134 – You can’t have it all! but… # 4

“Ow, shack… !”

Naruto felt good.

I couldn’t do my science homework because I was playing yesterday, but when I opened my eyes, my science homework was all done.

A packed notebook.

It was clear that someone had done all the homework for Naru while she was asleep.

“Morumoru?”

Could it be that Morumoru, who became the demiurge of science homework, helped?

Naru looked at Morumoru’s house just in case.

“Did Morumoru do his science homework? Morumoru, did you become the Demiurge of science homework as expected by Naru?”

Morumoru’s house was made by stacking fluffy cushions in Naru’s room, where Morumoru often hides when he gets bored of being in Naru’s shadow.

A dolmen made of cushions.

There was no Morumoru in it.

“Morumoru?”

Naru now went out to the garden and checked Morumoru’s rice bowl.

The fresh morning air woke Naru, who had just woken up.

Feel the air coming in through your nose and reaching your fingertips.

As I passed by the warm sunlight, like a summer morning, I saw a bowl full of animal feed, acorns, and sweets.

On the red rice bowl, crookedly written “Morumoru” was written.

It was a letter written by Naru when Morumoru became a family.

“Morumoru… .”

Morumoru’s rice bowl was still full.

It must be that Morumoru didn’t eat the feed.

“Morumoru, you must be hungry.”

Naru threw the contents of the dewy rice bowl into the trash can in the garden. Then, he went to the kitchen and brought food, snacks, and some fresh strawberries to refill Morumoru’s rice bowl.

“Morumoru! Eat food!”

Naru shouted to the surroundings.

In the past, Morumoru would have popped out with a strange cry of meow—or kungkong—but today it was quiet.

fluttering-.

Instead, there are only strange butterflies flying around.

It was a white butterfly.

“butterfly!”

Rather than saying that the color of the wing is white, it would be more accurate to say that it is shining like a little light bulb.

When it sat on Morumoru’s rice bowl, an amazing thing happened.

Shuuk, Shuuk, Shuuk-.

Morumoru’s rice bowl suddenly started to empty!

“hehehehe… ! A butterfly stole and ate Morumoru rice… !?”

Naru was greatly embarrassed.

But at the same time, it felt strange.

How could a butterfly as small as the palm of Naru eat that large feed in such a short amount of time?

“… A legendary butterfly?”

Maybe it was a great butterfly.

Flutter, flutter-.

Now I see that there are many similar-looking butterflies in the garden.

“One, two… . eight, nine… .”

about ten.

Ten butterflies sat on the strawberry tree as if soothing their weary wings. But the surprising thing was that the fruit of the strawberry tree was open.

“Winter Strawberries!”

Strawberries are only available in winter.

It was a fruit that was hard to see in summer like now, so the price was so high that even Naru couldn’t eat it.

How many winter strawberries are already open?

“… Winter strawberries are already open!”

Naru reached out her hand toward the winter strawberry tree, thinking that we should catch it and check it out.

“Naruya!”

swish-.

Someone grabbed Naru by the shoulder and pulled him.

Thanks to that, Naru was hugged by something warm and smelling good, but when she raised her head, Brigitte looked around and was wary.

“Don’t touch the butterfly carelessly. This is no ordinary butterfly. Naru, once you wake up, let’s go to the basement. Take Hina and Cecily to the basement too.”

“Brigitte, you smell like grapes!”

anyway.

Feeling this way, Naru headed for the basement.

There were already a lot of adults in the basement.

“Brigitte, how are things on the ground?”

At Salome’s question, Brigitte told everyone what she had just seen.

“The number of butterflies has decreased. The number of butterflies in the garden is about ten. It’s better than when it was over a thousand, but I think it’s probably gone somewhere else.”

Originally there were countless butterflies in the garden.

However, in the morning, they flew away somewhere, and now there are only a few left.

Can I say I’m lucky?

A situation where conversations come and go in many ways.

Naru quietly listened to the adults’ stories.

Because Naru was smart, he could at least notice what was going on outside.

“Ow, shack… ! Can I not go to Naru school today?”

* * *

“No, so the canvas I bought last night at your store was already painted! Did you sell your conscience by selling used goods?”

“Guest, our store does not handle used products. There’s no way the picture was drawn on the canvas, right?”

“Then what is this painting? Squirrel picture drawn here! I don’t know why my signature is on the picture, but—”

morning.

Morning was originally a quiet time, but today’s city was quite noisy.

The whole city seemed to be getting into some big trouble.

“Someone split all the firewood I was gathering to chop last night! Oh, there are all sorts of strange things in the world.”

“Look at this. The hair I cut a week ago has already grown like this. What is it?”

cluttered streets.

Naru looked around and smiled.

Because it felt good.

“I go to school with my dad! Oh yes!”

Naru liked the way her father took her to school.

However, Yuda, Naru’s father, looked around and clicked his tongue.

“I can’t believe I have to go to school under these circumstances. Graham Academy is tough. The school I went to was closed when there was an epidemic like the flu.”

A situation where the whole of Phrygia was swept away by a strange phenomenon.

However, it seemed that the children’s studies should continue.

“Oh, look at that!”

Then Cecily pointed at something.

It was a cherry tree planted as a roadside tree, but it was a tree with beautiful cherry blossoms that had been in full bloom for about two months. It was a pity when the cherry blossoms were over.

By the way, summer came and the flowers were open again on the cherry tree that had died down.

The sight of the cherry trees shedding their pink leaves in the gentle breeze was quite beautiful, but at the same time eerie.

“Cherry Blossom… . pink… . Hina’s hair color… .”

Hina caught a petal.

Yuda asked Hina when those ruby-colored eyes were strangely blurred.

