My Daughters Have Regressed

006 – Is my daughter a genius?

006 – Is my daughter a genius?

“I’m just going to do some simple tests. Physical abilities and that and that.”

“Naru, I’m ready!”

Naru was excited as if she liked the new children’s gym clothes.

It was a white top and red shorts, but it looked good to be active.

The shoes were also made of leather and looked similar to modern sneakers.

This is a part where you can get a glimpse of the technological prowess of the Principality of Phrygia.

“First of all, shall we start with a 100-meter run?”

Brigitte came out with a chart and checked something with a ballpoint pen.

Soon, Naru stood on the playground where the line was drawn.

Chak-.

It seems quite plausible to strike a crouching pose even though no one told me.

“Is that my daughter?”

It was smart indeed.

If you look like me, you will surely be good at running.

The black-haired people were good at running, so much so that there was a joke that Barbarois who couldn’t run were already caught by the guards and all died.

“Then, prepare, land!”

With Brigitte’s signal, Naru ran.

That figure kicking the ground with a pababat—.

“Slow.”

why are you so slow

Even considering that he was a 6-year-old kid, it was slow.

Even going well, I tripped and fell alone.

“hehehehe… !”

Quadang-.

“Blood, blood ah… ! I’m bleeding… ! hehehe… !”

Do you even cry out loud?

It sounded like a fire engine siren.

“Yeah, what. You may not be able to run.”

I nodded.

All that remains is push-ups and sit-ups.

“Ha, Hanaaa… .”

But this didn’t work either.

can’t do one

“… Is this my daughter?”

Something must be wrong.

Contrary to how lively Naru looked, she couldn’t exercise at all.

Brigitte also opened her eyes narrowly at this unexpected result.

“If this is the case, if the written score is low, it seems that admission to school will go through the water. You should be able to do at least ten of them. If it was the daughter of Judas, she would have expected to do this much. Hey, is this really your daughter?”

I also suddenly lost my confidence.

While I was unable to answer, Naru stood up.

Then he grabbed my pants and started crying again.

“… Naru, daughter of Judas! don’t throw away… ! Uhhhhh!”

I cry really sadly.

Did you think I’d leave you alone because I couldn’t do push-ups?

… To be honest, I was a little worried.

As much as ant tears.

“okay okay. Do not cry. stop.”

I really don’t know what to do when my child is crying.

When I stroked her hair, Naru let out a sniffle as if genuinely.

Looking at that, Brigitte said.

“Well, the only thing left is the magic aptitude test. If your daughter is right, I think it’s mana. Yuda, your magic aptitude is 0. Magic is born through bloodline—”

Shuk-.

Brigitte said pessimistically, but brought something like a big bucket from somewhere.

It was full of water.

It was not plain water, but a slightly viscous white substance.

It’s like milk.

“It is pure magical water that has not been manipulated in any way. I usually measure mana with this. Of course, normal magic water is a bit more transparent and colorless, but someone like me can get a pure white one like this.”

“yes?”

I don’t know what he’s talking about, but he nodded because he thought it was something great.

Then, as if Brigitte was more excited, she recited a funny story.

“If the test subject has a talent for magic, this white color will change like this.”

Shuk-.

Brigitte dipped her index finger into the bucket.

Then, the magic water that was like white milk instantly turned black as if it had been sprinkled with ink. And then it simmers.

It was very, very ominous, like boiling tar.

Looking at that scene, Brigitte said, “Well, it’s like this,” as if mocking herself.

From what I’ve heard, the color that Brigitte was bestowed upon ascending to the throne was ‘black’.

I knew it was because the magic she used was a black type of destructive magic.

Of course, Brigitte didn’t seem to like her color.

That’s why I, the dark-haired Barbara, hate it too.

I myself did not express myself.

Because if you live for a long time, there is a law that you will understand even if you do not speak.

“Wow, black. Black color… ! It’s the same color as Naru’s hair… ! Black as black as night… !”

Naru was overjoyed to see the bucket full of black magic water.

do you like black?

I remember liking the color yellow when I was that age.

I remember getting scolded for scribbling a lot on the walls of my house with yellow crayons—.

No, this is not important.

Chow ah-.

Brigitte dumped the water from the bucket onto the floor.

“There are five colors: red, blue, yellow, orange, and black. Depending on the strength of the magical power, there may be some color depth or variation.”

Ssss-.

While watching the black water permeate the playground, Brigitte, who had just refilled it, held out a bucket in front of Naru.

“Dip your hands in it and release your mana. If you have magical powers, you will instinctively know how to emit them, so there is no need to tell you, right?”

How to radiate magic.

I didn’t know that.

It was said that people on this continent of Pangea take it for granted that they eat and breathe, but I am a 21st-century Korean, so I had no idea what it was.

Then what about Naru?

Naru is a child who seems to have been born in this land.

“Hey, hey, hey… !”

with a plop-.

Naru put her hand in the bucket and made a very serious expression.

“Guuu…” !”

It seems like someone who puts up with something.

I asked Naru.

“Naruya, do you want to go to the bathroom? Would you like a tissue?”

“Ugh, no!!!”

Or not.

why are you angry

Wasn’t my personality that angular?

Does that personality resemble your mother?

Because I really want to see who my mother is.

Are you the type of woman who is usually wise but gets angry when angry?

nice

A few minutes passed like that.

Brigitte immediately shook her head and took the bucket away.

The water in the bucket remained white with only small ripples on the fingers.

Seeing that, Brigitte narrowed her eyes.

“You don’t seem to have any magic talent. This is the same as you, Judas. However, it’s a famous story that dark-haired people don’t have any talent for magic, so there’s nothing special about it.”

is it.

