That was the day after it rained like rubble (crumble).

"Dad! Rae fell into the river and got flushed!

It was Haltris, a three-boy who turns 8 this year, who screamed about rushing into the house.

Listening to his son's words, Cyrus dropped the tools in his hand properly on the floor. At the same time, the window frame that was being repaired fell and fragments scattered across the floor.

"Hey, you said it was flushed!?

"Because of the rain yesterday, the flow is sudden! That guy, jump in there... My brothers remain at the scene. Anyway, hurry--"

I'm home.

Haltris' desperate appeal is quashed by two laid-back voices.

It was Maurice and Edgar who followed it. Both of them, their feet are wet and full of mud.

... Plus beside Maurice, a wet cattleya was held by the chicks.

"Ugh, uh, yeah, eh. I thought I was going to die..."

"Right. I agree with that."

Maurice nods at the crying Cattleya. And he put his sister down like a doorway.

Unable to process the dizzying and changing information, Cyrus stares down at his wet mouse daughter.

I had no choice but to keep an eye on the end of things Gardenia opened her mouth.

"What the hell happened?"

"One of the hounds was gone, so we all went looking, and we found ourselves stuck in Central America, on a river that had increased water."

Edgar answers shoulder-to-shoulder.

"Then this guy suddenly jumps into the river. I didn't think this time it would work anymore because the stream drank me and I couldn't see him anymore, but after a while I heard a peepy cry, so I looked, and I was caught in a downstream falling tree."

……

"Keewoon."

Like affirming Edgar's words, a maniacal mutt appears and snarls.

"White Rock," Cattleya called, the dog sat down a bit on Cattleya's side.

... and Katrea, the dog's moist eyes look up to Gardenia saying "forgive me".

…… So did Cattleya help the dog? "

"No, the dog was up to shore on his own. Rae just took the liberty of falling into the river and bothering us."

There was no defense.

Katrea was annoyed after that.

With the desire ”to be a beautiful and graceful woman," Cyrus' fourth child was named Katrea.

But the mother's words, "This child takes a hand," are right.

By the time she was about 11 months old, she had unfortunately come to show her talent and had escaped, disappeared and eloped - causing all kinds of noise.

And now that I'm 6 years old.

The life crisis hair experience Katrea had accumulated to a number that could not be counted with her fingers on both hands.

The question comes to Gardenia's mind that this guy is actually already looping.

But you can't ask Cattleya herself about the loop. If she had firmly recognized the existence of the loop, it would surely be a hell of a thing. There was such a hunch and uncertainty in Gardenia.

Anyway, when left alone, Cattleya starts running towards the afterlife on her own.

So we have to let her live a life unrelated to the interaction between Loop and - life.

With that in mind, Gardenia issued a martial arts injunction to Cattleya after there was one case of the river. He was the only one who spoke differently, and the general crowd convinced him, "That's right".

"I want to learn martial arts myself," the person who was crying and rambling was just slightly tempted to say, "Learning martial arts is going to make marrying a prince a long way away," and stopped slightly resisting.

Gardenia, who had some anticipation for Cattleya's talent, was a little shocked.

But not if you're depressed here.

Cattleya's mother left the world while Cattleya was still among the babies.

Only Gardenia and servants have female hands in this house anymore. I can't even afford to hire a fine tutor.

That's why Gardenia has to raise Cattleya to be a decent young lady.

"You have much more to learn than to live as a nobleman's maid."

"Yes!"

First day of special training for Cattleya's Lady.

To Gardenia, who spoke with a harsh voice, Cattleya responded well with her eyes shimmering.

"My grandmother. If you work hard here, you'll be my prince's wife, won't you?

"Exactly."

Due to educational circumstances, Gardenia lied.

"If you become a nice warrant lady, you should be sure to catch the prince's eye wherever you are. So to refine. … So let's start by practicing reading and writing"

"Uh..."

"The prince prefers smart women who read a lot of books. Besides, you'll have trouble writing when you communicate with the prince."

"... I see! I'll study!

Gardenia thinks about what's to come, masterfully controlling her terribly simple granddaughter.

... Katrea is not a rebellious child. But for some reason, danger often rolls in before her. And even worse, she has a bad habit of putting her foot in that danger.

Then you can correct that vice. Now we're going to work her out thoroughly, and we're going to tap her into sobriety and separation. That would dramatically reduce the danger she would encounter.

Besides, I'm not saying she's a pretty girl, but Katrea has a sweetheart. If he grows up to be a decent woman, the prince may not be able to do it, but he can make the house there dowry.

(Cattleya's future hangs in my hands)

Gardenia inspires herself quietly.

Thus opened the curtain were the long days of Caterean bride training.
