chapter 4
004 – I have a bad head because I look like someone # 2
004 – I’m stupid for being like someone # 2
“A friend of Brigitte?”
“If it’s Brigitte’s acquaintance… Maybe the demon lord subjugation party… .”
People’s eyes were gathering.
I had a hunch that being here would make me a nuisance, so I decided to leave with Brigitte and Naru for now.
“Is there a place nearby where we can talk quietly?”
“There is! my lab! But what are you doing here! You who hated school or studying? Come on, maybe you came to see me… ?”
“No, I didn’t even know you were here!”
“What!?”
Brigitte frowned.
the guy shouted.
“I must have told you more than four times that I was from Graham Academy! He must have said five times that he wanted to return to his hometown and teach the children after defeating the Demon King!”
Was it
Sval, I don’t remember.
It was because everyone was in a state of disorientation before entering the castle.
What should I say at the time?
was a little crazy
It wasn’t my mind.
Maybe that’s why I don’t remember what happened then.
“… … .”
I don’t know.
anyway.
With that feeling, I headed to the place called Naruwa Lab.
It was a place full of magic tools.
Naru reacted to the bubbling bubble.
“Ohhhhh… !”
“Little boy, don’t touch me carelessly. Are they terrifying magic tools? If you carelessly touch it, you might turn into a cat or a squirrel!”
“Ohhh!”
No, it makes me more interested because it scares me.
Frankly, I’m interested too.
If you turn into a squirrel, will you become popular with women?
I want to drink it.
As I was thinking about that, Brigitte, who served the tea, sat down on the sofa in front of me.
Now that I look at it, I see that her hair has been tied up and her face has been tidied up with makeup.
When we went on adventures together, we seemed to be indecisive, but looking at it like this, it definitely feels like a member of society?
“So, what is it? who is he your brother? Could it be that you came here to enroll your little brother into this Graham Academy?”
“ah. Even if you don’t, there was something I wanted to ask you. Brigitte, I don’t know much about magic, but do you know about magic?”
“under? What do you think of this Brigitte von Walpurgis? Whoever knows more about magic than I do has fewer than five fingers in the whole world!”
It was Brigitte, proudly sticking out her chest.
I wondered if Naru would react to that chest.
Naru was busy laughing while looking at the frog in the beaker.
then said
“Dad! There are frogs!”
“Yes, there are frogs.”
Everything looks strange.
Was I like that when I was that age?
As I thought about that and looked back at my memories, there was a beeping sound.
When I wondered if Brigitte had forgotten to put the kettle on.
Brigitte, who was sitting right in front of me, was blushing and blowing white steam from the top of her head.
Beep-.
“What is it, explosion magic?”
“Dad, it’s… ! You you you, you you you! What happened! you! Daddy yeee… !”
“Ah, that’s a bit of a problem.”
“If it’s the case, it’s that there was something pale and gooey… !? this beast! devil! savage! Barbara! cannibals!”
no.
Cause he’s always like this
I can’t say anything.
“You said I didn’t have a girlfriend! But how can my daughter… , ah, is that it? I don’t have a girlfriend, but I have a wife I left behind in my hometown—is that so? Ho ho ho ho.”
Brigitte’s tone softened.
Not good.
I quickly decided to explain.
“listen. Whatever you imagine, everything will be wrong. I feel like my head is going to explode too. You are the only one I can talk to about this matter.”
now he’s the only one
Honestly, I think it would be better to consult with the other kids.
But, as if my appeal had worked, Brigitte said, “Hm, well, I’m the only one. Your human relationship is narrow, because you know everything?” he grumbled.
anyway.
I said to Brigitte, who seemed a little calm.
Biggie Barbara.
Tiny sea anemones!
For your information, 「Cheerful sea anemone」 was my speech skill that allowed me to explain the situation by pointing out only the key points. According to my brain, it’s a C-class skill.
“Huh… . So, your daughter from the future came back from the past?”
“yes. Also, Brigitte. You understand quickly.”
“i get it. I know what’s going on.”
Five.
Brigitte seemed to have already figured out the answer.
As expected, he is a great mage who is within the top five fingers in the world.
It seems like a person who was praised and called “wise Brigitte”!
I thought you were just a tomboy, but you do it when you do it!
As I was about to look up to her with that thought, Brigitte stood up.
Then, he grabbed the cheek of Naru, who was watching the frog in the beaker, and pulled it.
“hehehehe… !”
“You kid, where do you tell such ridiculous lies? The magic of going back in time? There can be no such thing! Judas, you are being deceived! to him!”
“hehehehe… ! Dad wants this naru to be saved quickly… !”
What?
Is it different from what I expected?
Listening to Brigitte’s words, this situation seemed to be a ‘nonsense story’.
In other words, it was a reasonable guess that Naru was lying.
however.
I knew that Naru had white clover spots.
It wasn’t an artificial spot.
* * *
“Is this a nonsense story in the first place? People come from the future And think about it. Judas, do you think it is possible for you to get married?”
“Ugh… .”
