032 – Who is Naru’s mother # 4

032 – Who is Naru’s mother #4

“Is there no time for dinner tonight? I prepared Barbary-style barrel barbecue.”

Brigitte shook her head.

I prepared dinner for a long time, but no one came, so it seems strange.

“Instead, the small monk will accompany you.”

Instead, there was an elf bald head.

The guy casually ate a piece of meat and asked Naru.

“Naru-san, how is your school life?”

“Naru ate red bean bread at school!”

“It’s really sweet red bean bread. Soseung also started eating water and porridge after fasting for 40 days when he was young, and the first food he ate was red bean bread. At that time, the red bean bread was very delicious.”

“I’m going to try something called pizza bread tomorrow! There are 31 types of bread in the shop, and Elizabeth decided to buy all of them for Naru!”

“You are a good friend.”

The table was very noisy, which was nice.

It reminds me of the old days because it’s like this.

After infiltrating Pandaemonium, I used to camp with a bonfire like this.

Even back then, Brigitte did most of the cooking, and Enkidus talked about meaningless small talk in a calm voice.

Brigitte asked as the atmosphere matured for a while.

“Naruya, how is your homeroom teacher?”

Naru’s homeroom teacher.

It was the first time I knew that such an existence existed.

I didn’t even think to ask Naru what kind of person the homeroom teacher is!

It was the moment when I realized that I wasn’t ready to be a parent.

After all, Brigitte is a professor, even if it’s a parachute, so she’s quick about things like this.

If I became a mother, it was clear that I would be a good mother.

“I don’t know because I’m a high school and university professor. At first glance, I heard that he was recommended by the Holy See in the West. It seemed that he was only about twenty. Isn’t that great?”

Naru’s homeroom teacher seemed to be a great person.

He’s a great person, so he’ll educate Naru well to the SSR princess.

“Teacher… , Salome, I’m afraid… ! Naru keeps getting scolded… I wear it… .”

scolding naru

There’s no way he wouldn’t know who I am as Naru’s father.

Since he is not afraid of me and can scold Naru, he must be a great teacher.

Should I bring a present?

As I thought about it, it was already late for dinner.

Mulberry-.

Brigitte popped the champagne and served the cake.

“Whose birthday!?”

Naru is surprised.

Brigitte said soon.

“It’s an entrance celebration party.”

Shuk-.

Brigitte waved her hand, and the balloon rose and hit the ceiling of the lab.

Bright lights made of magic were hung here and there, and the atmosphere in the laboratory instantly brightened.

“party! Naru likes to party! It feels like being in a cabaret!”

“What a cabaret.”

Brigitte frowned.

Then he looked at me and Enkidus.

“Did you guys go to a cabaret or something with Naru?”

“The small monk, although he broke many precepts in the secular world, he did not fall to that extent.”

“Yeah, I didn’t go either.”

I shook my head.

Then Naru raised both hands and shouted.

“I haven’t gone yet, but I will go!”

“… … .”

Brigitte made an expression of incomprehension.

Thinking that the long-awaited party atmosphere would become strange if it stayed like this, I clapped my hands and shouted.

“Now then, let’s light a candle and sing a song. Congratulations on admission. Congratulations on your admission.”

Fu—Naru blowing out the six candles.

Pangpang- and magic firecrackers explode.

Soon Brigitte brought a large box from somewhere.

It was a pretty box with colorful wrapping paper.

“Naruya, it’s an entrance gift.”

“Gift! Naru, this is the first time since my birthday that I received a present!”

Naru was very happy.

“Narubigi, open up presents!”

Let’s come soon, and Naru opens the package.

A rolled scroll appeared in front of Naru, tied with a red ribbon.

After untying the ribbon, Naru twirled the red ribbon around in the air.

“What a nice ribbon! Brigitte, thank you!”

“No, Naruto. Ribbons are just for tying gifts, and paper is the real gift. Look at that paper.”

“eww… litmus paper?”

