My daughter, Micah, was a source of trouble.
No, as the village chief's wife, it's also a source of trouble.
In the garden of my heart, there are always plants and trees that have sprouted from the seeds of trouble, and all you can do is grow them...
As a human being, as a parent, my child still occupies a special position.
The flowerbed that planted the seed Micah is now, somehow, a plant with branches that protrude from it.
My daughter is fine.
I'd like to thank you for that.Thank you for the grace of the Wolf God for her ability to run around somehow with her injuries and illnesses.
But if you say so, you're too healthy and not beautiful.
I grew up in the countryside. It's only natural that I have a new wife, but I just need you to show me a little more sophisticated.
At least you don't have to play knight and swing the stick around and make the boy cry...!
"Micah! Even though it's a wooden stick, it can hurt a lot in some places!"
Before dinner, I scolded my daughter, who came home today covered in mud at the front door.
"Wow, I didn't mean to!"
"I'd be even angrier if I did it on purpose!Don't try to hide it from me. It's great to be honest with you!Very honest and very kind! "
"I'm praised for being angry!Either way, Mother! "
"That only makes me angry!?"
"Not good!"
Then I won't complain about it.Looking at her, she filled her cheeks with dissatisfaction and swollen her young face.
... Micah is cute even if she's angry. But I scold.
"You promised when you learned the sword from your father.Don't hurt people.Your father didn't teach you a sword to wave violence! "
That's why I was so careful.
"It's good to be careful, but not if you made the other child cry.Tomorrow, I'll go to her house with you to apologize! "
"Let's go then... Ugh, that's how everyone's doing it!"
"My house is a village chief's house, and Micah is taught by a knight's father, so it's tougher than the others."
It's a powerful position.
Even if the other child is injured, it is difficult for the parents to complain to the village chief's house.
That's why the village chief's family has to discipline themselves.
Young Micah may not be convinced, and you may think it's unreasonable, but I can't sweeten it up here.
"Even though it was an accident, I did something dangerous.Reflect on it properly. "
"Hah....."
The answer is good for now.I wonder how many times this precaution has happened.
With a sigh, I'd like to add a paragraph.
"Are we done? We did it! Mom, I'm hungry. How about dinner today?"
"Yeah, enough about making the boy cry."
Micah's smile hardened.
"Next, I need you to reflect on what you were playing with today's study?"
This whole thing was on purpose, wasn't it?
Micah, you hate studying.You didn't like it, so you ran away.
Looking down with a smile, Micah's face drew blood.
Yeah, well, I'm glad you know the gravity of what you did.But it's too late to understand.
"I told you this afternoon I was studying letters!What the hell do you think you're going to do, and you're not coming home till evening! "
"Because everyone else is playing...."
"There are times when everyone else can't play with the help of the fields!Micah has to study instead of helping out with the fields! "
"That might be so...Oh, I'm helping out with the fields too!I'd better help you with the fields! "
I know that Micah is helping her when her best friend is driven out to work in the field.
Friends think it's a good thing, and experience will come in handy someday.
But it's just another help from a friend who helps with field work.
Though it may be difficult, the responsibility is thin.I can't throw away my studies as a daughter of the village chief's house for a good reason.
What is in the field is the work of the farmer, and the work of the village mayor's house is to make good use of the harvest of the field.
"I know that Micah prefers to move her body.But somebody in this village has to learn to write and to calculate.It's the role of the village chief's house. "
"Ugh, I don't really understand the village chief's house!It's good to be with everyone! "
When they say so, I am weak too.
Especially when you say your feelings are overflowing with your lips tightly tied together, your words get pinched.
It was I who wanted to bear this child as a daughter of the village chief's house in Nodula.When my daughter told me that the title of the village chief's house was heavy, my lips continued to spit out sermons.
Once closed, the words of anger quickly disappear into your mouth, like a lantern with a lid on it.
When you relax with your words and kneel down, your eyes meet those of your cute daughter.
It turns out that the pressure of special treatment accumulates because she is the daughter of the village chief's family.
"Still, you're me and Klein's daughter.Someday you'll need to read, write, and calculate. "
Because I am the daughter of Klein, I need it more than anyone else.
We are expected to have far more talent than any civilian soldier's children in the capital.
"So, take your time. Shall we study?I won't take away all the time I have to play.I don't lose any time moving your favorite body.I know I hate it, but I still want Micah to study. "
"... it's hard to study."
Micah's muffled voice is zero.
"Yeah, it's not easy.Normally, I find it difficult. "
"I can't, I'm bored."
"Mom thought so when she was your age."
Really?
My daughter knocks at me with a frightening voice at night, opening the door to memories that I won't be proud of.
"Mom hasn't been good at studying since she was a kid.It was tough sitting still, the letters seemed to be dull graffiti, and I didn't know how to calculate, so I had a tantrum. "
"... your mother?"
If you look at your face so seriously, your face gets hot on a boulder.
Remember to preach like a great man, and not even when you were little, huh?
But it's true.So be honest and ashamed.
"When I look at Micah, oh, she's really my daughter... that's what I feel."
It's like I'm looking at myself when I was little.
Every time I feel that way, I'm a little embarrassed and so sweet.
"Really? Did your mother hate studying too?Didn't you study? "
"Really, really. I'm not lying. So strange?"
