My Daughters Have Regressed

228 – They Say It’s Not Over Until It’s Over! #3

228 – They say it’s not over until it’s over! # 3

Children in first grade elementary school are small and cute.

Sometimes he doesn’t listen to what he says and is a bit slow, but it was to the point where he could be viewed as cute.

“What did I do in first grade?”

I tried to remember my first year of elementary school.

However, except for the very unfamiliar “Entrance Ceremony” And the first dance class I learned, “Sizzling Jam Jam,” Nothing in particular came to mind.

Well, when I was in the first grade of elementary school, everything was fun yet unfamiliar, so it felt like it passed by without a moment to figure out what was what.

Looking back, the first year of elementary school went by too quickly.

It seemed to be the same for children like Naru, Hina, and Cecily.

“Naru, it seems like you entered school not long ago, but you’re already done with your first year! Starting tomorrow, Naru is also 7 years old! Oh wow! Naru I like 7 because it’s my lucky number!”

It was Naru raising his hand

Bridgette, who was looking at Naru’s exam paper, frowned slightly.

“But Naru, you should write the answer here to find out what 7 plus 501 is.”

“Naru likes 7! You should not add or subtract other numbers from the lucky number 7. !”

Wow, Naru ran out of the study room.

During Naru’s vacation this winter, she fell from a pear tree, and since then Naru has become very active and can’t sit still even for a moment.

“Naru, isn’t there some problem?”

As Brigitte looked at her Naru’s test paper, she hummed in concern. It was like an attitude of melting ice cream.

I said this to reassure Brigitte.

“The results of the diagnosis say you are very healthy and strong. “Children naturally become healthy and strong by running around and playing like that.”

“But I’m in my second year now. Graham Academy’s regular curriculum actually begins in earnest in the second year. Will Naru be able to keep up with her children?”

Well, I don’t know about that either.

But why did the word ‘second year’ feel so unfamiliar? I felt a strange tingling in my back and waist.

It felt like someone was scratching my back with their hand.

Sseukseu-.

“… Dad…”

But now I see that someone was really scratching my back with their hand

Hina worked hard at everything.

“Hina, why?”

“Mom took the New Year’s money…”

I see.

The continent of Pangea recently entered the new year.

On the first day of the new year, relatives came and bowed to the children and gave them New Year’s money, but it seemed that Salome had taken Hina’s.

“Why?”

“… My mom saved it… They said they would give it to me later…”

It was a story that likely existed somewhere.

Hina usually did n’t complain or ask for anything, but this time she seemed very impressed that her mother had taken away her New Year’s money.

Now that things have come to this, I have to take action.

I went to Salome’s room and spoke.

“Why did you take Hina’s New Year’s money?”

“I didn’t steal it. I’m just taking care of it for a while. It’s too much money for Hina, so I’m taking care of it. “Isn’t 5.5 million Renais too much for New Year’s money for someone who is only 7 years old?”

5.5 million ren.

It was roughly equivalent to 5 million won.

Considering that prices in this world are slightly cheaper, it was actually a lot more money than 5 million won.

“It’s definitely a lot of money for 7-year-old Hina to have.”

“Right?”

“Hey… !”

Hina couldn’t hold it in the end and trembled.

There was something to be said about her because she was very restless.

“Is there anything you wanted with money?”

“…”

It was Hina shaking her head.

If you said there was something you wanted, I was going to spend my own money to buy it for you.

Soon Salome spoke.

“Hina just likes money.”

I see.

I seemed to be similar to Salome in terms of liking money.

Zek-.

I took out a gold coin worth 1 million Renais from my pocket.

When I held it out to Hina, Hina’s eyes widened.

“Oh!”

“You have to use it sparingly.”

“I’m not using it… I’m going to put it in my treasure trove… !”

Pababat-.

As Hina said that, she ran somewhere.

‘Treasure warehouse.’

It was quite an unfamiliar word to come out of children’s mouths.

When I felt puzzled, Salome said.

“Not long ago, when the kids turned one year older, we started making treasure troves together. The reason I asked for my New Year’s money back was probably to put it in the treasure trove.”

Is it like a secret base just for children?

They put toys like dolls in it and do that.

When I was young, I also had the experience of taking out all the clothes in the closet, putting various things in it, and then going into the dark room alone and giggling.

Hina, Naru, and Cecily are already of that age.

“Where is that treasure trove?”

I asked.

Then Salome shrugged her shoulders.

“I don’t know either. Basically, a treasure trove is something that should be kept secret from others. If you’re curious, ask the kids. “I won’t tell you.”

I guess so.

I went to Naru, who was climbing a persimmon tree in the garden.

Naru climbed to the top of the persimmon tree and felt good smelling the high air.

Come on!

Naru spread his hands.

