052 – School fees are more expensive than you think! #3

052 – School tuition is more expensive than you think! #3

who said it?

“The gluttonous priestess knows everything. i know the location It’s just a few miles away. It’s not too far, so we can all go together after school!”

It was the first voice I heard.

The other classmates who were attracted to Naru and Tywin’s bet?

“The priestess of gluttony. What is it?”

“I don’t know. I’m hearing it for the first time too.”

“Do you really know everything? Did I eat another piece of cake without Mom knowing yesterday?”

The children started whispering.

Because it was a story that would attract children’s interest.

Cecily was also intrigued and asked around.

“If you really knew everything, would you know where Cecily von Ragdoll’s mom and dad are?”

Cecily wanted to know more about her mother and father than usual.

It was because of last night’s work.

yesternight.

A black hunter comes and talks with grandparents.

Cecily was prevented from entering the parlor by the maids and servants because she was conversing only with adults.

Still, according to the story I heard at a glance beyond the door, “What happened to my daughter… ?” or “Cecily’s mom and dad then—”.

What had become of Cecily’s mother and father?

I was very curious.

So, Cecily was interested in the voices heard among the children.

“Where is that gluttonous priestess?”

“For those who are curious, let’s meet in front of the school gate after school. Instead, you must bring something to eat. They won’t answer anything unless you give them something to eat.”

Sussuk-.

The child who spoke out disappeared between the students.

“I don’t know what it is, but Naru has two cheese pork cutlets! Naru is rich!”

Naru raised her hand and rejoiced at her victory.

The only one with a serious expression is the gray princess Tywin.

The children whispered a little while watching Tywin.

“I must be in a bad mood. Is it because you lost the pork cutlet?”

“Look at Tywin’s plate. Because there was no pork cutlet, the lunch became completely tasteless.”

“Let’s not talk today. Because Tywin has a bad personality.”

With that feeling, time passed and it became time after school before I knew it.

Today is the day Salome teacher gave her science homework.

“Harley, would you like to go over to your house and do your homework?”

“It’s good! Tywin, what about you?”

“I’m done. I have already finished my homework.”

“already!?”

It was time for the children to prepare for the dismissal with their groups of friends.

Cecily looked around and said.

“Did I ask you to meet at the front door after school?”

Cecily had planned to go see the priestess of gluttony today.

The children who noticed it laughed puhahahaha.

“A fool? No one knows everything.”

“The daughter of the Ragdoll family is more innocent than I thought.”

“Did I get stupid from playing with Naru?”

“… … .”

Cecily’s face flushed as the children made fun of her.

A few days ago, Cecily would have thought that there could be no such thing as a ‘shaman who knows everything in the world’, as everyone said.

It must have only appeared in old stories told by kind-hearted maids.

‘But what if it’s real? If it’s real, I’ll know where Mom and Dad are.’

Looking at the noisy class, Cecily opened her slender eyes and asked Naru.

“Naruya, do you want to come with me? Someone might tell you what kind of animal Morumoru is and what kind of shaman she is.”

“Morumoru! yes!”

Naru readily replied.

This appearance made Elizabeth very envious.

“I envy you. i want to go too My dad came to pick me up after school. After Mom collapsed in pain, Dad is worried a lot.”

Elizabeth also wanted to hang out and play with her friends after school.

But you have to listen carefully to what your parents say.

Inevitably, Elizabeth had to soothe her regret.

“Then you guys… .”

“I want to go too.”

Shuk-.

Then someone interrupted Naru and Cecily’s conversation.

It was Tywin Cladeco, with gray hair that was shiny and beautiful enough to look like silver.

To think that Tywin accompanies him on the way to find the ‘Gornivorous Shaman’.

The children were amazed by this fact.

“Tywin, don’t you believe in stupid stories?”

“Ah, please. Tywin proved by himself that there is no Santa at the age of 4. This time, I’m going to prove that there is no such thing as a gluttonous priestess in the world.”

“uh… Santa… doesn’t exist? Then who the hell gave last year’s Christmas present that was placed on Dali’s head? oh, i’m scared… !”

“There was no Santa! Nonsense!”

It was a moment when the children were very noisy.

Tywin replied briefly, “I’m only interested,” but Elizabeth, a girl who was sympathetic toward Tywin, felt a slight sense of danger.

‘To think Naru, Cecily, and Tywin were on an adventure together. And then what if they become very close to each other? Naru and Cecily are Elizabeth’s friends… !’

Nervous, Elizabeth immediately closed her eyes and shouted.

“I-I want to go too!”

At that, Naru tilted her head.

“Isn’t Elizabeth worried about your father?”

“… A day or so should be fine! I’ll tell Dad and ask him!”

“Ow, shack! I like going out with friends!”

With that feeling, everyone left the classroom.

At the school gate, Elizabeth’s father was waving her hand at her.

Elizabeth spoke as if she had made a big decision.

“First of all, I’ll tell Dad and come and see!”

Everyone watched from afar as Elizabeth talked to her father.

Elizabeth’s expression was quite stiff with tension, but it finally brightened and she hugged her father tightly.

“Looks good!”

Naru shouted.

Soon, dodo-do, said Elizabeth, who came running.

“They say you can play if you come back before dinner time! Instead, I have to do the literature homework my dad gives me, but… I got permission though!”

Elizabeth liked being able to play with her friends after school.

It was the time when both Naroo and Cecily were in a good mood, holding each other’s hands and circling around.