To stab the most sensitive and sore spot.
Thinking that I was embarrassed, Brigitte added a sharp venom.
“I just heard about you. You said you tried to find someone to marry but failed in the end? Of course, not many women are brave enough to marry Barbaro!”
“Ugh… .”
“Well, of course, there might be at least one if you look for it. If you are a battle mage who has suffered under the same tent as a barbarian—— well, that doesn’t mean I am!”
“Yeah, I don’t think you are either.”
“What!?”
Brigitte blushed.
I just lay on the sofa and stared at Naru’s sleeping face.
Touching her red, swollen cheeks from being pinched by Brigitte, she said, “Huh… It looks pretty pitiful as he whimpers.
He said looking at the boy’s face.
“Naru didn’t respond to you. I guess you’re not Naru’s mother. You too, don’t you feel the bond between mother and daughter while watching Naru?”
“Of course not! Why am I marrying a stupid, dull, heartless savage like you!?”
It’s heartbreaking.
Brigitte is such a beauty that one can’t help but turn one’s eyes away.
Of course, when such a beautiful woman made sharp criticism, it was heartbreaking.
At the same time, I think I will have a strange hobby, but I just decide to pass it on.
After-, Brigitte finally let out a sigh.
“Judas, you. Do you believe that kid’s words?”
“Believe and sleep, and since you’re already entangled, there’s nothing you can do about it. If it’s a lie, you can somehow arrange a place for that child and shake your hands. If it’s real… , I wonder who my wife is.”
hehehehe-.
I think I will laugh at the fact that I had a wife like a wise mother in my future.
Brigitte said soon.
“Well, it’s true that you can feel powerful magical traces from Naru. Maybe that’s why the confusion of memories is coming. You said you seemed to feel something at this academy, right?”
“Uh, so what?”
“Then, let’s go to school for a while.”
“I? no. What is school at this age?”
“No, Yuda, not you, but that little boy named Naru!”
“I will say that sooner or later. And don’t be angry Do you get wrinkles?”
“Yeah, I really… After that, let’s not talk. If I go over, only I will lose. Yes, anyway, I can accept your papers with my authority. Of course, you have to do the exam properly.”
indeed.
It was the moment when the word “I like colleagues” came to mind.
Colleague love, country love!
“Brie, I live because of you!”
“What, what are you talking about? Hmmm, well, I don’t know if that little boy named Naru will pass the exam. Did you say 6 years old? You know how to memorize a multiplication table, right?”
“I don’t know.”
“Are you saying you’re his father? Don’t you know that?”
“No, it’s only been about a week since we met.”
It was time to quarrel with Brigitte for a while.
Naru, who was lying on the sofa, opened her eyes.
“Yes? Are you mom? mom?”
Naru looked at Brigitte with sleepy eyes.
Brigitte, who met that gaze, was startled and looked left and right, not knowing what to do.
“What, what is it? why are you staring Why am I your mother? Do you, by any chance, look alike?”
Naru said to Brigitte.
“Ah, looking back after waking up, I don’t think I’m a mother at all!”
“… i can’t live Anyway, I’ll make a book of expected questions with a similar difficulty level and feel to the entrance exam, so give it a try.”
“Ugh, I don’t like studying… .”
Naru was disgusted.
But Brigitte presents a question paper like a strict teacher.
Snip, snip-.
some time after that.
“Eight points.”
Brigitte said.
Wouldn’t it be great if it was 8 out of 10? Brigitte adds a comment when thinking about it.
“8 out of 100 points. You can’t even do basic arithmetic, let alone a multiplication table, right?”
“Ta, Naru doesn’t know that. You said you don’t need to know if you have the power. Dad… .”
why look at me
But, it was something I would have said.
If you have the power, you don’t have to do math.
It’s a good thing that when you’re strong, your head doesn’t suffer.
And in the first place, how does a 6-year-old do the multiplication tables?
When I was thinking about this, Brigitte spoke as if she had read my thoughts.
“Are you ignoring Graham Academy? Graham Academy is a training center for elites with a thousand-year history. No one can get in easily.”
“Hmm… .”
“Well, if you don’t pass the entrance exam, you’ll be kicked out of here and you’re looking for that mother. That’s the end of the story. I helped you enough to help you, so don’t say anything else later.”
Brigitte was right.
What’s sad is that we… , No, it’s on my side.
complicated in many ways
I haven’t eaten anything since morning, so I’m hungry.
Originally, when you’re too hungry, people’s nerves become sensitive and your head doesn’t work well.
It would be nice to eat something at a time like this, so I got up.
“Can I borrow the kitchen? It looks like the lab has a kitchen too.”
“as you please. You want to fry an egg? You can only cook, fry eggs.”
Brigitte giggles.
As she said, I was really bad at cooking.
The only thing I know how to do is fried eggs.
Brigitte said soon.
““Then half-sleep. Don’t touch the yolk.”
The two voices overlapped.
When I looked curiously, Naru and Brigitte were looking into each other’s eyes.
Did you just place the same order?
Accident?