Maybe it was because she had been studying like a shower because of the entrance exam, but when she saw the letters on the paper, Naru thought it was a test paper.

However, Enkidus recognized the true value of the paper before Naroo.

“Oh, isn’t this a “magic scroll”? It was an item that allowed even those who had no talent for magic to use magic.”

magic scroll.

I kind of knew about that too.

It is such a rare and expensive item that even we, who are part of the Devil Castle Breakthrough Party, have never used it.

Gifting something like that to Naru?

“What magic is stored in the scroll?”

I asked.

Then Brigitte spoke.

“The [Contract Order] is written on the scroll. It’s a familiar contract. Now, Naru will be able to make any animal she wants into a familiar.”

“Oh, that must have been quite expensive.”

“Well, about two big ones went in. About 20 million arcs.”

20 million arcs.

Considering that the market price of Arc is strangely similar to the won, it was said that it cost about 20 million won.

No, you burn 20 million won for your child’s admission?

“Hey, Brigitte. Isn’t that too much?”

“Naru’s potential is endless. If you can protect the naru with 20 million arcs, it’s cheap. I wanted to put more effort into it, but that was the only thing I could make right away.”

“Naru, can I use magic with this?”

Naru looked at the paper and liked it very much.

Brigitte briefly explained to Naru.

“Naruya, all you have to do is put a drop of blood on the animal you want to be friends with. Of course, this is only possible with mutual consent, so you can’t stab any animal with a butterfly knife.”

“Naru, I want to find a tiger!”

It was Naruto that I liked very much.

The 25-year-old Enkidus, who was watching this, laughed kindly like a grandfather.

“It is a gift. Just in time, the small monks also have good things. This is the scale of Narmir, the lord of the sun, that the Grand Master acquired.”

What Enkidus took out of his pocket was a scale the size of a 500 won bill.

The color was shining brightly with rainbow light, but it was an unusual thing to look at.

“They say it enhances the luck of those who have it and ward off bad luck. I would like to express it as an amulet. Of course, whether or not it really works is a matter of faith.”

It’s a talisman.

When I briefly thought about it, Brigitte was quite surprised.

“If you are Narmir, the lord of the sun, isn’t it the Demiurge that the Ascension Lord of Sunlight serves? The scales of such an existence. It seems like something you can’t find anywhere. I want to study it once.”

If Brigitte is interested in it, it’s probably not just a talisman.

“warm… !”

Of course, Naru, who didn’t know the value, seemed to like it because the scales were softly warm.

“It’s like a piece of a rainbow!”

Maybe it’s because Naru is a little thief and also a girl, so it looks like he likes shiny things.

Now everyone’s eyes were on me.

“Yuda, do you have any gifts for Naru?”

Brigitte asked.

He seems to be wondering if I, the father, prepared Naru’s entrance gift.

Of course prepared.

Shuk-.

I took out a butterfly-shaped ribbon lockpick from my pocket.

Compared to the presents Brigitte and Enkidus had given her, she had a very shabby feeling.

“Originally, I wanted to give it a little earlier. The timing wasn’t right.”

yellow ribbon.

When I handed it to Naru, Naru opened her round eyes even wider than usual.

“It’s a butterfly ribbon! Oh. shh… ! Now that I see it, it’s not just a simple ribbon, it’s a lock pick! You can unlock all the locks with this! With this, is Naruto a veteran thief now?”

Naru really likes it.

It wasn’t particularly expensive, it was a ribbon that I received for free, but I was very fortunate.

“Thank you Dad!”

Warak-.

Naruto hugged me.

Somehow, I feel pretty cool.

Then Brigitte spoke.

“Don’t just look at it, put it directly on your head.”

“It’s a ribbon used for hair. It is an unimaginable gift for a small monk without hair.”

At Enkidus and Brigitte’s words, I received the ribbon and put it on Naru’s head.

It looked like a butterfly sitting on Naru’s head.

Round and round-.