Anyway, Naru’s skill test ended with this feeling.

To be honest, I didn’t feel much.

It just feels like that.

No, to be honest, how much talent do you have at the age of six?

As you grow up and become a good person, that’s enough.

So I wasn’t disappointed or angry.

Even though Naru was depressed.

“Naru, I have no talent… .”

You look a little pitiful.

I said that to Naruto.

“it’s okay. When I was young, I would finish last every day when I ran.”

So I hated sports day.

All the parents come to see it, but it’s really embarrassing to be last.

It was a time when I was comforting Naru, thinking of myself at that time.

Tsut-.

Brigitte clicked her tongue.

“I think it will be really difficult to enter the school at this rate. I’d rather use my hands a little and change the written test sheet… .”

Are you saying that a person called a hero in the world is going to deny a six-year-old kid admission?

What are you even doing that for?

Perhaps he felt the unique curiosity of wizards about the ‘space-time magic’ that was entangled with Naru. Wizards like that.

Maybe that’s why he wanted Naru by his side.

Like guinea pigs and test subjects.

“… … .”

Wait a minute.

Is it okay to put Naru next to Brigitte?

– A person from the future. You can’t miss this rare ingredient. Shall we lightly split the skull and dissect it?

– hehehehe… ! Dad is asking to save this naru soon… !

“… … .”

Considering that wizards are mostly geeks, it was quite possible!

It was for the same reason that I played Judas of Barbaria, not from another world!

What if I, a person from another world, were to be captured, dissected, and experimented on?

It seemed like it would be better not to talk about the fact that Naru came from the future.

Shouldn’t it be better to tell Brigitte?

“Then, I’ll take care of some magic water and come back.”

Shuk-.

Brigitte was absent.

Naru and I are now left on the playground.

time with nothing to do.

No, there are things to do.

“I need to find out what’s going on here. Brigitte is hiding something. That’s what I mean. Shall we go on an adventure after a long time?”

“adventure… !?”

Naru’s eyes lit up.

* * *

Challangchallang-.

White water glistened in the bucket Brigitte was holding in her hand.

It is a very pure white color.

Pure magical power is so clean and white.

The realm that all wizards pursue was so pure.

But Brigitte was not in a good mood.

Black is the furthest away from white.

Because that was the color of Brigitte.

Her magic power was pitch black.

How much discrimination did you receive because of that from a young age?

Black is ominous and irregular.

It was the public perception that there was no magician who excelled in black.

Brigitte’s application for the Devil Castle Breakthrough Party was actually to enhance her prestige. To make sure no one looks down on you being black.

As a result.

Brigitte became a great mage and was even given the title of ‘The Wizard of the Black Jewel’.

How much time has passed since then.

Did Brigitte’s life get better?

“Look at that, Brigitte-sama.”

“Are you a great person?”

“But, I am a little scared. He said he wields destructive magic powerful enough to destroy an entire platoon… ?”

“A black magician… .”

Look, it feels like this.

Brigitte worked hard to be recognized by everyone, but that effort further alienated her from people.

“huh.”

of course.

Brigitte was a lofty elite, so she didn’t even care about gossip.

Now that he had broken through the Demon Castle, he was even somewhat proud of himself.

“I thought it was the same color as the black night sky.”

Naru had said that while looking at what was put in the bucket earlier.

Surprisingly, it was very similar to what Judas, an old colleague of his, said when he saw his magic.

-Your magic is just like the night sky. The darkness of night is great for a rogue like me to hide. You and I seem to have a pretty good compatibility, how is it?

– Ha… ? I’m a graduate of Graham Academy! How do I, the elite of the elite, get along well with a wanted thief like you? Why is the rogue at the end of the party and not the demon hunter… .

It was when we first met.

It felt like a very long time ago.

“At that time, we were complete idiots.”

Come to think of it, Judas didn’t pay any attention to Brigitte’s use of black magic. I didn’t say anything scary or disrespectful.

“This is the first time Judas has treated me without hesitation.”

Is it the night sky?

Brigitte wanted to face her own color once again.

So I went into an alley where no one was looking and put my finger in the bucket.

A sparkling white bucket.

Now, if you radiate magic, it will be colored like the black night sky.

It was the time when he was releasing his mana to see it.

“… … ?”

Brigitte felt something strange.

That’s right, the color of the magic beast that consumed Brigitte’s pure black magic was still white.

“This happened… .”

The pure white magic water was a mutable substance.

In the case that something like that retains its pure whiteness even after receiving Brigitte’s magical power… .

… There is about one.

That this white color has already undergone a change.

It meant that it was after someone had already colored the magic water in this bucket white.

“… Nonsense!”

it’s white

It was a color that could not exist for humans in this world.

Did Naru, who claims to be the daughter of Judas, harbor such a thing?

Brigitte was amazed as a wizard, but at the same time began to have forebodings as a hero protecting the village.

‘Yuda, what the hell did you get involved in?’

Naru said that he returned to the past 6 years ago to prevent danger in the world.

It must mean that dangerous things will happen from ‘now’ to the next six years.

‘Could it be that Judas came to Graham Academy to stop that?’

Brigitte thought of her old colleague Judas.

He was a man with many secrets, but he was a much more capable man than I thought.

I liked to take care of everything alone silently.

perhaps.

He may have come to know that ‘terrible things’ are going on under the shadows in this academy and in the Kingdom of Phrygia.

The person in question pretended not to know, but in fact, he might have been trying to prevent Brigitte from getting involved in something dangerous.

No, definitely will.

Because that’s Judas.

“Then, as expected, Naru’s mother… .”