I wonder if my daughter sees me so well that I can do anything.
When I asked half the questions with pleasure, the answers came back that I never thought I would.
"I mean, when I look at Ash-kun, he's really smart even though he's not studying...That's why I think I'm retarded.... "
Oh, yeah, that's it. It wasn't me, it was just this kid's special problem.
That red-haired boy.
Very strange, childhood habit of a daughter born in the same winter.
Well, that's certainly the only reason she wants to distance herself from her studies.
Having someone who can't, and someone who can, weighs just enough to change the shape of a soft mind.
"There's nothing wrong with Micah. Never."
It's me and Klein's daughter.It depends on a smart person.
After all, it was born between my beloved Klein and me whom Klein loved.It is decided that the first daughter of the Kingdom will be born.
Because I believe so, I can say it out loud.Our daughter is cute and smart.
"I'm sure Ash-kun is wonderful and smart.I'm sure the monkey god will protect you. "
I can only imagine that.
Nobody should have taught me how to multiply.I don't seem to be able to read letters on boulders, but I still know things well.
She's special.
That doesn't mean Micah is inferior.
"God's blessings are special, so it's only natural that you can't imitate them right away.But if you study with Micah, you'll catch up with Ash-kun one day. "
"I don't know...."
Mayka sharpens her lips to the point where she feels uncomfortable.Certainly, Ash-kun's mysterious atmosphere makes him hesitate to try to catch up.
Micah may have been too uncomfortable with Ash-kun because of her keen understanding of the matter.You must resemble me.
In my case, I fell in love with someone who felt such a strange atmosphere... but I didn't look like my parents or my daughter here.
"Anyway, you're not retarded compared to the others.Just remember that.It's okay to study little by little, let's do it. "
"Uhh...."
Oh, no. I don't think I can nod right now.
I couldn't believe I was so bad at studying.
"Good. I won't ask you to study hard for a while. I'm sorry."
Parenting is difficult.
I'll talk to Sheba next time.The mother who raised Ash-kun may have some good clues.
Otherwise, as the same mother, you'll feel lighter just by talking.
"Now, finish your study."
"... dinner?"
No? No.
"Don't you have any reflection on what you promised to do?"
"I'm sorry! I really think about it! So let me eat already!"
Yes, that's a good answer.
But I need some reflection, so I'm going to let you eat a lot of Micah's vegetables today.
It's good for the body, so it's two birds with one stone.
I think it was just before that my daughter was worried that she was too healthy.
It's been less than a year, so the phrase "last time" should never be inappropriate.
When I recognized the sight in front of me, I had trouble not being confident.
"Ta, ku...? Ma... well...?"
Micah is roaring with a stick of wood.
Previously on Micah, a wooden stick was a knight's sword, but not now.
I write something on the soil of the garden with a wooden stick.And beside it is a bundle of paper borrowed from the church.
Micah was so proud that Ash-kun was using that bundle of paper to remember the letters.
Why does Micah boast?
While wondering, some say it's obvious.
Micah fell in love with Ash. [M]A wonder that doesn't require anything else.
"Ta, ma... ah! All right, here we go!"
It looks like we've finally finished writing. Micah barked with her hands on her hips.
Then, when you open the bundle of paper, you compare it to the text on the ground many times, and every time you nod, your smile becomes dazzling.
"Mom, Mom! Look at this!Can you read? Hey, can you read? "
My cute daughter calls me, stops doing the laundry, and goes to see what my daughter's study has accomplished.
The text on the ground is a bit of a bad shape, but it contains a letter that you can understand, so I read it out loud.
"Furious Wolf God, wise Monkey God, fierce Dragon God.Give me that great power today. "
Reading through and laughing, Micah waved her hands with a radiant smile.
"I did it! Now it's time for nothing to go wrong!"
"Yeah, that's it. I can write everything so that I can read it properly."
In this short period of time, it has improved tremendously.
Driftstone was the kingdom of me and Klein's daughter.
Ehehe, I'm still using only the words in this sentence.
"I just started studying with you, Ash, and that's enough."
Considering the pace of your previous studies, it's really amazing.
I don't have to say anything, but when I find time, I open a bunch of paper and read the holy phrase, and come to hear what I don't understand.
It was like lying to lie to me that I hated studying.
"If you tell me you've done this, I'm sure Ash-kun will praise you."
Ehehe, is that so?
My cheeks relax with the melting smile of my daughter.
It seems that Ash-kun's poor study is no longer painful. [M]
That's what love is, isn't it?
With one of those seeds, it becomes a flower large enough to cover all of the world.
From now on, this child will soon grow up and become beautiful.
With that in mind, I feel lonely when my daughter is supposed to be happy growing up.
If you think you won't be able to see your stepmother or this nasty kid, it's a pity to want to see more.
Even though I was supposed to feel so anxious and frustrated after preaching so loudly... my parents are selfish.
When she returned to the laundry with a bitter smile on her face, Micah began to write the same words on the ground again.I can see that it can be written more easily than before.
Micah, you want to take a break?
"I'm still fine!"
I'm studying without asking or looking at me.
My little girl seems to have been completely taken away by Ash-kun.I'm just a little jealous.
You've got a lovely seed of love.
This will be your biggest concern for some time to come.
Congratulations, Micah.