Naru looked at her hair in front of the mirror.

And then hee-hee laughs.

“Naru, it feels like a birthday today! I wish I could have an entrance ceremony every day! How do I get the admission gift back? Expelled and re-enrolled? Oh wow… ! Naru is a genius… !”

I like it. It’s nice to see.

However, there was something I was curious about from what Naru said.

“Naruya, did you get a present on your birthday too?”

“I got a present!”

“Then do you remember when your birthday is?”

It was important to figure out when Naru was born.

Shouldn’t you be aware of the timing of Naru’s birth?

But Naru thought about it—um—and then shook her head.

“I don’t know!”

* * *

New, new-.

Naruto fell asleep.

“Naru… Familiar… .”

He sleeps without untying the ribbon I gave him.

It looks like you really liked it.

But I felt a little bit of remorse.

I’m the father, and I gave you the cheapest gift.

You must also have money.

Shuk-.

around 11pm.

Now is the time for everyone to go to sleep.

I tried to pack my coat appropriately.

Then Brigitte, who was sitting at her desk signing documents, asked.

“Where are you going? Enkidus went out too, so you go too? You’re not going to go to a cabaret with Enkidus, are you?”

Guggets -.

It was Brigitte frowning.

Of course I was embarrassed.

“Enkidus is out to play. I am going to work.”

“Work? Why all of a sudden?”

“I also have a daughter, so I can’t just play around. You will also have to pay tuition. I have to pay back the money I borrowed from you for school uniforms and stuff. Also, I can’t live on here forever.”

I’ve been quite indebted to Brigitte lately.

If I had been alone, I would have continued to live attached to it, but with Naru watching, I couldn’t help but do that.

After hearing the story, Brigitte put down the pen she was signing on and stretched out.

Then he yawned and wiped his wet eyes with his hand.

“… What am I? It’s fine if you continue to live here. It was my plan to have Naru enrolled in school in the first place. You don’t have to feel indebted.”

“No, it can’t be.”

“Do you know the price of a house in the Principality of Phrygia? A house with one room costs about 100 million arcs.”

“Is it true?”

Maybe it’s because it’s a neutral country that hasn’t been invaded during the war, but the real house prices are really expensive.

It seemed that for the time being, she had no choice but to be indebted to Brigitte.

“Also, just like the Arubaba bandits aimed at Naru, other guys might be aiming for Naru as well. I heard that Mara or something and the villains are conspiring?”

“It did.”

“Then there is no place as safe as my laboratory. Especially since this is my mage’s workshop, it’s also good for repelling intruders. There is also a barrier to defeat uninvited people.”

Indeed, Brigitte was wise.

After hearing it, it seemed that there was no other place as safe as this lab.

It was at the time when he was seriously making plans—whether independence should be postponed a little later.

Woo woo woo-.

All the lights went out with a strange sound.

Everything is immersed in black darkness.

Brigitte said in the dark.

“It looks like the magic drive has shut down again. It looks like someone is conducting experiments in the research building late into the night. It should come on again in about 5 seconds.”

“yes?”

If you use a lot of power, there are cases where the toad’s house goes down.

It seemed that there were times when the research buildings of these professors would lose all power like this if the magic device was used excessively.

“one two-.”

I counted 5 seconds.

From one, two, three, four, and five.

But even after 5 seconds, the light does not turn on.

The feeling is subtle.

I asked Brigitte in the dark.

“Brigitte, what level of barrier is your laboratory?”

“About gold grade.”

“What if the intruder is more than that?”

“I will break through.”

“Then be careful. Maybe there will be a thief tonight.”

“no way. Thieves break into professors’ labs? even you and me Wouldn’t that be too reckless though? If there is such a person, it would not be normal.”

It was Brigitte who huhuhu-smiled as if she had heard a joke.

His theory was, as always, a theory.

really smart

But the guy was overlooking one thing.

“In the first place, people who think normally will not do things like stealing.”