Tywin, who was the only one in the room with a tough expression, asked.

“So, where is the guy who will guide us to the shrine maiden? I told you to come to the front door after school.”

Tywin looked around.

Maybe I was tricked——just as I was thinking, I saw a girl approaching from afar.

Purple eyes with purple hair.

It was a child with long hair tied in a braid with red beads hanging down in two pigtails.

“you… .”

“I am Horohoro from Class H.”

A very strange name——Tywin thought briefly.

* * *

Naru. Cecily. Elizabeth. Tywin.

And the children named Horohoro walked the way home from school together.

It’s only two o’clock in the afternoon.

The world of spring was still sunny, so it was a good time for children to run around.

Coincidentally, the path that Naru’s party is passing through is a walkway in a park with quite a lot of trees.

Naru, who had been rummaging through the grass for a while, lifted something high.

“Look at this! Naru caught a snake! Once upon a time, my mom and dad caught a lot of snakes for me. Naruto also learned from watching it back then!”

Shuk-.

Naru raised the thin and long snake high.

It was a snake with black stripes on a yellow background.

“Ow, shack… ! I love how colorful the patterns are! If it wasn’t for Morumoru, I would have made it the Naru’s familiar!”

“Naruya, that’s a poisonous snake! Put it down now!”

Elizabeth screamed in astonishment.

Soon, Naru released the snake on the floor well.

– Sheck. Sheck.

“Good bye! see you later!”

Passeuk-.

The snake disappeared into the bush.

Cecily jumped out beside him.

In Cecily’s hand was a squirrel with nice black stripes.

“This Cecily von Ragdoll also caught an animal! Of course I’ll let you go again!”

ㅡKong-Kong… !

That’s a squirrel that barks like a dog.

It was a dog squirrel.

Seeing that, Elizabeth was startled.

“Dog squirrels are so nimble and quick that they are hard to catch, right? Cecily, how did you hold that with your bare hands?”

“Because hunting is a basic skill as a noble lady. I remember learning to hunt from my mother in the old days… . Oh oh oh, something… Something… I think I’ll remember more if I catch animals… !”

It was a very noisy time.

However, seeing this, Tywin frowned.

“So, when are you going to go to the place where the shrine maiden is? You’ve been playing in the park since before. I’ll do it after this.”

It’s only 2pm now.

There was little time until the sun went down, but Tywin grunted.

It was because the children were acting as if they had forgotten the purpose of the meeting.

At Tywin’s bruising, a class H student named Horohoro opened her eyes thinly and said,

“Because there is still time until the carriage arrives. In about 5 minutes, a large wagon will come on a circular trip to the outskirts of Phrygia. Let’s go soon!”

All the children wiped their hands at the story of Horohoro.

As I headed for the main road, I saw an object approaching from afar, wooing.

It was a wagon with large wheels.

However, it is not a horse-drawn carriage, but a magical chariot.

Seeing this, Naru shouted in wonder.

“You move without a word! Miraculous!”

Soon Tywin spoke.

“It was made by my mother. It is being tested in the Principality of Phrygia. If it goes well, I will sell it abroad. By the way, children can ride for free.”

Shuk-.

Tywin climbed into the mana-powered vehicle with a feeling of considerable proficiency.

A vehicle running on the ground.

It departs with a duffle-sound.

“Miraculous!”

I hope Naru looks out the window curiously for about 10 minutes.

The vehicle, which moved faster than expected, crossed the walls of the city-state of the Principality of Phrygia and headed for the outdoors.

Green fields spread all around the Principality of Phrygia.

The sky is high and the flowers are in full bloom, giving it a beautiful feeling.

It was in Provence, a small town located near Frisia, that the iron horse that was running stopped.

“You have to get off here. The gluttonous shaman is here in the village of Provence.”

“Provence… .”

Tywin opened his slender eyes and looked around.

Compared to the Principality of Phrygia, where magic engineering was highly developed, Provence, a nearby village, was a rural area with many people who herded sheep, raised cows, and made cheese with milk.

‘They say people’s personalities are all naive and kind.’

An ordinary rural village.

Is there really such a thing as a “gourmet priestess” in a place like this?

Tywin, a priestess of Demiurge and acting as an astrologer, looked around out of personal interest. Maybe it’s because I didn’t know that I could meet someone similar to myself.

‘But it’s definitely suspicious. Even this HoroHoro is suspicious.’

Tywin walked through the town of Provence, alert.

Soon Horohoro’s steps stopped in front of an old hut.

“Hina. I’m horo horo There are people who want to meet you.”

smart-.

Horohoro, a girl with purple pigtails, knocked on the door.

Then the door burst open from the inside, revealing a small face.

“… … .”

Appearing from the cabin was a girl with pink hair that sparkled so much that you could even feel the light gold in her reddish eyes.

Is he the same age as Tywin?

It was a girl dressed casually in dusty clothes like those of rural children.

“Are you a gluttonous priestess?”

Tywin asked.

At the same time, Tywin was able to see through quickly.

‘First of all, it’s not the great warrior of Demiurge. You can tell by looking at me that I was chosen by Goddess Epar. Are you a scammer?’

fake witch-.

It was time to think like that.

The girl with long pink hair looked carefully at the children and said.

“yet… you… time to meet… It wasn’t. can’t do it come in… . Naru. Cecily. And Tywin and Elizabeth.”

“You know Naru’s name! Naru, you must be famous!”