Soon Naru looked at me and jumped towards the floor.

“Dad!”

I caught Naru in the air and held her in his arms

Of course, even if I hadn’t received it, Morumoru would have blocked it like a cushion.

“Naru, I heard you have a treasure trove?”

“… !”

Naru looked quite shocked.

Then he quietly got out of my arms and spread the distance between us.

“… Naru is Molu.”

Oh my.

Do you want to keep it a secret even from me?

Until recently, my dad was the best! The kids who said the same thing made me a secret.

“Naru will not be forgotten… !”

Wababat-.

Naru said something strange and ran away somewhere.

I asked Tywin, who was watching from the side.

“Tywin, do you know where the children’s secret warehouse is?”

“I know, but I can’t tell you. I promised. Usually, girls like to keep secrets of various kinds when they turn seven years old. “Secrets make a girl more mysterious and beautiful.”

I see.

The kids are already 7 years old.

I’ve reached the age where I have secrets that I can’t even tell my parents.

Naru left the garden and ran out of the city into the nearby forest.

This place is called “Fairy Forest.”

The reason it was called that name was because nymphs appeared frequently.

These days, it is also called “Children’s Forest.”

Of course, it was because children often wandered around the forest.

A peaceful and quiet winter forest.

When she was shivering from the cold, Anvil Moru, who had been hiding in Naru’s shadow, jumped out and wrapped himself around Naru’s neck like a scarf.

━Meow.

“Thank you, Morumoru!”

Naru expressed her gratitude to Moru, which was warm, soft, and smelled good.

Just this “Morumoru Scarf” Was enough for children to stay warm in the winter.

Pap deuk, pout deuk-.

Because of the snow that had recently fallen, I kept hearing interesting sounds from Naru’s toes.

As Naru ran, leaving footprints in the snow that no one had stepped on, he found small footprints that were similar to Naru’s.

“It’s Cecily!”

Wababat-.

Naru followed the footsteps and ran.

The place we arrived at was the entrance to a small cave.

Naru slowly entered the cave and felt that the cave was warmer than he expected and took off his Morumoru scarf.

After walking for a while, I heard the sound of people talking.

Naru went deeper into the cave and was finally able to reach a cavity where small candles were lit.

This was a hideout used by Zoro and his gang, who had previously been named the”Dawn Team.”

However, after Naru and her children drove them out, this place became a hideout for Naru, her sisters, and their friends.

An old chair and a table picked up from somewhere.

A map hanging on the wall.

Mirrors, etc.

Although it was full of miscellaneous things, Naru felt that this place was very cool and great.

“Cecily!”

Naru hugged Cecily, who was combing her hair while looking at her mirror.

Then, Cecily looked around her and asked in a quiet voice, “Isn’t there a follow-up?”

Naru nodded her head.

“No tailing!”

“These days, adults want to know the location of our secret base. Secrecy is a basic skill that a daughter of a noble family should have. It is something that should not be revealed carelessly.”

“Naru likes secrets too!”

While saying that, Naru approached her small chest.

It was full of pebbles that Naru had collected without her adults knowing.

There were many things that had quite unusual shapes, but they were nothing special.

“Hehe, Naru is rich!”

Pot-.

At that time, someone hurriedly ran to the children’s secret base.

It was Horohoro, an imp whose tail was gently swaying.

“Horohoro, I came here after hearing an interesting story! “A boy named Murta, a third-grade elementary school student, went on a New Year’s hunt and found a strange rock on a cliff!”

Strange stone.

Naru’s eyes lit up at that story.

Cecily, who was combing her hair she stopped her her hand her her her, perhaps because she was interested.

“Where is it?”

It was when Horohoro sighed in response to Cecily’s question.

Hina came in after Horo and held out a small bead in her hand.

“This bead. Little… It looks like a special bead… But it is not the “Fragment of memory” We are looking for.”

The children were slightly disappointed by Hina’s words

But because it was a pretty bead, Hina placed it on her shelf full of her own treasures.

Cheolrrrr-.

Hina immediately unfolded a map and placed it on her table.

She then drew an X with a large brush on several of the circles marked on the map.

“Another new treasure news… Is there? If she continues to search for treasures like this, she might be able to regain her father’s memories.”

At Hina’s words, the children looked at each other’s faces.

And then I started drawing circles on the map, one by one.

The sisters and children were collecting news about the treasure, exploring it themselves, and gathering the loot they had obtained in this cave.

Naru said.

“Now the map really looks like a treasure map! “I don’t know anything else, but this map is our treasure that should not be revealed to others!”

Doldoldol-.

As Naru was rolling up the map and tying it with her string, Cecily stood still.

It was because something seemed to come to mind when I heard the word “Treasure map.”

“7 years old… Treasure map…”
