, she ate her breasts so much that I held her and raised her most of the time. Salome, the reason Cecily doesn’t listen to her very well is probably because of the milk you fed her… It must be because I have a rebel element!”
“What? “What kind of nonsense is that?”
Salome frowned.
When she was a baby, Hina definitely didn’t try to drink Salome’s milk.
I thought it was just because babies are capricious and can’t talk, but she suddenly became curious.
Why did Hina prefer to be hugged by Garot or Brigitte?
“… Hey, Hina… Molu.”
Hina, who was eating her meal, put down her fork and knife.
Then she said, “I have to get ready for school,” And she went upstairs.
Anyway.
It was a great misfortune for Cecily to meet her failings.
If this were to continue, Cecily would enter school next year, and it was clear that she would be one grade behind children like Naruna Hina.
The fact that children who are close friends and were born on the same day and at the same time are in different grades is literally a world-class catastrophe.
When I was thinking about whether there was a way, Erzsebet said.
“It’s not too late! In fact, the reason I found out today’s score is because I used my dad’s authority to make provisional scores! The test papers are still safely sealed in the school desk!”
What Erzsebet meant was clear.
They said that because the grading of the test had not been officially completed, the results could be changed.
So to speak, like changing the test paper.
“… Erzsebet, are you serious about that?”
Tywin looked at her 12-year-old friend Erzébet, with some dismay.
The Erzébet that Tywin knew was a girl who liked to work hard and be honest, but he wondered how she ended up like this.
Of course, I liked Erzébet’s honesty of her.
“… Hehe, if I can go to school happily with Naru, I can do anything!”
Erzsebet liked Naru.
Even though they couldn’t take classes together because Naru was in the first year of elementary school and Erzébet was in the first year of middle school, it was a pleasure just to be on the same school grounds.
Looking at Erzsebet like that, Tywin slightly broke into a cold sweat.
‘Hergé, we will repeat grades for the next six years so that when Naru becomes a first year middle school student, she will be in the same classroom – you don’t think the same way, do you?’
It was a story that Erzsebet would have thought about now, but Tywin made an effort not to pay attention to it.
What’s important now is to avoid Cecily’s mistakes.
Now everyone looked at Judas’ face.
Judah was watching her family’s conversation as if watching TV, and when her eyes turned to her, she clenched and unclenched her hands.
“It’s been a while since I stole. I don’t know if I can demonstrate my skills well. So all we have to do is add the answers to Cecily’s test sheet?”
# # #
I sat still and lost in thought.
In fact, it wasn’t difficult to make Cecily pass.
Ilghast is like my friend, so I can ask at least one Cecily to pass.
Also, even without such a request, there was a high probability that Graham Academy would invite Cecily as a “Special scholarship student” Or something.
Cecily is very picky and picky, but she has a cute side that can be forgiven.
However, he specifically agreed to Cecil stealy’s answer sheet.
Because she thought it was time to teach her children how to make up for their own mistakes.
“Cecily, you made a mistake and the whole family came forward to cover for you. You must always be aware of the impact your actions will have on your family.”
I gave Cecily a little advice.
Cecily, who had failed, looked like she wanted to make an excuse, but she pursed her lips.
With that feeling, we headed to Graham Academy.
Graham Academy maintained a fairly strict security system, and on every street corner of the campus, owls and owls were sitting on perches with their eyes shining.
“Is it a surveillance bird?”
Garot pretended to know.
According to Garot, those birds are like living CCTV.
“You must not defeat or kill those guys. Those who manipulate animals will notice. I will neutralize it. Mmmm, ah─. Hmm. “When mom goes to pick ghouls in the nightshade—.”
Garot sang a strange lullaby.
When I thought it was amazing that the tone was better than I expected, I saw owls and owls falling asleep. Taking advantage of that opportunity, Garot shouted softly.
“I have to keep singing. Go quickly.”
We ran among the owls that had been put to sleep.
The main building appeared soon.
There was something like a ‘seal’ talisman attached to the closed building, making it difficult to break in.
Brigitte spoke in the pitch-black darkness in front of the entrance.
“I was there when this sealing talisman was made. It would be easy to completely neutralize it, but then the security would be called.”
If security is called, things will get worse.
Brigitte said he could disable the seal in about 10 minutes. At that level, the security guard will not be called.
“Pause.”
Brigitte raised her palm and cast a spell on the amulet attached to the entrance.
Wow – the amulet glowed blue.
“I have to focus on my magical power, so you guys go on your own. As I said again, you only have 10 minutes to spare.”
It was like that.
Now the only adults left are me and Salome.
Actually, two was enough.
When I entered the building with that feeling, there were laser traps installed in the hallways and stairs of the building. Salome said while I was wondering why the security at school would be so tight.
“Graham Academy was the center of the ‘Great Destruction.’ Because there was a lot of important research data, thieves were frequent there. To neutralize it, you must operate this trap disarmer and solve the problem every five minutes.”
Zek-.
Salome pointed with her hand at a strange computer-like device.
When I manipulated it skillfully, letters appeared on the flat screen.
「8 + 1 = 97
5 + 5 = 100
4 + 2 = 62
7 + 3 = ?」
What’s the problem?
Soon Salome wrote down the answer.
“104.”
I don’t know why it was 104, but soon the following problems appeared on the screen.
Salome said.
“Go quickly. “I have to solve the next problem in 5 minutes.”
We took advantage of the laser trap loosening and ran down the hallway.
The staff room of the main building appeared soon.
As I went inside and was rummaging through the desks, Tywin said.
“Usually grading is done by the head teacher of the year. There is a high probability that the answer sheet is on the desk of the head teacher, Hegel.”
At Tywin’s words, we searched through the desk of Head Teacher Hegel.
Then, countless answer sheets were placed in envelopes, and I succeeded in carefully tearing off the envelopes.
I finally got my hands on the test paper with Cecily’s name written on it.
In Cecily’s test paper, all the answers were numbered 4.
In other words, it was taken with one problem.
“Why did you do this?”
When I asked, Cecily said softly.
“I like the number 4…”
I see.
I need to change my answer quickly—it was time to think that way.
Kuuuuung-.
I felt a big vibration.
When we looked at the entrance to the teacher’s office to see what was going on, we saw a rather large shadow looking at us.
“I can’t believe a thief boldly entered the place that this body guards. It’s actually quite a welcoming face. Judah, it’s been quite a while, hasn’t it?”
She was a woman dressed in black leather.
Her body revealed under the leather clothes was quite thick.
Feeling closer to a warrior than a woman.
In reality, she was a female warrior.
“Queen.”
The hero’s party’s destroyer queen.
I thought I had been wandering the world for years, but I never thought I would meet in a place like this.
I said.
“It’s between us, just pretend you didn’t see it.”
“You can’t do that. Because I was also hired by this school for a special mission. “If you want me to pretend I didn’t see you, then compete with me!”
Queen guy.
As always, you like fighting.
I decided to deal with the queen.
The children can correct their test papers while I take time.
Pot-.
At that time, something jumped out next to Queen.
“Master, I’ll take care of the kids!”
It was a booming voice.
It was a girl with her hair tied into pigtails and an eyepatch over her right eye.
Are you about 6 years old this year?