“Hina, did you write something like this in your picture diary?”

“… … .”

Hina kept her mouth shut as if she was still in thought.

And soon he shook his head.

“no… .”

As I walked with that feeling, I had arrived at the school before I knew it.

The children came into the classroom—and entered.

There were quite a few children in the classroom who seemed to have already gone to school, but even though the desks were not yet full, the clutter exceeded the usual.

“Hans, look at this. Someone arbitrarily assembled the combined robot I was trying to make!”

“Who solved the 500-piece puzzle I was trying to put together… .”

The children were busy talking about the strange phenomena that had happened last night.

As Naru listened, something came naturally to everyone—they seemed to be sharing the same experience.

Naruto also had something to say.

“Naru too, someone did all the science homework! Could it be Morumoru?”

Naru thought that Morumoru had done it.

Then the children asked.

“Naruya, hasn’t Morumoru returned yet?”

“All of the mini anvils are gone. When will the Mini Morumoru return?”

The nationwide disappearance of Morumoru.

There seemed to be no sign of a solution yet.

Soon, Salome opened the door and entered the cluttered classroom.

“All of you, be quiet. And you did your science homework yesterday, right? Bring back the science homework done by the person behind you. And Naru prepares to write a letter of reflection.”

“Naru, you did your science homework! You don’t have to write a letter of reflection!”

“yes? Then, let’s start with the Naru one.”

Swish-.

Salome said after grading Naru’s science homework.

“You’re all wrong.”

“hehehehe… !”

“Getting everything wrong is the same as not doing your homework. Naru, you should write a letter of reflection on the paper the teacher gives you.”

At Salome’s words, Naru drooped.

Salome looked at Naru with narrow eyes.

Soon, Salome’s eyebrows gathered in the center, forming a curve on her forehead.

“Hina, didn’t you do your homework?”

“… … .”

Hina failed her science homework.

It was because I had been wandering around looking for treasure yesterday, and I fell asleep as soon as I lay down in bed.

The same goes for Cecily.

“Cecily, Hina, you guys should also write a letter of self-reflection. Then class begins. Today’s first class is science. We are going to learn about the temperature and color of mana. Mana in its natural state is originally pure white—”

The time when class ended with that feeling.

Naru trembled at the sight of the large paper.

“Writing a letter of reflection is annoying!”

Then, all the other children who hadn’t done their homework nodded their heads, saying, “Yes” or “I hate it, too.”

Then, Hina took something out of her arms.

It was a glass jar that kept things like peanuts, but inside the transparent jar was something strange instead of peanuts.

“Ow, shack… ! It’s a glowing butterfly… !”

It was a shining butterfly.

Hina opened the lid and carefully placed the butterfly on the white sheet of paper.

Then an amazing thing happened.

square, square-.

It made letters on paper.

“I’m sorry I didn’t do my homework. I will study hard from now on.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t do my homework. I will study hard from now on.”

.

.

.

Seeing that, Naru was greatly surprised.

“Butterfly wrote a letter of reflection! Please use Naruto too!”

Naru looked at the butterfly and stretched out her hand.

However, the butterfly seemed to lose its light, and then it melted like snow and disappeared.

Seeing this, Hina murmured softly.

“Once you use your strength… . I feel like I’m running out of life… . weird butterfly… .”

Hina felt as if she had grasped a little bit of the butterfly’s power. And so did the other children.

“Let’s catch butterflies!”

“I should have them write a letter of reflection instead of me!”

“How many were there on the playground?”

“Ow, shack… ! Everyone follow Naru!”

Wow—and the children ran out of the classroom following Naru.

The only ones left in the seat were Elizabeth and Tywin.

Elizabeth was a little afraid of what had happened today since last night.

‘Dad told me not to approach the butterfly… .’

Wouldn’t it be nice to dry the kids?

Hiding her slightly uneasy feelings, Elizabeth asked Tywin.

“Tywin, aren’t you going to catch butterflies?”

“I’m not going. And this is not a butterfly. It has the appearance of a butterfly, but they said it was closer to pure magic. it’s all white I learned it in science class, you know?”

“So you mean someone is making these butterflies and releasing them? is this magic? Magically writing self-reflection or helping with homework? why?”

“I don’t know about that.”

Tywin didn’t know much either.

I just overheard my mom talking to someone on the phone in the morning.

The mother, El Cladeco, said that this butterfly has the ability to warp time.

It might be a magic that manipulates time.

Tywin couldn’t say exactly what it was either, but it must have been something wonderful, judging from the excitement in his mother’s voice speaking over the receiver.

Maybe there is a wizard who surpasses Tywin’s mother, El Cladeco.

‘If you find him… . Can I tell my mom to help me?’

Tywin thought of his mother, El Cladeco.

The experiments she is continuing in the basement now.

“… … .”

When I thought about it, goose bumps ran through my body.

If it is completed, it will be over in many ways… .

Thinking so, Tywin couldn’t stay still.

“I have to go too.”

drooling-.

When Tywin pushed the chair to get up, Elizabeth asked in bewilderment.

“You want to go? where What are you going to do? The next class starts soon?”

“I must find a butterfly.”

“… butterfly?”

Elizabeth was embarrassed.

But when I thought of Tywin and all the children walking around the playground looking for butterflies, I felt a little envious.

I was a little nervous when I thought that Naru and Tywin might get closer to each other through this opportunity.

‘… Naru’s best friend is me! If I catch more butterflies and give Naru… .’

pat-.

Finally, Elizabeth and Tywin also left the classroom.

about a minute after that.

“Guys, today about predestination… .”

Pelagius, professor of theology, entered the Class A classroom.

But the classroom was just empty.

“What.”
